The edict appointing Zhongshu Ling can be delivered to Baidizhou in two hours via the Yunhuang Expressway Cement Road.

After Xiao Wangzhi received the order, his mood could not be calm for a long time.

"His Highness respects you!"

In the past, the eldest princess once said that the gentleman is a great talent and should show his talents again.

He couldn't bear for her to confront her mother clan when she was still young, so he offered to guard Baidi City for her to prevent rebellion by unscrupulous people in Yongzhou. After nearly a year, the rebellion was settled, and the dilapidated Baidi City became the indestructible and extremely wealthy Baidi State.

She kept her promise.

"Master, you have to leave."

Huang Zhu came back from military training, his handsome face was covered with sweat.

"There is no rush. I have to hand over the state affairs of Baidi Prefecture to the new governor. There are many properties of the eldest princess here and there are many accounts. The water conservancy project is only half completed, and many things need to be arranged. It will take at least three days."

"Who is the new governor?"

Huang Zhu washed his face with soap and it smelled delicious.

Xiao Wangzhi stared at him with a somewhat sad look on his face. This boy is fine for training soldiers and fighting, but is it really okay to let him take charge of the government affairs of a state?

Huang Zhu and his master stared at each other.

He suddenly understood.

"I?"

"Ah."

"Are you kidding? I can't do it."

"Even if you don't succeed, you have to succeed. This is the fiefdom of the eldest princess. If you can't appease the people here and do the opposite, don't blame me for being rude!"

"I really envy Master. I can go to Yundu to assist His Highness and be by your side all the time. I can also reunite with sister Jinyu."

"Yundu is good, but it's not suitable for you. Huangzhu, stay in Baidizhou and guard the base camp for His Highness. This is her foundation."

"Yes!"

"As for the last time you went to Yundu, you were framed by a poisonous plot. I will avenge you."

Huang Zhu remembered the incident of accidentally entering the palace of the imperial concubine, and felt a lingering fear in his heart. A chill ran up his spine: "Master, you must be extra careful. The people in the palace are too bad."

Since Cui Shining was dismissed as prime minister, his workload has been greatly reduced. He has stopped going to dinner parties and his life has become much more leisurely.

Whenever he had free time, he would go to the shop to visit his daughter.

"Why are you here again?"

Cui Jiangjiang just came out of the koji-making room, holding a jar of chili bean paste in his hand.

"Jiang Jiang also dislikes dad?"

Cui Shining felt a little aggrieved. With his baby face that looked very young, standing together with his daughter, he looked like a brother and sister.

"What nonsense did father say?"

Cui Jiangjiang opened the cork sealing the altar and scooped out a plate of spicy bean paste with a celadon spoon. "You are the head of the Cui family. You are as rich as the country. You are also a third-rank official in the court and the brother-in-law of the regent. By the way, you are the most powerful. Yes, it’s a unique skill of making food from grain!”

A cheerful smile bloomed again on Cui Shining's melancholy face, and a pair of small dimples appeared on the side of his cheeks.

Yes.

The head of the Cui family is a daughter slave.

He was very happy to see his daughter. He and Yan Lan were childhood sweethearts and cousins ​​who often played under the gardenia tree. The daughter's appearance is almost exactly the same as that of her teenage wife.

"Dad, try this spicy bean paste. It's made with hot pot spicy bean paste. It's the secret ingredient given to me by the eldest princess." Cui Jiangjiang handed over a pair of chopsticks.

On the table, there is also a plate of potato pancakes and a plate of sweet potato glutinous rice pancakes.

Cui Shining happened to be hungry, so he picked up a piece of potato pancake, dipped it in spicy bean paste and took a bite: "Yeah! It's delicious! Jiang Jiang's sauce making skills are getting better and better, the spicy taste is really strong!"

He ate the spicy douban and ate three pieces of cake.

Cui Jiangjiang was extremely happy: "Added the chili powder given by the eldest princess, it is really delicious! It sells better than sweet wheat sauce, a jar is fifty taels, and many people lined up to buy it!"

Cui Shining looked at his daughter's smile and felt completely relieved.

So what if I'm demoted?

The eldest princess valued Jiang Jiang so much that she gave him chili peppers and taught him the secret sauce recipe. This gives the Cui family a lot of wealth! It’s the kind of way to make money that can make you money for a long time!

"Dad, I may really not be suitable for that position. I walk on thin ice all day long, always on tenterhooks, always afraid that something will go wrong. But something did go wrong."

"Do not blame you."

"After coming to Yundu, I even spent less time with your mother. Now think about how pleasant the days in Youzhou were."

"Dad, let's bring some grain to brew and give it to the eldest princess." Cui Jiangjiang's beautiful eyes were shining, "I met Zhaoyi yesterday, and he brought a set of very strange porcelain tubes and cups, saying they were from the eldest princess. Your Highness ordered some kind of condensation device to purify alcohol. My daughter asked Zhaoyi’s cousin what alcohol was, and Zhaoyi said it might be extracted from wine.”

Cui Shining listened carefully.

Cui Jiangjiang continued: "Our family owns the largest wine-making industry in Yunhuang. If Her Royal Highness the Princess needs wine, we can send the best ones there. We can help in any way we can."

Cui Shining immediately said: "This is easy to handle. There is a lot of grain in the winery to make wine. We have to pick two hundred jars of the best."

The father and daughter set off.

An hour later, the eldest princess's mansion.

Mu Tingxue was in the vegetable garden with her two cute babies, watering and fertilizing the Chinese cabbage.

"Mom, the Chinese cabbage has grown a little taller, can it be eaten?"

"Brother, it's a pity to eat such a small plant. In another month, it will grow into a big bag, which will be delicious."

"Zebao is right."

"Mother, when Mr. Xiao comes to Yundu, will Jin Yu stop living at our house?" Zebao raised his head and looked at Mu Tingxue with some worry, "Will she live with her grandfather?"

Mu Tingxue smiled, pinched Meng Bao's face, and said, "Jin Yu should live in Xiao Mansion."

Zebao flattened his mouth in displeasure and groaned.

Mu Tingxue comforted the child and said, "But Jinyu is still your reading companion. You can study and play together. She can come to live with us whenever she wants."

The corners of Zebao's lips curled up again.

Cui Jiangjiang and his daughter, after being notified, went to the princess's house to pay a visit. In the atrium, what I saw was such a scene.

Cui Shining said with envy: "If your brother was a few years younger, he could be a reading companion for them both. The friendship between the two of them, the friendship between childhood sweethearts, how wonderful."

Cui Jiangjiang raised his eyebrows: "You can give me a sister, it's not too late."

Cui Shining took a sip of cold air and coughed violently: "Nonsense... nonsense!"

"It's not too late."

Mu Tingxue also came to join in the fun, "Zhaoyi came over yesterday and said that Sister Yun was diagnosed with Ximai and he was going to be an older brother. When Sister Yun's child is born, Zebao and Yabao can play with her. The child It’s much more lively.”

The women in the Yan family are quite happy.

Yan Yun married the Marquis of Qinchuan, and they were monogamous. Sister Yun seems ridiculous and the eldest sister in Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion, but in fact she is just a mouth-sexer and has a deep love for her second brother-in-law and his wife.

A top aristocratic family like the Cui family has extremely prosperous heirs. Cui Shining is forty years old and has no concubines and no outside concubines.

"The Qin Mansion is happy. We will come to congratulate you someday. Lan'er and I are not young anymore. We have a son and a daughter."

Cui Shining was a little embarrassed, so he ordered someone to bring in the grain.

Mu Tingxue accepted it happily: "It can be used to distill high-purity wine."

She assembled the set of porcelain condenser tubes and beakers that Zhaoyi had sent yesterday.

Cui Shining watched in amazement: "Can these weird-shaped porcelains, put together, really be able to steam wine?"

Mu Tingxue took out a bottle of 21st century liquor from the space: "Try it?"

Place two jade cups.

Use a wine opener to open the lid of the wine bottle, and pour out the fragrant but not particularly strong white wine.

Cui Jiangjiang's eyes widened and he was surprised: "How come this wine is so clear? There is not even a trace of impurities!"

Yunhuang's brewing technology is backward, and the low-concentration wine brewed will inevitably contain grain and distiller's yeast residue.

Even more expensive wines are inevitably cloudy in color.

"turbidity is inferior, a cup of turbid wine can lead people thousands of miles away, and a pot of turbid wine can bring happiness to each other; purity is esteem, a gold bottle of clear wine can cost ten thousand dollars, and a jade plate can hold a treasure worth ten thousand dollars."

Cui Shining was so excited. He was the best winemaker in Youzhou Winery, and he had never seen such a top-quality sake. "May I ask Your Highness the Princess, how is such a fragrant sake brewed?"
