Seeing Du Zhongxiao coming, Wu Kejiu said, "The little official has been proud recently, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Du Zhongxiao suppressed his unhappiness and said lightly: "What's the matter with me? You might as well say it."

"We are in the same hometown, and we live in the capital with all kinds of unsatisfactory conditions. We should meet each other at any time to help make up for it-"

Du Zhongxiao impatiently interrupted Wu Kejiu: "What is happiness in the capital? There is nothing wrong with it."

Wu Kejiu coughed, very embarrassed.

Next to it was an open-air teahouse, and there were several tables of guests sitting in groups of three or three. Wu Kejiu saw Du Zhongxiao's face full of disgust and a fake smile on his face. He couldn't help but sit on the head. He didn't want to step on the feet of the guests at the table next to him. The man slapped the table and stared, "This guy has no eyes!"

Wu Kejiu apologized repeatedly and stood up again hurriedly.

Hearing the northwest accent of cursing, Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but turn his head to see it. He saw that there were five men, very tough, and they lived on a table to drink tea. The five of them were all short shirts, and they looked like businessmen with feet.

Rubbing his hands hard, Wu Kejiu hesitated for a long time before saying, "I heard that the little official is compiling a booklet on how to steam wine and is going to present it to the court. The little official, this is your life-spanning craft. If you present it, what should you do if the restaurant at home?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "The restaurant is naturally open, what can I do? The governor of the prefecture and the minister, Jun, ordered that Xuzhou only allows my house to steam wine. What does it matter if others will? I offer the method of steaming wine to the court, so naturally I steam wine in other states. What's the matter with my business! I just don't offer it, and this method will flow outside sooner or later. Can anyone stop it?"

"Yes, too." Wu Kejiu hesitated. "I can do this method of steaming wine. - A little official, I'll discuss with you when we are together in the same county? I'll give you some money at home, and you can sell the booklet to me, and don't give it to the court."

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's face full of sarcasm, Wu Kejiu sighed again: "To be honest, I have been steaming wine for others these days, and I have been taking care of several officials. If you present the booklet, you will lose this way. What should I do? The method of steaming wine is presented to the court, and the people are nothing more than rewarding your family with some money. It's just money, and the same is true for my family."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Wu Kejiu and after a while, he said, "Xiao Junwai, we are fellow villagers, so I will not speak ill of you. The method of steaming wine you know is to learn from my family. It would be fine if I don't pursue it, why do you still have to make ends meet? I won't mention the method of making wine. If I'm greedy for money, why should I hand over this method to the court! I have decided on this matter, don't bother me!"

Seeing Du Zhongxiao turn around and leave, Wu Kejiu hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed: "Some are discussing, some are discussing!"

Du Zhongxiao was furious and almost blurted out the word "get out". Finally, he thought about his fellow countrymen and many difficult things in the capital. He said heavily: "I will hand it over to the court and will not delay you from currying favor with officials. I bought my booklet and still wanted to monopolize this craft. I don't know what to do. Don't mention this matter in the future. There are many people who know about this matter. How can I stop doing it if I don't do it!"

After saying that, he suddenly shook Wu Kejiu away and went back with great strides.

Wu Kejiu stood there in a daze, kept spinning around, muttering, "What should I do? What should I do?"

These days, Wu Kejiu was steaming wine for others in the capital and met many princes and ministers. It was the time to be proud of his youth. Wu Kejiu was born in a wealthy countryside. Although everyone flattered him in Linying County, no one looked at him when he arrived in the capital. When he was in the countryside, it was a big deal to see the magistrate in the Wu family. He had to prepare for a long time and brag at home for a long time. Now even the minister of the priest has seen him, and even Wu Kejiu has kept several handwritten books. Returning to Linying County, this is enough to brag for a lifetime. The handwritten books of the priest, just relying on this thing, like the former county magistrate Shi, should be respectful to the Wu family. This time, the Wu family's status in the county will definitely be further improved.

At this time, I suddenly heard that Du Zhongxiao wanted to offer the method of steaming wine to the court. Wu Kejiu was so anxious that he was in a mess.

Du Zhongxiao went to Beijing to study for a Jinshi. His purpose was clear, and Wu Kejiu had no dates. With the opportunity to make contact with steamed wine, he grabbed it tightly and refused to let go, but he did not expect that Du Zhongxiao would be wiped out from the underworld.

At this moment, the man who had just been stepped on by Wu Kejiu suddenly said, "This little brother, sit down and talk."

Wu Kejiu was in a state of dismay. He glanced at the man and couldn't help but sit down.

The man pointed to Du Zhongxiao who was sitting down at the tavern table and said, "Little brother is familiar with that person?"

Wu Kejiu nodded: "That man was familiar with me and went to the capital together to engage in activities. But his family and my family had some misunderstandings, and they couldn't explain clearly for a while, and they didn't speak for speculation, so they were troubled."

The man nodded and pointed at himself and said, "We are sheep sellers from the northwest. The sheep only took action and had a fun in the capital. I just heard you quarrel there and talk about steaming wine, but are the spirits steamed from the lees?"

Wu Kejiu was stunned and said vigilantly: "What are you asking about this?"

The man smiled and said, "The northwest is a bitter and cold place. People there like to drink the most. The land is barren and the people are poor, and there is no good wine. The birds can come out of the mouth. A few days ago, we met a person from the capital. When we drank strong wine, they said that it was steamed from the lees. They were very strong, and they were like nectar and jade. They said it was a pity that they left the capital and could not drink such good wine again. I didn't expect that the little brother would steam it."

Wu Kejiu looked at the few people and did not speak, thinking that the war was in the northwest. In the past two years, the capital city strictly investigated the Dangxiang spies, but who dared to interact with people from the northwest? Besides, the capital city has investigated extremely strictly about wine, so it is impossible to even sell wine, let alone sell it to people from the northwest.

Seeing Wu Kejiu's face full of vigilance, a few men laughed and said, "Young brother is a warning, but don't worry, we are all serious guests, not evil people. Since you can steam wine, you will not treat you badly when you invite us to drink it. The good wine steamed from the lees is hard to buy in the capital, which is a worrying person."

Wu Kejiu thought for a while and nodded: "This is OK. But, what are the benefits you have to give me?"

The man smiled and said, "There are no other things, we still have some money. Don't worry, little brother, you will thank you again afterwards."

Wu Kejiu nodded and agreed, pointing to a hotel not far away and said, "I live in that inn. I'll come to see me in two days. It's not difficult to steam wine for the city officials these days. It's not difficult to get a few bottles of wine. I just agreed first that the wine cannot be sold, and I can't take it out of the city."

"I know, I know! Check the city gate carefully, who dares to bring wine out of the city! I don't worry, my little brother, we have been obedient for a long time and will never do anything illegal or illegal. But I am greedy and hope to achieve success."
