I don't want to be king

Although Guan Xiaoqi is more beautiful, but if she wants to marry a government official, I am afraid she can only be a concubine!

"Little brother, I understand what you mean,"

Guan Sheng immediately understood what Lin Yi meant, and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, my future father-in-law and I will beg for food on the river together, which can be said to be a fateful friendship.

I even saved his life, I owe him the grace to save his life.

After he limped one leg, he became a watchman. I was a little hesitant to marry my daughter to such a family, but I didn't expect their boy to be so promising. "

Lin Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Guan is lucky."

Guan Sheng said with emotion, "When my daughter is married, I will go to the mountain to build a hut.

Nowadays, the policy of the imperial court is good, and those gentry dare not search and exploit anymore. In the days to come, I don’t know how comfortable I will be without freezing to death or starving. "

"Don't worry, the good days are yet to come."

Lin Yi looked proud.

The common people's sense of happiness has increased, so he is naturally honored.

"yes,"

Guan Sheng smiled and said, "A few days ago, I was sorry to trouble you to deliver the goods to Wenxiang Pavilion for me."

"It's a little effort, it's nothing to be polite about,"

Lin Yi smiled and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, placed them on the table, and said with a smile, "This is the money for lotus roots and water chestnuts given away last time. You count them."

"Little brother, what do you mean?"

Guan Shengzhang blushed and said, "I sincerely treat you to a drink, there is no other meaning, don't get me wrong!"

"You told us to go down the river and saved my father's life. There is nothing to repay you,"

Guan Xiaoqi stuck his head into the room through the window again, and said anxiously, "If you have other thoughts, pigs and dogs are not as good as them."

She was afraid that Lin Yi would misunderstand that he asked him to come over for a drink to take the opportunity to ask for money for the lotus root.

"I know, I know,"

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hands and said, "I don't mean anything else, just that one is one, and the other is two, and I have settled the accounts clearly."

"..."

The father and daughter looked at each other in blank dismay.

They never imagined that the street ruffian in their mind would give them back the previous money.

Guan Shengteng stood up, picked up the copper plate on the table, and laughed loudly, "Little brother, you have figured out what you owe me, but I haven't figured out what I owe you. Brother, don't be too disgusted. Take these first. Brother will replenish you later."

"Then I won't be rude,"

Lin Yi didn't have the patience to argue with him, so he put the copper coins into his pocket again, and then continued, "But I have to tell my elder brother some bad news. It is said that something happened in Wenxiang Pavilion. From the shopkeeper, the buddy, When you go to the owner's house, including my brother's acquaintances, they are all sent out of the city to reform through labor by the governor of Ankang, and I am afraid that you will not be able to do business in the future."

"Little brother doesn't know something,"

Guan Sheng waved his hands indifferently and said, "Sending lotus roots and water chestnuts to Wenxiang Pavilion is something I'm reluctant to do.

The second shopkeeper of Wenxiang Pavilion is a rich man in the village. In the past, more than half of the land in the village was owned by his family. Sending fish, water chestnuts, and lotus roots to Wenxiang Pavilion doesn't cost me a penny, so it should be paid back with interest.

I thought it would last forever.

As a result, the imperial court promulgated a new law, counting land according to the head.

On the contrary, Wang Dashan, who was nearby, had his head chopped off by the police on the spot when the court re-investigated the murder case he had committed.

The second shopkeeper was quite frightened, and later I heard that as long as you respond to the so-called rent-free and interest-free policy, you can get a gold medal from the Governor of Ankang, which seems to be called..."

"A model of rural poverty alleviation work in Liang country."

Lin Yi blurted out.

This is his name, of course he knows.

"Yes, yes, this is it,"

Guan Sheng patted his forehead, and said annoyedly, "The name is a bit awkward, I could have memorized it, but after I got sick, I forgot it all.

Everyone is saying that as long as you can get the plaque of this model of work and put it at the door, it is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death. "

"Indeed."

In order to encourage those big landlords and big country gentry to give up their debts to poor peasants, Lin Yi tried everything he could think of!

These include rent-free and interest-free policies.

As long as the gentry and landowners forgive the debts of the poor peasants, he will not be stingy with giving a plaque.

In the end, it became the so-called "gold medal for avoiding death" by spreading rumors.

The temptation of the death-free gold medal exceeded everyone's imagination. In the end, many gentry and landowners not only really abandoned their fields, but also canceled their debts to some poor people!

It's unintentional.

"The second shopkeeper burned all the IOUs in front of the guards, and finally won the gold medal for avoiding death,"

Guan Sheng said with emotion, "Fortunately, he won the gold medal for avoiding death, otherwise this time they would not be as simple as reform through labor."

"indeed,"

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, he saw Guan Xiaoqi coming in with a wooden tray, and said with a smile, "Miss Guan, it's almost enough, we are not outsiders anymore, there is no need to be so polite, if you make too much and you can't finish it, it's a waste gone."

"I've never seen such a long-winded man like you,"

Guan Xiaoqi held the plate in one hand, and put the jug and cooked meat on the table with the other, "My family is small, don't you want to eat big fish and big meat? You, let's make do with it first." .”

"Little brother, please,"

After Guan Sheng filled Lin Yi's wine first, he filled it up again for himself, raised his glass and said, "I respect you by doing it first!"

"Please!"

Seeing that his glass was empty, Lin Yi also drank his own.

"Good wine, good wine!"

Guan Sheng was not in a hurry to pick up the food, but kept smacking his mouth, full of praise for the wine that Lin Yi brought over.

"Drink as much as you like."

Lin Yi never dismissed the so-called tribute wine, and only drank the "happy water" brewed by himself.

At least I can do my best to ensure that methanol formaldehyde does not exceed the standard!

Chapter 435

If anyone talks to him about traditional handicrafts and the inheritance of ingenuity, he must be in a hurry with him!

There is no way to fool him into paying the IQ tax!

If there is an iron pot made by modern technology that costs tens of dollars, he will definitely not choose the so-called hand-crafted iron pot that costs hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

The iron pot on the assembly line is the master of human industry and technology!

This kind of pot is delicious!

He was originally a person who loved to cook, but when he was reborn, he felt a headache when he saw such a heavy iron pan in the kitchen. After shaking the pan twice, his wrist disappeared.

If you want to be a qualified chef, you must have a fat body, otherwise you won't be able to shake the pot.

It's not that all chefs are fat, but only fat people are worthy of being chefs.

Not whoever wants to be a cook can be a cook.

"I don't know where the little brother bought this wine, and how much is it worth?"

Guan Sheng smiled and said, "Although Guan is poor, the youth club has seen some of the world, and I dare not say that he has drunk all over the country, but he has visited many restaurants in Ankang City.

I've been down and out all these years, and I haven't been to many restaurants, but I know all the good wines of each house.

I have never tasted this little brother's wine. It has a long mouthfeel and is truly a good wine. "

"This is my own brew, of course it is different from the wine outside,"

Lin Yi said unceremoniously, "Usually I drink alone, come here today, you and I can have a drink."

"Little brother,"

Guan Sheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You just rely on this wine-making skill, not to mention being rich and powerful, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life. If nothing else, this wine will definitely be rushing for it."

"Thank you, Brother Guan, for your compliment."

Lin Yi was very surprised.

Guan Sheng still had good eyesight, and recognized the value of this wine!

The most important thing is that the surname Guan is very clear, and he didn't ask for the method of making this wine!

"Little brother, I'm telling the truth,"

Guan Sheng said with emotion, "Even Wenxiang Pavilion and Xinghualou don't have such good wine."

"I'll tell you the truth, Brother Guan, my wine is good, but it's not easy to make it,"

Lin Yi said casually, "It's very troublesome."

Guan Sheng smiled and said, "It takes a little effort for a good thing, it's worth something, it should be."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "To make wine, you must first have good water. Water is the most important thing. Since ancient times, there must be good springs where there are famous wines. Water is the blood of wine. Only good mountains and good water can produce good wine."

Guan Sheng nodded and agreed, "It's natural, not only for wine, but also for tea. Only famous mountains and great rivers can produce good tea."

Lin Yi continued, "Ankang City is considered a land of dragon veins, but there is no good water. You are a native of the country, so you naturally know the quality of the water. It rains in spring and summer and is turbid, and in autumn and winter, the sky is covered by dust."

"good,"

Guan Shengxin said with emotion, "In autumn and winter, you can still rely on the well for some water, but the most fearful thing is that when it rains, dirty water will flood into the well, and the water, let alone wine making, may not be enough to eat.

After hearing so much from the little brother, could it be that the water used for brewing wine is not the water of Ankang City? "

"My water is neither river water nor well water,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I took the dew from pear, apricot, and lotus flowers in summer."

"dew?"

Guan Sheng had a look of disbelief, but after sniffing the cup in front of him again, he felt that it was not impossible.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "That's right. This summer, I harvested less than a barrel of dew and brewed less than a catty of wine. I drank a couple of sips myself, and the rest was mentioned here."

"what……"

Guan Sheng hurriedly said, "It's really wasteful for a vulgar person like me to drink such a precious thing."

"What's worth it, just brew it next year."

Lin Yi has always told the truth. When he brews wine, Mingyue and Zixia are very particular, insisting on using dewdrops that fall from the sky and do not touch the ground.

It is said that this is the rootless water that has absorbed the aura of heaven and earth.

He originally scoffed at these unscientific practices.

Lin Yi didn't bother arguing with them, so he just messed around with them.

The result was very embarrassing.

The wine brewed from the dew on the petals of pear blossoms, lotus blossoms, and apricot blossoms is actually better than the wine he brewed with well water!

Totally incredible!

Does Lushui really have a so-called aura?

Why can't he believe it?

But the taste cannot be faked!

The wine brewed with dew is indeed delicious.

The most important thing is that he can't drink the wine brewed from the dew.

Brewed from well water, whether it’s white wine, rice wine, or even red wine, just drink whatever you want!

Why is this so?

Is it because the alcohols and aldehydes can be reduced by using dew?
