Chapter 23 Suppressing Bandits Luoxia Town

Zhang Chuchen laughed and scolded: "Okay, if you don't take out the good wine earlier, how dare you hide your own private life?"

"My poor inn is almost closed. Where can I have good wine in stock? But in order to open the inn again, I made some preparations. I will give me half an hour to make a pot of strong wine for you. Don't think it's too strong at that time." Du Shaoqing said mysteriously.

"You guys are talking nonsense. Who can make wine for less than a few months, and at least it takes more than a month. You can do it in half an hour?

OK, I'll see what you have the ability to speak so loudly. As long as you can make it, I will dare to drink it. There is no strong wine in the world that I dare not drink."

After feeding the child and coaxing him to bed, Du Shaoqing came to the kitchen and started working with an oil lamp. As he said, he prepared these things when he was about to reopen the inn.

During the Tang Dynasty, the country was poor, with materials scarce, and basically there were disasters every year. It can be said that most of the people were struggling on the line of food and clothing, and the country was extremely short of food. Therefore, the law clearly stipulated that grain was prohibited from making wine, and violators were severely punished.

However, Chinese people have been drinking for a long time and food is not allowed to be used. So they go to the mountains and forests to collect some wild fruits and make some turbid fruit bars.

Du Shaoqing did not dare to violate the law and use grain to make wine. Of course, his family was poor and could not afford to buy grain to make wine. Therefore, when he was building an iron pot, he prepared a distillation pot lid, which was specifically used to distillate alcohol from existing fruit wines.

Because the methods are simple and the equipment is rough, the distilled cannot be considered alcohol. After repeated distillations, the finished product is only about fifty degrees.

Seeing Du Shaoqing pouring a jar of turbid wine into a large iron pot and steaming it back and forth, Zhang Chuchen felt very novel. When she saw a little bit of crystal clear wine flowing out, a sensation arose in her heart. Can this kid really do it? Isn’t it bragging?

But, it's not right. With such a skill, why worry about not being rich? How could he be so poor? Could it be that the princess pretended to be shabby, so that people could come here to explore the truth? After thinking for a long time, it was hard to explain, Zhang Chuchen had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and he needed to investigate it carefully from the surroundings.

"Sister, it's not that I'm boasting about exaggeration. This wine is definitely the most intense in the world, but one person should not drink too much, and one should not drink too much at a time. Don't..."

Before Du Shaoqing finished speaking, Zhang Chuchen directly picked up the small wine jar and gulped it.

"Hmm? Why is this wine...

You kid, you cheat..." Zhang Chuchen's face turned red when he sipped his wine. He pointed at Du Shaoqing and couldn't speak.

Then the alcohol swelled up to his head, and Zhang Chuchen staggered a step under his feet, shook for a while and stood firm again. He was shocked again. You must know that he is one of the few Green Forest masters in the world. When did his steps pass by? This small sip of wine actually made him lose his composure?

"Okay, good wine, the most intense in the world, this wine is worthy!"

Zhang Chuchen smiled and praised, then took a jar of strong wine alone, and came to the living room of the back house with side dishes to eat and drink.

Du Shaoqing did not drink alcohol. He made wine to make money, but he did not drink himself. In his previous life, he was a medical practitioner. Not drinking alcohol was for stability. It has become a habit. Even if he did not practice medicine, he would not drink alcohol in this life.

Seeing Zhang Chuchen drinking about half a jar by himself, Du Shaoqing hurriedly stopped him. Just kidding, this jar probably has two or three pounds, and who can drink more than fifty degrees of wine? Besides, she is still a woman, can she not get drunk and go crazy if she drinks more than one pound?

Zhang Chuchen, who was drunk and blushing, was in a good mood. Du Shaoqing advised: "Sister, don't drink anymore. Let's go tomorrow. The day is long. If you drink too much, it will hurt your body."

"It's just you guys who are stingy and you have ten taels of silver. Tomorrow you will go, buy more bad wines, and then use them all to produce fine wines.

I brought the wine jar, how can I not drink the best wine in the world? Do you think I am old?" Zhang Chuchen was already a little drunk.

Du Shaoqing looked at the other party and asked slightly tentatively: "Sister, I have always had a question to ask you, can you tell me to satisfy my curiosity?"

Hong Fu Nu shook her head, and then tried to keep herself awake and stared at Du Shaoqing. Suddenly she smiled, "I didn't expect you to see through it. I underestimated you. Tell me, how did you guess?"

"I'm very curious, how old are you this year? Looking so young, you actually have such a good martial arts. How many ranks are like your skills in the Tang Dynasty martial arts world?"

Puff! Zhang Chuchen directly sprayed out the wine in his mouth and vomited the other person's face in front of Du Shaoqing.

OK, I thought this kid saw through his origin and knew that he was coming for his daughter, but he didn't expect that he was asking this question. Hong Fu Nu felt so embarrassed. Fortunately, she didn't let her say anything.

He waved his hand and replied vaguely: "You see how old I am. As for my skills, haha, I don't say that there are many people in the Tang Dynasty."

This... this is impossible! Du Shaoqing was stunned. Looking at your tone, could it be the best master in the world?

He shook his head vigorously, and Du Shaoqing comforted himself, "I'm confused, and asked a drunk who is the best in the world in the world for what? Nine out of ten drunks said that the heavens are the second and the third, and it's in vain to ask.

Sure enough, Zhang Chuchen got drunk before he could finish the jar of wine, and the remaining half of the jar was taken to the kitchen by Du Shaoqing.

The next morning, the Zheng County Government Office gathered together, and dozens of people were equipped with swords and swords. Under the leadership of the county magistrate, they rushed towards Luoxia Town.

Aunt San’s steamed buns had just sold breakfast steamed buns. Du Shaoqing was preparing ingredients later in the morning. Zhang Chuchen was drunk last night and has not gotten up yet. The noise outside became noisy.

"Come here, quickly surround this thief inn and don't let anyone go." County magistrate Di Zhixun shouted loudly.

Aunt San was so scared that she was at a loss. Du Shaoming, who was helping, hurriedly ran into the house, "Brother, brother, the county magistrate and his team surrounded our inn, and they were all out of their sheath. It seemed that they wanted to surround us.

Where is the heroine in red? Call her out for help!

No, could she be a villain who was wanted by the court and now the government is here to arrest her?"

Du Shaoqing was also surprised. Why did the county magistrate come to arrest people? What happened? Could it be that he was the king of county magistrate again? As for the second brother Du Shaoming's speculation, Du Shaoqing did not believe it. The heroine in red must not be a bad person. By the way, that was to come for the group of bandits he had just accepted.

After thinking through everything, Du Shaoqing went back to his room to take out a few contracts for selling his body and walked out quickly. Outside the inn gate was like a front line on the battlefield, and the county magistrate had already commanded the troops to be on the battlefield.

"County magistrate, I am the shopkeeper of this inn. All this is a misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation."

But Du Shaoqing miscalculated and he did not notice it in panic. After he came out, the five newly-made friends also came out. The five bandits were furious when they saw that they were surrounded. They thought it was Du Shaoqing's trick, and they signed the contract to sell their bodies and did not let them go. They asked the county magistrate to encircle and suppress them, without leaving any way to survive. So the five bandits each found their weapons and rushed out from behind to chop Du Shaoqing.
