Li Siwen squatted on the city wall for a day, looking longingly in the direction of Li Mu's house and sighing. At this time, Wang Hu climbed up and said: "Sir, there is a letter from the general."
"My father?" Li Siwen hurriedly took the letter from Wang Hu. After checking the paint, he opened it without Wang Hu carrying it.
"Well..., alas...!" Li Siwen sighed unconsciously while reading the letter. The letter was very long, with three pages. After reading them all, Li Siwen sighed, folded the paper, and put it away again.
He put it into the envelope and put it into his arms. When Wang Hu saw him like this, he knew without guessing that he must have been scolded. At this time, Wang Hu didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he said: "
It’s okay, I’ll go on patrol!”
"Don't worry," Li Siwen stopped Wang Hu and said, "Let me go to Li Mu's house first. He hasn't come to the construction site all day. I'm afraid he's angry."
Wang Hu said firmly: "If you ruin someone's future, anyone else would be angry."
"Why did I ruin his future? How did I ruin his future!" Li Siwen became angry and said, "I regard him as a brother. Is it too much for brothers to help each other?"
Wang Hu didn't save him any face at all, saying: "It depends on whether the person is willing or not. Making the decision without even saying hello is not what brothers do!"
"You!" Li Siwen gritted his teeth, raised his fist and gestured, and said bitterly: "If I can't beat you, do you think I can beat you?"
Wang Hu ignored him directly and turned around and walked down the city without any fear. He was Li Ji's personal soldier, not a slave of the Li family. What is a personal soldier? They were the soldiers who guarded Li Ji's life on the battlefield.
As long as they don't die, Li Ji will never be in danger. Wang Hu is in his early thirties and has been with Li Ji for more than ten years. He is his absolute confidant and someone he absolutely trusts. To what extent does he trust him? The same thing
, if what Li Siwen said is inconsistent with what Wang Hu said, Li Ji would believe Wang Hu but not Li Siwen. Therefore, Li Siwen would never dare to treat Wang Hu as a servant, let alone take action.
If his father finds out, he will be whipped.
After getting off the city, the two rode horses to Li Mu's house. General Tie opened the door, and Li Siwen tugged on the lock and wondered: "Where did the person go? Could it be over there at the camp?"
"Well," Wang Hu responded vaguely, his nose twitching. Seeing this, Li Siwen said, "Brother Wang, are you having a convulsion?"
"Wine!" Wang Hu dropped a word and drove his horse forward. His nose was the navigation, and it was not far away. He soon found the door of the shop at the west end of the street. The door was not closed, so Wang Hu looked inside.
, it was Li Mu and Bai Qiaoqiao who were busy.
"Found it!" Wang Hu shouted and pointed to the door. Not only did Li Siwen hear the voice, but Li Mu also heard it. Li Mu looked back and saw that it was Wang Hu and Li Siwen, and shouted quickly:
"Madam, the robbers are coming, hurry up and close the door!"
Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't really go to the customs. She glanced at him and came to the door to meet Li Siwen and Wang Hu. Li Siwen shouted dissatisfied and said, "Li Mu, you are so stingy. You are hiding at home secretly drinking.
Where did you get the good wine? It tastes so strong. Is it Sanlejiang made by the Hu people?"
As he spoke, the speaker had already barged in. Seeing the huge distillation equipment in front of him, Li Siwen was so shocked that he opened his mouth and said, "What is this! Are you making wine?!"
"Are you surprised?" Li Mu threw a piece of wood into the stove. Now it is a distillation process. It needs to be heated continuously to let the alcohol evaporate. What Wang Hu just smelled was the alcohol. The alcohol slowly rose and entered the cooling tube.
, as the temperature drops, it condenses back into liquid and falls into the jar at the end of the device drop by drop.
"My good brother, you can even make wine! What else can't you do?" Li Siwen sighed, with admiration on his face. As he said this, he had already moved to the wine jar, and Li Mu quickly stopped him.
He said: "You can't drink it!"
Li Siwen turned a deaf ear, grabbed a bowl, reached into the wine jar and scooped out a bowl. Li Mu reached out to stop him in time, so he raised his head and stewed it in.
Li Mu felt spicy looking at it and grinned unconsciously. Why is this guy so eager? The alcohol content of this Toudao wine is as high as 70 or 80 degrees. It must be blended or distilled again before he can drink it. He, a person who has traveled through time in later generations, dare not drink it.
Try it, Li Siwen, a man from the Tang Dynasty who grew up drinking low-alcohol wine, who gave him the courage!
Li Siwen's face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes gradually became dull and straight, and liquid seemed to be flowing down his mouth. Li Mu couldn't help but feel worried, and asked carefully: "How do you feel? Do you want to drink some water?"
"It's so strong...the wine..." After reluctantly saying this, Li Siwen rolled his eyes and fell on his back. Li Mu quickly caught him, and he could smell the alcohol even two feet away from his face, which made him choke.
If you can't breathe, turn away quickly.
"She must be drunk, it's okay!" Li Mu checked and made a judgment. He and Wang Hu carried Li Siwen to the kang of the shop in the front yard, and let him sleep.
"Is this wine really that strong?" When he returned to the backyard workshop, Wang Hu took a look at the wine in the jar and felt that apart from being clearer and stronger, it didn't seem to have any great qualities. Li Mu was speechless to these naive Tang Dynasty people.
, brought a bowl and scooped half of it for him, and said: "If you want to drink, just take it to the front yard to drink. You are so big, I can't move it."
Wang Hu nodded, took the bowl to the front yard, and never came back.
Bai Qiaoqiao took a look and came back: "Lang Jun, both of us have fallen asleep. Is this wine so strong?"
"Don't try it!" Li Mu quickly stopped him. This is 70-80% alcohol. Who knows what the consequences will be if you drink it in your stomach. It's okay for those two fools to drink too much, but his wife can't.
Take this risk. Li Mu explained: "Madam, it's not that I don't let you drink it. You can't drink it yet. The wine is not yet finished... Well, it can be called 'alcohol' at the moment. It needs to be blended before it can be drunk."
"So that's it. I'll try it again after the blending is done." Bai Qiaoqiao believed Li Mu's words, because she didn't believe that Li Mu could make wine just now, but she didn't expect that he actually made it. Since Li Mu came back this time,
Every time he did something beyond her expectation, and now that he had brewed such good wine, Bai Qiaoqiao was completely convinced by him.
"Mr. Lang, let me fill the firewood for you."
"Okay!" Li Mu climbed up to the steamer to add water and replied casually: "Just fill it slowly. It's mainly steaming. If the fire is too fast, it will dry out. Just use a low fire."
"I see."
Bai Qiaoqiao responded, but before she finished speaking, a voice came from behind: "Sister, brother-in-law, are you making wine? Haha, I have to try it!"
