At noon, Jishitang’s backyard.

While Zhang Xuanqing was talking to Liu Shenwei, Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were also attracted by the conversation between the two. Seeing Zhang Xuanqing's still placed at the door, he couldn't help but be amazed.

I saw that the thing Zhang Xuanqing bought was stainless steel, all in silver, shining in the sun, making people dizzy.

Sun Simiao and others didn't know what stainless steel was. They just felt that although this thing looked strange: two "iron buckets" one big and one small, they were connected together by an "iron stick" in the middle, and there was a small glass-like mirror on it, with several strange symbols engraved inside and a red iron piece, but they still subconsciously thought it was a treasure.

When Liu Shenwei was asked about it, he knew that he and Zhang Xuanqing asked for it, Sun Simiao couldn't help but scold him.

Liu Shenwei was much more scolded by his master and did not take it at all. He just pulled Zhang Xuanqing to ask how to use this thing.

When he asked, as long as he had wine in it and fired it underneath, he could "distillate". And the strange little Liuli with strange symbols engraved underneath was actually a "thermometer" and "barometer". He couldn't understand anyway, so he simply ignored it and ran to the street to buy wine.

In fact, it’s not just Liu Shenwei who doesn’t understand, but Zhang Xuanqing only knows a rough idea. In his mind, there is no need to understand this thing too well, just use it and use it.

Because Sun Simiao was also curious about this thing, when Liu Shenwei bought wine, he simply closed the clinic and closed the business for an afternoon.

As did Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng's disciples, they didn't care about eating. They gathered around the distiller and tinkered with Liu Shenwei.

Disassembly, add wine, assemble, make fire...

After a while, the yard was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

I saw that the place called "the wine droplet" by Zhang Xuanqing slowly dripped out of crystal liquid, and its color was light green, but because the wine bought by Liu Shenwei was new wine.

In ancient times, wine brewing was all about grain, fruit, and newly brewed wine. Before it was filtered, the wine surface would have slightly green lemon residue, so it was called "green ants".

Green ant fresh wine, red mud stove.

Seeing drops of light green and crystal-clear wine beads slipping down and dripping into the porcelain that had been prepared long ago, Liu Shenwei looked extremely excited.

Finally, you can make money!

After wandering around the distiller for a while, his heart moved slightly, and pointed at the distilled wine nervously and expectantly, and turned around and asked, "Uncle Master, can I try it?"

Zhang Xuanqing stood behind Liu Shenwei with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Yes, drink as long as you want."

When Liu Shenwei heard this, he didn't think much about it. He took a small cup, scooped it up, put it on his nose and smelled it, showing an intoxicating look, and raised his head and poured all the wine down.

"How is it?" Zhang Xuanqing chuckled and asked with a little expectation.

After Liu Shenwei drank, a flush suddenly rose on his face, his eyes were blurred, and he was drunk: "What...good wine..."

Zhang Xuanqing yelled again: "Drinking more good wine, this is your first time brewing wine, drink more, drink more."

"Yeah...Yeah...drink more..." Liu Shenwei's eyes were blurred. Hearing this, he subconsciously did it. He scooped a cup in the porcelain jar, but he didn't even smell it, so he raised his head and poured it down.

Gudong--

As soon as he finished drinking a glass of wine, Liu Shenwei could no longer stand firmly, lay on the ground, and fell asleep.

Zhang Xuanqing stood aside and finally couldn't help laughing gloatingly: "Silly boy, do you know what this first glass of wine is called? Wine, wine head! This thing is at least 60 or 70 degrees, and... it's easy to get over it."

Sun Simiao: “…”

Yuan Tiangang: "..."

Li Chunfeng: "..."

Although they didn't know what sixty or seventy degrees meant, it was obvious that Liu Shenwei was cheated by Zhang Xuanqing again.

Hey, why do you say it again here?

...

The next day, when Liu Shenwei saw Zhang Xuanqing again, his eyes were full of resentment.

Zhang Xuanqing said that he was already kind enough. If it weren't for Liu Shenwei, he wouldn't have been so unlucky in modern time and space, so he simply turned a blind eye to Liu Shenwei's resentful little eyes.

After yesterday afternoon, the distilled wine has been extracted, about fifty kilograms.

Therefore, Liu Shenwei didn't have long resentment, so he took him to Zuixianlou with him.

However, after noon, Liu Shenwei returned from Zuixianlou. What he brought back was not only Jiangui Qian from Zuixianlou, but also one more... Zheng Fatty.

"Dabo greets Master Zhang and Master Sun. After many days of separation, the two masters remain the same. They are really envious." As soon as he entered the door, Fatty Zheng rushed in front of Manager Qian and greeted Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao.

Manager Qian thrust his face and followed behind, asking for courtesy: "Qian has met two Taoist priests..."

Since Zhang Xuanqing became famous in Huayuan County, Jishitang, which is already well-known, has also risen with the flow. No one in the county dares to disrespect Zhang Xuanqing and Sun Simiao.

Zhang Xuanqing still remembers Fatty Zheng. First, the other party’s name was too weird, his surname was Shu Shu and his courtesy name was Dabo, and he was called Uncle Zheng. Second, the first meal he had in this world was invited by the other party, so he quickly returned the courtesy: "Please sit down, two of you." After that, he cast a questioning look at Liu Shenwei.

Didn’t I say that I went to Zuixianlou to hire shopkeeper Qian? Why did I bring Fatty Zheng back?

Fatty Zheng had a bright mind, and before Liu Shenwei could speak, he could see the clues and said first: "Master Zhang, the child's illness is cured thanks to you. Today, Zheng came, one was to thank the Taoist priest, and the other was to have a wine in Zuixianlou today. He heard that the Taoist priest created a winemaking tool. It happened that there was a winemaking workshop under Zheng's name, and he came to see it and wanted to talk about cooperation with the Taoist priest." As he said that, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and served it with respect.

Zhang Xuanqing knew in his heart that thanking himself is the second purpose, which is the most important thing.

Fatty Zheng's son's illness has been cured by Sun Simiao, and he has been thanked for it once. I will thank you again today. That's nonsense.

Looking at the paper in Fatty Zheng's hand, his mind turned slightly and he had already guessed what it was. Just as he was about to speak, Manager Qian was not willing to fall behind, so he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Master Zhang, you must be clear about the purpose of the villain. Thanks to you, you are willing to cooperate with my Zuixianlou. Moreover, the reason why I Zuixianlou is now full of friends is also due to your honor. Therefore, Qian specially prepared some small gifts, and I hope the Taoist priest will not refuse..."

While the two were talking, two teams of people carrying things into Jishitang, put them down, and divided them into two groups, standing behind Fatty Zheng and Manager Qian.

I saw those things half-covered, faintly showing the silk, satin, and ancient poetry and books. In this way, the paper in the hands of Fatty Zheng and Manager Qian was already obvious, which was the gift list!

In ancient times, gifts were also very particular. Unlike now, when you just take the things and hand them over to the owner, this was a very impolite act to put them in the ancient times.

For example, when celebrating birthdays, modern people are more accustomed to celebrating birthdays. Regardless of age or age, they like to invite a few friends and hold a birthday party. Unlike in ancient times, only the elderly would "celebrating their birthdays" during the whole year.

In modern times, friends who come to the hosts are inevitably given gifts on their birthdays. They usually hand over the things directly to the hosts, and some even dismantle them on the spot.

How can I say this kind of behavior..., it will definitely bring ridicule to ancient times.

Let’s talk about gifts first. In ancient times, if you handed the gift directly to the host, then you would be disrespectful to the host. The host would say in his heart: Do you think I am a beggar? I lack this thing for you? I will definitely not accept it, and maybe I will have a bad time.

Besides, when you opened the gifts given by others on the spot in ancient times, some people would say in their hearts: How poor this person is, how poor and lacks this little thing, and they can’t even wait, and so on.

Therefore, in ancient times, when gifts were given, they were kept in boxes or covered with things. They would not be handed over to the owner directly, but instead prepared a gift list. Moreover, the owner would not pick up the gift list by himself. If there were servants, they would ask the servants to pick up the gift list, and if there were servants or if there were servants, they would never take care of the juniors.

This is a kind of etiquette and a kind of politeness.

Therefore, looking at the two gift lists on the hands of Fatty Zheng and Manager Qian, Zhang Xuanqing did not move, but signaled Liu Shenwei to take it, and thanked him with his fists: "It's a waste for you..."

He did not refuse, after all, this was just an ordinary exchange of courtesy, not corruption and bribery. If he did not accept it or refused, he would inevitably be suspected of looking down on the other party.

Well... this is not an ancient ritual, this is what Zhang Xuanqing himself thinks.

After all, what are gifts equivalent to?

Money!

If someone gives money, will he refuse?

What a joke!

Fatty Zheng and Shopkeeper Sun were invited to sit in the back hall, and Li Chunfeng took the gift-giving team to the backyard to place the gifts, and then ordered Liu Shenwei to prepare tea. Zhang Xuanqing discussed cooperation with the two.

"Master Zhang, you can choose our Zuixian Tower, which shows your trust in us..." As soon as you sat down, Manager Qian couldn't wait to speak up and fight for sovereignty.

On the contrary, Fatty Zheng drank tea slowly and even looked at the tea with thoughts.

After Manager Qian finished speaking, he put down the teacup and clasped his fists at Zhang Xuanqing: "Master Zhang, you also know that my purpose is the same as Manager Qian. However, after drinking your tea, I had another idea. I wonder if the boss can agree."

"Oh?" Zhang Xuanqing raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and a little surprised.

Because he is not used to drinking tea cakes with salt and ingredients in this world, now Jishitang's tea has been replaced by him with fried tea from later generations, and it is relatively good.

He spent money faster before, and there was also part of the reason.

Unexpectedly, although Fatty Zheng was fat, his heart was so smart that he only drank it once, and felt the difference, and he directly put his ideas on the tea.
Chapter completed!
