Chapter 178: Enrichment

It's not that the villagers didn't see Qingling running up the mountain when they saw the world, and they couldn't help but wonder if there was anything good on the mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info waited until he saw the herbs drying in the second family, and his doubts were solved without asking - people are the apprentices of the old doctor, how can anyone who does not know herbal medicine when studying Chinese medicine. Oh, if you don't pick it after work, will it be difficult to wait for the working hours to pick it again?

Therefore, except for a few rapping women who always wanted to inquire about Grandma Zhang, most people didn't take it seriously.

Qingling has been living a fulfilling life these days.

During the period, she also asked the second aunt to evenly distribute five catties of glutinous rice, and secretly gave the second aunt money but she refused to accept it, only saying that the glutinous rice in the next season would be divided and returned, Qingling had to send her some wild fruits in the mountains, and some of the wood nuts, oranges, and hawthorns were given.

The glutinous rice is in hand, and the ingredients for making chrysanthemum wine are ready.

Knowing that his apprentice wanted to make longevity wine, Zhang Youkang made a special trip to send a small package of wolfberry, angelica, and rehmannia to make wine, saying that making wine with chrysanthemums would have a better effect on replenishing the body.

Qingling only then knew that the master and the master would also make chrysanthemum wine. It's just that in recent years, there have been too many restrictions, and the harvest of the previous two years was not as good as this year, so there was no waste of grain and wine. This year's harvest is good, and the apprentice has this heart, and the second elder is happy to support it.

The brewing method of chrysanthemum wine is not difficult, compared with sorghum and glutinous rice wine, this is much simpler.

Steamed chrysanthemum petals and wolfberry and other medicinal materials are fried in water, and the thick juice obtained by frying is used to soak and wash the glutinous rice after soaking, drain the glutinous rice after soaking, steam it in the pot, let it cool, mix in the crushed koji and the remaining medicinal juice, and then put it into the jar to ferment.

Until the sweetness of the rice wine escapes, indicating that the wine is ripe, the gauze is filtered out of the lees, and the wine is still sealed in the jar, and placed in a cool place to be taken out and drunk during the Double Ninth Festival in the coming year, it is a light and elegant chrysanthemum wine.

After brewing chrysanthemum wine, then dispose of the sake lees.

This is a good thing, and every family is reluctant to lose it, so they bring poultry, which is said to grow very fast. However, I heard from my sister that before feeding, you have to spread it out and dry it for a period of time to dissipate the smell of wine.

After a few days of drying, I waited until I didn't smell much wine at close range, and then added it to the chicken's rice bowl.

After this stubble, it's Sunday again.

Qingling promised Aunt Li the pheasants and eggs on her back, of course, she didn't forget to pack ten catties of millet for the old man who gave her hairpin, and finally picked a few catties of soft and hard suitable hairwood nuts that taste just right at this time, and they won't be bad if they are put for two more days, and rushed to the county seat in a hurry.

I met Ergouzi and a group of children at the head of the low pier bridge, and you pushed me out and pushed Ergouzi out as a questioning representative: "Sister Fangfang, is it time to pick the persimmons from Brother Gangzi's house?"

When Qingling heard this, she tiptoed to look at Xiangjia on the other side of the river - two tall persimmon trees, which bore a lot of red fruits, and they looked very pleasant.

In the past few days, as soon as I finished work, I ran to the mountains, picking herbs, picking wood fruits, and occasionally beating some chestnuts and walnuts. It is observed that the hairy wood fruit has not been put for a long time, so together with Shi Niang, after dinner, the ripe hairy wood fruit that cannot be put more is peeled and mashed to make jam. A small half-jar of honey was also contributed to this purpose.

The butter is delicious. Leave a jar for the three of them to dip in steamed buns to eat, and the rest plan to go to the county seat this time to send it to Senior Brother and Xiang Gang.

As for those hairy wood nuts with very tough skin, Grandma Zhang was trying to dry them. When she was young, she learned to dry apricots from her grandmother, and they were all dried fruits, and they never deviated from their roots!

In fact, drying dried fruits is more time-consuming and laborious than making sauce, boiling the sauce at one time, but drying it has to be moved in and out for several weeks. But there is no need to add other materials, sugar or honey instead of sugar is so expensive, no matter how troublesome her old man is willing to try.

After such a busy work, and the wild persimmons on the mountain ripen late, she forgot that there were two persimmon trees with fruit in the backyard of Xianggang's house waiting for her to harvest.

It just so happened that Li Cangzhu came to her with two hens in her arms, and Qingling simply unlocked them and let a few children go into the house by themselves: "Dog, you are the oldest, you must take care of them, don't frighten the chickens, and don't break the branches." Of course, safety is the most important thing, otherwise I won't dare to look for you next time. The persimmons are picked first, and a few of you are picked and taken home. When I come back from the county seat, I will pick the rest of the persimmons together. "It's equivalent to paying them the labor fee first.

The second dog's chest was straight, and he patted Bangbang: "Don't worry, Sister Fangfang, I will take care of them! That's it, the ripe persimmons picked are really for us?"

They squatted on the opposite bank behind them, and looked at the yard of Xiang's house for a long time, and there were definitely a lot of ripe persimmons, and they all gave them a share, and each person could get seven or eight.

"It's true, yes, everyone has a share! Don't forget Xiao Cangzhu, take care of him. Qingling touched Cangzhu's head and asked him to go home with the two hens and the two dogs.

The children screamed happily, jumped and jumped, and waved at Qingling to reassure her.

Qingling waited for them to enter the courtyard of Xiang's house, took the courtyard door with them, and then hurried to the dock to catch the first boat.

Fortunately, I didn't miss the departure time of the first boat, and I arrived on the other side in good spirits in the excitement of a boatload of passengers chatting about the hydropower station.

After autumn, the opening time of the post office was extended to half past seven, and Qingling went to the old man's house first.

It was the old man's little daughter-in-law who answered the door, wearing a white-washed apron drying clothes in the yard, and when she heard the knock on the door, she immediately came to open it, and asked Qingling suspiciously who she was looking for.

"I'm not looking for anyone, but I have a fate with my uncle, so I came to the city this time and brought him something by the way. Qingling handed her the bag of millet and said with a smile, "The bag of rice is bothered for my aunt to help me keep it, and I will come back and get it." ”

After finishing it, he gave the other party seven or eight hairy wood nuts: "This is a wild fruit picked from the mountains near my house, the sweet and sour taste is not bad, the elderly and children can eat it." ”

The little daughter-in-law will be careless, holding the wood fruit in her arms, looking at the rice bag at her feet and helpless, and saying "how embarrassing is this" several times.

Qingling smiled and waved her hand, helped to take the courtyard gate, and went to the post office.

"Girl!" The little daughter-in-law didn't have time to return to the second elder, so she had to probe and shout to Qingling, "You have to come to the house to sit down, if you need help in the city, just come to us." ”

"Good. Auntie, go in, I'm going somewhere else, and I'll come back to see you next time. ”

The little daughter-in-law watched Qingling walk out of the alley, and then she entered the house with fruits and rice bags in her hands.

"Did someone knock on the door just now?" The old couple was in the back room to gather their sons to discuss the matter of a few children entering the nursery, the eldest grandson is six years old, and if he doesn't give it away, he will be called a "wild child". Seeing the little daughter-in-law come in, he asked casually.

"Oh, Dad, this is a girl who sent me and said I knew you. Listening to her tone, it seems to come up from the other side of the river. Dad! It's millet, and it's estimated that there are about ten pounds. The little daughter-in-law said, offering a treasure and presenting a bag of rice.
