Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 228

Xiaoxiang finished her work and returned home.At this time, Xu Xiaomi was sitting at the table with everyone eating, and saw it holding a small red betel nut in its hand.

Asked: "Where have you been? You haven't seen it everywhere? Put down the things in your hands and have dinner together!"

Xiaoxiang smiled and said, "I'm going to punish the bad guys for the master!"

Xu Xiaomi smiled and said, "You! Sit down and eat quickly! There are so many bad guys! You know what to say, come on!"

While Xu Xiaomi was talking, he also blinked Xiaoxiang's eyes inadvertently.

Xiaoxiang sat next to Xu Xiaomi and said, "Okay! Eat!"

After everyone finished eating and walked out, Xu Xiaomi put her head close to Xiaoxiang and asked, "What's going on?"

Only then did Xiaoxiang tell Xu Xiaomi what happened. After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi said lightly, "You handled this matter well! In the future, if something like this happens, you should do it this way and let them know what the price is! "

Xu Xiaomi doesn't have time to take care of these trivial matters now. If she wants to be free, she has to wait until Hongxia and the others have mastered the heat of the roast wine, the time and degree of fermentation.

They were brewing wine in Qinglong Town, and it was in full swing.In Xujia Village, Qingfeng and the others are also proceeding smoothly with their house repairs.

However, the Siweizhai restaurant in the capital is not so clean.

The day before yesterday, Xu Xiaomi asked Xiaoxiang to send the first batch of well-raised liquor.The wine didn't need to be promoted at all, Langfeng took the wine jar from Xiaoxiang and put it on the counter.

Someone came and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Lang Feng said: "This is a fine wine brewed by my master. It is sweet and delicious, but it is strong enough, so don't drink too much!"

The person who asked said shamelessly: "What kind of wine? It sounds so nice? Is there still some alcohol brought back from Persia?"

Langfeng didn't talk to him too much, he reached out and took away the cloth bag that was pressed on the mouth of the jar.Immediately, the aroma of the wine wafted to the tip of the guest's nose. He smelled the aroma of the wine, and sniffed vigorously again.

Said: "Yeah! Good wine! It's really good wine! Bring me a jar, I have invited the third son of the Mu family and the fourth son of the Lu family today!"

Lang Feng smiled and said: "Guest officer! My master said that this wine can only be drunk less, too much will hurt your health!"

The customer was dissatisfied and said, "What? You mean, sir, I want to buy it, but you still refuse to sell it?"

Langfeng still said calmly: "Master! The people who opened our shop, how could they not do business?
The villain just reminds you that if you want to buy it, I will sell it to you, but the wine costs three taels of silver per jug, and this jar needs to hold about twenty jugs.Therefore, you have to pay 60 taels of silver for this jar. "

When the man heard the price, he jumped up violently: "What? This jar of wine costs 60 taels of silver? Are you trying to steal it?"

Lang Feng looked at a man in his thirties who was wearing a sky blue brocade and a jade crown, with a disheveled face, two hanging eyebrows, a pair of inverted triangular eyes, a flat nose bridge and thick lips.

He said with a smile: "What is the guest officer talking about? Ours is the selling price. You can sell it if you want to sell it. If you don't sell it, we won't force it. Bidian does business in good faith, and there is no deception!"

The man looked at Langfeng with a golden light in his eyes, but in the end, he still took out a 100 tael bank note and said, "Put it here for now, and we'll talk about it later when we're done eating and paying the bill."

Lang Feng was not polite to him either, he reached out to take the bank note and said, "You pay for the wine first, and then pay for the food, and I will give you the rest of the money first!"

After finishing speaking, Langfeng took out four ten taels of silver bills from the drawer and handed them to the man.

The man held the wine jar in one hand, took the bank note from Langfeng in the other hand, held the wine jar in his arms and walked upstairs.

At this time, there were no empty seats upstairs and downstairs in Siwei Zhai.

The man took the wine upstairs and poured a glass for each of the distinguished guests he was talking about.

At this time, the aroma of wine slowly overflowed the private room, and with the air, the whole Siweizhai was filled with the aroma of wine.

At this time, the guests sitting there asked the buddy what was going on, and where did the fragrance come from?
The men told the guests, saying: "This is the new corn wine brewed by our master!"

When the guests heard this, they all readily said that they would serve a pot. This time, the guys were exhausted.

Running upstairs and downstairs, after all the guests have served wine on the table, the guys are already tired and sweating profusely.

After a short rest here, the first group of guests who called for wine began to add wine for the second time.

In this way, the wine that Xiaoxiang sent to the capital for the first time was sold out within a day.

When Xu Xiaomi received the letter from Feige from the capital, she was so happy that she wanted to jump up.It's a pity that she has no one to share this happiness now, so she can only hug Xiaoxiang and jump happily in the room a few times.

She immediately filled the wine with a large jar, filled more than a dozen jars and sent Xiaoxiang to the capital with her overnight.

In just over a month, now Xu Xiaomi's house in Xujia Village has been built.

She also invited the original masons who repaired the wine workshop to go to Xujia Village to build a bigger wine workshop there.

In Qinglong Town, Hongxia and the others have been familiar with the brewing process after more than a month of contact.

Therefore, Xu Xiaomi can now go to Xujia Village for technical guidance with confidence and boldness.

She recruited Amao and the others, because people from several nearby towns have heard the news that they have all come to Qinglong Town to sell wine in the past few days.

Although the price of wine is set very high, but now that the emperor has reduced the national tax to a minimum, many people have some spare silver and can afford this wine.

So, despite the high price of wine, business has been better than expected.

Xu Xiaomi asked Xiaoxiang to tell her relatives in Dingzhou about these things, but Zhou Xuewu and Xu Erqiang were happy for a few days.

On the day of Lidong, Xu Xiaomi's winery in Xujia Village was officially completed.

She asked Xiaoxiang to go to Dingzhou and bring back all her relatives.

Xiaoxiang went to talk to Tong Gang, the guard in Dingzhou, and while borrowing dozens of fast horses there, she also borrowed a dozen or so good drivers from him.

More than ten days later, Xu Erqiang and Zhou Yuqing took their son Xu Hao, their youngest daughter Xu Xiaoting, their parents Zhou Xuewu and Huang Shi, and Xu Xiaomi's four uncles and aunts, cousins, and the Wei family back to Xu home village.

Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting came back this time, because they have experienced too many things this year, and both of them have become more mature.

As soon as they arrived at Xujia Village, they jumped out of the carriage, and saw their elder sister standing at the vermilion gate, dressed in emerald green brocade and thin jacket, welcoming them.

The two ran to her sister, the tall one put her arms around Xu Xiaomi's shoulders, and the short one hugged Xu Xiaomi's waist. The three siblings hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

When they came back this time, they saw that the Xu family's house was even bigger, and they were very satisfied with Xu Xiaomi's hard work for more than half a year.During the construction, Xu Xiaomi asked the plasterers to turn the foundations of the two houses into a large courtyard.

However, there are still people living in a place as big as before.The other half is used as a winemaking workshop.

As early as a month ago, Xu Xiaomi had someone clear out the old house of the Wei family in Jinquan County, and rebuilt the house for them according to the original appearance.

Now, the Wei family can go back to Jinquan County to do the medicine business.

Father Wei and Mrs. Wei were so excited that they shed turbid tears in front of Xu Xiaomi when they heard Xu Xiaomi say that the old house was built the same as the original one.

Wei Zhuang and Zhou Ruoyu also thanked Xu Xiaomi happily.

Xu Xiaomi asked Zhaoxia, Yunxia, ​​Hongxia...they cooked a sumptuous dinner for the soldiers and relatives of the Qiu family who borrowed their cars to drive!

Xu Xiaomi took out two jars of corn wine and gave them to everyone to drink. After the third round of drinking, everyone who drank became tongue-tied.

Including Xu Erqiang, who only drank one cup, drank Zhou Xuewu, and fell asleep on the table.

Xu Xiaomi took a look and found that the soldiers who were driving the cars were too tired, so they asked people to send all the drunks to the big bunk room made by Qingfeng to rest.

Ask Xu Hao and Ao Feng to send their father and grandfather to their respective rooms to rest.

The uncles who were drunk were also sent to the room reserved for them to rest.

This time, Wei Zhuang and his son, who didn't drink, were left on the table as men, and they were ashamed to stay in a place with so many women.Just go for a walk in the mountains behind to get rid of the food!

At this time, Xu Xiaomi came to her mother, Zhou Yuqing, and the mother and daughter told each other what happened after the parting.

Xu Hao and Xu Xiaoting, as well as their aunts and cousins ​​all sat and listened to their conversations. When it came to emotion, everyone’s eyes were red; when they talked about happiness, everyone laughed together.

This is affection, this is love!Xu Xiaomi thanked her father, mother, younger brother, younger sister, uncles, aunts, and cousins ​​for their trust and perseverance.

Gradually, they chatted together until late at night, and Xu Xiaomi arranged for everyone to go to bed.

The next day, before dawn, thick smoke was already rising from the chimneys of the winery.Xu Xiaomi got up with Hongxia and the others and started brewing wine.

When the strong aroma of wine filled the yard, the relatives in their sleep were all awakened by the aroma.

Everyone turned over and got up, dressed neatly, and began to brush their teeth and wash their faces.After they finished washing up, several delicious side dishes and porridge were already prepared on the table.

Everyone did it themselves, scooped up the porridge and drank it, and there was a large plate of cakes on each table.

Today, after breakfast, the coachmen borrowed from Dingzhou were about to drive their carriages back to Dingzhou. When Xu Xiaomi was making breakfast, he had someone prepare dry food for them on the road.

After eating, they bid farewell to everyone in the Xu family, but they couldn't find Xu Xiaomi.

Because, she is now busy filling wine for the soldiers in the wine cellar.Let them take it back and let other soldiers taste it.

When everyone was waving goodbye, Xu Xiaomi took Yunxia and Zixia, walked up to them with three jars of wine, and put the wine on one of the carriages.

After everyone waved goodbye for the last time, the soldiers drove the carriage and slowly left Xujia Village.
