Chapter 3 The plan to make money

For example, if you help Wu Dalang look forward to Pan Jinlian, will Wu Dalang not be poisoned to death by Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian?

Then I will have the opportunity to meet Wu Song.

But if you want to make trouble, you have to make money first!

If you are poor, you will be able to keep your body alone; if you are rich, you will be rich, you will be able to help the world!

If you want to make a fortune in this troubled world, you must be rich first!

Why did Song Jiang become so famous as soon as he appeared? Why could Chai Jin make so many people? It’s not because he is rich!

With money, you can help those heroes with bad luck and make your name familiar.

Jia Rui is now just a helpless scholar. He is less than ten taels of silver on his body. How can he make money?

Just as I was thinking that I had bought it from Wuhan University, I cleaned up and found a table of wine and food.

The three of them sat down to eat and chat, looking at the slightly turbid wine in the glass, Jia Rui's inspiration: Selling wine!

Compared with other unified dynasties, although the martial arts of the Song Dynasty were often criticized by later generations, no one could deny that Song was really rich.

Moreover, there were many literati in the Song Dynasty, and literati were fond of elegance. Therefore, many elegant things became popular throughout the Song Dynasty.

No matter when, wine is definitely a great tool for art.

Not only the gentry class, but also the ordinary people have a great demand for wine.

Looking at the entire Water Margin, there are countless scenes of drinking.

The Song Dynasty was not short of food, and the court supported the winemaking industry, which could bring taxes to the country and stimulate domestic demand. This further promoted the development and prevalence of wine culture in the Song Dynasty.

However, the Song people drank low-alcohol wine made by steaming and cooking fruit grains and fermenting them with koji. If they made some old dried white erguotou by themselves, I wonder if it would be accepted by people?

By the way, it saves the quarrels. At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, brewing wine was included in the control, but later it found that the ban was useless, so it gradually relaxed. As long as you pay taxes, brew wine at will.

The three of them had a drink and chatted without realizing it. Wu Dalang had already eaten seventy-six-six points of drunkenness, and Pan Jinlian's cheeks were like peach blossoms and starry eyes were circulating.

Jia Rui said, "I have been bothering my elder brother for a long time, and I am about to go there. To be honest, I don't know where to stay tonight. If I go late, I am afraid that the inn will be closed, so I can only sleep on the streets."

Wu Dalang said vaguely: "If Brother Rui doesn't dislike the mess in my house, it's okay to live here."

"How can I bother you again?" Jia Rui stood up and slapped his forehead and said in shock: "Hey! It's amazing! Where is my burden?"

Jinlian and Wu Dalang looked at each other and said, "I didn't see you carrying any burden when I hit the young master in the afternoon?"

Jia Rui said with annoyance: "Oh no! It must be because I was careless and left somewhere!

What should I do? My money and road rays are all inside! How can I stay in a hotel without road rays?"

Wu Dalang said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll say the same thing. If you don't dislike it, just live with me first!"

Jia Rui was moved to tears: "Brother Wu, you are a good person!"

Wu Dalang said: "Brother is serious. Who has not encountered difficulties when you go out?

Since we brothers met, it was fate, let alone you and me, that's what they said!

If you think I am my brother, just stay here, and there is still an empty room here!

Sister-in-law, why don’t you go and clean up the house for Brother Jia Xian!”

Pan Jinlian agreed to leave.

"I'm really troubled my brother and sister-in-law!" Jia Rui stopped pretending.

I had nothing to say all night, and I went to bed early the next morning until I woke up naturally. Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian were already busy in the kitchen.

The water vapor in the kitchen was hazy. Seeing Pan Jinlian's forehead sweating and doing work skillfully and skillfully, Jia Rui couldn't help but have a new understanding of this famous silver woman, and it seemed that Pan Jinlian was also quite virtuous.

When Wu Dalang saw Jia Rui coming in, he smiled and said, "My brother is awake!

I also have to go and sell pancakes. I didn't wake you up because I saw you sleeping soundly. There was porridge in the basin over there. Sister-in-law, please serve the young master for dinner. I'll be alone here."

Jia Rui hurriedly said, "No, I'll just come by myself. My elder brother and sister-in-law don't have to be so polite, otherwise I should be uncomfortable."

Jinlian still threw down her work and went outside to serve Jia Rui with a meal: "Why are you polite? Isn't it all what I should do?"

After the meal, Wu Dalang had already put the pancakes into his pick and prepared them.

"Brother Jia Xian, I'm going out to make a living, I can't accompany you. Just sit in the house, don't be restrained! What you want to eat is the same as your sister-in-law."

Jia Ruixin said that this Wu Dalang is very determined, so he would feel at home with a beautiful wife and someone he just met yesterday?

When Wu Dalang left, Jinlian said, "Uncle, sit down, I'll go clean the kitchen first and come over to talk to you."

Jia Rui said, "Sister-in-law, let's wait, I have something to say."

Jinlian said, "Uncle, it's okay." Then she sat aside.

Jia Rui said: "Now I am penniless and have no skill to make a living. Although it is not a long-term solution to take in my elder brother and sister-in-law.

Fortunately, my ancestors passed down a skill of steaming wine. I thought about whether I could make some steaming wine and sell it. If it could be sold, I wanted to get up with Brother Wu to make it.

I wonder what my sister-in-law thinks?”

Jinlian laughed and said, "You should tell Dalang this, what do you know, a woman?"

Jia Rui said: "I just know the method of steaming wine, but I haven't tried it. I always have to try it first. If I can really become a good person, I will talk to my elder brother."

Jinlian said: "Then please try it, but do you need any help from me?"

Jia Rui said: "I really need my sister-in-law's help. I need a jar of wine, a few bamboo tubes, and a wet towel..."

"There are all these. I'll find them for my uncle now. Can you see if this can be used?"

The golden lotus was ready soon.

Jia Rui put the jar of wine in a pot with half a pot of water, and made a simple still with a bamboo tube and a damp cloth.

Jinlian looked around for a while but couldn't understand what Jia Rui was going to do. Seeing that Jia Rui was going to light a fire but didn't lit it several times, she smiled and said:

"It doesn't seem like a person who can cook fires, so I'll do it."

As he said that, he took the flint scythe and fire velvet from Jia Rui's hand, and the fire was started in two seconds.

Seeing Jia Rui staring at the bamboo tube-mouthed golden lotus wrapped in wet cloth, unable to help but ask:

"Young Master, what is the use of this? What's the use of cooking the jar of wine in water?"

Jia Rui smiled slightly: "My sister-in-law will see it later."

The boiling point of alcohol is only 78°, so before the water in the pot was opened, there was a crystal liquid at the mouth of the bamboo tube falling down into the empty jar at the bottom, and the aroma of wine spread.

Jia Rui took a drop and sent it to his mouth to taste it, revealing a satisfied smile.

Jinlian did the same, feeling the scent of wine filled her mouth.

He asked, "What is this method of making wine? Why haven't I seen it before? It smells so strong in just one drop?"

Jia Rui originally wanted to cooperate with the Jinlian couple of Wuda, but he didn't want to hide it. He said, "This is a distillation method, and what comes out of the wine is the essence of the wine."

After a stick of incense, after tasting the liquid wine dripping from the bamboo tube, Jia Rui let the golden lotus remove the fire.
