127. It’s New Year’s Eve Again(1/2)

In Jiangnan, there are far fewer people who are good at wine or good at spirits than in the north.

But there are still some.

After Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen left the prefect of Hexing Prefecture, they went to the mansion of an official who had retired and returned to the hometown in Hexing Prefecture.

The man was unwilling to see Zheng Yi. Zheng Yi was not surprised. He smiled and then took out a small jar of wine to the servant who came to pass the message: "Sir Shao is very busy, we will go back first. This is the wine that my Zheng family found from an ancient recipe and finally brewed. Please ask Master Shao to taste it."

The jar of wine Zheng Yi gave was really small and looked ordinary. He kept smiling and making things difficult for him to refuse. The servant who came to pass the message thought for a while and then stopped.

Seeing that the servant took it away, Zheng Yi smiled again, turned around and left.

When Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen went out, they brought a total of more than ten small jars. They first gave out a few jars, and then went to meet some people who had a good relationship with the Zheng family. They gave out a few jars again, and exchanged greetings.

I just sent out eight jars of wine and it was almost dark.

The transportation was too inconvenient at this time, and everything was slow... Jiang Zhen sighed inwardly and returned home soon.

When Jiang Zhen went back, Brother Zhao Jin was feeding Zhao Mingzhu.

Although Jiang Zhen loves Zhao Mingzhu very much, Jiang Zhen has gone out a lot before, and the one who accompanied her the most was Zhao Jin. Zhao Mingzhu is also the closest to Zhao Jinzhu.

However, when she saw Jiang Zhen who would play with her, she inevitably became excited and opened her hands to let Jiang Zhen hug her.

"Dad's baby Mingzhu!" Jiang Zhen held his daughter in his arms and kissed her hard.

Perhaps because Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge were both here, Zhao Mingzhu did not cry because she was discomfortable, but she was a little overly excited.

The room where Zheng Yi lived was very beautiful. She thought it was beautiful when she looked at it. After playing for a while, she refused to sleep on time. Fortunately, she was still young and couldn't hold on for too long. As she was playing, she suddenly fell head-on and fell asleep.

"This kid." Jiang Zhen carried him into the bed and went to wash with Brother Zhao Jin.

"Jiang Zhen, I want to buy a piece of land near the capital city," Zhao Jinge suddenly said, "Mrs. Zheng and I have inquired about it and have found a suitable piece of land."

"Buy land? Why did you suddenly think of buying land?" Jiang Zhen looked at Brother Zhao Jin in surprise.

"I want to build a brick kiln here." Zhao Jinge said, adding: "The piece of land I want to buy is a small hill. I think that brick kilns can be built at the foot of the mountain. If it is on the mountain, you can raise chickens and ducks. The price of chickens and ducks in Fucheng is more expensive than that in Hecheng County, and you should be able to make money."

Brother Zhao Jin has been thinking about becoming more powerful these days, but he doesn’t know much, and the only things he can do when he thinks about are those he has come into contact with, such as building brick kilns, and raising chickens and ducks.

Their chickens and ducks in Hexi Village are now hired to raise. Although they are all supplied to the escort agency and cannot see the profit, Zhao Jin Ge calculated that if all the chickens, ducks and eggs were sold, they would definitely be able to make money.

Now, he was thinking about doing this in the Mansion City.

"My Brother Jin wants to make money?" Jiang Zhen looked at Brother Zhao with a smile.

"Yes." Brother Zhao Jin nodded. In fact, he not only wanted to make money, but also wanted to exercise himself.

He knew that many of the things Jiang Zhen asked him to do before were to train him, but now, he wants to take the initiative to improve himself.

Brother Zhao Jin looked very serious, so Jiang Zhen asked: "You have a good idea. Can you do it alone?"

"Yes." Brother Zhao Jin said immediately.

"Then you can do this. Just tell me how much it costs." Jiang Zhen said.

Whether it is a brick kiln or a chicken and duck raising, the investment is not great. He thinks that Brother Zhao can give it a try. Everyone will be happy if they fail. It doesn’t matter if they learn from experience and work hard next time.

With Jiang Zhen’s consent, Brother Zhao Jin thought about what he would do next.

To build a brick kiln, you must transfer people from Hexi Village. So you have to think about who is better to come here. It is also the same as raising chickens and ducks. Then, in the future, how to transport them out and sell them when the bricks are burned out, and what to feed chickens and ducks, you have to consider these...

Brother Zhao became more and more excited the more he thought about it, and he couldn't sleep in the end.

At first, he was worried that he would wake up Jiang Zhen, and even if he couldn't sleep, he wouldn't move. But later he thought that Jiang Zhen should have already fallen asleep, so he couldn't help but start turning over.

He thought about various things, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became, but suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Jiang Zhen was taken away. He couldn't help but feel ache in his heart, and his originally happy mood instantly dissipated.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhen is still lying beside him... Brother Zhao Jin slowly leaned over, lay next to Jiang Zhen, and kissed Jiang Zhen again.

Jiang Zhen: "..." He came to seduce himself even if he didn't sleep in the middle of the night...

Originally, because Zhao Mingzhu had a bed with them, Jiang Zhen didn't plan to do anything, but now... he really felt sorry for himself if he didn't deal with people.

Brother Zhao Jin was suppressed by Jiang Zhen. He was afraid that his daughter would wake up and gritted her teeth. He didn't make any noise, but at the end, he suddenly laughed.

"Why are you laughing at?" Jiang Zhen chewed him.

"You forgot to pull it out." Brother Zhao Jin said. Jiang Zhen was very careful before and would withdraw early before it was about to end, but this time it didn't.

"If you get pregnant, you can take it with you if you give birth to a baby by yourself. I will be like Zheng Yi, and I will not care about anything." Jiang Zhen saw Brother Zhao Jin's proud look, and chewed him again and said with a smile.

He doesn’t want children either. Isn’t he thinking it’s too tiring to take care of children and having to worry too much?

Last night, Jiang Zhen shouted that Brother Zhao Jin would take care of the children, but he didn't care about it. The next day, he took the initiative to take care of Zhao Mingzhu and asked Brother Zhao Jin to go out to buy land and build a brick kiln.

Because of this, he even greeted Zheng Yi, saying that he could not go to deliver the drinks with him. In fact, this matter would have no effect on him or not.

As a result, after Jiang Zhen could not go, Zheng Yi simply stopped delivering wine. He only asked his wife to bring some to the Hu family and asked the Hu family to send people. Then he brought a craftsman who specialized in building gardens for people and found Jiang Zhen and drew the construction drawings of Qingfeng Tower together.

Jiang Zhen didn't know much about the architecture of this era, but some of his ideas were very novel, which made the craftsman nod and Zheng Yi admired him: "I don't know how your head grows, but you can come up with so many things."

"I'm just lucky." Jiang Zhen said. If he hadn't traveled through time, in modern times, he would have only a body of force.

He is very lucky and can come to this place to settle down. However, if he wants his luck to keep going, he has to work hard.

Jiang Zhen was busy communicating with Zheng Yi and others, so he inevitably ignored Zhao Mingzhu. Zhao Mingzhu immediately started to hum in dissatisfaction. Jiang Zhen stopped talking and coaxed his daughter.

Zheng Yi was already used to all this, but the craftsman couldn't react when he saw this scene.

He hasn't seen a man who loves children so much!

When Zheng Yi and Jiang Zhen were taking care of their children to draw drawings at home, the prefect of Hexing Mansion was wandering around his home.

After tasting the jar of wine sent by Zheng Yi yesterday, he was conquered by the wonderful taste of the wine.

There was only a little bit of wine in total. He originally wanted to keep it and drink it slowly, but he couldn't help it... He locked the wine, but he wanted to taste it, so he tasted it. Finally, he opened the lock again and then tasted it.

He tasted it at a moment, and then he tasted it... the wine in the small jar as big as a palm was eaten completely by him in a short while.

If this is a treasure, it would be fine if it is finished and it is gone. He can only savor it after it, and he will not think about it much, but he can't resist it... He knows that the Zheng family has this wine!

Although Master Zheng Er is an official in the capital, the Zheng family also has to respect him as the prefect. As long as he speaks, can Zheng Yi not give him wine?

But if he had a close relationship with Zheng Yi, this... the envoy Zhou Qin is still there!

There is not only He Cheng County magistrate who is so confused.

The other people who were good wines who were deliberately given by Zheng Yi were all like the prefect, and they were not worried about the wine. They even asked to go out to inquire about it, wanting to know where the Zheng family’s wine was sold.

However, the Zheng family has no place to sell the wine.

Finally, someone couldn't help but find Zheng Yi and asked to buy some.

"My Zheng family has only brewed a batch of this wine. After I kept a jar, the rest were sent to the capital and presented to the empress dowager..." Zheng Yi looked at the people in front of him with a puzzled look: "If you want to make the second batch, you probably have to wait a few months, everyone..."

The expression of the person who came to ask for the wine suddenly froze.

The wine was sent to the Queen Mother's place, so they could not have any objections and had to drink it.

But... after they had no choice but to drink it, they thought even more!

After leaving Zheng Yi, these people immediately started to inquire everywhere. After this inquiry, they found out that Zheng Yi had actually delivered about twenty jars of wine, and most of the wine was given to the Hu family, and the Hu family transferred it to others.

After learning about this, these people immediately found out who had the wine and came to the door to get up.

Not everyone in this world likes to drink. No one in Zheng Yi's Yue family is good at drinking. Even if he can drink some wine, it is just to cheer up. Therefore, no one took the wine Zheng Yi sent to him seriously at first, and even didn't like it because he thought the wine was too strong.

As a result, in just a few days, someone came to buy wine...

This wine that looks inconspicuous and is so valuable when drinking is so terrible?

The Hu family was shocked and then decisively felt something.

The people who came to buy wine were quite famous, so they naturally sold it. Then, they quickly delivered the remaining wine to people who were not good at wine.

When someone comes to buy wine again, they inform the people that the wine has been sent away by them.

Those people had to go to the people who collected the Hu family's wine to ask for wine.

In this way, more and more people know that there are people who want a kind of good wine, and the reputation of the Zheng family's Qingfeng wine has quickly spread in the upper circle of Hexing Mansion.

In fact, not everyone loves to drink, but sometimes rich people drink not whether they like or not, but a reputation.

The Zheng family’s Qingfeng wine suddenly became famous and was highly praised. Naturally, everyone was extremely curious, but they couldn’t drink it... Isn’t it so uncomfortable that they scratched their hearts and lungs?

At this time, the Zheng family bought a piece of land in the Fucheng City and started to build a Qingfeng Building. At the same time, Brother Zhao Jin also bought a piece of land and built a brick kiln.

Brother Zhao Jin came to Hexi Village and came over. He built the brick kiln soon. As soon as the brick kiln was built, a big business came to his door. Zheng Yi wanted to build Qingfeng Building, but it needed a lot of blue bricks!

However, the brick kiln was built very quickly, and raising chickens and ducks was not that fast.

First of all, there are not enough staff, and secondly, there are not enough chickens and ducks. This is winter. When there is no manual hatching, chickens and ducks will not hold nests in winter, and chickens should lay less eggs.

Brother Zhao Jin was busy and helped Jiang Zhen handle some of the matters of Jin Zhen’s escort agency. In the end, he made a little reputation in the Mansion City.

As for Jiang Zhen... he took Zhao Mingzhu with him every day, and now the person Zhao Mingzhu is closest to has become him.

After such a busy life, the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated.

Last year, Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin Ge stayed in the city for a long time and did not return until the Chinese New Year is approaching. This year, I don’t know if it happened to be a coincidence that when I went back, the villagers in Hexi Village caught fish and divided the fish.

Last year, the Zhao family distributed more fish. This year, after catching the fish, Jiang Ping asked Zhao Fugui to pick it first, and kept asking Zhao Fugui to take more of it.

The Zhao family built a wharf in Hexi Village, which benefited every household in the village. This year, the people of Hexi Village basically worked in the Zhao family for a long time or short time, and also made some money so that they could all have a good New Year.
