bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 120 Xingren
The interior of the winery is very large. Although it is impossible to be too tidy and clean because it is a factory area, it is obvious that the corresponding notice has been received, and the space has been given over to Concubine Chi and her party.

Many cast iron pots and kettles are still filled with raw materials for fermentation, which is not the same as Simeng's wine making process.

Simeng has a variety of raw materials to choose from. There are grain wines that are fermented with five grains and distilled in major wineries, and there are also wines that are brewed with sweet roots or sugar dregs as raw materials in areas with higher latitudes.

Relying on the high output of grain and by-products, Simeng's alcohol is made by distillation, with a high degree of alcohol, and is very popular among West Asians who need to drink alcohol to keep out the cold.

But for West Asia, where agricultural products are relatively poor, there is not too rich grain production for wine making. For high-grade wine, West Asia mostly imports directly from Simeng, and relying on the characteristics of many mountains in West Asia and large temperature difference between day and night, planting Special crystal grapes that can grow the fastest under low temperature conditions are obtained, and the juice is squeezed from these grapes and then fermented to produce wine.

This kind of ordinary alcohol is not high in alcohol content, and it is often consumed by people in West Asia who are not so firm in their beliefs. It is regarded as a kind of beverage, and it was introduced to Simeng because of its unique taste.

It’s just that for the folks, the purpose of drinking alcohol is nothing more than keeping out the cold or getting drunk. This kind of alcohol with too much sweetness and low alcohol content is not so popular with the people of Simeng, it’s just a taste.

The tradition and history of drinking grain wine is to some extent regarded as the priority of the agricultural production area.

Concubine Chi and her party walked in the factory area, Xiao Hongdou asked about the smell of grapes in the air intently, and blinked: "This doesn't seem to be the smell of wine, Madam Chi Concubine, is the wine in West Asia different from that in Simeng?"

To her, whether it was the wine her father drank at home when she was a child, or the wine she saw when she entered the palace to serve Han Dongwen with meals, it all had a pungent taste, but the sweetness was indeed fresh.

Chi Hanqing smiled: "Your Highness gave me this kind of grape liqueur from West Asia earlier, but it tastes very good, and it's not easy to get drunk. Maybe it's appropriate to say it's a wine suitable for women."

"Wine suitable for women..."

Xiao Hongdou murmured: "Then, Concubine Yin must also like it, shall we bring her some back to Xingzhou?"

Chi Hanqing smiled and agreed to her, and was about to go further when he heard a noise coming from the factory next to him, and the group couldn't help but stop.

"Please, sir, I really need this job!"

It was a boy's begging, but what responded to him was a rude middle-aged man:

"It's full, don't you understand? If you really need this job, why are you late, it's disrespectful to me!"

"Sir, I really didn't disrespect you. I came here immediately after I went to church in the morning, but I really don't know when the road on Ferien Street will be closed!"

The middle-aged man obviously didn't buy the explanation, he snorted and said, "Then blame you for going to that shit church, you're already working here, why are you still pretending? Get out!"

Chi Hanqing and Xiao Hongdou glanced at each other, and walked towards the factory. The guide behind him couldn't stop him immediately, so he had to trot a few steps with a green face, and ran over before the group of people.

"Sir, you know the situation in my family. In order to treat my mother, I wanted to go to church to ask my aunt to borrow money. Usually she would not see me. If you fire me again, my mother will..."

"Stop arguing!"

The guide drank in a deep voice. The ones who were arguing were a middle-aged man with a big belly and a thin curly-haired boy. The man looked at the guide and spat at the side: "Sir, just now the winery received a notice from the Grand Duke's residence to welcome Visiting, it’s the Grand Duke’s guest, so we’ll talk about it another day if you have anything to do!”

This person should be the acting manager of the winery, the boss is not here, obviously he is the most in charge.

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Chi and her party came into his eyes. A group of officers and soldiers in casual clothes stood majestically and neatly, their eyes scanning him like knives.

And among this group of officers and soldiers, there were two beautiful Simeng women who looked in this direction. The factory manager swallowed and pulled his eyes back, only to see that the guide's face had turned blue, and he took out his hand. Take out a small book and show it to him:
"The Foreign Affairs Department of the Mansion House, this certificate represents the Grand Duke's Mansion, and I am the one who notified you!"

what?
The factory manager was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and he immediately changed his face and said with a contemptuous smile: "Ah, this, sir, I'm sorry, I just received the notice, isn't this just sending away some temporary workers? , so as not to affect the visit of the distinguished guests, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

The curly-haired little boy behind him looked at this group of people with a completely different atmosphere, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

"Hurry up and finish it!"

The guide said with a straight face, the factory manager nodded after hearing this, turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Haven't you heard, this is the man from the Grand Duke's residence, hurry up!"

"But sir, my mother she..."

"Wait a minute."

A female voice interrupted the quarrel among the crowd, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

It was Chi Hanqing who spoke.

She nodded lightly to the guards on the left and right, and slowly walked towards the boy, the guide and the factory manager couldn't help but take a few steps back, not knowing what she was going to do.

"What's your name?"

She asked.

The young man was stunned, but before he could react, the guide next to him coughed: "Young man, this is the grand duke's distinguished guest, the concubine of Simeng, the neighboring country, answer the question!"

"It doesn't have to be so serious."

Chi Hanqing smiled, and looked at the young man in front of him again. He finally came back to his senses, swallowed and replied, "Female, ma'am, no, miss, no, my lord princess...my name is Bota."

"Bota."

Chi Hanqing nodded after listening, and asked again: "You just said that your mother was sick, what kind of illness is it?"

Botha stared blankly at the veiled noble woman in front of him, he had never seen such a person, let alone speak.

The king's princess?
If the Grand Duke had a husband, wouldn't he be at that level?
His mind was a little confused, and it took him a long time to speak: "You, you are right, my mother... I don't know what it is, she keeps coughing, has no energy, and can't eat..."

Chi Hanqing listened carefully and nodded: "How long has it been like this?"

"Probably, almost a year."

"One year..."

Chi Hanqing sighed softly, raised his head and looked at the guide beside him: "I want to take some wine from the winery back home, and the expenses will be paid to you by His Highness's subordinates, is that okay?"

The guide didn't understand what she was going to do, so he nodded: "Si Meng and His Highness Wenjun don't need to spend, the Grand Duke's residence will give this as a gift."

Chi Hanqing nodded, and looked at Bota again: "In this case, I hope that this gift can send this child to the Xingzhou. It can also be regarded as a proof that the people of West Asia have witnessed the friendship between Simeng and West Asia. How about it?"

This proposal seems to be nothing wrong, the guide thought over and over in his heart, and finally nodded.

Bota was taken away from the factory immediately, and Concubine Chi didn't seem to have any intention of visiting again, so the group went back home and embarked on the way back.

"Ma'am, who were you just now?"

After confirming that the guide was not looking at her, Xiao Hongdou asked Chi Hanqing in a low voice.

Chi Hanqing smiled bitterly: "I... I just heard that the child's mother was ill, and there were some medicines prepared on the Xingzhou, so I wanted to help."

"So it's like this..." Xiao Hongdou nodded, but hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"No, no lady."

"You..." Chi Hanqing said helplessly, "After being together for so many days, don't you still think of me as an evil lady?"

Little Red Bean blinked her eyes, stuck out her tongue and said, "Actually...in fact, I just thought that not long ago, I served His Highness in Taishu Pavilion and listened to the lectures given by the boss of Wen Pavilion. Famous doctors also treat the people of the enemy country, the so-called benevolence of doctors seems to be the reason..."

Realizing that Xiao Hongdou hadn't finished speaking, Chi Hanqing pulled her in a bit: "What happened later? What did your Highness say?"

Xiao Hongdou smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness... Your Highness seems to compare this famous doctor to a lotus flower, and also said some strange things about the Holy Mother and what should be killed decisively, and the elder Wen Ge criticized it."

"Kill decisively..."

Chi Hanqing shook his head with a smile: "Unexpectedly, His Highness would go to lectures and books. What did His Highness think?"

"Master Wen Ge talked about the principles of benevolence and righteousness in detail, and seemed to convince His Highness that he admitted that benevolence can be practiced, but he also said that if he rescued the enemy soldiers, he would be treason and collaborating with the enemy, but if he was a commoner, it would be beneficial. "

After hearing this, Chi Hanqing nodded lightly and said no more, but just looked up at the direction of the Grand Duke's residence opposite Felien Street, not knowing what he was thinking.

　In the previous chapter, everyone’s chapters said that I was dumbfounded. It can only be said that it is a level that I have never imagined.

　　But what does this side show?
　　It shows that this kind of poisonous point is not in my brain circuit at all, which is good news xdm
