Chapter 379: Winemaking

"Uncle, are we going to pick grapes in the afternoon?"

After eating, a little guy stretched out his head and asked Wen Xu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Xu's head was about to burst into flames when he asked this, and he stretched out his hand and flicked a broken bean on the little guy's head: "What to pick, what did you pick in the morning, don't pick it, after eating, honestly take the money, go to the pond to play with your water!" ”

"Oh!"

The little guy covered his head and answered.

Shi Shangzhen and Shen Qi were covering their mouths, and they were constantly rejoicing on the side, while Teacher Ma and Old Man Chi also had the same smiles.

"One thousand and five, plus a meal, almost two thousand yuan, in exchange for less than three baskets of grapes, this grape is still planted by yourself, Wen Xu, Wen Da, are you really good?" Shi Shangzhen was upset, and Wen Xu was not ambiguous at all.

What can Wen Xu say now? I had to look at her: "I have money, I'm willful, I'm willing!" ”

"Haha, the dead duck is still hard-mouthed, then you continue to be willful!"

"I ......" Wen Xu directly ignored her.

Old Man Chi looked at Wen Xu and asked, "You said you want to make wine, have you prepared all the tools?" ”

"The simple things are pretty much done, and the barrels are left uncooked," Wen Xu said.

Prepare yeast for your wine Wenxu, and a dozen or so large glass bottles, about three glass bottles can fill a wooden barrel, the first time Wen Xu is ready to brew three wooden barrels, one is made of space grapes, one is made of space mixed with grapes, and the last one is made directly from grapes grown outside. As for the many glass bottles, the warmth is to prevent miscalculations, anyway, they are prepared, and they do not take up space.

The tools for self-brewing wine are also quite simple, nothing more than a few glass bottles, as well as sugar and the like, Wen Xu's side has already sorted out the steps according to his own records, and the only thing he hasn't done now is a few hardwood barrels, Wen Xu doesn't plan to use oak, he is ready to use the unique wood in his own space, Wen Xu's side is not particularly particular, everything is based on his own convenience, and he directly uses the hardwood in his own space to make aging barrels.

Old Man Chi asked casually, not expecting Wen Xu to make any good wine.

In the next time, a few adults waited for a group of little babies to eat, and after serving and eating these little ancestors, the adults talked about eating.

"Don't call these boys next time," Wen Xu said with emotion.

Don't say anything else, just say that after eating this meal, Wen Xu feels like he has taken off a layer of skin, these little things get together to eat without a safe life, either I hit you, or you scratch me, it's really a headache, not so worry-free at all in the morning.

"You should have thought of it," Teacher Ma said with a smile, "There are people of our age who sometimes have headaches with children, let alone at your age!" ”

"What about the rest of the grapes?" Old Man Chi said: "Otherwise, I'll help you collect it tomorrow morning, it's estimated that you can't bear it in one day, and it's estimated that there will be no problem in two or three days, right?" ”

"No need, wait for the afternoon I will go to find the big children in the village, junior high and high school, and those who are not in the graduating class, please come over, give a hundred wages a day, and then order a set of boxed lunches to the kitchen, it's almost the same, a dozen or so children are a little more diligent, and it is estimated that it will be almost the same in one morning."

Wen Xu is determined to do the right thing, stop thinking about any crooked thoughts, and honestly ask those who really work to come over and help.

Hearing Wen Xu say this, Old Man Chi thought for a while and nodded.

After a few people finished eating, Shi Shangzhen, Shen Qi and Teacher Ma cleaned up the kitchen, and washed the dishes and chopsticks by the way, and Mr. Chi went back to his laboratory to supervise the work of the students.

With these eighteen or nineteen people, when they arrived at the vineyard the next day, it took less than three hours to harvest all the grapes, not only the grapes, but also the young men and girls helped Wen Xu pick out all the rotten grapes on the bunches of grapes in all the baskets.

How else to say that there are more things in this world and more things with half the effort.

When the kitchen brought the box lunch, everyone's work had already been done, and the eldest child was always a little restrained, not as faceless as the little baby, so Wen Xu sent the meal and salary together and let them take it home to eat.

Shi Shangzhen looked at the twenty baskets of grapes in the room and was a little dumbfounded, and asked Wen Xu, "What are you going to do?" ”

"What to do? Didn't you say that you made wine! ”

Wen Xu also scratched his head a little when he saw so many grapes, because Wen Xu really didn't expect that such a large vineyard could grow so many grapes, at least half more than he expected. In this case, you can get at least four or five barrels of wine with the grapes in the space.

"Did you finish drinking the Year of the Monkey?"

Although the two of them have not made it public yet, this matter is almost a kick in the door, and Shi Shang has already regarded himself as half a hostess in his heart, and now he looks at the grapes in the living room, and naturally begins to frown.

Shi Shangzhen has no confidence in the wine brewed by Wen Xu than Old Man Chi, and thinks that it is not much more difficult to drink, plus Wen Xue himself does not drink any wine, if he drinks it, it is a small amount of white wine, and he may not drink it several times a year when it is red, and now so many grapes have made wine, even if it is delicious, in Shi Shangzhen's opinion, Wen Xu will not be able to drink these wines in his life.

What's more, these grapes, not to mention in Shi Shangzhen's opinion, should not be called grapes in the eyes of Old Man Chi, they are simply evil, and no one who studies plants in Old Man Chi has ever eaten such a bad grape. Don't say it's the old man Chi, this grape picked back, even the big flower and the second flower don't want to smell, as soon as you see this grape immediately turn around and run, you must know that these are two bears, in nature there is almost nothing they don't eat, and now they don't even want to eat, it can be seen that this grape is almost no help.

"Besides, so many grapes can't be placed in the living room all the time, take up more space," Shi Shangzhen said.

Wen Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that her words were right, and she made her own wine, and it was a good thing to scratch without her, Wen Xu wished that Shi Shang really ignored it.

So he said, "Well, I'll take them to my studio at once, wait for the wine to age, and then bring it back to the underground cellar at home."

"Well, that's a good idea!"

As long as you don't put it in front of yourself and let yourself see it, Shi Shangzhen thinks it's a good idea.

"Then you move quickly, I'll tidy up the house here," Shi Shangzhen said.

Hearing her say this, Wen Xu went out again to bring Da Bai back, moved the grape basket from the living room to the door, and put it on Da Bai's back, because the distance was short, Da Bai carried four baskets of grapes at a time, and carried them directly into the studio, and went back and forth five times to finish moving all the grapes.

drove Dabai back to the courtyard to graze, Wen Xu turned around and returned to the studio, after closing the door and locking it, Wen Xu put four baskets of grapes into the space, and then followed him into the space, there is a big wooden basin in the space, this thing was bought by Wen Xu, what is it for, it is used to break the skin of grapes when making wine, and to put it bluntly, it will squeeze the Portuguese skin.

There are many ways to squeeze it, such as pinching it by hand, but Wen Xu's method is simpler, just step on it!

It sounds disgusting to step on your feet, even if you drink this thing and the taste of your feet is estimated to be quite difficult to swallow, Wen Xu naturally won't be disgusted with herself, and when you step on it, Wen Xu puts on natural latex boots and steps on it.

Four baskets of grapes were put into the wooden pot, Wen Xu wore boots almost along the edge of the wooden basin, stepped on every part of the basin twice, poured the broken grapes and all the belt water into a clean large glass bottle, and then added white sugar, let the grapes ferment in the bottle with sugar. Wen Xu paid special attention here, and the information said that the glass bottle at this time could not be sealed, because the seal would explode, carbon dioxide would occur when the grapes fermented, and if the space was closed, it would break the container.

As soon as the grapes were bottled, Wen Xu put the bottle out, because the time in the space was not easy to grasp, Wen Xu had to take the bottle outside, so that when the grape skin in the bottle was lifted up by the carbon dioxide in the bottle for several hours, Wen Xu used something to press the grape skin down, and the time in the space passed in an instant.

For a whole afternoon, Wen Xu tossed his own home-brewed red wine, and finally by the time all the grapes were bottled, Wen Xu already had more than 20 bottles of wine here, and almost used up all the glass bottles that could be used in his space.

The next thing Wen Xu has to do is to take a look at the wine in the barrel every few hours and wait for the grapes to fully ferment.

was tossing in the studio, Shi Shangzhen started knocking at the door.

Wen Xu walked over and opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"When is it time for dinner, and you're still asking me why I'm here? By the way, why are you still locking the door, what are you sneaking up there doing? ”

As he was talking, Shi Shangzhen looked at the glass bottles on the ground in the studio, and saw that the entire workbench was full, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?" ”

Where could Wen Xu say that not only were picked here, but half of them were grapes in the space, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "That's all."

After speaking, in order to divert Shi Shangzhen's attention, he said, "Then what do you want to eat at night?" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and stroked Shi Shangzhen's waist.

Sure enough, as soon as Wen Xu moved his hands and feet, Shi Shangzhen's attention shifted from the number of grapes in the bottle to how to deal with Wen Xu's pair of demon hands.

"Why don't you eat noodles, let's make some cold noodles to eat," Shi Shangzhen said.

Wen Xu was a little unhappy: "This thing is not hungry, look at our house, which one is small-bellied, and all of them are meatless and unhappy, you let them eat cold noodles?" Then I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Shi Shangzhen understood as soon as he heard that Wen Xu was holding these things from Dongliang, so he said: "Dongliang and Dahua are omnivorous, and you are the only meat in the whole family!" Really, eating less meat and more vegetables is good for your body! Otherwise, let's make mutton cold noodles, I'll go down and cook mutton, it's all right? ”

"It's done!"

Wen Xu smiled and nodded.

Shi Shangzhen heard Wen Xu nodding and muttered: I know how to eat meat all day long, and those who eat meat don't have a little heart!

Saying this, he happily went down the stairs and went out of the studio to go back to the house to put the mutton in the pot and cook it first.

Shi Shangzhen just stretched out his hand to open the door of the house, heard his mobile phone ringing, took it out and looked at it and put it to his ear, and at the same time pressed his finger on the place where the fingerprint was read, and heard a click, and the door opened.

"Sister-in-law!"

After Shi Shangzhen entered the door, he said a word to the person on the phone, and his tone was very polite. But after two hums, my face is a little less pretty.

"Sister-in-law, I make up my own minds, don't say that I already have a boyfriend now, even if I don't, I won't waste time with people like them, goodbye!"

After Shi Shangzhen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Shangzhen sat directly on the sofa, his face was very bad, and after muttering a few words, he couldn't help but look behind him, and saw the studio through the window room behind him.
