Self-cultivation of male support

Chapter 161 Tribute Wine

Shi Yan only glanced lightly, as if nothing happened, walked straight forward with his hands behind his back.

However, Mr. Qian, who stayed where he was, felt as if he had been seen through at a glance. For a moment, he felt that he had no secrets under the other's emotionless gaze.

When Shi Yan reached the bridge, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Master, please give me something to eat!"

Shi Yan turned around lightly with his hands behind his back, his gaze met Master Qian.

Master Qian bent over like a real beggar, his voice trembling uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, I know you recognized me, it seems that when I was in the private school, I passed by my classmates to protect you. For the sake of the beating, Qian asks you one thing."

Shi Yan's eyes were indifferent and had no warmth, and his words were also very ruthless: "You should know what can be mentioned and what can't be mentioned."

Master Qian nodded repeatedly: "Understood, I understand!"

Shi Yan seemed to do it casually, Master Qian's bowl with a missing hole made a "jingle", and fell into a silver nude that was pinched by Shi Yan with great strength, and the specific shape could not be seen.

Shi Yan didn't agree, and Master Qian didn't ask further, both of them knew in their hearts that Shi Yan agreed to Master Qian's request.

At that time, Yan was mediocre in private school, but he was well-behaved and favored by his master, so he was often hated by others. Once, he met a few older and unreasonable classmates who deliberately found fault with him. If they disagreed, they would strike. It was Master Qian. Seeing the rough road, he protected Shi Yan behind his back, got beaten up by those people, and saved Shi Yan.

It was also because of that that the two became friends.

A big Buddha came to Luo'an County, and the county magistrate was obviously an insider, because the old lady often teased her grandson at Shi Yan's house, the county magistrate often had to disguise himself and go to He's house to pay his respects to the old lady.

When Shi Yan arrived home, he heard his grandmother say to her: "Old man, is your grandson in your arms? It's really lovely to look at him white and tender.

Looking at this little boy, he looks somewhat similar to my second boy. If I didn't know clearly that I have given birth to two children in this life, I would have misunderstood whether this is my child living outside!

By the way, my second kid is really naughty. He digs out bird nests from trees, fishes in rivers, pulls the old man’s beard, and rides on his father’s neck. There is nothing he dares to do. Even though he is only seven years old now, he is already a ghost See you sad.

Fortunately, this child still has a weakness, that is, he is afraid of hearing a woman's cry, otherwise, if he has such a trouble, I feel that my life will be over like this! "

The grandmother hugged her grandson, glanced at the son-in-law who was told by his mother that he couldn't lift his head, blushed and didn't dare to look this way, and coaxed the old lady with a smile: "You are still young, the child is only seven years old, teach him slowly in the future." That's it, don't worry, don't hit the child."

As soon as Shi Yan heard it, she knew that the old lady was confused again. Thinking about when she met her grandmother in the capital, she seemed to be in good condition all the time. Presumably, the old lady chose to come to see her family when she was sober. Bar!It's not easy for the elderly either.

No one in the family knew the fact that Mr. Qian was still alive, Shi Yan didn't tell everyone about meeting Mr. Qian, and only asked people to go to the city to inquire about something privately.

Seeing his son coming home, He Dashan finally rescued him from the embarrassing situation, and asked Shi Yan to discuss business matters: "Isn't Dad organizing the establishment of a wine merchant association?

There are basically no problems in the southern provinces, and the rest of the northern provinces are following your uncle's pace, and Dad is also following up, but Dad feels that the prestige of the Chamber of Commerce is still not enough, and he needs to do something to stimulate it. Businessmen understand that our chamber of commerce can resist at critical moments and give them some confidence. "

Shi Yan suggested: "There is really no good opportunity, we can only create it artificially."

He Dashan was also a little moved, but before the two of them started to implement the plan, the emperor sent two luxurious and soft pillows to the two sleepy people.

The outside world didn't know the relationship between Hejia fruit wine and the royal family in Luo'an County, so they were stunned by the emperor's imperial decree, which caused a sensation no less than ten years ago, when the emperor stopped in Huai'an County next door, which made the locals feel That kind of pride.That is to say, it feels like it can be blown out for decades.

The emperor decreed that 23 flavors of fruit wines from the He family would be included in the tribute, and the tribute would be paid every year, which was the imperial recognition of the fruit wine from the He family.

This can be considered to have completely established the position of Hejia fruit wine in the wine world, unrivaled in the limelight and unmatched by anyone.

But no one expected that the He family would risk their lives to refuse such a great honor. The reason was because "after paying tribute to the royal family, ordinary people will not be able to taste it. My family's fruit wine is brewed for all the people in the world." , for the sake of adding a new taste to the dining tables of the people all over the world, not for the nobles in the palace to enjoy the delicious food alone."

Everyone thinks that the He family is stupid and cute. After all, your fruit wine has become a royal tribute. In the past two years, more than 80 flavors have been produced, 23 of which are paid tribute to the royal family, and the rest can be earned. At the same time, you can also develop other side jobs, no matter whether this side job is related to fruit wine or not, as long as it has something to do with the royal family, you are not afraid that you will not be able to make money.

Everyone knew what the consequences would be if they resisted the decree and didn't know good or bad. Everyone was waiting for the royal family to punish the He family, but they waited half a month with wide-eyed eyes. Fragrance floating ten miles" plaque was hung all the way to the entrance of Hejia Restaurant by the officials of the Ministry of Rites beating gongs and drums.

As the news spread, the reputation of Hejia fruit wine reached its peak, and the emperor also used it to gain a wave of favor among the people.

Uncle Shiliang and cousin Shiliang are too busy to deal with orders in various places. The winemaking workshop in Xishui Village is far from enough for the market. After several expansions, a winemaking workshop covering several villages has been established under the entire Xidang Mountain. factory.

When the factory is in full operation, it can support almost [-]% of the idle residents in the entire Luo'an County, and the scale is quite spectacular.

He Dashan got his wish and became the first national president of the Wine Merchants Association. His reputation was unprecedentedly high. With the support of the royal and mysterious background, he handled things much more efficiently.

Basically everyone who has drunk the He family fruit wine can tell a story about how the head of the He family rejected the royal tribute for the sake of ordinary people all over the world, exaggerating and exaggerating the performance of the He family and the royal family in this matter .

In fact, the reason for He Dashan's disobedience was very simple. He just wanted to gather a hundred kinds of fruit wine to celebrate the old lady's [-]th birthday next year.

Originally, it was very close to this goal, but being interrupted by the emperor, 23 kinds of flavors were allotted out at once. I am afraid that this wish will not be fulfilled no matter what next year, so naturally I am not happy.

From then on, Shi Yan felt that his life was very peaceful, except that his mother's newborn brother was very clingy, especially clinging to him, the older he got, the more noisy he would be, and his voice was hoarse when he couldn't see Shi Yan for a long time , everything is in harmony with Shi Yan's wishes.

Until one night, there was a shout of killing on the street outside, and the sound quickly disappeared in the corner of the street, without attracting too many people's attention, even the concierge of the He family was not awakened by the noise.

Shi Yan had a premonition in his heart, put on his clothes, and asked someone to open the door to check outside, and sure enough, he picked up a child who had learned to walk in a basket at the door.

The child is dressed in tatters and looks invisible. The clothes are hanging on the body, which can be used to keep warm, but if you look closely, you can find that the clothes are clean, and they are all torn and tattered by people. The skin is white and tender , chubby, he was well protected at first glance, and he didn't look like he had suffered much.

The child was very quiet. When he saw Shi Yan, he didn't say a word. He just stared at Shi Yan with a pair of big round eyes, his eyes were full of curiosity. Afterwards, he made a shapeless silver nude, and stretched out his hands towards Shi Yan.

The porter behind Shi Yan was stunned, pointed at the child and said in a low voice: "Master, this child doesn't seem to be able to speak yet. Could it be a dumb..."

The following words disappeared in Shi Yan's calm and emotionless eyes.

Shi Yan stuffed the child into a basket and carried it through the door, and said to the people around him: "Don't disturb the family, go and find Wang Cheng, I'll wait for him in the study."

After seeing Wang Cheng who came in a hurry, Shi Yan went straight to the point and said, "What happened to what I asked you to inquire about a few days ago?"

Wang Cheng nodded: "Young master, you asked me to find a childless person with a gentle personality and a good reputation in the neighborhood. If there is a family who intends to buy a child, there is a family in the east of the city. The relationship is very good, and it is said that the husband was injured when he went out to work and was unable to bear children. Such a family would be good for the children in the future."

Shi Yan took a look and didn't know anything. He was lying in the big basket, dragging the sleeping child by the hem of his clothes, carefully pulling out the hem of the clothes from the other party's tender hands, and handing it to Wang Cheng directly in the basket: " Send it over overnight, how can I say that you know it well?"

When Wang Cheng left carefully with the basket in his hand, Shi Yan was playing with the silver nude that was given to Master Qian and brought back by this child, and ordered the guards outside: "At dawn, let someone go to the county government office. Ask the county magistrate what happened at night."

The county magistrate attached great importance to Shi Yan's affairs, and when Shi Yan had just had breakfast, the county magistrate came to him in person to explain.

The two chatted while eating, and the county magistrate briefly told Shi Yan what happened at night: "A few months ago, a group of killers came to this place, and they have been chasing and killing a man with a child. I won't come back, who knows that those people returned to Luo'an County last night."

Luo'an County is loose on the outside and tight on the inside because of the two giant Buddha statues of the Empress Dowager and Prince Yu. Every move in the county is under the control of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate naturally knew what Shi Yan had asked people to do last night, after all, he didn't intend to hide it from others.

The county magistrate reminded lightly: "The man with the scar on his face led the killer away, and someone sent the child to your door.

Those two people were finally captured alive by the killers. Those people did not find their children and left Luo'an County overnight. Presumably they will not come back again. "

Shi Yan: "Do you know who did it?"

The county magistrate looked pure and kind: "Why do you have to embarrass yourself?"

This is what it means to know but not to say. If you want to come to the county magistrate to know something, the emperor will know it later. Shi Yan guessed that the uncle's face must be very exciting when he heard the news.
