When Wang Wen arrived in Yangcheng County on an ox cart, the gatekeepers immediately greeted him. There were more and more victims, and all kinds of rumors were spreading rapidly. Even those of them who were eating from the government
Everyone is worried about whether food will arrive.
During this period, Ye An's name was spread everywhere, especially when he provided 100,000 kilograms of food for disaster relief. It was so surprising that people couldn't believe it. The old man who had met Ye An once
Wang Tou also didn't believe it. Most people were saying that he was actually a liar.
Everyone knows that grain is the most valuable at this time and cannot be easily bought and sold, let alone sold to the Yamen at a low price. I heard that Wang Xianzun traveled lightly and did not bring any money out of the city. How much copper coins does it cost to sell grain?
That much money can't be loaded on a bullock cart? Are you planning to borrow money? Are there really such fools in this world?
As a result, no one believed that Ye An could sell grain to Wang Wen, and the attitude of the people and victims of the disaster in Yangcheng County also changed from gratitude to anger and contempt.
Human nature is the least able to withstand the test. When Qian Tao spread the news that Ye Anhui would sell grain to the county government, everyone treated him as if they were seeing a holy light. But now that the rumor spread again, everyone
Immediately "turn against".
As long as you fail to meet their expectations, all responsibilities and harsh criticism will follow.
In fact, Ye An never promised anything to the victims... There are always people who can't distinguish between love and duty.
When Wang Wen arrived in Yangcheng County with several carts of grain, someone immediately spread the news that the grain was brought out by Wang Daguan's people and not Ye An, who had previously "bragged about Haikou".
So Ye An, who was still in Wangjiazhuang, immediately became the target of verbal and written criticism, and even nursery rhymes were circulated to belittle him: "There is Ye Lang in Yangcheng, who is arrogant and arrogant, boasts about rescuing victims, and is as stingy as a jackal!"
Wang Wen was horrified after hearing this. Once such words spread, it will definitely have an irreversible impact on Ye An's reputation. Having such a bad reputation in the literary world will basically ruin his future.
After arriving at the county government office, Wang Wen went to look for his uncle Wang Yuan, but before he entered the government office, he saw Wang Yuan sitting under the old locust tree in the government office and mumbling something. Only after he entered the government office did he hear: "There is Ye Lang in Yangcheng.
Arrogance and arrogance...that's a good thing to say!"
"Uncle Clan, you've already reached this point, how can you still be so leisurely?"
"Oh? Wen Ping is back and the food has been collected! Why are you so anxious? Ye An is not our nephew, so why are you worried?"
Wang Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wen Ping is not worried about Ye An! Wen Ping is worried about Erlang of the Qian family. Such methods are too cruel and clumsy, and cannot be compared with Ye An!"
Wang Yuan was suddenly stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Wen with eyes full of relief: "You have improved a lot. Originally, Mr. Dong Heng had a bad temper... You really shouldn't be worried about Mr. Ye now, but Qian Hui of the Qian family.
The two people are far apart in wisdom. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you will suffer the consequences! I won't get involved in this matter."
After a pause, Wang Yuan spoke again and reminded: "This Ye An has an extraordinary background and comes from an unusual family. He should be a member of our family, and the Qian family is not easy to offend. Let's just stay away and watch the excitement."
Wang Wen nodded slowly. He knew that he was not suitable to get involved in this matter. Even if Ye An encountered any crisis, it had nothing to do with him. As an elder, the help he could give Ye An was only reminders and suggestions.
.
As for the fight between the two juniors, he couldn't help anyone at all. Helping Ye An would naturally offend the Qian family, but helping Qian Hui would definitely offend the "family" behind Ye An.
Wang Wen sighed slightly: "So I can only hope that Ye An's methods will not be too harsh. I always feel that this guy sometimes has a cruel personality."
If Ye An heard Wang Wen's comments, he would definitely have a smile on his face and a "Mamahit" in his heart. He had always maintained a humble image in front of him.
But at this time, Ye An didn't dare to be distracted at all. He didn't know if the crude distiller he made in an afternoon was easy to use. The carpenter boasted that it was very dense, but Ye An had already seen it from the top.
Gas comes out.
In this way, the taste and alcohol content of the wine will be greatly reduced. This is not distilled wine from grain, but directly distilled and purified from the Wang family's wine. When the jars of wine were poured down, Xuan Chengzi's eyes turned green.
You must know that these drinks are quite valuable. As the saying goes, "wine is food." Drinks were not cheap in the Song Dynasty.
But soon a strong smell of wine came out, and the old man next to him immediately started to wiggle his nostrils: "Hiss... ha... How did this happen? The smell of wine is so strong and mellow! It's nothing more than wine!"
"
Ye An nodded slightly, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The distilled wine was really ready! What he did was just carry out the final purification process.
This is actually a simple scientific common sense. Alcohol, that is, ethanol, is more volatile. The alcohol concentration in the steam generated after heating increases. The alcohol vapor is collected and cooled. Although the resulting wine is colorless, it has an odor.
It is spicy and strong, and its alcohol content is much higher than that of the original liquor. Generally, the alcohol content of brewed liquor is less than 20 degrees, but after distillation, it can reach up to more than 60 degrees.
For the ancients, judging the quality of a wine mostly relied on the aroma of the wine. At this time, the aroma of the wine was actually the amount of alcohol [520 www.biquge520.xyz]. Alcohol is easy to evaporate, so spirits naturally smell strong and change.
It became good wine.
When the old Taoist smelled this, he couldn't help it anymore. He pulled Ye An's sleeve and asked him to take a sip. He was not a Taoist, he was just a drunkard!
Although the lid of the still was made by a carpenter from Wangjiazhuang, anyone can do such a simple job. It’s just that Ye An needs to prepare other things and doesn’t have time. Therefore, even if the Wang family wants to break their heads, they can’t get it through a wooden lid.
Know the secret.
They just knew that Ye An had been messing around in the kitchen all afternoon and also had a lot of drinks from the Wang family. When it was getting late and the moonlight and stars occupied the sky, Xuan Chengzi came out with a sway, exactly.
It was said that he was picked up by Ye An, who was so drunk that he fell into unconsciousness. Even so, he still held a wine jar in his arms and refused to let go.
Wang Gang hurriedly went up to help, but Wang Hao smelled a strong and pungent aroma of wine. The aroma of wine was too strong, making people a little drunk when smelling it. Wang Gang exclaimed: "Ye Xiaoyou is serious
That’s amazing! Even the people in Tokyo can’t taste this wine!”
Ye An smiled and said to Wang Hao: "There is also a bottle of fine wine in the kitchen. Official Wang can have a drink. Don't drink too much, as the wine will be very harmful to your health!"
Wang Hao nodded repeatedly: "It's already late at night, my nephew, I'd better help Mr. Guanmiao back to his room to rest. Wang will help you and ask the kitchen to make a bowl of sour soup to sober up the hangover!"
Gang Wang nodded repeatedly and he and Ye An took Xuan Chengzi away, but Wang Hao walked quickly to the kitchen. At this time, he was as curious as a cat's paw and a mouse. What ability does Ye An have? He can actually control the widow.
Light wine turns into such a fine wine.
Having been drinking for many years, Wang Hao already knew from the taste that this drink must be pure and fragrant... But when he saw the splinters of wood on the ground, he knew that Ye An had already guarded against his stealing!
He could helplessly stamp his feet and sigh at Ye An's caution.
