After leaving the blacksmith shop, he looked at the sky and knew that it was too late to rush back to Shanglin Village today, so he simply returned to the county house. He did not go to find Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun to read the book. He was close to the scientific examination and did not want to disturb them. He lived in the county house for a whole night, so he returned to Shanglin Village the next day. When he got home, he asked Lu Zhonglian to clean up a warehouse at home, then built a stove inside, and asked Lu Zhonglian to make some shelves with wood.
Two days later.
Liang Dazhu drove a car to the village in Shanglin Village of Luoxin. Luo Ping and his wife saw Liang Dazhu deliver a car of wine, so they asked Luo Xin what they were going to do. Luo Xin just smiled and shook his head, and just ordered Liang Dazhu and Lu Zhong to move the wine and jar into the warehouse that had been prepared. Then they entered the warehouse alone, closed the door, and became busy inside.
No one knew what he was doing. Luo Ping and his wife were very surprised and worried. Luo Xin was about to take the imperial examination. Not only did he not go to school, but he bought a car of wine. What was he going to do?
However, Luo Xin soon walked out and locked the warehouse. Seeing his father and mother, Lu Zhonglian, Liang Dazhu and others looking at him for no reason, he smiled:
"I'm studying something, and it's not allowed to enter here."
"Xin'er, it's time for the scientific examination..." Luo looked at Luo Xin worriedly.
"I'll go back to study now!"
Luo Xin walked towards his yard with great strides. Luo Ping and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Day 5.
Luo Xin rode away from Shanglin Village early in the morning to the county town. Luo Xin, who is now twelve years old, no one cares about him. Even his parents just reminded him to be careful on the way.
When he entered the county town, he went straight to the blacksmith shop. Seeing the tools for purifying wine that had been created, Luo Xin smiled on his face. After checking one by one, he happily paid and tied the tools to the horse. He turned over the horse and ran towards Shanglin Village.
When I returned to the village, I had no time to rest, so I went into the warehouse. I inserted the door from inside and started assembling the tools.
"Dangdangdang..."
There was a knock on the door outside the warehouse, and a Butterfly's voice came: "Young Master, the old lady calls you to have a meal."
"Oh, here we come!"
Luo Xin's voice came from the warehouse. Then when he saw Luo Xin open the door and walk out, Die'er opened his eyes wide in surprise and covered his mouth. Seeing Die'er's appearance, Luo Xin looked down at him and couldn't help laughing. At this time, his clothes were very dirty, and he smiled:
"Go and tell my mother, let them eat first, I'll take a shower."
"yes!"
Die'er held back her laughter and turned around and ran away. Luo Xin could still hear her giggle and laughed mockingly, and walked towards her yard.
"Chunhua, boil my bath water." As soon as I entered the yard, Luo Xin called out.
"Ah..." After coming out of the room, Chunhua who looked like Luo Xin couldn't help but speak out in surprise.
"Go quickly!" Luo Xin said with a stern face.
"yes!"
After Chunhua squatted and bowed, she hurried into the house and started boiling water. The giggling laughter made Luo Xin shake his head helplessly.
After dinner, Luo Xin hurried away, making Luo Ping and his wife look at each other. A look of worry appeared in their eyes. Luo Xin got into the warehouse again.
The next morning.
Luo Ping came to the yard and had just opened his posture to prepare for martial arts. But he suddenly sniffed, and a strong aroma of wine sucked into his heart and lungs. Luo Ping's eyes suddenly emitted light. He threw the knife on the rack, and walked along the aroma of wine while squeezing his nose. Soon he stood in front of the door of the warehouse. He reached out and pushed the door gently. Now the door was inserted inside. I don't know what Luo Xin was doing inside, so it was difficult to disturb Luo Xin. So he scratched his ears and heads and walked back and forth outside the door.
"Squeak..."
The door opened, Luo Xin walked out of the inside with a blushing face, and a rich aroma of wine gushed out from the door. Luo Ping stepped forward to Luo Xin and said:
"Xin'er, you're drinking secretly."
"No!"
"Didn't you drink?" Luo Ping's face darkened, "Look at how you blushed?"
"Oh!" Luo Xin raised his hand and touched his face. He felt it was hot, and said, "It was smelled of alcohol."
"Shuangdi? What are you doing?" Luo Ping poked his head into the warehouse.
"Making wine!" Luo Xin did not hide it from his father, "Don't tell others!"
Luo Ping ignored Luo Xin and stepped in from Luo Xin in one step. He didn't believe that Luo Xin was brewing wine. No one in the Luo family had ever brewed wine for generations. But as soon as he entered the warehouse, some iron pipes that he couldn't understand were assembled there, one end on the other side of the pot, and the other end was stretched on the mouth of a jar, dripping shiny wine into the jar. Luo Ping sniffed, and said in disbelief:
"Is it really brewing?"
Luo Xin closed the door and walked over and said, "Of course, it's brewing wine."
"But...but...this is not like brewing!"
"This is not real winemaking!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I just increased the wine's degree through distillation. In fact, in addition to increasing the degree, the taste may not be good."
"I'll try it!"
After saying that, Luo Ping took a scoop and put it into the jar to scoop a spoonful.
"father!"
Before Luo Xin could stop him, Luo Ping drank in a big gulp.
"puff!"
Luo Ping directly squirted out half of his mouth, but still half of his mouth was still falling down his throat. Luo Ping's face turned red with a sound of redness, and a hiccup came out for a while, and his eyes were brightly staring at Luo Xin:
“It’s so satisfying!”
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "This is not enough. Last night, it was just the first time to distillate. After three times of distillation, the degree will be higher."
"Will it be higher?" Luo Ping's eyes became brighter.
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "When you are buried underground for a while, the taste will be softer and will taste better."
"Oh!" Luo Ping looked up and down at the tools, then looked back at Luo Xin, who was congested with eyes and said, "You were busy all night yesterday?"
"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded.
"Why do you think of brewing wine?" Luo Ping frowned and said, "Our family is not short of money now, and you are about to take the scientific exam."
"I will only use this time." Luo Xin whispered.
"Give me a gift?"
"Um!"
"who?"
"Magistrate Sun."
"Hiss..." Luo Ping took a breath: "When did you... make friends with Prefect Sun?"
"It was when I was fighting for water in Wenshu last time, he gave me a famous sage. If I pass the exam for the Tongsheng, I have to go to Jinyang Mansion during the mansion exam, and I have to go to see you."
"Yeah!" Luo Ping nodded, looked at the tools, and then looked at Luo Xin and said, "Xin'er, you've been busy all night, how can you steam it..."
“Distillation.”
"Yes, distillation. Teach me how to distillate. I'll brew it, and you go to bed."
