Scholars unparalleled

The scholars who stopped outside and looked at the wooden sign in front of them all had uncertain faces, and some of them had already quietly left at this time.

Knowing that this is totally beyond their reach, why should they waste their time here?

However, this incident was really embarrassing, and he ran here excitedly, wanting to suppress Lu Chensheng in one fell swoop, so as to show his reputation in front of the emperor.

Right now, he didn't even see Lu Chensheng's face, and was stopped by the other party's online link.

This is simply a disgrace to them, and it embarrasses the face of all their scholars!

So many people!

It happened that he couldn't even come up with a second couplet. In other words, Lu Chensheng had overwhelmed the crowd, so it was embarrassing no matter what he thought.

When the night fell, some scholars, no matter how unwilling, were helpless at this moment.

By this time, they still had no idea about the second line, so they had no choice but to leave in despair.

After going back, I thought about how to deal with this, and decided not to be blocked by the opponent's Shanglian!

Chapter 60 Grapes

The next day, Lu Chensheng took Chuwu to Fufeng City.

Shouyue followed, mainly because he was worried about any danger, and it would be better if Shouyue took care of him.

After coming to Fufeng City, Lu Chensheng found the tooth shop.

The dental shop here also serves as a matchmaker, and Lu Chensheng doesn't know which craftsmen are willing to sell themselves, so it is more convenient to find this dental shop.

After Lu Chensheng explained the purpose of coming, the work in the dental shop suddenly became energetic.

Judging by Lu Chensheng's appearance, the possibility that the other party will make a deal is high, so he hurriedly took Lu Chensheng to the craftsman's house.

"Old Zhou! I brought you a nobleman!"

Before the man reached the door, he yelled at a dilapidated house from a distance.

A middle-aged man came out of the room. Although he looked like a middle-aged man, he looked a little older.

"You bastard, how come you have time to come to me."

The two seemed to know each other. The man named Lao Zhou saw the buddy and immediately responded.

The clerk laughed when he heard the words, and pointed to Lu Chensheng who was beside him, "Young master wants to buy some craftsmen back home. I don't think you had such an idea before?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhou's face immediately became slightly happy, and he slightly cupped his hands at Lu Chensheng, "I don't know, my lord, how long did you buy it for?"

This is also divided into time, some for a few years, and some for a lifetime.

If it is for life, you need to take out eight taels of silver directly, and after handing it over to the other party's family, the craftsman will also have a list of money every month. In addition, the corvee on the government side also needs to be paid by the master himself.

"Just for life."

lifelong!

Hearing this, Lao Zhou felt even happier. Once it becomes his own family, he will have a fortune, and his son will also have money to take his wife in the future.

"Okay, then why do we go to the government to sign the paper?"

"Wait a minute, I still need a few craftsmen, and I also need to see your craftsmanship, do you have any finished furniture or something?"

The carpenter's craftsmanship also needs to be tested.

Although Lu Chensheng sympathized with the status of these craftsmen, he couldn't be sloppy in building a dock and shipbuilding.

Hearing this, Lao Zhou nodded quickly, feeling that it was reasonable, and quickly showed some of his furniture to Lu Chensheng.

Most of the furniture in the carpenter's house is made by himself.

Lu Chensheng took a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the craftsmanship, he went to meet the other craftsmen.

These craftsmen all know each other, and Lao Zhou on the side also helped introduce a few friends with excellent craftsmanship.

"I have been working with them for more than ten years. In Fufeng City, there are not many who can compare with them."

These are the original words of Lao Zhou. After hearing this, Lu Chensheng nodded in satisfaction after seeing the mortise and tenon joints they made on the spot.

After giving the guy some copper coins as an introduction fee, Lu Chensheng led the guy to the Yamen.

This kind of prostitution needs to go through the government.

With Liu Wensheng present, this procedure was much simpler. When the afternoon was approaching dusk, all the procedures for building the dock were completed properly.

Sure enough, there are people in the yamen, and it is extremely convenient to do things.

After the craftsmen handed over the money they got to their families, they followed Lu Chensheng back to Taohuawu.

There are also several wing rooms in Taohuawu, where these craftsmen can sleep together.

However, after these craftsmen came to Taohuawu, they said that they would build a wooden house next to Lu Chensheng.

According to the rules, they are already servants now, and this house cannot be in the same attic as the master's house.

Only by living separately can there be a difference in dignity.

Lu Chensheng is also left to them, after all, this room is really not enough.

After setting up the carpenters, Lu Chensheng began to fiddle with his own high-purity alcohol, and hired some people to start picking peach blossoms.

A jar of wine was sent to Lu Chensheng's residence, and using the made distillation device, Lu Chensheng began to experiment.

As far as this device is concerned, Uncle Lin really has a hand. Although it cannot be compared with later generations, it is already very good in this era, and the airtightness is also very good.

The things that carpenters sometimes make, even Lu Chensheng, who came from later generations, look a little miraculous.

There is a raging fire burning underneath, and the air is filled with a trace of wine fragrance.

"On the fifth day of the lunar new year, are there grapes for sale outside in summer?"

If there are grapes, the grapes can be used to make wine at that time. Lu Chensheng was very idle before, and he made wine himself, and the process is not complicated.

Moreover, if brewed well, the taste is indeed very unusual.

Chu Wu nodded quickly when he heard the words, "Yes, but the price is very expensive and some of them are broken."

"broken?"

Lu Chensheng looked at Chu Wu suspiciously.

"Yes, grapes are a specialty of Da Cang Kingdom. The mountain road between Da Cang Kingdom and our Jiang Country is extremely rugged. In addition, the grapes will not bear fruit until summer. Every time they are ripe and transported to our Jiang Country, it is almost Gone bad.

And this kind of fruit, even if it is broken, is not something ordinary people can afford. "

When Chu Wu said this, Lu Chensheng immediately understood.

"These people didn't think of a way to find a better way to transport the grapes?"

"The best way is the waterway, that is the Yunjiang River, but along the way along the Yunjiang River, there are some places where the water flow is extremely fast. I heard that there are countless boats broken in the Yunjiang River, let alone the number of people who drowned. "

There is a waterway to go, it is not too difficult.

Listening to this, Lu Chensheng felt slightly relaxed.

The current is dangerous, and it will be no problem to get some ships with watertight cabins to go there.

Having seen Uncle Lin's craftsmanship, it is not difficult to build this watertight vessel.

"Young Master, do you want to eat these grapes?"

Seeing Lu Chensheng asked about this on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he asked curiously.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "Well, it's mainly used to brew some wine, and I think it can be sold at a good price."

Chu Wu pursed her lips slightly when she heard that, she had never guessed what her young master was thinking.

The alcohol was distilled a few times, and Lu Chensheng sniffed it lightly. He felt that the fragrance was enough, but he didn't know the taste inside.

Shou Yue outside the door had been wandering for a long time, Lu Chensheng called him in when he saw this.

"Come on, let me give you a taste."

According to Lu Chensheng's estimate, this should have reached the level of low-alcohol liquor, but Lu Chensheng didn't know how much.

Shouyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and stuffed herself in with a porcelain bowl. Lu Chensheng was a little terrified at this scene.

After taking a sip, Shouyue let out a long breath, and the smell of alcohol spread out.

Immediately, Shouyue's cheeks were as rosy as if they had been painted with rouge.

Chapter 61 Fame Rise

"You haven't said what's going on, and it's poured after you take a sip?"

Lu Chensheng couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to support Shouyue and walked towards the other party's house.

Qiongyue just happened to pass by, and saw Lu Chensheng supporting the unconscious Shouyue, and looked at Lu Chensheng calmly.

"She downed the wine that was just distilled after taking a sip. Now I'm helping her back to the house."

Seeing Qiong Yue's clear eyes looking up and down all over her body, Lu Chensheng quickly explained.

"I have just heard the conversation between the husband and the lord, why should the lord be so nervous."

Seeing Lu Chensheng's extremely nervous appearance, Qiong Yue immediately pursed her lips and said with a smile.

Lu Chensheng heaved a sigh of relief, and there were no outsiders here, otherwise, if outsiders saw this scene, they might not be able to explain it clearly.

"Since the lady is here, let the lady take her back to the house."

Qiong Yue nodded slightly when she heard the words, stepped forward to help Shou Yue back to the house.

Lu Chensheng poured some wine and found Uncle Lin who was still outside.

"Uncle Lin, how about you try this wine?"

Uncle Lin had already smelled the strong aroma of wine, and seeing Lu Chensheng coming over with the wine, his face was slightly happy.

He wasn't polite to Lu Chensheng either, he had to drink it in one gulp after bringing it over, and looked at Lu Chensheng and said quickly.

"Sip a little first, don't rush to drink it down."

This Shouyue fainted as soon as he took a sip, Lu Chensheng was a little worried, whether this Uncle Lin would be the same as this Shouyue.

Hearing what Lu Chensheng said, Uncle Lin gave up the idea of ​​wanting to drink booze. After taking a sip, a burning sensation spread from his throat.

"Hiss! Good wine!"

Uncle Lin's face was almost wrinkled, but it didn't stop him from praising the wine with joy.

"This is delicious, the wine I drank before is like plain water!"

Uncle Lin took a sip and said something full of emotion.

"From Uncle Lin's point of view, is it appropriate to sell this wine at this level?"

If it is suitable, then almost all of them will be sold at this level in the future.

"It's suitable. Some people may not be able to drink this level of wine, but for some people who love wine, they should like it very much."

Uncle Lin nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Lu Chensheng felt relieved, seeing that Uncle Lin had already drunk, he took the bowl from the other party's hand.

When Uncle Lin saw this, he was very sad immediately, but he also knew that he couldn't drink anymore, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

"Boy Lu, I'm making some wine like this tonight."

Uncle Lin was not polite to Lu Chensheng, and called out from a distance.

Lu Chensheng responded, and went back to continue distilling.

It has been successful for now, and it will be mass-produced next.

It's better to get a factory building. If it is distilled here in Taohuawu every day, the room will probably smell a lot of alcohol inside and out.

The design drawing of the factory building has been handed in, and it will only be put into use after completion.

"My lord, don't you want to go outside and have a look? Those gifted scholars have been here for a few days, and they stay outside every day to look at that scroll."

Seeing Lu Chensheng came back on the fifth day of the lunar new year, he asked softly.

Lu Chensheng was unmoved when he heard the words, "If your young master goes out, the established rules will be abolished."

According to Lu Chensheng's meaning, that is, only people who match this couplet can see Lu Chensheng.
