Chapter 91
There are a lot of wild raspberries this year, and there are also a lot of fairy brews. At the beginning, Liu Yaoqing's brewing workshop only had one room, but now there are three rooms, one is dedicated to brewing wine, the other is for storing the brewed fairy brew, and the other is stuffed peaches. wine.
This place looks inconspicuous, but it is missed by the whole world.
For the sake of safety, since soybean oil was no longer pressed, Handa and the others took turns to watch the night in the brewery every night, lest someone touch the mountain and make the best brew.
Liu Yaoqing also raised their wages, and the work assigned on weekdays was also reduced a lot.
"I reckon Tao'er Niang will be ready to drink today, let's save some more." Liu Yaoqing held Brother Zhezi's hand, took out the key with one hand, and opened the front lock.
Brother Zhezi fixed the lock with his other hand, turned to look at Liu Yaoqing and smiled.
"I have to prepare some more for those who need it, and the rest can be sold. There are too many buyers, it seems that we can only draw lots." Liu Yaoqing opened the lock and walked inside.
A row of jars was placed in the corner, and the room was well ventilated, without any scent of wine.
Liu Yaoqing opened a jar, looked at it and said: "It really is good. Let's drink this today."
"What's the order for the appetizers?" Zhezi asked.
There is no shortage of pork in the big kitchen, and now there is soybean oil, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, and even rare pheasants.But Liu Yaoqing didn't think about it, he laughed and said: "Although the chicken in the shed looks small, it can still be fried."
After picking up the peaches and brewing them, Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi turned around and went to the greenhouse.
There are a few old men squatting outside, and they come to see the chickens when they are free. Seeing so many chickens grow up slowly, they are all very proud, not thin at all, and they look much better than the free-range chickens in the village.
Seeing Liu Yaoqing coming, the old man smiled and said, "Brother Qing, what do you want to do with all these chickens in your family?"
"I don't know yet." Liu Yaoqing greeted, "Today, the peaches are ready, go to my place to drink. I caught some chickens and asked my mother to fry them. Let's taste how they taste."
Hearing that he wanted to drink, the old man wanted to refuse, but he hesitated if he wanted to eat chicken.
"Go." Brother Zhezi said.
Seeing Liu Yaoqing nodding again, the old men agreed.
The chickens seemed to be clustered together in groups, which seemed invisible, but they were not.From the time the chickens were caught, Liu Yaoqing asked the people in the shed to watch the chickens every day. Those who love to eat, move, fly, and grow fast are all recorded with cloth strips of different colors tied to their legs.
The fastest-growing hens and roosters should be kept as breeders, and they will have to be taken out separately in the future, and the chickens that don't grow very fast should also be kept.What we need to catch now is chickens that don't eat much and don't grow fast. Compared with other chickens, if compared with the chickens in the village, they are also giants.
"Brother Qing is waiting by the side, I'll come." Brother Zhezi rolled up his sleeves, rubbed his hands, and walked forward.
"Be careful." Liu Yaoqing stepped back.
There is a new layer of sand and hay under the feet, and there is no chicken droppings for the time being. A lot of chicken droppings, sand, hay, etc. have accumulated far away on the mountain outside. When the sun shines, the inside will ferment, and the eggs will be burned to death. , can be used as fertilizer.
Brother Zhezi doesn't seem to be moving much, but as long as Liu Yaoqing says which one to catch, Brother Zhezi can easily catch it.
A total of three were caught, the wings were tied up and carried, and sent to the big kitchen.
Li's handled it neatly, and fried three large plates of chicken.
Just at noon, Liu Yaoqing set up a table in the house and asked all the old men to come and taste it together.
"This kind of tender chicken is best eaten when fried." The old man looked quite vicissitudes, but he was quite knowledgeable. "The meat is tender, but the bones are hard. This is a good chicken. It tastes delicious..."
"Brother Qing is capable."
"I have to admire, the few of us have lived for so many years, but we haven't been able to toss out such a precious mountain."
Liu Yaoqing took the small wine cup, poured Taoer Niang, and said with a smile: "I'm just lucky, but it's really okay."
The old men obviously knew Liu Yaoqing's polite words, but they didn't say anything else, they drank the Tao'er Niang happily and were full of praise.
When I turned back down the mountain, I took all my juniors out and looked at them one by one, but found that no one was as smart as Brother Qing. They all sighed secretly, but told them to keep an eye on the mountain for help. If you want to recruit people, be the first to go.
The juniors quickly nodded in agreement, even if the elders didn't say anything, they still thought so in their hearts.
Brother Shui of Uncle Liu's family, and other brothers and boys were selected by Brother Qing to work in the pancake workshop. At night, he could learn to calculate accounts, learn to read, and listen to Brother Qing's lectures.
Now it seems that these children are different from the children in the village.
Brother Shui is a child of Fifth Uncle Liu’s family in Lizheng. He had gained a lot of knowledge from Uncle Liu in the first place, and learned from Brother Qing, so he learned the fastest and the best. Now he is the leader of this group of children, responsible for every day Click Mao at the entrance of the pancake workshop.
A few days ago, there was a peddler who carried very rare gadgets at low prices, and sold a lot in the village. Many people said that the peddler was a good person.
Brother Shui found out, but said that the shopkeeper had stayed in Shanggu Village for too long, and he was afraid that something might happen.He asked his brother to watch the peddler secretly, and within a few days he found out that the peddler didn't care about drinking. He wanted to steal kiwis and wild raspberries.
At that time, Brother Shui caught him straight, and the villagers came out, beat him up severely, and told him not to let the shopkeeper enter the village again.
Someone asked Brother Shui, "How do you know that the shopkeeper has a problem?"
"Brother Qing said that everything has its own rules, just like we eat when we are hungry, and we don't eat when we are overwhelmed. That shopkeeper sells things at low prices, and he doesn't make money at all. This is not normal, and he stays in the village again. After so many days, it was not normal, so I felt that the salesman had something else to do." Brother Shui said it calmly at the time, but he was very happy in his heart.
This made the villagers know, and they all said that brother Qing taught well.
Adults might not notice so many problems, let alone a child like Brother Shui.Maybe he thought of it cleverly, but he didn't make a move. In the end, Brother Shui made a decisive decision.
After the incident, the villagers felt that Liu Yaoqing was not an ordinary person, and they all wanted their children to go to the mountain for some errands.
However, there are no people on the mountain for the time being, and there are already rules. For example, all workers, including Mrs. Shen, Brother Yu, and Brother Xing, have to do it every morning and after work in the afternoon. If they do it for a month in a row , there will be extra rewards; and there is a rule of the pancake workshop that hair must be covered. If anyone does not cover their hair, they will not be able to work in the pancake workshop that day. After accumulating three times, they will be kicked out.
From the village people's point of view, these rules are somewhat incomprehensible, but there is no rebuttal. Everyone believes in Liu Yaoqing.
Naturally, some Taoerniang had to be sent out, this time the quantity was not much, the small palm-sized jar was given to County Magistrate Du, and the two big jars were for the emperor.There is also a letter incidentally, but it is not Liu Yaoqing's intention, but Zhezi brother wrote it in private.
The emperor recruited someone into the palace without thinking for a long time.
A few days later, a stranger came to Shanggu Village.
He is hale and hearty, with a clean face and well-dressed clothes, like a rich man.He first entered Shanggu Village and inquired about the Liu family, but for some reason, the guide remembered that Gao Fugui had to visit Old Man Liu every time he came to Shanggu Village, so he told the old man to go to Old Man Liu too.
Little Treasure in the yard was crying loudly, yelling, "I won't go to school, and I won't go to school even if I die."
Xiaobao is fatter than Liu Quanfu, as fat as a hill, with fair skin, extremely small eyes, and not short in stature, standing in the courtyard looks like a mountain.
Mrs. Li walked over with a smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "Your grandma finally gave Shu Xiu, and told you to pay homage to a teacher, so that you can gain fame in the future and become an official lord. It's so majestic and good. What do you want to eat?" What, what you want, what you have."
"Brother Qing didn't go to school, now you can eat whatever you want!" But Xiaobao was not fooled, and even carried out Liu Yaoqing.
How can I answer this, saying that Liu Yaoqing is nesting in Shanggu Village and has never seen the world outside?But now that everyone in the world knows Brother Qing, he can't go where he wants to go?
There was no other way, Xiao Li had no choice but to continue coaxing, "Brother Qing is Brother Qing, you are you, and he is not an official. Do you want to be an official?"
"What's so good about Mr. Guan, I don't study." Xiao Bao simply sat down on the ground and continued howling.
The old man Liu and Mrs. Li in the room heard it, and they all came out in a hurry to coax Xiaobao gently.
He Shuo stood at the gate, and before he could ask, he saw this scene, his expression changed, and he turned away without saying a word.
Who doesn't know that Liu Yaoqing doesn't live in this house, but lives on the mountain.
The mountain is not high, and the location is very easy to find. Walk along the village and you will reach the end.There is also a nice house at the head of the village, which is brother Zhezi's home, and it is on the mountain further ahead.
There is a dirt road leading to the mountain, which is extremely smooth, and there are many ox carts and wooden carts passing by.
Walking along the road, you can see a shed, and there are two small men busy inside, but their movements are extremely clever.
Seeing He Shuo standing outside with a strange face, Brother Zheng came over and asked, "Excuse me, this is your first time on the mountain, do you need my help?"
He Shuo didn't get angry when he said this neither humble nor overbearing, on the contrary he found it strange, so he said, "I'm looking for Brother Qing."
"May I ask what you want to see Brother Qing, and when do you want to see him?" Brother Zheng said sternly, "Come with me and take a rest for a while."
There were clean tables and benches in the arbor. As soon as He Shuo sat down, another young man brought him tea.
"I want to see the chickens in the greenhouse." He Shuo thought for a while before saying so.
If he had to see Liu Yaoqing, he might not be able to, and he already knew that Zhezi and Liu Yaoqing were inseparable, if he wanted to see Liu Yaoqing, he had to see Zhezi.
Brother Zheng didn't agree immediately when he heard that it was this.
Those who can go up the mountain to look at the chickens in the greenhouse are all from their own village, and they are familiar with each other if they are not familiar with it, but it is a different matter for strangers.
Asking He Shuo to wait first, Brother Zheng ran to the pancake workshop to find Brother Xing.
Tell Brother Xing about the matter, and Brother Xing will go to Liu Yaoqing and talk about it.
After Liu Yaoqing knew about it, she said: "Tell him to go, and send someone to watch from time to time."
