Chapter 28

The steward of the winery, surnamed Sun, has been with the Cheng family for more than ten years. When he heard that Cheng Chumo was coming, he hurried out to greet him.

Manager Sun said with a smile, "Did Lang run out of wine today?"

Cheng Chumo often comes to get drinks, he has long been used to it.

Cheng Chumo pointed to Lin Xuan and said, "Uncle Sun, I came here today to do something. From now on, everyone in the wine shop will listen to him. This is my father's order."

Although Guanshi Sun didn't understand, he knew that Cheng Chumo would not lie to him about this kind of thing, so he said with a smile: "Since it is the master's order, the old slave will definitely follow it, and you can just give me any orders."

"Uncle Sun, you're welcome. I just need an empty space. I don't have any other requirements." Lin Xuan said.

Shopkeeper Sun nodded and said, "There are still some vacant places. I'll take you to have a look. If you're not satisfied, I'll change it for you."

A group of people followed Shopkeeper Sun into the winery, and led by Shopkeeper Sun to a small courtyard. Shopkeeper Sun looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Is the young master satisfied here?"

Lin Xuan looked it over, the small courtyard is not big, it looks like dozens of square meters, and there are a few rooms, I don't know what it is for.

Distilled wine can be made in the yard, and it doesn't take up much space, but it is enough.

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "That's enough, please trouble shopkeeper Sun."

"This is what I should do. I wonder if the young master needs manpower?" Shopkeeper Sun asked.

"No need, I can do it myself." Lin Xuan shook his head and said.

"Then I won't bother you." After finishing speaking, shopkeeper Sun bowed silently to Cheng Chu and left.

When there were only four people in Lin Xuan left in the courtyard, Cheng Chu asked in a puzzled manner, "If we don't need people, can we do it ourselves?"

Yuchi Baolin and Li Deju also looked at Lin Xuan with some doubts.

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "The people in the wine shop are all good families, what if the method is leaked, don't you have domestic servants in your family, just let them do it."

China has long been freed from slavery, but in ancient times there were still many people who were forced to live and sold themselves as slaves.

If you sell yourself as a slave, you will become a slave. Life and death are decided by the master, and there are very few domestic slaves who betray the master.

The method of distilling alcohol is very simple, and only the servants can rest assured.

Cheng Chumo complained, "Then why didn't you say it earlier, I'll send someone back to call a hundred house slaves over now."

"Chu Mo, leave the matter of the slaves to us, and we will send people back immediately." Yuchi Baolin and Li Dezhen said hastily.

The wine shop was provided by the Cheng family, and the two of them didn't sell anything, so I felt very embarrassed.

"Wait, there is still a lack of tools. It is useless for you to call people. Besides, you won't need so many people." Lin Xuan hurriedly stopped.

"Then what should we do now?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"Wait until the craftsmen make what I need before I can get the wine out." Lin Xuan said.

The four of them were smoking in the yard, chatting and waiting for the craftsman to come over.

Cheng's mansion was not far from the winery, and not long after, Cheng Chumo's entourage brought over a dozen craftsmen with graying hair and beards.

The craftsman hurriedly saluted Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chumo waved his hand, pointed at Lin Xuan and said, "You all follow his orders, do whatever he tells you to do."

Lin Xuan described the principle and requirements of the distiller to them, and asked, "Can the old man make it?"

The leading craftsman said hesitantly: "There should be no problem in making it, but I don't know if it meets the requirements of the young master."

"Try to make a set first, and if it doesn't work, just change it. How long will it take to make it?" Lin Xuan said.

"It's not complicated, it can be made tomorrow," said the craftsman.

"Which of you is the best carpenter?" Lin Xuan asked.

An old man over [-] years old said: "The old carpenter's skills are not bad, the young master can just give orders."

Lin Xuan described the wheelchair to him and asked, "Can it be made?"

"This thing is simple, and it can be made tomorrow." The old man said.

"Use good wood and wrap the wheels with leather. Are you sure it can be made tomorrow?" Lin Xuan said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely make it for you tomorrow." The old man was a little unhappy when his professionalism was questioned, but Cheng Chumo told them to follow Lin Xuan's arrangement, so he was not easy to get angry.

Lin Xuan nodded and sent them off to work without saying anything.

Cheng Chumo and the others didn't understand what Lin Xuan said, so they didn't interrupt. When Lin Xuan finished his work, Cheng Chumo asked, "Are you all right today?"

"Well, we have to wait for them to make things." Lin Xuan nodded and said.

Cheng Chumo put his arm around Lin Xuan's shoulder and said, "Since it's all right, how about we go to Mingyue Pavilion for a drink?"

"Forget it, I won't go." Lin Xuan shook his head.

Of course he knew about Mingyue Pavilion, it was the largest brothel in Chang'an, although he was also a little moved to see it.

But thinking that I was only 14 years old, I couldn't do anything when I went there, and I still got angry, so I refused.

"Brother Lin, you are not embarrassed." Yuchi Baolin teased.

Li Dezhen said with a smile: "I think Brother Lin has never been there before."

"No, Lin Xuan, have you ever been to a brothel?" Cheng Chumo said with a strange smile.

A group of perverts, everyone is so excited when it comes to brothels.

"Of course I've been there!" Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't admit that he hadn't been to a brothel. In ancient times, he said that he had never been to a brothel, just like modern times said that I couldn't do it.

"Since you have been there, what are you afraid of?" Cheng Chumo said.

"I still have things to do, it won't be too late after we get the wine out." Lin Xuan said with an excuse.

"Since that's the case, after the wine is made, Brother Lin must give you face." Yuchi Baolin said.

"Definitely." Lin Xuan said.

Let's get past the present first, and then talk about what to do in the future. If you really can't refuse, then you can only do as the Romans do.

……

"Zhijie, don't you always think about my wine? Why don't you drink it now?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Because of discussing the matter of winter hunting, Li Shimin left his confidants to eat in the palace.

Normally, if Cheng Yaojin caught such an opportunity, he would definitely drink it vigorously, and would take some from him when he left, but today Cheng Yaojin didn't drink a cup, which surprised Li Shimin.

Li Jing and the others felt that the imperial wine was boring, but they still drank some pretendingly.

Only Cheng Yaojin didn't drink at all.

"Your Majesty, I'm not feeling well today, so I can't drink." Cheng Yaojin said.

Since drinking Lin Xuan's wine yesterday, he can't drink it now.

"Speak human!" Li Shimin rolled his eyes, he didn't believe Cheng Yaojin's nonsense at all, he didn't know what Cheng Yaojin was like.
