On the Jiangnan side, there are far fewer people who are good at wine or spirits than in the north.
But there are still.
After Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen left from the prefect of Hexing Mansion, they went to a retired official's mansion in Hexing Mansion.
That person didn't want to see a junior like Zheng Yi either. Zheng Yi was not surprised. He smiled, and then took out a small jar of wine and gave it to the servant who came to pass the message: "Since Mr. Shao is very busy, let's go back first. That's it. This is the wine that my Zheng family found the recipe from an ancient book and finally brewed it, and I invite Master Shao to taste it."
The wine jar that Zheng Yi gave was really small and looked ordinary. He kept smiling and it was hard to refuse it. The servant who came to pass the message thought about it and accepted it.
Seeing that the servant was closed, Zheng Yi smiled again, turned around and left.
When Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen went out, they brought a total of a dozen small jars. They first gave away a few jars like this, and then they went to meet some people who have a good relationship with the Zheng family, sent out a few jars again, and exchanged a few words. .
Only after the eight jars of wine were delivered, it was almost dark.
The traffic at this time was really inconvenient, and everything was slow... Jiang Zhen sighed secretly, and went home soon.
When Jiang Zhen returned, Zhao Jinge was feeding Zhao Mingzhu.
Although Jiang Zhen loves Zhao Mingzhu very much, Jiang Zhen has not gone out less often before, and the one who accompanies her the most is Zhao Jinge, Zhao Mingzhu is the closest to Zhao Jinge.
However, when she saw Jiang Zhen who would play with her in various ways, she was inevitably excited, and when she opened her hand, she wanted Jiang Zhen to hug her.
"Dad's baby pearl!" Jiang Zhen hugged his daughter and kissed her hard.
Probably because Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge were both there, Zhao Mingzhu didn't cry because she didn't adapt to another place, but she was a little too excited.
Zheng Yi decorated the room they lived in very beautifully. She thought everything looked good. She played with this for a while, but she refused to go to bed on time. Fortunately, she was still young and couldn't hold it for too long. Suddenly, he fell down and fell asleep.
"This child." Jiang Zhen carried him into the bed, and then went to wash with Zhao Jinge.
"Jiang Zhen, I want to buy a piece of land near Fucheng," Zhao Jinge said suddenly, "I asked Madam Zheng about it, and I have already found a suitable piece of land."
"Buy land? Why did you suddenly think of buying land?" Jiang Zhen looked at Brother Zhao Jin in surprise.
"I want to build a brick kiln here." Zhao Jinge said, and added: "The piece of land I want to buy is a hill. I think a brick kiln can be built at the bottom of the mountain. On the mountain, chickens and ducks can be raised. This side of Fucheng The price of chickens and ducks is more expensive than Hecheng County, and it should be able to make money."
Zhao Jinge has been thinking about becoming more powerful these days, but he doesn't know much, and the only things he can think of to do are those he has come into contact with, such as building brick kilns, and raising chickens and ducks.
Their chickens and ducks in Hexi Village are now raised by hired people. Although they are all provided to the escort, they can't see the profit, but Zhao Jinge has calculated that if all those chickens, ducks and eggs are sold, they will definitely be able to make money. .
Now, he is thinking about doing the same in Zaifucheng.
"My brother Jin is trying to make money?" Jiang Zhen looked at Brother Zhao Jin with a smile.
"Well." Zhao Jinge nodded. In fact, he not only wanted to make money, but also wanted to exercise himself.
He knew that many of the things Jiang Zhen asked him to do before were to train him, but now, he wants to take the initiative to improve himself.
Brother Zhao Jin looked serious, and Jiang Zhen asked, "You have a good idea, can you do it alone?"
"Yes." Zhao Jinge said immediately.
"Then it's up to you to do this. Just tell me how much you want." Jiang Zhen said.
Whether it is a brick kiln or raising chickens and ducks, the investment is not large. He thinks that he can let Zhao Jinge try it. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it fails, it will be fine.
With Jiang Zhen's consent, Zhao Jinge thought about what he would do next.
To build a brick kiln, you must transfer people from Hexi Village. Then you have to think about who is better to come over. It is also good to raise chickens and ducks. Then, after the bricks are burned, how will they be shipped and sold, and how will the chickens and ducks be fed and sold? Consider these too...
The more Zhao Jinge thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't sleep.
At first, he was worried about waking Jiang Zhen, even if he couldn't fall asleep, he would not move, but after thinking that Jiang Zhen should have fallen asleep, he couldn't help but start to roll over.
He thought about all kinds of things, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became, but suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the scene where Jiang Zhen was taken away.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhen is still lying beside him now... Zhao Jinge slowly leaned over, lay next to Jiang Zhen, and kissed Jiang Zhen again.
Jiang Zhen: "..." Even after staying up in the middle of the night to seduce himself...
Originally, because Zhao Mingzhu shared a bed with them, Jiang Zhen didn't plan to do anything, but now... He couldn't help himself for not cleaning up people.
Zhao Jinge was pressed by Jiang Zhen, afraid that he would wake up his daughter and grit her teeth, so she didn't make any sound, but when it was over, she suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Zhen nibbled at him.
"You forgot to pull it out." Zhao Jinge said, Jiang Zhen was very careful before, and he would quit early before the end, but not this time.
"If you are pregnant, you will bring your own baby when you have a baby, and I will be just like Zheng Yi, and I will not care about anything." Jiang Zhen took another bite of Zhao Jinge and said with a smile.
It's not that he doesn't want children, doesn't he feel that raising children is too tiring and has too much to worry about
Last night, Jiang Zhen also shouted for Zhao Jinge to take care of the children, but he didn't care. The next day, he took the initiative to take care of Zhao Mingzhu, and then let Zhao Jinge go out to buy land to build a brick kiln.
Because of this, he specially greeted Zheng Yi, saying that he couldn't follow him to deliver wine - in fact, this matter would have no effect without him.
As a result, after Jiang Zhen didn't go, Zheng Yi didn't go to deliver wine at all. He only asked his wife to bring some of the past to the Hu family, and asked the Hu family to send them away, and then brought a craftsman who specializes in building gardens for people. I found Jiang Zhen and drew the construction drawings of Qingfeng Tower together.
Jiang Zhen didn't know much about the architecture of this era, but some of his ideas were very novel, but he made the craftsman nod frequently, and Zheng Yi also admired it: "I don't know how long your head is, but you can come up with it. So many things to come."
"I'm just lucky." Jiang Zhen said, if he hadn't crossed over and stayed in the modern age, he would have nothing but force.
He is very lucky to be able to come here to settle down, but if he wants his luck to continue to be good, he has to work hard.
Jiang Zhen was busy communicating with Zheng Yi and the craftsman, so he inevitably ignored Zhao Mingzhu. Zhao Mingzhu hummed in dissatisfaction immediately. Jiang Zhen stopped talking and coaxed his daughter.
Zheng Yi was already accustomed to all this, but the craftsman could not react when he saw this scene.
He has never seen a man who loves children so much!
When Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen were taking their children to draw drawings at home, the prefect of Hexing Mansion kept wandering around in their home.
After tasting the jar of wine sent by Zheng Yi yesterday, he was overwhelmed by the wonderful taste of the wine.
There was only a little bit of wine in total. He originally wanted to keep it and drink it slowly, but he couldn't help it...
He locked the wine, but wanted to take a sip, took a sip, and finally reopened the lock and took a sip.
One sip in a while, another sip in a while... The wine in the small jar the size of a palm was completely eaten by him in no time.
If this is some kind of treasure, it's fine after drinking it. He can't think about it at most, but he can't hold it back... He knows that the Zheng family has this wine!
Although Mr. Zheng Er is an official in Beijing, he, the prefect, is also respected by the Zheng family. As long as he speaks, can Zheng Yi not give him a drink
But if he had a close relationship with Zheng Yi, this... that Zhou Qin messenger is still there!
This kind of tangle is not only the prefect of Hecheng County.
A few other good wine people who were deliberately given wine by Zheng Yi are all the same as the prefect at the moment. .
However, the Zheng family has no place to sell this wine at all.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back, found Zheng Yi, and proposed to buy some.
"My Zheng family also brewed a batch of this wine. After I kept some, the rest will be sent to the capital and dedicated to the queen mother..." Zheng Yi looked at the people in front of him with embarrassment: "If the second batch is to be formed, it is estimated that it will take a few months. Everyone... Do you want to wait?"
The expression of the person who came to ask for a drink suddenly froze.
The wine has been sent to the queen mother, they can't have any opinions, they can only drink it.
But... After this was no longer needed, they thought about it even more!
After leaving Zheng Yi's place, these people immediately began to inquire, and after inquiring, they knew that Zheng Yi had actually sent out a total of about 20 jars of wine before, and most of the wine had been given away. The Hu family, and the Hu family forwarded a few altars to others.
After learning about this, someone went to Hu's house immediately.
In this world, not everyone is good at drinking. In Zheng Yi's Yue family and Hu family, no one is good at drinking. Even if they usually drink some wine, it is just for fun. Therefore, when Zheng Yi sent the wine, no one was there at first. Seriously, even because I think the wine is too strong, I don't like it very much.
As a result, after only a few days of work, someone came to buy wine...
This looks inconspicuous, and the wine that is still unpleasant to drink is so valuable
The Hu family was startled, and then decisively felt something.
The people who came to buy wine had a lot of background, and they naturally sold it. Then, they quickly gave away the rest of the wine, all of which were given to those who were not good at wine.
When someone came to buy wine, they informed those people that the wine had been given away by them.
Those people can only ask for wine from the person who received the wine from the Hu family.
As a result, there will naturally be more and more people who know that someone is looking for a good wine everywhere, and the reputation of the Zheng family's Qingfeng wine quickly spread among the upper circles of Hexing House.
In fact, not everyone likes to drink, but rich people sometimes drink, and what they drink is not whether they like it or not, but a reputation.
The Zheng family's Qingfeng wine suddenly became famous and was highly praised by others. Everyone was naturally curious, but they couldn't drink it... Wouldn't it be uncomfortable like scratching the lungs
At this time, the Zheng family bought a piece of land in Fucheng and started to build the Qingfeng Building. At the same time, Zhao Jinge also bought a piece of land to build a brick kiln.
Zhao Jinge found some people who had learned how to burn bricks from Hexi Village, and built the brick kiln in a short time. As soon as the brick kiln was built, big business came to the door - Zheng Yi wants to build Qingfeng Building, but it needs a lot of blue bricks. !
However, the brick kilns were built very quickly, and raising chickens and ducks was not so fast.
The first is that there are not enough manpower, and the second is that there are not enough chickens and ducks—it is winter, and when there is no artificial incubation, chickens and ducks will not brood in winter, and chickens will lay fewer eggs.
Zhao Jinge was very busy, and by the way, he helped Jiang Zhen deal with some matters of Jin Zhen's escort bureau, and finally made a little reputation in Fucheng.
As for Jiang Zhen... He takes Zhao Mingzhu with him every day. At this moment, Zhao Mingzhu's closest person has become him.
After such a busy life, it will be New Year's Eve.
Last year, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge stayed in Fucheng for a few days, and they didn't go back until the New Year's Day. This year is the same. I don't know if it was a coincidence. .
Last year, the Zhao family got some fish, and this year, after catching the fish, Jiang Ping asked Zhao Fugui to pick it first, and he kept asking Zhao Fugui to take back some more.
The Zhao family built a wharf in Hexi Village, which benefited everyone in the village. This year, the people of Hexi Village basically worked in the Zhao family for a long time or a short time, and also made some money. Let them all have a good year.
Under such circumstances, they naturally didn't mind the Zhao family taking more fish to eat.
"There are only a few people in my family, how can I eat so many fish? A few fish are enough." Zhao Fugui declined, and finally picked a little of each type of fish.
"We caught a lot of fish this year, and you have a lot of people on the pier. Get more." Jiang Ping said again. In order to thank the Zhao family, they deliberately caught more fish.
"Why don't we do this? Send more fish to the cafeteria to find someone to do it, so that the children studying in the school and those who work on the wharf have a bowl of fish soup." Zhao Fugui finally took the lead. .
When Jiang Zhen came back, he saw the people on the pier, all drinking fish soup.
In winter, the fish tastes the best. There is no muddy smell in the fish. Even if you don't add any seasonings, it is delicious when you eat it directly.
The fish soup is made of big fish. The fish with many bones on the back of the fish is cut into thin slices for later use. The fish maw, fish bones and fish head are fried in oil for a while, then add water and boil for a while. Put in the tofu, and finally put the most easily cooked fish fillets in...
Bowls of fish soup were quickly brought out.
Children are easily caught by the bones when eating fish. The fish soup given to them is only the meat of the fish belly. In the winter, they are very happy to have a bowl of hot fish soup to drink.
The education of the girls and Shuang'er in the village was given to Liu Qianqian and others who worked in Qingfeng Building. Liu Qianqian came to be a gentleman on this day. As a female gentleman, the person who distributed the fish soup finally gave it to her. A full bowl.
Liu Qianqian was happily drinking the fish soup when she suddenly heard someone shout, saying that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge had returned.
The students in the academy didn't care about class for a while, and ran to the dock one after another, not to mention the people from Jin Zhen's escort bureau, no matter what they were doing before, they are looking forward to it now.
It was not the first time that Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge saw this scene, but they had never been so lively before, and they were stunned for a while.
Immediately, I felt better.
