Chapter 497 The cannon-fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (19)
The next morning, Xu Yin had breakfast and was tending the pots of mint in front of the window sill, hoping that they would grow vigorously. When she saw Ziyuan coming in with a smile and saying good news:
Girl, Xu Kui is back and said that he bought Heniantang for only five hundred taels!
He Niantang? Xu Yin raised her eyebrows, feeling that it sounded a bit familiar.
Girl, I must have heard that Heniantang is the winery that was awarded a plaque by the emperor and selected as a tribute wine by the current emperor!
Xu Yin remembered. In the original text, after the male protagonist won the first prize in the examination and became the consort, Hualufang in Fengcheng launched a number one red wine, which was favored by the male protagonist. Soon, Hualufang in Fengcheng replaced it. Luocheng Heniantang became a tribute wine.
This is because there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do things with.
Xu Yin even made a comment about it at that time.
Eh, thats not right!
Xu Yin was puzzled: "He Niantang should still be offering tribute wine now."
The male protagonist is still just a poor scholar, and he is still far away from becoming the number one scholar. He Niantang should not have been replaced by Hualufang.
That slave didnt know. I heard from Xu Kui that the original owner of Heniantang wanted to retire to his former residence, so he transferred it to him at a low price.
Xu Yin asked Zi Yuan to call Xu Kui in, and asked him carefully about the acquisition of Heniantang. After listening, he was thoughtful.
So, He Niantang is no longer a tribute wine?
Perhaps there is no detailed description in the original text.
In any case, she wanted to buy a wine shop, and Xu Kui was lucky enough to meet He Niantang, who had contributed wine to the court. It was a bit of great luck.
She didnt even use the [Prosperous Luck and Disaster Disaster] skill.
Could it be that she really has the physique of a koi carp? Is it just that she doesnt know?
"Girl, I asked the original owner of the winery. The original wine-making tools and some leftover wine-making materials are not going to be taken away. If the girl wants to make wine, she can start working at any time." Xu Kui said.
Xu Yin waved her hand: "There's no hurry."
Ziyuan rummaged through the cabinets and found the thickest cloak and put it on her girl.
Hong Qian burned a pot of smokeless charcoal and installed a hand warmer for Xu Yin. When she brought it in, she asked, "Girl, what kind of ingredients does Miss Laba porridge like?"
Xu Yin had no particular preference for this, so she just let the cook decide.
When Xu Kui went up the mountain, he met the village chief, and his words seemed to reveal that the villagers planned to give Laba porridge to the girl. In this case, should we also prepare an extra pot and give it back to the villagers?
"That's the reason." Xu Yin nodded, "You ask the kitchen to cook more..."
After a pause, he changed his words and said: "Forget it, it's too troublesome for them to go up and down the mountain. You can ask the cook to carry the ingredients directly to the fragrance shop and cook them there. I will go to worship my parents early tomorrow morning, and then we will go down the mountain. We'll stay overnight at Xiangxiangfang tomorrow night, exchange Laba porridge with the villagers the next morning, and then go back home."
The Fragrance House is built in the style of a courtyard house. There are two guard rooms in the inverted building, two lounges for night shift workers in the backyard, and a fully equipped kitchen.
Its just that not to mention the night shift workers, the day shift workers are all on vacation, and the rest room and kitchen have not been used, but it is convenient for them and their group to temporarily borrow a place to stay.
Zi Yuan and Hong Qian went to prepare for going down the mountain tomorrow.
Xu Yin put the perfume notes she compiled these days into the system warehouse. This is equivalent to a trade secret. It is better to keep it safe than in a portable space.
Mint asked the nursing staff to take a pot down the mountain and asked the village chief to take care of it.
There is nothing to do, just see the sunshine when the sun is on, and pour some water when it becomes wilted.
She buried some flower and plant maintenance agent to prevent root rot in the mint soil, and mixed in a little Taoyuanxing soil.
If this method can allow them to survive this winter robustly, she plans to build a row of flower greenhouses in Xujia Village next year.
The next day, after Xu Yin paid homage to her elders, she went down the mountain and met the village chief, and they started chatting about this matter.
I thought that since I was planning to build a greenhouse, it would be best to communicate with the village chief first. If he was unwilling to sell the village land to her to build a greenhouse, it would be better to look for idle land elsewhere as soon as possible.
She will definitely build a greenhouse anyway.
In addition to providing the fragrance shop with flowers for extracting essential oils after winter, you can also grow some off-season vegetables.
Since entering the twelfth lunar month, there are too few types of vegetables that can be eaten, either cabbage or radish, and she is still fasting.
After hearing what she said, the village chiefs face was full of questions: "Big shed? What is this?"
