Chapter 111: Winemaking

In the afternoon, Yang Yujia said that they were going to pick lotus, Xiao Sier was tired for a while at noon, and he was a little tired, so he excused himself and rested in the room, and when he woke up, he happened to meet the girl Chu'er next to Concubine Zhuang and said that Concubine Zhuang invited her to go to the vineyard behind to pick grapes.

Xiao Sier thought about it for a while, and there was nothing wrong anyway, so he agreed, cleaned up and followed to the backyard, and when he went, Concubine Zhuang and Miss Qiu were already there.

After greeting the two, Xiao Sier asked the girl to also carry a bamboo basket, and picked up the grapes under the grape trellis, the grapes were all black and purple, and there was a layer of frost hanging on the surface, and it was pitiful when hung on the vine.

People say that a good harvest is a joyful thing, and at this time, Xiao Sier really experienced it.

"These grapes are so good, take them back as a small gift and give them away, and they look very comfortable. "Concubine Zhuang is used to being a person, but whenever she has any good things, she always likes to share them with others, so even if she goes out to play, she doesn't forget to bring some things back to her relatives and friends.

"That's right," Miss Qiu echoed with a smile.

"It's a good idea, indeed. "Xiao Sier has tasted this grape, and the taste is sweet, but she has nothing to give away, so she thinks that if she picks more, she can go back to the well water, and she will be blessed for a while."

"By the way, the princess's hometown is rich in fine wine, right?" This Concubine Zhuang still heard Yang Shuang come back to tell her.

"Ah, well, that's right, what's wrong?" Xiao Si'er didn't react for a while why Concubine Zhuang asked, but fortunately, her mind turned fast enough, and she suddenly thought that the real fourth princess of the Xiao family was from Lanling, and there was indeed a lot of wine there.

"Then I wonder if the princess has ever heard of something called 'wine'?" Wine is also something that Yang Shuang told her, there is an envoy from the Western Regions to pay tribute, Yang Shuang drank a kind of wine from other people, and when he came back, he never forgot it, and that wine happened to be wine.

Therefore, Concubine Zhuang thought of wine as soon as she saw the grapes, but she didn't know what kind of relationship there would be between the two, and at this time she remembered that Xiao Sier was from Lanling, which was rich in wine, and thought that maybe she could know a thing or two, so she asked.

"Wine? Xiao Sier was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect Concubine Zhuang to mention this.

"Then will the princess brew?" that is, with a curious attitude, Concubine Zhuang asked.

"Yes" Xiao Sier looked at Concubine Zhuang's glowing eyes and nodded a little funny.

Therefore, in the following time, Xiao Sier began her journey of making grapes in the first jar of grapes in ancient times under the ardent hope of Concubine Zhuang.

“…… Don't get raw water in the wine, it will affect the taste, so when washing, you must use scissors to cut the grapes, and do not destroy the skin of the grapes...... "Xiao Sier took Concubine Zhuang and Miss Qiu to cut the grapes, and after cutting for a while, they were tired, so they called the girl and the grandmother to do this."

And it is true that there is strength in numbers, so soon a large dustpan of grapes was cut out, and Xiao Sier asked someone to bring a large pot and some flour.

"Why do you use flour to wash grapes?" Miss Qiu watched with some puzzlement as Xiao Sier poured flour into a basin full of grapes.

"Flour can absorb some bacteria and impurities on the surface of the grapes, so that they don't affect the taste when they ferment. Shawsel explained.

"I see, the princess knows so much!" Miss Qiu likes Xiao Si'er quite a lot.

"No, I just happened to have learned it before. Xiao Sier learned to make wine from her stepmother, and her family was quite wealthy at that time, and her stepmother had to make a jar of wine herself every summer, so following her, Xiao Sier also saw it.

After the grapes had been soaked for about ten minutes, Xiao Sier asked the girl to carefully wash the grapes four or five times, then found a clean dustpan, spread a layer of clean white cloth, drained the grapes, and spread them round on the dustpan and put them in a ventilated place to dry the moisture on the surface naturally.

However, just waiting for the grapes to dry, Xiao Sier found that when she went out this afternoon, she forgot to bring out the mosquito repellent sachet, so at this time she was bitten several large bags on her hands and neck, and when she picked grapes in the afternoon, she sweated a little, and her body was itchy and sticky at this time, which was really uncomfortable.

So she complained to Concubine Zhuang that she was uncomfortable, saying that she was going back to the yard to change her clothes and put some medicine, Concubine Zhuang looked at the red bumps on Xiao Sier's hands and neck, and felt unbearable and sorry, feeling that if she hadn't asked Xiao Sier to come out to pick grapes and make wine, she wouldn't have to suffer this crime, so she didn't stop her and told her to go back quickly.

When Xiao Sier went out, she happened to meet Yang Shuang who came back, she gave him a blessing and left in a hurry, but just walked two steps and met Yang Yong and Yin Shuozhi who came with Yang Shuang, she was slightly stunned, and first gave Yang Yong a salute.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"No courtesy" Yang Yong didn't expect to see Xiao Sier here, and he didn't come back to his senses until she saluted, but he also saw that the red dots on her neck and hands were bitten by insects and ants?

"I didn't know that the princess was here, it was rude. Yin Shuozhi was stunned when he saw Yang Yong looking at Xiao Si'er, and smiled slightly and gave Xiao Si'er a salute, which was regarded as a reminder to him not to lose his manners.

"Sir, it's very polite," Xiao Sier replied with a salute.

"Is the burn on your hand better?" Suddenly, Yang Yong asked Xiao Sier.

"Okay," Xiao Sier replied instinctively, "Thank you for your concern." ”

"You and I don't have to be so ......" Yang Yong looked at Xiao Sier's alienated appearance, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"Ahem!" just didn't wait for Yang Yong to finish speaking, Yin Shuozhi over there interrupted him with a cough.

"I ......" Yang Yong was brainwashed by Yin Shuozhi's words yesterday, and now he has decided that the person in front of him is Xiao Si'er, especially after he discovered the bunch of red spots on Xiao Si'er's body, he is even more convinced, after all, as far as he knows, Xiao Si'er is the physique of recruiting insects.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do, the slave family will retire. Xiao Sier seemed to be disturbed by Yang Yong and Yin Shuozhi's actions and couldn't deal with it, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly gave him a salute and fled in a panic.

What does Yang Yong mean by this? Could it be that he has already recognized himself, and he doesn't even need to confirm it?!And that Yin Shuozhi, what does it mean that he stopped Yang Yong? Is it to persuade Yang Yong not to exceed the rules or does he have another deep meaning, for example, does he know Yang Yong's thoughts about her? )
