It has entered the wax moon, and there is a long ice cube hanging under the eaves, like a sharp sword. The snow that had fallen a few days ago was trampled on the ground into ice, hard and slippery, and the biting cold wind hit the bone, chilling the bone marrow.

Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian stood at the door of the "Drunken Immortal Residence", watching the little guy come back with wine lees, their faces were extremely ugly. The few people who came back from "Qixiangju" obviously pushed an empty car.

The servants put the car down, and Du Zhongxiao asked, "Why isn't there 'Qixiangju' there today?" ”

The little servant arched his hand: "Little official, 'Qixiangju' said that there is no wine lees to sell us today, and they are useful." ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, was silent for a while, and said to Han Lian beside him: "Daddy Han, yesterday's person seems to be sent by the Wu family. Come to think of it, other restaurants are exchanging wine with us to sell, and they can't do this kind of thing. ”

Han Lian was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "How can this be handled!" How to deal with it! After being learned this method by 'Qixiangju', they will be able to turn over. We offended the Wu family before, according to their previous nature, how can we not retaliate? ”

"The soldiers will block, the water will come to the earth, and there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. We can do business with peace of mind, and today's county magistrates are not Shi County Order, and they will no longer be messed up by the Wu family. As long as our business is not bad and we can make money, there is nothing. If you think of another way in the future, you can't just rely on the method of steaming wine to get rich and rich. The Wu family stole the method of steaming wine, which is nothing more than forcing us to think of other ways. ”

Du Zhongxiao's expression was flat, but now he can see it. After half a year of hard work and confusion, he had the opportunity to work hard for a few months, and now that his family situation is better, Du Zhongxiao finally began to slowly calm down. There are many ways to make money by yourself, and I have been focusing on wine, nothing more than wanting to take revenge on Wu Kejiu, and I am too persistent. There are still a long days to come, and I can think of other ways.

Where did Han Lian know this? Just in a hurry to go around in circles. He has been selling wine for decades, and finally relied on a secret method of steaming wine, and saw the hope of a prosperous family business, but suddenly someone stole it, and his heart was like a knife.

instructed the little servant to transport the wine lees to the backyard, Du Zhongxiao was not in the mood and let his father and Han Lian be busy.

Winter mornings are often foggy and not particularly cold. Standing in front of the restaurant, Du Zhongxiao looked at the blurred street in the fog, looking a little lonely. The news that "Qixiangju" stole the method of steaming wine made Du Zhongxiao finally sober up. Since the soul came to this world, Du Zhongxiao has been in a chaotic consciousness, staring at "its fragrant residence" in the past few months, not so much to retaliate against Wu Kejiu's persistence, but to say that Du Zhongxiao himself used such a reason to let himself recognize the reality and completely integrate into this world.

It's ridiculous to think about it, the method of steaming wine from sake lees is extremely simple, how can it be kept secret for a lifetime? If you are attentive and spend a lot of energy on this kind of thing, what else is there to do in this life? It's okay if the method is leaked, just to cheer yourself up as soon as possible and start your life in the new world.

In the backyard of "Qixiangju", Wu Kejiu looked at the cauldron supported in the open space, and said to Teng Dalang beside him: "Isn't it straining wine from the lees?" Why are you looking for a cauldron? Do you have to steam the sake lees? ”

Teng Dalang said with a smile: "The little member was fooled by the Du family!" Where they are strainers, the wine is actually steamed from the lees. In the past two days, I can see clearly that in the 'Drunken Xianju' store, there is a cauldron, a retort, and a wine jar to receive wine. To put it bluntly, this matter is worthless, extremely simple. - Outside the small staff, steam out the wine, and don't forget to give money. ”

Wu Kejiu was suspicious, and said coldly: "Don't worry, as long as the wine is steamed, nothing will be missing from you!" ”

Teng Dalang smiled and pointed to the Wu family servant to fill the pot with the lees and put the retort on it. Then he learned the appearance of "Drunken Immortal Residence", and inserted a bamboo pipe on the retort and led it to a large wine jar on the ground.

Wu Kejiu just watched coldly from the side, how could he believe that this would steam out wine.

After cleaning up, Teng Dalang commanded loudly: "Sons, make a fire under the stove!" This is a big deal, don't be sloppy, the fire burns brighter! ”

The servant on one side agreed and added firewood to the pot, and several people played fans at the same time.

At this time, it was a heavy fog, and the firewood was not easy to ignite, and the smoke in the courtyard was billowing for a while, which was extremely choking.

Wu Kejiu was choked and coughed a few times, only looking forward to drinking, standing aside and refusing to leave.

Teng Dalang didn't look carefully on the side, just did what he saw and did what he saw. As a result, there were too many lees in the pot, too much water was added, and it couldn't be boiled for a while, and there was wine dripping out of the wine jar.

After waiting for a while, Wu Kejiu saw that there was not a drop of wine, and the boss in his heart was impatient, and said to Teng Dalang: "Teng Da, have you seen carefully?" Are they really so steamed? Today, there are no sake lees sold to the 'Drunken Immortal Residence', and they must have guessed that I was steaming wine here. If it can't be steamed, it will be difficult to do. In addition to the official liquor business, the county's sake lees are all sold to the 'Drunken Xianju', which is the order of the county officials. Once or twice, I can still find an excuse to pay for it, and if there is no wine to come, I will have to sell them the lees tomorrow. There is a liquor class in the county, whether I sell it or not, I have to make so much wine, and even the sake lees have a ration, and this matter cannot be hidden! ”

Teng Dalang was also a little anxious: "Don't be anxious, just wait." I've been watching the 'Drunken Immortal Residence' for a few days, and they are so steamed every day, how can it be wrong? It's just that we don't know how to do it for a while, and we steam slowly. ”

While talking, Teng Dalang was anxious to add fire to the stove, urging the people to fan the fire.

Wu Kejiu, who was on the side, touched his hair that was wet with fog, and threw the water droplets on the ground fiercely, so anxious that he turned around.

After a while, the bamboo pipe of the wine jar finally had a drop of liquid flowing down. Teng Dalang saw it and said happily: "Look outside, the wine is out, it's out!" I said, I can see clearly, it must be good to steam wine like this! ”

Wu Kejiu saw it, his heart was overjoyed, and he strode to the side of the wine altar. Without waiting for the next person to bring the cup, he reached out and took the steamed wine and wiped it into his mouth. After smacking his lips, Wu Kejiu's face changed greatly, and he smacked out: "Teng Da, you are so bold, dare to bully me!" ”

Teng Dalang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Isn't the wine right?" How do you say that? ”

Wu Kejiu said hatefully: "Have you deceived me that I haven't drunk the liquor of 'Drunken Immortal Residence'?" The wine is very powerful, where is it? The wine you steamed out is not as good as a pound of water wine in my restaurant, dare to use it to deceive me! ”

Where is Teng Dalang willing to believe. In the past few days, he can see clearly that Du Zhongxiao is steaming wine like this, there is nothing wrong with it, how can it be water that comes out of his place. stepped forward and tasted it, Teng Dalang was stunned. What comes out of the bamboo pipe is real water.

At this time, the water has just boiled, and the water vapor comes out of the gap in the sake lees, and there is no condensation in the bamboo pipe, so what comes out is not water. Steaming wine looks simple, but there are still some tips in it. Teng Dalang just watched from the side, where did he understand the trick inside.

The fire at the bottom of the stove over there, the bamboo pipes ticking here, but only the water came out, and there was no smell of wine.

Wu Kejiu and Teng Dalang stood in front of the wine jar, stunned for a while.
