A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 25 Alcohol, Perfume
Shen An went out to do some shopping, and when he returned home, a bullock cart followed him.
The sun was setting in the west, shining slightly golden on the alley.
On several big trees, birds were chirping. They must have finished their day of foraging and were content to rest.
As soon as they arrived in the alley, Shen An saw Guoguo.
Guoguo sat on the steps in front of the door, holding her chin in her hands and staring blankly at the other side.
Huahua squatted beside her, but her reaction was not as quick as Guoguo's.
Guoguo slowly turned her head, and then a smile gradually began to bloom from the corners of her eyes and mouth...
"elder brother!"
She stood up abruptly from the steps and rushed over.
She staggered at her first step, but quickly stabilized her body, and then stumbled over.
Huahua followed her closely, and the fat on her body trembled with the rhythm of running.
Shen An squatted down with a smile, and then stretched out his hands.
Guoguo threw herself into his arms, then hugged his neck and complained: "Brother, I miss you."
Shen An hugged her up and said with a smile, "Brother misses you too."
"Little lady..."
Aunt Chen ran out anxiously and saw Shen An holding Guoguo, and then she said in fear: "I just went to move things, but when I turned around, the little lady was gone. She was frightened out of her soul."
Shen An said: "Be careful in the future."
Aunt Chen's heart trembled. She knew that Shen An was expressing dissatisfaction, so she said, "The slave family won't dare to do it next time."
Shen An asked someone to open the side door and remove the threshold, and then the bullock cart was driven in.
"Find someone to build another kitchen quickly."
There are all pots and pans on the car, especially a wooden pot lid that is very eye-catching, and the top is very pointed.
Finally, there were several large pockets. Yao Lian lifted them hard, but the pockets were unexpectedly light.
He staggered, took a step back, then steadied his body and asked, "Mr. Lang, I smell the fragrance."
This guy's skills are pretty good!
Shen An said: "They are dried flowers. Find a dry place to put them. I bought some charcoal and put them together with the dried flowers to prevent them from getting damp."
Those steamers were not light, but Yao Lian lifted them down easily.
These servants were still somewhat restrained, so no one dared to ask Shen An what he was doing with them.
Shen An paid the money for the bullock cart and said, "The craftsman said that I will have those things tomorrow. Remember to deliver them, and I will give you the money together with the money."
The coachman responded with a smile.
After he left, Shen An took out a pen and paper, called Mrs. Chen, drew something for her to see, and asked, "Is this possible?"
Aunt Chen saw that this thing was a little weird, with two covers and straps that stretched over her shoulders and back, so she said, "This is pretty simple..."
"Then make a few. Remember to make the stitches strong when sewing the straps so they don't break when you put them on."
Well……
Aunt Chen was a woman. She nodded when she heard the words, but there was an idea swirling in her mind.
——Why does this thing look so familiar?
She was sure she had never seen anything like this before, but it felt familiar.
Shen An coughed dryly and said, "That's it."
Aunt Chen's face suddenly turned red, then she looked at Shen An and said, "Lang Jun, this..."
She wanted to say that Shen An was not doing his job properly, but Shen An said calmly: "Just make some money to spend, remember not to leak it."
Aunt Chen went away with a red face.
The next day the coachman brought what Shen An wanted, as well as a lot of drinks.
The new kitchen is being built at a rapid pace.
Shen An started messing around with the old kitchen.
The pipe is made of a bamboo tube that is opened in the middle, and then connected to the steamer and the cooler in the middle, and finally a wine jar is placed underneath.
"let's start."
Zhuang Laoshi and Yao Lian were able to fully participate in Shen'an's great cause. Steam gradually rose, and most of it went from the pipe to the middle cooler.
"What does it smell like? It smells good."
Yao Lian sniffed and moved to the side of the steamer to smell.
"Twist a towel and put it on top."
Shen An felt that the speed was a little slow, so he asked someone to get a cold towel and put it on top of the cooler.
Gradually the smell of alcohol became stronger and stronger.
The bamboo tube on the wine jar gradually became moist, and then the first drop of wine dripped out.
There were more and more water droplets. Shen An waited for a while, then scooped some out and tasted it.
"It's not enough, I have to steam it twice."
Yao Lian salivated and said, "Lang Jun, wine tasting is a specialty in Bianliang City!"
Shen An nodded, Yao Lian scooped up a bowl and drank it in one gulp.
"ah……"
He frowned, then thought about it for a moment, and said, "Mr. Lang, what a strong drink."
Gradually, the smell of wine in the kitchen became stronger and stronger, and Zhuang Laoshi asked with some anxiety: "Langjun, this wine...do we want to sell it at home?"
Drinks in the Song Dynasty are exclusively sold, and only restaurants with licensing rights, such as Fanlou, have the right to wholesale.
But the Shen family doesn’t have a restaurant, so who can sell these spirits to?
Shen An shook his head but did not explain.
Guoguo was playing with Huahua outside, and Aunt Chen was taking care of her. Her seven-year-old son, Governor Zhou, was watching with envy, but he didn't dare to go over and play with Guoguo.
Shen An came out of the kitchen with a red face.
Later Zhuang Laoshi also came out. As soon as he came out, he supported the wall and said, "The villain is a little dizzy."
Yao Lian, who came out from behind, was not drunk. He grabbed Zhuang Laoshi and said, "The housekeeper is drunk. Go home quickly, lest your wife deal with you at night."
"elder brother."
Guo Guo smelled the strong smell of alcohol and frowned: "It stinks."
People are very simple when they are young, not only their thoughts, but also their five senses.
What alcoholics think is fine wine is rotten to a child's sense of smell.
Shen An smiled and said, "It smells bad now. Wait two days and I'll get something fragrant out."
"good!"
…
Shen An is very busy. He is busy using distillation to make essential oils. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
Two days later, Wang Tiande was invited to the Shen family.
There are only some simple tables and chairs at home, and everything looks very simple.
"I haven't moved here yet, so I'm being negligent."
Shen An spoke carelessly, but a little carelessly.
He took out a small porcelain bottle and put it on the table, then pushed it over.
The small porcelain bottle slid over, and Wang Tiande caught it and asked, "What is this?"
Shen An smiled and said, "Open it and smell it."
Wang Tiande felt that his trip was probably in vain.
He was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue struggling with Shen An or to withdraw altogether.
He also opened the stopper nonchalantly.
The stopper was very tight, which gave Wang Tiande a little more expectation, and then he was attacked.
A faint fragrance hit him.
I……
His face twitched, then he lowered his head, quickly brought the small porcelain bottle to his nose, and took a deep breath.
"Oh...this is...this is Rose Dew?"
"No, jasmine, and does rose dew have such a pure fragrance?"
Wang Tiande exposed his identity as a bumpkin in the perfume industry, and Shen An smiled even more kindly.
"how?"
It was as if he was asking his close companion.
Wang Tiande asked: "Who did it?"
Shen An's face was slightly cold and he said, "You can leave!"
Wang Tiande's temptation was pushed back hard. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm rude."
The perfume industry is different from cooking, and you can see the real effort right away.
The key is that Shen An did not agree to let him watch the entire production process, but was stiffly prepared to kick him out.
