On this day, when the sky is bright in the morning, all the doors and windows of the winemaking workshop will be opened, five animals and four fruits, three teas and six wines will be placed, incense and candles will be lit, and then everyone will take turns to worship the god of wine under the leadership of the owner.

Lan Xiang was very excited to participate in such a ceremony in person, and even Helu, who was usually calm, did not calm down, and the two chattered non-stop along the way. Hua Qianyue was thinking about yesterday's events, yesterday morning the fifth uncle came to the house to discuss with his grandmother about the sacrifice to the god of wine, the fifth uncle advocated Hua Qianshu to preside, but the grandmother said to let Hua Qianyue preside, the fifth uncle immediately objected, how could a woman preside over the big sacrifice? Not to mention learning to make wine, she is not the first girl in the town to learn to make wine, but this kind of thing should be presided over by Hua Qianshu, the heir of the East Mansion.

However, her grandmother said that Hua Qianshu could not make wine and could not preside over the festival, and the god of wine "Yidi" was a woman, so it was reasonable for Hua Qianyue to preside over the festival.

The fifth uncle wanted to refute, but was blocked by his grandmother's sentence: "It's so decided".

Thinking of this, Nu Qianyue sighed, even the fifth uncle, the chief shopkeeper of the winery who is dedicated to the sake of Dongfu, is not optimistic about presiding over today's festival, will the housekeepers of the winery coax themselves out? It's big to think about, and I just hope that this road can be longer.

Regardless of whether Hua Qianyue wanted to or not, the carriage still stopped at the door of the winery, Hua Qianyue took two deep breaths, and said to herself in her heart: "Death is death, let it out." Without waiting for Lan Xiang to help, he lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car.

The entrance of the winery was as quiet as usual, and there was no angry crowd as Hua Qianyue imagined, only the big characters of "Yundu Winery" were much brighter than usual.

All the stewards and men in the winery stood in the courtyard and stretched their necks to look at the gate, guessing who would come today, when Hua Qianyue stepped into the courtyard gate, everyone said: "Sure enough, it's Miss Dongjia", and then Gu was stunned, and then said that he hoped that the person who came would be the eldest lady?

Hua Jiaqi was afraid that everyone would hear that it was Hua Qianyue who presided over the festival and did not come, so he deliberately did not inform the people after work yesterday. This will also be very worried, thinking about how to appease everyone in the event of an accident, and how to complete the great sacrifice.

Seeing that everyone did not react to Hua Qianyue's arrival, Hua Jiaqi was surprised in his heart, but in order to avoid complications, he didn't have time to think about it and announce the start of the ceremony.

As soon as the words ended, the drum music sounded, and in the drum music, the stewards tied red silk around their waists, held sacrifices in their hands, and respectfully presented them to the god of wine, the first row of wine was placed, the second row was five-color pastries, the third row was four pots of fruit, the fourth row was five large pots, and the fifth row was incense and candles. Then Hua Jiaqi sang: "Please-wine-god-," Lan Xiang Helu stepped forward and slowly put down the painting scroll, on the painting scroll is a woman holding a wine jar, she is the god of wine Yidi!

Then, under the leadership of Hua Qianyue, they took turns to offer incense and worship the god of wine.

"Heaven and earth are created, and mellow mash is flourishing. The ancient Yue is dense, and the ground is fertile and the water is spiritual. After the incense is completed......, Hua Qianyue recites the sacrifice on behalf of Yundu Winery, expressing the good wishes of opening the brewing festival, sacrificing to the god of wine, and bless me with good wishes.

At the end of the ceremony, the cook remade the pig's head and carp used for the sacrifice and served it for breakfast

After breakfast, the brewing officially began: dozens of wine tanks were arranged in an orderly manner in the workshop, soaking rice, steaming rice, and fermenting in the tank...... The steward and the men were busy in an orderly manner, and suddenly the unique fragrance of the fermented sticky rice came to the nostrils.

Hua Qianyue was not idle, brewing her own wine in a small workshop that belonged to her, and Lanxiang Helu was guarding the door, and no one was allowed to approach. This workshop was originally Hua Jiajun's personal workshop, and now it belongs to her.

"Miss," Lan Xiang bit an apple in her mouth and carried a small bunch of grapes in her hand, and shouted inarticulately: "The tribute fruit sent by the fifth master," the grapes in her hand were handed forward: "This is yours, and Helu and I each get an apple." ”

Hua Qianyue looked at the crystal clear grapes in front of her and her heart moved, and shouted: "Helu." ”

Helu opened the curtain in response, said Miss, and waited for Hua Qianyue's instructions.

Hua Qianyue pointed to the grapes in Lan Xiang's hand and said, "Buy me ten catties back." ”

The boss with Helu's mouth open, Miss...... What does this mean......

Ten pounds? This season...... Buy ten pounds of grapes?

Grapes are not resistant to storage, and it is not easy to preserve them until now, and I am afraid that the whole town will not be able to find ten catties.

Lan Xiang was eating an apple, and when she heard this, she choked on a mouthful of apple in her throat and coughed, constantly pounding her chest with her fist.

Helu woke up and swallowed the water mouth and hesitated: "Ten catties...... I'm afraid I won't be able to buy ......."

Hua Qianyue also reacted and said to Helu: "No matter how much, buy everything you can." ”

An hour later, Helu came back with three catties and seven taels of grapes, "Today's festival sold a lot, and there are only so many of them in the whole town." ”

Hua Qianyue glanced at the grapes in Helu's hand and said: "Use scissors to cut off the grapes one by one, leave a little fruit pedicle, be careful not to hurt the peel, and then remove the green ones, leaving only the purple ones, wash them and drain them." ”

Half an hour later, Hua Qianyue poured the grapes into the pot, crushed them one by one with her hands, and left the grape skins, grape seeds and pulp in the pot, and then according to the proportion, put the sugar and stir evenly, and when the sugar was completely melted, it was put in a jar that had already been washed and sealed.

Helu's eyes were about to protrude, and she asked Hua Qianyue, "Miss, what are you doing, these grapes cost three taels of silver." The rest of the sentence was not spoken: "It's just such a mess?" ”

Hua Qianyue wiped her hands and said lightly: "What is three taels of silver, it may become thirty taels after twenty or thirty days," Three hundred taels is not necessarily. ”

Helu's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down and said, "The slave should die."

Hua Qianyue was inexplicable: "Okay, where is it time to die?" ”

Helu knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Slave maid...... Slaves shouldn't peek at the young lady's brewing ......"

Hua Qianyue supported her forehead: "I thought that Lanxiang had a rich imagination, but I didn't expect your imagination to be even richer." ”

He Lu's hand pulled her up: "Have you ever seen a wine made with grapes?" Helu shook her head, Hua Qianyue said: "Isn't this it, but a book I read a few days ago mentioned grape brewing, and now I saw that Lanxiang took grapes in and remembered for a while, Suo Xing let you buy them to do fun, where is winemaking, not to mention our family, that is, the whole Da Zhou can make grape wine?" ”

In this way, this girl is relieved, right?

It's also good to save yourself having to make excuses when the wine comes out of the tank.

Helu is right to think about it, grape brewing is a Hu people's thing, how can Miss be. So he was relieved, and after thinking about it, he seemed to be comforted: "Miss is so smart, she will definitely do it." ”

Of course, Hua Qianyue knew that it would be successful and did not shirk: "Okay, I will be the first one to invite you to drink after I get out of the tank." ”

The master and servant talked and laughed and revealed the matter.

The next day, on the first day of October, before dawn, Hua Qianyue's family brought wine and food to Hua Jiajun's grave, and when he returned, it was already dawn, and he got up early for two consecutive days, Hua Qianyue was a little sleepy, and fell asleep in the carriage.

When she woke up, she found that the carriage was parked on a small road in the suburbs, and when she asked what was the matter, the coachman said, "There is a carriage stuck in the mud in front of her, and the road is narrow, and our carriage cannot pass." ”

After sleeping in the car, my hands and feet didn't move for a long time, and I felt a little numb in my hands and feet at this time, so Hua Qianyue decided to get out of the car and take a walk.

Hua Qianyue felt much better when she moved around the carriage, and when she saw that there was no movement in the carriage in front of her, she decided to go to Gu's car to find Hua Qianshu to play, who knew that this would make Hua Qianshu sleep Zhengxiang.

I didn't want to disturb Mrs. Min's rest, so Hua Qianyue thought about how it was better to go and see what was going on with the carriage stuck in the mud puddle, and how long would it be in this traffic jam.

The carriage was about ten meters away from Hua Qianyue's carriage, and the pit on the right wheel was about two meters in diameter, and the coachman pulled the horse forward, and the remaining five people pushed hard behind the car, shouting "One, two, come on!" One, two, come on......"

The wheels moved forward and looked like they were about to come out, but somehow they retreated back......

This reminded Hua Qianyue of a time when she was in college, when her classmates went on an outing together, a local classmate had just taken the driver's license exam, and wanted to show her hand in front of the female classmate who had been secretly in love for a long time, so she borrowed a car and drove over......

Thinking about it, Hua Qianyue laughed, and when she heard someone laughing, the person pushing the car turned her head and glared at Hua Qianyue, seeing that she was misunderstood, Hua Qianyue shook her hand while laughing and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you." ”

No matter how you hear this, there is a taste of three hundred taels of silver here.

Everyone was a little impatient after pushing for so long, but now they are laughed at by a little girl, and their faces are a little unbearable.

Hua Qianyue saw that everyone didn't believe it, and added: "I'm really not laughing at you." ”

It's like someone laughing at you and then adding a stick.

This made someone can't hang up, and a tall man said in a deep voice: "This young lady is smiling so happily, there must be a way to pull the car up?" ”
