He waited until there were a few who could catch Mr. Guan's eyes, and then sent all the gifts and jobs to Ouyang Kang. He was not stingy and said directly to Mr. Guan, "You pick whatever you like first."

Guan Yaozu didn't choose, and let Pei Yaoqing do it, "Take whatever you want, being polite means not giving face to senior brother."

Recently, many people have been looking for Mr. Guan. His popularity index with the outside world has been high, and his popularity index at home has also remained high. In the past, most of the people who came to his door were looking for the three elders of the Guan family. Nowadays, more and more people are trying their best to find Mr. Guan.

around.

There is no need to elaborate on the beauty of this. In short, Mr. Guan is very happy, so happy that he regards money as dirt, and is willing to be a good economic man even if he pays back.

It's just that little Pei Lianhua was deeply moved again. How kind his senior brother was to him. He never forgot anything good about him. However, he was very measured in his conduct and could only choose some of the Four Treasures of the Study. When Ouyang Kang asked little Pei Lianhua to

The servant took the remaining things back and was so happy that he couldn't even see the blessing.

It can be said that Mr. Su Da's shocking paintings certainly brought his reputation to a higher level, but reputation cannot be used as a living. The person who really benefited the most was Ouyang Kang.

Mr. Guan was very generous with whatever he liked, and the gifts he gave were very generous. Mu Caimin kept the ones he liked, played with the expensive ones, and handed them all to Ouyang Kang to keep. This guy was more precious than her.

He knows how to cherish things, and letting him keep the valuables makes her feel more at ease than leaving them in his own hands.

"If one or two people come to ask you to frame them every month, it will be a better business than me!"

That's it. Young Master Ouyang nodded solemnly, feeling very embarrassed himself. Men, after all, you still need to have an economic status and a strong back to be stronger.

However, he did not hesitate to praise Nianfu, "Your mushrooms are also very good, and many people have come to inquire about them. But Uncle Du told me not to sell them out, but to cook them at home."

It’s a great gift to make as a special dish or as a gift to relatives and friends in the future.”

That's it. Nianfu felt a little regretful when she heard it, but when she looked at the gift in her hand, she felt it didn't matter.

Ouyang Kang's friends are all rich people. Although others will not embezzle anything from them, they must keep face in their dealings, and they must not be too stingy. Look at these gold beads and jade stones given by others. Do you have the nerve to just be a cabbage and a carrot?

There must be something that can be used.

The cost of mushrooms is low, and they are easy to prepare. But they are really rare, especially this year. How much money can the whole family and Du Chuan save by taking these mushrooms out?

Thinking of this, she smiled happily again. "Do you think we are giving him mushrooms and giving him Qiong Yao in return?"

The children downstairs had just started learning the Book of Songs. She listened to it all day long, and she also received a lot of influence again, and learned a lot of "great wisdom" from it.

But Ouyang Kang looked at her like a little profiteer and slapped her rudely, "It's insulting to gentle people! It's time for you to practice your calligraphy. Look at those few strokes that you haven't mastered yet. Even Luo Wu didn't

Better than you!"

Nianfu pinched him back angrily, "That's because you didn't teach me well!"

Then keep teaching!

Mr. Ouyang was waiting for this. After arresting the person, he started writing. He touched his little hands openly and openly. Don't feel too good!

But when Su Cheng heard about it later, he actually sneered, "You should be in harmony with the outside, and you are trying to raise your own status. All you are playing with is what I have left, and that's how it works!"

Du Chuan glared at him, "Your students don't play with what you have left, but you are happy to play with other people's? After all, A'kang is a boy. He will have to support his family in the future. How can he always rely on A'Fu? I think this is good.

, as long as he doesn’t delay his homework, you are not allowed to mess around in front of him. He is young and thin-skinned, so at least give him some face."

Su Cheng disagreed and said, "Face is always earned by oneself, not left by others. To be my disciple, Su Cheng, you have to learn when to pick up face and when to throw it away completely. It's okay to be thin-skinned.

It will become thicker after grinding it. By the way, I asked you to get him a sword, have you got it yet? If that pretty boy doesn't learn some self-defense skills quickly, he will be bullied again, which will still embarrass me."

"Not yet. I went to ask today, and they said it was only for later generations. But Lao Wu said that a visitor from the Western Regions came to the city just now and brought some good swords. I asked you if you are interested in taking a look."

Su Cheng smiled coquettishly, "Then do you want me to go and take a look?"

Du Chuan smiled, "This year your apprentice and Ah Fu are coming to pay tribute to the New Year's goods, and with Wu Mian's charcoal subsidy, the family can save some money. Go and have a look, you can make your own decisions if it's less than one thousand taels."

, come and call me if you go up further."

Su Cheng immediately put on an affectionate look, "You are still the best to me."

Du Chuan couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, cursed "glib", and went about his own business.

Business is good during the New Year, and although their winery's output is limited, they still have to make more than usual during the New Year, otherwise they won't even be able to drink enough for themselves.

When we arrived at the shop, the young man came up to me and said, "Boss, boss, here comes a military man who wants to order a thousand catties of wine. I said I didn't have any, but he didn't believe me and refused to leave."

Du Chuan hurried over and saw that the soldier looked very majestic and did not look like an ordinary soldier. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Please don't be offended, sir. Our small shop really can't handle a thousand kilograms."

Yes, even if I make it reluctantly, it won’t be to my liking, so I don’t dare to fool people.”

The soldier frowned and said, "I think there are so many wine jars in your store, which are enough for a thousand kilograms. Why don't you sell them to me? Are you afraid that I won't pay you?"

He took out a large number of banknotes from his arms and said, "Take a good look, this is the most famous time-honored store in the capital. If you pay on sight, you will never miss a penny!"

Du Chuan did not reach out to take the money, but just smiled apologetically, "The total amount of wine here is one thousand kilograms, but many of them are not available in time, and some of them have been ordered long ago. We take out the most every day.

There are only two tanks of wine, and they will be gone when they are sold out. If you want one or two hundred catties, I can still scrape together. If there is more, there is nothing you can do."

"Then I don't care!" The soldier was used to being rude and slapped the banknote on the table. "I came to your house specially on the order of our general to buy a thousand kilograms of wine. One kilogram less.

Neither can do either. Never mind that you are

How to do it? Anyway, try to get me a thousand kilograms. I have already paid the money and I will come to get the wine in ten days. You can do it as you like, but you are not allowed to mix it with water. The taste must be good. If you disobey the military order, you will be punished immediately.

Behead without mercy!"

Du Chuan was anxious, grabbed the bank note and wanted to send it back, but the soldier jumped on his horse and ran away without giving him a chance to speak. Isn't this a forced purchase? Besides, it only took ten days, and even a god couldn't make it.

So much wine?

The young boy asked in fear. "Boss, what should we do? If we can't brew it, will the military master really bring people to chop off our heads?"

Du Chuan thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't you hear what people said? As long as you don't add water, the taste will be fine. I'll write a list. You can take people to buy these kinds of wine and come back. I've taught you how to taste wine.

Yes. Pick the good and the bad, don’t let others trick you.”

The boy agreed and left quickly.

While Du Chuan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start work, he sent someone to call Nian Fu.

Not knowing what happened here, Ouyang Kang also rushed over in a panic, "Uncle Du, what happened?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just that a military commander wants a lot of wine and is in a hurry. I want Afu to help me. Girl, can you make wine?"

"Yes." Nianfu nodded fiercely, like a chicken pecking at rice, "I'm really good at making the sweet and sour rice wine I drink in summer!"

Du Chuan looked at her and smiled, "That means no. But it doesn't matter. I heard from your master that you are pretty good at watching fire, right?"

That is a must and an absolute strength!

Nian Fu was very confident, "I don't want to say too much, but I can still see the fire in my eyes."

Du Chuan smiled and didn't say anything. He just took her into a room, pointed at a huge wine barrel hanging in the air and asked her, "I want you and I to work shifts. Watch out for such a big one."

Wine barrels, until one thousand kilograms of wine are brewed, I won't be able to have a good rest for about three days and three nights, can you do it?"

Ah! Nianfu opened his mouth in shock. This bucket is the size of an ordinary small room. How spectacular would it be if it were set on fire?

"Don't worry, she can do it!" Before Nianfu expressed his position, Ouyang Kang expressed his determination for her, "You will be here to help these days. Leave the Qianqiu Banquet to me first."

Anyway, Zhengfu has decided to make tofu. The only question now is what kind of tofu to make. Young Master Ouyang doesn't know how to cook, but he can help her think about how to make this dish.

So poor Nianfu was abandoned like this, and Ouyang Kang went to Zhu Silin to ask for leave for her.

Hearing that she was going to help Du Chuan make a fire, and that it would probably burn for three days and three nights, Master Zhu didn't feel bad at all, but shouted, "Uncle Du, please don't be polite. I just want her to try it."

With the control of various fire levels, I won’t be afraid when I encounter problems in the future. Forget it, I’ll go there in person and let her keep an eye on her alone. That girl is a top, so she can’t do it without being whipped. She is still young anyway,

It’s not like us old people, who can stay up for a few days and be fine.”

I thought I was ruthless, but I didn't expect that Jiang is more ruthless when he is old.

Young Master Ouyang wanted to force his family to study for blessings and make progress, but he felt distressed if he pushed too hard. He said seriously, "After all, she is inexperienced. If I let her watch the whole process, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. This time, it's better."

Let Uncle Du take it better."

That's true. At least I managed to persuade Zhu Silin, so praying for blessings won't be so hard.

However, when the waiter dragged the whole truck of wine back, tasted it one by one through Du Chuan, mixed it according to the proportion, poured it into the oversized wine barrel, and lit the fire, Nianfu was still shocked by the scene.

Have you ever seen an entire house burning in front of you? Du's steamed wine is similar to that.

Now, she finally understood why the Du family's wine was called "spicy to death" because it was already a preliminarily distilled liquor. But it was not fully distilled, so it was just spicy in the mouth, which was still somewhat different from the high-purity liquors of later generations.

So, Nianfu couldn't help but asked, "Uncle Du, since we are making steamed wine, why not make pure steamed wine?"

Du Chuan was stunned, "Pure steamed wine?"

"Yes, if a large barrel like this is added with a very simple drainage device to drain out the steamed wine, wouldn't it be pure steamed wine? When you drink it, you don't have to go through the trouble of sifting the wine every time."

Du Chuan was a little shocked, this girl dared to think!

"But do you know how much puree that would require? How expensive would it be?"

Hmm... Looking back, wine is indeed a luxury product. In later generations, when making liquor, they still insisted on brewing and steaming it with grains, only two or three kittens, and they were all sold at a huge price.

Considering the reality of the current society, should we give up? Nianfu feels it is a pity.

"Anyway, we have to do so much this time, why not give it a try." Su Cheng came over after hearing the news and was very interested in the pure steamed wine. His drinking capacity is not as good as Du Chuan's, but he likes to try new things, and this one is the best.

, "I would like to see what pure steamed wine without sieving tastes like."

Seeing Nian Fu's regretful expression, Ouyang Kang also came to help fight for it, "Uncle Du, let's not do too much first, just try a little."

Okay. Du Chuan told everyone and was eager to try it. According to Nian Fu, he made a small diverter device on the lid of the wine barrel so that the alcohol odor can slowly drip out, and placed a jar underneath to catch it.
