The residence that Cao Cao originally arranged for Yang Ling was in the backyard of the Prefect's Mansion.
But considering the need to keep a low profile, Yang Ling rejected Cao Cao's arrangement.
In the end, Cao Cao bought an ordinary house near the prefect's mansion, and Yang Ling happily moved in.
The three of them came outside Yang Ling's house and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened, and a young man with a beautiful face looked at them doubtfully,
"Xunjun Cheng?"
"Hello, brother Zilong, these two are my good friends, and they are also the military advisors under the lord's tent. Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao, Xi Zhicai."
Xun Yu smiled and greeted Zhao Yun,
"The three of us came here today to visit your eldest brother."
"Visiting my big brother?"
Zhao Yun hesitated, but still nodded and said,
"Please come in, three gentlemen."
The three of them followed Zhao Yun into Yang Ling's residence.
This is an extremely ordinary house. Apart from the courtyard and several houses, there is only a backyard.
"My eldest brother is busy making something in the backyard, I'm going to inform him right now."
Zhao Yun said.
Make something?
The three of them looked at each other.
"boom!"
At this moment, an explosion-like muffled sound came from the backyard.
Followed by an embarrassed figure, he stumbled out of the backyard.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Don't mention it, the stuff isn't ready yet."
Yang Ling said a little annoyed.
He had nothing to do these days, so he started tinkering with making wine.
As long as the liquor is made, even if he does not serve under Cao Cao in the future, he will be a happy businessman.
However, although he knew the process of brewing wine, he had never made it himself.
Accidentally, something went wrong during the distillation process, which made me very embarrassed!
While Yang Ling patted her clothes, her eyes fell on Xun Yu.
"Ah? Xunjun Cheng?"
Looking at Yang Ling with disheveled hair and dirt on his clothes, Guo Jia subconsciously looked towards Xi Zhicai.
The two of them looked at each other, feeling a little unsure. Could this... be the expert?
It doesn’t even look like it!
Xun Yu coughed lightly and laughed dryly,
"Hello sir, the three of us have taken the liberty to come here today, won't we disturb you?"
"No, no, if the county magistrate can come here, my humble abode will be full of glory!"
Yang Ling pretended to be flattered, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught the eyes of Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, both of whom were staring at him.
There was a thump in his heart, what is going on?
Why did Xun Yu and Guo Jia suddenly come to visit me today? Could it be that they discovered something?
He forced himself to calm down and led Xun Yu and the others to sit down in the hall.
"I don't know if the county magistrate and the two gentlemen are here. What are you doing?"
Yang Ling asked with a smile, pretending to be nothing.
"We were able to defend Puyang City a few days ago, all thanks to you, sir. We are here today to thank you."
Xi Zhicai suddenly spoke.
"Huh? What do you mean, sir?"
Yang Ling looked at him with confusion.
"Puyang City was able to be defended because of the credit of my second brother, Xunjun Cheng, and all the soldiers. What does it have to do with me?"
While Xun Yu and the others were staring closely at him, Yang Ling looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Xi Zhicai said.
Strange, is it really not him?
The three of them couldn't help but murmur.
Guo Jia thought for a while and chuckled,
"I just heard something moving in the backyard. I wonder what sir is doing?"
"To be honest, I'm studying winemaking."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
"Wine wine?"
"Yes, I am naturally timid and not very interested in fighting. So I am waiting to leave the army one day so that I can make a living selling wine."
Xun Yu frowned and said displeasedly,
"A man's ambition should be to pacify the world and settle the people. How can he become a businessman who values profits?"
"The county magistrate doesn't know. My biggest dream is to be a rich man with thousands of hectares of fertile land. I don't have any knowledge or skills on weekdays. When I have nothing to do, I lead a group of dog slaves to the streets to molest young girls from good families!"
Yang Ling retorted nonchalantly.
"Shameless! Forget it, there is no mutual agreement!"
Xun Yu was so angry that he threw his hands away, stood up and walked out.
When Guo Jiahe Xi Zhicai saw this, he had no choice but to apologize and leave helplessly.
Seeing the three people leaving, Yang Ling couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
There are ten thousand grass mud horses whizzing by in his heart!
How could he be discovered by Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and the others despite being so hidden.
It seems that the wisdom of the ancients has been underestimated!
But fortunately, it seemed that he had deceived the three of them with his actor-like acting skills!
Outside Yang Ling's residence.
"Brother Wenruo, brother Wenruo!"
Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai trotted all the way, and then they caught up with Xun Yu.
"You think, how can a person like this be an expert?"
Xun Yu said angrily.
"It seems our guess was wrong."
Xi Zhicai shook his head.
In their opinion, any person with lofty ideals, facing the chaos in the world, will have the idea of looking for a name to stabilize the world.
The hidden master was no exception.
And Yang Ling's idea was to become a businessman!
We must know that at that time, agriculture was emphasized and merchants were suppressed. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, the status of merchants was undoubtedly the lowest.
This is why Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai felt that Yang Ling could not be that expert.
Guo Jia felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and said,
"Forget it, let's just go back and search slowly."
…
After successfully passing the test, Yang Ling returned to the backyard to continue his brewing business.
After several more failures, he finally succeeded in brewing liquor!
"Come on, Zilong, taste it first."
Yang Ling waved to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun carefully took the wine glass, took a sip, and said slowly,
"This wine tastes good, but it's far worse than the Feitian Moutai that big brother brought out last time."
Yang Ling couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
nonsense.
Feitian Moutai is one of the best liquors in China in later generations. How can the liquor produced in this small workshop be comparable to it?
Yang Ling also took a glass and took a sip.
It tastes pretty good.
Although it is not as good as Feitian Moutai, it is already the best wine of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Just relying on this kind of wine, Yang Ling is very confident that he can make a lot of money in this world!
"Brother, since you plan to sell this kind of wine, do you want to give it a name?"
Zhao Yun asked.
"You are right!"
Yang Ling said without thinking,
"Let's call it Maotai!"
…
Seeing that it was still early, Yang Ling wandered to the prefect's mansion with a bottle of freshly brewed Moutai.
After some reporting, he successfully entered the lobby and met Cao Cao.
"Why are you so free today, why did you come all the way here?"
Cao Cao was very happy to see Yang Ling and quickly stood up to greet him.
