Volume One: Everything in the World, Endless Prosperity Chapter 139 Baihu Mountain
After Qi Yunmeng scolded him, he did not stay at all, or even looked back, and went straight towards his residence. This was what Jiang Ning wanted. He did not want to have anything to do with this strong woman, Dean Qi.
Such a person is maverick and can't guess what she is thinking or what she will do next. He doesn't like things that are uncertain, even for people. To be precise, he rejects them.
The main road in the north of the city is divided by Zhuque Street in the north and south and Confucius Street in the east and west. Compared with the West Lake in the center of the city and the Taishou Mansion and General Mansion in the south of the city, it is a lot more lonely. Most of them are home to small traders.
By this time, stalls had already been set up in the streets and alleys of the city. There were only children laughing and playing in the streets and alleys, covering themselves with mud and enjoying themselves endlessly.
Jiang Ning turned left and right and came to a north-south alley called Mao'er Lane. He took out a key from his arms, opened the lock, and closed the door. What he saw was a somewhat messy small
There were three houses side by side in the yard. After pushing the door open, Jiang Ning sat down on the chair and took out the seal for sealing.
Put the wax in the mouth of the glass tube on the table into a sealed glass bottle, seal it with wax, pour white wine into the glass container on the other side, seal it, and then set up a small bottle on the kerosene lamp
Put the water in the pot, put the glass bottle in it, and then put the glass bottle connected to the white wine in the wooden box on the ground.
Picking up the brush in hand, I started working hard on the memory on the other side of the table...
This seemingly simple distillation process is a simple process of making homemade alcohol. Jiang Ning is not sitting idle, but has a lot to do.
This era is very similar to the Northern Song Dynasty. The current Turkic royal court is similar to the Liao Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty is not much different from the Jurchen tribe. Even this pattern is very similar. He is a history major, so he still has this sensitivity.
, everything is from the five years after the end of the Tang Dynasty
Something went wrong in the Ten Kingdoms of the Dai Dynasty. It was not Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin who unified China, but Xia Gaozu. However, whether it was a cup of wine that released military power after that, or whether it was culture over military affairs, the Blackwater Alliance ten years ago was too similar to the Northern Song Dynasty.
, so similar that they can overlap...
Glass first appeared in the 2nd century BC. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it became a utensil for nobles. After the development of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, although it is not common now, it is not difficult to find. Jiangning Huahua
It took more than ten days to find all kinds of glassware. Unfortunately, all the previous engineering subjects have been returned to the teacher, and now I can only rely on memory and practice.
The first step is to make alcohol. The purification process is very slow. In the final analysis, it still fails several times. The alcohol content is relatively low, usually about ten degrees. In the end, it was succeeded by changing to a higher alcohol alcohol.
The Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, and the capital moved south to Hangzhou, and was eventually replaced by Kublai Khan of Mongolia. Although he did not reach this point in his life of a hundred years, the economy was prosperous and the military was weak. Ten years have passed since the Blackwater Alliance. Ten years have passed since the Blackwater Alliance.
Years are enough for the rise of a dynasty. What we are doing now is just to protect ourselves.
Nowadays, muskets have begun to appear in the army, but they are regarded as a fancy trick by the court. Although some are equipped, they are basically not used. Bandits are now rampant in the Yihe Mountains in Chengdu in the southeast, and they have become enemies with the local officers and soldiers.
In a state of confrontation, internal and external troubles, Jiang Ning did not believe that such peace could last long. Historically, war has promoted development, and he understood this very well.
Just in case, if anything happens, it's better to have a way to protect yourself or minimize the loss.
As the sun set, Jiang Ning put everything back in place, then closed the door, crossed the Yudai River, and headed toward the Wang family along Wenyuan Street.
Jiang Ning had just walked to the Yudai River Bridge under the setting sun when he saw an old man face to face. He hurriedly handed over his hand: "Old Xia..."
The person coming towards him was none other than his chess friend Xia Kang, followed by his housekeeper Liu San. They were the only ones on this trip.
"Haha, it's little friend Zichuan. Since you became a talented man and wrote famous poems, you have stopped playing chess? I have already thought of a way to solve the problem after waiting for you for two days.
I don't see you coming, do you have time today? Come to my house to have a discussion?" Xia Kang chuckled.
"Well...it's getting late, and my wife at home is still waiting for me to go back for dinner. How about another day?" Jiang Ning said with a slight smile.
Between this question and answer, Xia Kang had already determined
There was something strange about Liu San behind him. If Jiang Ning's ability to observe words and emotions hadn't reached a certain level over the years, he probably wouldn't have been able to notice it.
Xia Kang was also slightly startled and said with a smile: "That's easy to say. Ah San, you go to Zichuan's house and inform me that I hit it off with you and we will win or lose no matter what, hahaha...
"
Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse, so he followed Mr. Xia towards the Xia Mansion.
The Xia Mansion is very large, at least larger than the Wang family, and its style is close to nature. The four gentlemen of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums are planted in the courtyard. Two stone paths intersect through it. After entering the courtyard for the third time, there is the main hall of Mr. Xia.
His wife had already set up snacks and tea in the main hall. When she saw the two of them coming out, she greeted them with a smile.
Although Mrs. Xia is in her forties, she still retains her charm, her simple and elegant temperament is evident, and her figure is obvious from the look of her every move.
"This must be Jiang Ning Jiang Zichuan." Mrs. Xia smiled slightly.
Jiang Ning hurriedly returned the gift with his hands raised: "Madam, you have a keen eye, and I am the one here."
"Haha." Mr. Xia stroked his beard on the side and said with a smile: "A few months ago, I met young friend Jiang Ning outside Xiaoyingzhou in West Lake. His chess skills were so superb that even Mr. Bi couldn't beat him. After he came back, he always mentioned it
, there are a lot of them just opened.”
Only then did Jiang Ning realize it, and immediately said: "It's just a small skill that can only be mastered in Mr. Xia's class."
Mrs. Xia laughed and said: "Haha, what a trick? You don't know, he spends one or two hours every day studying chess records, and he still says that it doesn't make sense, that this guy is sinister and cunning, etc. It turns out that he is talking about you.
…”
After hearing this, the two burst into laughter.
"Please come in quickly." Mrs. Xia stepped out of the way and immediately ordered: "Tell the kitchen to cook two more dishes. I'm afraid the master will have a few drinks today."
"Haha, the one who knows me is Madam, hahaha..." Mr. Xia stroked his beard and nodded happily.
"Hey, you, you only like two things, either chess or wine. I'm closer than your two sons who are away from home. I really don't know what you think." Mrs. Xia complained jokingly.
"Penglai article Jian'an bone, plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum see article, I'm afraid any of them will not be able to achieve their current heights without wine." Jiang Ning nodded.
Xia Kang was slightly shocked. He had never thought that Jiang Ning had such knowledge. He was even more sure that "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" could not be written by someone else. He immediately said: "Let's go, let's watch the movie I won't kill you tonight."
No one can stay..."
“I’m not sure who will fall off their backs...”
