Chapter 21 Rain Winemaking

After Li Zexuan chatted with Han Lizheng in the house for a while, he saw Han Yuxi and Tie Dan walking in with vegetables.

"Young Master, Miss, Dad, it's time to eat." Han Yuxi put the dishes on a very old but cleanly washed square table, and called everyone to eat with a smile.

"Young master, miss, sit down and eat." Han Lizheng hurriedly greeted.

"Well, Uncle Han, you're welcome, you can also sit, Miss Han, you have worked hard to cook, let's sit down and eat together with Tie Dan." Li Zexuan said.

Han Yuxi was a little hesitant, but Tie Dan was overjoyed, he had long been salivating over the mountain chicken on the table and the gnawed chicken brought by Li Zexuan, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he couldn't hold it anymore when he saw the golden crispy gnawing chicken.

Just now he wanted to reach out and steal food in the kitchen several times, but his sister found out and kicked him out of the kitchen, and now when he heard Li Zexuan ask him to come up and eat together, he couldn't bear it, and he was about to come over when he raised his foot, but Han Li was glaring at him fiercely, and he was so frightened that he immediately retracted his foot.

"Young master, you and Miss eat first, there is still food in the kitchen, and Tie Dan and the little girl will eat in the kitchen." Although Han Lizheng also wants his son and daughter to have a good meal together, the Li family has a great favor to Han Jiazhuang, and this time the young master and the young lady can come to his house for dinner, he is also very happy, and specially asked his daughter to stew the pheasant he called yesterday to sell to entertain the guests, this time can not be rude.

"How can this work, we came to Uncle Han's house for dinner, there was a lot of trouble, Uncle Han, you don't charge us for food, how can we be so noisy at this time, if Miss Han and Tie Dan don't come to eat together, we won't eat this meal." Li Zexuan resolutely disagreed.

He saw the drooling appearance on the table just now, and he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the people of this era, who might not be able to eat a meal of meat during the New Year.

He Li Zexuan is indeed limited in ability, and he can't let the people of the world live a good life, but in front of him, he can still make the Tie Dan family have a good meal. There is another reason, it is indeed a great pleasure to be able to eat at the same table with a beautiful and delicious person like Han Yuxi, of course, for this reason, our upright Li Zexuan will not admit it.

Han Lizheng was helpless, so he could only nod to his son and daughter: "Since the young master is kind-hearted, you can also come and eat together." Tie Dan cheered and immediately sat down in the empty seat next to Lan'er. Han Yuxi smiled gratefully at Li Zexuan, and sat next to Han Lizheng, which happened to be opposite Li Zexuan, she was not greedy, but she also hoped that her little brother could eat a meal of meat.

A group of people sat down to eat.

At this time, Han Lizheng suddenly patted his head, as if he remembered something, stood up and said: "I haven't brought wine to the young master yet, young master, there is no good wine in this countryside, but the mountain fruit wine brewed by my family Yuxi tastes quite good, so I will give it to the young master to taste." Without waiting for Li Zexuan to refuse, he ran into the back room to get wine.

Li Zexuan originally wanted to refuse, he didn't drink, but later heard that it was just fruit wine, and it was made by Han Yuxi himself, so he hesitated, seeing that Han Li was going in to get wine without waiting for him to speak, it was not good to say anything, but he still had some expectations in his heart.

After a while, Han Lizheng came out with a wine jar in his arms, and said to Li Zexuan: "Young master, this is the mountain fruit wine brewed by my family's Yuxi, which is brewed with wild strawberries and hawthorn on the mountain, not that I boast to you, the taste is really good, this wine is bought at a high price of ten cents a pound by Yunxi Building every year in Chang'an City." As he spoke, he poured a bowl for Li Zexuan and the others.

"Dad, I want to drink the iron egg too." Tie Dan licked his lips and looked at Han Li begging with his eyes, obviously he must have drunk it before, and he was still in love.

Han Lizheng glared at his son angrily, and Li Zexuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Han, since Tie Dan wants to drink it, let him drink it, we can't drink so much." ”

Yes, this guy thought that Han Lizheng held such a large jar of wine for his own group to drink, but in fact, Han Lizheng also knew that they couldn't drink such a large jar of Li Zexuan, and he planned to take the rest to the city to sell. But when he heard Li Zexuan say this, he was even more difficult to explain, so he poured a bowl for his son and daughter, and said, "Since the young master said so, Yu Xi and Tie Dan will also accompany the young master to have a drink at noon." ”

Tie Dan was very happy, he didn't expect the young master from the city to be so easy to talk to, much more modest than the son of the landlord Liu's family before, and he was very grateful to Li Zexuan at the moment, how did he know that Li Zexuan was interesting to his sister.

Li Zexuan looked at the fruit wine in the bowl, the color was bright red, it was very good-looking, sniffed it lightly, there was no alcohol smell, so he was relieved, picked up the wine, took a sip, the entrance was sweet and sour, with the sour of hawthorn and the sweetness of strawberry, it was much better than those juices in later generations, after all, the materials of this fruit wine are pollution-free and natural. Li Zexuan smashed his mouth and exclaimed: "Miss Han's winemaking skills are really superb, this wine tastes really amazing, this fruit wine wants me to say that ten cents a pound of Yunxilou is a big bargain." ”

Lan'er also tasted it, and couldn't stop it anymore, this sweet and sour taste has a fatal attraction for children, and when she heard her brother speak, she hurriedly agreed: "Well, what my brother said is right, Sister Yuxi, you are so powerful, this fruit wine is delicious, Lan'er has never drunk such a delicious fruit wine when she is so old." ”

Li Zexuan was a little funny, this little girl was only more than six years old, and she was embarrassed to say that she was so big.

Han Yuxi said shyly and modestly: "Miss Young Master has won the award, in fact, this brewing is very simple, these materials are originally some worthless things on the mountain, and it is already very content to be able to sell them for ten cents a catty." ”

Li Zexuan shook his head, he had an idea, if he transformed this mountain fruit wine a little, it would definitely sell well in the summer, so he said to Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, do you know the Drunken Immortal Building in Chang'an West City?" ”

Han Lizheng nodded: "I know, Han Mou also went to the West Market yesterday, and saw that the business of the Drunken Immortal Building was very good, and there was a long queue in front of the door, and Han Mou didn't know what they were queuing up to buy." ”

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Uncle Han, that Zuixian Building is my family's property, and the people who lined up in front of the Zuixian Building yesterday lined up just to buy this gnawing chicken, uh......" But Li Zexuan pointed to the plate containing the gnawed chicken, and saw that there were only a few pieces of chicken left on the plate. It turned out that Tie Dan was talking happily when he saw the adults talking on the side, and he couldn't stop after tasting a piece of the golden gnawed chicken.

Han Lizheng was instantly furious: "Tie Dan, you little bastard!" "Then you have to get up and come and beat someone.

Li Zexuan hurriedly grabbed Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, don't be impulsive, this gnawed chicken is not a valuable thing, I still have a lot of it at home, I eat iron eggs and eat them, everyone is so happy to eat together today, don't be angry." Li Zexuan persuaded Han Lizheng for a long time before persuading him.

Han Li was sitting down, and glared at Tie Dan fiercely, Tie Dan just saw that his father was angry, and was about to pull out his feet and slip away, when he saw Li Zexuan persuading his father, he was reluctant to run, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, young master." ”

Lan'er watched quite interestingly from the sidelines, and said to Tie Dan: "Brother Tie Dan, what do you want to eat, you call me sister, I'll clip it for you, and your father won't murder you." ”

Seeing Lan'er such a beautiful and cute little girl talking to herself, Tie Dan instantly blushed shyly, and said, "Miss Lan'er, you don't have to be older than Tie Dan, right?" ”

Lan'er held a piece of gnawing chicken, and glared at Tie Dan when she heard this: "Huh? He shook the gnawed chicken in his hand and threatened.

Tie Dan looked at the gnawed chicken and swallowed his saliva, he had never eaten such delicious chicken before, and he struggled for a long time before he shouted with a bitter face: "Sister Lan'er!" ”

Lan'er smiled and responded, "Well, Brother Tie Dan is good." As he spoke, he sandwiched all the gnawed chickens into an iron egg bowl.

Tie Dan looked at the gnawed chicken in the bowl, and secretly said in his heart: "This sister's call is worth it." ”

On the side, Li Zexuan didn't care about the little sister messing around there, and continued to say to Han Lizheng: "Uncle Han, you have also seen that the business of Zuixianlou is very hot, you will sell fruit wine to Zuixianlou in the future, and we will buy it at a price of 30 wen a catty, how much do you have, how much do we want, you can also mobilize the villagers in the village, go up the mountain to help you pick wild fruits, you look at them and give them some rewards, after all, the amount of Miss Han picking alone is limited, and if there are any wild beasts in the mountain, Miss Han is not safe alone, what do you say?" ”

Han Yuxi heard that Li Zexuan had a faint concern for her in his words, and he was a little happy in his heart for some reason, and he lowered his head and ate casually without speaking.

Han Lizheng heard Li Zexuan give out thirty wen a catty, and his breathing was a little short of breath in an instant, but after a while, he still rationally refused: "No, how can you do business like the young master, the young master will lose money like this." We will sell the wine to the young master in the future, but it will still only sell for ten wen and one catty, and we people in Hanjiazhuang can't do such an unkind thing. ”

Alas, how can the people be so simple these days, Li Zexuan said: "Uncle Han, listen to me, since I dare to buy it for 30 wen a catty, I will definitely not lose money, and even make a lot of money, as long as Uncle Han sees that I have made so much money, don't regret it." Li Zexuan said a little half-jokingly.

Han Lizheng blushed when he heard this, stood up and said, "Young Master, how can my old Han be the kind of villain who is treacherous and betrayal. ”

Seeing him like this, Li Zexuan hurriedly reassured: "Uncle Han, don't worry, my little nephew is joking with you, I know that Uncle Han is a person who values faith and righteousness." Uncle Han, there is a reason why I paid 30 yuan a pound to buy it, you see that you can hire a farmer to help Miss Han pick wild fruits, you can't help but pay wages, this is all a cost. This also happens to increase the income of the bankers in Hanjiazhuang. ”

When Han Lizheng heard this, he thought about what Li Zexuan meant, as Lizheng, he naturally knew that the people of Hanjiazhuang lived a very hard life, although it was still much better than that of other Zhuangzi villagers.

But he also wanted to make the dealers live better, Li Zexuan's proposal made him very tempted, and he pondered for a long time, and then said to Li Zexuan: "Since the young master is kind and gives us Hanjiazhuang a way to live, then Lao Han and I will replace the whole village, thank you young master." With that, he got up and bowed to Li Zexuan.

Li Zexuan hurriedly came over to help him and asked him not to be polite. Han Lizheng added at this time: "But if the young master loses money in the future, then the purchase price will be automatically reduced to ten wen a catty, and the salary will also be reduced at that time, and the people in the Zhuangzi will be responsible for my old Han to persuade at that time." If you don't agree to this, young master, this business will be stopped. I, Han, would rather starve to death than harm the young master. ”

Li Zexuan could only reluctantly agree, this Han Lizheng was really upright.
