The next day, Lu Chensheng took Chuwu to Fufeng City.

Shou Yue followed, mainly because he was worried about any danger. It would be better if Shou Yue took care of him.

After arriving in Fufeng City, Lu Chensheng found Yaxing.

The dental shop here can also serve as a matchmaker. Lu Chensheng doesn't know which craftsmen are willing to sell themselves, so it is more convenient to find this dental shop.

After Lu Chensheng explained his intention, the work in the dental shop suddenly became more energetic.

Judging from Lu Chensheng's appearance, there was a high possibility that the other party would make a deal, so he quickly took Lu Chensheng to the craftsman's home.

"Lao Zhou! I brought you a noble person!"

Before the boy could reach the door, he shouted at a dilapidated house from a distance.

A middle-aged man walked out of the house. Although he looked middle-aged, he looked a bit older.

"You guy, why do you have time to come to my place?"

The two seemed to know each other. The man named Lao Zhou saw the guy and responded immediately.

The clerk chuckled when he heard this and pointed to Lu Chensheng beside him, "This young master wants to buy some craftsmen back. I don't think you had such an idea before?"

When Lao Zhou heard this, his face suddenly became slightly happy, and he cupped his hands slightly towards Lu Chensheng, "I don't know, sir, how long did you buy it?"

This is also divided into time periods, some are for a few years, and some are for life.

For life, you need to directly take out eight taels of silver and hand it over to the other person's family. The craftsman will also pay the money every month. In addition, the government's corvee also needs to be paid by the owner himself.

"Just for life."

lifelong!

Hearing this, Lao Zhou was even more happy. Once he became his own family, he would have a lot of money, and his son would also have money to get a wife in the future.

"Okay, then why should we go to the government to sign the documents?"

"Wait a minute, I still need to find a few more craftsmen, and I also need to see your craftsmanship and see if you have any finished furniture or anything."

The carpenter's skills also need to be tested.

Although Lu Chensheng sympathizes with the status of these craftsmen, he wants to build a shipyard and cannot be careless about shipbuilding.

After hearing this, Lao Zhou nodded quickly, feeling that this was reasonable, and quickly took out some of his furniture to show to Lu Chensheng.

Most of the furniture in the carpenter's home was made by himself.

Lu Chensheng took a look and made sure there was nothing wrong with the workmanship, then went to meet the other craftsmen.

These craftsmen all knew each other, and Lao Zhou who was standing by helped introduce a few friends with excellent craftsmanship.

"They and I have been working together for more than ten years. There are not many in Fufeng City who can compare with them."

These were Lao Zhou's exact words. After hearing this, Lu Chensheng saw the mortise and tenon joints they made on the spot and nodded with satisfaction.

After giving the clerk some copper coins as an introduction fee, Lu Chensheng led the people to the Yamen.

Those who sell their bodies need to go through the government.

With Liu Wensheng here, this procedure was much simpler. By the time it was close to dusk in the afternoon, all the procedures for building the dock were completed smoothly.

Sure enough, there are people in the yamen, so it is extremely convenient to do things.

After several craftsmen handed over the silver they got to their families, they followed Lu Chensheng back to Taohuawu.

There are also several wing rooms in Taohuawu where these craftsmen can sleep together.

However, after these craftsmen came to Taohuawu, they said that they would build a wooden house next to Lu Chensheng.

According to the rules, they are now servants, and this house cannot share the same attic as the master's house.

Only by living separately can we show the difference between superiority and inferiority.

Lu Chensheng also left them alone, after all, this room was indeed not enough.

After arranging the carpenters, Lu Chensheng began to tinker with his own high-purity alcohol, and hired some people to start picking peach blossoms.

A jar of wine was delivered to Lu Chensheng's residence, and using the distillation device made, Lu Chensheng began to experiment.

When it comes to this device, Uncle Lin is indeed very good at it. Although the thing cannot be compared with later generations, it is already very good for this era, and the sealing performance is also very good.

Lu Chensheng, a later generation of people, sometimes looked at the things that carpenters made and felt that they were a bit miraculous.

There was a raging fire burning underneath, and the air was filled with the scent of wine.

"On the fifth day of the lunar month, are there grapes for sale outside in the summer?"

If there are grapes, grapes can be used to make wine. Lu Chensheng used to be very idle and made wine himself. The process is not complicated.

Moreover, if it is brewed well, the taste will indeed be extraordinary.

Chuwu nodded quickly when he heard this, "Yes, but the price is very expensive and some of them are broken."

"broken?"

Lu Chensheng looked at Chu Wu with doubts.

"Yes, grapes are a specialty of Da Cang Country. The mountain road between Da Cang Country and our Jiang Country is extremely rugged. In addition, the grapes do not bear fruit until summer. Every time they are ripe and transported to our Jiang Country, almost

Gone bad.

And such fruit, even if it is spoiled, is not something ordinary people can afford to eat."

When Chu Wu said this, Lu Chensheng immediately understood.

"Didn't these people think of a way to find a better way to transport these grapes?"

"The best way is the waterway, that is, the Yunjiang River, but the water flow is extremely fast in some places along the Yunjiang River. I heard that countless boats were broken in the Yunjiang River, and countless people drowned.

"

There is a waterway available, so it's not too difficult.

Lu Chensheng relaxed a little after listening to this.

The current is dangerous, so if we get some ships with watertight cabins to go there, I think there won't be any problem.

Having seen Uncle Lin's craftsmanship, it was not difficult to build a ship with a watertight cabin.

"Young Master, do you want to eat these grapes?"

When I saw Lu Chensheng asked about this on the fifth day of the lunar month, he asked curiously.

Lu Chensheng nodded, "That's right. It's mainly used to brew some wine. I think it can be sold at a good price."

Chuwu pursed her lips slightly as she listened. She had never guessed what her young master was thinking.

After the alcohol was distilled several times, Lu Chensheng sniffed it gently and felt that the fragrance was enough, but he didn't know the taste inside.

Shou Yue had been lingering outside the door for a long time. Seeing this, Lu Chensheng called him in.

"Here, I'll give you a taste."

According to Lu Chensheng's estimation, this should reach the level of low-alcohol liquor, but Lu Chensheng didn't know how much.

Shou Yue squinted her eyes slightly and took a gulp of the porcelain bowl. Seeing this scene, Lu Chensheng was a little frightened.

After taking a sip, Shouyue exhaled a long breath, and the smell of alcohol dissipated.
