The sound of clanging construction continued into the night.

The wine in the distillation vessel has just completed its first distillation.

Because there is too much wine inside, it is not easy to move, so we simply move the fire to the other side and continue distilling.

In the evening, when the waiter from Jingshui Building came to deliver meals, the masons also came to say goodbye, and it was time for them to go home to eat and rest.

Jiang Zhao originally wanted to keep a few people and stay for dinner together.

"I won't eat dinner. My wife has already prepared dinner and is waiting for me at home."

One of them said, and the others nodded in agreement. It seems that there are wives in the family.

Jiang Zhao didn't insist on staying, paid them today's wages, and let them go.

Because you didn't expect at night that the wages for working here are paid once a day. Before, you had to finish the project before you could get the wages.

After thanking Jiang Zhao and the others, he left the mansion.

Several people went to rest after eating.

When Jiang Zhao got up the next day, the wine had already been distilled.

It was five jars of white wine again, Jiang Zhao decided to send some to Gu Hongyuan later.

I just don't know if a civil servant like him is used to liquor.

After breakfast, Jiang Zhao and Wei Xiang went to Gu Mansion with two jars of liquor.

As soon as he knocked on the door, the concierge of Gu Mansion came out and took the two of them to Gu Mansion's study.

"Master, Jiang Xiuzhuan is here."

Gu Hongyuan, who was reading in the study, heard Jiang Zhao coming, and quickly put down the book in his hand.

"Long time no see, niece Jiang is fine."

After Gu Hongyuan came out, he asked with a smile.

Jiang Zhao also answered with a smile.

"My niece is fine, Uncle Lao Gu is worried."

"Then what's the purpose of visiting today?"

"Isn't this Yuanzheng, so my niece came here to pay respects to Uncle Gu, hoping that Uncle Gu will be in good health in the new year, wishing Uncle Gu good health, delicious food, and a big increase in his official position."

Jiang Zhao greeted him with a smile and said some auspicious words.

"If you really came to see me, Yuanzheng should have come in a few days, and now Yuanzheng is almost gone."

Gu Hongyuan pretended to be dissatisfied and said.

Jiang Zhao gave him his own wine.

"So didn't my niece bring an apology gift?"

Gu Hongyuan took the wine jar from her hand.

"Is this... wine?"

Jiang Zhao nodded: "That's right, this is the wine I brewed myself, and I specially brought it for Uncle Gu to taste."

Gu Hongyuan lifted the lid of the wine, and a scent of wine wafted out of his nostrils.

He was not a wine drinker, but when he smelled the aroma of wine, he couldn't bear it anymore and ordered the housekeeper to bring the wine spoon and wine glass.

He poured himself a glass of wine, looked at the wine in the glass that was as clear as water, and said.

"This wine is interesting, it is as clear as water."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Jiang Zhao wanted to remind and stop him, but it was too late.

After being choked, Gu Hongyuan kept coughing and asked.

"What kind of wine is it? It's so strong!"

"Uncle Gu, this wine is called baijiu, and it is born out of ordinary wine, and it is more than ten times stronger than ordinary wine."

After hearing this, Gu Hongyuan poured another glass for himself and savored it slowly. The sauce aroma of baijiu is not comparable to that of rice wine.

He kept nodding and said again and again: "Good wine, good wine, really good wine."

Looking at the remaining two jars of wine, his eyes were shining, and now he had a sharp weapon to brag among his colleagues again.

"Niece Jiang, how much wine do you have left? Send two jars to Uncle Gu."

"Okay, if Uncle Gu likes it, I'll give Uncle Gu some more."

Anyway, this wine is easy to make, just pour it into a distillation vessel and distill it, nothing more than spending some firewood.

Gu Hongyuan laughed and insisted on keeping Jiang Zhao for lunch.

Jiang Zhao couldn't help it, so he had to stay for lunch.

It's just a pity for Wei Xiang, this Shangshu Mansion has a strict hierarchy, he is not qualified to eat at the same table as his master.

Even though Jiang Zhao repeatedly stated that Wei Xiang was her friend, not her slave.

But the feudal dynasty is like this, she wants to change, but the power of one person is too small.

So he had to let Wei Xiang go home to eat first, after all, the food at home was delivered by Jingshuilou, which was many times more delicious than this Shangshufu.

Wei Xiang nodded and left, but he didn't go home, but sat in the carriage and waited.

Jiang Zhao had dinner with Gu Hongyuan inside, and had a good chat.

Gu Hongyuan raised his hand to toast again and again, but Jiang Zhao didn't dare to drink anymore, she really couldn't bear the hangover headache.

Therefore, only Gu Hongyuan toasted repeatedly during the banquet. Although drinking baijiu is nothing to drink, it has great stamina.

No, Gu Hongyuan's face has turned red, like a cooked shrimp, it seems that the head has already been boiled.

He's talking a little too much now.

"Niece Gang, it's not that I don't want your friend to stay for dinner, but I don't know that there is no eyeliner in this house, so I can only be careful, so as not to be caught by others, and then give me a copy."

Jiang Zhao nodded, expressing his understanding.

In the court, the prime minister is not his own henchman, and the suppression is extremely ruthless. Their family, which is not subordinate to anyone, is the target of suppression.

As he was talking, Gu Hongyuan collapsed on the table and couldn't get up. It seemed that the spirit of alcohol had already picked up.

The strength of baijiu is not something ordinary people can resist.

After asking his housekeeper to help Gu Hongyuan to rest, Jiang Zhao also left and went back.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of Gu Mansion, he felt that Wei Xiang was waiting for him in the carriage.

Jiang Zhao stepped forward and told him again what Gu Hongyuan said just now.

Wei Xiang shook her head: "Miss, I'm fine."

For this kind of situation, he has long been used to it, and he has developed a strong mentality.

The two of them drove back to the mansion in a carriage, just like the mansion, Liu Ruoxiang, Chu Yao and Huayu all gathered together.

"It's rare that the three of you came together one day."

Jiang Zhao stepped forward and joked.

"Yeah, Miss Huashou didn't come when we came before, and we didn't come when Mrs. Huashou came."

Liu Ruoxiang laughed.

Every time I see Huaxie, there is an unexpected surprise, either she loses weight or loses weight.

The embarrassment of the flowers becomes whiter day by day.

Both Chu Yao and Liu Ruoxiang wanted to ask Jiang Zhao for the formula of Qibai Ointment.

Although Jiang Zhao is close to them, the formula of Qibai Ointment will never be handed over to others easily.

But she gave a large jar of Qibai Ointment as a gift, and promised to come to her again if it ran out.

Several people happily held the Qibai ointment, and began to rub it on their faces impatiently.

After all, one white covers one hundred ugliness, and everyone loves beauty. They also hope that they can become whiter, so that they don't need to put powder on their faces anymore.

Jiang Zhao also followed them.

Only Huaxie asked, staring at the two strange iron buckets in the garden.

"Miss, what is this iron bucket used for? It looks so strange."

Jiang Zhao cast a glance and said.

"This is for brewing."
