Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 136 Tasting fine wine
Those pear trees are even more gratifying. The closer the fragrant pears are to ripening, the more delicious they are. In previous years, Liu Tao would have liked the fragrant pears to be a tribute. But this year, the eunuchs who came to ship the grapes would recommend this , Liu Tao is not very enthusiastic.However, these are not her final decision, and the Xiangmian pear has become a tribute pear.

Now it is Lao Jin who leads most of the private troops to sit in Yawei Port, and Ji Yanchen manages the dock affairs. There are already more than 30 houses on the shore of the dock, six warehouses have been relocated, and there are no more than a dozen houses on Xianglu Island. The valuables were gone, and the personnel sealed off those houses and evacuated them, leaving only two people to guard them, and even Yazui Port had only two people left to guard them.

At the beginning, a large courtyard planned by Jin Yan has been completed. Three of the six sub-yards are workshops, including small food production, leather clothing, shoes and hats, and fruit wine production.

Liutao plans, since she moved here, her own products should also be updated and upgraded, because it is next to the sea and guarding the port.Due to the low price of seafood, you can buy squid, sea bream, cod and horse noodles..., make shredded squid, grilled fish fillets, and make seafood-flavored rice crackers.

Sea shrimps include prawns, hemp shrimps, and red rice shrimps. People can catch a large number of them in shallow water on the beach without going out to sea.At that time, the Yantian will be owned by the Jin family, and the beach will of course be owned by the Jin family. If a large amount of fish is caught, it can be made into delicious and crispy shrimp, which tastes much better than the dried shrimp produced in fresh water.

The other three courtyards in the compound are dedicated to living in, one is reserved for herself and her family, and the newly built villa-style small building by Liu Taojin is reserved for the wedding room of the two, which is a proper sea view room, which is golden The Western-style villa designed by Yang himself is much more beautiful than the Xihualou in the Jin Mansion.The other is reserved for the treasurer and staff of the wharf warehouse. Lu Run and Maggie have also moved in at that time. They live in the front yard next to the wharf and are ready to handle port affairs at any time.

The stall in Liangshan Port was left to his deputy manager. If the profit was meager under Ruizong's pressure, he would transfer it out if necessary, so that even the private army base could be moved to Yawei Port.

By the first ten days of September, the inside and outside of the compound were basically completed. Lu Runmaji also came from Liangshan Port to live in the front yard, and took over the management of Jinfu Wharf in Yawei Port, waiting for the owner to move in.As for the Liangshan port wharf, there was only one wharf bought later for the temporary turnover of Jinfu ships and cargo, and Lu Run asked his deputy Fang Hongjian to manage it.

Those women who were rescued from Xianglu Island found their favorite husbands in Yawei Port one after another, and some of them became the heads of merchants.There are quite a few couples with the soldiers of Xiaoyan Kingdom, and a few with the craftsmen who built houses. Even the bachelor Gong Boss also found a beautiful wife who is nine years younger than him.

He also met the chef surnamed Lin who was rescued by him on Shark Island. According to him, when he returned home, Tianxing's wife and daughter were still waiting for him to come back.Since the family had savings in the past, it didn't bother me.It's just that the small restaurant that he opened in partnership with others was snatched away by his younger brother half of the property rights that belonged to his sister-in-law, and he squandered it afterwards. He still looks like a rascal until now.When he was not at home, this younger brother came to extort money from his sister-in-law from time to time, and even coveted his face to let his sister-in-law pass it on to him...

This time when he went home, he heard that his benefactor, Jin Yan, was rebuilding the port in Yawei Harbor. In order to stay away from that rascal, and to repay his benefactor, he sold the house and brought his wife and daughter to work for Jin's mansion... .

It is said that Su Huan, Queen of the Xiaoyan Kingdom, after obtaining the good governance policies passed down to her by Jin Yang, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles for Jin Yang, she said that these good methods were obtained in the Great Yan Kingdom. A total of 4 troops in the country were all mobilized.Of the original [-] people, less than half were guarding the capital, and more than half were stationed on the left bank of the Hun River, which borders the Great Yan State, in case the Great Yan State army crossed the river to harass them.Now that his father, Su Qing, is the wolf lord of the Great Yan Kingdom, there is no point in stationing these soldiers here.

He left the army with 5000 men to guard the capital, and the remaining 5000 men formed a small team of 50 men. Seven hundred soldiers brought their own supplies and tents to the pastoral areas to help the herdsmen build livestock sheds.According to the calculation of three or four hundred sheep in a shed, the sheds are built with stones or logs. Stones and logs are not lacking in Xiaoyan.

A team of 50 people went to the herdsmen's house separately. Some of them measured the foundation of the cattle and sheep sheds and estimated the stone and wood used. And the wood is almost ready.Then everyone worked together to cover the cattle and sheep enclosure in two days.

They have a team of 50 people and build a shed every three days, that is to say, they build [-] new sheds in Xiaoyan every three days.With this construction speed, by the time winter comes, basically every herdsman will have one.

Those officers should not be idle, they are busy measuring the grasslands for the big herdsmen, redistribute the pastures to the herdsmen who have no land to graze, and at the same time give appropriate compensation to the herdsmen who take out the extra pastures.The sickles that came in from the Raksha Kingdom were also distributed to each family one by one and registered in the register.In winter, these troops received new instructions to repair water conservancy for farmers.

Su Huan, father and daughter, met irregularly to exchange their experience in governing the country, and they really felt the benefits of the agricultural and animal husbandry development methods provided by Jin Li.After Jin Yang sent the sickles to Xiaoyan Country, a large number of sickles were also sent to Dayan Country and Qinglang Country respectively. Several large haystacks.

Now, Su Xiaoge and Huang Ying often live in the Blue Wolf Country. By the way, they assist the wolf lord's uncle to manage the country as the prime minister. The purchase of skins for the Jin Mansion is left to the subordinates to manage.Their skins were no longer sent to Jinfu, but directly sent to Yawei Port, which made the distance much shorter.

Jin Yang solemnly told him: "Pay close attention to the movement of the army of the Dazhang Kingdom, and at the same time strengthen the management of the army, because Ruizong already has the idea of ​​annexing the Qinglang Kingdom, and the Dazhang Kingdom will attack the Qinglang Kingdom at some point... . . . "

At the end of September, Captain Jinxing's ship carried the hides that Jinfu had processed from Heishan Port, and came to Jinfu Wharf again.He complained to Jin Hao: "Jin, the taxes in your country are getting higher and higher, and the profits of our maritime merchants are getting less and less. If things go on like this, our ships will have to reduce the number of times they travel to and from the ports of the country... . . . "

Jin Yan told him in a low voice that the Jin Mansion was going to relocate Xiaoyan Country, and asked him to listen to Lu Run's message in the future. Once the Jin Mansion moved the last few properties, including the Liangshan Port Wharf, they would come again. Don't use the big port of the country anymore.The taxes of Yawei Port and Yanchi Port are very low, less than half of that of Daqingguo's port, and there is no reason to come to Daqianguo again. The captain's heart brightened when he spoke.

Jin Yan and Liu Tao set up a banquet for the evening in Liu Xi's restaurant, and invited Captain Jin Xing and his crew, because the dinner time was approaching in the evening, and there were so many guests, so they could only be entertained after the dinner time. .

In view of the fact that the captain and the crew have been to many countries and are well-informed, Liu Tao specially brought two bottles of wine and four bottles of fig wine for them to taste, because she did not know whether such fruit wine would be acceptable to the Raksha people.

The transparent glass has already amazed them. The wine bottle is stopped by an oak cork. Jin Li has not had time to make a corkscrew. Thanks to the long exposed part of the cork, he can only bite it with his teeth The cork was turned a few times, and the cork was pulled out with a sound of "Peng".

The pale pink wine was poured into the glass, and even the captain admired the color of the wine. He took a sip and shook his head immediately.

"Captain, are you dissatisfied with the wine? Tell me how it tastes?" Liu Tao asked disappointedly.

"Waka, ma'am, I'm not satisfied with it, I'm so satisfied, this wine, this glass, are all things used by the royal family..." The captain praised in his crappy Raksha language .

Not only was he satisfied, even his crew members who had drunk wine from different countries gave their thumbs up after tasting it.They also asked about glass bottles and glasses, and how much a bottle of wine or fig wine cost, and they all said: "Don't talk about such a good wine. That’s a lot of money!”

In fact, asking about the price is a no-brainer. Liu Tao didn't make a lot of wine this year. In addition to the 30 jars custom-made for the royal family, there are [-] jars of wine, more than [-] jars of fig wine, and a few jars of pomegranate wine.In order not to be too embarrassing when meeting Ruizong, the fig wine was going to give some to the royal bottling as a gift, and there was no takeaway at all.However, it is still possible to give two bottles to the captain and one bottle to each crew member.

When they drank the fig wine, they praised it even more vigorously. Judging from their expressions, they were sincere, and the two of them had strong confidence in their fruit wine.

When they were full, some went to the guest room to rest, and some went to the night market. At this time, there were not so many customers in the restaurant.At this time, Zhao Yue, Zhao Xing and Dong Qing and Dong Li came to find the two masters.They came to seek advice from the two bosses. A problem had troubled the four of them for many days, and it was hard to talk about it to others.When they told the reason, Liu Tao almost spit out the tea in her mouth, and Jin Li also burst out laughing.

It turned out that Zhao Yue fell in love with Dong Qing at first, and then Zhao Xing fell in love with Dong Li. It doesn't matter that they are brothers, but Dong Qing and Dong Li are aunts and nephews. When the two brothers married aunts and nephews, they were suspected of incest up.

They all felt embarrassed, and they were even less willing to disclose this matter to others, but the young master was something they could trust, and they knew a lot, even if the marriage failed, they would not laugh at them, but would keep them a secret.

"What's the matter, why don't you just talk to yourself?" Liu Tao said with a smile after thinking for a while.

"That's right, the two of you are usually brothers, and the two of them are usually aunts and nephews." Jin Yan pulled Zhao Xing and pointed at Dong Qing and said, "From now on, she will be your sister-in-law."

Pulling it over again, Zhao Yue pointed at Dong Li: "He will be your younger brother and sister from now on."

Liu Tao also said: "After giving birth to their own children, the children are still brothers and sisters. Between your two families, except for the blood relatives, there is no horizontal relationship between close relatives. How can it be considered incest? It can be regarded as kissing and kissing!" The four of them suddenly realized that the problem that had troubled them for many days was solved, and the four of them happily bid farewell to them and went downstairs.
