Chapter 25
【Father Li's death is inseparable from King An】
The source of Flammulina velutipes is hard to explain, and Ye Fan doesn't plan to make any announcements until the fruit is grown.
He didn't even tell the members of Yu's family. He quietly tidied up the westernmost cave dwelling by himself, built a bed frame with adobe and wooden planks, put mushroom bags on it, and left enough distance between the two ends for the mushrooms to grow.
Under normal circumstances, Flammulina velutipes requires procedures such as loading, sterilization, and inoculation before mushrooming.
Fortunately, the fungus bags sold in the system mall are very friendly. They are specially prepared for handicapped people like Ye Fan. The sterilization and inoculation have been done in the early stage. You only need to pay attention to ventilation, moisturizing, and temperature control, and then wait for the mushrooms to grow .
These few days Ye Fan was busy growing mushrooms, so the pamphlet was thrown aside.It was Fat Tuan's reminder that he remembered that he originally planned to make a few cars for the Guan family as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, he simply found a piece of thick paper, glued the cover on, and handed it to Yu Sanniang, asking her to copy the steps of making the cart.
Earlier, Father Ye invited his wife to teach at home, and both Yu Erlang and Yu Sanniang followed suit to read some characters, plus Yu Sanniang did a good job in embroidery and often painted flowers, this matter was not at all important to her. not difficult.
In just two days, she finished drawing the drawing, and copied down the notes beside it.
Ye Fan took a comparison and felt that Yu Sanniang's drawing was better than the original one. Not only were the lines simple, but he also replaced those awkward classical Chinese annotations with local vernacular, which was really a surprise.
Holding the drawings, Ye Fan praised Yu Sanniang, telling her to hide in the house in embarrassment.Yu Erlang thought he was uneasy and kind, so he stared at him several times overtly and secretly.
Ye Fan acted as if he hadn't seen it, happily planning to get someone to send the blueprint to Guan Wulang.
It was just a drawing, he didn't take it seriously, but Uncle Yu didn't think so.
In this era, any craft is a job to support the family, and it is mostly passed down from master to apprentice, from father to son, and it can be said that it is the only one that is casually handed over to outsiders like Ye Fan.
Uncle Yu didn't inquire about the case of Che Yu's pamphlet, but told Yu Dalang carefully to hand over the things to Guan Wulang himself, and he could not read it himself, nor could he show it to others.
Yu Dalang solemnly agreed, and he took a boat to Yushuzhuang on the same day.
The next day, just after dawn, Guan Dalang came with Guan Wulang, carrying two baskets full of pickled goose eggs, a large knife of fat and thin pork belly, and four fluffy little goose babies.
Ye Fan was squatting in front of the cage to tease the little goose, when he heard a "boom", Guan Wulang suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to him.
But Ye Fan was frightened, so he hurried to pull him up, "Get up, what are you doing?"
Guan Wulang seemed to have taken root, even though Ye Fan exerted all his strength, he remained motionless.
The rough voice was loud, "My brother said, from now on you will be my master and benefactor, and when you grow old, I will take care of you until the end of your life."
As soon as these words came out, the people present bowed their heads, turned their faces away, and laughed sullenly.
Ye Fan couldn't laugh or cry, squinting at Guan Dalang.
Guan Dalang rubbed his nose and said without changing his expression, "I didn't say the last sentence."
Guan Wulang looked at his elder brother with a rough face, wondering, "It's obviously what you said, why don't you admit it?"
Guan Dalang coughed lightly and kicked him, "Shut up, get up quickly."
Guan Wulang patted the place where he was kicked, and complained in a rough voice: "Sister-in-law's new clothes should be reserved for my wife, don't mess me up!"
"You are an elm lump, and you still want to marry a wife, pull it down!"
Guan Goro hummed, and stood up straight from the ground.
The window of the West Room was opened a crack, revealing a handsome face with crooked eyebrows and smiling faces.
Kan Goro glanced at it inadvertently, and his dark face immediately turned red.
In this way, Ye Fan inexplicably gained an additional apprentice.
Although Guan Goro is simple-minded, he really has the energy to study, chopping trees, drying wood, and using extremely simple tools to cut parts, it can be said that he forgot to sleep and eat.
He was illiterate, and obsessed with following the rules, he refused to let other people see the drawings, so he went to Hanjialing to ask for advice when he encountered difficulties.
Ye Fan was busy occasionally, so he asked Yu Sanniang to teach him. Once they came and went, the contact between the two of them increased.
Aunt Yu looked at it, and couldn't help but think a little further, feeling both happy and sad in her heart.
The joy is that the Guan family is thriving and the brothers are united, which is a good marriage.The worry is that my family is from a humble family, no matter how good Yu Sanniang is, the Guan family may not be happy.Even if the Guan family is willing, she still feels uneasy, fearing that her daughter will be poor after marrying.
When a mother meets her children, she always thinks about it, looks forward and backward.
***
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Zhuangyuanhong has been completely settled, and the sake produced is [-]% more than in previous years, not to mention that the quality has improved a lot.
Uncle Yu was so excited that he said hello again and again, turned around and returned home, took the wine to burn incense on Laodie Ye's memorial tablet, and when he came out again, his face was flushed, obviously he had drunk too much.
Compared with him, Ye Fan looked very calm. This wine may be good in this era, but it is still far behind compared with later generations.
He planned carefully in his mind, and when the Flammulina velutipes harvested a crop, he would exchange a batch of more advanced equipment with the system. At that time, rice wine, white wine, and wine would be sold in turn, so that the Ye family's signboard would shine again.
By the way, there is also medicinal wine.
Two days ago, Ye Fan took out the dregs of the medicine. Even without Mr. Bian's appraisal, based on his own experience, he could tell that the quality was good.
Coincidentally, as soon as the medicinal wine was prepared, some customers came to the door.
Still an acquaintance.
Because of the happy transaction last time, Anhui behaved very familiar this time.
"The mistress used the Ganoderma lucidum wine made by Mr. Xiaolang, and her old illness was cured a lot. My lord ordered me to send a thank you gift. In addition, if it is convenient, I beg Mr. Xiaolang to drink more."
Ye Fan suppressed the surprise in his heart, and showed a very generous face, "Brother An, you are welcome. You came by coincidence. A few days ago, you just prepared a new one. If it is for the wife, it is more suitable than Ganoderma lucidum wine."
When An Hui heard this, he hesitated—the master asked him to ask for Ganoderma lucidum wine. At this time, Ye Fan said that there is a "more suitable" one, how to fix it?
Ye Fan saw the entanglement in his heart, and said along the way: "It just so happens that this batch of medicinal wine needs to be sent to the medical clinic, so that a doctor who is proficient in pharmacology can taste it. If Brother An is not in a hurry, why not go with me."
"Ok, deal!"
An Hui responded bluntly, praising Ye Xiaolang in his heart, this Ye Xiaolang is smart and meticulous, it can be seen that the rumors are misleading and cannot be fully believed.
After entertaining An Hui and the others for lunch at home, Ye Fan took their carriage and took three jars of medicinal wine to Jishengtang.
The old doctor Bian was sitting in the middle hall for consultation, and when he got the letter, he greeted him in person.
Without waiting for Ye Fan to greet him, the old gentleman raised his hand first, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my friend, the first batch of chilblain ointment has been made, and the color and effect are really good. I thank you here."
Ye Fan hurriedly saluted.
Behind him, An Hui had a sullen face with a very serious expression - he had been like this ever since he stepped into the gate of Jisheng Hall.Before that, Ye Fan didn't tell him that he was coming to Jishengtang.
Mr. Bian also squinted his eyes when he saw the badge on his body.
However, in front of Ye Fan, both parties did not show it, but greeted politely, and there was no unnecessary communication after that.
Both were busy with each other, and all the extra politeness was omitted, Mr. Bian immediately invited doctors from several other medical clinics to taste the three altars of medicinal wine together, which was enough for Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was flattered.
An Hui looked at him with a more serious gaze. He didn't expect Ye Fan to have contact with his family and even be taken seriously—is it because of the "chilblain ointment"?
An Hui secretly remembered it in his heart.
After careful discussions, the doctors came to a good result.
Led by Mr. Bian, each family took out a long wooden sign, "This is a certificate, and it is only valid for these three medicinal wines. If you make a new one, you need to re-taste it."
Ye Fan knew that this was equivalent to a "certificate of qualification".
He thanked them again and again, and each sent a jug of sake as a gift of gratitude—fortunately, he brought a few more jars, otherwise it would not be enough.
Although the doctors didn't want to do this, they were satisfied with his respect and politeness, and expressed their opinions one after another. If they make new wine, they are willing to come forward as a guarantee.
There is a pharmacy called "Baicaotang", which originally sold medicinal wine. The doctor asked tentatively: "I wonder how Mr. Ye Xiaolang intends to sell this medicinal wine? If you want to store it in a medical center or a pharmacy, please consider my hundred Thatched cottage."
This is undoubtedly a surprise to Ye Fan.
"Boy, I would like to thank you sir. I was still worrying about how to sell this wine. Although my family also has a winery, its basic reputation is not comparable to that of Baicaotang, which can help the world... If you don't give up, your store can consign one or two. The kid's honor is also the luck of this wine."
Ye Fan didn't hold it up at all, and praised the Baicaotang all the way, making the doctor smile all over his face, and immediately placed a big order.
An Hui was dumbfounded.
The old doctor Bian shook his head and laughed.
——Little fox, really a little fox!
***
Anhui sent Ye Fan back to Hanjialing, his words were more respectful.
Ye Fan didn't know the background, and didn't care too much, he was still as straightforward and decent as before.
He filled Anhui with two jugs of "Shengui Yangrong Wine" suitable for women, and gave Anhui a jar of top-quality No. [-] Scholar Red Sake for no money.
——He had seen it secretly, and the thank you gift brought by Anhui included not only a thick old ginseng, but also two silver ingots the size of a baby's fist, which together amounted to at least 100 taels.
Not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.
Therefore, Ye Xiaocai's fans became more enthusiastic about An Hui and the others and sent them to the valley all the time.
"When the mulberries come out, I'll make some fruit wine. The medicinal properties are mild, and ladies and gentlemen can taste it. If Brother An wants to, I'll keep some."
"In that case, I will thank Mr. Xiao Lang on behalf of the master's family. I will definitely come when the introduction is made. Please stop, Mr. Xiao Lang."
Ye Fan held his hand, and the two sides said goodbye.
Neither of them knew that at this moment, someone was standing on the attic and watching them intently.
Even though they were far away, Li Yao still recognized An Hui.What's more, the signboard of the Anzhou Jiedushi was clearly hanging on the carriage, and it was difficult to admit his mistake.
Ruan Yu clicked his tongue in amazement: "This man named An is really arrogant. He ran to our territory blatantly, and he is not afraid that he will never return?"
Li Yao had a cold face, although he didn't say anything, everyone who knew him knew that his Lord Hou was not in a good mood at the moment.
Yu Gong, Li's family and An's family are political enemies. In the past, in the court, An Wang and Li's father confronted each other everywhere.In private, there are various indications that Li's father's death is inseparable from King An's. Once he gets the exact evidence, Li Yao will absolutely avenge his father at all costs.
Now that Li's father died, the Li family withdrew from the court and settled down in a corner.However, the An family became a vassal, flourishing like the sun.In the eyes of outsiders, it was undoubtedly An Jia's victory.
With a dark face, Li Sanlang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to let him see and see. The territory of my Li family is not where cats and dogs can come!"
As he spoke, he took his whip angrily and ran downstairs.
