Chapter 13: Money-Making Business

Coincidentally, when Gao Yuan arrived at the entrance of Lu Mansion, he happened to meet Lu Hong coming back under the guard of several servants, Gao Yuan took a few steps and greeted him.

"Uncle, it's time to go to the office!"

"It's Gaoyuan!" Lu Hong nodded. "This time is so busy that my feet are not touching the ground. It's finally over. The grain and grass are in storage, and I can rest for a while."

"I know that my uncle has been exhausted for a while, and my nephew specially brought two pots of wine here to relieve your fatigue!" Gao Yuanliang smiled as he lit the wine jar in his hand.

"Come here, what kind of wine can you buy, and what kind of good wine can you buy on the street, don't you know that the wine in our house is given by the magistrate of Wu, which is much better than the one sold on the street. If you are greedy for wine Just come over after drinking, you don't need to make any excuses, your eldest brother is gone, I'm so bored, so you can talk to me." Lu Hong tapped Gaoyuan's head.

"Uncle, my wine is not the same as the one sold on the street!" Gao Yuan approached Lu Hong and smiled.

"Oh, it's not the same?" He stared at Gao Yuan with interest, "What's the difference? We only sell one wine in Fufeng County, and there is no semicolon. Could it be that you still make wine?"

The two met the door while talking and laughing, Gao Yuan lowered his voice, "You can't change your nephew, but your nephew can make wine."

Lu Hong suddenly stopped, "Could it be that you are better than the wine made by the Wu family?"

"Uncle, you will know after a try." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, I want to try it!" Lu Hong said: "If it's not good, I'll spank you."

"Let uncle deal with it."

As soon as the mud seal was opened, a strong aroma of wine wafted into the room. Lu Hong, who was taking off his official robe, suddenly stopped and turned around, "It smells good!" He blurted out.

Gao Yuan smiled proudly, picked up the jar, and as the wine poured from the jar into the bowl, Lu Hong's eyes widened as he saw the clear juice like a clear spring. With that somewhat cloudy liquor, Gao Yuan's wine looks much better.

"Uncle, have a taste!" Gao Yuanyuan picked up the wine bowl and gave it to Lu Hong with both hands. He didn't worry that Lu Hong would learn to drink like Ye Jing'er, but every old wine bug has his own set of experience in drinking.

Sure enough, Lu Hong took the wine bowl, first brought it to his nose, took a deep breath, then took a small sip, closed his eyes, and spun the wine several times in his mouth before he followed. The top and bottom of the throat slowly flowed down, and with a heat current rising from the lower abdomen, the whole body suddenly warmed up.

Taking another sip, the speed of swallowing was obviously faster this time. During the whole process, Lu Hong's eyes never opened. Gao Yuan sat on the side without making a sound, just looking at Lu Hong. .

After a long while, Lu Hong took a long sigh, "Good wine, good wine, drink a bowl of this wine, really happy like a fairy." His eyes opened abruptly, "Gao Yuan, this wine is really your own brew. ."

"Yes, uncle. I had a drink at my uncle's place last time, and I felt it was bland. When I went back, I thought about getting some really good wine for my uncle to drink. After fiddling in the house for a month, I finally got these wines." Gao Yuan laughed.

"Good wine, good wine, you have a heart!" Lu Hong laughed loudly, "Unfortunately, if this wine from Fufeng County hadn't been controlled by Lao Wu, you could have made a fortune with this skill."

"It doesn't matter if you make a fortune or not. Originally, I just tinkered with this wine and we can drink it."

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Lu Hong shook his head again and again, "It's a pity that the pearl is hidden." He rolled his eyes a few times, patted the table suddenly, and said loudly: "Yes, Gao Yuan, you can't sell wine, but you can make this wine. Sell ​​the recipe to Lao Wu, let's knock him a good deal, I don't believe he doesn't bleed much."

Gao Yuan looked at Lu Hong, "Uncle, is the magistrate of Wu willing to buy it?"

"Of course I'm willing to buy it!" Lu Hong laughed and said: "Their family is in this business. Seeing that he has such a good wine, it's no wonder that he didn't bother to get it, and he's also worried that you will use this recipe. Sell ​​it to others, no one in Fufeng County dares to buy it, don’t other counties have it, don’t have it in the county, if there is such a good wine, who would still drink the muddy soup that his Wu family used to make?” Wine, the good wine of the Wu family, which Lu Hong had praised before, immediately turned into a muddy soup.

"It's all up to my uncle!" Gao Yuan rolled his eyes a few times, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, "Uncle, since the county magistrate is willing to pay a lot of money to buy it, we can't sell it."

"Why is this?" Lu Hong was puzzled. "I can say with certainty that even if Old Wu brought a thousand guans, he would buy it."

"Uncle, listening to you, my winemaking recipe is still a unique skill. If I sell it for a thousand ounces, it's not a one-shot deal. Looking at the Wu family making a fortune in the future, my grandfather will stare blankly. watch?"

"We can't brew wine, Gao Yuan, don't be too greedy, if you really want to brew wine, you will definitely not be able to stay in Fufeng County, and I can't protect you. It's weird to work hard."

"I don't make wine, but uncle, we can share shares with him! Let's share this formula with him, and then share the land. Wouldn't it mean that we have money every year and have savings every year?"

"I'm afraid Old Wu will not."

"Nephew has his own way to get him to agree." Gao Yuan said confidently.

He glanced at Gao Yuan half-believingly, "Okay, then I'll ask the magistrate Wu to come here. Butler, butler!" Lu Hong shouted loudly.

Lu Bin ran all the way over, "Master, what are your orders?"

"You go to the Wu county magistrate's mansion immediately, and you said that I have important things to discuss with him, and I asked him to make a trip to the manor,"

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Hong picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp, "It's really good wine, the wine in this half of my life is a waste!"

Gao Yuan smiled and walked over, served Lu Hong and took off his official robe, while saying: "In the future, if your uncle wants to drink it, your nephew will get it for you. You report."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Mr. Ye promised me and Ye Jing'er to marry, and said that when Jing'er turns sixteen next year, we will get married."

Lu Hong was taken aback for a moment, "You haven't thought about what I told you before?"

Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I thought about it, and Mrs. Ye also told me about it."

Lu Hong was startled, "He really has something to do with the incident nine years ago. Gao Yuan, I think it's okay, there is no herb in the world, why do you have to have this woman? If you don't get it right, you will be in trouble."

"But uncle, I like Miss Jing'er. Besides, after so many years, few people still remember it. Even if there is any trouble, isn't there still an uncle, and there is still a prefect behind the uncle? Even if they If you don't give face to your uncle, you have to give some face to the prefect, right?"

Lu Hong sighed, "That's what I said, but you also know that I'm just one of the prefect's personal soldiers. If it's really a big deal, the prefect doesn't necessarily take risks for me!"

"Uncle, don't worry too much. Since they have been hiding for nine years, why can't they hide for another ninety years? We, Fufeng County, are far away from the emperor, and there is nothing to fear."

"You can do it yourself, it's best if you can hide it from the past." Lu Hong shook his head. "Forget it, I don't care about you, and as you said, since we've been together for nine years, we'll be fine again. It's not a problem to hide for 90 years. By the way, when are you going to take office?"

"I'm going to go in a few days, and I came here today to tell my uncle."

"Well, when are you going, I'll send your personal soldiers to take you to office, and give those soldiers a warning, lest they see you young and bully you."

"With my uncle in charge, who would dare to bully me?" Gao Yuan said with ease.

"That's maybe, if you don't dare, secretly stumble you, so that you can't tell the hardships, if you do it for a while, then you will run away by yourself, your uncle and I didn't miss it when I was young. Did you do it?" Lu Hong laughed.

"Don't worry, uncle, no matter what, I won't run away. Wouldn't that be a shame for uncle?"

"Okay, then I want to see, how did you stop those soldiers!" Lu Hong said with a smile: "Young people are indeed energetic, but you have suffered a loss, you are not allowed to come here to uncle to cry, the soldiers in the army are not allowed to cry. Things, sometimes it's not easy for me to come forward and pressure."

"Nephew understands!"

"Let's go, it's almost time to count, let's go to greet the magistrate of Wu, today we are going to pull our teeth, and we have to be more respectful in front of us. This is called courtesy before soldiers, right?" Lu Hong said with a smile." If you can really knock Gao Yuan, you have to lend me a lot of money to use it first, it's about to be New Year's Eve, and I have to give a New Year's gift to Tai Shouwei!"

"Mine belongs to my uncle. If you want to borrow it or not, uncle can use it."

"You kid, your mouth is really sweet. It's strange to say that after your injury this time, your temperament has changed a lot compared to before, but I don't know you any more."

"It's natural to be a little more mature after turning around in the palace of the king of hell!" Gao Yuan smiled to cover up the past.
