After dinner, Lin Xuan had nothing to do, so he went to the wine shop and saw that Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Gong, who had not come in the morning, had already arrived.
"Lin Xuan, where have you gone?" Cheng Chumo said loudly when he saw Lin Xuan walking into the yard.
Do you still have the nerve to ask me? Don’t you know when you came?
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "We're going to eat, but were you two drunk last night?"
"Hehe!" Cheng Chumo and the other two scratched their heads in embarrassment and laughed dryly.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Lin Xuan knew that his guess was correct.
"You two are imitating Li Dejia, how come you are not drunk?" Lin Xuan looked distressed.
Li Dejiang, who was being used as a negative example, was confused. Why did he talk about me? I wanted to get drunk too, but my father wouldn't let me.
Li Dejiang was depressed but had nowhere to express his feelings.
"Lin Xuan, don't be angry, we will pay attention next time." Yuchi Baolin said with a flattering look.
"Don't do this. In order to punish you, I will leave the distilling of liquor to you in the future." Lin Xuan said with a look of disgust.
This was his purpose. In such a cold weather, he didn't want to come to the wine shop every day.
"That's not possible, we don't know how to handle the distillation equipment." Cheng Chumo said quickly.
Lin Xuan said: "It's okay. You asked the craftsmen to make a few sets of distillation equipment. I have taught the house slaves how to assemble them. They are all familiar with it. Just keep it secret."
"When will this wine start to be sold?" Li Dejiang asked.
What he is more concerned about is this. Unlike Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin, they are both eldest sons and are destined to inherit the title.
There was an older brother above him, and he was destined to miss the title. When Li Jing asked him to come over, he told him that with the money earned from the wine shop, he would buy a family property for him first.
"It's not urgent. Do you think we can't sell this wine party?" Lin Xuan said.
The three of them shook their heads, how could such good wine not be sold.
"That's okay, we need to reserve some wine first, otherwise the wine will be sold out within a few days of opening, which will affect our reputation," Lin Xuan said.
Cheng Chumo and the other three nodded quickly. They didn't understand this, but they just thought what Lin Xuan said made sense.
"You heard me right. I'll reserve it for half a month before selling it, but the store needs to be settled first. Do you have one that's suitable? If not, go buy one." Lin Xuan asked.
"Yes, yes. I have a very big store in Dongshi. I'll ask someone to vacate it so it can be used." Yuchi Baolin said aloud.
Lin Xuan said with some worry: "Will it affect your family's business?"
"It's okay, that shop doesn't make much money all year round." Yuchi Baolin said nonchalantly.
Yuchi Gong had told him about the profit of this wine and how much money that shop could make in a year. He knew this clearly.
Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, you ask people to decorate it, it must be high-end, and people must feel that our wine is very high-end when they come in."
After explaining the matter, Lin Xuan was ready to go back.
"Wait a minute, Lin Xuan, you forgot that the wine you mentioned is out. Let's go to Mingyue Pavilion to celebrate." Cheng Chumo said with an ambiguous look.
"I'm not in the mood, let's do it next time!" Lin Xuan didn't expect that he would still remember this incident, but Li Lizhi's heartstrings were touched. How could he be in such a mood now?
…
Lin Xuan returned home and when passing by the small garden at home, he happened to see his sister Lin Duoduo playing there.
The garden is now withered, but the space is relatively large.
Because of the cold weather, Lin Duoduo wore very thick clothes, and because she was not tall, she looked like a penguin. Her face was red and cold, and she was very cute.
"Brother, come and play with me." Lin Duoduo saw Lin Xuan and shouted quickly.
Lin Xuan smiled and hugged his sister, "Oh, whose little fat pig is this?"
"Brother is annoying. He hasn't played with me for many days, and now he calls me a fat little pig." Lin Duoduo cried and squirmed in Lin Xuan's arms, saying that she would not let him hold her anymore.
"Okay, okay, it's my brother who hates me. I'll apologize to you, please don't be angry, okay?" Lin Xuan coaxed at a loss.
"snort!"
Lin Duoduo turned away and ignored Lin Xuan, saying that she was still angry, but she didn't twist anymore.
Children are like this, they get angry and leave quickly.
"Oh, there was originally a way for my brother to save Duoduo from wearing so many clothes and keep her from being cold, but since Duoduo is angry, I can only forget it." Lin Xuan said with pretense of pity.
"If this is the case, I can forgive my brother." Lin Duoduo said.
Seeing the serious expression on his sister's young face, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, since Duoduo has forgiven my brother, I will ask someone to do it for you, but it will take a few days."
"Brother, did you make the bean sprouts you ate today?"
"Yes, Duoduo likes to eat?"
"Well, it's so delicious. I had a bowl of rice today!"
"That's good, we'll have it every day from now on."
After playing with his sister in the garden for a while, until she was tired, Lin Xuan asked Xiaocui, the maid who was waiting for her, to take her to Zhang Qing and then returned to the yard.
…
"Chunyue Yuhe, you all saw the bean sprouts I made last time. Do you know how to make them?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Sir, I think it's okay for me," Chunyue said.
Yu He whispered, "Slave... slave, it's okay."
"Okay, in that case, you go get some more soybeans and continue growing bean sprouts." Lin Xuan said.
Grow bean sprouts is very simple, the most important thing is to keep them out of the light and water them regularly.
Before watering, it was the two of them who did it, so it was no problem. You can just go and see how well they sealed it when the time comes.
After sending the two of them to get bean sprouts, Lin Xuan came to the study. He was going to draw the stove for future generations. Now that the weather is getting colder, he must be well prepared.
The stove is very simple, just an outer layer of iron covering the inner pot.
The inner tank is the most important. If it is not done well, there will be no thermal insulation effect.
After the painting was completed, Lin Xuan called Lin Ping and told him to find some masons and blacksmiths.
Yanshoufang, where the Lin family lives, relies on these crafts to make a living.
Not long after, Lin Ping found two blacksmiths and five masons.
The two blacksmiths are a father and son. The father is Liu Laoer and the son is Liu Agou.
Lin Xuan told them the structure of the stove, and then asked: "How about it? Can it be made?"
Liu Laoer nodded and said: "Mr. Lin, what you said is very simple, I can do it."
"Okay, make ten for me first." Lin Xuan said.
A stove didn't cost much, and he planned to install it for all the servants at home.
After all, souls come from later generations, and it is difficult for Lin Xuan to have that kind of class mentality.
