Chapter 15 Roadside Encounter
The Zhao family’s workshop is very small, but very tidy.
It is suffocated and smells filled with fragrance for a long time.
It can be seen that Zhao Hong is very attentive. His words and deeds in daily life also reveal his pride for the skill passed down from his ancestors.
There were a few large jars in the yard. When Zhao Hongniang heard someone coming, she thought it was Zhao Hong who had come back, so she came out wearing an apron.
"Why did you come back so late? Go and make a fire and prepare for dinner."
Seeing that there was a boy behind him, Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Mom, this is our new manager."
Zhao Hongniang quickly brought the seat and held it uneasyly, a little restrained.
Chen Shou smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the wine tank and let your mother go and do it."
Zhao Hong held up the duck blood vermicelli soup and a few cooked cakes and handed them to his mother, "I don't have to cook tonight, just eat this, it's our manager who invited me."
Zhao Hongniang thanked him quickly, greeted him a few times before going to the house for dinner.
Distillation is actually not a strange thing. During the Western Han Dynasty, bronze distillers appeared to extract alcohol. However, the technology was very backward and the subsequent development was not rapid.
The alcohol content during the Qin and Han dynasties was about 3%. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, some famous wines had reached 10%. However, most of them were still turbid wine, and the predecessor of the white wine, the soju, had not appeared yet.
Chen Shou walked around the workshop and after Zhao Hong's explanation, he roughly learned about the process of brewing wine.
As long as you add your own distillation equipment, you can definitely make soju. At that time, you need to invite a few literary masters to promote it. Making momentum is just around the corner.
After leaving Zhao Hong's house, it was already late, and it was not close to Qin Feng Camp.
Chen Shou looked at the sun gradually setting in the sky, and was still worried that it was dark and it was difficult to travel, and he heard a familiar donkey cry from a distance.
Chen Fu drove a donkey cart and came to pick him up excitedly, with a few children in the car.
In the past few days, there has been another war on the front line. The Uighurs in Lingzhou rebelled and fought with the Qiang people. The General's Mansion of the West took advantage of the opportunity to capture Yinzhou.
With the great victory in Yinzhou and the best-selling perfume, the pressure on the General's Mansion suddenly decreased, and everyone was in high spirits.
However, this battle was very fierce, and many elite soldiers were lost, and of course there were more orphans.
Some of them were unattended and were sent to Qinfengying, who was only three or five years old.
Their dark pupils dodge and before they could recognize the world, they were already alone without father or mother.
Chen Shou asked the deputy in the camp to write down and arrange a few beds to live in Qinfeng camp like himself.
During the day, there were also people from the General's Mansion who came to Qinfeng Camp to select young men over 16 to fight on the front line.
Chen Shou asked someone to buy some wine and meat and send them away. Looking at the backs of those people, Chen Shou inexplicably remembered a sentence:
Don’t laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war since ancient times?
The war is really cruel, especially in the northwest, where the two sides have become enemies and they will never stop if they meet.
If a hero comes out of nowhere, he can intimidate all the barbarians and end this chaotic world, it will be a great thing!
Unfortunately, the court today has long since disappeared from the great talent of Taizu of Qi, and most of the borders adopt a defensive stance, just wanting to enjoy wealth.
"Second Uncle!"
When Chen Fu saw his second uncle, he waved his whip and shouted, "This kid is much stronger than when he came out, mainly because of his food and drink."
Not to mention him, even Chen Shou has become much stronger.
He was originally a farmer, and he had no alcohol and sex to emptie his body. Chen Shou's foundation was not bad, but he was a little bit pale in his face.
After being severely damaged by Mrs. Su, her face turned as white as paper and is now slowly recovering.
Chen Shou waved and got on the car. It was mid-spring now. The wind was blowing in the willows along the way, and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating.
"Chen Shou!"
A slightly surprised voice sounded, and Chen Shou turned his head and saw a row of knights by the river.
The one who took the lead was a girl wearing armor, heroic and unparalleled in beauty. She was Li Lingyue, the second lady of the General's Mansion.
Behind her, there was a carved bow, and there were a few small beasts hanging on the horse's belly, and blood was still dripping.
So wild...
Chen Shou sighed inwardly, he had to be careful not to offend her.
"It turned out to be the second lady, I have met the second lady."
"What are you doing?"
The donkey cart was carrying a few dolls, which was in sharp contrast with the others. Chen Shou was not ashamed and said openly: "This is a new recruit from my Qinfeng Camp. I will take them out for a tour today."
The generals of the General's Mansion behind Li Lingyue burst into laughter immediately.
Li Ling waved her hand and laughter stopped abruptly. She pursed her hair on her temples. She sweated from her earlobes because of her hunting. The wind looked like a unique charm to the girl in the deep boudoir.
Chen Shou stood in front of the donkey cart and was a little stunned for a moment.
Li Lingyue looked at his dazed eyes and felt a little proud, but the surrounding generals had long stopped doing it. "Bold, believe it or not to dig out your eyes."
Chen Shou took his expression in his eyes and chuckled, "We Qin Fengying are willing to escort the lady back home."
The generals did not hide their contempt at all, and they really treated themselves as their camp. Only these three-year-old children...
But Li Lingyue nodded unexpectedly, which caught these generals off guard.
The blood-red sunset dyed the straight official road red and the faces of the two people red.
Chen Shou said a few more things about the mask, which made the second lady very moved because she rode horses and hunted all day long, and her skin was not as delicate as her sister. This was what the second lady was most worried about, so she liked the effect that Chen Shou mentioned the most.
“When can I do it well?”
"It's going to take three or five days. Then we will join hands to sell it. If you are the boss, I will work, how about making a lot of money?"
"Make money?" Li Lingyue looked a little surprised, "What are you doing to make money? What's the use? Why do you need to make money?"
These soul questions made Chen Shou so hard that he cursed the big family in his heart, not knowing the suffering of the people.
"You think, it's so glorious after making money. You can also be proud of your face in the mansion. Everyone will say that the second lady is talented and everything is ready for a moment."
Chen Shou was very tempted and shone Li Lingyue's eyes, but hesitated, "If everyone has what they use, then I can't show it... Well, it doesn't matter to others, and I must not sell it to my sister!"
Chen Shou was speechless. What kind of plastic sisterhood is this? He lowered his voice and said, "I will make a special one for you, which is ten times better than theirs."
"That's about the same."
