"I just asked people from the Women's Chopper Brigade to draw a topographic map of the area. I have an idea."
"But I'm afraid you have to come forward to resolve this matter."
Zhang Bao looked at Lao He with a smile.
"Every time you show that expression, you little brat, it's bound to be up to no good!"
"Don't go!"
"You want to trick me again, and I don't know yet?"
Lao He rolled his eyes, moved his hands, twisted his head, and decisively refused.
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll find someone else to do it for you."
"It just so happens that this is Jimo County. We are not familiar with the place. It would be convenient to recruit a local to follow us."
Zhang Bao shrugged and prepared to go out to find someone.
"Wait!"
"What did you say you wanted to drink with me just now?"
Lao He stared and stopped Zhang Bao.
"Didn't we bring several carts of wine? I'm planning to find an opportunity to contact the Zhou Mu in Dongzhou. This wine is naturally a stepping stone."
"Of course I want to have a few drinks with you."
"But forget it if you don't want to go. You still have to show your face. You'd better have a good rest."
Zhang Bao raised his feet and left.
"Stop!"
"Why are you so playful about such a big deal?!"
"You have to know, we are in Dongzhou now. What does this mean? We are not clear about every aspect here. If you suddenly find someone from Dongzhou, do you know who he is?"
"Do you know if he has anything to do with Yang Gan?"
"If we are unlucky and find Yang Qian's brother-in-law, wouldn't we be in danger?"
"Although I'm a little tired, who will do this if I don't do it?"
"There was a fortune teller before. If I don't go to drink, who will?"
"I'm going!"
"Just tell me what to do!"
Lao He patted his chest and said to Zhang Bao.
To know.
Along the way, Lao He was greedy for the wine on the carriage. Even when he was trying to talk to the innkeeper in Linyi County, Zhang Bao was not willing to take it out.
Now that we can finally use this batch of wine, how can Lao He let it go?
So, early the next morning.
Lao He carried a jug of wine in his arms and knocked on the huge door of Yang Qian's house in Dongzhou Prefecture.
"What for?!"
"Do you know where this place is? Just knock randomly -"
"Um?"
"Why does it smell so good?"
Before the guard at the door could finish his words, he was enchanted by the jar of wine that Lao He brought up.
"I am from a restaurant in Yiyun County, Dongzhou. Today I specially brought my fine wine to Lord Zhou Mu and to reward the sergeants!"
"I hope you can inform me."
As Lao He spoke, he handed over the wine and a large piece of silver in his hand.
When Lao He was a housekeeper, he did this kind of thing a lot and was very skilled at it.
"Since that's the case, it's no problem. Our Lord Zhou Mu is also a lover of wine. You stay here later, and I'll go in and talk to our Lord Zhou Mu."
As the man spoke, he went in with a smile on his face.
After half an hour, Lao He was brought in after his legs were almost too thin to stand outside.
But after entering and being put on a carriage, Lao He finally knew why it had taken so long.
Moreover, during the whole journey in the carriage, Lao He's upper and lower lips never touched each other.
He was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
I used to think that the owner of that restaurant was a braggart.
When I saw it today, it was true!
You have to walk two miles to get to the hut!
Lao He was taken along in the carriage in a daze, and came all the way to a magnificent house.
Even the door handle is made of dry white jade.
Even though Lao He had seen the world before, he became a country bumpkin here.
When entering the door, when no one was paying attention, he pushed off the two door handles and put them into his arms...
After arriving inside the house.
Lao He was even more astonished. This room was on top of their previous yard, and his words were echoed. The aesthetics of this rich man were indeed different...
"Are you the one who makes wine in that restaurant?"
"Your wine tastes great. Come on, drink three glasses first!"
The middle-aged man sitting in front said in an angry voice.
Although Lao He has never met Yang Qian, he can tell from this style that the person in front of him is probably the famous Dongzhou State Shepherd Yang Qian.
Looking at the three glasses of wine in front of him, Lao He actually smiled.
This is obviously because I am afraid that the wine will be poisonous. I am really cautious, but I won't be polite.
Lao He said nothing and drank three glasses of wine.
"Tsk!"
“This is the taste of good wine!”
"It would be better if there was a side dish."
Lao He squinted his eyes and shook his head with a satisfied look on his face.
I have been thinking about this for a long time.
Yang Qian looked at it and saw that Lao He drank it without hesitation, and seeing the look of enjoyment on Lao He's face, he couldn't hold back anymore.
"Come on, pour me a drink too!"
Yang Gan ordered his servants.
After a while.
Yang Qian's indescribable sounds came from the hall.
“Good wine!”
“It’s really a good wine!”
"Come on, shopkeeper, sit down!"
"This wine of yours is really good. I want all the wine you have! Price is not an issue!"
"After this, as soon as your wine is brewed, you can send it here. I will have as much as I want."
Yang Qian said to Lao He angrily.
"If our wine can be liked by Mr. Zhou Mu, it is already very good. Where can I ask you for money?"
"In this way, I will have someone deliver it to you, Mr. Zhou Mu, in the evening."
"I have also prepared some wine to send to the military camp to reward the troops. I hope you will inform me in advance."
Lao He said with a smile.
"oh?"
"It's hard for you to have such a heart!"
"No problem. From now on, the wine you make will be exclusively provided to us. I won't treat you badly!"
Yang Gan said very happily.
"But if you come this time, I can't let you go back empty-handed. I'm not that stingy person either."
"Come on, reward!"
Yang Gan called people in and took Lao He to receive the reward.
After a while.
Lao He came back with a bag of silver.
"Ah, young master, let me tell you, today is an eye-opener. I thought we made a lot of money from the auction before, but now that I see you, I know what it means to be wealthy!"
While Lao He vividly described what he saw and heard today, he took out the door handle of dry white jade from his arms.
"Doesn't that mean we are going to get rich?"
Zhang Bao was also a little surprised.
"Uncle He, pack up and get ready for work! Go and give them the wine first, and invite Mr. Yang Gan out by the way."
"Let the people from the Women's Chopper Brigade leave the city while it's still dark!"
"Tonight, let's show Yang Gan what a big scene is!"
