Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Luo Yue's conservatory does not use underfloor heating with kang channels in the ground, but a fire wall.The conservatory has two walls, and the vertical bricks between the walls form a zigzag winding flue, which is connected to the outdoor stove. The hot smoke generated by the stove will rise and fill the flue, bringing heat between the inner and outer walls. Then through the heat transfer inner wall, the heat is evenly radiated into the house.

The Yun family's greenhouse does not use firewood, but ink charcoal, which is what Xia Yue used when he roasted the brazier and warmed up the food and drinks.This kind of charcoal is different from the charcoal on the earth. The charcoal before use is actually light gray, and it will be completely black after burning.The heat generated by ink charcoal is very high, flammable and resistant to burning, and a piece of ink charcoal the size of a palm can burn for several hours without extinguishing.At the same time, the smoke generated by its combustion is almost transparent and not choking at all. Xia Yue really liked ink charcoal when he saw it for the first time.

Yun’s conservatory does not have a chimney, but completely traps the hot smoke inside the fire wall. It does not need to burn the stove all night. It is possible to do so because the outer wall of the conservatory uses very special masonry, and the heat insulation effect is amazing. the point.

Xia Yue was well aware of how warm his bedroom was, but he never cared about it.After listening to Steward Fang's words, he came back to ask the servant, and found out that usually the fire only lasts for half an hour at night, which is only a few ten minutes, probably just enough to let the hot smoke fill the flue in the wall.In this way, the temperature can be maintained throughout the night, Xia Yue was very surprised, he was sure that the room was still warm after getting up in the morning.

The heat preservation effect is so amazing... If you can use this kind of masonry to make a container, you can keep the scalded wine at the optimal temperature until you drink it.

Xia Yue wants Xi Jiuzui to release hot wine.

This will be the biggest feature of Xijiuzui.

And, it's hard to imitate.

Apart from Shi Yan who has been taught the knowledge of hot wine, Xia Yue is probably the only person in Luo Yue who has mastered it.There is no thermometer here, and it is impossible to accurately grasp the temperature of the hot wine. This also determines that even if someone with a heart writes down the taste and tries to scald it to that temperature alone at home, it may not be possible to scald it a second time.

What's more, there are more than a dozen kinds of Yun family wines on Xijiuzui's menu, all of which are exclusively provided by Xijiuzui. It's no problem to drink it at home after stealing it, but it's difficult to start a business after stealing it.

Although Xia Yue also knew that Luo Yue, who had a simple folk style, would not have such problems as copycats.

The idea of ​​launching hot wine in Xijiuzui came up when he found that Luo Yue's wine was very similar to sake. He would hide in the room and try hot wine that day, just to prove that hot wine is also available in Luoyue. It works.

Perhaps it is difficult for the guests to abandon their prejudices and accept the hot wine easily, but Xia Yue has confidence in himself and in the Yun family's wine.Originally, in the previous life, there were quite a few people who had misconceptions about sake. There were not a few people who thought hot wine was a waste of good wine. Xia Yue knew how to make these guests accept hot wine slowly.

He already has a relatively complete test plan in his mind, such as providing free small bowls of appetizers with a glass of pre-dinner wine after the guests are seated.This kind of small welfare can not only win the favor of customers, but also relieve the anxiety of customers waiting for the food, and it is also a kind of sales promotion.In fact, in the izakaya in his last life, this method succeeded in getting many customers to order the wine he wanted to sell.

Appetizers do not need to be much, they can be rich soup or pickled side dishes, a few mouthfuls are enough, it is best to warm the stomach without filling the stomach.It is not the appetizer itself that should be sold to the guests, but the wine.The main task of the appetizer is to let the guests taste the delicious wine.

Although there may be some small losses in this way, as long as it is done well, it will not only earn word of mouth, but also allow customers to accept hot wine relatively naturally.There is no problem with this step, and the next step will be smooth.

He is confident in convincing Steward Fang and Shopkeeper Cheng, after letting them know the charm of hot wine.

However, there is still a big problem before that, that is, the plum bottle dissipates heat too quickly, and now it is cold winter, and the temperature of the wine in the bottle has dropped after a drink, so that in the last glass, the guests drink still. It will be ordinary room temperature wine, Xia Yue tried his best to avoid such a situation.

To make the temperature of the hot wine last longer, at least let the guests taste how amazing and delicious the moderate temperature wine is enjoyed with the matching dishes.

Therefore, he needs wine utensils with slow heat dissipation and good heat preservation effect.

The heat insulation effect of the outer wall is too strong, completely exceeding his requirements.

If you can use this kind of stone to make wine utensils...

Xia Yue stared at the outer wall of his bedroom with burning eyes.

When Shi Yan came back from the north courtyard, he saw Xia Yue like this. The servant standing beside him seemed a little frightened by his eyes. When he saw Shi Yan walk into the courtyard, he quickly looked over for help.

"Xianggong, what's the matter?" Shi Yan thought it was funny, although it couldn't be seen on his face.

Xia Yue was rubbing the outer wall with his fingers, when he heard Shi Yan's voice, he was startled for a moment, and after mental preparation, he turned to look at him.

When he saw Shiyan with his hands bare outside his sleeves, Xia Yue forgot all about the construction.

"Where's the sleeve furnace?" He asked Shiyan.

"It's warm in Daddy's room, so I didn't bring it."

Xia Yue frowned in disapproval, "It's warm in the room, but it's cold on the way there, and you still stick your hands outside like this."

"It's not a few steps, it's okay." Xia Yue's concern made Shi Yan very happy, but he felt that he had been working since he was a child, and his body was very healthy, so it didn't matter if he was colder.

Xia Yue directly grabbed Shiyan's hand: "It's okay, look, this hand is cold, hurry up and go into the house, have you applied the anti-freezing ointment?"

Shiyan nodded, obediently followed into the house.

The neglected boy stared blankly at the door being closed before realizing that he had nothing to do here. He shrank his neck and decided to go back to the room and tell his colleagues how good the young master is to the young lady.

As soon as Xia Yue walked into the gate of Yun's house, the witty servants started a stove for his bedroom in advance. Xia Yue watched the outer wall outside the house for a long time, and when he entered the house, the room was already warm.

He pulled Shiyan to sit down, without saying a word, just rubbed Shiyan's hands until he felt less cold, and then stuffed his sleeve stove into the person's hand.

Seeing that he was not very happy, Shi Yan dared not speak, but obediently hugged her sleeve and shrank her neck, looking like she was crouching down.

After a while, Shi Yan secretly looked up at him, and was caught by Xia Yue who had been staring at him.

When she was caught peeping, Shi Yan didn't hide, she just looked at Xia Yue, but she began to feel a little uneasy.Is Xia Yue angry?Just because he walked around the house without a sleeve stove?

Shiyan thought it was a trivial matter.

Xia Yue was a little suffocated, not for Shiyan, but for himself.

The moment he grabbed Shiyan's hand just now, he almost wanted to curse, it was really cold, like the outer wall he touched just a moment ago, he couldn't feel the body temperature.He knows that Shiyan has a good physique. The child who worked in the fields since he was a child is naturally not spoiled, but now is not the time for him to work all day and his body is hot. If he comes out of a warm room and blows cold air directly, if he is so careless, he will die. What to do if you have frostbite.

It's no wonder that Shiyan, the children of the farm are not so particular about it, and there is no greenhouse at home, so naturally they don't know how bad the temperature difference is, but Shiyan doesn't know, he knows.It's not a day or two since the weather is cold, and Shi Yan also went to his father's room every day to help prepare for the New Year, why didn't he think of reminding Shi Yan?

If he didn't notice it today, would he have to wait until Shi Yan got frostbitten before he found out?

Xia Yue was a little annoyed, because of the entanglement in his heart, he seemed to be really ignoring Shi Yan.He used to think that he was more courteous to Shiyan because of a guilty conscience, but now it seems that it was just a superficial, verbal concern, otherwise, why would he not have noticed such a trivial matter.

Where is that Xia Yue, who is used to observing words and expressions, and is meticulous and thoughtful?

The more Xia Yue thought about it, the more he felt ashamed. Looking at Shi Yan's flushed cheeks, he knew that it was not Shi Yan's blush, but cold.

Seeing that Xia Yue kept frowning and looking at him, Shi Yan felt a little apprehensive in his heart. He was about to ask, but Xia Yue suddenly pulled him over. When he reacted, he found himself sitting on Xia Yue's lap.

Shi Yan froze immediately.

It's not that Xia Yue hasn't made any intimate gestures towards him, pinching his earlobes and kissing his forehead is a common occurrence, and he must hug him when he sleeps, but sitting on his lap...

Shiyan's ears were so red that they were about to burn.

Xia Yue didn't care about Shiyan's stiffness, he just wanted to hug Shiyan tightly.He couldn't tell Shi Yan the guilt in his heart, just as he couldn't tell Shi Yan the entanglement in his heart, Xia Yue is not a person who can tell others about his psychology.

So he could only hold Shiyan in his arms, and said nothing, regardless of whether he was frightening or not.

Shi Yan was stiff in Xia Yue's arms for a long time before slowly relaxing.He is still the same, if Xia Yue doesn't say anything, he won't ask.He was somewhat aware of it, Xia Yue would not say anything.This is not a question of whether they are close enough to each other. Shi Yan feels that even if Xia Yue is intimate with him one day, he still won't say anything to him.

This warm, gentle and thoughtful person always pays attention to the people around him, is considerate and considerate, treats people kindly and harmoniously, but always hides himself very deeply.

Shiyan doesn't understand this mentality, and doesn't think about whether it's bad, he just thinks that no matter what kind of Xia Yue it is, he will accept it completely.

It was as if at this time, Xia Yue rarely took into account his wishes, acting like a willful child acting like a spoiled child. Although it was abnormal, Shi Yan thought that there was a chance, and it was his turn to tolerate him.

Thinking of Shiyan like this made me feel very happy, I lowered my head and rubbed Xia Yue's hair, without saying a word, just let Xia Yue hold her quietly.

Xia Yue felt the touch on the top of his head, and Shi Yan's light rubbing suddenly soothed his agitated heart due to guilt. He relaxed the strength of hugging Shi Yan tightly, raised his head, and met Shi Yan's soft gaze.

Then it didn't move away.

After a while, Xia Yue burst out laughing.

He suddenly felt that what was he struggling with before.

In the past few days, he deliberately didn't think about Shiyan's talent in wine, and he really didn't think about it anymore. Instead, he cared more about whether his abnormality would make Shiyan uneasy. I'm so happy that I just want to hug Shiyan, this move is nothing but acting like a baby.

Looking back on what I have done and thought these days, the meaning behind it seems to be self-evident...

Now that his heart is so moved, Shi Yan's talent is just an embellishment to make Shi Yan more beautiful in his eyes. Although he does gain a bit, as long as he knows what is most important in his heart, that's enough.That is to say, in fact, he doesn't have the heart to let Shiyan be wronged at all, why is he worried that he will be tempted to use Shiyan's ability.

Xia Yue, who felt that he was such a fool, smiled and sighed, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched out his hand to caress Shi Yan's face, seeing that he didn't dodge, with a look of complete trust.

In the next second, Xia Yue moved his hand to the back of Shi Yan's head, and pressed him down hard.

Shi Yan suddenly widened her eyes and became stiff again.

Xia Yue smiled in both eyes, looked at Shi Yan who was obviously at a loss, bit Shi Yan's lower lip with his mouth, and ground it with his teeth, thinking evilly that since Shi Yan could show his expression in this way, then he should Kiss several times a day.

So from the next day, the considerate Xia Yue began to practice his decision responsibly.

Every time Shiyan was kissed, she would show some subtle expressions as Xia Yue wished. Xia Yue was very happy to see it, and couldn't help pinching Shiyan's face with her hands, and her earlobes were about to fall out of favor.

With the sweet atmosphere that everyone can't help but start to float between the two, the end of the year has quietly arrived.
