I just want to build a city

Whether it is an izakaya or a seafood restaurant is a multiple-choice question. To build two restaurants is not a problem at all with the money in Qingshu's hand.

After all, he is still an adult at heart, and the final result is of course that everything has to be built.

Here Qingshu decided to build an izakaya and a seafood shop next step. In the cultivated land of the manor there, the villagers of the former Linhai Village bought wheat seeds from the merchants in the town and began preparations for autumn sowing.Of course, they didn't just win wheat. The yield of wheat was not as good as miscellaneous grains. After [-]% of the wheat planted was handed over to Patriarch Genji, the remaining [-]% they would sell.

And their own rations are that small piece of coarse grains. The output of coarse grains is large. After paying [-]% of that small piece of miscellaneous grains, the other [-]% is enough for them to eat until the harvest season of the next year.

Fine white polished rice, because of its low yield and high price, is a ration that nobles and gentlemen can afford. Common people like them can eat coarse grains to satisfy their hunger.Now they are renting land in Genji Manor, the rent is low, they can not only feed themselves, but also save a small amount of family property a year, which is already very satisfying.Under the impetus of money, the action of the villagers can be said to have increased by 100%.Taking care of the crops is more careful than before, and some people can't wait to sleep directly in the crop fields.

Villagers are full of motivation for life, which is what Qingshu would like to see. After completing a hut and field mission to accommodate a village, the coins rewarded by the system are actually distributed as a result of the rent and occupancy fees received by the villagers. It's useless to make Qingshu despise this garbage system again.

With the lessons learned from the grass house, after the seafood shop and the izakaya were lit up, Qingshu asked Xing to contact the artisans in the town to purchase the wood, bricks and tiles needed for the two buildings. The artisans happened to have no projects recently. Once the materials arrive, they can come and start work at any time.

Qingshu looked at the location of the main road of the village on the pixel map for a long time, and finally chose to place the seafood shop in the thatched cottage of the current villagers. The position in front of the main road was placed in the izakaya, and it was placed in front of the village on the main road.

The villagers of Shanglinhai Village, Mr. Qingshu has read their detailed information. In addition to farming, most of the young people also have the ability to fish. Everyone's ability is different, but it is most suitable for seafood shops. The place.Perhaps these villagers are not short of fish to eat now, but when some mountain people come to the manor later, the seafood shop will be useful.Before recruiting mountain people who can't fish, the seafood shop should provide his manor first.

What is the real purpose, only Qingshu-kun knows it in his heart.

The people of the Fujiwara family were still very fast in their work. In just one week, the construction materials for six buses were delivered to the front of the manor.

After the materials were delivered, Xing sent people to the town to hire a team of craftsmen to start building izakayas and seafood restaurants.

Izakayas and seafood shops, craftsmen have experience in building in the town.But the craftsmen have never had the experience of building these two storefronts in the village.

After accepting the business, the craftsmen found out which clan the manor belonged to after inquiring about it.This kind of aristocrat, who wants to drink and eat fish, can't use izakaya and seafood shops, so why don't they just send someone to deliver them?Now that I see the location of the storefront, I am even more curious.He has never seen any nobles build exquisite wine houses for common people. Are there any samurai mansions here, and there are no onmyojis and the like. Could it be that this wine house and seafood shop are really just for common people?

"Do you want to build a storefront with such expensive materials here?" The old man in the village usually went to the fields early at this time, but now he saw so many expensive bricks, tiles and timber piled up in the open space next to his home, he was shocked. He had already forgotten what he was supposed to do.

The head craftsman also looked puzzled, but he still answered the old man's question. "According to the drawings I got from Ms. Xing, there is nothing wrong with the seafood shop being built in this location. The izakaya will be built on the main road in front of the thatched cottage village."

The old man got the exact answer, and put his hands together in prayer. "May the wind god always bless the benevolent and generous Patriarch Genji."

After all, the old man will not stay here much anymore, he is going to serve the crops he rented, and now the harvest of the crops is not only related to the income interests of his own family, but also the interests of the Patriarch Genji. Let the harvest of the field be better, so that the benevolent head of the family will get more share.

This is to thank the Genji Patriarch for taking them in and taking care of them.

The construction of seafood shops and izakayas is far less simple and quick than thatched houses.In the game, as long as you drag the building to the land, you can build the building. It took the craftsmen a whole month to build the two storefronts.Mr. Qingshu spent a whole ten pennies on the consumables and wages of the two stores.

Because I didn't expect that the izakaya would take so long, and the cherry wine matter had to be let go, Xing also disagreed that he was only five years old and was thinking about alcohol.As for cherry jam, it is even more difficult. In Heianjing, sugar is a luxury. It is possible to use a little sugar to enhance the taste of desserts. Let the kitchen use a jar of sugar to pickle cherries. Such a wasteful thing, the kitchen The mother is unwilling to do anything.

It is impossible for Xing to agree with Qingshu to go to the kitchen, which is not a place for men, nor should it be a place for nobles.

In the end, Qingshu only ate two small bowls of cherries from this tree in two days, and the rest was evenly distributed to the servants in the manor, the craftsmen who built the izakaya, and the villagers in the village.

Qingshu's generosity and equal treatment are not without rewards. Although the materials of the two shops can only be stacked outdoors, they have not been stolen. The villagers in the village arrange two people to guard these materials every day, probably thanks to this At this point, these materials that were placed outdoors were not lost or damaged.

After checking and accepting the quality of the two stores, Xing asked the maid to go back and tell Mr. Qingshu about the completion of the work.After Qingshu asked the maid to leave, he couldn't wait to click on the system map consciously to check the status of the seafood shop and izakaya.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Consciousness clicked on the building of the seafood shop, a familiar small interface popped up, but the content on it was changed. Even though he hadn't looked at it yet, Qingshu already had a bad feeling.

System prompt: Your seafood shop has no clerks to work, so you cannot open the shop. Please arrange your residents to work in the seafood shop as soon as possible, so as to successfully open the shop.

Mr. Qingshu had just finished reading this prompt, and immediately after, another task prompt popped up from the task.

Task: The seafood shop opened successfully, with consistent profits.

Task reward: special handicraft [random].

Qingshu remembered that there were such things as handicrafts in this game, but he had long forgotten the specific use of them. Moreover, the word [random] after the reward really gave him an unfriendly feeling.

The seafood shop is like this, so Izakaya Haruki-kun doesn't have to look at it, and a prompt will pop up, triggering the task of opening a shop to make a profit, so he didn't click on it to take a closer look.

Of course, there is no major problem with the clerk who arranged the work. Mr. Qingshu read the personal information of everyone in the manor and the village, and wrote down the selected people on paper. After Xing came back, he wrote down the list. to her.

"What is written on it is the person I think can be trusted and used. The manager of the store should choose the manor's own people, and the staff in the store should be chosen from among the villagers."

Xing unfolded the paper, glanced at the names of several people written by Qingshu-kun, and asked. "Mr. Qingshu, none of these people seem to know how to make wine. No, it should be said that no one in the manor knows how to make wine. Are you going to recruit another master of wine making outside the manor?"

Qingshu stopped drinking tea, and immediately clicked on the map to check the status of the izakaya. It was the same as the reminder of the seafood shop, it was a reminder that the shop could not be opened due to lack of employees, and then there would be a profitable task.

If it wasn't for Xing's reminder, he really wouldn't have thought of such a thing, the garbage system, he had to do everything by himself, and even the business needs and methods needed to be explored by himself.

Qingshu-kun clicked on the table with his small hand that hadn't opened yet. "As for the brewer, it's not too late. You can buy some cheap sake from the outside and store it in the izakaya. The autumn harvest season is still a while away, and the farmers don't have the money to drink. It's good to find a brewer before next year. .”

Speaking of winemakers, it is not so easy to find.It's not that the brewers won't come to the door when they hear that they are working for Fujiwara or Genji, but the alcohol in Heian-kyo is too single, only rice wine.Moreover, most of the good brewers rely on the nobles, so how could they be easily recruited over? If they are not very good brewers, Mr. Qingshu is not willing to recruit them.

He also hoped that after the izakaya was built, it would be able to make drinks such as fruit wine. An incompetent winemaker couldn't even brew high-quality rice sake, so it's better not to waste his ingredients.

If you can't find a brewer, you have to come by yourself. Unlike cooking, some of the nobles in Heian capital also like to brew their own wine. It is considered an elegant thing to invite people to taste flowers.In the previous life, he would also drink a little medicinal wine or flower wine every meal to reconcile his body.Therefore, I know more or less the methods of brewing medicinal wine and flower wine, but the specifics still need to be tested.

Thinking of this, Qingshu also asked Xing to prepare.

Chrysanthemums can be picked in the courtyard of the manor, or they can be picked by Zhuang Min’s children when they go to the foot of the mountain to play.As for the medicinal materials, send someone to the mountain people in the nearby mountain villages, and you can buy some not-so-expensive common medicinal materials for wine at a low price.

Hearing that the Patriarch Genji needed it, Zhuangmin’s children were rushed back by adults to pick beautiful chrysanthemums. In just one morning, more than a dozen children picked a large basket of chrysanthemums, and each one was picked with great care. They all kept their mouths pretty.

Mr. Qingshu asked the kitchen to send some soy flour rice cake snacks to these children as a thank you gift.Hearing the sound of children laughing and going away outside the courtyard wall, Mr. Qingshu had doubts for the first time.As a Buddhist, he has never deliberately concealed that he is not like a normal child. In the Heian period, ghosts and gods were popular, but there have never been rumors that someone in the Fujiwara family identified him as a ghost.

Could it be that the Fujiwara family doesn't believe in ghosts and gods?It doesn't seem to be the case. My grandfather and others are very respectful to the god sacrifice every year. Every day when I go out, I will ask to see the luck. He is a person who believes in folklore.

Mr. Qingshu shook his head and didn't think too much about it. There's nothing wrong with it, at least he won't be tied up to sacrifice to the gods, or burned to death directly, right?

The first material for wine making is a large basket of chrysanthemums, but of course fresh chrysanthemums cannot be used directly. Taking advantage of the sunshine at noon, Mr. Qingshu asked people to spread the chrysanthemums one by one until the chrysanthemums themselves were exposed to the sun. No moisture.

The autumn sun is not strong, and the chrysanthemums have not lost much water after being exposed to the sun for half a day. Qingshu can only be fried in the kitchen, referring to the modern method of roasting tea leaves to remove excess water.As for whether the fried chrysanthemum is suitable for wine making, it will not be too late to wait until you try it.

After the chrysanthemums were fried, they were left in the sun for another day the next day.The attendant went to the mountain people to buy medicinal materials and came back.Because the price of unexpensive medicinal materials is constantly changing, when the price is low, the mountain people will dry the medicinal materials for easy storage. Although the properties of the medicinal materials are much weaker, it is also very convenient for Qingshu himself.

Because Qingshu-kun said that he wanted to try wine making, Xing, who had always supported the owner's generous behavior, naturally had someone buy the best rice wine back.

Xing stood in the corridor with Qingshu-kun, watching the maids in the courtyard turn over the ingredients and flowers at regular intervals, and then do the last drying.After following Qingshu-kun, Xing has developed the habit of asking directly when in doubt, otherwise, even if you want to live a year, Qingshu-kun will not be like others, and can't help but still tell the reason.If he didn't ask at that time, it is very likely that Qingshu-kun himself would have forgotten about it soon after.

Mr. Qingshu said, apart from eating, drinking and having fun, I don't think I need to pay too much attention to write it down.

"Qingshu-kun, may I ask, why do you ask me to buy the finished sake if you want to brew it?" Is it because you are afraid that you will be laughed at by other clans if you fail to brew it?Haruki-kun is still young, and it's his first time brewing wine, so it's not a big deal if he fails.In addition to sake, people also collect chrysanthemums and medicinal materials, which she doesn't quite understand.Does winemaking have anything to do with flowers?The only thing that catches the edge is tasting wine and enjoying flowers, which are all extremely elegant things.

Mr. Qingshu saw that the attendants in the courtyard were not slacking off, so he stopped standing in the corridor, turned around and walked back indoors, allowing himself to sit and relax.He conveniently took out a book from the bookshelf beside him, lifted the book, and let Xing read the words on the page.

That's not a common language in Heian-kyo, but although Xing doesn't know it, it's not like she hasn't seen it before.When Ms. Yuko was studying waka and poetry, she had seen this kind of writing in books, and it was the common writing in Song Dynasty at that time.Because most of Bai Juyi's poems are recorded in the poetry book, some rare books are written together with the characters of Song Dynasty.

"Is this a collection of poems by Bai Juyi of the Song Dynasty?"

"Yes, I just read Bai Juyi's poems from Waka these two days, and saw that the title of a poem he wrote mentioned chrysanthemum wine, so I thought that using chrysanthemum to make wine must have existed in Song Dynasty, so Want to give it a try."

Fortunately, the emperor of the Heian period highly praised Bai Juyi's poems, and his poems also mentioned about chrysanthemum wine. Ask, so that he has to bother to think of some reasons every time.

I originally came to Tottori and took over the manor, thinking of living a carefree Buddhist life, but now I feel that my original Buddhist life is getting farther and farther away from him. Is it possible to enter the officialdom? Should it be the path of his Buddhist life?

I don't know if it's too late to give up the manor and go back to my father's side to receive education.

Haruki Minamoto, who had just had this idea, saw through the back window of the study room the samurai in the backyard wielding a wooden knife at the stake, and shook his head.

Forget it, he doesn't want to be tortured like this for several years by Genji's side.

In any case, the matter of Genqingshu's elegant behavior, learning from Bai Juyi's poems, and brewing the chrysanthemum wine in the poems, was passed from a servant of the manor to the patriarch of the Fujiwara family in Heianjing, his grandfather.

Minamoto Haruki knows who these attendants who replace Minamoto Yoshitaka and Fujiwara Michitaka are watching his actions, of course, no one can stop him from having a cheating weapon, he can check what the people on his own land are doing .Because the picture is pixelated, it can't be called hooliganism.The simple pixel style makes it really troublesome for Haruki-kun to find the person he is looking for from the servants in the same clothes.

If there is nothing to do at night, Mr. Qingshu will poke the villagers on the map of the manor on the map to see what they are doing.On the night when he was preparing to brew chrysanthemum wine and medicinal wine, that little person on the map happened to poke leisurely, and saw that after the attendant named Honda Kanou was clicked, the display turned out to be: writing to the Fujiwara Patriarch letter.

When I found this one, I couldn’t help but check to see if there were any other people. These people usually think that it’s the safest time to be in their room at night when no one disturbs them, so they will feel at ease and do something boldly. Then he found out another samurai who was writing some letters to General Genji.

I really discovered the incredible ability of this map. It seems that although this system is useless in building a city in my job, it is unexpectedly useful in other aspects.

Fujiwara Michitaka and Minamoto Yoshinobu did not hide the fact that Haruki-kun had placed someone beside him. Not long after, they sent him a letter. Along with the letter, there were also Genji's samurai. The Spring Festival is coming, Haruki-kun is going back to Heian-kyo.

The meanings of the two letters are not much different, except that my grandfather's rhetoric is more flamboyant and euphemistic than that of his father, who is a general and samurai.The general content is: condolences to his life in Tottori Manor, I heard that you are starting to recruit your own influence, which is very good.Even if you will live in Tottori from now on, don't slack off.I also heard that you knew chrysanthemum wine from Bai Juyi's poems, and you are going to try brewing it.After the chrysanthemum wine is brewed, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will be New Year's Eve, and when you come back, bring some back.

The time of the letter between the two of them happened to be the time when the chrysanthemum wine could be unsealed. I really don’t know if the two attendant warriors also wrote in the specific time when the chrysanthemum wine would be brewed. Otherwise, the time when the letter was sent would be How to pinch so accurately.

Because the children in the manor picked a lot of chrysanthemums, they also did a lot about the brewing of chrysanthemum wine.They also made wine with different herbs and chrysanthemums.

With a little common sense from the previous life, the simple brewing of chrysanthemum medicinal wine was very successful. When the wine seal was opened, one could smell the clear and sweet aroma of the wine.Haruki Minamoto was very self-aware of his body's age, so he only took a little with a spoon and dipped the tip of his tongue in the wine.

The wine soaked in the medicinal material chrysanthemum has no sour taste.It still has the sweet taste of rice wine, which is also mixed with the unique green taste of chrysanthemums. The spicy fragrance of chrysanthemums has completely penetrated into the wine. An eloquent taste.

"Let people take two altars of each kind and take them back. Divide them into two groups. One group will wait until Heianjing, so that Genji's warriors can take them back to Father."

"Yes, I'll tell them right away." Hearing this, Xing stepped back on her knees and asked the attendants in the yard who were tasting the brewed chrysanthemum wine to select the large altar and the well-brewed chrysanthemum wine, and sent them to the table. The cart back to Heianjing.

The villagers of the manor probably got the news from Koichiro, knowing that he was going back to Heian capital for the New Year's Eve, and before he left, they sent the best things of the year-end harvest to the manor.Most of them are a handful of carefully ground white rice noodles, or the freshest and most plump seafood you can find online.

Yuan Qingshu asked the kitchen to cook all the New Year's gifts from the villagers that night, and everyone shared the food and ate it all.

Touching his slightly distended belly, Gen Haruki was a little distressed, it was easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.Now he is used to eating three meals a day and eating the freshest sea fish and mountain products. How can he survive the painful New Year's Eve when he returns to Heianjing?

Qingshu-kun's worries didn't last long. The next day, the group set off on their way back to Heian-kyo.

Compared with when we came, the way back is not so peaceful.

On the second day after leaving Tottori, the four attendants in charge of consigning the drink trolley found that the trolley was much lighter.Immediately before continuing to set off, I counted the drinks, and sure enough, one-third of the drinks were missing.With so much less, it's no wonder that the four of them obviously felt that the weight was not right.

About this matter, two of them ran directly to tell Haruki Genji in the bullock cart, and the other two, one stayed behind, and the other went to report to the Genji samurai who escorted them.

Minamoto Haruki frowned after hearing the two finished talking.The drinks were reduced by half overnight. If it was just a bottle or two stolen, it would be fine, but it was accidentally stolen because I didn't check for a while.A third of them disappeared, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be careless, so so many were stolen at once.

It is impossible to move it once, and it is impossible to move it many times without being discovered, unless it is an inside thief. However, Yuan Qingshu did not continue to consider this possibility at all.Yuan Laixin sent his personal guards to escort him, how could he betray the head of the general family who had been with him for so long for a few jars of wine.

Qingshu-kun wanted to come down to see the scene for himself to see if there were any traces left, but before he got off the ox cart, the samurai led by Genji stepped forward to stop him.

"We already know what's going on, please don't worry, we'll continue on our way back to Heianjing later."

The obvious meaning is to let this matter go, don't bother with it anymore.

What kind of person can make the Genji samurai shy away, Haruki-kun was puzzled, and obediently sat back in his seat.
