Wild grapes are also called sour vines, mountain grapes, essential vines, pubescent branches, and the berries produced are nearly spherical or kidney-shaped, and the color is still green to blue-black, which is more cold-tolerant. In Rongxia's original era, everyone on the market generally ate grafted grapes, which were sweeter in size and juice. Compared to this grape, the wild grape has more of an astringent and sour taste. It may not be delicious to eat, but if it is made into wild wine, it can be regarded as a unique flavor.

Rong Xia followed Sister-in-law Liu and the others all the way up the mountain, and it didn't take long to see the clumps of wild grape vines. Everyone scattered and seized the time to pick up. Grapes are different from the hard fruits, which fall down crackling when the tree is shaken, and people only need to pick them up under the tree. To pick wild grapes, you have to pick them one by one, and when you encounter a high altitude, you will inevitably pick stones, climb trees, or something.

Rong Xia wore a pair of thin silk gloves and two gold and silver flowers, and picked them quickly.

"This kind of slightly cyan and hard to the touch!" she gave an example in advance, and the two of them were used to doing their work, and they were particularly quick to pick grapes at this time.

Everyone was busy picking for a morning, and the last genus, Rong Xia, picked the most, with two big bamboo baskets.

"Rong Niangzi, you pick so much, but after eating, this thing will rot in a few days!"

"If you can't finish eating, you can make wine!" Rong Xia said with a smile. When everyone heard this, they immediately became curious, at this time, if everyone drinks alcohol, they generally drink that kind of grain wine, and fruit wine or something is rare. Not to mention, there are only some country women here, and they have never heard of it.

Rong Xia didn't mean to hide it, and immediately shared with you the method of making wine.

She was talking about the simple home-cooked brewing method, the procedure is very simple, and even ordinary people can do it. If this is not the case, all the women understood the feasibility of this recipe when they heard it.

"That's good! That dead ghost in my family likes to drink the most, so I'll pick up some more grapes later, and go back to make more wine according to Mrs. Rong's method, maybe I can save money on wine this year!" said a middle-aged woman in a loud voice.

Everyone was very happy when they heard this.

"In addition to grapes, such as wild persimmons, plums, cherries, etc., can be used to make wine according to this recipe, and the taste is very good!" Rong Xia said with a smile. She had just seen a persimmon tree, and she had already picked a small half basket, and planned to go back and use the urn to freeze the persimmons and eat them.

The atmosphere of everyone talking and laughing is really very pleasant, the villagers are not highly educated, but most of the quality is still simple, at this time, I saw Rong Xia Qian Xiaoyanyan, very approachable, and I couldn't help but have a lot of closeness to it in my heart. And Rong Xia Tong Guò's wild grape picking activity can be regarded as a successful entry into the social circle of local women.

When I came back from the mountain, it was already noon.

Rong Xia was very happy today, and he didn't feel tired, so he went to the kitchen to make lo mein, which was boiled and cooked beef, put peanuts, coriander, garlic juice and other things, not to mention the fragrant chewy. After eating, Rong Xia and Jinhua Yinhua took a small bench and sat in the yard and began to process the wild grapes picked today. Rong Xia specially left some rattan with roots, planning to plant them in the backyard, and water them with spiritual well water every day, and they don't need to bear fruit, they only need to grow tender strips, and then they are chopped up and fed to pigs and chickens.

Time passes, and autumn is stronger. There was a hailstorm the day before yesterday for no apparent reason, and the temperature seemed to be cold in an instant. The county government had already sent charcoal and winter fur, but Pei Jinzhi seemed to be still busy with official business, and there was no one in sight in Zhenri, Rong Xia knew that he had the heart to make some achievements, but he just felt sorry for his hard work.

"Here are some of my new flowers, including honeysuckle, mint, yellow branches, etc., which can calm the mind. Rong Xia stuffed a few exquisitely made purses to He An, and pointed to one or two packages next to him and said: "Here is a newly made clothes, shoes and other things, and the other is a food box, which contains a good seasoning block, as well as air-dried sausage and meat liver, oh, I also have a new pot of salted duck eggs, you can also bring them to the young master!"

"Okay!" He An smiled and took the large pile of things and put them into the carriage one by one.

"Madame, don't worry, the little one will take care of the young master. ”

Rong Xia glared at him angrily, and pouted, "Hurry up, go quickly......"

"This is all the way away, and the lady doesn't give a sip of tea to the little one to drink?"

"If you bully me again, I'll go and sue Sister Sù Jiuxiang!"

He An immediately showed a frightened expression and touched the back of his head stupidly.

Before the official winter, the autumn vegetables planted in the back garden of Rong Xia's house, relying on the anti-heaven function of the spiritual well water, were finally able to be harvested. The watery cabbage, the carrots with the top of the carrots, and the yellow potatoes with the most vigorous vitality, just to clean up these things, Rong Xia and the two girls spent three days. Three days later, Rong Xia began to pickle pickles once a year, and this year she plans to pickle a few more, which can be used as gifts for her neighbors in the same village or something.

It was so busy that it was December.

There are cat winter habits in the countryside, and this year's winter seems to be exceptionally cold. The fire kang at home has risen, and Rong Xia's legs have fallen some sick roots because of the events of that year, and he can't stand the cold, so Pei Jinzhi asked someone to send a warm couch with a strange shape

Come over, the bottom of this warm couch is carved and hollowed, you can place solid combustibles, Rong Xia smokes it with good herbs every day, and it hurts, and it really gets better.

On this day, Rong Xia sat on the couch, and a small table in front of him was crackling and calculating.

"Master's method is good, the expenditure, the income, is simply clear. Jin Hua stood beside her and exclaimed. This girl has recently learned a few words with Rong Xia, and it is the time for novelty.

"It's just a simple financial statement. Rong Xia said a little proudly: "You don't know, I used to manage the financial expenditure of hundreds of people!" I think that Rong Xia followed her brother and the two of them to start from scratch, and they did a huge foundation, his eldest brother was busy in front, Rong Xia was in charge of all the account books in the back, and she also deliberately went to night school for this, and studied hard in the accounting class for a while.

"Mom, hundreds of people, Madame is amazing!" Many small stars appeared in the eyes of Jinhua and Yinhua. seems to be thinking, it turns out that the lady who looks so weak has such a great ability, it's really amazing.

"It turns out that my family Axia is so powerful!" With a sigh, the thick embroidered bamboo curtain was lifted, Rong Xia glanced at it, and instantly ahhh

"It's cold underground, and I don't know how to wear shoes!" Pei Jinzhi frowned and scolded. And stretched out his hand to stop Rong Xia's approach. He was covered in wind and frost, and there was cold air everywhere, but he didn't want her to catch a cold.

"Golden flower, honeysuckle, go and pour hot tea. I want the box at the top of the cabinet, which the young master likes to drink. Countless joys burst out from Rong Xia's eyes, and that joy was really clear at a glance.

Pei Jinzhi took off the cloak on his body, walked to the brazier and roasted it, and only sat down next to Rong Xia after his body was finally not so cold, he looked down and looked carefully at the account book written by Rong Xia, raised his eyebrows slightly, and pointed out: "What do these symbols mean?"

"These are called Arabic numerals. Rong Xia pursed his mouth and said very happily: "This is 1, 2, 3...... 10, 100, 1000 ......" Rong Xia picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "It is very convenient to use these instead of 100000 and other words, it is not easy to make mistakes, you can see it at a glance." ”

"That's true. Pei Jinzhi nodded, looked at Rong Xia with an approving look on his face, and praised: "Ah Xia is really capable." ”

Rong Xi smiled shyly, but his heart was overjoyed.

Yinhua came over with hot tea, Pei Jinyi looked at Rong Xia's account book while drinking slowly, and after a while, Fang said: "Your method of keeping accounts is quite desirable. Moreover, it has the effect of induction and arrangement, and if you can absorb the essence from it and use it in your daily office, it will definitely be able to improve a lot of efficiency. ”

"Then Ah Xia sorted out the main points for the young master. "Rong Xia is very happy to be able to contribute to him.

"Okay!" Pei Jinzhi raised his hand and touched her little head.

At dinner, Rong Xia made boiled fish. The fish is still raised in the Houfu Pond, part of it was given to the Prince's Mansion, part of it was processed by Rong Xia and put into the Lingjing space, the plate for cooking fish is a special rectangular iron plate, which can be directly added to the kind of grilled on the stove, the fish is cut in half, only the middle is connected, and the lettuce is spread below, enoki mushroom, coriander, fungus, lion's mane mushroom, kelp, frozen tofu and vermicelli, fresh crucian carp is marinated in advance by various spices, put it into an iron plate, release the raw stock, and boil. But when I saw that the plate was sprinkled with a large amount of green onions and chopped red pepper foam, it was very spicy and delicious.

Rong Xia opened a small jar of newly brewed wild wine. Because it has been processed through a special process, wild wine does not have any astringency, but is sweet and sour, and has a very soft taste. It's not too intoxicating, Pei Jinzhi, a person who is not greedy for cups, unknowingly drank a small jar.

He listened to Rong Xia's "nagging" while drinking.

As small as how many catties of meat have grown in the family's livestock, and as big as the sister-in-law of the Liu family next door is also married~\(≧▽≦)/~ Lalala. It's all a trivial matter for parents.

However, Pei Jinzhi did not feel bored, but listened very seriously.

On the clay kang, under the candlelight, there is still the aroma of steaming boiled fish on the table, and Rong Xia's happy voice.

Maybe that's life.
