In the end, they finished all the skewers they had prepared and drank a large bucket of cold beer.
Cheng Yaojin and the others, who had an amazing alcohol tolerance, basically drank no less than five pounds each. However, other than peeing a little more, they were actually fine.
Of course, because he was used to drinking Maotai with a alcohol content of 50%, he would not feel much after drinking beer with a lower alcohol content.
In addition, there were delicious dishes to taste with wine. After eating for an hour, the alcohol was digested.
After eating and drinking their fill, Li Er and the others sat on the chairs and felt very comfortable in the cool breeze.
"This Hu chair is also very wonderful."
Cheng Yaojin asked curiously. After getting used to kneeling, he found that his legs were stretched out, relaxed and at ease.
In the era of the Tang Empire, there were no chairs. No matter what time it was, one would kneel down. Japan had also inherited the Tang Empire's habit of kneeling down to this day.
"Indeed. When we return, I'll get the craftsmen to make a few sets for backup.”Li Er nodded. It would be good to use it as a dining table or for writing.
He had been to Lu Village several times, but he had always been attracted by the delicious food. If Cheng Yaojin hadn't reminded him, Li Er might have forgotten about it today.
"Hehe, then I'll have to take a closer look, lest I tell the craftsmen when I go back and they won't know how to make it.”Cheng Yaojin agreed.
Since he had already eaten dinner, Cheng Yaojin was not in a hurry to go back.
Today, he planned to bring the wine back directly. Therefore, he brought twenty large wooden barrels for the wine.
He calculated a few times at home and found that a wooden bucket could hold about 50 catties of water.
The 20 wooden barrels he brought could transport 1,000 catties at a time. 200,000 catties of wine seemed like a lot, but it only needed to be transported 20 times.
Fortunately, Anping County was not far from Chang 'an. It would take about six hours to travel a dozen miles back and forth. It would only take a few days to transport all of them back.
However, Cheng Yaojin didn't want to be so fast. He had to come a few more times to have more chances to freeload.
"Little friend Lu, how's the counting of the coins? Is the 50,000 strings of coins short? If there was anything missing, tell him to make up for it. Also, it's almost dark. Have you prepared 200,000 catties of Maotai? He might have promised someone else to bring the Maotai back and distribute it today.”Li Yuan reminded.
"I'm not in a hurry.”Cheng Yaojin said.
"Yes, it's basically enough. Old Brother Cheng, I'll prepare the Maotai for you first. Get someone to fill the wooden bucket with water. It won't take long for it to be arranged for you.”
In fact, Lu Xiu's original plan was to take out 200,000 catties of Maotai at once after the swimming pool was repaired and place it in the repaired swimming pool in advance.
In this way, there was no need to specially find a container to fill it up. He could temporarily turn the pool into a wine pool.
Cheng Yaojin could come to fetch wine whenever he wanted. He didn't have to trouble him every time.
However, if he wanted to lay all the marble slabs in the big pit, he estimated that he would need to complete it tomorrow.
If they dug a canal to draw the Wei River five miles away from Anping County, it would probably take another four to five days.
As for the building of Lu Manor, although they had hired dozens of craftsmen and the help of thousands of farmers, it should have been completed very quickly. Unfortunately, Lu Xiu was pointing fingers at them from the side.
All of Lu Zhuang's design plans had to be done according to Lu Xiu's instructions, which was why the process was very slow.
Otherwise, with the labor of thousands of people, it would not take long to build a palace.
It was Lu Xiu's fault for thinking about the renovations he had designed. He wanted to enjoy a modern living environment in the Tang Empire and let his wife live more comfortably.
Fortunately, he had recruited enough people. According to his calculations, he could complete the initial stage in about fifteen days. However, Lu Xiu planned to do it two days before the wedding.
"Did you hear what Little Brother Lu said? Hurry up and fill all the wooden buckets with water.”Cheng Yaojin called out to his dozens of subordinates.
"Yes."
The twenty wooden barrels were quickly unloaded from the carriage and moved to a well.
After filling it with water, Lu Xiu turned all the water into Moutai.
"It smells so good."
The rich fragrance of wine spread out, making Cheng Yaojin's subordinates unable to stop.
Originally, they had watched Lu Xiu and the others eat the fragrant skewers and drink the cold beer. The cravings in their stomachs had been triggered.
Besides, who in the army didn't like to drink?
If Cheng Yaojin wasn't there, they would probably have drunk a bucket of water.
"It's a pity that 20 barrels can only produce a total of 2,000 catties. I reckon that I'll have to trouble Little Brother Lu for more than ten days.”Cheng Yaojin laughed.
"It takes ten days to transport two hundred thousand catties of wine? It was only a dozen miles from Anping County to Chang 'an. They should be able to transport two or three trips a day.”Li Yuan, who seemed to have seen through Cheng Yaojin's intentions, said lightly.
"Hehe, because there are many carriages blocking the road, it takes a lot of time. Once a day is about enough.”Cheng Yaojin replied.
"Yes, the construction of the Lu estate requires a large amount of materials. The road is a little congested.”Li Er nodded. When he came this morning, he was also blocked for quite a while.
"It's okay. You can come and get it anytime.”Lu Xiu said.
