A few days before he got sick, Cai Jin was able to eat some liquid food, but later these days, he could only wet a few drops of water on his lips.

In fact, Cai Jin's illness is not serious, it is a physical weakness caused by not being able to eat. After running a few laps of Zhenyuan into Cai Jin's body, Cai Jin gradually gained strength, and after eating the fish that Gu Yuan had caught from the river for a few days, his sunken cheeks slowly began to bulge.

Cai Jin's ambition is not to make wine, he wants to take the entrance examination of Qingxi Academy and become a student of Qingxi Academy.

The Great Yan Dynasty had a cabinet with 20 scholars, eight of whom were from Qingxi Academy. The weight of a university scholar is extremely heavy, and both domestic and foreign policies come from the cabinet, and Cai Jin wants to be such a pivotal person.

Only the best students of Qingxi Academy are eligible to participate in the palace examination, and after spending a few days with Cai Jin, Gu Yuan is very sure that Cai Jin is still far from the word "excellent".

However, no one can stop Cai Jin's footsteps, after he recovers, he still has no intention of inheriting the ancestral business, and still locks himself in the study every day to read and write.

If there is no money at home, he will drop his jewelry, and more than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, just when Gu Yuan was about to give up, Cai Jin actually wanted to make wine.

This is indeed unexpected, and what is even more unexpected is that Cai Jin actually moved the copper tripod of wine-making to Sun's house and made wine in the yard.

Cai Jin lay on the ground, pouting his ass and tinkering with the firewood, and Erxi and Gu Yuan sat on the ground holding their faces in a daze.

Cai Jin accidentally met Sanqiao and suddenly wanted to make wine, and fortunately he had this idea, otherwise "Sorrow" is likely to make a comeback again one day, because Cai He is most at ease is the Cai family's lotus brew.

"I really didn't think that Cai Jin almost died because of his own eldest brother, isn't it the old saying that the person who hurts you is always the closest person?"

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Almost." ”

Erxi looked at Cai Jin screaming as he was smoky, and couldn't help but laugh: "Brother-in-law, what do you say this kid is crazy?"

"I think most of them have taken a fancy to your sister. ”

"What?" Erxi jumped up in shock.

Sanqiao was kind-hearted, and when he heard that Cai Jin's fire had not been lit for a long time, he groped forward and pulled up the disgraced Cai Jin, and used a burning stick to pluck the firewood pile a few times, and the flames suddenly burst out, and after a while, the firewood pile burned slowly.

"How can the firewood be burned when it is piled up together?" Sanqiao took Cai Jin's hand, put the burning stick in his hand, and continued: "Put the firewood slowly, don't try to be fast." ”

Cai Jin's eyes were stunned, his eyes moved with Sanqiao, and the whole person was stupid.

"It's over. Erxi slapped his thigh and said, "This kid is really interesting to my sister." ”

"Didn't you always want your sister to marry as soon as possible?" Gu Yuan raised his chin at the two people not far away, and said, "Isn't there a chance now." ”

"This kid can't do it. Erxi looked down on Cai Jin in his tone, "This kid is a dead brain." ”

"No, no. Erxi paced back and forth, and finally stopped, looked at Gu Yuan and said, "I have to find a way to stop the two of them." ”

"How do you want to stop it?"

Erxi's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, and said with a sly look in his eyes: "Let him make a fool of himself." ”

Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you going to do?"

"For example......" Erxi snapped his fingers and said, "When he carried water, he let him fall into." ”

"Then your sister is likely to let him rest next to him and help him pick up all the water.

Also, with his body bones, he can fall on all fours without you tripping. ”

Erxi was a little deflated, and came up with another plan, saying, "How about letting him never make wine?"

"Are you stupid?" Gu Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "We can also share the money for the brewed wine, and in order to make him ugly, you are not even ready to ask for money?"

Besides, even if you don't obstruct him, it's still a matter of two things whether he can brew lotus brew, at least I don't see any hope for him who can't even memorize the materials. ”

"In this way, he is simply useless~" Erxi looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I can't say that, he still has merit. Gu Yuan had a different view.

Erxi looked forward to it: "What merit?"

Gu Yuan touched his chin, looked at Cai Jin's face and said, "His face is not bad, it's very good-looking." ”

“......”

"Actually, you can relax completely, what if your sister doesn't mean anything to him at all?"

"No way. Erxi squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, "No one has ever liked my sister, she has never tried this kind of taste, and she must have been easily impressed." ”

“......”

......

There are fifty kinds of ingredients in the lotus brew, each material is put in at a different time, the heat required is naturally different, in the twenty days, the winemaker can hardly close his eyes, to keep an eye on the wine in the copper tripod, which is a great consumption of the spirit and body.

It's easy to memorize the ingredients, but it's hard to put the ingredients in the brewery. Cai Jin memorized the fifty kinds of ingredients backwards, but when he really brewed wine, he lost everything and forgot everything.

"Two and a half catties of leafless fruit, five quarters of an hour of warm fire, seven taels of snake mushroom juice, half an hour of fire......"

Cai Jin, who was carrying the square, suddenly threw the paper in his hand into the fire, slammed his fists to the ground, and said in frustration: "I can't do it at all......"

Half a month has passed, and Cai Jin still has no progress in brewing lotus brew, and it can even be said that he has always stood still.

Steward Zhou, who was guarding the side, never thought that Cai Jin would throw the wine-making house into the fire and burn it, and he pounced on it to save it, but it was too late.

"Fangzi, Fangzi......"

Zhou Guan, who was tightly held by Gu Yuan and Erxi, shouted at the fire frantically.

"What else do you want to do with the wine that can't be brewed?" Cai Jin said with a nonchalant face: "Isn't it good for us to make ordinary wine like other wineries?"

"You...... You ......" The green tendons on Steward Zhou's neck bloomed one by one.

"I'm destined to be the one who wants to enter the academy, brewing is really not for me, it's enough for me to work hard, my children are destined not to step into this industry in the future, what else do you want to do?"

Steward Zhou's body was as soft as a noodle, silent, and tearful exchanges.

"People who can't even solve the problem with a small jar of wine still want to enter the academy to give advice to the world?"

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, Erxi laughed and added, "Are you going to laugh at me to death?"

Cai Jin argued with a red face: "What do you know?"

Then, his face softened again, and he said coldly: "The ancients competed for morality, the Middle Ages competed for wisdom, and today they compete for strength." ”

Gu Yuan and Erxi were both confused, glanced at each other, and asked at the same time, "What do you mean?"

Steward Zhou said quietly: "He's saying that you will only use barbaric force to solve problems. ”

"I see. Erxi rolled up his sleeves and said, "He's scolding us for not having a long brain." ”
