Seeing that the fish in the pot was almost cooked, Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Go get a bowl and a spoon. The fish soup is ready to drink."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and quickly ran to the kitchen to get a spoon and bowl.
Just when Xiao Ruxue left, Xiao Ye walked in from the door. As soon as he walked into the backyard gate, Xiao Ye's nose couldn't help but twitch. There was a very fragrant and fresh smell!
Xiao Ye looked around and finally focused on the fish in Xu Qing's hand in the small pavilion. He took two quick steps and entered the small pavilion and saw Xu Qing grilling fish. There was a stove next to him.
Fish soup is cooking on the stove.
Xu Qing saw Xiao Ye and said hello: "Brother Xiao is here?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "Alas..."
Xu Qing asked in confusion: "Why did Brother Xiao sigh?"
Xiao Ye said: "Of course it's Xiaoxue's business. Alas, Brother Xu, you don't know. Xiaoxue was angry all night again yesterday and didn't eat much for several meals... Are all women so arrogant?
Does it make sense?”
Xu Qing shook her head and said, "Actually, most women are still very gentle."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue came from the kitchen with a bowl and looked at Xiao Ye: How dare you say bad things about me!"
Xiao Ye shrank his neck: "I didn't..."
Xiao Ruxue said: "I heard it!"
Then Xiao Ruxue snorted, ignored Xiao Ye, walked to Xu Qing's side, filled two bowls of soup from the pot, placed one bowl next to Xu Qing's side, and drank the other bowl herself.
He also picked up a piece of grilled fish with the chopsticks on the side, put it into his mouth, and his eyes turned into crescent moons: "It's delicious!"
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Ruxue who was so happy that she narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but widen her eyes: "It's really amazing! Brother Xu, how did you do it?"
He remembered that Xiao Ruxue couldn't coax her in the past few days when Xu Qing was away.
As soon as Xu Qing finished her work today and took over, her sister quickly showed a smile.
Is Brother Xu so good at coaxing children?
Xiao Ye smelled the aroma of grilled fish and couldn't help but said: "Brother Xu, can you give me some?"
Brother Xu nodded and said, "Brother Xiao, do it yourself."
Anyway, there are two more grilled on the shelf. They will be ready soon. There is enough fish to eat.
Just when Xiao Ye stretched out his hand, Xiao Ruxue quickly took the fish that Xiao Ye was about to get in his hand: "I won't let you eat it, huh!"
Xiao Ye looked at his little sister in confusion: "Brother Xu grilled the fish, why don't you let me eat it?!"
Xiao Ruxue said: "I fed the fish! Who told you to say bad things about me just now?"
"I told you, I didn't!"
"If you don't admit your mistake, I won't let you eat grilled fish! Are you wrong?!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong."
"Then you are admitting that you just said bad things about me!"
…
Xiao Ye looked at his sister blankly, speechless for a moment...
Xu Qing also mourned for Xiao Ye in his heart. He actually wanted to reason with the woman, and his brain was broken.
What is the difference between a woman and an enemy?
At least the enemy can negotiate...
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Okay, okay, if you continue to argue, the fish will be burnt. One for each person, hurry up and eat."
…
Xiao Ye finally had the grilled fish he had dreamed of. He looked at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu, that wine..."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "It's already brewed. Why don't we bring it over in the afternoon and send it over?"
It is said that it is wine making, but it is actually a pipe made of several hollow bamboos, and the alcohol is distilled and purified over and over again using the distillation method learned in junior high school chemistry.
There is no technical content in this thing. As long as there are enough raw materials, you can have as much wine as you want. It’s just that the distillation time is a little longer and requires enough patience.
In the days before the wedding, Xu Qing gave Xian Wang a lot of treatment at his own home.
He thought about it carefully, and sometimes he still needed to send some gifts to King Xian. After all, if his nominal father-in-law could not withstand the pressure from the Xu family, King Xian would probably be his last resort.
Take advantage of others who have short hands, and take advantage of others who are weakest.
After feeding the wise king, if Xu Qing encounters some difficulties in the future, can he not help him?
Is he embarrassed?!
Xu Qing originally invented this thing for sterilization, and it can also be used to physically cool down if you have a fever.
Therefore, I spent a little money to make one that is enough to deal with any extreme situation. It is not much, but it is useful.
As for making money by selling spirits? He had never thought of doing that.
There are two reasons for this:
First, the bookstore now opened by Xu Qing earns so much profit every month that Xu Qing can't spend all his money, and he can still save a fortune.
Since he can’t spend all the money, why does he still sell wine?
Are you too busy? Or have you lost your sights on money?
Isn’t it enough to make enough money to spend?
He is very lazy. He would never stand up if he could lie down to make money. He would never be awake if he could sleep to make money, let alone put all his effort into selling spirits.
Wouldn't it be better to save some time to tease Xiao Ruxue and go to Goulan to listen to music?
Why live so tiringly?
Second, Xu Qing is actually not sure whether there is a market for spirits in Dachu. Although Dachu has a long wine culture, it is rice wine culture, not liquor culture.
Rice wine is very popular in the circle of literati and poets. Xu Qing remembers a poem written by Li Bai in his previous life: Lanling fine wine tulips, jade bowls filled with amber light.
The amber light is naturally the luster of rice wine.
This shows that not only Dachu, but also the ancient wine culture of Xu Qing's previous life may have been dominated by rice wine culture.
Moreover, the nutritional value of rice wine is much higher than that of white wine, and it is often used as a medicinal primer.
As for when to drink liquor? Of course it is when you want to drink away your worries and numb yourself.
If you don’t have any worries and don’t want to get drunk, who has time to drink strong liquor?
Of course, except for the Xian Wang... According to Xu Qing's observation, he is purely idle, which makes Xu Qing wonder if he is called the Xian Wang because he is too idle on weekdays.
It is not ruled out that it is a habit developed on the battlefield. Many veterans who fight on the battlefield like the feeling of getting drunk before resting. Xu Qing has never been on the battlefield to understand this.
After all, making wine is a very expensive job. If you make a batch of spirits and end up with no market, you won't be able to sell them at all.
Xu Qing can compensate until he cries to death!
Nowadays, Xu Qing has just saved some money. Of course, he must be cautious about making money. This is not his usual story writing in a bookstore, and it is not something he says he can make money if he can.
It's easy to write a story, but it's not the same thing to do. Xu Qing can't gamble with his limited funds. He really can't afford it.
