  In an unexpected turn of events, Cao Shen and Tang Li engaged in a confrontation.

  Each quoted classics to expound their own views. Tang Le cited phrases from "Shu - Shun Dian" and "Zhou Li - Da Shi", while Cao Can cited the saying from "Lu Yu". In this Pei County city, there are not many people with knowledge. Tang Le counts as one, Cao Can counts as one, and then there is Xiao He... Anyway, counting on fingers, it's basically clear.

  But these people also have different schools of thought.

  For example, Tang Le was deeply influenced by the three schools of thought of Bing, Ru and Zongheng. His grandfather, Tang Yi, was originally a famous horizontalist in the early days of Qin Wang Zheng.

  Cao Can was from a grassroots background.

  It's hard to say what school of thought it is, but born in Pei County and influenced by the Chu people, Cao Can and Xiao He both leaned towards Huang-Lao academic thought. Huang-Lao sought to govern through non-action, and Liu Ke's poem also conveys a carefree spirit.

  As a result, Cao Shen naturally leaned towards Liu Quan somewhat.

  The two men unfolded their debate, citing classics and quoting authorities... Liu Kan and Ren Ao stood by, unable to intervene or leave.

  They exchanged a glance and couldn't help but let out a sorrowful sigh in unison.

  Liu Kan also regretted it!

  What's wrong with you, reciting poetry? Are you stupid? Are you illiterate? Listening to these two people talk is enough to make one feel ashamed to death and uncomfortable to death.

  "I'm telling you two, this wine has gone cold!"

  Ren Ao cautiously advised them on the side, but unexpectedly Tang Lie and Cao Can became furious, glaring at Ren Ao: "Shut up!"

  Scared, Ren Ao shrunk to the side and didn't dare speak again.

  Liu Kan patted Ren Ao and sighed, "Old Ren, you know the pain of not reading books and not recognizing characters... However, two sages, I and Old Ren are just rough men, what you said, we don't quite understand, can we change the subject? For example..."

  The words "for example" had just left his mouth when he heard the door creak open again.

  A cold draft swept into the gatehouse, and Liu Quan involuntarily shrank his head and shivered. When he looked up, it was Shi Zuhe and Cao Wushang.

  These two people are now very busy and haven't seen each other for days.

  On the one hand, Liu Qianjiao moved into a new house and needed to build houses and take care of food. At the same time, he and Liu Qian's big things also started to work, basically without time. What about Cao Wushang? Also very busy... Liu Qian spent 8,000 taels of silver to exchange for ten acres of wasteland.

  According to the Qin law of land, common people can buy and sell private land.

  Pei County is not short of fertile land, and a good field costs around 3,000 to 8,000 Qin coins. According to Cao Wushang's idea, spending more than 10,000 Qin coins to buy two or three fields would be about right. But who knew that Liu Kan would stubbornly disagree and insist on the barren land by the muddy pond.

  Madam Kong would never back down on matters of great importance or principle.

  But for small things, he has already started listening to Liu Jian's opinions... Ah, if it weren't for his son being foolish, how would he have so much money in his hands? The wasteland is just a wasteland, but who knows, maybe this time his son's foolishness will bring about something new. This is called "fools have good fortune".

  Ren You also didn't understand Liu Quan's idea, and even in Pei County, 90% of the people didn't understand.

  But the money was Liu's, and since he had made up his mind to buy the wasteland, who would care? Anyway, a large crowd of people were waiting on the sidelines to watch the show.

  Cao Wushang's old man personally handled the formalities and sold ten hectares of wasteland by the muddy pond to Liu Kan at a low price.

  Then Cao Wu Shang's affairs came. From the autumn harvest, he began to dig black mud from the muddy field and cover it on the barren land. Ten hectares of barren land were enough for him to be busy for a while. Then he had to help Mrs. Kan buy cattle, and even made a special trip to Pengcheng to buy back two strong cows.

  It was also for this reason that Cao Wushang did not visit Liu Yan after he was punished.

  "Ah Qiang, we did it! We succeeded!"

  As soon as he entered the house, he excitedly shouted and rushed over to hug Liu Guang, with a momentum that seemed to want to knock him down.

  "Let go, let me go!"

  Liu Qian's arms suddenly parted to the sides, forcibly breaking apart Shi Shi's arm. "Second Brother, what succeeded? I don't have a Dragon Yang obsession."

  Long Yang, also known as the Wei State's Long Yang Jun, was born with a beautiful face and figure. He was also the male concubine of the King of Wei and is recorded in history as the first homosexual. When Liu Gong saw Shi Zhi's behavior, he found it similar to that of Long Yang Jun, and his heart felt a chill.

  He pushed Liu Jian away with one hand, "I like women!"

  As he spoke, he beckoned Cao Wushang with a wave of his hand. Cao Wushang was indeed an honest man, and from outside the door, he carried in a jar of wine.

  "What is this?"

  "Ah Jian, that method you mentioned is indeed effective... look, it's a success! I used the method you told me and successfully brewed it!"

  Cao Wushang carried the wine jar onto the couch and lifted his hand to knock open the mud seal.

  A strong aroma of wine suddenly filled the room. Tang Lie and Cao Can also stopped arguing, Ren Ao's eyes lit up in an instant.

  "Suishui Huadiao, this is what you call Suishui Huadiao!"

  "You actually succeeded?"

  Liu Kuang stepped forward quickly to check the color of the wine in the urn. A moment later, he nodded slightly and a bright smile appeared on his face.

  Suishui Huajiao is actually the prototype of Huangjiu in later generations.

  Actually, Huangjiu is not absent in this era. As early as the Spring and Autumn period, Huangjiu had already appeared. The Ang Qi Xi wine that Tang Li and others drank was also a type of Huangjiu. It's just that due to reasons such as brewing techniques, the color of the wine was turbid and had a strong acidity.

  Liu Quan's past life was a nutritionist, and his research on wine was naturally not lacking. Wine, excessive drinking is harmful to the body, but moderate drinking not only does no harm, but also helps to nourish one's health. Huangjiu, as a kind of health wine, Liu Quan had visited many wineries in his past life. Later, he still bought back a secret recipe that was said to have been lost at a high price from a peasant household in Shaoxing.

  Nine-turning fermentation method, a very traditional craftsmanship.

  Historically, it was with the emergence of the nine brewing method that truly cloudy wine was produced. All subsequent techniques were improvements on the nine brewing method. By the time of Liu Quan's descendants, many details had been lost in transmission.

  According to ancient records, the nine-turning brewing method emerged at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and matured in the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty.

  That is to say, this pot of Liu Quan's Huadiao wine appeared at least 400 years earlier than the first pot of Huadiao wine in history.

  The wine color is slightly turbid, probably because it's the first time brewing, and the sedimentation fermentation time is not enough, so it's not perfect. However, compared to the ordinary wines on the market, this wine is clear and refreshing, with a fragrance that delights people. The people around couldn't help but move their chopsticks quickly, all looking at Liu Quan together.

  The first pot of Huadiao wine!

  Liu Kan ignored everyone's gaze and hastily asked about the brewing process of this wine.

  Shan Shi smiled and said, "I originally found a clear spring in the green bamboo forest and was going to start there. But later, next to the muddy swamp... which is behind your house, I discovered another spring, even sweeter and more fragrant than the one in the green bamboo forest. So, I spent 40,000 yuan and bought 50 mu of barren land adjacent to your family's land. Hehe, that spring is also among them."

  Fifty hectares of wasteland?

  Liu Kan's eyes widened, "A Qi, have you gone mad?"

  "I'm not crazy, or else others would have seen the mystery in it. Now, the spring water is ours, the secret formula is ours... Haha, Ah Kan, we can't help but prosper now, it's hard to hold back. Hurry up and say, what are your plans next?"

  Liu Kan turned his head and looked at a group of people who were staring blankly.

  Suddenly he smiled and said: "Next, of course, is to invite all the seniors to taste this Suishui Huadiao for me?"
