The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary

Chapter 190 How about sleeping on the floor?

As the sun was setting, the guards ahead came to report. "Report! Fifth Master, three miles ahead is the intersection of Jincheng, Jingcheng, and Tiancheng. Which city should we enter first?"

"Go to Jingcheng first, take two people to book an inn, and then come back to pick us up." Hua Heng ordered.

"Yes!" After receiving the new mission, the three riders left in a cloud of dust. The convoy continued to move at the original speed.

When Yanan heard the noise, she opened the car window and looked out curiously. "Are we about to enter another city's territory?"

"Not yet, there are still a few miles to go, and it won't be long. Once we enter Jingcheng, we can eat the local specialties." Nanchen looked at her with amusement, as she was curious about everything. Ahem... Yanan was a little embarrassed by what he said. She was really just curious about what the scenery was like in this era. Along the way, there were either mountains and rivers, or villages and countryside. Now she was just looking forward to the new scenery.

"What is Jingcheng's famous specialty?" Yanan was just chatting to kill time. To be honest, she was tired of staying in the car for the whole afternoon and wanted to change the way she did things.

"Wine, brewed with pure grains, stored for a long time, mellow and sweet, clear and refreshing, with a long aftertaste..." When men talk about wine, they keep throwing out groups of four-character phrases one after another. You can imagine how much they love wine.

"Do you love wine so much? I never see you drinking on weekdays?" Yanan was very surprised. She didn't believe that a wine lover could resist drinking!

"Madam, are you stupid? Grain is so precious, how can we use it in large quantities to make wine? There is a fixed quota for making wine, especially the wine for sale is strictly controlled. Do you think anyone can sell it?!" Nanchen explained with a smile.

"Oh, I understand what you said. The main reason is that the grain output is not high and cannot meet the people's food and clothing needs. Therefore, the wine brewed from pure grains is controlled! However, if we can find a substitute for the grain for brewing wine, can we brew it?" Yanan expressed her understanding. As far as she knew, there were still many types of grains that could be used for brewing wine, and some were very high-yielding. She didn't know if they were grown here. She became interested and decided that she would pay attention to the situation in this regard. Wine, you can get rich if you are not careful!

"Of course you can brew it. All you need is the brewing technology. But there are restrictions on selling it. You need to report and obtain the qualification to apply for a liquor license!" As soon as Nanchen saw her eyes shining, he knew that she must have discovered some big business opportunity or was thinking about something great.

"Husband, you have to work hard to get promoted so that I can lean on a big tree for shade. Wine is my plan to get rich, and I can purify wine and make purer alcohol. This stuff is so useful. It can disinfect and kill bacteria. Well, it is especially helpful in preventing wound infection and suppuration..." Yanan was so excited that she talked incessantly and forgot to lower her voice. Hua Heng could hear it clearly in front of the car.

"So, now we can brew wine by finding one or several types of substitutes for brewing grains?" Nanchen asked.

"Of course, it's absolutely true, but let's find a replacement first. I'm not in a hurry!" In order to emphasize that she could remain calm, Yanan deliberately said that she was not in a hurry.

"Haha, don't be anxious, my lady. I know it, but I can see from your face that you are determined to compete with the fourth brother for the position of the richest man!" Nanchen was amused by her again.

"To be honest, I really have the determination. Awen's business model is too basic, and his sales service is also very basic. If it were me, humph, I could probably beat him by eight blocks." Yanan boasted confidently, not at all worried that Shen Wen would hear him, because he was in the carriage behind!

"My woman is really ambitious!" Nanchen praised himself and the woman a lot. In order to prevent her from continuing to brag and making Shen Wen sad if he heard her, he tried his best to perform.

"..." Yanan was speechless. She was underestimated! It doesn't matter. She will prove that she is not bragging.

Common liquor brewing raw materials: "qu is the bone of liquor, grain is the meat of liquor", "qu is the mother of liquor, grain is the father of liquor", there has always been such a saying. The quality of the "grain", the raw material for liquor brewing, determines the quality of liquor to a certain extent.

Any raw material containing starch and sugar can be used to brew liquor, but the flavors of liquor brewed from different raw materials are different. Liquor brewing professionals say, "Sorghum produces fragrant liquor, corn produces sweet liquor, barley produces strong liquor, rice produces pure liquor, and wheat produces rough liquor."

Among them, sorghum, corn and rice are the main raw materials for brewing. Barley and wheat are mostly used for making koji. Barley and wheat are usually not used for brewing wine alone, but are often used in combination with other grains for brewing wine.

However, according to the historical saying that corn originated from Central and South America, it is probably useless to put it here. In Yanan's memory, sweet potatoes and potatoes also originated from South America. Oh, a lot of source materials are missing! It seems that we have to start with the existing types of grains. If we can make white wine, we can make more types of fruit wine.

Time passed by in their idle chatter. While Yanan was still thinking hard, the carriage stopped. Yanan came to his senses and asked, "Are we there yet?"

"Put on your coat first, comb your hair, and wait for someone to come and pick you up." After Nanchen said this, he got out of the car first, looked at the surrounding environment, and then looked at everyone's condition.

"Second brother, let's wait here for a while. They have already gone to find an inn. Let's all stop and take a rest while waiting for someone to come and pick us up!" Hua Heng stood beside the carriage holding the horse. He did not forget that his wife was in the carriage, so he could not loosen the reins for fear that the horse would be frightened and in danger.

Yanan also dressed herself up quickly and wrapped herself up tightly. She needed to get out of the car and walk around for a while to relieve herself. "Achen, go somewhere with me!"

"Uh, where are you going?" Nanchen couldn't think of where she was going.

"People have three urgent matters!" Yanan hurriedly pulled everyone and ran towards the small hill beside the road. When they were three meters away from the road, Nanchen grabbed her and asked her to solve it behind a small bush.

"We can't go any further. It's starting to get dark and the woods inside are dense. It's not safe. Let's stay here. Your husband will use my cloak to block the air for you." Nanchen spread out his cloak and looked at her and said.

"Hey, why don't you turn around!" Yanan muttered. Who can be so relaxed and take a shit or pee while being stared at?

Nanchen turned around and pulled his cloak back to cover his back, his attention focused on the movement a few feet away. After a while, Yanan stood up behind him, and he relaxed his vigilance, and then the two of them returned to the carriage together.

"Hasn't anyone returned yet?" Nanchen frowned. At this time, it should be enough to find the nearest place to stay. He looked at the sky again. It would be dark in half an hour at most.

The guards were alertly observing the surroundings and looking at the three-way intersection ahead. "Second Master, how about we send someone to pick them up?"

"Be patient. I know their abilities. They were probably delayed by something! Let's wait a little longer. Everyone just need to be alert." Shen Wen also got off the carriage at this time. After saying something, he walked towards his wife.

"Anan, don't worry. The three people we sent out are the smartest ones in the Shen family. Most dangers can't stop them!" Shen Wen came over personally to comfort his wife.

"Well, isn't that dangerous?" Yanan could still confront him with ease, which showed that she was not nervous. Men gave her a sense of security. What was there to be afraid of? Whoever confronted them would suffer!

"It's not just dangerous, it's the kind that means everyone is doomed! Except for being able to fly," Shen Wen explained seriously.

"……"Except for the birdman, okay, okay, your bodyguard is very capable, I was worrying too much.

"Tap, tap, tap..." The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance, and everyone held their weapons at their waists alertly. Only when they finally saw who was coming did they relax.

"Report! Fourth Young Master, the house has been rented. I'm back to lead the way." The guard came to Shen Wen, dismounted and reported.

"Get up. Why did you take so long? What happened?" Shen Wen asked.

"Sir, when we passed through here, there were no inns along the way, only a few small villages scattered around. We ran for a long time before we rented a house in a place similar to a market place, which was just big enough for our group and our carriages to stay overnight." The guard explained to everyone.

"Okay, lead the way! Let's form a team and set off! We should try to arrive before it gets completely dark!" Shen Wen ordered.

"Keep alert, be alert to the surrounding situation, and don't panic if you see anything unusual!" Nanchen said finally.

A team of carriages and horses went into the twilight, and finally arrived at a small market in Jingcheng. They stayed overnight in a private house, which was a large courtyard. Only two rooms had beds, and the rest were empty, which was simple.

As for fetching water, boiling water and cooking, they had to do everything themselves. They could eat meat, vegetables and soup, all thanks to a caring housekeeper Shen who packed a lot of travel supplies for them in advance and even filled a few pots for them, fearing that they would sleep outdoors on the mountain.

After dinner, Yanan hastily tidied herself up and lay on the hard bed covered with bedding, lamenting that traveling was not easy. Her three husbands shared a room with her, but the bed was not big and it creaked when they turned over. How could they share the bed? One more person might even make it crippled. "Husbands, why don't we sleep in the carriage? There's not enough room for all of us here," Yanan said tentatively.

"You sleep on the bed and we'll sleep on the floor." Nanchen smiled and comforted her.

"How can this be done? How about putting the cushions from the two carriages on the ground and putting them together?" Yanan couldn't bear to sleep on the bed and let her husband sleep on the floor, and the mud floor was so cold.

"Haha, good idea! Let's do it!" Shen Wen and Hua Heng went out to remove the mat.

Nanchen sat down beside Yanan's bed, causing a creaking sound. Both of them were startled, and then burst into laughter. This bed would play music, so it was not suitable for sleeping. "My wife, you should sleep with me! I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable and unable to sleep if you keep playing music here at night."

"Okay, thank you husband for thinking about me!" Yanan simply got out of bed. She put away the quilt first, and waited for Shen Wen and the others to lay the mat before putting the quilt on top. This way, she could save a quilt and ensure that everyone had a quilt to cover themselves, so they wouldn't be afraid of the cold.

Soon, the family of four slept neatly on the floor, each wrapped in a quilt like a giant silkworm. The room was silent except for the sound of everyone's breathing. "Wife, do you want to sleep in the same quilt with me?" Hua Heng whispered to Yanan.

"..." The others looked at him, as if they couldn't expect him to be so shameless.

"That's not good. This room is too simple and not soundproof." Yanan curled up in his quilt and refused.

"..." Now it was the three men's turn to look at her speechlessly. How could she say such a thing without soundproofing?! But thinking about it, he laughed secretly again. This showed that the lady had completely accepted the three of them, which was why she could speak so freely in front of them.

"Everyone, have a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, Lao Wu will accompany your wife in the carriage, and I will drive." In the end, it was Nanchen who broke the deadlock. He made the final decision.

"..." Yanan was sobbing in her heart. Who was it that always made her think in the wrong way? Never mind. It was fate. She wouldn't worry about it anymore.
