Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 146
Chapter 140 VII

"Lang Jun, this time is still sour, what should I do?"

Daniu felt very uncomfortable looking at dozens of jars of "fine wine" full of sour taste.

He couldn't understand why Lang Jun insisted on brewing his own wine, and he had already wasted six or seven loads of food.
Let Da Niu, who has been farming for a living, burst into tears.

Although Li Yu didn't care, Daniu was different. He was born and bred in the ancient times. He had experienced natural disasters and even wars.
How many days have the common people counted rice grains to live, the family tightened their belts, and only ate some gruel to save their lives?
Food is more precious than life to the common people, now only three days, this gentleman has wasted five or six loads of food,

What is even more uncomfortable is that since it has been wasted, you can make some fine wine anyway,

What is produced now is all sour, and the whole wine making yard is stinky.

Zeng Gui couldn't hold it anymore. During the famine years, the people were so hungry that they dared to eat Guanyin soil. How many people finally died with their stomachs swollen like buckets.

If this waste continues, Zeng Gui will go crazy. In the past few days, he has watched the food disappear bit by bit, and his heart is bleeding...

"Lang Jun, I beg you, villain, why don't we stop doing it, how much food will be wasted if this goes on?
What a crime! "

Li Yu looked at the two tough men, just for some food, tears filled his eyes.

I can't help but be moved, yes, I have traveled from a thousand years later, and I don't know the importance of food,
But this is Datang, this is ancient times, food is the life of wealth, and I can't go on like this forever,
In fact, the most important thing is that a lot of food was wasted, and not a drop of fine wine was produced.
There are a lot of sour failed products, it’s a pity to throw them away, drink it, the sour smell smells up the nose, it’s really hard to swallow, it’s really tasteless.

"Daniu, Zeng Gui, there is no need to be so sad, although no good wine has been brewed yet,
But at least a certain family has figured out some ways, I believe it will be brewed soon, and the previous fine wines will come out.

Just imagine, if we are successful, we don’t need to go out to buy it anymore. Wouldn’t that save a lot, a lot of money? "

As soon as the two heard that they could save a lot of money, they began to hesitate again.

That's right, those wines in Chang'an City cost ten thousand dollars for a bucket of high-quality ones.

Don't let the gentleman toss, he will inevitably have to buy wine,

It is more distressing than this waste of food to have to pull out cart after cart of money.

"But sir, we have been here for three days, and we haven't got a clue yet.

I don't know when I have to wait, why not, Mr. Lang finds some wine-making experts from the estate, so I can serve them sooner? "

Zeng Gui was a little loose, but he didn't want to waste it like this anymore, so he made a bold proposal.

"That's right, why didn't you say earlier that a certain family was only focusing on making wine these days, but forgot about it, it really deserves a fight."

After the initial period, the low-alcohol water wine bought from Chang'an was transformed into high-alcohol liquor,

Li Yu has carefully calculated, the price is too high,
Not to mention the common people, even big and wealthy households cannot afford such high prices.

At most, it is only the children of high-ranking officials and honorable old men who can enjoy it.

How to reduce the cost and make it affordable for the common people is the real plan to make a fortune.

After the last success, Li Yu has already swollen, called Daniu, Ah Gui to pull a carload of grain, and started the vigorous brewing project,
Unexpectedly, when the first pot came out, the sour smell made him sick.

How could it fail?Li Yu is not one to admit defeat,
Carefully recalling one night,
However, he still couldn't find the reason, after all, he was not a winemaker in his previous life.

However, he always firmly believes that failure is the mother of success. As long as you keep experimenting, you will always succeed.
But it has been three days, and cart after cart of grain has all disappeared.
It is always two steps away from success.Not one step!
After the discussion between the master and the servant, Li Yu decided to brainstorm and mobilize the power of the masses,
The three hurried to the main hall of the front yard, Li Yu just sat down,

Li Zhong, the steward, walked in quickly.

"I've met Mr. Lang, but I don't know if Mr. Lang called me here. What's the matter?"

"My lord's recent brewing is known to everyone in the house, and I won't hide it from you.

Without an inch of gold,

I think of you, manpower is always exhausted, it is not as good as gathering the strengths of all families in one point,
Only in this way can we overcome difficulties,
so I call you to come,

Immediately go to our several estates to investigate, and find someone who can make wine. If you find someone, a certain family will give you a lot of rewards.
Our five Zhuangzi are all refugees resettled here and there. I figured it would not be difficult to find ten or eight of them.
When a certain family needed blacksmiths and carpenters, they responded all the time. Now that they are facing difficulties, it is time to employ people, so you should do it immediately! "

"Yes, the villain will go right away, but the villain is not greedy for money, and the lord does not need a big reward. If there is nothing else, the villain will go now!"

"Go, go!"

Seeing Li Zhong leading several servants and servants away, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daniu, ah Gui, let's go, let's go to the granary at the back and pull a few carts over. When the craftsmen who make wine come, we can start immediately.
Before Yuanzheng, it must be brewed successfully.A certain family may also go to Chang'an City to swim and sleep. "

The two servants reluctantly followed him and took seven or eight servants with children, and a group of them went to the granary behind Zhuangzi.

The chief steward of the granary is Ma Benchu, who has been passed down through the family for several generations.
This horse Benchu ​​took over the granary from his father, and he has spent more than half of his life, from a young man to an old age.

I am very concerned about the daily duty, and I have to come to check three times a day while leaning on a cane.

After Zhengyuan, he will vacate the position of chief steward, and his eldest son will inherit it.

The eldest son has already met the head of the family, and he will take the throne after Zhengyuan.

It's a job I've done all my life, and now I'm retiring,
Ma Benchu ​​was very reluctant to give up, and spent almost every day in the big yard of the granary, only going to bed before going back reluctantly.

In the past few days, he has not been in a good mood. The head of the family has come to pull a cart of grain every day these few days. Manager Ma doesn't care about it.

It's just that the owner said yesterday that as long as the brewing is successful, all the grain in the granary will be used to make wine.

As soon as these words came out, the old man was so frightened that he passed out.

As soon as I woke up today, I quickly came to check with my grandson to see if they were all pulled out.

"It's okay, it's okay, the food is all there, but it frightened the old man,"

Manager Ma saw that the granaries were full, so he felt relieved.

The grandson in his 20s next to him teased and said, "The grandpa is also worrying blindly, if the Patriarch wants to use it, can the grandpa stop it?

Grandfather, called in the Tang Dynasty

"Zu Jun, "Gong", "Tai Gong", etc.

Not called grandpa.

"According to Sun's opinion, it's only about a month. After staying in Yuanzheng, the Grand Duke will no longer be in charge.

Why don't you let it go, I'm Aye (you can also read the Lord)

Regardless, you can enjoy peace and happiness at home, right?

In the Tang Dynasty, the father had multiple titles. Aye also had the same pronunciation as Ye, and there was also an area where he was called brother.

There is evidence in "Mulan Poetry"

"When the father and mother hear that the daughter is coming, they go out to Guo Xiang to help the general."
