Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 464 Who Are You? (1)
When the news came, everyone from the emperor to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty rejoiced!
This year, the 18th year of Taiping, the Great Zhou Dynasty washed away the shame left by the previous dynasty and regained the old land of the ancestors!

This year, Liu Qiao was 19 years old, and Yi Zhiyun left for ten years!
The Xiangjiang River is the second largest river in Dazhou. Compared with the Ganges River, which often floods, the Xiangjiang River is much gentler. It quietly nourishes the people along its banks, and it never dries up even during severe droughts.

Pengzhou is located in the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River. The people here have taken the best grains from the Xiangjiang River to make fine wines since ancient times. In the Zhou Dynasty, it became a famous wine town.

In Pengzhou, you can see large and small wineries everywhere, the most famous of which are the three major wineries - Wen's Winery, Zhangjia Winery and Lu's Winery.

Wen's Distillery and Zhang's Distillery are time-honored brands in Pengzhou, while Lu's Distillery only started to settle in Pengzhou four years ago. In such a short period of time, Lu's Distillery can become one of the three major distilleries and It's not how strong its backing is, but more than 20 years ago, Lu's Distillery was the number one distillery in Pengzhou.

Today, one of the founders of Lu's Distillery has half of the Lu's blood on his body, and is the grandson of the famous wine god Lu Yuan back then.

Of course, relying solely on the name of Lu Yuan cannot reach such a high level. Although the current Lu's Distillery has not recovered from the prosperity when Lu Yuan was still there, the wines produced have inherited the essence of Lu's. At the Pengzhou Liquor Industry Conference held every three years a year ago, Lu's wines defeated Wen's Winery and Zhang's Winery in one fell swoop, thus establishing Lu's Winery's position in Pengzhou.

Pengzhou is not big, but it is composed of six counties, and Jiangcheng County is one of them. In Jiangcheng County, the most famous one is naturally Lujia Village, because this is where Lu's Distillery is located.

The brewing workshop of Lu's Distillery is not located in the county town, but in the village.

Most of the guys inside are from Lujia Village.

Lujia Village is also very close to the county seat, but it takes less than half an hour's walk to get there. If you take a car, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour. It is extremely convenient for both personnel and transportation.

And Jiangcheng County is adjacent to the Xiangjiang River, so it is extremely convenient to go north or south from the pier in Jiangcheng County.

The weather at the beginning of August was still extremely hot, and it had only rained heavily in the past two days, but it still couldn't relieve the stuffy heat. There was an independent small building in the northeast corner of Lu's Distillery, which was the accountant of the distillery. And the place where the steward rests temporarily.

However, in the past few days, this place has become the residence of the owner of Lu's Distillery.

There are two major owners of Lu's Distillery, one is Lu Yuan's grandson Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu only holds [-]% of the shares, most of the shares are in the hands of another person.

This person is the big boss Liu Qiao.

And Liuqiao's name has also become famous in the south in recent years. She is the owner of a gourmet shop that produces novelty snacks. It is said that she is also Xiao Yu's savior and the sister-in-law of his righteous brother.

Also, she is a widow, only 19 years old this year.

The gourmet shop, Lu's wine shop, and the young widow are enough to make Liu Qiao the focus of many people's attention, but she is very low-key and rarely appears in front of people.

Even though Lu's Distillery has settled in Jiangcheng County for many years, she has never shown her face until a few days ago when she came to inspect the distillery.

Inside the small building

Xiao Yu personally poured a cup of tea for the quiet girl in front of her, "What do you think, sister-in-law?"

"Achieving such a scale in a few years, Ah Yu, you really put your heart into it." Liu Qiao said with a smile, "However, I still say the same thing, don't be in a hurry."

Xiao Yu sat down, "It's good that my sister-in-law can still remember this sentence."

Liu Qiao paused while drinking tea, then looked up at him, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"Wars and droughts have not stopped the expansion of the gourmet shop. In just four years, the gourmet shop has not only gone out of Qinzhou and become famous in the north, but now it is going to enter the south." Xiao Yu put away her smile, "Sister-in-law, I know You are impatient, and you know that you feel uncomfortable, but if you are so eager to expand, it will be fine if you just lose money, but if you are not careful, you will..."

"Ah Yu." Liu Qiao interrupted him, his eyelids drooping slightly, "I have my own measure."

Xiao Yu looked at her, with worry and distress in his eyes, "Sister-in-law, if Brother Yi's spirit in heaven would not want you to be like this! Moreover, the crown prince made great achievements in the northern war, a prince who has military merits and won the hearts of the army and the people, isn't he So easily replaced by others!"

"Although the food shop is expanding rapidly, it is not unstable. I am also very careful in dealing with people in various places." Liu Qiao said slowly, "Ah Yu, don't worry, I will be fine."

Xiao Yu looked at her, "Lu's Distillery has begun to gain a firm foothold in the Dazhou wine industry. At the wine industry conference two years ago, Lu's fine wines have already received attention from all sides, and we can try it next. Compete for the place of Royal Wine."

"Royal wine is selected every three years, and now there is still more than a year before the next selection of royal wine. Although Lu's Winery can't say that it has a sure chance of winning, it can indeed give it a try." Liu Qiao followed Xiao Yu's words and changed the subject. "But in this way, everything about Lu's Distillery will be spread out in front of those dignitaries in the capital, Ah Yu, so your identity..."

"The day Lu's Distillery settled in Lujia Village, there are some things that cannot be kept secret." Xiao Yu said with a calm expression, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will take care of this matter."

Liu Qiao looked at the young man in front of him who was no longer as young as before, and nodded, "You have grown up too, my sister-in-law believes that you can handle it well, but, Ah Yu, maybe you don't want to listen to these words, but your father has grown up all these years I really care about you too."

"Sister-in-law said that." Xiao Yu laughed, "What am I growing up? Did sister-in-law forget how much older I am than you?"

Seeing that he deliberately avoided what she said behind her, Liu Qiao sighed inwardly, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with being older than me? No matter how old I am, I'm still your sister-in-law!"

"Yes."

Liu Qiao looked at him, "Ah Yu, back then I was not able to resolve the hatred in your brother Yi's heart, so... I don't want you to follow in his footsteps, and your father is not so hateful that you will take revenge at all costs." !"

"Sister-in-law." Xiao Yu suppressed her smile, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will take good care of myself!"

Liu Qiao pondered for a while, but didn't continue this topic. The man in front of him was no longer the kid he was back then. He understood many things, even if she wanted to, she might not be able to manage it, "You just need to be modest."

"Sister-in-law is going to stay here for a few days?" Xiao Yu changed the subject, "Although Pengzhou is small, there are many interesting places, how about I go for a walk with sister-in-law?"

"You should just concentrate on reading your book!" Liu Qiao said, "I'm here because I don't want you to be distracted!"
