Xujia Workshop, less than 300 meters away from Xu Mansion, is a place built on the edge of Beicheng in Zheyang County.
Xu Que didn't know what the original workshop looked like, but the current layout of the workshop was based on his design.
Looking at hundreds of large and small jars, Xu Que expressed his satisfaction. After all, he was going to prepare wine next.
"Young Master, everyone's arrangements have been made and they are having dinner now." A servant reported.
"Well, let them eat slowly, and I'll try it first."
As Xu Que asked someone to bring out a bag of cereus, he began to experiment with distiller's yeast.
Polygonum is a very strange grass. After being crushed, the juice has a certain bitter taste, but it is also very simple to handle, which is to control the fire at low temperature.
After all the juice came out, Xu Que began to add other things and stir.
Uncle Liu watched Xu Que take out the lumps one by one, and then he sniffed them and found that the smell was pretty good.
"Who is that? Come here." Xu Que waved to the servant standing outside.
The servant pointed at himself, then trotted to Xu Que.
"Take out the straw I asked you to prepare before, spread it on this thing, and then take it to the barn to ferment." Xu Que ordered.
As the servant came back with four bamboo sieves, Xu Que began to teach him how to arrange the koji.
"Young Master, is this the wine song you made?" Uncle Liu asked.
"Yeah, it's very simple." Xu Que said with a smile.
"It's quite simple..." Uncle Liu nodded.
In fact, he was very curious, could he make wine with this thing? But what to do with those purple seeds outside?
Before Uncle Liu could express his curiosity, Xu Que came to the middle of the workshop.
At this moment, the middle of the workshop was already filled with refugees. When they saw Xu Que and Uncle Liu approaching, they immediately stood up. After all, they had known the young master before entering the house.
"Everyone, from today on, you are members of my Xu family workshop. I will give you three taels of silver every month..."
Before Xu Que could finish his words, the refugees below instantly burst into an uproar.
"Three liang? Am I dreaming?"
"Three liang, I'm going to make a fortune!"
Just as the refugees were talking happily, Uncle Liu shouted loudly: "Quiet!"
Although Uncle Liu's voice was not loud, it was full of strength and instantly controlled the noisy scene.
Xu Que gave a thumbs up to Uncle Liu, then turned to the refugees and said: "From today on, whenever I am in a meeting, you all will shut up. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands to ask, but never Stop me!"
Although Xu Que was not angry, the tone of his words already contained some anger.
Seeing that the results were very good, Xu Que continued: "In addition to the money distributed every month, I will also provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation. If the product sales are good, I will also provide you with additional subsidies and benefits."
After hearing such good treatment, some people immediately shed tears. They did not dare to speak out, but the tears on their faces said everything.
Uncle Liu didn't expect that the young master would offer such a treatment before the wine was sold...
"First of all, I need to divide you into four groups. If you do a good job, I will promote some people. If you are found to be cheating, you will be kicked out of the workshop!"
As Xu Que distributed the tasks, the four groups of people were quickly divided.
"Uncle Liu, that's it for today. I'll leave the wine to you. I'll go back later and find three more exciting servants. I need them to learn how to make wine with me tomorrow."
"Okay, young master." Uncle Liu responded.
As Xu Que and Liu Bo left, the refugees returned to their workshop residence in groups.
…
In the main hall of Xu Mansion, just when Xu Que and Uncle Liu came back, Xu Maocai and Xu Fan also returned to the manor.
"Father, how's it going?" Xu Que asked.
"Brother Mo has already given me the news. I'm just waiting for your plan tomorrow." Xu Maocai replied.
"Great, I don't think he should die this time!"
Xu Que clapped his hands vigorously. He never expected that Governor Wang would not suspect...
In fact, Xu Quezhen was overthinking it. For a miser, ten thousand taels of gold was a sky-high price. Not to mention just one Zhou family, he could find a way to release it even for ten Zhou families.
"But Brother Mo said that we must prepare as soon as possible to avoid being noticed by them." Xu Maocai said.
"Yes." Xu Chuanmao nodded: "Don't worry, I will write a letter to Zu Daru when I get back soon."
"Okay, your eldest brother and I will go to Shanyu County tomorrow." Xu Maocai smiled, patted Xu Que on the shoulder, and then went into the back hall with Uncle Liu.
Xu Que, who had just returned to the study, was stunned by the scene in front of him...
"this……"
"Young Master is back. Madam asked me to prepare this for you." Hong'er explained with a smile.
Damn it, Xu Que, he almost fell to his knees...
In my heart, I call my mother mighty and domineering, what a powerful YYDS!
"Didn't you go out? Why did you come back so soon?" Huang Qianying slowly walked out of the master bedroom.
She was not interested in these things at all. She held a small pinch in her hand and kept rubbing the tool in her hand.
"I'm back to do something." Xu Que said casually: "Is this the valve installed on the closed loop?"
"Well, I understand the one you designed, but I think it's more convenient to change it to a button type." Huang Qianying said.
"Awesome!" Xu Que gave a thumbs up and sat down on the chair.
Xu Que really admired Huang Qianying. He actually wanted to design something electric, but he didn't have the facilities to generate electricity, so he could only design the closed-loop position as a rotating valve. Unexpectedly, Huang Qianying actually used another method to make it. out rolling push button valve.
Huang Qianying was a little proud when she heard Xu Que's praise. In fact, she really wanted to say that this thing was inspired by that pile of information.
Xu Que was not looking after the two girls. He had to write a letter to Master Zu Shanhe now. After all, Na He Yi's death was tomorrow, so he needed to send all the evidence to the Zu Mansion!
Xu Que wrote quickly, finished describing the main events, and wrote the date of the invitation to drink at the end.
As the dove slowly flew up and left the study, Huang Qianying looked at Xu Que. She was still very curious about Xu Que. At first, she thought that Xu Que was just a child at most, but after asking about it, she found out who Xu Que was. who is it!
"Master Xiucai, would you like to write a poem?"
Huang Qianying looked at Xu Que, gently tapped her right hand in the bag, and a small piece of fine cloth appeared in her hand.
"What poem do you want?"
Xu Que watched Huang Qianying wiping the valve in her hand. He was curious as to how the other party's bag could hold so many things in such a small bag.
Huang Qianying stopped, put all the items into the bag, and thought for a moment: "Let's use this as the theme of spring, how about it?"
"Okay." Xu Que said, "But can you show me your bag?"
"You mean this Qiankun bag?" Huang Qianying took off the bag and threw it to Xu Que: "This thing is a storage bag refined by the demon clan. If you like it, I will give you one."
"Is it valuable?" Xu Que looked at the bag curiously.
"A hundred taels of gold each." Huang Qianying replied.
After hearing the price of one hundred taels of gold, Xu Que said decisively: "Can you buy two for me? I may need more in the future."
"Yes, we just need to wait for the demon merchants to pass by Zheyang County."
Xu Que looked at Huang Qianying curiously: "How do you know they will pass by here?"
"This is Zheyang, not the capital. Based on the driving time of the demon tribe, they will pass by the county in half a month. As for why I know, you will naturally understand when you go to buy their things!" Huang Qianying explained.
"That's it..." Xu Cao nodded, but after hearing what Huang Qianying said, he really wanted to see what the demon clan looked like.
"Are you writing poetry anymore?" Huang Qianying asked with some dissatisfaction.
Xu Que returned the bag to Huang Qianying: "Do it, of course I do it. The beauties have already spoken, how can I not do it!"
