That night, Bai Qiaoqiao didn't leave. When Li Mu finished eating, she moved away from the table. The young couple were exhausted and cuddled together, lying down with their clothes on. On weekdays, Li Mu would have to touch and scratch a few times, but today he
He was so tired that he fell asleep in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms without saying a few words. Bai Qiaoqiao hugged him gently, and soon her eyelids sank. When she opened her eyes again, it was already bright.
She quickly put Li Mu down gently, took a pillow for him to rest on, briefly freshened up in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
When Li Mu woke up, Mrs. Sun had already gone to the construction site to talk to the women who were cooking. Bai Qiaoqiao was worried about Li Mu, so she asked Mrs. Sun to tell her that she would go over later and cook at noon as usual.
, vegetables and rice are enough. In fact, even if she is not present, Mrs. Sun will not make any mistakes. After all, she is not yet forty years old, so she is not considered old. In the past, she looked old because of worry and overwork.
During this period of time, I have almost recovered, and my whole face has become much more radiant. Otherwise, I would not have been unable to stay at home, and after dinner I would have gone to the construction site to chat with someone.
"Madam, your husband and I are going to do something big today!" Li Mu grunted as he finished the porridge Bai Qiaoqiao left for him and returned to the front yard, looking mysterious and mysterious.
Bai Qiaoqiao didn't know what he was up to, but she could still think of the parts he had obtained until midnight yesterday, so she followed him in and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No, no, no, you can't move it." Li Mu said as he packed up: "In this case, you go to the construction site and call a few people for me. Just tell me that I will pay double the wages and find young and strong people. It doesn't take too much.
Four or five will do!”
"Well, I'll go right away." When Bai Qiaoqiao heard that four or five people were needed to help, she knew that her little strength was of no use, so she hurried out for fear of delaying Li Mu's important event.
After a while, Bai Qiaoqiao came back with four people. They were all young men about the same age as Li Mu. But they seemed submissive in front of Li Mu. It was Li Mu who had been arranging their work these days. Everyone knew that he was from the county.
The county magistrate. Although we are all of the same age, our status is very different, so naturally we dare not act recklessly. Li Mu has already divided the various parts into piles, and each of the four people is responsible for the pile. Li Mu stood at the door and pointed to the west end of the street.
The shop asked them to move all the parts. The four young men each made two trips, and all the parts were delivered. Li Mu asked them to move the grain again, and he carried the steam cooling pipe, and the group broke the seal at the door of the shop.
, filed in.
The four of them were all craftsmen at the city wall construction site, and the work of laying bricks was no problem. According to Li Mu's instructions, the four of them built a large stove, which was used for steaming rice. They put an iron pot on it and laid bricks on it to seal it.
, then Li Mu let them rest nearby, and he used his carpentry skills to start assembling the distillation equipment.
After sweating all over the work, Li Mu finally completed the installation of the distillation equipment. Li Mu rubbed his hands, ordered people to wash the rice, put it in the pot, and cook the rice! After the rice was steamed, he put in the three cups he bought from the system for one tael of silver.
Pour the koji, stir, and seal the steamer.
"Okay, whether it's successful or not, it depends on tonight!" Li Mu took out the money from his pocket and gave it to him according to one day's wages. The four of them were happy. After half a day's work, they got two days' wages and paid it back in the afternoon.
I can earn a normal salary, and my income more than doubles inside and outside.
After sending away the workers, Li Mu was also hungry. He was about to go home to find something to eat when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao coming in with a bamboo basket. Li Mu couldn't help but laugh. No wonder he couldn't find her just now. It turned out that
It's time to go home and cook. This feeling is really comfortable. There is someone beside me who can coordinate with me. She will naturally appear in the right place when needed. This feeling may be called happiness.
"Lang Jun, what is this strange thing for?" Bai Qiaoqiao handed the bamboo basket to Li Mu, walked around the distillation equipment, and asked with some confusion.
Li Mu was biting the steamed bun in his mouth. Hearing Bai Qiaoqiao's words, he swallowed what was in his mouth and said, "I invented this to make wine. If it succeeds, the wine made with it will be better than your father's."
The wine you make tastes better and stronger!"
"Really?" Bai Qiaoqiao looked at the strange machine in front of her with some disbelief. It wasn't that she didn't believe Li Mu, but she felt that Li Mu had never brewed wine before. How could he invent a brewing machine? Her family was
As a wine shop owner, Bai Qiaoqiao has watched people make wine since he was a child, but he has never bought anything similar, so Bai Qiaoqiao is skeptical about whether Li Mu can make wine.
Li Mu nodded. He was full of confidence now and was not very worried about whether he could brew wine, because the system had never let him down before. He had just used the brewing technique, and the system showed that he had met the conditions for using the skill.
, the skill was successfully used, and now it is time to wait for the fermentation time to end before heating and distilling again. The system shows that "three cups of pouring" requires eight hours of fermentation time. Li Mu did a mental calculation and found that the time would be almost the same when the sun sets in the west.
So now he just needs to wait and see the results.
Bai Qiaoqiao watched Li Mu eating, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Li Mu noticed and smiled: "You can really make wine, don't you believe in your husband's ability?"
Bai Qiaoqiao shook her head and said: "Lang Jun, I'm not thinking about this. I'm... Oh, that's all, I'll just say it."
"Say it!"
Bai Qiaoqiao said seriously: "Lang Jun, I originally thought that you wanted to partner with my father because you wanted him to contribute to making wine, so I gave him double wages. But now it seems that there is no need for him in making wine, so
Why do we need to form a partnership? Our family can do this business by ourselves. I know you love me, but I feel bad about suffering such a big loss, and my mother can't explain it to me."
Li Mu laughed when he heard this and said: "I thought it was such a big deal, with such a solemn expression on my face. Didn't I tell you that he is your father, so he deserves my care. Besides, I didn't give him money for free.
Even if we can do this business by ourselves, I can't focus all my attention on doing business. You forgot, I am still the county magistrate of this county, and I have some official duties. When I am unable to do anything, why don't your father send me to do it?
Has it been used? He has been running a liquor store for more than 20 years and has experience in business. In the future, when it is inconvenient for me to show up, he can do a lot of things for me, so the money is not in vain. As for my mother, hasn’t it been said?
Okay, stop mentioning these things, if you don’t talk about them, my mother won’t be able to remember them!”
"But I feel uneasy!"
"With such a beautiful lady like you, I feel uneasy. I can't sleep every day because I'm afraid that someone will snatch her away." After Li Mu finished eating, there was no one around, so his true nature was exposed and he became rude: "
You are uneasy and I am uneasy too, can’t we get through life? As a family, don’t keep saying these useless words.”
