The next day, Xu Heitan and Chuchen who were riding out horses came back and said they had found the place.

After lunch, Xiahou An followed him out of the city.

On the hillside twenty miles away from the eastern suburbs, Xiahou An saw this site. Judging from the appearance of the buildings, it should have been a stronghold of bandits, but the house was overgrown and deserted. It seems that it has not been crowded for a long time.

That's right.

Xiahou An took the lead in picking up the guards, and the accompanying guards were also busy.

During this period, Xiahou An ordered: "Hei Tan, bring a few people to inform Pu Tao and ask him to bring the steaming barrels and other items here."

Xu Heitan received the order and left.

"Qingqian, soak the sorghum you bought in water into the jar... and, don't be idle for others. Make a round stove in the place I have drawn..."

After the house was cleaned up, Xiahou An continued to command.

"Master, what are we going to do?"

Someone couldn't help asking.

I have been busy for so long, even if I want to break my mind, I have no clue.

Others also looked at me asking for advice.

“I want to make wine.”

Xiahou An said confidently.

Brewing?

After hearing this answer, the guards were stunned. For the first time, they felt that the lord was a little unsatisfied. Isn’t it good to buy a ready-made one at the market? Why do you have to spend so much effort?

Xiahou An shook his head, you don’t understand.

At midnight, Pu Tao and others took torches and transported the steaming bucket.

Xiahou An compared the sizes one by one, which was not much different from the drawings he designed, so he ordered the guards to put them on the stove.

"Master, do you want to make a fire?"

After the steamer was flat, Pu Tao asked.

Xiahou An said no.

"Master, what's next?"

Xu Heitan, who rolled up his sleeves and exposed his dark arms, grinned and asked. Although it was already early morning, he was still full of energy.

"Find a place and sleep." Xiahou An, who was in a good mood, spoke in a cheerful tone.

"Okay, find a place to sleep...ha???"

Xu Heitan answered casually and was stunned.

On summer nights, the slightly drunk mountain wind is filled with a hint of coolness.

When she walked out of the house, Xiahou An was not pretentious. She found a place casually, sat down on the ground, then lowered her upper body, pillowed her hands behind her head, lying comfortably on the lawn, enjoying the unique tranquility in the mountains.

The lords were so free and easy, and the guards also looked for a place to go. When they closed their eyes, they fell asleep soon after.

The next day, the morning light broke through the darkness and the earth ushered in light.

It's dawn.

After Xiahou An woke up, he made new arrangements, leaving the two to guard the place, while the rest scattered and returned to the city.

Two days later, Xiahou An took the bamboo basket that had been placed in the shade and slashed off the straw covered on it. A layer of mold had grown from the balls inside.

"Master, can this be eaten?"

The guard captain Pu Tao looked twisted, and this thing looked disgusting.

Xiahou An glanced at him and said angrily: "Who told you that this is for food?"

"If you don't eat it, it must be poison!"

The guards thought at the same time.

Xiahou An didn't give much explanation, took it out one by one, and put it in the sun.

After three days of exposure to the sun, the balls were extremely dry. Xiahou An crushed them into powder and filled them in a jar.

Hearing that Xiahou An had not gone out for several days, Wang Yun was anxious and rushed to the door, and he couldn't help but urge: "Boyang, there is only half of the time left, it's time to take action!"

Looking at Old Man Wang's anxious look, Xiahou An smiled, and his father-in-law had been thinking that he was just putting it here to play these days!

But this is also good. If you can hide it from this old guy, it will be even more difficult for others to understand and speculate.

"Don't worry, boy, I know it."

Xiahou An comforted her with a smile.

However, Wang Yun couldn't laugh, and he had been frowning since he entered the mansion: "You haven't seen any movement for a long time. Now many people have complaints, so it's hard for me to deal with it!"

"Sir, just follow your plan. I don't need to worry." Xiahou An said relaxed.

"Boyang, I have been placing all the great cause of the Han Dynasty this time. Don't let me down!"

"I know, just take a look at it when you are old."

After seeing off Wang Yun, Xiahou An left the city again soon.

Arriving at the mountainside outside the suburbs, Xiahou An began to steam sorghum.

During the steaming and cooking process, the sorghum emits a rising white heat. In addition, it is summer now, and people have not moved yet, just standing in this room, they are already sweating all over.

After the sorghum was cooked, Xiahou stood up and took out the steamed sorghum from the hot steaming bucket with a winnowing basket, and then poured it into sixteen winnowing baskets arranged in two rows.

Seeing this, the guards followed suit.

After a while, all the sorghum in the steamer was brought out.

Xiahou An didn't rest, and sprinkled homemade wine choruses one by one on the sorghum in the dustpan. When the temperature of the sorghum dropped a little, he picked up the dustpan and began to sprinkle the vacant open space.

After finishing the sprinkling, Xiahou rested for a while.

When the sorghum on the ground completely cooled down, he and his guards put it into a large stone jar, covered it with white cloth and fermented it.

"Master, are you sure this is brewing wine?"

The guards were spinning around the stone jar, talking nonsense.

This method of making wine is not only unheard of, but also has never been heard of. Sorghum can also be used to make wine.

"There are so many things you don't know! Follow my lord and study hard!"

Xiahou An hugged his arms, and the corners of his mouth looked a little proud.

In the next two days, Xiahou An did not return to Chang'an, but kept squatting here.

By the third day, Xiahou An thought it was almost done and personally lifted the white cloth covering the stone jar.

A strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the room.

Xiahou An took a deep breath, and the familiar smell was still there!

At the same time, the guards standing guard outside came in as they smelled the smell.

"What a rich and mellow wine smell!"

"I feel that just by smelling this, I'm going to be drunk!"

"The lord has really made it come out!"

The guards were stunned and drooled.

Looking at the greedy appearance of these lazy people, Xiahou An spat and urged: "Work and work, then some of you will be there."

When the guards heard this, they were like hungry wolves who hadn't eaten meat for decades. Their eyes were green and they were full of energy and shouted that their lord was wise!

Not to mention a little bit, even if you can only take a sip, you will have no regrets in this life.

Now, there is only one last step away from distilling out the wine!

Xiahou An ordered the guards to take action quickly.

At this moment, a cheerful laughter suddenly sounded outside the house: "Can you drink such a good wine together?"

Xiahou An frowned.

This matter cannot be revealed.

The door was pushed open, and standing outside the door was a young man about eight feet tall, with a tying hair tied with a handsome face, and a smiling eyebrows and eyes full of unruly.

Xiahou An suddenly felt a sudden burst of heart, and his little heart was so excited that he was about to jump out of his throat!
