288.Chapter 288 Homemade Wine
After talking to Lou Yujue, Su Zimo got up and walked out, and suddenly the oppressive suffocation eased.
Guan Yan thinks that he follows Lou Yujue, and he can be regarded as having seen some of the world, after all, the Lou family is a big family, and it is also an imperial businessman, and he also has some status in Beijing.
However, when he met this famous Shura prince in Beijing, he was still trembling, and he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Lou Yujue slowly lay back on the bed, because of the conversation just now, he tensed his nerves, and now he will be a little tired.
"Young Master, be careful. The little one will help you lie down! Guan Yan hurriedly came over and helped him lie down.
Lou Yujue waved his hand, "Guanyan, go and see if Miss Mu has any help you can help?" I'm fine here, just rest for a while. ”
Guanyan nodded, "Okay, let's go for the little one." ”
Because Lou Yujue's body was dilapidated again, and it was not suitable for him to drive tirelessly now, Mu Lingluo only let him stay at her house for two days, which was also convenient for her to see him.
Moreover, there is a man named Su Zimo at home, and he is not worried that outsiders will gossip.
Guan Yan specially asked the coachman to go back and get daily necessities, and Lou Yujue was not a particularly picky person. And even the incomparable His Royal Highness King Chen can live, let alone him!
Moreover, the air in the countryside is fresh, and it is the time when the farming is busy at this time, Lou Yujue feels that the scenery here is extremely chic.
Mu Lingluo not only had to see Lou Yujue recently, but she also had to prepare to pick half an acre of grapes from the back field and put them aside, and also dug up pineapples, she chose the ones that were almost ripe and sent them to the teahouse to sell, and she gave some to the villagers who had a good relationship, and then she used the rest to make fruit wine.
Because she had already prepared some containers, she asked Fang Mei and Mu Shilang to come over to help, as for Su Zimo, she always felt that he was not suitable for doing this, so she asked him to talk to Lou Yujue.
Guanyan felt that the pressure was suddenly great, Lou Yujue was fine, and he could still play chess with Su Zimo to relieve boredom, and occasionally chat about things in Beijing, which was very pleasant.
Lou Yujue looked at the peeled pineapples on the side, as well as the crystal clear grapes, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this small Leping Village can still grow grapes and pineapples, and this season is inevitably too early." Unexpectedly, Miss Mu not only has excellent medical skills, but also knows the art of Si Nong, which is really admirable. ”
Su Zimo slowly fell down, and said lightly: "She has always been quick to think and likes to drum these things." You should know what to say and what not to say. ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, the grass people will never leak half a point, but they are just a little emotional." These days, Lou Yujue can be sure of Su Zimo's connivance and concern for Mu Lingluo.
The importance of Mu Lingluo to Su Zimo is needless to say. Indeed, if it's okay here, if it leaks to the capital, Mu Lingluo, who doesn't have enough self-protection ability, is hard to say that he won't be hated by others.
After a pause, he inserted a piece of pineapple with a small toothpick made by Mu Lingluo, tasted it, and said with a smile: "This taste is really good, even more delicious than what the grass people have eaten in the capital." ”
He quietly boasted about Mu Lingluo.
"That's how it should be." Su Zimo is not humble at all, and his eyes are full of joy and glory.
"......" Lou Yujue really didn't expect him to agree so quickly.
Compared with Su Zimo's rare vacation, staying at home and playing chess with others, Mu Lingluo is much busier.
She first planned to make wine, because the method of making wine is very simple, and she used to have a roommate who liked to make homemade wine, saying that it was clean and safe.
She first cut off all the grapes she picked, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, don't break the skin of this grape, otherwise the taste will not be so mellow." ”
Mu Shilang and Fang Mei both nodded cautiously, picked up the scissors and started work respectively, they moved quickly.
Mu Ling put fine salt in the wooden plate he bought, mixed it with water, and asked them to pour all the grapes into the wooden pot, and then carefully scrub the surface to ensure that their skin is clean.
"Why do you have to be saltwater, Aluo?" Fang Mei was a little puzzled.
"Because the salt water can wash the grapes more cleanly, a lot of invisible dust and other harmful things can be disinfected with salt water. Okay, after a quarter of an hour of soaking, we'll wash it again, Fourth Uncle, I'll leave it to you first, and the Fourth Aunt and I will prepare other things. Mu Lingluo said, and went to the kitchen with Fang Mei to get other things.
By the time they came back with the basket and other things, Mu Shiro had already washed all the salt-soaked grapes in the wooden basin. They drained the cleaned grapes in a basket and put them all in wooden pots.
The next step is to crush the grapes, which used to be manually trampled in large workshops, but in the end they were not clean. Mu Lingluo specially asked people to make a wooden cake, similar to the round shape of the pot lid, and a wooden handle on it, they mainly used the handle to crush the wooden cake into the wooden basin, as long as the strength is right, they can crush the grapes, and it will not splash out.
After grinding, the grape skin, grape seeds and pulp are all left in the pot, and then according to the ratio of six catties of grapes to one catty of sugar, stir evenly with a wooden stick to ensure that the sugar is completely melted.
In order to make wine, Mu Lingluo also specially asked people to dig a cellar to store fruit wine.
The cellar was already filled with sterilized vats, and they only had to pour the finished vats into the vats and seal them for fermentation. Because there was a filter residue at the back, for the sake of convenience, she used not a large wine vat, but a medium wine vat, so that it could be lifted and poured. As for the large wine vats, they are used for the later storage of wine.
The cellar is large and decorated with bluestone slabs, but it is extremely airy.
After finishing all this, Mu Lingluo breathed a sigh of relief, "It's finally done, according to the current weather temperature, it will be able to be unsealed and filtered in about twenty days." ”
"Can this really be turned into fruit wine? It's the first time I've seen sake brewing! Mu Shilang sighed.
In these days, sake brewing is just like cooking and other skills, and it is a secret art that is not passed down at home. But if you can make wine, you still do farm work and coolies at home, and you don't know how easy it is to live.
Mu Lingluo said with a smile: "Of course, tomorrow I will teach the fourth uncle how to make pineapple wine, if our winery is opened in the future, the fourth uncle will be our master." ”
Mu Shilang shook his head, "It's all Ah Luo, you taught me, where am I a master." Okay, I'll clean it up first, and I'll see how they've turned the mountain later. ”
The mountain next to it is going to be used to plant fruit trees, and now I have invited other people in the village to help weed and plough the ground, buy fruit tree seedlings, plant fruit trees, etc., and there are a lot of things to be busy behind, which is a big project.
Mu Lingluo nodded, and instead went to find Su Zimo.
