ps: Happy Dragon Boat Festival, little masters~~~ Where are people drifting on Long Island! I'm in a good mood!

This kid didn't even cry!

Wu Nuandong was surprised.

Zhou Shi has a headache, "Usually it's okay, bumps and bumps are really tight, don't cry or make trouble, but if he gets into trouble and hits him, he doesn't care, it's really not easy to teach!" She didn't have anything to say, You'er loved to please his little aunt and the old man, and she was cute like a good baby in front of them, and once the two were not in front of her, she was a naughty little bully, and let her and his grandmother chase after her ass all day to clean up the mess.

Wu Shanyou broke free of his mother's hand, climbed onto Wu Nuandong's lap, twisted his small body to find a comfortable position, and didn't want to get up. The little leopard did the same, put his head together, and fell asleep with Wu Shanyou's head-to-head eyes.

"Maybe in You'er's eyes, it's not a thing, and he's very broad-minded!" Wu Nuandong praised softly, the baby is limited in energy, and playing and sleeping is the most fun and tiring age, she twisted the soft hair on his head, and said sincerely: "I think You'er will be better than us in the future!" ”

Zhou Jiumei smiled, looked at the baby who was extremely dependent on his little aunt, and her eyes softened unconsciously, "I don't care if I don't have a good life, as long as I am filial and sensible and don't make people dislike me, I will be content!" ”

Wu Nuandong smiled and didn't speak, being a mother is strong, every mother is the most noble and selfless person in the world.

The big pharmacies, pastry shops and fruit and vegetable supermarkets are already doing well, either expanding further afield or developing new products. After buying another batch of dead deed subordinates, Wu Nuandong decided to set up a wine cellar and start making wine.

The big pharmacy is under the jurisdiction of Grandpa Zheng, the second aunt is in charge of the pastry shop, and the fruit and vegetable supermarket is the eldest aunt. Uncle himself paid for the opening of a carpentry shop, although the store is not big, it is always the work he likes to do, every day he goes out early and returns late, even if his face is tired, he can't hide his smile. And the second uncle is basically in a state of being a layman, wasting his talents, and just in time to manage new business.

With her strong support, Aunt Zhou has made red wine, white wine, fruit wine, plus several ancestral liquors in her family, there are more than a dozen kinds of liquor, and she can barely open a wine shop.

Distilled spirits have a high degree and are very popular with some bold men, and women can drink some of them with low content of fermented spirits, except for beer, of course.

The beer brewing process is not complicated and is mainly divided into mashing, boiling, and fermentation.

Mashing is done by squeezing the malt to remove fermentable sugars and other important ingredients. First of all, the malt is coarsely ground and mixed with warm water to keep it at a constant temperature. After that, the wort is gradually dried and rinsed with hot water to extract more sugar, a process that lasts one to three hours.

The so-called wort actually refers to the unfermented beer, which needs to be boiled in a tank for an hour until boiling, and during this time, hops are added in different periods, and after the boiling process, the wort is separated from the hops and cooled for fermentation.

Fermentation requires yeast digestion and conversion of sugars into alcohol to produce a flavor, while fermentation usually takes five to ten days for pale beers and longer fermentation times for lager beers, which are cooler and refrigerated.

The brewing method provided by Wu Nuandong is not fine, at most it is handmade, but Aunt Zhou is at the professional level, and the rough recipe is put in her hand, and after a few trials, it has become a secret recipe that cannot be bought.

Simply buy a good shop, train a good guy, Wu Nuandong came to a big sag, there is a second uncle to deal with the business, and Aunt Zhou supervises the winemaking, she is happy and free. Compared to the previous stores, it's not too worry-free!

Pingji Town is on the southern boundary, not to mention snow, even ice has never been seen. Spring, summer and autumn are all hot seasons, and only the north has the conditions for storing and storing ice, even if it is a rich and noble family here, it is not so easy to eat ice once.

However, the taste of the beer was greatly reduced without freezing, and Wu Nuandong came up with the idea of ice cubes.

She knew how to make ice from saltpeter, and the earliest ice refrigeration itself originated in China at the end of the Tang Dynasty. By the Yuan Dynasty, merchants added jam and milk to ice, and they had already made ice cream that was very similar to modern times, which shows how strong the leading consciousness of the ancestors was in eating this issue.

At present, the government does not regulate the saltpeter mined in the production of gunpowder, and many fireworks workshops sell saltpeter. Wu Nuandong notified Qingliu and a few other shopkeepers, and secretly bought a lot of them and sent them back.

Now it is the height of summer, Pingji Town is a hot and humid difficult period, Wu Nuandong received the saltpeter shipped back and rushed into the small kitchen, Sister-in-law Zhang and Xihua also hurried in to help.

"Girl, you said we would do it!"

"Cherish the painting to fill the water, and Sister-in-law Zhang will go get some sugar." Wu Nuandong said, took out a large plate from the cabinet, and asked Xihua to pour water into the plate, and there was a jar on the plate, which was also filled with water, and put sugar and a little spice.

"Cherish the painting, put the saltpeter on the plate."

Saltpeter froze into the water, and even the water in the jug froze into ice.

Xihua and Sister-in-law Zhang were dumbfounded, and they didn't expect that the coolness on their faces would be so light.

The painting came from the north, and when I saw the ice eyes that I hadn't seen for a long time, they were red. Sister-in-law Zhang is the first time to see her, and the woman's family has few opportunities to go out, but she is fortunate to hear her husband's family talk about it, and she is very excited to see it this time.

Wu Nuandong chiseled the ice in the jug, poured it into a bowl, and sprinkled apples, watermelons and other fruit pieces on top to make a smoothie.

"Come and try it!" She divided two small bowls and motioned for the two to taste, and as soon as she was excited, Xihua and Sister-in-law Zhang forgot the concept of master and servant, and picked them up one after another, dug a mouthful, and put them in their mouths with spoons.

Sister-in-law Zhang sucked in the cool air, "It's so refreshing!" It's delicious! Girl, try it too! As he spoke, he took a bowl again and fed Wu Nuandong.

She took a bite and felt pretty good, the heat dissipated all over her body, and she was much more comfortable with the cold. I can't help but regret my laziness, I thought of the saltpeter ice making thing earlier, and the summer of the past few years will not be so painful!

"Call the people in and send them to the masters of the courtyards!" Wu Nuandong ordered to eat a non-stop cherished painting, and said with a dark smile: "What's the hurry, no one robs you!" ”

Xihua's face turned red, so he naturally wouldn't refute the master, and quickly ran out to summon someone to serve it to the masters.

Wu Nuandong personally took his grandfather and father's share to them.

The whole family applauded after eating, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt had their eyes lit up at the same time, and they wanted to get some ice in the store to open up business.

"The pastry shop can make some cold drinks and sell them by hand, but does the fruit and vegetable supermarket use ice?" Wu Nuandong's eyes blinked, and he asked Qian very studiously.

"Stupid and warm, which of the fruits and vegetables in our supermarket is heat-resistant, spraying water every day, it won't be long before they are wilting, and fortunately, our business is good and there is no stock, otherwise we would have lost the bottom long ago." I don't have to worry about the occasional ice cube, so I make them into frozen juice, vegetable juice or something, and sell them for a good price the next day! ”

Wu Nuandong gave a thumbs up and boasted: "Auntie, you are really financially minded!" ”

Wu Xingyi pursed his lips and whispered: "Niang is the biggest profiteer!" ”

Qian smiled and directly kicked him in the ass, "The son of a profiteer is a little profiteer, half a catty and eight taels, stupid son!" (To be continued.) )
