Chapter 22 Distiller
Seeing the old friends rushing to curry favor with him, Wang Anran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's really impossible to live in ancient times without any power," the official. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, even a small militia captain, there were people who flattered him, and they were so warm."
He has a serious expression, majestic appearance, stands out from the crowd, and is the only one who is alone!
Wang Anran waved his left hand, feeling that he was not strong enough, so he raised his right hand and waved it again. The whip in his hand shook. When the momentum was full, he said, "I want to recruit four people to accompany me to pay. Who would you like to? Take a step forward."
The young men stepped forward together and looked at Wang Anran with eager eyes, hoping that Wang Anran could choose him. After all, in the countryside, there would be a chance to get paid, or risk-free wages. There were very few opportunities for this. Of course, they hoped that good things would be their turn.
Wang Anran had no idea, and didn't know who to choose or who to choose. He looked into the distance and shouted, "Dad, I'm waving and can't make up my mind. Why don't you come and choose for me!"
At this time, Wang Duosun was very proud behind his hands. When he saw his son riding on a horse and whip at the group of teenagers in the village, his pride was so full of thrills!
He said to the villagers around him: "Look, the one riding a horse is my son!"
The villagers nodded together, yes, he is your son, he must be wrong. I have known each other for so many years, who doesn’t know that he is your son!
Wang Duosun said with satisfaction: "Now he has been promoted by Dada Shen, and he has become Captain Ding Zhuang of our village. After eating public food, he can be considered as politician!"
The villagers nodded again, "I've been in politics, what a great word. In the future, in addition to Shen Lizheng, our village has another Captain Wang."
When Wang Duosun heard his son shouting and asked him to help pick people up, he suddenly felt that he had never lived in vain in his life. He finally had this day of pride. He had been waiting for most of his life. Finally, he waited for it. My good son really made a favour for your father!
Behind Wang Duosun's hands, he looked like Mr. Wang, and said with a smile: "Even if An Ran becomes the captain, I still make the decision of our Wang family. This child, I have to ask me when I will grow up!" After saying that, he sighed in a good manner and slowly walked towards Wang Anran.
The villagers followed behind and said nice words and praised Wang Duosun. They treated Wang Duosun with Shen Dayao.
Wang Duosun walked up to him and looked at the boys standing in front of the horse. He was immediately embarrassed. How can I choose? I can't choose! Shen Dayao said last night that he asked Wang Anran to pick four subordinates and form a group, but there were only four candidates standing in front of him. There were just enough, and there was no fifth one waiting for him to brush down!
Of course, Wang Anran also knew that these four people could not be able to move down. He called Wang Duosunlai, because he wanted to know that there were no other candidates in the village except these four. Is it better than the one in front of him?
Wang Duosun didn't think so much, and thought that there were a few that he had to choose! He waved his hand generously and said, "It's all the villagers, since they all want to follow you, just accept them!"
Wang Anran yelled, "Hang Qing'er, my father is more courageous than me. He didn't even choose, so he stayed all of them. He gave him a lot of face and said, "Sure, what's going on, then you'll do it all, listen to your father!"
Suddenly, the eyes of the villagers around him changed when they looked at Wang Duosun. The old man of the Wang family was really capable of making the decision. It seemed that Wang Anran was the captain of the village, and the old man of the Wang family was... the old captain!
Wang Duosun had never received such attention and was even more excited. He almost sang a few lyrics. He waved his hand and said, "My son, you don't have to worry about the work in the field. Lead the team to inspect the safety of the countryside. It has a great responsibility. Don't let you down. Don't let you down. As for the expectations of the governor, you must be a good official!"
Oh, my father also learned to brag! Wang Anran was amused in his heart and said seriously: "As per my father's teachings, my son will go to inspect now!" He waved his whip at the four newly collected subordinates and walked towards the wasteland on the side wall.
After the captain left, the villagers surrounded the old captain and said to Wang Duosun: "Uncle Wang, you will be decent in the future, as decent as Shen Lizheng."
"Uncle Wang, your Anran hasn't mentioned his wife yet, do you think of my old daughter?"
Wang Duosun was very proud and enjoyed the enthusiasm of the villagers. It would be great to have a good son, and he really helped his father!
When he came to the wasteland, Wang Anran looked at the lavender everywhere and sighed in his heart, this is money, money everywhere and distillation utensils can be cooked!
The four teenagers behind him are Ma Youshu, who has a very literary style. After reading for a few days, he can write a few words, but his level is not high. Even if he is not a good candidate, he can even be a occupant. But he likes those who are full of words to pretend to be a cultural person, so his companions always like to make fun of him.
The other three, one is Bao Dazhu, who is strong and the other is Feiliang. The farmer's children named Liang. The original intention is to not have enough food to eat, but if they are connected with the surname, it is not very nice. The last one is Liu Shuan. His family is the poorest, with only two acres of land. In addition to planting his own land, he also works for others to work for short-term workers and earn money for food. Therefore, Wang Anran is the most happy to be recruited by him. He can eat the food provided by the village for free, save energy, and eat fullness.
Wang Anran looked back at them. He didn't know how to train soldiers, and there was no need to train. He wasn't going to fight. After thinking about it, he said, "It's nothing, let's do it today. When Shen Li is collecting the food that supports us, everyone will share some of it. In the future, it's all for me and Shen Lizheng's family!"
The four of them were overjoyed, and they knew that the food would be in vain. As for helping Shen Dayao and Wang Anran work, it was a trivial matter. What they lacked was food, but they did not lack strength. The four of them went home happily.
There was nothing wrong on this day, and there was nothing wrong in the following days. The food was sent to Ding Zhuang and others. Of course, the bell did not come. Life was still so peaceful. Except for the villagers who would call Wang Anran and call Captain Wang, nothing seemed to have changed.
That afternoon, Wang Anran was thinking about the recipe at home, and suddenly a friend from the Shenjia Kiln came and shouted outside the door: "Captain Wang, where is the home? The perfume bottle you want is that strange thing. It's cooked on the kiln. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Wang Anran immediately came out and said, "I'm ready to burn? So fast, I thought I'd have to wait a few more days. Let's go and have a look together!" As soon as the distillation utensils are in place, he will be able to make essential oils immediately.
He rushed to the porcelain kiln with his friend. When he arrived at the kiln, he saw a strange porcelain on the open space, which was his still.
Shen Dayao and Hu Qiaoshou were both looking at the distiller. They didn't understand what the use of this thing was. Seeing that Wang Anran came, Shen Dayao said, "Anran, the thing has been cooked, it has been checked, there is no crack at all, and it has passed the seal. This is the first time that such a good job has been done in this kiln. Do you still feel satisfied?"
Wang Anran rushed to the front of the distillation equipment and looked carefully. It was completely in line with his requirements and was no worse than modern glass products. He smiled and said, "I am satisfied, so satisfied. Thank you, Master Shen, and thank you, Master Hu."
Shen Dayao smiled and said, "What are you polite to me? If you are satisfied, I'll send it home to you." He ordered his partner to pack the distiller with a straw bag, put it on the ox cart, and send it to Wang Anran's home.
Hu Qiaoshou said, "Brother Wang, I heard that you have become the captain. The young man is promising and amazing. Thank you for your blessing, I can eat fresh soup buns every day these days, and I can't live a comfortable life."
Wang Anran was happy and said, "I'm going to hide it from Master Hu. I might open a restaurant or something in a few days. When you come to have a meal, I'll give you the cheapest one, at least give it a discount."
Hu Qiaoshou said in confusion: "What does it mean to have a half-discount?"
"It means half cheaper." Wang Anran said. If essential oils are easy to sell, they might have to expand production. At that time, Hu Qiaoshou had to make a distiller for him and establish a good relationship.
Hu Qiaozhe was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him. He was the most greedy for verbal desires. As long as he heard about food, he would do whatever he asked him to do.
Shen Dayao smiled and said, "You want to open a restaurant? You will definitely make a lot of money with your skills. If I go to your restaurant for dinner, do you think I am cheap?"
"Look at what Dad Shen said, come for dinner, don't have to bring anything else, just bring your stomach!" After Wang Anran finished speaking, he ran home, and he was anxious to try the distiller.
Hu Qiaoshouqi said, "Boss, why is Brother Shen so polite to you? No matter how good the friendship is, you can't eat and drink for nothing. Could it be that you want to recruit him as your grandson-in-law?"
Shen Dayao uttered and shook his head, "What's the point? An Ran and I are neighbors, and he has promoted him to Captain Ding Zhuang. Isn't he supposed to thank me? Don't say anything about my grandson-in-law in the future."
Originally, Shen Dayao wanted to recruit Wang Anran as his grandson-in-law, but since Shen Jue took the medicine prescribed by Wang Anran, the disease on his face began to improve, and there were signs of complete improvement. Once the disease was cured, Shen Jue became more beautiful. Shen Dayao's intention became active again, and he wanted to tell the old granddaughter that the family was good to be married, and it was best to be a good family, which was considered a good match. With this idea, I couldn't help feeling a little disgusted, so I added my intention to treat Wang Anran as a compensation.
Wang Anran ran home and saw that the two guys had already unloaded the still. He asked him to put the still in his room. The small still was completely placed in the room and settled down. Then he sent the guy away.
Feng and Tubao were both at home, and they came over together. Feng said, "Anran, what is this? Why is it so weird?"
But Tubao said, "Is it used to worship ancestors? Just pray to it, can ancestors appear?"
Wang Anran smiled and said, "Mom, this is a secret thing. With it, it's hard for our family to be undeveloped! By the way, Tubao, you are not allowed to talk about this matter to outsiders, it doesn't sound like it. If you talk nonsense, you won't give you food, and you're hungry every day!"
Tubao was immediately scared and nodded quickly, saying that he would never say anything outside.
Wang Anran said, "I'll pick wild flowers. Mom, please be careful of this thing, don't break it." As he said that, he ran out of the house and rode his horse to pick the flowers.
But Feng chased after him and shouted, "Son, don't pick wild flowers. The wild flowers on the roadside are not fragrant. If you want to get married, your mom will go to the matchmaker now..."
