Chapter 180 Three lamps to protect the home and ensure safety!
Shen Zhiqiu and his men returned to the mountain stronghold and reported the truth, which temporarily dispelled the bandits' suspicions. Moreover, after discussing with the leaders, they were afraid that it was really a plague.
The bandits guarding the checkpoints were notified not to have any contact with the refugees down the mountain for the time being. Even if they wanted to "hand over" people, no one passing by would be allowed.
Shen Zhiqiu also expressed great relief:
"Fortunately, our Pueraria wine is almost ready. This wine can also be used for disinfection. When the time comes, we can all drink some. It can also be a precautionary measure and try to avoid getting sick."
He even thought in his heart that his daughter's idea was a great one. He was just worrying about what to do if a few bandit leaders were stingy and refused to give wine to everyone in the village.
By that time, the alcohol content will have been distilled to 60 or 70 degrees, and each person will have a bowl. He doesn't believe that the ancient people who had only drunk low-alcohol liquor could stay sober. If one bowl is not enough, then two bowls will be served.
Don't even mention the high alcohol content of the alcohol and how it might affect their health; that's really not something we're considering right now. If you want to blame someone, blame them for going up the mountain to become bandits.
Shen Zhiqiu worked hard for several more days, and the wine was finally distilled. Before that, he used the excuse that the newly distilled wine could not be drunk directly and had to be sealed for a few days, and did not let the three bandit leaders taste it, so that they could drink it together.
When he asked the bandits to move the jars of Kudzu wine to the yard, all the bandits in the mountain stronghold, except those on patrol and those guarding the checkpoints, arrived.
The three bandit leaders also had red faces and looked greedy.
In this chaotic world, food is so precious, and there is even less to make wine. Moreover, this clear and mellow distilled liquor has so many benefits when consumed, it is like nectar from heaven.
Even the bandit leaders had fantasized in their minds that as long as this kind of liquor could be brewed stably, they could resell it in the future, or exchange people or weapons with other villages. Sooner or later, they would be able to succeed!
As Shen Zhiqiu opened a jar of wine, a rich aroma wafted out, and the smell attracted all the bandits in the mountain village.
It can be said that except for a small number of bandit brothers, most of them gathered here, swallowing saliva constantly in their throats, obviously very greedy.
They sniffed their noses and inhaled deeply, while talking at once.
"Why is the wine here so fragrant?"
"My dog's gluttony has been aroused, Fourth Master, when will you let us have a taste?"
"That's right, what kind of treasure is this? Fourth Master, stop hiding it."
Shen Zhiqiu first called Shen Mazi and others, served three bowls, and gave one bowl each to the first, second and third in command.
At this time, the aroma of wine filled the entire village, and every bandit had a greedy look on his face.
The boss carefully took the wine bowl, took a deep breath, and looked at the slightly yellow Pueraria wine, and he couldn't wait.
"Fourth brother, let me try it first."
Didn't he see the power of the wine? This time he didn't let Shen Zhiqiu drink first, but couldn't wait to taste it himself. Now he even called his fourth brother, which was regarded as an acknowledgement of Shen Zhiqiu's identity as the fourth in command.
Shen Zhiqiu looked very proud and said, "Brother, this wine is very strong. It's better not to drink it in big gulps when you taste it."
Seeing that they were still hesitating, the Third Master picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp: "Sha, good wine!"
Seeing this, the first and second in command also drank it all. Then, the expressions of the three of them changed. Their faces turned red and they felt like there was fire burning in their stomachs.
"This wine is really strong and refreshing. This is the kind of wine a man should drink!"
Even the second in command was very fond of Shen Zhiqiu at this time and patted Shen Zhiqiu on the shoulder:
"Fourth brother, your wine is like the whole world. I believe we can make a lot of money!"
Shen Zhiqiu also picked up a bowl of wine and took a sip: "Brother, I thought of a name for this drink. Do you think it's suitable?"
The three heads were about to order another bowl when Shen Zhiqiu diverted their attention: "What's the name?"
Shen Zhiqiu said: "Let's call it Hero Wine!"
"Hero wine? Well, it's a good name, very appropriate. We are all heroes and we should drink hero wine, hahaha!" The boss nodded with satisfaction.
"Fourth brother, you are really good at naming. Third brother also thinks this name is bright."
The second in command also said that the name was very good, so let's call it this, a hero deserves strong liquor.
Seeing that they were all in high spirits, Shen Zhiqiu suggested: "Today, to celebrate the successful brewing of the first batch of our Hero Wine, let's drink as much as we can. First, to celebrate.
Secondly, I've been worried about the rashes on the refugees down the mountain, and I'm afraid they have the plague, so let's all drink some, as a precaution!"
The second in command hesitated for a moment and said, "Not all of them can drink. Some people must stay sober. Be careful not to get into trouble."
Shen Mazi quickly flattered him: "Second brother is still cautious, okay, then we will leave some brothers to drink less and stay sober."
The bandits who got the news immediately dispersed and urged the women in the kitchen to prepare meals quickly.
They couldn't wait any longer, and the women prepared cautiously, fearing to offend these old men, so the dishes were served very quickly.
During this time, Shen Zhiqiu arranged for people to place tables and chairs, or if all else failed, build tables with stones and wooden boards in preparation for the evening carnival.
For a moment, the whole village was as lively as a temple fair.
Shen Zhiqiu gave Shen Fugui a look, indicating that he could take action.
Shen Mazi nodded, brought a few jars of wine, and called the captain of the gate to a hidden place:
"Brother, I saw you on the first day. My second brother was thinking of you when he was drinking. It's cold in the mountains at night. You and the patrol brothers should drink a little to warm your body."
The little leader was touched, his eyes were red, he didn't expect that the other person still remembered him even though he was the fourth in command, mainly because of this wine, he had been coveting it for a long time,
He nodded repeatedly and said a lot of nice things. Shen Mazi then instructed: "The situation today is special, so let's light a few more lanterns in the village to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation."
The young leader was even more moved. This brother was so nice. Not only did he think of him with good wine, but he also helped him to keep track of patrols. It was so heartwarming. He even made up his mind that he would follow the fourth in command's lead in the future.
Shen Mazi even specially lit three lanterns and hung them at the entrance of the village, and nodded to say, "Three lanterns, to protect the house and keep it safe! Not bad, not bad!"
The little leader quickly flattered him, saying that Big Brother Shen knew more and there were so many explanations for lighting a lantern.
Because Shen Mazi used the name of his elder brother Shen Zhiqiu in the mountain village, the little leader always believed that he and Shen Zhiqiu were brothers.
The people at the foot of the mountain who were responsible for observing the situation on the mountain soon noticed the lights and hurried back to the cave.
Shen Youyou looked at the sky and knew that there was still some time, so she started to get everyone ready and prepare their luggage. When the time came, they would just tie up the bandits and leave.
Do things early. Have you ever seen TV dramas where villains are always procrastinating and are most likely to die because of their talkativeness?
