Li Yunze smiled and said: "I've heard about the wine-making method. It's quite simple. I'll try it next year."
"Wow, Master, you can even make wine? Is there anything in the world that you can't do?"
Zhang Erqian looked at him with admiration, feeling that the master was so powerful and great.
"I won't do much more."
Li Yunze saw them chattering endlessly, and his face darkened, "Eat quickly! We have classes later."
The people who were talking instantly shut up.
After being quiet for a while, Zhang Erqian couldn't help but ask: "Master, we don't have grapes here, how can we make wine?"
Everyone also thought of this, right, how can we make wine if we don’t even have grapes?
Wencai said: "We used to have wild grapes in the mountains. I wonder if there are any here? When the weather gets warm after the new year, go look for them nearby."
Li Yunze didn't say anything, and after finishing the meal, he said to a few people: "Some time ago, I saw some wild grapes growing by the pool.
If we move to our valley next spring, we should be able to harvest the fruits in autumn. Then I will make wine for you to drink. "
Zhang Erqian asked excitedly: "Really? Master, let's move it back tomorrow? Only by putting it on our own site can we feel at ease. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well at night."
Li Yunze gritted his teeth and glanced at this apprentice who had many questions and talked a lot, "Erqian, I see you have such good energy. From now on, you will get up two-quarters of an hour early every day and run ten laps in the martial arts field."
Zhang Erqian's eyes widened and he shouted aggrievedly: "Master, which of your eyes can see that my energy has improved? I can't wake up every day because my elder brother beats me awake.
You asked me to get up two-quarters of an hour early to go for a run. Why are you so cruel? He didn't feel sorry for his apprentice at all. "
Ye Yutong, who had been listening to them, almost spit out the soup in his mouth.
Li Yunze's face darkened, and just when he was about to speak a lesson, he heard Ye Yutong cough violently.
Zhang Daqian saw his master's expression change and glared at his blind second brother.
Pulling his ears and training him: "Master tells you to get up early and run, so just run obediently and you dare to talk back."
Mao Dan and Dayuan also winked at him, telling him to stop. But Zhang Erqian didn't see what they meant at all?
He even forgot that his brother was twisting his ears, and asked them in confusion, "Why do you two keep blinking at me? Do you have eye cramps?"
The two of them glared at him angrily and turned away to ignore him.
Everyone at the two tables burst out laughing, and Ye Yutong laughed so hard that he was out of breath and even burst into tears.
Zhang Erqian is really a living treasure. He and Goudan were responsible for the jokes in this valley every day.
Wherever they are, they can make people laugh at any time.
Master Zhou suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth. Seeing that they had almost eaten, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "The time for class is coming soon. If we are full, let's go!"
"Yes, sir." Everyone finished the little bit left in their bowls, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and went to the classroom.
Zhang Erqian now knew that he had said the wrong thing. He glanced at the master secretly, and when he saw that his face looked better, he smiled and said, "Master, I'm going to class first."
Walking to the door of the kitchen, he turned back and asked hesitantly: "Master, I'm still young. If I don't sleep enough, I won't grow taller. Look at those ten laps. Can I run after lunch?"
"no."
Look at Zhang Erqian's downcast face.
Li Yunze suppressed his laughter and said expressionlessly: "This is your first offender, so I will punish you by running once tomorrow. If you are nagging again in the future, you will have to get up two-quarters of an hour every day and run."
"Yes, Master, please rest assured. My disciple will definitely control his mouth in the future, and he will never say anything that shouldn't be said out loud."
After saying that, he ran to the classroom, fearing that he would change his mind again.
Yongchang finished the bit of wine at the bottom of the bowl and said with a smile: "These brats are more selfish than the last."
Li Yunze also stood up, "Uncles, you eat slowly while I go to the classroom to take a look."
"Go ahead, those boys won't dare to make any small moves while you are there, otherwise Mr. Zhou won't be able to see those naughty boys by himself."
Li Yunze shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Uncle Yongchang, although the brothers are a little more lively, whether they are reading and writing, or practicing martial arts and riding horses, they are very serious and hardworking, so I don't need to keep an eye on them."
Yongchang said happily: "That's good, that's good. We are afraid that life is getting better now, and if those boys don't study hard, we really can't spare them."
They, the adults, are afraid that the children, seeing that they have food and drink now, will become unwilling to make progress and be like the young masters of the landlord's family who cannot endure hardships.
So he and Wencai often kept an eye on those boys and asked them to do any work, fearing that they would make these children lazy.
Li Yunze understood their worries and smiled to reassure them, "Uncle Yongchang, Uncle Wencai, don't worry, they are all obedient. If it's like what you said, I will punish them too."
How could he let these children become useless after he spent so much effort?
Even if there is no big future, it cannot be used by him. You must not become his enemy and hold him back.
Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "I think you two are overthinking it. Our children are so good! They are hard-working and able to endure hardships. They learn anything quickly. Even Master Zhou said that they are smart and hard-working. There will definitely be more children in the future." Promising."
"My mother-in-law is right, they will definitely be successful in the future." Li Yunze said with certainty.
After hearing what they said, Ye Yutong slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks and put on the rabbit fur scarf that her mother made for her.
Then he smiled and said to the people at the table: "Mom, Grandma Hu, Mistress, aunts, you eat slowly, I'm going to class."
"go quickly."
Li Wenxiu also gave her a brazier and asked her to take it to the classroom.
This brazier was made of stone slabs by Yongchang and Wencai. The little girls each had one. The boys had strong firepower, so they didn't have many preparations for them.
There are now five girls and twelve boys in their valley.
But regardless of whether they are big or small, they are reading, learning, practicing martial arts, and riding horses. Everyone is working hard to live.
One month passed in a flash, and they also ushered in their first New Year's Eve in Lingnan Mountain.
Li Yunze and Master Zhou gave the children three days off.
Although they didn't have to go to class, they still got up early and practiced martial arts, archery, and horseback riding as usual.
Early in the morning, Li Wenxiu and several women were busy in the kitchen.
Four pots were set up today, and the game hunted a few days ago was cooked in two pots. Put the dumplings in the other two pots.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong quietly left the valley.
They were going to bring out some fish and crabs to give everyone a change of taste, so they had to go out to show off.
Ye Mingxuan sent the two of them out and closed the heavy door.
Yongchang saw it and frowned, "It's so cold today, what are they doing out there?"
Ye Mingxuan smiled and said: "Uncle Yongchang, they are bored in the valley and want to go out for a walk. They will be back in a while. You don't have to worry."
Yongchang knew Ping An's ability, so he was not worried about their safety, but worried that the two children would be frozen.
It's been very cold these past two days, and it hasn't snowed. Now it seems that life down the mountain will be even worse next year.
He sighed, thinking about Shitou and Daming. He didn't know how the two brothers were doing now. Did they have anything to eat?
And Brother Dafeng, did he join the army under King Xia or under which vassal king? Can I have a full meal?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. This damn world really leaves no way for people to survive!
