The rise of the prince

Chapter 128
Many days have passed since the Plum Garden Poetry Meeting, but for some reason there are rumors in Kyoto again.

Li Xingzhou's copying of poems has become a hot topic, and he hangs around in various Goulan restaurants, and there are many discussions.There are various versions, and there are various versions, but the reason is that the students of the Imperial College came to ask for advice. As a result, Li Xingzhou didn't even know how to write poetry, and he beat people after being questioned.

Then Lu Ming, a student of the Imperial College, was filled with righteous indignation and repelled him despite the oppression of evil forces. The whole story is roughly like this.

After all, it is a story of justice finally defeating evil, which is deeply loved by the people in Beijing, and the matter of Li Xingzhou's copying of poems seems to be confirmed following these rumors that are flying all over the sky.

Li Xingzhou became the Li Xingzhou who everyone shouted for beating again, and this time his momentum surpassed that of before.

At this moment, Li Ye didn't know that he was directing Jia Ding to dig the foundation by the river, Yue'er and He Qian were playing backgammon that he taught, and Qiu'er was directing the workers with him, because Qiu'er was in charge of calculations.

The progress of the whole project is very fast, the life of the palace has become prosperous, and the servants are very excited and working hard. They didn't even have a monthly payment before, but now they have more than 400 cash per month, and Yan Shen, Yan Cook and the like Just more.

Four hundred wen, before, was a monthly payment that could only be obtained for a whole year, so now the palace is full of enthusiasm, everyone praises the son, always talks about how good the son is, and sometimes quarrels with people outside because of it.

Li Ye was naturally happy that everyone was working quickly, and he waved his hand and said, "Keep up, let Yan Cook make braised pork for you tonight!"

Immediately, the servants all cheered, and the work became more efficient.

Listening to Yulou, Yan Kun would come to tell him about the situation every few days. At present, the coachmen and bearers in the vicinity have already cooperated with them, and signed contracts with them in black and white according to Li Ye's instructions. Help them attract customers, and ensure fairness, come in the order of the list, and at the same time, [-]% of the money for all the drivers and sedan chairmen will go to Ting Yulou.

Once a breach of contract is found, no soliciting customers near Tingyu Tower is allowed.

In the beginning, it was indeed discovered that some people secretly failed to pay the two-part fee. Yan Kun came to ask him how to deal with it, but Li Ye only told him to be serious.

Don't let him solicit customers near the Tingyu Tower, and if he dares to come to see him, beat him once, as long as he can't be beaten to death, the officials in the Wangfu's mansion and Kaiyuanfu will turn a blind eye unless they have the ability to get He Zhao here.

Since then, it has been considered peaceful over there. Driven by the new dishes and the fame of "The Wind and Rain on November [-]th", coupled with the monthly poetry reviews, and various psychological hints carefully designed by Li Ye, Tingyulou is now very popular. If it's too bad, it looks like it will secure its reputation as the hottest restaurant in Beijing.

Baihuahua's money flows to the palace every month, and after deducting various costs and expenses, the net profit can be six to seven hundred taels.

And the share from the coachman and bearer was unexpectedly large, more than 300 taels!

As a result, the palace now receives about a thousand taels of silver every month, and Yan Yan is overjoyed, and encourages him to spend a huge sum of 5000 taels to buy the queen mother a birthday gift, in order to please the queen mother, but Li Ye scolded him severely a meal.

Pig brain, I don't even know what he is thinking, take out almost all the savings of the palace to give gifts?Fortunately, he figured it out, Li Ye had his own plan.

Everyone was busy, Li Ye curiously asked He Qian who was playing chess with Yue'er: "Why did you run out again, does your father care about you?"

"He doesn't have time to care about me." The little girl replied absent-mindedly.

"Busy about Kaiyuan Mansion's business?"

The little girl shook her head: "No, for some reason these days, he asked people to look for stones everywhere, and they wanted different kinds of stones, big and small, pointed ones, light and heavy ones, all piled up in the yard. As soon as I got home, I stared at the stone in a daze, not knowing what my father was going to do."

Li Ye almost couldn't hold back his laughter, what a crime, he doesn't know how to study stones, is he crazy?
At this moment, Gu Feng ran out out of breath to find him, and shouted from a long distance: "My son, my son! The food is delivered! The food is delivered!"

After Li Ye heard it clearly, he also became excited: "Qiu'er, you can watch for me here, and I will go and have a look." He said and left.

"Wait for me, I'm going too!" He Qian also hurriedly followed after hearing the novelty.

Gu Feng walked excitedly and explained the situation to Li Ye. Li Ye sent a servant to call Yan Shen to the winery, and they arrived soon.

At this time, the tile vat in the corner has been moved to the center of the room, the braziers at the four corners are still burning, the quilt has been removed, but the cover is still covered, and when the cover is lifted, a pungent smell of alcohol immediately hits the face .

The grain inside also became extremely soft and glutinous, with white liquid flowing out. Li Ye was overjoyed, it looked like it was fully fermented!
"My lord, start cooking the bar!" Gu Feng said excitedly.

Li Ye patted him on the shoulder: "What are you cooking for?" Yan Shen just came and brought two nurses with him.

"Move these wine and rice to the backyard, and find two people to clean the wine cages, hurry up!" Li Ye ordered happily.

"Huh? Don't cook." Gu Feng was a little confused. He worked so hard to distribute food, so why not cook wine now.
Soon, the wine cage in the small courtyard had been cleaned, and Li Ye put water on the bottom pot, and then covered it with a bamboo isolation layer.

The water in the bottom pot is used to protect the pot from being burned. At that time, the whole wine cage, the bottom pot and the sky pot will form a closed system. convert.

What should be used is the principle that the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water to allow alcohol to evaporate first from the grain, liquefy first, then condense first, and separate first.

The fermented grains are put into the wine cage one by one. The wine cage is so big that it can hold three to four hundred catties at a time. When the wine cage is almost full, the grain is gone.

While Li Ye asked people to prepare yellow mud and clean ceramic jars, he placed the wine tank and sealed the surrounding area with yellow mud.

Then put Qiu'er and Yue'er on the top of the wine cage to sew. The outside is thick gauze, and the inside is filled with an air-insulating pad filled with moist soil. Finally, put the Tianpan and set up the water tank.

The sink connected to the Tianguo started to discharge water, and water was flowing in and out at the same time. Li Ye cut a small hole in the side of the Tianguo and set up the sink. When the water level reaches a certain level, it will flow out automatically.

The Tianguo set is a water-cooling system, and it is also the original temperature sensor, which is also used to control the unmeasurable temperature.

Li Ye explained to the servant who guarded the stove: "If the sky pot does not flow out, it means that the fire is hot. The temperature is too high and the water evaporates too fast. At this time, you should return some firewood to make the fire smaller. If the sky pot It means that the firepower is not enough, you can add firewood to make the fire stronger, understand?"

The servant nodded half-understanding, and he could see that he was nervous.

Of course, the confession belongs to the confession. For the first time, he must personally supervise, but he must also let others learn, because he will not be able to do it himself this time in the future.

Seeing that it was so complicated and inexplicable, He Qian also became excited, looked around and pulled his sleeve and asked what the hell was going on?

Li Ye didn't have time to tell her. After everything was ready, he excitedly ordered the servant by the stove: "Light the fire."
