Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

Xu Zhengrong pointed to his face righteously, Ah Shui glanced at it secretly, and Brother Xu's face was really slightly flushed.

The little brother who had a guilty conscience and blamed himself suddenly had a sad face, not knowing what to do.

Xu Zhengrong bullied him so much that he was addicted to bullying, and asked with a straight face, "I've already kissed you, shouldn't you make it up to me?"

Ah Shui was still immersed in the blow of "because he was drunk and had a crazy kiss with Brother Xu", and he was completely led by the nose by Xu Zhengrong. He half opened his mouth in a daze, "But, how to make up Woolen cloth?"

Xu Zhengrong quietly showed a tricky smile, raised his index finger slightly upwards, and finally landed on Ah Shui's lips: "You kissed me so many times and took so much advantage of me, now I want to kiss you back , you should have no objection, right?"

The little brother's face turned red, he was at a loss for a while, he lowered his head in a daze and didn't know what to do, after a long time, he raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, he was so nervous that even the words he spoke trembled : "Then you, kiss me!"

So Xu Zhengrong, who had no morals at all, hugged the little brother he was thinking about and kissed him.

It is never easy to work as a helper in the town. It is Xu Yao who carries the burden to sell in the old street, and because he is reluctant to waste, he stays until it is almost dark, and sells the last handful of spicy fried snails before he is satisfied. Come back with the bullock cart.

After Xu Zhengrong sent Ah Shui back, he was not idle at home. He filtered several large buckets of wine and put them into wine gourds. He was busy until it was dark, and the two brothers of the Xu family and Xu Yao came back.

The tranquil aroma of wine is accompanied by the faint sweetness of wild fruits, giving the early summer night wind a kind of intoxicating intoxication.

As soon as Xu Zhengcai stepped through the door, he saw wooden barrels scattered in the yard and Xu Zhengrong who was leaning against the well and sipping mulberry wine.

"Hey! Brother is back? Our wine is ready, why don't you come over and have a taste together?"

The three brothers rarely had such an opportunity since their parents passed away. They could lean side by side in the yard, each holding a gourd of mulberry wine in their hands.

The taste of mulberry wine is much softer than that of ordinary grain wine. When you drink it in your mouth, you can't help but take another sip.

The three are people who are used to drinking grain wine, and a gourd of mulberry wine is nothing at all. Xu Yao did the rest of the housework by the way, and brought out a small plate of pickled peppers and bamboo shoots from the kitchen for them. liquor.

After drinking until the night was dark, Xu Zhengcai got up first. He didn't say too much, but lightly raised his hand and patted Xu Zhengrong's shoulder: "Good job."

"Call the big guy over tomorrow, let's discuss how to sell these drinks!"

Xu Zhengrong knew that this was the elder brother's approval, so he was excited and grinned.

The weather was just right and there was a night wind blowing, so it wasn't too hot. Xu Zhengcai went back to the house, leaving Xu Zhengrong and Xu Zhengyang to continue drinking in the yard, and the two idiots just fell asleep by the well until dawn.

The next day, when it was just dawn, Zheng Yuan and others, who got the news, couldn't wait to gather in Xujiatang's room.

They have been working in the town for the past few days, and they are so busy that they are dizzy. They didn't react for a while when they were called over, and they were a little confused. When the fragrant wine was brought out, they were all very excited.

That's right, they didn't have much hope at first, they were only willing to help because of the money Xu Zhengrong gave them.

Now that the fruit wine has really been brewed successfully, they have tasted it one by one. It is indeed a different and wonderful taste. Even if they sell it at a stall in the old street, they can earn a lot of money!

However, as the excitement slowly subsided, the Zheng brothers and Xia Yan just remembered that because they were worried about Xu Zhengrong, they only asked for money, and didn't say that they would share it!

Even if the drinks make money, it has nothing to do with them!

There was an embarrassing silence in the small main room, only Zhou Dazhuang was delighted, and kept staring at the wooden barrel, darling!But it's all white money!When it's sold, even if it's a fraction of a penny, it's safe to keep that snarky old woman from Brother Hua's house with nothing to say!

Xu Zhengrong could clearly see their careful thinking. In the future, help in wine making would be indispensable. If they didn't pass down the steps at this time, they might recruit enemies for no reason.

So, he first smiled lightly, tapped the barrel with his fingers, raised his eyebrows deliberately and showed off: "I just said that I can make wine well with my own skills? None of you believe it! Now there is no Have you said that? Are you all willing to come and divide it?"

Upon hearing the meaning of his words, Zheng Fang immediately came to his senses. With a shy smile on his face, he went down the steps, first praised Xu Zhengrong, and then said proudly: "It's not like no one has made it up before. Liquor, we don’t know each other! Brother Xu, the days ahead are long, so please let us know if you need anything! Our family is very close!”

That's it, a few people happily negotiated a business deal, those with spare money in the family invested some and shared it equally, while those with no money at home expressed that they could work hard.

Although wine is most of the success of brewing, it will take some time before it can be sold in the market.

Xu Zhengrong plans to negotiate the price with the hotels in the town before the autumn harvest.

Xu country's autumn harvest can be regarded as a special time period. Everyone has been busy for more than half a year, and after a good harvest, we will have a rest. Qingxi Township will hold a celebration in the back mountain, and the old street is even more lively, with people coming and going. The best time to do business.

Although Zheng Fang and the others were excited, they also understood Xu Zhengrong's plan, and they all vowed to keep their mouths shut, so as not to accidentally reveal the big money-making plan and cause red eyes for nothing.

The big head of wine making has been completely taken down, Xu Zhengrong's heart has relaxed a lot, and he has more leisure time to think about some small snacks in this world.

Anyway, he is also a modern person who has studied physics. Seeing the weather getting hotter, Xu Zhengrong suddenly remembered the material saltpeter. He had seen it in history books before. It seemed to be something used by Taoists to make elixirs. By accident, it can make ice!

With an idea in his mind, Xu Zhengrong paid attention to asking many people, and when he asked the owner of the pharmacy, the pharmacy owner frowned and thought for a long time. Pour it out.

"Is this what you are talking about?! This is not called saltpeter! It was collected from the herb pickers before, and it has been useless, so it is left here. Do you want it? You want to give it all to you!"

The pharmacy owner's attitude towards Xu Zhengrong has become better since he heard that the fruit wine was successfully brewed. Now when he heard that Xu Zhengrong wanted saltpeter, he waved his hand very generously and gave away all the saltpeter.

Xu Zhengrong was so happy that he went back and tried several times, and he actually asked him to make ice!

This is a great invention!If Xu Guo also had a person like a historian, he would be famous forever with just this one invention!

Xu Zhengrong held the ice happily, touched it several times before he reluctantly let go, no wonder he was so excited, he was used to living in an air-conditioned room in this world, and the temperature dropped sharply in the last days, Xu Zhengrong has never experienced it for many years Overwhelmed by the scorching sun.

He was still worried about the summer in Xu country, but now he is better, with ice cubes, he can finally relieve it.

Moreover, the existence of ice cubes also solves the problem of fresh food preservation. It is best to store the spicy fried snails and pickled pepper bamboo shoots with ice cubes.

After all, they are ice cubes made of saltpeter. Xu Zhengrong specially processed them and put them into the drink only after ensuring that they were safe and edible.

After drinking a large bowl of iced mulberry wine, I feel refreshed.

Xu Zhengrong became interested, found some juicy wild fruits in the mountains, squeezed them into juice, added some translucent ice cubes, and put them together in knotted bamboo tubes, as if they were sold in this world. Same with those iced drinks.

The Xu family was the first to taste the sweetness of ice cubes. When the sun is at its peak, taking a few sips of ice-cold fruit is simply a great joy in life.

Kidou'er is a child, he doesn't have much self-control, he is fascinated by the taste of cold fruit juice, he secretly drank a lot, his fragile intestines couldn't bear it for a while, he had a stomachache for many days, and was severely beaten by Xu Yaoshi After cursing, he strictly limited the amount of ice water used, and looked sad every day, watching this adult drink it.

Although Xu Yaoshi is a woman, she is quite shrewd. She can see the commercial value of iced drinks at a glance. When she sells spicy fried snails and pickled pepper bamboo shoots, she also sells cold fruit juices, and she has won many repeat customers.

At the beginning, the business was not very big, and the Xu family's sister-in-law could handle it alone. After the reputation spread, not only the original residents of the old street, but even the sea travelers passing by at sea would come here admiringly, and said by name. It's for an iced drink.

Xu Zhengrong also made many tricks, such as wild apple juice, wild plum juice... It can be said that he made the best use of the things in the mountains.

When there are too many people, it is inconvenient whether it is to support the stall or pay the bills. Xu Zhengrong began to take Ah Shui to the town to help out. Later, seeing that there was not enough manpower, he took out the bean who was idle at home and played with crickets. It's a child, solid and energetic, running around on the pier and soliciting business by the way.

Everything went smoothly, but when the Xu family was living a prosperous life, another bad thing happened.

It was the Lin family who were driven out of Qingxi Township in disgrace after failing to force a marriage last time.

To say that the Lin family has some relationship with the people in the town's yamen, Lin Feng's wife has a cousin who works in the yamen, and I heard that the officials like it.

Mrs. Lin has a violent temper. Seeing that her husband was rushed back by a shameless banker, not only did she not bring the little brother who was supposed to bring him to celebrate, but she also swept away the face of others, and she became furious. A burst of anger.

She stood in front of her son's bed and cried, cursing: "Son! Your father is incompetent, and he can't even snatch a little brother back for you! Don't be afraid, mother will find your cousin right away." Help! I don't believe that a dilapidated farmer still has the guts to fight the officials!"

She kept her promise, and soon asked someone to invite her cousin over.

Mrs. Lin's cousin is called Yang Chang, who is a well-known evil government servant in Qingtong Town, but he opened his mouth like honey, and could make the official smile.

Yang Chang is a widow, and he has been helped by Mrs. Lin in the early years. He is grateful in his heart, and treats Lin Ye as his own son.

Now when I heard my cousin came to complain, I immediately swear that I must make that Xu Zhengrong look good.

Yang Chang, who is a yamen servant, knows all the troubles in the town. He smiled coldly: "Sister, don't cry. I've heard about that kid named Xu too. He seems to be on the old street recently. Doing business is tantamount to doing things under my nose, don't worry, I will meet him tomorrow and let him know what will happen if he offends the wrong person!"

"Besides, we haven't collected taxes in Old Street for a long time!"
