The best county magistrate

Before dinner, Yang Xuanchen sent someone to buy some wine-making equipment and raw materials and delivered them to the dining room.

Looking at several wine jars and hundreds of kilograms of grain piled on the ground, Zhou Miaomiao raised her pestle.

She originally thought that Yang Xuanchen was just talking about making wine, but she didn't expect that she had just finished cooking and was about to start making wine.

She took a deep breath and scooped up rice, cursing her mother in her heart.

The brewing process of this era is somewhat different from the ancient methods in my memory. It takes a long time and there is no corresponding distillation process after the wine is made. The wine tastes light and sour and spicy.

It happened that two mothers and daughters who knew how to make wine came here. Of course Yang Xuanchen would not let them go. Whether the second industry in Qingshui County could be put online in advance depends on the next few days.

Under his guidance, the wet fermentation method was adopted, and a room was opened in the stable yard. After burning some plant ashes, large jars of wine jars were brought in.

"Miss Zhou, the room must maintain the current temperature these days. Pay more attention. If the temperature gets too low, burn some plant ash and throw it in." Yang Xuanchen said.

As soon as I understood the principle of constant temperature fermentation, I saw Yang Xuanchen fetching some steamed medicinal materials and some mashed fruits.

"Sir, what's the point of putting medicinal materials and fruits in these jars?"

Yang Xuanchen wiped the sweat on his head and smiled: "You can understand it as different flavors."

"The wine mixed with medicinal materials will have a medicinal aroma. Drinking a few cups a day can also strengthen your body."

"Those with fruits may be able to brew wine earlier. This is called fruit wine, and it is more suitable for women to drink."

"After the fermentation is completed in a few days, I will explain the subsequent process to you in detail."

After the brewing business came to an end, Yang Xuanchen nodded imperceptibly towards the horseman Lao Wang in the distance, and left on the pretext that he had something else to do.

Zhou Miaomiao stared blankly at his leaving figure, feeling extremely shocked.

Drinking can also strengthen your body. What kind of magical method is this?

This was the first time she had seen an official who could both make salt and brew wine.

After Yang Xuanchen walked away, Hu Lijing walked out of the darkness.

"Master, what kind of person is he?" Zhou Miaomiao asked, looking in the direction outside the stable yard.

If Yang Xuanchen was still here, he would definitely be shocked.

This is not a mother and daughter on the run. These two people are clearly the Taoist nun and the fairy sister.

"Hmph, this guy has a lot of crooked tricks. Don't be fooled by him." Hu Lijing warned.

"Master, how much contempt and scorn have we suffered after we disguised ourselves as refugees and entered the city? He is the only one who does not dislike us."

Zhou Miaomiao glanced at Hu Lijing, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words.

"Miaomiao, you are not very experienced in the world, so you don't know how dangerous people's hearts are!"

"I don't know what means this kid used to become the magistrate of Qingshui County. He has only been in office for a few days, but he has made so much noise!"

"Do you know what the purpose behind him is?"

Zhou Miaomiao was a little speechless. To a certain extent, Yang Xuanchen was indeed a little bold.

"Master, aren't the Young Master and the Minister of Rites sworn enemies?"

"The so-called enemy of my enemy is my friend, so why did you insist on killing Yang Xuanchen?"

Facing Zhou Miaomiao's question, Hu Lijing didn't know how to answer, so she sighed.

"I don't know much about it, but the master's order is an order, and we can just carry it out."

"We still have five days. If you are unwilling to take action, I will not force you..."

Zhou Miaomiao nodded, took Hu Lijing's hand and said softly: "Master, your body will not allow you to commit any more crimes. You promised me..."

Hu Lijing touched her hand gently and showed a happy smile.

Suddenly, Xiaolian's shout came from outside the stable yard, "Aunt Hu, Miss Zhou, the wing has been vacated. The master is calling you to come over and clean up!"

After they left, the groom Wang in the shadow opened his eyes, his eyes as sharp as an eagle flashed past, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Jade-faced fox, what kind of medicine did you sell in the gourd?"

"Who is the young master you call?"

Then he glanced in the direction of the back hall and said, "You brat, just be happy for yourself, I don't want to meddle in your business."

After dinner, Yang Xuanchen, Wei Junzhi and Zhang Biao discussed the recruitment of government officials and Liujia Village in the back hall.

There is basically nothing to discuss about the case of Qian Youde and Wang Mang. It is basically a solid case, and they can't make any trouble out of it.

Yang Xuanchen took another look at Fang Huajing lying on the bed, trying to pry some valuable information from him. Unfortunately, Fang Huajing didn't say anything, so he had to give up.

After going to the small kitchen to get two bottles of wine, Yang Xuanchen came to the back garden of the county government office for the first time under the moonlight.

After several days of careful care by Xiaolian, the flowers, plants and trees took on a new look.

In the pond beside some willow trees, two koi carps were swimming happily.

In the pavilion in front of a row of green bamboos, the stone benches and tables have also been wiped clean.

Yang Xuanchen took a sip of the tasteless wine and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky. A pair of eyes that he could never forget appeared in front of his eyes.

"The wind returns to the small courtyard, and the green is green, and the spring in the willow eyes continues. I am speechless in the middle of the night..."

The shouts from the Moon Gate interrupted Yang Xuanchen who was reciting poetry.

He took a closer look and saw a green shirt in the hazy moonlight.

"Sister Fairy?!" Yang Xuanchen exclaimed.

When the beauty took a few steps closer, she could see more clearly. It turned out that it was Zhou Miaomiao wearing Xiaolian's clothes.

"Master, you are here!"

Yang Xuanchen was a little embarrassed, took a sip of wine, and asked lightly: "It turns out to be Miss Zhou, what's the matter?"

She took a few steps closer and came to Yang Xuanchen's side, "I just want to ask you about winemaking."

He patted the stone bench in front of him and said with a smile: "Sit down, you know how to drink? Have a few drinks with me and we can chat while drinking."

Zhou Miaomiao was not polite and sat on the stone bench. She held the wine bottle in one hand and covered her face with the other. She raised her head slightly and took a sip.

Her movements were as natural as flowing water, and her eyes stared at him with a smile.

picture!so similar!

How come there are such similar eyes in the world? They are as bright as stars, as clean and clear!

For a moment, Yang Xuanchen was in a daze.

Zhou Miaomiao's heart beat faster due to his hot gaze, and her palms were sweating while holding the wine bottle.

He won't notice anything, right? If his identity is exposed, should I kill him?

She struggled for a while, then lowered her head, pretending to be shy and said: "Master, Miaomiao is not pretty, so there is no need to keep staring at her."

Yang Xuanchen almost spit out a mouthful of wine. He waved his hands repeatedly, "Miss Zhou, there is no need to belittle yourself. In fact, I am blind and can't tell the difference between beauty and beauty."

Zhou Miaomiao's small fists were clenched tightly, and her dark little face was a little bulging, as if she was gritting her teeth.

Yang Xuanchen smiled, knowing that he had made a mistake.

"Miss Zhou, have we met before?"

"Huh?" Zhou Miaomiao, who was still angry, was stunned for a moment.

Oops! He won't really recognize me.

Just when she secretly wanted to slap him with her luck, Yang Xuanchen turned his hands into claws and made several gestures in the air.

"No, the fairy sister's breasts are so big, you are a bit flat..."

The wine bottle in Zhou Miaomiao's hand was instantly cracked.

In order not to expose any flaws, she stood up and said, "I drank too much. Miaomiao will ask again tomorrow."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

You are a slut, a lustful person, not only do you think I am ugly, but you also say that I have flat chest!

Go back and get the sword, and I'll behead your dog tonight.

Halfway through, Zhou Miaomiao remembered how to make wine, which he had learned only half way.

So I stomped my feet bitterly and will kill you after I finish studying.

Yang Xuanchen, who was sitting in the pavilion, looked at her back and groaned, confused.

Being disturbed by Zhou Miaomiao, he lost interest in drinking.

At this time, Xiaolian sent a post from Qingzhou Prefecture, with only one simple sentence on it.

In the tenth year of Jianwen's reign, on the fifth day of April, the governor of Qingzhou inspected Qingshui County.
