Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Seeing this kind of reaction, Ximen Qing secretly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.Sure enough, the two father and son didn't have any enmity in the first place. Instead, they got into trouble because of the innovation of wine making, and these things came up.

But immediately the Ximen official put on a vicious face: "Keep your hand, you accused your son Liu Neng of being unfilial, selling secret recipes, and stealing fine wine, and now you are blocking this official, what is your intention?"

"Don't sue..." Leaving a few hands to grab the ground with his head, the old man burst into tears: "My lord, don't sue..."

"Huh? Then you old man, don't you want to amuse me?" Ximen Qing continued to play the black face: "False accusation will hit you with [-] boards. Whether you go back with me or your son goes back with me is up to you .”

"No!" Liu Neng suddenly came to his senses, and stepped forward on his knees: "My lord, hit me anyway!"

"No, hit me, my lord!" Leaving a few hands directly stopped his son.

The fortune teller Jiang Jing saw the truth, Ximenqing didn't want to punish Liu Jishou and Liu Neng and his son at all, but wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the enmity between the father and son and arouse their kindness.

Xiao Tianqing looked at it inexplicably, not knowing what her master had in mind, didn't he come to hire a brewer, why did he start to start a bloody drama.

"No! You two troublemakers! You will all be beaten!" Ximen Qing, the villain, shouted loudly while beckoning Jiang Jing with his eyes.

Liu Jishou and Liu Neng and his son are already hugging each other, crying together, if I had known today why bother!

The fortune teller Jiang Jing can be considered an old Jianghu, of course he knew that in this play, he was going to play the red-faced one, coughed twice, and pleaded for the father and son in a clear voice: "Ximen brother, how much do you want to keep with Liu?" Neng and his son have a very good relationship, and there is no enmity at all, presumably because of disagreements over wine making, and what happened today. As a county lieutenant, you are just right to persuade him."

Now that the play has been decided, Ximen Qing laughed loudly, and stepped forward to help Liu Neng and his father and son who were crying and hugging their heads: "Both of you get up. I am about to invite some wine masters. I think the two of you are on the way." Appropriate. Come with me if you like."

"What!" Liu Neng couldn't believe his ears, wiped away his tears and asked, "Does your lord invite us father and son to go together?"

"Of course." Ximen Qing smiled, and just stood in front of the father and son. The sun shot over, and Ximen Qing's figure seemed extremely tall. The father and son couldn't look directly at each other, so they glanced at each other and said in unison: "I'm ashamed, I'm willing to do a good job for the adults, and I will do whatever I want!"

"Very good." Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Especially Liu Neng, I am very glad that you have innovative ideas, and hope you can perform well and show your true strength."

"My lord!" Liu Neng shook his body, tears filled his eyes, and bowed down again: "My lord is like a second-born parent to me! Please accept my three respects!"

Ximenqing's promise directly touched Liu Neng's lowest level. If he could be given the opportunity to show his ability, Liu Neng would be willing to die.

Ximen Qing remained motionless, accepted the three worships calmly, and then stretched out his hand to help Liu Neng up: "The two masters, Liu Neng, will all be favorable in terms of remuneration! I have a lot of property under my name, and I will allocate a farm every day for the two of you." Cast!"

"What kind of reward do you want!" Liu Jishou sighed: "My lord can give this scoundrel a chance, it's like recreating it. My father and son will never take a single coin from your lord! As long as there is a stutter!"

Okay, this free labor is my favorite!

"Haha, congratulations to Brother Ximen for accepting two such good wine masters." The fortune teller Jiang Jing nodded and said: "When the good wine comes out, a certain family will have to comment on it!"

"Why wait, this ready-made wine is in the house!" Liu Neng recognized that Jiang Jing had been to his hotel before: "Both of you are distinguished guests, please come inside!"

"Father, come in and taste the wine your son made." Liu Neng respectfully supported his father to keep a few hands.

"Okay!" Liu smiled and said, "Taste the wine you made today, how powerful it is!"

The guests in the store were drinking and chatting and laughing, watching Liu Neng who just "get out" happily brought a group of people in, the tears on his face hadn't been wiped off, and he was holding a The inconspicuous old man, yelling from father to father.

When he was surprised, Liu Neng first arranged Ximen Qing and others to the big table in the middle, then coughed twice, and announced loudly: "Everyone! There are a lot of happy events in our store today, and the wine fee... is all free!"

The guests raised their bowls one after another, and signaled to Liu Ji: "This old man scolded me like a bastard, and he directly waived today's drink price, what a pleasure!"

Liu Neng called the waiter to bring up all kinds of appetizers, such as fat beef like flower cakes, roast lamb, roast chicken and roast goose, which made Ximen Qing's mouth water.

Finally, I can live the life of a hero in Liangshan who eats meat...

The fortune teller Jiang Jing drank so dizzy, but Ximen Qing didn't drink too much, he just cared about eating meat, watching a group of drunkards drink to death.

Next, Ximen Qing started a vigorous winemaking business!

More money means easier work!

Someone is easy to do!

site?With a big wave of his hand, Ximen Qing directly dialed a farm near Jingyanggang. The scenery is beautiful, and he praised it even after he left a few hands to see it.

personnel?All the people in the farm were left to help Liu Neng and his son, and if there were not enough people, they would be transferred from other farms.We are just a lot of people!

Raw materials?The best supplier in the market delivers goods to your door, and the price is still low. Who told us that our boss is the county captain?It's impossible not to curry favor with such a good opportunity.

Distiller's yeast?With a swipe of a pen, Zhu Zhixian opened up the supply, and it was still a priority. Who told Zhu Zhixian himself to look forward to drinking fine wine every day?

The busiest one was Jiang Jing, the fortune teller, who ran to the farm almost every day, anxiously waiting for the wine to come out. This guy claimed that he didn't smell the wine making, and couldn't sleep soundly at night.

Fortunately, within two days, Ximen Qing gave him a mysterious task to find the best blacksmith.

What do you need a blacksmith to make wine?The fortune teller Jiang Jing was very puzzled, but seeing Ximen Qing's eager eyes, Jiang Jing still readily agreed.

There are two experienced winemakers, Liu Jishou and Liu Neng, there must be no problem in production, the only thing missing is the still.Blacksmiths are used to make key components of stills.

So now that everything is settled, Ximen Qing is going to a place to get the prototype of the distiller.

That place is the Jade Emperor Temple in the west of the city. It should be said that the earliest inventor of this kind of alchemy furnace was a Taoist priest, who mainly used the volatile nature of mercury to extract mercury from cinnabar.

This principle can also be applied to wine making. Ethanol in wine is more volatile than water. This kind of distiller can be used to process low-alcohol wine, so as to obtain higher-alcohol liquor, even reaching 75 degrees for medical use.

Historically, until the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, similar stills were not used in wine making, which caused earth-shaking changes.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------

"Damn it, why are there so many people? Could it be that all the people from Qinghe County have come?" Ximen Qing originally wanted to ride a horse, and came back after going up the mountain early in the morning. He didn't expect that the horse would not be able to move when he arrived at the foot of the mountain. go forward.

From the foot of the mountain to the top, there are crowds of people bustling with each other.

"Master doesn't know, it's the ninth day today, and it's a big market." Xiao Tianqing fought hard to separate the crowd and guide the horses forward: "Not to mention Qinghe County, even the nearby Yanggu County has many people getting up early to go to the market .”

Ximen Qing simply jumped off the horse and asked Xiao Tianqing to lead the horse and wait at the foot of the mountain, and squeezed up the mountain alone.

"Master, it's true, just whip a few whips down, won't you open a way?" Xiao Tianqing looked at her master who was struggling to come forward, thinking darkly.

Even in modern times, this kind of big fair on every ninth day still exists in many towns and villages, so Ximenqing looked a little friendly, thinking of his own time, when he went to the fair with adults when he was a child.Anything delicious and fun can be bought on Daji.

The hillside where the Jade Emperor Temple is located is not high, and there are gentle slopes along the way. There are temporary pavements on both sides, and two fat people can pass side by side in the middle. Therefore, once Ximenqing squeezed up the hill, he found that the crowd was still orderly. It's flowing, barely able to walk.

But before he took two steps, he saw the crowd in front quicken their pace and gather in one direction.

"Brother, I heard that there is a beautiful woman in the tea shop in front of me, hurry up and open your eyes."

"Brother, you don't know. Brother, I went to see it just now. There were too many people, so I was squeezed out."

"Is that an exaggeration? Let's go shoulder to shoulder, we must squeeze back!"

Next to it, there were two girls who were paying for the goddess. They looked like they heard that the goddess was coming, and they wanted to squeeze forward to have a look, causing Ximen Qing to have black lines all over his face.

Sure enough, after taking two steps, the crowd was huddled not far away, and all I could see was a rather large banner above the shop swaying in the wind, which looked a little familiar.

Isn't this the same streamer that Pan Jinlian used at the door last time? Why did it hang here?It seems that Wang Po is very lazy, and she doesn't even bother to make a new one.

Could it be that Pan Jinlian is here too? !

Ximen Qing's heart twitched suddenly, and he found a high place and looked inside. Sure enough, the two busy figures inside were Wang Po and Pan Jinlian?

"Wang Po Tea House, could it be that the beauty is called Wang Po? What kind of name is that?" Just now the two girls also came to the side, craned their necks to look at it, and one of them said to himself.

"You idiot, the older one is Wang Po!" Another woman slapped him vigorously: "That beauty is called Jinlian, look at the reverse side of that banner!"

"Your official from the Ximen Gate, Jin Lian worships you?" The former lady rubbed her head and asked, "What does this mean? Who is the official from the Ximen Gate?"

"The Ximen official is the new county lieutenant." His companion obviously knew more: "He captured the killer bee as soon as he took office, and the magistrate is a celebrity in front of him. It is said that Pan Jinlian and the Ximen official have taken a fancy to each other. Eyes... It's hard for us little people, so we can only watch from a distance."

"There must be love in it!"

Ximen Qing couldn't stand it anymore, he yelled directly: "The government arrests people, don't move if you are brave enough!!!"
