I open a small shop to support my family

Although he didn't recognize the patterns on the paper, he could still understand the words written on the side.

The word "distilling machine" was impressively written on it. Meng Yunshu held it in his hand and looked at it in disbelief, "Brother Huai, where did you get this blueprint?"

He always thought that it would be even more difficult to find opportunities for distillation. He thought that there was no distillation equipment in ancient times, and he judged it with modern thinking, but he ignored the four great inventions in the history of Huaguo. Out of gunpowder and a compass, how could a distillation instrument not be made?

Thinking of this, Meng Yunshu couldn't help shaking his head, it was he who underestimated the ancients.

Yu Jinhuai pulled him to sit down, folded the paper and put it in his hands, explaining unhurriedly: "When I was on the battlefield, I was fortunate enough to hear that the shochu that the general drank daily was distilled, so I waited until Fucheng I sent Yu Shan to inquire about it, and I just got it today."

Soju! !Meng Yunshu smiled helplessly. He knew shochu, but he didn't know how to make shochu. The earliest shochu in Huaguo's history could be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Soju has already appeared, which shows that the technology of this dynasty has developed well.

Meng Yunshu unfolded the paper in his hand again, and looked at it seriously, which made him discover something strange, "Brother Huai, since you are a shochu maker, why is it so small?"

Yu Jinhuai glanced at him approvingly, and explained: "Because this is not a distiller for making shochu, but for making crabapple water."

"Begonia water?" Meng Yunshu looked at him curiously, with doubts on his face, could it be possible that Xia Guo already has a perfume businessman?

Is it possible that this crabapple water is similar to the ancient rose water in Huaguo that he had seen before?

He remembered that he had read in a book when he was studying that rose water was introduced to China in the Song Dynasty, and it had already been sought after by everyone, but how could the rose water that had gone through mountains and rivers be cheap? The number is limited, so in order to earn more money, rose water was imitated, and only then did the distiller come into existence.

Although it is not as authentic as the exotic rose water fragrance, it still makes a lot of money.

And the farthest and largest place I have been to is Weiping Mansion, and I don’t like spices very much, unlike other original brothers who dress up all day, so I don’t know that there is such a thing as crabapple water.

Yu Jinhuai nodded, and continued to explain: "The person Yu Shan was looking for was originally in the liquor business, but something happened to the family, so he sold the property, leaving only an old still."

"I went there for it. During the conversation, I learned that he knew how to make crabapple water and how to make a still for crabapple water, so I discussed with him and finally bought it for 45 taels of silver. Download this blueprint."

"His family is a brewer, but he likes to toss some strange things. This blueprint was drawn after he was tortured. It is said that it is more efficient than those distillers on the market that specialize in making crabapple water. Eighty percent."

At first, Meng Yunshu was very happy when he heard Yu Jinhuai's words, but once he got involved with money, he immediately looked like a cat with fried hair, his eyes widened, and his hands tightly grasped Yu Jinhuai's sleeves.

"45 taels? Is it so expensive?" Robbing money?Even knowing that this blueprint cost 45 taels to buy is not a loss, Meng Yunshu couldn't cross that threshold in his heart.

Yu Jinhuai pointed his forehead with his fingers, and said softly: "Ayun, it's not expensive anymore, and he also said that he will take care of us while we are making the instruments, and he doesn't need to pay, just take care of him for a meal. Can."

Listening to his words, Meng Yunshu calmed down his emotions slowly, and it took a while to recover. He leaned listlessly on Yu Jinhuai's body, and asked sullenly, "What if the machine goes wrong in the future?"

Yu Jinhuai couldn't laugh or cry and said, "I'm looking for him too, but I have to pay for it. If he thinks of better blueprints in the future, he will give priority to selling them to us."

Meng Yunshu looked up at him and asked, "Then why didn't he think of selling this drawing to other people? Why did he sell it to you as soon as you went?"

Meng Yunshu couldn't figure out this question. There must be a lot of begonia water shops in Weiping Mansion, and there are more people who want to do the begonia water and shochu business. Why did Yu Jinhuai go to sell it to him?

"I have asked this question before." Yu Jinhuai said helplessly. He is not stupid, so he will naturally ask clearly.

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu tugged at his sleeve, "What did he say?"

"He said he forgot." Speaking of this reason, Yu Jinhuai felt that it was absurd, the family property could be sold, and a blueprint was nothing, but seeing his sincere eyes, Yu Jinhuai finally gave in.

Meng Yunshu immediately sat up straight, pulled his sleeve, stared straight at him, and asked with difficulty: "Do you believe it?"

Yu Jinhuai nodded.

Meng Yunshu helplessly bumped his head on his shoulder, "Are you a fool? Do you believe whatever he says?"

The silent Yu Jinhuai hugged his shoulder silently.

"Give him all 45 taels?"

"No, only half was given."

Hearing these words, Meng Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay, he wasn't so stupid as to give all the money to others.

Seeing Meng Yunshu's happy eyes and relaxed smile after straining, Yu Jinhuai sighed in his heart. He didn't finish his sentence. The young man later said that after he realized his reaction, he took the blueprints to find someone to sell, but there was no one. Believe him, the old shochu distiller at home can't be sold, and everyone thinks he is a liar. From the initial 70 taels, it has dropped step by step to the current 45 taels.

Holding Husband in his arms, Yu Jinhuai instantly felt satisfied.

"He will come tomorrow. He said that as long as I prepare the materials, he will do it himself."

Meng Yunshu, who had been busy all day, was peacefully drowsy in his arms, and only responded in a low voice when she heard him.

Sensing it, Yu Jinhuai hurriedly shook him awake, bumping into Meng Yunshu's aggrieved eyes, Yu Jinhuai restrained himself and kissed his forehead.

She softened her voice and coaxed him softly: "A Yun, go home and sleep."

Gradually regaining consciousness, Meng Yunshu nodded, didn't even have time to say hello to Yu Jinhuai, hurried out of the canteen, ran straight to her bed, and fell asleep as soon as she got out wrapped in the quilt.

Poor Yu Jinhuai who stayed in the canteen was still processing orders from the interstellar world, and had to deal with some old customers who were chasing him and asking him where Boss Meng was going.

If it weren't for the scar on his forehead and his cold face, there would probably be more people asking questions.

The moonlight entered the house, and Meng Yunshu, who was on the kang, slept more soundly.

Today is the end of school at Weiping Academy in Weiping Mansion. The management system of Weiping Academy is similar to that of a modern boarding school. Students enter school on the first day of each month, and they have been studying for eight days before they have a day off. It is called a small holiday. After [-] days of re-enrolment, there will be a three-day holiday. It is a big holiday. The big holiday and the small holiday take turns. Weiping Academy has children from farmers, so it is often the spring plowing and autumn harvest. During the winter season, Weiping Academy will specially give seven days off.

During these seven days, the students from the farm family will go home to help their parents farm, while the students from the rich family will be led by the masters of the school to cultivate the farmland specially leased by the Weiping School. Part of the income from these farmlands is taxed, and most of them are used by the school. The cafeteria is for students and teachers to eat, and the rest is donated to some poor or old people who cannot farm or children.

There are colleges like Weiping Academy in every prefecture, and they are all named according to the name of each prefecture. These prefectures are all funded by the state, and most of the rules and regulations are directly promulgated by the imperial court. , There are also special supervisors in the school, and there are rounds every two years.

There are also modern subsidies for poor students or student loans and so on.

This kind of education system has not been popularized in all counties yet, it is only set up in prefectural cities, but the teachers in the schools are all sent by the imperial court, most of them are Juren, and even each school has three Jinshi.

Therefore, even if everyone doesn't like the teaching of the academy, they will send their children here for the sake of the title of Jinshi.

Two days ago, Meng Yunshu and Yan Xu talked about sending Yu Zhining to the school, and Yan Xu told him about Weiping Academy.

At first, Meng Yunshu was shocked when he heard about this teaching system, but once he thought that his fellow villager Lu Ruan was a king, he felt normal again.

After all, they are all young people who have received Huaguo's nine-year compulsory education, and they have also enjoyed knowing the country's education policies. Although they cannot be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees like Huaguo, they can do well in student loans, poverty subsidies, and individualized education. of.

Because today is a small holiday, most of the students don't go home except those whose families are close to Fucheng, so they will take advantage of today's vacation to take a look at the new gadgets in Fucheng after they know about it.

And Qingshulou was on their list, no, all those who didn't lack money after school came.

Therefore, today Qingshu Building has the bustling scene when it just opened again.

Meng Yunshu will naturally pay attention to the school that Yan Xu mentioned to him. He also asked someone to inquire about it in private. Coupled with the filter of fellow villagers, Meng Yunshu has a strong interest in Weiping University. Now his shop There were so many students wearing school uniforms here, so he naturally wanted to observe more.

Look at their faces and spirits. If possible, he will take Yu Zhining there when Weiping Academy starts to register in June this year.

Facing Yu Chen's brother doing business, their faces did not show disgust or blame, their eyes were calm, and there was no trace of displeasure on their faces, but their demeanor and politeness were revealed in their demeanor. The grasp is just right, and there are a few impatient ones, who will automatically return to their original positions after failing for a while.

Seeing this, Meng Yunshu's affection for Weiping Academy is steadily rising.

The admiration for Lu Ruan in his heart is even higher. He has relied on the power of the plane store and Lu Ruan to have today's life, and Lu Ruan has directly made the education of Xia Guo and the lives of the people better. If he has With Lu Ruan's status, he felt that he would never be able to reach his status.

Yan Xu has been paying attention to his expression, and hastily moved to his side, and proudly asked: "After observing for a while, how do you feel?"

Meng Yunshu turned her head to look at him, and said sincerely, "Very good."

Yan Xu thought, that is, you must know that Lu Ruan quarreled with those censors and old antiques in the court hall for three whole days. After three days, Lu Ruan rested for a long time before jumping up and down alive. He paid so much If you work hard, Weiping Academy will never be able to run it.

Thinking of this, Yan Xu sighed faintly, wondering what happened to Lu Ru'an who was far away in Chang'an?

Just when Yu Zhining ran in from the gate with Yu Sheng and Yu Shangxu, a gust of wind blew up the school uniform of the student beside him, blocking his sight. I walked out with my partner, and when I left, I still had a jar of bamboo-scented shampoo and cypress-scented soap in my hand, talking to my friend.

At this moment, Meng Yunshu seemed to see Yu Zhining running towards him wearing the uniform of Weiping Academy, and then snuggled up to her side, talking to him about what happened during the past few days at school.

When Yu Zhining came over with candied haws, grabbed his clothes, and leaned against his arms, Meng Yunshu stroked his hair and asked, "A-Ning, would you like to go to school?"

Yu Zhining nodded without thinking.

Looking at his neat movements, Meng Yunshu was very happy.

"A Ning would like to go to Weiping Academy?"
