Chapter 309: Moon Appreciation

It's already August, and the grapes are ready for harvest, so it would be nice to be able to make some wine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

To do this business, it is natural to make more expensive wine, which can be small in quantity and high in price.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziqing's eyes lit up, this kind of skill can also be passed on to his family in the future.

Anyway, this wine will not be bad, the wine is aged fragrant, the longer the time becomes, the more mellow it is, and the price will naturally rise.

It's better to go back and buy more grapes and make more. Then the purified high wine can also be buried in the ground, and we will also make a few big jars of daughter red!

The more she thought about it, the more comfortable she became, Lin Ziqing felt that she would never be bored anymore, but her eyes lit up and she decided to do a big job.

After returning home, Lin Ziqing told a few people in the third aunt's family about her plan, mainly because she needed a few cousins to help her collect some grapes and come back.

"I haven't heard of wine, can grapes also be used to make wine?" Lin Jianming asked suspiciously.

"Of course you can, in fact, there was already wine five hundred years ago, a fine wine from the Western Regions. Lin Ziqing said with a smile.

The popular water liquor is a brewed liquor made from grains as raw materials and wheat koji or koji as saccharification starter culture.

Historically, the raw material for the production of rice wine was millet in the north. Sometimes it is also called beam, now it is also called millet, and after removing the shell, it is called millet. In the south, rice (especially glutinous rice is the best raw material) is commonly used as a raw material to make rice wine.

Lin Ziqing knew that the production of soju had not yet begun, and all she had to do was soju and wine.

"You know so much, so we just need to help you buy grapes and come back?" Lin Shumei asked.

"Yes, you just need to help me go to the town to buy grapes, if you need a little sour grapes that are not fully ripe, I will buy some vats myself. ”

On the second day, Lin Jianming's three siblings began to help Lin Ziqing buy grapes everywhere, and they worked all day, picking and purchasing two large board cars. There are more than 500 catties in total.

When Lin Wenshan returned home, he looked at the so many grapes in the yard, and asked in a daze: "Where did so many grapes come from, and did you finish eating?" I remember that the third brother's family didn't plant grapes today?"

"Fifth uncle, this is for making wine, not for eating. Lin Shuying replied.

"Wine, does the third sister-in-law make wine?" asked Lin Wenshan in surprise.

"It's Qingqing who can make wine!" Lin Jianming said happily.

"Qingqing can make wine, why don't I know?" Wine is a good thing, I have only seen it in poetry, and I have never drunk it.

"Fifth uncle, you don't care, Qingqing said that you can taste it in a month, and you can just wait and drink it when the time comes!" Lin Shumei joked with a smile.

"Well, thank you for helping her. This kid is now grown up and has more ideas. Lin Wenshan nodded openly.

"Okay, Fifth Uncle, don't worry!" the three replied in unison.

"The price of wine is precious, you should be careful to brew it, don't spoil it!" Lin Wenshan instructed again.

"Got it!" the three of them nodded again.

"Brother, how much wine can you make with so many grapes, you can sell it for a lot of money!" Lin Shumei's eyes were about to glow.

"I don't know, I still have to ask Qingqing about this. Lin Jianming scratched his head.

I don't know how this thing about making wine got out, and many ladies in the neighborhood came to see it.

Lin Ziqing has been busy buying big jars and vats these days.

However, when she wanted to buy a very important sugar, she found that there was no white sugar in this era, only sucrose, and the sweetness of this sugar was not so high. Fortunately, the amount is still okay, but the price is also very expensive.

Lin Ziqing was speechless, I can't imagine that this wine is so expensive in ancient times, in fact, modern wine is also a more expensive wine, and if it is a famous wine, the price is higher.

A pound of ordinary sugar is more than twice as expensive as meat, but after thinking about it, there are more than 500 pounds of grapes, which can make a thousand pounds of wine, and I am relieved.

She bought more than 20 catties of sugar, and then ran to buy koji, it turned out that someone made koji for a pound in this era.

After she bought these, she went to the store that sold large vats, and chose a few large vats for water, and a large vat could probably hold a hundred catties of wine.

It's just that she wants to buy 10 in one go, and after the price is negotiated, the guy is still very surprised, and asks, "Girl, what are you doing with so many vats?"

"Brew, buy so many tanks, you guys are responsible for the delivery. Lin Ziqing smiled.

"I see, if you buy so many cylinders, of course you can have them delivered to your door. ”

Lin Ziqing smiled again and asked: "In this case, I will pay you half of the deposit first, and when the cylinders are all shipped, I will check that there is no problem, and then pay the rest, do you think?"

"Yes, you can do it, if there is a problem, you can replace it!" The shopkeeper also came out and replied with a smile, such a refreshing customer, maybe there will be business in the future.

"Then it's decided, you can just send it to the Shi Mansion in Xie Fu Lane at the east gate of the city. Lin Ziqing took out the silver taels and paid half of the deposit, and the shopkeeper quickly arranged for the guy to load the car, ready to send the vat to the place she said.

Everything was ready, and Lin Ziqing was ready to start making wine, and suddenly it occurred to her that it was a problem to store so much wine. Although the house is big enough, it is not enough in terms of safety, and this wine can be less noticeable if it is small, and so much is a little too conspicuous if it is placed in the house.

Lin Ziqing was going to go out to find a blacksmith to make a big lock, she had already thought about it, after the wine was brewed, she would block the door with a large stone, and then hang a big lock, a large stone that could only be moved by her strength, I believe that no one in this town can move it yet, if there are more thieves, it will inevitably attract people's attention.

When she was doing this, she didn't expect that suddenly two maids dressed in grass green came to her, saying that the old lady of the Ling Mansion wanted to summon her.

"Ling Mansion?" Lin Ziqing's eyes widened, it seemed that Ling Feng's family had really moved over, otherwise the old lady would have come out.

"Miss Lin, the old lady of our family said, please come to the house tomorrow on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival to enjoy the moon. The two maids said politely.

"Moon-watching?" Lin Ziqing asked with a shrug.

"Yes, eat moon cakes and admire the moon. ”

"I'm not interested, I won't go if I don't have time, I want to spend the holidays with my family at home. Lin Ziqing refused, feeling that it was none of her business, and she didn't bother to say anything, she still went to the blacksmith as originally planned, and went back to find a stonemason to buy a large stone.
