After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive
Chapter 176 I thought you diluted it with water
Li Feng was showing off, but when Li Qingqing wanted to go and "borrow" the horse in person, he was a little hesitant.
We had agreed before that she would only assist with logistics, how could we let her face the enemy soldiers directly?
Moreover, going deep into the enemy camp is no joke. Li Qingqing has never experienced such a thing. What if an accident happens?
Li Feng could only say sternly, "We'll make another decision after the enemy arrives. You should assist with the logistics first."
Xie Xuan'an also felt that Li Qingqing's idea was a bit audacious, and he nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Li Qingqing saw their disapproving expressions and then smiled and said:
"I'm just mentioning it. There's no rush. We still have ten days or half a month left. It won't be too late to discuss it then depending on the situation."
After lunch, Li Feng went to the barracks.
Li Qingqing already knew Xie Xuan'an's alcohol tolerance at this time and learned that he wanted to sell this batch of liquor to Kyoto.
She thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
Xie Xuan'an didn't understand what was going on. He watched Li Qingqing enter the bedroom, and soon she came out holding two wine glasses.
"Try these two kinds of wine." Li Qingqing placed two wine glasses on the table.
Xie Xuan'an looked at the two wine glasses and saw nothing unusual.
He thought to himself, didn’t we only brew one kind of wine before?
Xie Xuan'an looked at Li Qingqing in confusion, then picked up the cup and started to taste it.
When he took his first sip of the wine, he felt it was mellow and long-lasting, with a long aftertaste, exactly the same kind of strong liquor he had tasted before.
The aroma of the second glass of wine is slightly weaker, but the taste is still soft and unique, which seems to be more suitable for those who don’t drink too often.
Xie Xuanan lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "What's added to this wine?"
Li Qingqing smiled and said, "This is a low-alcohol drink I made. It tastes quite mild."
Xie Xuanan heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "I thought you diluted it with water."
"How is that possible!" Li Qingqing firmly denied.
She looked calm and said seriously:
"One can of strong liquor can make three cans of low-alcohol liquor. If you think this liquor is okay, we can try selling it first."
Even if it is a low-alcohol wine, it is still stronger than rice wine, so I believe it will be popular in all countries.
Since you don't plan to exchange liquor for war horses, then exchange it for silver.
She would never say that this wine was mixed with space spring water!
Besides, blending wine is also a kind of winemaking process. She didn't fake it. She tasted it just now. Apart from the low alcohol content, the taste was quite good.
The space spring water finally comes in handy!
"That's good," Xie Xuan'an said without any doubt. "It can also save food."
After a pause, Xie Xuanan said with some regret: "When there is enough food in the future, we can make more strong liquor."
"Okay! Let's brew this batch of liquor first, and then brew larger quantities later." Li Qingqing nodded with a smile.
Once her grain production figures come out, she can buy sorghum without restraint.
The two of them then discussed and decided to go to the border town first to see if the people who came yesterday had been settled, and then choose two people from the people brought by Xie Xuan'an to learn how to make wine, and then set up a winery in the border town.
The two first came to the brick kiln.
It is true that there is strength in numbers. Many temporary straw huts have been built on one open space, while more adobe bricks are drying on another open space.
There was also a large amount of freshly cut wood and thatch piled on the ground.
Li Qingqing found Li Tiezhu who was busy and asked with concern: "Tiezhu, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Lord Qing, thank you, sir!"
Li Tiezhu hurriedly bowed and said, "Thanks to the help of Brother Hu and the others, we have settled down."
He pointed to the open space in front and continued:
"For now, we are living in temporary huts. Once the adobe bricks are dry, we can build adobe houses. The empty huts will be used to store bricks in the future."
As winter and spring approach, if there is rain or snow, the bricks can be placed in a straw shed to avoid being damaged by the rain and snow.
Li Qingqing nodded with some appreciation.
She looked around and found that all the people were busy, and then asked:
"Where are Hu Dabao and the others?"
Li Tiezhu replied, "Brother Hu took his men to the border town to build houses for those refugees."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing thought that Hu Dabao was indeed becoming more and more steady in his work.
She looked at Li Tiezhu and said:
"I'll entrust the construction of the new city wall to you. I need a lot of blue bricks, the more the better."
Before Li Tiezhu came, he had received instructions from Zhou Yimo, who told him that repairing the city wall was to guard the country's borders, and was the responsibility and obligation of the people of Dayuan.
Although he didn't understand those big principles, he knew that as long as the border was safe, they in Lihua Village could live a peaceful life.
Moreover, the village chief also said that Lihua Village can have its current good life thanks to the Zhou family. Before coming here, the village chief's father and mother repeatedly told him to complete his task well.
After hearing Li Qingqing's request, Li Tiezhu smiled naively and responded:
"We promise to get the job done!"
"I feel relieved with your words. If you encounter any difficulties, just go to Zhao Lizheng in the border town to solve them."
Seeing Li Tiezhu nod, Li Qingqing continued:
"Also, there are branches of the Escort Agency in border towns. They not only transport goods and money, but also provide letter delivery services. If you need to contact your family or send items, you can contact them."
Upon hearing this, Li Tiezhu's eyes flashed with gratitude.
The villagers leave their hometown to work outside and always worry about their parents, wives and children at home. They also want to send the wages they earn back home as soon as possible to supplement their family expenses. Now with this delivery agency, they will feel much more at ease.
Li Tiezhu nodded solemnly and reassured, "Don't worry, we will do our best to build the city wall!"
Li Qingqing and Xie Xuan'an left the brick kiln.
The two of them got into the carriage, and the shadow guard continued to drive the carriage towards the border town.
Xie Xuanan recalled what Li Qingqing and Li Tiezhu had said, and asked with a hint of doubt:
"When did we open a branch of the escort agency in this border town?"
He had always been in charge of the couple's business affairs, but Xie Xuan'an was not aware of this.
However, Xie Xuan'an thought to himself that he also felt that setting up a branch of the escort agency in a small border town was indeed a good idea.
If we can set up a few more such branches in other places, it will be of great benefit to the business expansion of the escort agency.
Li Qingqing glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she replied:
"Just now, this city lord has personally approved it. You must remember to pay your share of taxes to Border City from now on."
Ha! She made it sound as if the escort agency wasn't her business.
Xie Xuanan sat opposite her, looking at Li Qingqing dimly, and said, "You are truly a good citizen of the Great Abyss Nation."
"Of course!" Li Qingqing responded.
She found a comfortable position to sit, watching the greenery outside the carriage receding.
Thinking that the space spring water could actually bring her wealth, she smiled happily.
She smiled happily and brightly, which made Xie Xuan'an feel a little happy.
Xie Xuan'an was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about, and then he couldn't help but chuckle.
