Tian Zhiyu originally wanted Meng Huansheng to live in Ma Bencai's house, but Meng Huansheng sternly refused.

He said that he preferred to sit outside and enjoy the breeze and moon, and Ma Bencai's house always made him feel a copper smell.

Tian Zhiyu didn't force it, most of these martial arts masters had their own quirks, he could tell himself so much, Tian Zhiyu was already very satisfied.

However, since he promised to give him wine every day, Tian Zhiyu thought that there was not much liquor at home, so he happened to go to the little couple's house to see how they were studying.

After practicing swords with Wu Qingshan the next day, Tian Zhiyu changed his clothes after he came back, asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and set off.

When he arrived in Qiantang Village, he pushed the door into their house and saw that the little lady was busy inside and out.

When she saw Tian Zhiyu, she immediately walked over with a smile.

This little lady is graceful and light-footed, and Tian Zhiyu is full of excitement every time he sees her.

"Tian Gongzi, it's been a long time, come with me, Xianggong and I have already made some spirits according to your method," he said, pulling his sleeve and walking in.

The two of them walked to her family's brewing workshop and saw that in addition to the little lady's father-in-law, there were three other people who were busy in full swing.

The last time Tian Zhiyu came, apart from the couple and the couple, there was only one craftsman in the workshop, and now there are two more, and the business of wanting to come to their house is still good.

The little lady's father-in-law was also very excited when he saw Tian Zhiyu, trotted all the way over, and said with a smile: "Tian Gongzi, come and taste the spirits we brewed." ”

The couple dragged Tian Zhiyu to a wine vat, the little lady lifted the lid, picked up a large cup and handed it to Tian Zhiyu.

Tian Zhiyu looked at the wine in the cup, it was clearer and smelled more fragrant than the one he had purified, and there was a layer of hops floating on the top of the glass.

Tian Zhiyu took a sip gently, and in an instant the wine was like a sweet spring sliding into his throat, although it was also burning with fire, it was soft and gentle, and his mouth was sweet.

Tian Zhiyu smacked his mouth and said: "It's really good wine, the taste is mellow, strong but not rushing, much better than my wine." ”

The little lady hurriedly said: "We have made some changes on the basis of yours, and we use the original puree to distill directly," and then she pointed behind her and said, "Childe, you see, this is our equipment." ”

Tian Zhiyu looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a large steamer with a lot of ceramic pipes of different thicknesses coiled on it, which should be the distillation tubes and condenser pipes they made.

They didn't use copper, so these clay pipes and porcelain pipes were much cheaper than copper pipes.

But now that they've succeeded, it doesn't matter what material they're made of.

The little lady introduced the role of each pipe one by one, in principle, it is indeed similar to Tian Zhiyu, but it is better in many details.

At that time, Tian Zhiyu told Feng Zhengkun that once there was a demand for private workshops, they would do their best to create efficient equipment.

Isn't it a living example in front of you?

Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but praise them, and in the end, the little lady was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "It's still Tian Gongzi, your method is ingenious, without your guidance, we can't think of this method in our lives." ”

Tian Zhiyu looked around, and then asked, "Then how many spirits have you brewed now?"

The little lady was a little embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "We mainly studied this equipment in the early stage, and it took more than a month, and we have just started to make wine in the past few days, and what you just drank is the first vat." ”

What do you mean that it is better to come early than to come by chance, Tian Zhiyu said secretly.

"And how long does it take for a vat to brew at your current rate?"

"Three days," said the little lady.

"How many catties are in this tank?" Tian Zhiyu asked again.

The little lady replied, "If this jar is full, it will cost 1,500 catties, and now it is about 1,000 catties in it." ”

Tian Zhiyu nodded, thinking that this was a lot.

"Then have you started selling?" Tian Zhiyu then asked.

The little lady shook her head: "Not yet, I want to brew another vat and start selling." It's just that I don't know if the people in Yuhang are used to drinking rice wine and will like this kind of spirit. ”

"Definitely," Tian Zhiyu thought about the reaction of those who had drunk the spirits.

Although they all seemed to be in pain at the time, they were a little afterwards.

"I hope that Xianggong and I have invested all our family savings in this equipment, if we can't sell it, we will be miserable," although the little lady said with a smile, Tian Zhiyu could still feel the worry between her eyebrows.

Tian Zhiyu thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, I'll buy one back first and give it to some more people, so as to help you publicize it." ”

The little lady hurriedly said: "Tian Gongzi, you are joking, how can we ask for your money? This wine was invented by you." ”

Her father-in-law also immediately said: "Yes, yes, if Tian Gongzi likes it, you can take it as you like, we originally promised you to give you a tank." ”

Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "I still have to send it, but when you make more wine in the future and start to make money, you will send it to me, I will buy it first now, and be your first guest." ”

The couple said that they didn't want Tian Zhiyu's money, and finally Tian Zhiyu said: "If you don't want money, I don't want this wine." ”

Hearing him say this, the couple reluctantly agreed.

They took the jar for wine and filled Tian Zhiyu with fifty jars, Tian Zhiyu paid according to the price of one tael of silver and one jar of wine, and the couple looked at the fifty taels of silver tickets in their hands, and they didn't know how to thank Tian Zhiyu.

Tian Zhiyu said again: "You can concentrate on brewing wine, I will definitely sell it to you, and you can sell as much as you brew." ”

The couple hurriedly agreed.

Tian Zhiyu said again: "You also have to give this wine a name, indicating that this is your family's wine, even if others follow in the future, others will know that you are the first." ”

Both of them nodded yes when they heard this, and the little lady said: "This is indeed a good idea, then please ask Tian Gongzi to help us choose a name." ”

Tian Zhiyu didn't shirk it, thought for a while and said: "Since this wine is taken from the water of the Qiantang River, it is called Qiantang Bar." ”

"Okay, it's called Qiantang wine," the couple happily agreed.

Tian Zhiyu asked the coachman to go to Feng's mansion first, and he wanted to sell the wine to Feng Tianyou first.

With them to advertise, I don't have to worry that this wine will not be sold in the future.

Feng Tianyou, who was practicing in the courtyard, saw him come in with two jars of wine, and asked curiously: "Zhiyu, you can come, why do you still bring wine? ”

Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "Old man, this is a better wine than the liquor I brought you last time, I specially brought it here for you to taste." ”

When Feng Tianyou heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly gave the sword in his hand to the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to call Feng Zhengqian and Feng Zhengkun.

After the two brothers came, the servants had already prepared the wine glasses, Tian Zhiyu opened a jar, poured a glass for each of the three people, and then said: "This wine is also a spirit, but the taste is much better than what I brought last time." ”

The three of them were very curious, but thinking of how they felt when they drank the liquor last time, they didn't dare to take a big sip, but only dared to take a sip.

When they swallowed the wine slowly, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva vigorously, and then glanced at each other, Feng Tianyou said: "Good wine, really good wine, although it is strong, it is not uncomfortable, and it tastes much better than the taste you brought last time." ”

"Yes, this wine is down the stomach, but there is still sweetness and fragrance in the mouth, it is the best wine I have ever drunk in my life, Zhiyu, you can tell me where this wine came from," Feng Zhengqian also hurriedly said.

Tian Zhiyu told them in detail about the past and present life of this wine, and several people were quite emotional after hearing it.

"That is, Zhiyu, you are so generous, and you teach such an important thing to others for free," Feng Zhengqian said.

Tian Zhiyu hurriedly said: "If it were me, I could only brew the kind of wine I drank for you last time, but this couple can brew the wine you drink now, I think this is the most suitable." Professional things are left to professional people. ”

Feng Tianyou gave him a thumbs up and said: "Well said, professional things are handled by professional people, this is not only the way to behave in the world, but also the way to be an official." ”

Tian Zhiyu waited for them to finish drinking the glass of wine, poured another glass for each person, and said with a smile: "But the three seniors, this is not for nothing, Zhiyu still has conditions." ”

Hearing his words, Feng Tianyou just smiled, and Feng Zhengqian said: "Okay, you Zhiyu, it turns out that there is a purpose for inviting us to drink, let's say, what are the conditions." ”

Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "Dongyang people have always drunk low-alcohol wine, and I don't know if they can accept this kind of spirit. This is also what the young couple is worried about, afraid that they will not be able to sell it after brewing. Therefore, I hope that the three seniors will promote this wine with those dignitaries and nobles in the future. ”

"Only this one condition?" Feng Zhengqian said.

Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "There is only this one condition." ”

Feng Tianyou laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this? The old man attends countless banquets every year, and knows countless dignitaries, and at the banquet in the future, the old man will let them taste this wine, and I think those drunkards will also love this wine, and this matter will be wrapped up on the old man." ”

Tian Zhiyu was overjoyed, with the recommendation of Feng Fu, it was a matter of time before this wine spread in Yuhang.

As long as these dignitaries and nobles like it, they don't have to worry about ordinary citizens not liking it.

"Zhiyu, how much of this wine do you have now, leave some for us, and help you promote it from today on," Feng Tianyou said with a smile.

Tian Zhiyu said: "That couple has only brewed the first jar now, I bought fifty jars from them, left thirty jars for the house, and I have other uses for the rest." ”

"Okay, thirty jars are enough to drink for a while, you go and tell the little couple again, no matter how much wine they can brew, just send it to our Feng Mansion," the old man said boldly.

After unloading thirty jars of wine, it was also time for lunch in Fengfu, so Tian Zhiyu was not polite and stayed.

At lunchtime, Tian Zhiyu saw that Feng Jingnan kept pouting, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at him.

Since he was completely healed, Feng Jingnan couldn't go to see him often, and it was inconvenient for him to always come to Feng's mansion, and it was not easy for the two of them to meet now.

Tian Zhiyu secretly gave her a comforting smile, and his mind was also thinking about how to find a way to ask her out.

In addition to these people, Tian Zhiyu also met Feng Sigong, who had not been seen for a long time.

Feng Sigong was also very happy to see him, if it weren't for the presence of many elders, he would have held his hand and chatted with him.
