Take the space to flirt with the daughter-in-law

Although Ah Shui said repeatedly that it was all right, Kidou'er took a few suspicious glances, but he couldn't see anything, so he continued to gnaw on the meatloaf.

After being interrupted by the child, the embarrassment subsided a lot. Although Ah Shui's face was still red, his breath was calm after all: "Brother Xu suddenly remembered to ask this?"

"People in Qingxi Township don't want to spend money and don't drink much, but Bronze Town is different. It is next to the pier, and a lot of wine is shipped from the sea. There is also a lot of wine in the town that is sold to other places. Go, so there are quite a lot of people selling alcohol in the old street, as for how much they earn, I don’t know.”

After honestly explaining the news he knew to Xu Zhengrong one by one, Ah Shui showed a puzzled look on his face: "Brother Xu, is he planning to start a wine business?"

Xu Zhengrong did have this plan, and came up with another idea for it, that is to make fruit wine and medicinal wine.

The mountains on which Qingxi Township is backed are quite rich in products. When he went up the mountain that day, he recognized many wild fruit trees suitable for brewing fruit wine on the mountain. He must have seen the mountains full of fruits in summer.

Moreover, the wild fruits on the mountain are ownerless, and the villagers are busy with summer plowing. Except for the peasant women and children who will pick them, almost no one cares about the wild fruits. Instead of letting most of the fruits rot in the mountains or let the birds peck them It is better to use it as a material for wine making, which can save material money and make money at no cost.

Through hazy memory, Xu Zhengrong knew that alcohol was still quite attractive to the men of the Xu country. At least the original owner had cheekily asked his elder brother for money to buy alcohol at the liquor store many times.

However, I don't know if it's because of the low price. The quality of the wines the original owner drank is really not that good. Even in the eyes of an expert like Xu Zhengrong, who was once obsessed with collecting famous wines, he can only use "poor quality" wines. words to describe.

And it is precisely this kind of low-quality wine that can attract the original owner to sneak out for a drink or two every three days. Xu Zhengrong vaguely feels that brewing wine may be a good way to make money.

Although he had thousands of plans in his heart, Xu Zhengrong didn't reveal anything on his face, he just responded vaguely: "I have this plan, but I haven't thought about the specifics yet. After all, I'm already a big brother. It's not easy for my elder brother and sister-in-law to take care of my family. I also want to find a way out and share some of the burden for them.”

Xu Zhengrong had heard some comments about Ah Shui in the village before. Everyone said that he was a wimp, and he knew how to suck the blood of his brother and sister-in-law, and often used him as a negative example for educating children.

Because of this, Ah Shui didn't have a good impression of Xu Zhengrong at first.

It wasn't until later that he was rescued by Xu Zhengrong, and he was grateful that he had a lot of contact with Xu Zhengrong. After several contacts, he gradually discovered that Brother Xu seemed to be different from what the rumors said.

Just like now, Brother Xu is quite self-motivated.

Ah Shui's black eyes were shining, and he smiled sweetly at Xu Zhengrong: "That's a good thing! Brother Xu, you have always been lucky, if you work hard, you will definitely succeed!"

It was the first time for the little brother to show a defenseless smile in front of himself. Xu Zhengrong was attracted by the small dimple on the side of his face. A person who can speak kind words was so stupidly stunned and scratched. Head, followed by hehe laughed twice.

He had a general idea in his heart, coupled with the unreserved trust and support of his younger brother, he was full of energy for a while, and when Chin Douer finished eating the meatloaf, Xu Zhengrong was already strolling along the market After a circle, there were several gourds of wine in his hand.

He also euphemistically said: "Know yourself and know the enemy, and you can win a hundred battles." He found several wine shops that seemed to have a good business, and chose the best wine to order. When he went back, he had a good taste.

Kidou'er looked at the gourds in his uncle's hand, and was so frightened that he didn't even suck his hands. The little one had just reached Xu Zhengrong's knee, and it almost jumped up when it raised its head. He shouted: "Uncle, you are spending money indiscriminately again! I'm going to tell Daddy!"

Little ghost, not only is he not afraid of him now, he has actually learned to threaten him!

Without hesitation, Xu Zhengrong freed up a hand, bent his index finger, and flicked it on his small forehead: "What do children know? Your uncle and I call it research market, try it later and see if you can do it." Can't make better wine than these wine shops."

Kidou'er couldn't understand what Xu Zhengrong was talking about about business, so he just covered his forehead and hid behind Ah Shui with an "ah".

Ah Shui protected the child with one hand, while looking at Xu Zhengrong with worried eyes.

Ah Shuiyuan thought that the business Xu Zhengrong mentioned meant wholesale wine from the wine shop for retail sales, so as to make a difference in price, but he didn't expect that he planned to make wine.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xu Zhengrong, it's just that brewing wine is a handicraft, and most of them are kept secret from the ancestors. Brother Xu, does he know how to brew wine?

Just looking at Xu Zhengrong's confident appearance, he was too embarrassed to speak out, no matter how many words of persuasion came out of his mouth, he kept suppressing it and said nothing.

He secretly thought that after Big Brother Xu tried it and knew the difficulties of making wine, he might give up this unreliable plan.

Xu Zhengrong couldn't see the faint worry in Ah Shui's eyes.

It's perfectly normal to have this kind of worry.

Although Xu Guo has a brewing industry, it is not as prosperous as the later generations. Many Xu Guo people do not even know the most basic brewing process. The original owner is just a reckless man who has not seen much in the village. Ah Shui doesn't trust him.

Xu Zhengrong didn't explain too much to Ah Shui, and silently lifted up the hanging wine gourd in his hand, "It's getting late, do you want to go to the street to see if there is anything you want?" Yes, I just bought them together."

Kidou'er and Ah Shui were quickly distracted by the dazzling array of goods on the old street.

First, he picked out some household items that were in short supply at home, and Xu Zhengrong also fulfilled his promise to Kidou'er, weighing a whole two catties of pork belly at the butcher's shop, and the child was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

Ah Shui didn't dare to spend money lavishly like him, the copper coins were sweating tightly in his hands, and he exchanged for a small handful of white rice.

The price of white rice is much higher than that of brown rice. If it weren't for the fact that Mammy was always thinking about a sip of white porridge, he would never be willing to part with it.

After everything was purchased, Xu Zhengrong brought three or four fluffy little yellow ducks from a stall in some corner, and they looked so cute squeezed in a small bamboo cage.

There are quite a lot of scattered things, and when they are put on the ox cart, they often provoke trifling chatter from the driver.

Xu Zhengrong was annoyed by his non-stop babbling, so he simply paid a few extra copper coins, and it was considered clean to cover the entire ox cart.
