Villager of Daming

Chapter 165 A Punch of Wheat Beer (Fifth Change)
"It's still hot after dog days, and it's even more stuffy today. It looks like it's going to rain."

The head of the village led everyone to the Four Treasures of the Study shop on the opposite side. The storefront was the same width as the grocery store.

After entering, the area behind is empty, without other buildings, but the area is larger than that of a grocery store.

"It turned out that there were pillars, but they removed them, and there were traces of filling soil left on the ground."

Xiaocao knew that he could see the opposite side by guarding the shop.

Many things were removed inside, including screens, slates, wood, table cases...

All that was left was a row of empty houses in front, and the paper on the windows was intact without any damage.

"Sure enough, it is King Qin's shop. Even if it sells the Four Treasures of the Study, it is so spacious, deep and long. Here..."

"Since you know it's King Qin's shop, why do you dare to come to Xiaqiu Village? Do you think it's okay if you have someone to support you?"

Everyone was facing the open space, when a voice suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned around, only to see a young man about Hanhan's age standing there, with a group of people behind him armed with knives, their clothes were similar to those in the Prince's Mansion.

"Qin, um! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian reminded.

"His Royal Highness King Qin? Zhu Yichang, a grassroots man, pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Qin." The chief realized instantly, and took the lead to kneel down.

"Cao Min pays homage to His Highness King Qin." The others knelt, including Hanhan.

Zhu Xijian, who was full of sorrow and resentment, fell to his knees and suddenly didn't know what to do.

He knew what kind of village Xiaqiu Village was like, and he knew even more that there were tall people in the village.

Including the fact that the money I get every month has increased, and it is also because of the method provided by Xiaqiu Village that the palace can make money.

There are also good meals, all learned from Guanglu Temple from Xiaqiu Village, soap and mirrors used, and frogs that can be wound...

He didn't dare to kill anyone, and the house was not bought by the other party. His brother bought it for Xiaqiu Village, including the more expensive pawn shop.

Both sides remained motionless for a while, kneeling and looking up at Zhu Xi, waiting.

"Get up, get up! Alas!" Zhu Xi raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Qin." The chief stood up first, and the others stood up after speaking, and no one patted the dirt on their trouser legs.

"Well... my brother gave you the store, what are you doing with it?"

Zhu Xi looked at the head of the village, and felt that the original Four Treasures of the Study shop had always been good, and now all the things were stored elsewhere.

Li Zhang's eyes lit up, that's great, before he was thinking about how to find King Qin, but now the other party jumped out on his own initiative, saving a lot of trouble.

"Xiaqiu Village wants to use the hands of His Highness King Qin to benefit the people of Daming. This is not possible without His Highness King Qin."

The head of the village said what Hanhanjiao said, and this was the preparation before.

Zhu Xi: "..."

He was at a loss, what does it have to do with him?Aren't you guys on good terms with your brother?Go find your brother!
"Your Highness, do you know what will happen if there is continuous rain when harvesting wheat?" asked the chief of the village.

"What else? Wheat germinates. If you don't find a place to dry it, it will get moldy. The germinated wheat is not good for grinding."

Zhu Xi is still familiar with this. There is a vegetable garden opened by his father in the palace. To plant it himself, he has to be familiar with many crops.

"Your Highness, do you know that germinated wheat can be used to make maltose? In addition, Xiaqiu Village has newly brewed a wine, which can be made of barley or wheat.

That kind of wine consumes less food, and it is not easy to get drunk after drinking.oh!If you drink too much and get drunk, the village happened to bring it, so it's better for His Royal Highness King Qin to taste it on the opposite side. "

The village head issued an invitation, Hanhan made beer, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait so long to come to Nanjing.

"This..." Zhu Xi hesitated, he was not afraid that Xiaqiu Village would poison him, he was worried that his father and elder brother would know that he was looking for him.

"Your Highness, there is one very important thing to make this beer, and this thing is available in the fields. If we make a large amount of beer, the people can harvest it and sell it to us. They get money, and we get something."

The head of the village continued to say that it is very important, in fact, it is the same to find anyone, but Hanhan said that he wanted to help King Qin.

"Wine, I want money, let's go, hehehehe!" At the critical moment, Hanhan made a move, and directly stepped forward to grab Zhu Xi's arm.

"嘡啷啷~" There was a sound of drawing a knife.

"It's okay, this is Hanhan, the guardian of Xiaqiu Village." Zhu Xi waved his other hand.

The guards are just pretending, who in the palace doesn't know about this situation?His Majesty praised it, and followed suit.

So Zhu Xi was taken to the opposite shop by Hanhan's arms. The children brought snacks, dried fruits and tea, and the person in charge of cooking prepared dinner.

'Boom~~ka~~rumble...' It was sunny before, but black clouds piled up almost in the blink of an eye, followed by lightning and thunder.

Bean-sized raindrops slammed down, and splashes of water splashed on the ground. When the wind blew, a mist of water swept across.

It was getting dark, people were running around on the street, and some shops closed their doors and windows immediately when the rain came in.

The window of Danqing shop is closed, but the door is open, so you can see the rain outside, and at the same time it doesn't look stuffy.

For dinner, everyone eats hot pot and boiled mutton. It is good to eat mutton today to dehumidify and remove moisture.

The people in Xiaqiu Village were divided into four tables, two tables for Zhu Xi's guards, and one table for himself.

When he saw the situation, he couldn't bear it anymore, how busy are you guys, and I'm alone?

"Zhu Lichang, let's go to your table." Zhu Xi made a request, got up and went over with his plate and chopsticks.

"Your Highness is wronged, Your Highness, this is beer, a catty of wheat can brew a lot of beer, more than white wine and rice wine.

Regardless of barley, wheat, or highland barley, they can all be used to brew beer if they are germinated and not moldy.

There is also humulus, which can be added to beer with its fruit ears to improve the taste. In fact, hops are better, and we don’t have them right now.

Humulus and its fruit ears are medicinal materials, and the lala seedlings on the roadside will mature one after another in half a month, and they can be picked by the common people.

Humulus itself is also green fodder, which can be fed to horses, cattle and sheep, including rabbits, and there is no need to plant it deliberately. "

The head of the village said that he picked up the bowl and took a big sip of beer first, and the other villagers, except for the very young children, followed suit.

Zhu Xi smelled it first, but he had never smelled it before, so he took a small sip and tapped his mouth. It was the first time he felt the texture and taste.

He took a gulp, and then uh~~ hiccupped, the gas in the beer rushed to the back of his mouth and nose, and he felt very refreshed.

"Your Highness, when the beer is transported from the village, it is sealed and stored. After opening, the gas will escape and it will not taste good. If you put it too much, it will break.

If there is any wheat that has germinated and not moldy in Daming, you can buy it at normal wheat prices, so that the people farming will reduce their losses.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy every day, and His Royal Highness King Qin is willing to take on this important task.

There are nearly 50 people in Nanjing today, and once beer is produced, the supply will inevitably exceed demand.

The profit obtained is first added to five, and after the [-] crowns of His Royal Highness are returned, Xiaqiu Village will ask for [-]% of the profit, and His Royal Highness will share the rest with the palace. "

The head of the village continued to introduce, and by the way, informed the future sales prospects.

Isn't this money owed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?Finding something to pay off the debt, and not continuing to sell soap and rock candy, it seems that Xiaqiu Village has no ability.

　Today is gone, thank you brothers and sisters for your support, thank you!Farmhouse bowed!
