Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 21: Yu Xi Brewing


   After Li Zexuan chatted with Han Lizheng in the house for a while, he saw Han Yuxi and Tie Dan walking in with food.

  "Master, miss, father, we have dinner."

   Han Yuxi placed the dishes on a very old but clean square table, and smiled and called everyone to eat.

  "Master, miss, hurry up and sit down and eat." Han Li was greeted quickly.

   "Well, Uncle Han, you are welcome, you sit too, girl Han, you have worked hard to cook, sit with Tiedan and eat together." Li Zexuan said.

   Han Yuxi hesitated, but Tiedan was so happy. He had already salivated the pheasant on the table and the nibble chicken Li Zexuan brought over. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and saw the golden crispy nibble. The chicken is even more uncontrollable.

   Just now, he tried to stretch out his hand to steal food several times in the kitchen, but his sister found him and drove him out of the kitchen. Now he heard Li Zexuan asked him to come up to eat together, no matter where he could bear it, he had to raise his foot When he walked over, Han Li was staring at him severely, and he immediately retracted his feet in fright.

  "Master, you and the young lady will eat first. There is still food in the kitchen, and the iron egg and the little girl will eat in the kitchen."

  Han Lizheng also wanted to let his son and daughter have a good meal together, but the Li family has a great favor to Hanjiazhuang. This time the young master and the young lady can come to his house for dinner. He is also very happy and asked his daughter to treat him The pheasant that I called to sell yesterday was stewed to entertain the distinguished guests. You can't be rude at this time.

  "How can this work? When we come to Uncle Han’s house for dinner, it would have been a lot of nuisance. You don’t charge us for the meal. Uncle Han is so distracting at this time. If girl Han and Tiedan don’t come to eat together, this meal We will not eat the food." Li Zexuan firmly disagreed.

   Just now, he saw the iron egg drooling on the table, and he couldn't help but sympathize with the people of this era. They might not be able to eat meat during the New Year.

  His Li Zexuan's ability is indeed limited, and there is no way for the people of the world to live a good life, but it is still possible for the Tiedan family to eat a good meal. There is another reason. It is indeed a great enjoyment to be able to eat at the same table with Han Yuxi, who is so beautiful and delicious. Of course, for this reason, our honest Li Zexuan will not admit it.

   Han Lizheng was helpless, so he nodded to his son and daughter and said: "Since the young master is kind, come and eat together."

   Tiedan cheered, and immediately sat down in the empty seat beside Lan'er. Han Yuxi smiled gratefully at Li Zexuan, and sat next to Han Lizheng, who happened to be opposite Li Zexuan. She was not greedy, but she also hoped to let the younger brother eat meat.

   A group of people just sat down and started a meal.

  At this time, Han Li suddenly patted his head, as if thinking of something, stood up and said:

  "I haven’t got the wine for the young master yet, young master, there is no good wine in this country, but the mountain fruit wine made by my family Yuxi tastes quite good, I will show it to the young master."

   Before Li Zexuan refused, he ran into the back room to fetch the wine.

   Li Zexuan originally wanted to refuse. He didn’t drink. Later, when I heard that it was just fruit wine, and it was made by Han Yuxi himself, he hesitated. Seeing that Han Li was going in for the wine before he could speak, it would be hard to say anything. , But there are some expectations in my heart.

   After a while, Han Li came out holding a wine jar and said to Li Zexuan, "Master, this is the mountain fruit wine made by my family Yuxi. It is made from wild strawberries and hawthorn from the mountain. It is not my boasting. , The taste is really good. Every year this wine is bought in Chang'an City, it is bought at a high price by Yunxilou for ten cents."

  , while talking, poured a bowl for Li Zexuan.

   "Father, Tiedan wants to drink too." Tiedan licked his mouth and looked at Han Lizheng eagerly. Obviously he must have drunk it before, and he still loves it.

   Han Li glared at his son angrily, Li Zexuan quickly said: "Uncle Han, since Tiedan wants to drink, let him drink it. We can't finish drinking so much."

   Yes, this guy thought that Han Lizheng was holding such a big bottle of wine for his party. In fact, Han Lizheng also knew that Li Zexuan could not finish drinking such a big bottle of wine. He planned to take the rest to the city. Sell ​​it here. But when he heard Li Zexuan say this, he was even more difficult to explain, so he poured a bowl for his sons and daughters, and said: "Since the young master said so, Yuxi and Tiedan will also accompany the young master to drink and drink at noon."

   Tie Dan was very happy. I didn't expect the young master from this city to be so talkative. He was much more modest than the former son of Liu Dizhu's house. He was very grateful to Li Zexuan at the moment. How did he know that Li Zexuan was interesting to his sister.

   Li Zexuan looked at the fruit wine in the bowl. The color was bright red. It was very beautiful. With a light sniff, there was no alcohol smell. Then he was relieved. He took the wine and took a sip. The mouth is sweet and sour, with the sourness of hawthorn. The sweetness of the strawberry is much better than the fruit juice of later generations. After all, the material of this fruit wine is pure and natural without pollution. Li Zexuan smashed his lips, exclaimed:

  "The Korean girl's winemaking skills are really superb. The taste of this wine is really great. This fruit wine is a great bargain for me to say that a jin of Yunxilou for ten cents is a great deal."

   Lan'er also took a bite and couldn't stop it anymore. This sweet and sour taste is fatal to children. Hearing his brother talking, he quickly agreed:

   "Yeah, my brother is right. Sister Yuxi, you are so amazing. This fruit wine is delicious. Lan'er has never had such a delicious fruit wine when she grew up."

   Li Zexuan is a bit funny, this little girl is only more than six years old, and she is embarrassed to say that she has grown up so much.

   Han Yuxi said shyly and modestly: "Miss Young Master passed the award. In fact, this wine is very simple. These materials are originally some worthless things on the mountain. It is already very content to sell for ten cents and a pound of Yuxi."

   Li Zexuan shook his head. He had an idea. A little modification of this mountain fruit wine will surely sell well in summer. He said to Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, do you know the Zuixianlou in Chang'an West City?" /

   Han Li nodded: "Yes, Han had been to the West Market yesterday. I saw that Zuixianlou had a very good business, and there was a long line in front of the door. Han didn’t know what they were lining up to buy. ."

   Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Don’t hide from Uncle Han, that Zuixianlou is my family’s property. The people who lined up in front of Zuixianlou yesterday were just to buy the chicken, uh..." /

  , Li Zexuan pointed to the plate with the gnawed chicken, and saw that there were only a few pieces of chicken left on the plate. It turned out that the iron egg saw the adults talking and happily. He couldn't stop after tasting a piece of the golden gnawing chicken. Taking advantage of the time when a few people were talking, this kid was developing wretchedly and ate a lot. Eat it.

   Han Lizheng was furious in an instant: "Iron egg, you bastard!"

   I'm going to get up and hit someone.

   Li Zexuan hurriedly stopped Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, don’t be impulsive, this gnawed chicken is not a valuable thing. There is still a lot of iron eggs in my family. I eat iron eggs and eat them. Today, everyone is so happy to eat together. , Don't be angry."

   Li Zexuan persuaded Han Lizheng for a long time.

  Han Li was sitting down and staring at Tie Dan. Tie Dan just saw his father get angry and was about to kick his feet. Seeing that Li Zexuan had persuaded him to stop him, he was not willing to run. He was a little embarrassed. Whispered: "Thank you, Master."

   Lan'er watched quite interestingly from the side, and said to Tiedan: "Brother Tiedan, what do you want to eat, you call me sister, I will give you a clip, your father will not attack you."

  Lan'er, such a beautiful and lovely girl, talked to herself, and Tiedan blushed shyly in an instant, and said: "Miss Lan'er, you may not be bigger than Tiedan, right?"

   Laner sandwiched a piece of gnawed chicken, and stared at the iron egg: "Huh?"

   shook the gnawed chicken in his hand and threatened.

   Iron Egg looked at the gnawed chicken and swallowed. He had never eaten such a delicious chicken before, and he struggled for a long time before shouting with a bitter face: "Sister Laner!"

   Laner responded with a smile: "Well, brother Tiedan."

   said, putting all the gnawed chickens into the iron egg bowl.

   Tie Dan looked at the gnawing chicken in the bowl, and said in his heart: "This sister is worth it."

  , Li Zexuan continued to tell Han Lizheng no matter what the little sister was doing, "Uncle Han, you have also seen that the business of Zuixianlou is very hot. You will sell fruit wine to Zuixianlou. You can buy at the price of jin, how much do you have, how much we want, you can also start the farmer in the village, go up the mountain to help you pick wild fruits, you look at giving them some rewards, after all, the number of picking by Han girl is limited, and there are thousands in the mountains. Whenever there is a beast, Miss Han is not safe alone, what do you think?"

   Han Yuxi heard Li Zexuan's faint concern for her, and she was a little happy for some reason, and she lowered her head to eat without talking.

   Han Li was hearing Li Zexuan's 30 wen per catty, and his breathing was a little short, but after a while he still sensibly refused:

  "No, how can you do business like the young master, the young master will lose money. We will sell the wine to the young master in the future, but we still only sell ten cents a catty. Our Hanjiazhuang people can’t be so kind Things ~ IndoMTL.com~ Alas, why the people of this year are so simple, Li Zexuan said: "Uncle Han, listen to me, since I dare to buy 30 yuan a catty, I will definitely not lose money, or even make a lot of money. As long as Uncle Han sees me earning so much, don't regret it. "

   Li Zexuan said half-jokingly.

  Han Lizheng blushed anxiously when he heard the words, stood up and said: "Master, how could my old Han be the kind of villain who is treachery and rebellious."

   Li Zexuan saw him doing this, and quickly calmed down: "Uncle Han is not anxious, my nephew is joking with you, I know that Uncle Han is a man of trust and righteousness. Uncle Han, there is a reason why I paid 30 yuan per catty for the acquisition. Yes, you think you have to hire a farmer to help the Korean girl pick wild fruits without paying the wages. This is all the cost. This happens to increase the income of the farmer in Hanjiazhuang."

  Han Lizheng heard the words, and then he thought about what Li Zexuan meant. As Lizheng, he naturally knew that the people of Hanjiazhuang had a hard time, although they were much better than those of other villagers.

   But he also wanted to make the farmers' lives better. Li Zexuan's proposal made him very tempted. After pondering for a long time, he said to Li Zexuan: "Since the young master has given us a way to survive in Hanjiazhuang, the old man, I I’ll take the place of Quanzhuang, thank you, Master."

   After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Li Zexuan.

   Li Zexuan hurriedly came over to help him, so that he would not be polite. Han Lizheng added at this time: "However, if the young master loses money in the future, the purchase price will automatically be reduced to ten cents per catty, and the wages will also be reduced when the time comes. When the people in the Zhuangzi come, I will be responsible for persuading the people in the village. You will not agree, young master. This one, let this business go. I, Han, would rather starve to death than cheat the young master."

   Li Zexuan had no choice but to agree, this Han Lizheng was really straightforward.
