Chapter 69 Strong liquor is born, the west wind is strong

If this is not a waste of time, what is it?

"General Sheng, what kind of wine do you want to drink? I'll buy it for you. Can you train your troops well?"

"We need you to guard the entire Hexi County, the northwest gate of the Wei Dynasty."

"The lives of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people in Hexi County are in your hands. Can you be serious, my general?"

Looking at the county magistrate Chen who was like Tang Monk chanting sutras, Sheng Huaian knew why Sun Wukong had a headache.

Sheng Huaian said seriously: "I am serious!"

"You you you..."

County magistrate Chen was angry and left by Sheng Huaian. He could not control him and would not listen to him.

Sheng Huaian was a sixth-rank general guarding the border. He formed his own army. No one could control him except the Ministry of War and generals above the third rank.

Leading 5,000 soldiers, a large winery was built in a few days.

And Wang Wu did not fail in his mission and brought back more than a dozen winemaking masters.

"I have completed the task you gave me. Don't forget your promise." Wang Wu said in a dusty manner.

He was born to work hard.

"I know, I won't forget it."

Sheng Huaian nodded perfunctorily, his eyes fell on the dozen or so winemakers dressed as old farmers.

"General!"

The dozen or so winemakers bowed and saluted.

Facing Sheng Huaian, these ordinary old farmers were very reserved. This was a great general, and his status was noble to them.

"Masters, you don't have to be polite. You all know how to make wine." Sheng Huaian smiled.

"General, we only know some simple winemaking techniques. We make some crude wine for our family." A winemaker quickly replied.

They are all in the village, and they make some wine for themselves or buy it. They are not as good as the big winery.

"It's okay, just know how to make wine." Sheng Huaian nodded.

As long as you know how to make wine, it's fine. Anyway, the high-strength liquor in the future is purified, so you only need to know the purification technology.

The wine brewer has come and now needs to find workers. Sheng Huaian has also selected workers. The four or five hundred women he brought back are very good workers. If they have jobs and make money by themselves, they will not have wild thoughts and think about committing suicide.

Sheng Huaian immediately went to the west of the city again.

"General!"

"General!"

As soon as Sheng Huaian came, the women came up to greet him. In a new environment, these women also had more smiles on their faces, no longer numb and full of dead air.

"How is it, are you doing well?" Sheng Huaian said with a smile.

"Sisters are doing well." Xia He, who was in her early thirties and had some charm, smiled and nodded.

"That's good."

"I came here to ask you if you are willing to work in the winery and make money by yourself?" Sheng Huaian said.

When the women heard this, their eyes instantly became bright. Although they wanted to live, they didn't want to be kept like this and couldn't find their own value.

"Really? General, are you telling the truth?" The girl named Xiaocao asked happily.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Sheng Huaian said with a smile.

"Yes, we are willing, General. No matter how hard or tired we are, we are willing." Xia He cried with joy.

Being able to live on their own is their greatest wish.

With these four or five hundred women, there is no need to find laborers. Sheng Huaian took them and moved to the winery.

When the winery was built, it had a residence, which was not a problem for these women to live in.

There were workers, winemakers, food, and winemaking utensils to make, but Sheng Huaian bought a set directly.

Then he threw the army to Guo Xiaoping, Hu Bing and others, and asked them to train the army. Sheng Huaian plunged into the winery and started to study winemaking with a group of people.

During this period, County Magistrate Chen also came to Sheng Huaian, but Sheng Huaian devoted himself to winemaking and ignored County Magistrate Chen.

After ten days, happy shouts came from the winery.

"General, we succeeded, we succeeded."

"Hahaha, we finally succeeded."

"Great, we finally succeeded."

The winemakers, the female workers, and the soldiers who followed Sheng Huaian to participate in the winemaking, all cheered.

Especially the girls who were rescued, they hugged each other, cried with joy, and celebrated the success of this moment. They proved and realized their own value.

Sheng Huaian smelled the aroma of the wine and tasted it. It was spicy, strong, warm, and sweet in the end.

"We succeeded!" Sheng Huaian also said happily to everyone.

After working hard for half a month, repeated attempts day and night, they finally brewed this strong wine.

"General, give this wine a name!" Winemaker Du Fei smiled.

"Let's call it Xifang Lie. The northwest wind is very strong and cold. This wine is strong and warm." Sheng Huaian said.

"Yes, Xifenglie, a good name."

"From now on, hurry up and make wine. As soon as our wine is launched, it will attract countless merchants." Sheng Huaian said.

"Master Du, Miss Xia He, you will have a hard time in the future."

"General, please forgive us. This is what we should do. The general has provided a safe place for us poor women to live. We should repay the general's kindness." Xia He said.

"That's right, this is what we should do." The girls nodded.

The leading winemaker Du Fei was also full of sympathy after learning about the experience of these women. These women were no worse than men at work, and they also won the respect of these winemakers.

After Xifeng Lie came out, the only thing left was to start mass production.

Sheng Huaian also directly arranged two hundred soldiers to guard the winery and ensure the safety of the winery.

The families of winemakers such as Du Fei were also taken to the city to settle down.

Sheng Huaian arranged everything. The only thing left was to wait for the wine to be produced in batches, then to become famous and start selling.

After completing the winemaking task, Sheng Huaian was physically and mentally happy, and the goose that lays golden eggs was about to lay eggs.

"You are laughing so happily, what's the good news?" County Magistrate Chen came to the winery and saw Sheng Huaian's sunny smile, and couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, Lao Chen, I succeeded!" Sheng Huaian laughed.

"Succeeded? What did you succeed? You became a master?" County Magistrate Chen asked three question marks in a row.

"My wine was successful." Sheng Huaian rolled his eyes.

"Really?"

"Fake."

"Let me taste it." County Magistrate Chen said expectantly.

He wanted to see if the wine brewed by Sheng Huaian was good or bad.

If it was bad, he would make Sheng Huaian laugh to death.

Sheng Huaian opened the wine jar, and instantly a strong aroma of wine came to his face.

"What a good smell!" County Magistrate Chen's eyes lit up, the wine smelled really good.

After pouring out a spoonful, County Magistrate Chen couldn't wait to grab it and drink it all in one gulp.

"Ah..."

"Good wine, so strong, spicy, stimulating, very warm, and sweet aftertaste."

"Good wine, peerless good wine." County Magistrate Chen swore that even the imperial wine in the palace was not as good as this wine.

Then, before Sheng Huaian could stop him, County Magistrate Chen poured another spoonful and drank it all.

"Hey, drink less, this wine is easy to get drunk." Sheng Huaian said quickly.

This is at least 56% alcohol. If he keeps drinking like this, County Magistrate Chen will be drunk in no time.

"What are you afraid of? I can drink a lot. You don't want to give it to me?" County Magistrate Chen drank such delicious wine for the first time, and he couldn't help wanting to drink more.

"Drink it, drink it, let me see how much you can drink." Sheng Huaian stopped persuading him.

Some people can't be persuaded.

After the fifth spoonful, County Magistrate Chen felt a little dizzy.

"General Sheng, how can you still use the clone technique?" County Magistrate Chen said, shaking.

Sheng Huaian looked at County Magistrate Chen speechlessly. This guy's feet had begun to lose control, and he began to stagger.

He is not a ninja, and he can also use the shadow clone.

"General, what is the county magistrate doing?" Xia He looked at County Magistrate Chen doing the spacewalk and couldn't help but worry.

"It's okay, I drank too much."

As soon as Sheng Huaian finished speaking, County Magistrate Chen staggered to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Hey, let's see if you're going to say I'm stingy. Get up and continue drinking, little bastard." Sheng Huaian couldn't help laughing.
