Fast Travel: Being a Cannon Fodder Heroine Was Spoiled

Chapter 5
This medicine house is the place where Zhao Yanhuan and Zhao Hua'er accompanied Li Qing to collect herbs after the weather warmed up, and they initially processed the medicinal materials.

But now there are seven or eight copper stills working in the medicine hut, and a strong smell of wine permeates everywhere.

In the medicine hut, Zhao Yanhuan's uncle, Zhao Yibao, led several villagers to look at the still pot, distilling the ordinary wine with extremely low alcohol content repeatedly.

The distillation time was too long, and the medicine house was full of alcohol smell. In order to avoid getting drunk, Zhao Yibao and others wore thick masks to block the alcohol smell.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing, Zhao Yibao directly picked up a small wine jar, handed it to her, and said, "This is wine that has been distilled several times, can you see if it is the alcohol you mentioned?"

Zhao Yanhuan pulled off the lid, smelled it, the smell was offensive, and licked it, the hot tongue hurt for a long time and couldn't get over it.

He gave the wine jar to Li Qing, and Li Qing also smelled it: "I can't judge the degree, but this wine is definitely close to the quality of alcohol."

Zhao Yanhuan nodded, and said to Zhao Yibao: "I have already passed the test, thank you for your hard work, uncle, how much did you get in total?"

Zhao Yibao pointed to a row of more than a dozen wine jars standing in the corner: "Where are they all, do you think there are enough?"

Zhao Yanhuan looked at the row of wine jars that were half the height of a person, and smiled: "That's enough, next, I need to ask uncle to bring someone to make a special mark on the alcohol, make it more obscure, so that no one can see it , sent to the wine cellar."

Zhao Yibao patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry."

After leaving the medicine hut, Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing went home. On the other side, Wang Erdi, who had successfully entered Qipai Village, was still wandering around in the village.

Qipai Village does not prohibit the refugees who enter the village from moving around. When the spring starts to plant the land, Zhao Yanhuan will arrange land for these refugees who have no assets, so that the refugees can farm the land to support their families.

In addition to being the head of Qipai Village, Zhao Yanhuan is also a big landlord with a lot of land under his control, all of which were purchased by Gai Xiong.

It is with these lands in hand that Zhao Yanhuan has the confidence to take in so many refugees.

Gai Xiong was only a county magistrate from a middle-class family, but he already had such a great ability to protect Zhao Yanhuan, a commoner, and develop into a big landlord, and no one dared to pay attention.

The other bigger aristocratic families even covered the sky with their hands, they didn't even pay attention to the imperial power, and the common people in the world were nothing but ants.

When Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing returned home, they happened to catch up with Zhao Yicang running out carrying a large bag of wheat ears.

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing, Zhao Yicang happily shook the bag with wheat ears in his hand at Zhao Yanhuan, and said excitedly: "Yan Huan, I'm going to act..."

The lingering sound is still there, but the person has already run away.

Mrs. Zhuang rushed to the back and shouted: "Yicang, make your favorite roast duck at home, come back early."

Seeing Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing after shouting, Zhuang immediately said to the two of them: "It's still good for you, I just made two roast ducks, four thighs, one for each of you."

Li Qing laughed and said: "It seems that our mother and daughter are better off than Yicang."

Zhao Yanhuan and Li Qing went into the kitchen to help the Zhuang family prepare meals and dishes, thinking about Zhao Yibao who was making alcohol in the medicine house, and said: "Auntie, leave half of this dish in the pot and warm it up for uncle, so that the dish will not be cold when you come back." ,Unappetizing."

Holding the bowl, Mrs. Zhuang said, "I've already left some food for him. It's on the stove over there. Let's eat our food."

When Zhao Yanhuan was eating here, Wang Erdi had chatted with several waves of villagers in the village.

Wang Erdi felt that the villagers in Qipai Village were very enthusiastic, which may be the reason why refugees often come to the village, and even chatted with him a little familiarly.

But Wang Erdi didn't think much about it, he squatted at the door of his house and chatted a few words before leaving.

But he didn't know that just as he left, the enthusiastic man on the back was pinched severely by the woman next to him.

"Didn't Hua'er and Luan Hu tell us not to be too enthusiastic when someone inquires about the news? It looks fake."

"Look at your performance just now, wishing you could tell him all the news in one go. What if he becomes suspicious?"

The man grinned and rubbed the place where the woman pinched, and complained: "You mother, you are always so fierce, but I think the bandit is stupid, and I didn't find anything wrong."

Wang Erdi, who was said to be stupid, was strolling towards the high wall of Qipai Village at the moment, and the news was almost inquired, and it was time to go back to the cottage.

But Wang Erdi thought that he couldn't leave alone, it was too abrupt, and it was best to leave with a group of villagers from Qipai Village who were going out, which seemed natural.

Finally, when they reached the exit under the wall, they saw a group of people tearing and pulling around a young man.

The man was still holding a big burden in his hand, a group of people blocked the exit tightly, Wang Erdi was forced to watch the play.

The group of people in front of them was noisy, many people were talking at the same time, and it took a long time for the chaotic king to hear clearly what they were saying.

The crowd around the young man was accusing the young man.

"Zhao Yicang, the village chief said that the wheat seeds cannot be taken out, so you put the wheat seeds down."

"Zhao Yicang, are you worthy of the village head by doing this?"

"Catch him to the village chief, and see how the village chief will deal with him!"

Zhao Yicang hugged the burden in his arms tightly, struggling and said: "You guys are meddling in your own business!"

"I'm your village chief's fourth uncle. This wheat seed originally belonged to my family. Besides, I'm going to use it as a dowry. Even if Yan Huan found out, he wouldn't blame me, my fourth uncle, for asking you to kill rats here."

A group of people wrestled and tore apart while making noise. During the struggle, someone accidentally pulled out the baggage from Zhao Yicang's arms.

Because of the excessive force, the man fell directly to the ground, and the bundle was torn apart by the man, and the dry ears of wheat left inside were scattered all over the ground.

A few of them fell right in front of Wang Erdi, and Wang Erdi's eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the ears of wheat.

Although Wang Erdi was a bandit, before he became a bandit, he had been a farmer with his face to the loess and his back to the sky for more than 20 years.

He had never seen such a plump and long ear of wheat, and this ear of wheat was more than twice the size of ordinary wheat.

Moreover, such good ears of wheat are not just one or two ears, but the ears of wheat sprinkled from the whole bundle are so good.

Wang Erdi felt his heart beating. He had heard that Zhao Yanhuan was good at farming, but he didn't have much feeling because he didn't see the real thing.

But now that he saw the real thing, he really felt what Zhao Yanhuan represented.

At this moment, Wang Erdi was more clear than ever, and he was also more determined than ever to get Zhao Yanhuan to the Tiger Leaping Village. With Zhao Yanhuan, he and his elder brother would no longer have to worry about going hungry.
