Tu Hao never thought that Xu Mingxu would stay with him to celebrate the New Year.

As the end of the year approached, he had long been prepared to be empty, lonely and cold.

Xu Mingxu saw that he was in a daze, reached out and pinched the tip of his nose, feeling a little cold, quickly carried him to the carriage, stuffed a hand stove in his hand and said: "I have already written a letter to go home. Here, Grandpa agrees."

In fact, if grandpa disagreed, he wouldn't take it seriously.

It may sound cold, but the Xu family doesn't have much affection in his heart, it's just mutual benefit.

He also understood that for his grandfather, agreeing to accompany Tu Hao to spend the New Year in Taiping County was not out of respect for his friendship, but because he felt that Tu Hao was a political capital worth investing in.

Of course, these have little to do with him.Now he is looking forward to celebrating the New Year with Little Mouse, and then the two of them will be the same as the master of the house, and will be the same as ordinary young couples...

Tu Hao managed to regain his composure, and suddenly saw Xu Mingxu's face slowly turning red.I have to say that a great beauty is a great beauty.During the three years in Anchang County, he looked rough, but the foundation of the young man is here. After returning to Beijing, he became a little boy again after a short period of time.With him staring at her now, coupled with the humid climate in Taiping County, the big beauty is now blushing, her skin is rosy, and she really wants to be bitten.

So: "Brother, what are you thinking?"Are you thinking of a young lady?

Xu Mingxu quickly corrected his posture and thoughts, and said solemnly: "I want to make the first batch of wine from the brewery."

When he mentioned it, Tu Hao also thought of it: "I forgot to mention it. The first batch of wine has been divided by the Ministry of War and the Imperial Hospital, and there is nothing to sell."

In fact, his brewing is fake in the first place, mainly because of alcohol.The task of the craftsmen in the brewery is not to improve the taste of the wine, but to increase the alcohol concentration.

The price given by the imperial court was almost a cost fee. Although it was roughly a circle of numbers on the books, it didn't make the books of the brewery too ugly.

He thought about the pack of wolves in the imperial court, and threw himself into the arms of the beauty beside him: "It's a good thing that my brother built a breeding farm, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see money." If you don't even give him money, isn't he your own son? !

so annoying.After such a toss, he is tantamount to raising pigs and geese to earn alcohol money that can be used by the court for a year, and he has to guarantee the labor and other miscellaneous expenses of the workshop.

No, things can't be done like this!

He has to go to the paper to cry poor!

"Huh?" Tu Hao sat up straight suddenly, and asked, "Brother, do you think someone will fill their pockets with strong alcohol?"

Xu Mingxu used to raise a horse farm for the frontier army in Anchang County. Even if he didn't have that experience, he knew the tricks: "There must be."

Tu Hao was about to say something, but the carriage stopped, and it turned out that he had already arrived home.

As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Ye Dahua curled up in the room, wrapped in a padded jacket as thick as a quilt, with half-dried hair.

"Big cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Dahua's nose was red, and she sneezed before she could speak: "Isn't this a fast horse coming from the capital?"

Although it only takes less than two days for a fast horse to travel from the capital to Taiping County, it is not comfortable to travel in such a cold weather.As he blew all the way, he felt that his face was not his own.Just had a hot bath to no avail, it was too cold.

The servant quickly brought over a bowl of hot noodle soup.

Ye Dahua picked it up and ate it, finished two bowls in a short while, pinched her nose and poured a bowl of cold medicine, and then let out a long sigh of relief: "Ah... finally came back to life."

"Are you so?" Tu Hao expressed contempt, "A martial arts practitioner who practices summer and winter practices [-], and only needs to wear a single shirt in the winter, are they afraid of being so cold?"

"Tch, listen to your nonsense!" Ye Dahua rubbed her face, half-closed her eyes, "Brother, I practiced martial arts at the age of three, and when I came here I was still wearing a leather suit, and I was still terrified of the cold. Wearing a single coat in winter, is it because of my brain? question?"

"That's because you are not good at learning."

"Then do you see that your grandfather wears a single shirt in winter?"

"Grandpa is getting old, and besides, he went to the battlefield when he was young, and he lost both vitality and blood, so of course he should wear thicker clothes."

Why does it sound so reasonable?Is it really because he is not good at learning?Ye Dahua made a deep reflection, and within three seconds, he suddenly realized: "I won't talk to you." Every time he led him into the ditch, he waved his hand to make the servants who were serving him back, and said with a straight face , "The wine from your brewing workshop has been misunderstood a lot. Your father is angry."

The little uncle would be terrible if he wasn't angry, and his nephew, who hadn't made any mistakes, was a little afraid to come to the door when he was angry.But he can't do it unless he comes to the door. He is still in charge of investigating this matter.

After the first batch of spirits were brewed, he quietly followed the escort team to the capital, and watched with his own eyes that the wine jars were put into storage one by one.As a result, it was only the next day that "Strong Burning Knives" began to be sold in several large wine shops in the capital.

He sent someone to buy a small bottle, and brought it home for his father to taste. This is the spirit produced by his little cousin's brewing workshop.

"I just surrounded that wine shop." This time he accomplished a major event, and he was quite proud of it. He couldn't say a word in front of his elders, or in front of his little cousin?His eyebrows were beaming, "The little old man who runs the wine shop still wants to deny it. Bah! Grandpa directly sued the imperial court, and went to the warehouse to check. Is there anything I don't understand?"

Needless to say, by following the clues, I found many dirty things and dirty people.

In fact, he didn't say that there was no loss during the escort, but when it was recorded in the account, [-]% was directly "lossed".If it wasn't for touching the "melons" below, he would have opened up that dog officer holding a chicken feather as an arrow!

"The capital city is still buzzing. This year is very lively." After a pause, he glanced at Xu Mingxu, "His Royal Highness supervises this matter."

Tu Hao was stunned when he heard this, and he came back to his senses after a while, poked his finger on the big padded jacket: "You have made such a big mess, so you have to take refuge here during the Chinese New Year?"

When Xu Mingxu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and corrected: "Brother Ye, this is not stabbing someone, but doing a good deed." But it is also true that offending people is not light.It is already a customary thing to be exploited layer by layer in the officialdom, and many of them have even become extremely clear, and some people even have no idea that this thing is wrong.

It is estimated that no one would have expected to meet such a fool as Ye Dahua, but in the end they would also meet such an "old fool" as Grandpa Ye, who would directly stab him in front of His Majesty.

However, these people don't even think about it. Ye Dahua is the eldest son and grandson who will succeed in the future, and Grandpa Ye is a veteran figure like the pillar of the country. Would it be reckless for them to do this?

It can only be said that His Majesty has long wanted to touch them.

His Royal Highness is supervising, so his grandfather must also participate.The Xu family probably didn't have a peaceful year either.Grandpa agreed with him to celebrate the New Year outside, probably because of this consideration.

The three people present all understood the twists and turns, and immediately put these things aside without saying anything.Tu Hao said cheerfully: "Let them be busy with those things. The eldest cousin is also celebrating the New Year in Taiping County. Let's plan well and have a lively time. Kill a few pigs and dozens of big geese!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Mouse was caught stroking his hair for a while.

There is still one month before the Chinese New Year. Under the scientific breeding and expert guidance, the animals in the pig farm and goose farm are growing fat and strong, and they will be ready for slaughter soon.

Tu Hao felt that the temperature was no different from that of a refrigerator, and ordered people to start slaughtering pigs and geese, tossing about frozen, dried, and smoked wax, and after all the tossing, he arranged for his assistant to escort him to the capital for sale: "The shop is already ready. , looking for you Senior Brother Qiu."

"Understood, sir."

"When you encounter someone who finds fault, don't force yourself, take a small notebook and write it down. Don't worry, come back and tell me. If you are in a hurry, go find the seniors in Beijing."

"Understood, sir."

"All the local products to take to the capital are ready, and the list is with Qi Qi. You have packed your own luggage, and tell Qi Qi that he will arrange someone to take it away. The donkey cart and the car dealer have also agreed. One car." Tu Hao felt that he was like an old father, sending his son who graduated from high school to go to college in a different place, and he was extremely worried. Crowded in another car. Is it enough? Not enough for me to get some?"

The two assistants quickly waved their hands: "Enough is enough." Just kidding, their husbands treated them better than ordinary petty officials. Although they couldn't see it on the surface, but with various subsidies included, the daily life of the family You don't need to spend your own money on expenses.The life of their small family is much more comfortable than living with a big family in the capital.

Xu Mingxu accompanied Tu Hao to see off his students, and then received various gifts sent by the students one after another.Everyone was in the officialdom, and there were no expensive things as gifts. A large part of them were his own calligraphy and paintings, and Tu Hao was very happy to receive them.

This probably belongs to a businessman with a bad reputation, who yearns deeply for culture in his heart!

He longed for it, and produced a bunch of final exam papers: "This one is for the county school, this one is for Jiangdan Shushu, this one is for the Imperial College, this one is for His Royal Highness, and this one... is for Cousin Dahua."

Ye Dahua entered the Chinese New Year mode after she had done a good job in the capital. She opened her mouth and stretched out her hands for dinner at home. Apart from being picked up by Zeng's guards every morning and evening to practice martial arts, she didn't even take a step out of the door, especially in the house.

There is no internet these days, and there are a lot of books, but he doesn't like to read them, so he just stays in his room sharpening his knives all day long!

That's right, he did a big thing this time, and the family gave him a precious sword.But good knives don't need to be sharpened from morning to night. Tu Hao asked people to hand over all the kitchen knives, scissors, and fruit knives to him to sharpen. The craftsmanship is very good.

Ye Dahua, who was full of precious knives, received the paper as if he had received a diaper, and wanted to throw it away: "Why do I have it too?"

Tu Hao looked at him strangely: "Aren't you still a student of martial arts at Jiangdan School?" Of course students have to take exams.

The author has something to say:

Ye Dahua?(???)?: Who is better at sharpening knives?

Little mouse ╭(￣▽￣)╯: Come, come, master chef from Beijing, ancestral craftsmanship, kitchen knife for five cents...

Ye Dahua ('д'): This is wrong!

Little Mouse╭(￣▽￣)╯: What's wrong?Come, come, it only costs three pennies to sharpen the scissors!Chinese New Year discount package, also comes with sharpening a fruit knife!
