Chapter 23 Don’t get me wrong, I am really a JAN merchant
When Lao Zhou left the Lin family, he was ordered by his wife to go to the capital to smoothen relations and rescue Lin Dingnan. He found more than a dozen high-ranking officials. He spent all the money but nothing was left, and nothing was done. Lao Zhou had scars from dog bites on his body. Tired and begging all the way, I just returned to Haining.
Lin Su values such loyal people very highly.
Therefore, he planned to give Lao Zhou the most critical errand.
Make wine!
Liquor koji, steamed sweet rice, these matters are all entrusted to Lao Zhou. Lin Su has no secrets...
What about himself? Sitting on the recliner made by Lao He, he taught Xiao Tao arithmetic.
Xiao Tao probably had the grand goal of becoming a bed-warming girl, so she studied very seriously, and she had been managing Lin Zhai's money for a long time, so she had some foundation. Therefore, under Lin Su's guidance, she made rapid progress, within ten She can do additions and subtractions, even double-digit additions and subtractions, without having to calculate.
As for the multiplication table, she memorized it for several days and memorized it. Mother Lin said that this girl was crazy and even recited the formula in her dreams.
The direct consequence is that an arithmetic genius (of course by this world's standards) is rising in Lin's house...
He arranged everything in an orderly manner. The second eldest son, Lin Jialiang, would torment him whenever he had nothing to do. He would teach him the information left by Zhang Haoran every day. Lin Su finally understood the relevant situation of the provincial examination.
The date for the rural examination has been set, June 18th.
Exactly forty days ago.
Although there is no sign indicating the countdown to the college entrance examination, the second child is a humanoid reminder to tell the time every morning. Third brother, there are still ** days left...
When the scientific examination reminded that there were thirty-eight days left, Lao Zhou came in: "Sir, everything is ready, you can start!"
"Okay!" Lin Su jumped up.
Lin Jialiang's eyes also shone: "Can we make wine?"
"Walk!"
When the two brothers walked into the backyard, Lao Yiyi pulled Lao He and said, "Guard the courtyard door, no one is allowed in."
"Know!"
Lao He was guarding the entrance of the courtyard, and Xiao Wu actually climbed up a big tree outside the courtyard wall. They even had knives on their waists.
Holy shit!
Lin Su sighed and started making wine.
The fire was lit, the prepared koji was mixed with the twice-steamed sweet rice, and put into the still that was used for the first time. As the temperature increased, a fragrance emanated from the yard.
This is a fragrance that has never been seen in this world.
Lin Jialiang kept sniffing: "Third brother, why does it smell so fragrant? Is this the fragrance of the sweet rice itself or..."
"This is what wine tastes like! Done!"
"Is it really done? Where's the wine?"
"look!"
In the direction of Lin Su's finger, a line of clear spring flowed out of the iron pipe. It was a little bit at first, but later it merged into a trickle, getting faster and faster.
Lin Su picked up the small ladle, scooped out a little, and tasted it. He closed his eyes. It was good, fragrant, even more fragrant than in that world. Perhaps it was because of the raw materials. The sweet rice itself had fragrance, so it was necessary to Otherwise, the flowers for making essence won’t bloom, right?
This kind of wine is good wine in that world, let alone here?
Lin Jialiang took the ladle from him and took a sip. After taking this sip, his face suddenly turned red and he shouted: "Good wine!"
"Lao Zhou, you try too!"
Lao Zhou was originally the person next to Lin Dingnan. He could be said to have seen big events. He had drank countless good wines. After taking a small sip, his eyes suddenly bulged and his face instantly flushed. He raised his ladle and drank a little bit. Nothing left.
He opened his mouth, and a breath of wine came out: "Good wine! How can it be so good? I can't describe it. Master, this wine shouldn't be a mortal thing..."
"Isn't this like the mortal world? Haha, you will be surprised sometimes in the future!" Lin Su patted him on the shoulder: "After completing the original procedure, I have to make some arrangements... By the way, this wine It’s extremely strong, you two, don’t drink too much, otherwise it won’t be fun when you’re drunk.”
"Understand, this wine is so precious. It is a great blessing to have a sip. I will never dare to take another sip."
"That's not what I mean! I'm just afraid that you guys will get drunk. As for the wine, what does it matter if you brew it yourself? You can drink as much as you can."
Lin Su walked out of the backyard, and Xiao Yao came over: "Brother, when will the hot pot you mentioned be made?"
"I said, do you have any potential? You just want to eat? There is nothing I can do about hot pot because I can't find chili. Hot pot without chili has no soul. It's better not to eat it!... Go and call me Xiaoxue. Come!"
Xiaoyao ran quickly to the lady's side and shouted directly: "Sister Xiaoxue, Third Young Master asked you to come over quickly."
Xiaoxue and Madam looked at each other.
"Go ahead."
Xiaoxue entered the west courtyard and bowed to Lin Su: "Master, what are your orders?"
"Xiaoxue, there are more than 100,000 refugees on the river bank. They are living a very hard life. There is something that can change their fate. You go back and do something..."
Xiaoxue's heart was pounding: "Master, do you really want to buy a large amount of rice?"
"yes!"
"Madam...will Madam agree?"
"of course!"
Xiaoxue suddenly knelt down and knelt down hard.
"What are you doing?"
Xiaoxue raised her head: "Young Master, I know you don't like others to kneel down, but this time, I must kneel down once. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of refugees in Baijiyuan, I want to thank you for your great kindness..."
Lin Su pulled her up: "Xiaoxue, you are from the Lin family, and I won't hide it from you. The purchase of sweet rice is not purely to help the refugees. This thing can be exchanged for ten times and a hundred times the wealth in my hands. Let's This is business, not charity..."
ah? Is it true? Xiaoxue looked up in surprise.
"Believe me, I can do all the good deeds on my own. I am responsible for the JAN business, and she is responsible for charity. Mother and son will work together to achieve both fame and fortune..."
