Chapter 47: Untitled

The Tang Tiezhu brothers came down from the mountain and listened to their mothers-in-law narrate what happened, but they didn't say anything, the brothers still had to do something, but the enthusiasm for winemaking was more than before.

Li and Sun respectively took their useless urns to the yard, washed them with hot water, and left them to dry in the sun, neither of them knew why they did this, but Qing'er specially instructed them to do this, so they did it according to her method.

After the four urns to be found out are dried, put the selected jujube into the urn, and then start brewing according to what Tang Qinger said, and gently pour the sorghum rice wine that Tang Tiezhu went to the town to buy into the urn, and then cover it immediately, and then mix it with clean water and loess to make mud, and the mud blocks the stone cover, so that a little bit of wine can not be emitted, and finally the urn is moved to the kitchen where the temperature and humidity are just right for storage, and the longer the time, the stronger the taste of the jujube wine.

Li and Sun brewed the only remaining urns at home into jujube wine, looking back, the picked jujube was only half brewed, and more than half was placed on the ground, Li and Sun discussed whether to go to the town to buy a few more urns and sorghum rice wine, and make a few more jars of jujube wine, Sun's face agreed, just Tang Tiezhu brothers came back with the wild mountain dates that had just been picked from the mountain, and Li asked them to go to the town to buy a few jars.

Tang Tiezhu and the brothers went to Tang Da Niu's house to borrow an ox cart and went to the town, inquired about a few, and roughly understood that a urn was about 30 yuan, of course, there were good ones, but the price was also very expensive, and finally Tang Tiezhu chose a more fair shop, and asked for the cheapest kind of urn, and bargained with the shop owner for 28 yuan a piece, bought five in one go, paid 140 copper plates, and waited for Tang Tiezhu brothers to move the urn into the car, and drove the ox cart back to Tangjia Village, it was almost dark, After the two of them worked together to send the urn back to their house, Tang Tiezhu returned the ox cart to Tang Da Niu, and gave him two pieces of glutinous rice flour pastry bought from the pastry shop.

The next morning, the two families got up early and began to be busy, cleaning the urns, drying and sterilizing, and finally starting to make wine, finally all the five newly bought urns were made into jujube wine in one day, and the jujubes picked were also used similarly, and the rest were not good, and they could only be thrown away if they couldn't eat them.

Tang Qing'er remembered the persimmon she ate last time, and couldn't help but be greedy, seeing that her father was idle and bored at home, she stepped forward and took her father's hand and said, "Dad, I want to eat persimmons,"

When Tang Tiezhu heard his daughter say this, his stomach squirmed unconsciously, his mouth clicked even more, he stood up suddenly, went to the yard and took a sickle and said to Tang Qing'er: "Girl, go, Dad will take you to eat, I'm hungry too,"

Tang Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Dad, if you let your mother know that your mother doesn't laugh at you," Before Tang Tiezhu could reply, he saw Fei'er of the second uncle's family coming from the dark place behind the kitchen, her face was red, her hands were still unconsciously rolling up her clothes, and she lowered her head and said: "Uncle, Sister Qing'er, I want to go too, you can take me too, I will not make trouble, I will listen to you,"

Tang Tiezhu said with a smile: "What's wrong with this, but don't tell your aunt, let's go secretly, eat secretly, and secretly bring it back for everyone to eat," as he spoke, he picked up Tang Fei'er and walked out, Tang Qing'er smiled and saw Fei'er being held in her father's arms and at a loss.

The three of them walked slowly to the mountain, and when the Li family finished cleaning up the house and went to the yard to find the figure of the head of the house or the girl, where could they still see the figures of the two masters, and couldn't help muttering: "These two men don't know what to do behind their backs, and it's not good to talk about them when I come back." ”

Tang Tiezhu took the two children to the persimmon tree, picked up the cloth bag he carried with him and gently picked up the persimmons, and gently put the persimmons in the cloth bag, Tang Qinger took Tang Fei'er to eat in a hurry, and hurriedly commanded on the side, picking this big one, picking that red one, Tang Tiezhu is the daughter will pick which one wherever she points out, Tang Fei'er is the first time to come up the mountain, it is strange to see everything, take Tang Qing'er's hand and say, "Sister, what kind of tree is this," pointing to the almost century-old pine tree in front of her.

Of course, Tang Qing'er knew what kind of tree this was, but at her current age, it should have been the age of an ignorant girl, so she still pretended not to understand and didn't answer Fei'er's question, but looking at her sister's desire to learn, she turned to Tang Tiezhu, who was picking persimmons, and said, "Dad, what kind of tree is this?"

Tang Tiezhu glanced up, his eyes were a little deep, and said: "That's a pine tree, it's a bit like a red pine, look at this tree is so thick, about a hundred years old, I'll make a mark later, if it's really a red pine, when Qing'er gets married in the future, I'll make a cabinet for you,"

Tang Qing'er couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, how old am I, you just think that I want to get married," her father is too anxious! However, her father's words reminded Tang Qinger of one thing, the woman here should get married at the age of thirteen, if she is too old, it is even more difficult to find someone, but she will marry at the age of thirteen, this is too early, her body has not developed well, she will marry a baby, thinking that if all this happens to her, she can't help but shudder, Tang Qinger secretly decided that she must exercise her body well, help the family earn money, improve the food, so that the small body is strong and plump.

Tang Tiezhu looked at his daughter and bowed his head after speaking, and said eagerly: "Girl, don't think that Daddy is in a hurry to marry you off, Daddy is afraid that when you get married, the family will not have the money to buy you a dowry, and then go to your mother-in-law's house to be angry, Daddy is preparing in advance, saying that if this tree is really a red pine, Daddy will cut this tree home, and make a wedding cabinet for you, and the cabinet I bought may not be as good as what I did,"

Tang Qing'er looked at her father's positive explanation expression and simple words, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart: "Dad, you see that you are talking farther and farther, how old am I now, you are worried about it so early, this tree will be according to what Daddy said, let's make a mark, and when I grow up, Daddy will use this tree to make me a wedding cabinet."

Tang Tiezhu said loudly: "Hey, keep it for my daughter," said and put the packed persimmon bag on the ground, picked up a stone on the mountain and drew it on the tree, turned it into a big fork, and then grinned and said to Tang Qing'er and Tang Min'er, "Go home." ”

Tang Tiezhu carried a small bag of persimmons in front, and the two small hands went down the mountain hand in hand, and whispered from time to time, Tang Fei'er was even more excited, and quietly said to Tang Qing'er: "Sister, next time you and your uncle come over to pick up my quilt, I still want to come, I often have to take the tiger at home, and I don't have time to come out to play, I am bored." ”

Tang Qing'er listened to Tang Fei'er's words and nodded in agreement.
