Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 306;

Chapter 307;

Li Yu has been very busy recently, very busy, staying in the brewing workshop every day, researching with the craftsmen of the brewing, how to improve the production of Wuliangye, in order to make the wine taste more mellow and have a higher yield rate.

After more than two months of hard work by the craftsmen, the brewing technology in the workshop has become more and more mature, and the craftsmen have become more and more proficient.

It's no longer like the beginning, wasting food everywhere, and the wine production rate is low.

In direct proportion to proficiency, the output of each pot of baijiu has increased by a little over [-]% compared to before.

The direct result is that the cost of liquor has dropped a lot. If you consider making a little less money, even the common people can drink it.

Li Yu specially asked the craftsmen to store the second pot of wine with the most authentic taste separately, because the taste is more delicious, and it is specially targeted at those rich people to sell.

Li Yu is a stingy man. In order to save money first, he directly approved the construction of a small cave dwelling dedicated to burning wine jars. He produces and uses them himself, so he doesn't need to buy jars from outside.

Moreover, after Li Yu's experience from later generations pointed out, the wine jars that have been burned now are of high quality and beautiful appearance, which is pleasing to the eye. It is estimated that many people will not be willing to throw away the jars after drinking.

Wandering around in Workshop No. [-], Li Yu looked around, doing nothing;
"Tie Dan, where is your mother, are you on duty today?"

Tie Dan, who was instructing the craftsmen to work, immediately turned around when he heard the question;
"If you go back to Mr. Lang, my mother will take a rest today. She is not on duty and is resting at home."

Li Yu stuffed the meatloaf into his mouth with the meatloaf in his hand, and said vaguely;

"Oh, tell her when you go back tonight, I'll go to your house for lunch tomorrow, and ask your mother to prepare some dishes for me. I heard that she learned a good skill from Liu Sheng, and I want to try it too."

Tie Dan was so excited when he heard this, he quickly agreed;
"Hey, don't worry, my lord, the villain will talk about it when I go back, or~ I'll go back and talk about it now..."

"Come on, you, work first, go back tonight and tell me, where is your house manager?"

Tie Dan stuck his head out of Workshop No. [-], pointed to Xiao Tong's office and said;

"No, it's in his room. I saw him go in just now."

Li Yu wobbled, came to Xiao Tong's room, and saw Xiao Tong was explaining some things to the stewards, so he sat alone and waited.

"Bai He, go get me some hot water to eat, I'm a bit thirsty."

Xiao Tong took time out of his busy schedule to say something;
"Bai He, I just made a pot of hot water, and I put it next door, you just go and get it."

"Yes, Mr. Xiao is in charge, wait a moment, my servant, I will go get it now."

Xiao Tong raised his head again and interjected;
"Brother, please sit down and come to accompany you after I finish talking."

Li Yu quickly stretched out his hand and waved it;

"You're busy, you're busy, I'm just wandering around."

Not long after, Bai He came in with a big bowl of hot water, Li Yu drank half of the bowl unhurriedly, Xiao Tong finally explained the matter, and sent a few managers to leave.

Sitting in the chair next to Li Yu, Xiao Tong relaxed his body and stretched his legs;
"Oh my dear brother, you urged us to start brewing wine non-stop. Now look, all the warehouses are full and there is no place to pile them up."

"Brother, don't panic, if you can't pile it up, you will store it in the wing room in the front yard next door. Anyway, there are too many houses in the mansion."

"Brother Yu, according to Brother Yu's guess, Chang'an City should have been out of stock by now. Yesterday I went to the household department on business and listened to some small officials.

It is said that in Chang'an City, a catty of baijiu is now sold for a thousand guan, and there is still no general who is willing to take out half a catty. I think it is time for us to buy wine. "

Li Yu looked at the beam above, and said leisurely;
"Well, brother is right, it's really time to drink, just for two days, when I go back later, I will tell someone to inform the steward of the chariots and horses, and start preparations tomorrow.

Either don’t pull it, or pull it non-stop for ten days, pull one hundred cars a day, and start three times, with an interval of two hours.

This time, we must make a big splash and set up a full-scale battle. Put one of Wuliangye's big red wine flags on every car, and ask the people in Chang'an City to see how much our liquor is in stock, so they don't scare them to death. . "

Xiao Tong, as the brewery and the communicator with the household department, knew all the plans, so he came over and said;
"My dear brother, do you want to call a team of wine carts and drive them around Chang'an City before taking them to the household department?"

Li Yu's eyes lit up;
"Yes, I need it too much, so I can't do it. By the way, brother, if I take my liquor to the household department, will someone steal it? There are too many people on duty in the household department. If they all go to get it... so what?" disposal?"

"Don't worry, dear brother, I told my eldest grandson Shangshu about this matter yesterday, and Shangshu is also prepared to deal with it. Once the liquor enters their warehouse, a receipt will be given, one yard for one yard.

In the future, if a catty is lost, it will be directly deducted from the half of the distribution of the household department. No one dares.

What's more, there are special guards arranged by His Majesty's Beiya Imperial Army, so there is no need to worry about this, Your Majesty may be too anxious, and even the Imperial Army has been mobilized.

I heard that the monthly money in the palace was distributed last month, not even in the palace of Her Royal Highness and the four concubines, let alone others.

If we don't proceed with the sale of baijiu ingredients, eating and drinking in His Majesty's palace may become a problem. "

Li Yu was dumbfounded when he heard that, he couldn't understand how the king of this country could get so mixed up;
"Brother, isn't what you said too exaggerated? Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord. The whole world is his old man's, and he still needs money to use it?"

Xiao Tong shook his head and said;
"Your Majesty, I don't know something. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Your Majesty, even the Ninth Five-Year Lord, also has difficulties.

In such a big world, everyone is opening their mouths everywhere, asking His Majesty for money, and His Majesty doesn't know how to waste money, can't you feel uncomfortable?
I heard that the private treasury that His Majesty filled last year has been moved out again, oh..."

Li Yu was about to answer the conversation when Li Yi rushed in anxiously;

"Sir, sir, someone is coming from the palace."

Li Yu asked strangely;

"Someone from the palace? Could it be someone arranged by His Majesty to manage my borrowing money?"

Li Yi took a few breaths before answering;

"Lang Junrong, it wasn't sent by His Majesty, but the night manager next to His Highness the Queen.

Sitting alone in the main hall and drinking tea, Mr. Hurry go back, lest people say that you have neglected him, we dare not neglect you who come from the palace. "

Li Yu nodded, and stood up neatly. People from the palace, of course, can't put on airs;

"Brother, I'll go back and have a look, and you'll be busy with your work. I'll talk about drinking after I get rid of the nightclub."

Xiao Tong accompanied him to the door and hurriedly said;
"My dear brother, hurry back and entertain the people from the palace. It's easy for us to discuss."

Li Yu came to the main hall quickly, and sure enough, the chief executive next to the queen was sipping tea.

After adjusting his facial expression, Li Yu smiled like a spring breeze;

"Nightmaster, what brought you here, I haven't seen you for a long time, how have you been?"

Ye Qingzhi was eating mutton with big mouthfuls. The palace has been running out of money recently, and the people in the palace have not seen meatballs for more than ten days.

The cooks in this county magistrate's mansion are top-notch if they are good at cooking. The pot of tea they make is delicious and just right for the saltiness.

And it's very affordable, a bowl of tea, half of the bowl is full of mutton, and it's also big. Yeqing's food is a joy, big pieces blooming.

While enjoying herself beautifully, she heard Li Yu's voice coming from the entrance of the main hall, and Ye Qingzhi reluctantly put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up;
"It turns out that Uncle Li is back, and our family is being polite."

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, Li Yu has reciprocated the courtesy, and the manager still invites you to sit down."

"Huh? Why did you just make some tea, Li Yi, tell someone to go to the kitchen, make a table and wait for the noodles to come over. I will have a few cups with the night manager, so that we can catch up on the past."

"Yes, the villain will do it now."

Now the entire mansion knows that whenever a guest comes to the mansion, the first thing the Patriarch says is, make a table and serve it first.

You don't need to tell anyone, Li Yi just went for a formality, when he heard that someone from the palace was coming in the kitchen, he immediately started to practice.

Ye Qingzhi coaxed her hands and said with a smile;

"It's too much trouble. Since the county uncle is kind, it's disrespectful."

"Why are you being polite? We are not outsiders. By the way, the night manager is here from the palace. I don't know how the empress is doing recently?"

When Ye Qingzhi heard this, he sighed directly, and said with a sad face;

"The county uncle doesn't know something. His Highness has lost a lot of weight recently and can't sleep at night. This..."

As soon as Li Yu heard that the old lady who was exactly the same as her mother in the previous life lost a lot of weight,
A filial piety was immediately hooked out, and then I remembered that my mother in the previous life looked like she was seriously ill and couldn't eat, so she leaned over anxiously and asked;

"What's the matter, is the empress sick? At the end of the year, will you be fine?"

Ye Qingzhi came over with a task, and had already thought up his speech on the way, so he just memorized it without thinking about it;

"If you're sick, you're not sick, but you're just worried. The magistrate is far away from Lantian County, but he doesn't know the pain in the palace.

His Majesty is in a hurry to build righteous warehouses for all the counties in the world, and the private treasury is still a drop in the bucket. His Highness is also anxious.

Let the servants directly evacuate all the warehouses in our palace. Now, except for some treasures that His Majesty rewarded in the past,
There are no more money, silk and silk, but I am in charge of more than 100 pennies, which can be regarded as the last property of His Highness, alas..."

As soon as Li Yu heard that he was not ill, he sat down again, and after hearing Ye Qingzhi's words, Li Yu also became deep in thought, it seems that what the brother of the Xiao family said was true, even the empress's palace was cleaned up.

After contemplating, Li Yu stroked his chest with his hand;

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good that the empress is not sick, and the matter of money and silk should be solved slowly, and the night manager should not follow suit."

Ye Qingzhi was about to continue expressing his opinion, when the servant who arranged the table came in to report;
"I would like to report to the Patriarch, the kitchen is ready and ready to serve. May I ask the Patriarch whether to place it in the side hall or to eat in the main hall. The villain can also arrange for servants to serve it."

Li Yu turned to look at Ye Qingzhi and asked with a smile;

"Night manager, why don't we go to the side hall to eat and talk more conveniently, what do you think?"

"Great goodness."

Ye Qingzhi quickly nodded in agreement, he wished he could find a room where there was no one, and cry aloud to impress this little God of Wealth...

Ye Qingzhi agreed, but he was muttering in his heart, it only took a while to prepare a table of noodles, could it be that I'm coming today...?
After muttering, Ye Qingzhi got up with Li Yu, chatted and laughed, and sat down in the side hall. A group of maids immediately brought a table of big dishes, neatly arranged, nine big dishes, that is, The color and fragrance are complete, whether it is smelling or watching, it is very comfortable.

Ye Qingzhi was lamenting just now that half of the bowl of tea was filled with mutton pieces, now looking at the table of delicious food, he began to regret again, he ate the half bowl of mutton just now,
It's a good thing he didn't eat enough, otherwise, if he couldn't take a bite of such a rich table of food, it would kill him.
