The son-in-law of a prosperous family
Chapter 310: First Place Again
Especially today, he went to the town and met several village chiefs from other villages. Those village chiefs became more respectful to him, and envy and jealousy were revealed between the lines.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a big deal for just a small boy student.
But that was the first place in the county examination. Not only was it the only one in the villages, it was also the only one in the town.
Such a person with a talent for studying will definitely have a bright future. He might even be able to pass the imperial examination and become a master.
They have to curry favor with them in advance.
The village chief was very excited, so he took the wine and wanted to find someone to have a drink with.
Bai Guihua came out with the child in her arms, smiling, "I'll go make some snacks to go with the wine."
Zhao Yunchuan: "I'll go."
He and Huai Ge'er are not good at taking care of children.
The baby, who is over one month old, is really attached to his mother. He doesn't cry when his mother holds him, but he starts crying when Huai Ge'er holds him.
Or the baby may not cry when you first hold him/her, but starts crying after a while.
They really can't do anything about Xiao Shijin.
The side dishes are simple, a plate of fried crispy peanuts, smashed cucumber, pan-fried small yellow croaker, and cold-mixed preserved eggs. Although there are only four side dishes, they are enough to go with the wine.
Zhao Yunchuan, as the person involved, also sat at the table to join the conversation.
The three of them bumped into each other and the village chief smacked his lips.
"Tsk... After drinking the wine brewed by Chuanzi, why do other wines... seem so unpalatable?"
Fang Dashan smiled and also praised his son-in-law: "The wine brewed by Chuan'er is really good, fragrant and mellow. I have never tasted such delicious wine."
Zhao Yunchuan suddenly had an idea. He seemed to know what business he could start. He decided to open a tavern and sell wine!
When he is on vacation, he can brew wine with Huai Ge'er. During normal times, Huai Ge'er only needs to serve wine to the guests.
good idea!
Fang Dashan waved his hand in front of Zhao Yunchuan twice and said, "Come back to your senses. What are you thinking when your village chief uncle talks to you?"
Zhao Yunchuan came back to his senses and grinned.
Fang Dashan felt a little disgusted. With such a handsome face, why was he smiling like a fool?
"I didn't think much about it. I was just wondering...can I make my own wine and sell it?"
"That will definitely work!"
The village chief was the first to give his affirmation.
"Really?"
"That must be true." The village chief picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth to chew: "I'm not exaggerating, I have drunk all the wines sold in the surrounding villages, and the wine you brew is the most fragrant and strong. Not only can you sell it, but you can also sell it very well."
"Then I'll borrow Uncle Ji's words."
Fang Dashan pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
Now that there is someone here, I'll ask Chuanzi about his plans later.
The village chief was very happy and praised Zhao Yunchuan again and again at the dinner table. In the end, he went home very drunk.
"Chuanzi, hurry up and see your village chief off."
The village chief said with a lisp: "No, no need, I'm not drunk, I can go back by myself, no need to send me off, no need to send me off!"
He just staggered and almost fell, but Zhao Yunchuan grabbed him in time.
"Go, go, go, go, go, I'll take you there. I'll take you there."
"No, no, no, no, no..."
Zhao Yunchuan pretended not to hear anything and just dragged the man away.
Along the way, the village chief praised him as a flower. Who doesn't like to hear compliments? Everyone likes it, including Zhao Yunchuan.
Zhao Yunchuan was very happy, but the color was very ugly, for the simple reason that it smelled too bad!
The village chief drank a lot of wine, and his mouth was full of the smell of alcohol. That was not all. He kept burping as he spoke. The smell of alcohol mixed with the sour smell rising from his stomach was so sour and refreshing.
He held his breath and said nothing.
The village chief burped loudly in front of him and said with a look of dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? Are you mute? Why don't you speak?"
Zhao Yunchuan's face flushed red, and he just hoped that he would lose his sense of smell at this moment.
He answered in a suppressed voice: "I have a stomachache. I dare not speak for fear of pooping in my trouser pocket."
"Get out!"
The village chief stopped talking and instead quickened his pace. Soon, Zhao Yunchuan brought the person there.
"You, you want to poop, right? Go ahead and poop!"
"I don't want to poop anymore..."
The village chief started to get drunk and said, "Pull, you must pull!"
"It's not in our house! What, do you look down on our toilet?"
Zhao Yunchuan was so upset that he wanted to cry but had no tears left. What was going on?
"That's not true, uncle. I just look down on myself, but I can't look down on you. You are the leader and guide of our Tianzao Village!
It is because of you that life in Tianzao Village is so good."
These words really touched the village chief's heart.
He burped again, and Zhao Yunchuan closed his eyes tightly.
His eyes were smoked!
"Since you don't look down on me, then take a shit before you leave!"
"I...I didn't!"
"That's easy. I'll feed you. We don't have much of anything at home except for shit. You can have as much as you want."
Zhao Yunchuan: (⊙_⊙)
Really, let’s not talk about this kind of topic anymore, it’s too graphic and makes him want to vomit.
Tian couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she took the man over. She could hardly hold on to the man, so she called her two sons over, and the village chief was soon lifted up.
“Daddy, daddy, you’ve had too much to drink. Let’s go back and rest.”
"Who drank too much? I didn't, hiccup~"
The burp hit me in the face.
Tian Xiangwu's face turned red.
Tian Xiangwen couldn't help but said: "Yue~"
Tian smiled at Zhao Yunchuan embarrassedly: "Chuanzi, I'm sorry to make you laugh. Don't take those unpleasant words he just said to heart.
He has a low alcohol tolerance and tends to talk nonsense after drinking a few bowls of cat urine.
Thank you for bringing him back. Come in and have a drink of water and rest your feet."
"Aunt, please take good care of my uncle. It's getting late, so I'll go back first." Zhao Yunchuan said goodbye.
Tian did not try to persuade him to stay. Her words like "come in and have a drink of water" were just common courtesy and it was over.
"Then be careful on the road and come visit us when you have time."
Zhao Yunchuan walked quite far away and could still hear Tian's muttering: "It stinks. Shut up and stop burping. I'm going to vomit. Yue'yue'yue~"
Hahahahaha
The drunk village chief is like a human stink sprayer, whoever gets close to him will be raped!!!
At night, Zhao Yunchuan carefully thought about several methods of winemaking. The first time he made wine was in high school when his biology teacher taught them how to make wine.
Because it was my first time to make wine, I was very excited and remembered all the steps clearly.
It’s just…he has never seen grapes in this dynasty for so long, so wine is excluded.
Even if there are grapes, they will probably be very expensive.
But it doesn’t matter if there are no grapes, there are plums, hawthorns, mulberries, pears, citrus fruits, etc.
This type of fruit wine can have a lower alcohol content and is specifically for women.
In addition to fruit wine, you can also brew some flower wine, such as osmanthus wine, chrysanthemum wine, etc. You can choose which flower wine to brew according to the different solar terms of the seasons.
In addition, there is also rice wine, which has a sweet taste and is also very popular among women.
In addition to the wine for women, they also have to brew more wine that men like to drink. The main customers of the wine shop are men, and men mainly drink white wine.
That's something to talk about.
The types include sauce-flavor type, strong-flavor type, light-flavor type, phoenix-flavor type, rice-flavor type, mixed-flavor type, Dong-flavor type, sesame-flavor type, and Laobaigan-flavor type.
In modern times, the liquor culture can be said to have a long history and is profound and extensive.
He has a series of short videos on making alcohol. Not to mention, he actually knows how to make several different types of liquor.
He plans to only brew the following types of liquor for the time being: Jiangxiang, Luzhouxiang, Mixiang, Yuye, and Huadiao. These types of liquor sell very well in modern times, and I believe they must have sold well in ancient times as well.
In addition to this, he also plans to sell medicinal liquor.
If you soak some nourishing herbs in it, the price can be increased several times.
After making up his mind, all Zhao Yunchuan needed to do was put it into practice.
For several days in a row, Zhao Yunchuan was tinkering with bottles and jars in the yard, using the pots in the kitchen from time to time, and also using a lot of food.
Bai Guihua felt distressed when seeing this.
"Chuanzi, um... our family can't drink that much alcohol, and your father doesn't drink much either."
Zhao Yunchuan: "This wine is for sale."
Bai Guihua frowned: "We want to sell wine?"
It’s not that selling alcohol is a bad thing, it’s just that the family already has several businesses to make a living, and if there’s one more person, I’m afraid we won’t be able to handle it.
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I will go to the capital city to study. I plan to open a wine shop in the capital city to earn some living expenses."
Bai Guihua: "If I pass the exam to become a Tongsheng, do I have to go to the city to study?"
That shouldn’t be the case. Even Chen Xu didn’t go.
"Not all students can go to the official school in the prefecture. I heard that only the top 20 in the prefectural exam can go."
Although Zhao Yunchuan is not confident of getting first place, it should not be a problem for him to be in the top 20.
Bai Guihua's eyes suddenly lit up: "So powerful?"
Zhao Yunchuan said modestly: "Not that great, just average, third in the world."
The family was used to his narcissism, and Bai Guihua didn't react much. She continued the previous topic: "Even if you go to the capital to study, you don't have to open a wine shop. Your family is rich, so you don't have to worry about money."
Now the family is not only rich, but also has a lot of money.
At least the ordinary families in the town can't compare to them.
Well, that's an understatement.
It should be said...the wealthy families in this town can't compare to them.
"I'm not worried about money. Mother should know that Huai Ge'er is a person who can't sit still. He would be bored at home alone during the day. So I thought of opening a wine shop. It wouldn't be too tiring, but there would be something to do."
"This……"
Bai Guihua hesitated. She knew her son's personality best and knew that he was indeed a restless person.
And once you have nothing to do, it's easy to think about all kinds of things.
"If that's the case... then it's possible."
It’s not tiring to serve wine to people on a regular basis.
"You decide. Just remember one thing: our family is not short of money. If you have any problems, just tell me and your father."
"understandable."
The family is indeed not short of money. Zhao Yunchuan and Fang Huai alone have quite a bit of money in their own private treasury.
But Zhao Yunchuan is not the type to live off his savings. If he has no income, he will feel a little insecure.
Money...
Of course, the more the better.
In addition, as a time traveler, he would be unworthy of his identity as a time traveler if he did not make some money with the help of modern knowledge.
The only bad thing about brewing wine is that it takes a long time, usually one to three months. After making a few jars, Zhao Yunchuan stopped doing it and began to quietly wait for news from the city.
This time was different from the last time. Ten days later, he saw Yan Tai's dusty face at home.
Although he looked disheveled, he was in very good spirits.
Zhao Yunchuan thought to himself: It’s stable!
Isn't this unstable? If it wasn't, Yan Tai would never have smiled like an idiot.
And most likely, it's not just him who is stable, but both he and Duan Wenshu are stable.
Before Yan Tai could say anything, Zhao Yunchuan spoke up: "Is your young master on the list?"
"Up!"
Even though his young master was the last one, so what? He still made it!
His young master is also a virgin now.
Their Duan family is no longer a family of merchants obsessed with money, and they also have scholars in their family.
"Your young master is pretty good."
"Our young master is good, but you, Mr. Zhao, are even better. Mr. Zhao is the first in the case again!"
"What? First?"
"Yes, that's right, it's the first one. An official should come to tell you the good news later. Yantai would like to congratulate Mr. Zhao from here."
Being a Tongsheng was only the most basic threshold for the imperial examination. Logically, the officials would not have gone to the door with a large force to announce the good news. But there was no way, as Zhao Yunchuan was the top scorer, and had been the top scorer for two consecutive times.
If he gets first place in the subsequent college examination, he will be truly a top three scholar.
Throughout history, there are only a handful of people who have won the three minor prizes.
With such knowledge, your future will be bright.
Sure enough, about an hour later, an official came to report the good news to Zhao Yunchuan. What's more, the person who came was an acquaintance.
Isn’t this Wan Lao San?
The man who wanted to marry his sister to him before.
"Hey, brother, aren't you a cook? How did you pass the exam to become a student? No, you told me that you are a scholar, you are really amazing!"
Zhao Yunchuan is humble as usual: "Just average, third in the world."
"Um... do you want to take a co-wife?"
Zhao Yunchuan almost blurted out: "Your sister hasn't married yet?"
Wan Lao San: ...
How to do? !
This sounds very hurtful, but it is true.
He said somewhat embarrassedly: "My sister is good-looking and good at work. The only bad thing about her is that she has high standards and wants to find someone who is perfect. She won't accept anyone who doesn't meet her expectations in any way.
But you also know that there is no perfect person in this world.
So, the wedding was delayed.”
Zhao Yunchuan sighed: "I'm not a perfect person either."
"But you are good-looking." Wan Lao San said, "Your face can make up for most of your shortcomings."
Ok!
He admitted that his sister was indeed a little superficial.
"So do you want to marry a second wife?"
If it were in the past, Wan Lao San would definitely not be willing to let his sister become his co-wife, but his sister is going to be twenty this year. If she doesn't get married, let alone become his co-wife, she will probably have to be an old maid at home for the rest of her life.
