Chapter Seventy-Three: The Wine Lady Returns to the Rivers and Lakes

Everyone smelled the aroma that permeated the air, and they were a little intoxicated. If it was in the past, such a fragrant rescue, in Ruan Er's eyes, was definitely the wine that the ladies drank, but after knowing the wonderful use of these wines, Ruan Er admired this fragrant wine more than anyone else.

Du Jiumei noticed that the child's nose twitched and wanted to smell more fragrance, like a little gluttonous cat.

Seeing that Ruan Er was very interested in this wine, Yang quickly replied: "There are ten jars at home!" ”

When Ruan Er heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I want them all." ”

"Huh?" Yang and the others were surprised, this is a full ten jars of wine, dozens of catties, and they can't take it.

Seeing that the Yang family was like this, Ruan Er suddenly thought that this time he only rode one horse, and he couldn't bring so much at all, and said with a smile: "These ten altars are all kept for me, I will take two altars with me today, and then come over to get the rest of the wine later." ”

Yang nodded: "Okay, keep it all for you." ”

Ruan Er was as generous as ever, and gave one hundred taels of silver and two big silver ingots.

Ruan Haojun couldn't wait to hold a jar of wine and whispered, "Let's go home." ”

Ruan Er hugged the remaining jar of wine and said goodbye, and left with Ruan Haojun.

After Yang and the others left, they said with emotion: "Ouch, this wine is really profitable." "After a month of hard work and embroidery, you can only earn five taels to ten taels of silver, how can you make peach blossom brewing and hundred flowers brewing to make money.

This time, the bottom wine used was one tael of silver and one jar, and the ten jars were only ten taels of silver, but now they were sold for one hundred taels of silver, no matter how you calculate it, I think this is a very profitable business.

When Du Jiumei heard Yang's words, her eyes lit up, and she tugged on Du Wulang's sleeve.

Du Wulang thought about it for a while, felt that now was also a good time to talk about this, and said with a smile: "Mother, I bought a few old books in the used bookstore in the county some time ago, and I put a piece of paper in it and wrote how to make wine. Since this wine is so profitable, why don't we try making it ourselves, if it succeeds. Later, our family had another means of earning a living. ”

When Yang heard this, he was very curious and asked, "But really?" ”

Yang knew that the family was farming, and Du Wulang was tired and tired for a year. I only plant a few acres of land, but if you have the craft of making wine, you can make money all year round, and you can make a living for a lifetime, which is much better than farming.

"Of course it's true. This is the piece of paper that fell out of that book, mother, you can see for yourself. Du Wulang hurriedly said, but he found an old piece of paper, spent ten yuan, and found an old scholar who wrote the letter to copy it. Looking at the paper like this, it was very old, and it was not his handwriting, and my mother would have believed it.

Yang knows a few words roughly, and he still married and learned from Du Dashan, looking at this recipe for winemaking. They used sorghum and other things, and the family collected a lot of new ones, and even if they didn't succeed, they could afford the loss.

"It's said that this sake brewing is a sought-after craft. Since you have this opportunity and have food at home, why don't you try it yourself, I won't stop you. Yang said with a smile, if it succeeds, then their family will have a foundation to settle down.

Since the family has two or three white taels of silver. The Yang family didn't think about letting their two sons continue farming, at most they bought the land in the future and rented it to others to plant. It's only now that it's separated from the mansion, and if you suddenly buy a field or land. The people of the mansion will definitely be red-eyed, and they will not give up, and they will make a fuss.

"Great, mother." Du Wulang said excitedly that after the separation, he was bullied several times by the people in the mansion. He desperately hopes that he will grow up quickly, earn a lot of money, be filial to his mother, and protect his family.

Du Jiumei was even more happy, her smiling face was red with excitement, and she could finally make wine again.

Wow ha, her wine lady is finally going to come back out of the rivers and lakes!

The most important thing in winemaking is fermentation, and if the fermentation is done well, the quality and yield of the wine will be improved. The fermentation temperature of raw material liquor should be controlled above 20 degrees and below 40 degrees, above 40 degrees is easy to produce acid, and even the koji species dies, and below 20 degrees, it is difficult for raw material to ferment. The optimal fermentation temperature is 25 to 35 degrees.

The temperature is just right now, no more than 40 degrees during the day and no less than 20 degrees at night.

Du Wulang went to fetch water for Du Changshun's house early the next morning, borrowed an ox cart by the way, pulled two large bags of sorghum, and went to Lijia Village to grind sorghum flour. This is the first step, and the purpose of the raw material crushing is to facilitate cooking and make full use of the starch.

Du Balang happened to go to school in Lijia Village and got on the ox cart, and Du Jiumei was idle and bored, so she also climbed into the ox cart.

"Xiao Jiu'er, it's hot outside, I'll just grind the sorghum flour myself, you wait at home." Du Wulang didn't want his sister to be tanned, and the skin he had just raised couldn't be tanned anymore.

Du Jiumei turned her head and said, "I'm going!" ”

Du Balang knew that Xiao Jiu'er had become more lively recently, and like him before, it was particularly uncomfortable to be locked up at home all day.

"Fifth brother, take Xiao Jiu'er out for a walk, while you are still young, you won't be gossiped about when you go out, take Xiao Jiu'er out to see more. The seventh sister is now older, her mother won't let her go out, her temperament is too weak, and it's not very good. Du Balang analyzed, this is not his nonsense, it was said by his mother.

When Du Wulang heard this, he felt that this was reasonable, and nodded: "Okay, you can't run around when the time comes, otherwise I won't take you out in the future." ”

"Okay, fifth brother, I will be obedient." Du Jiumei hurriedly promised.

Du Wulang drove the ox cart and went to Lijia Village leisurely, not far away, just over four miles. The stone in the village, Du Qingyu, the youngest grandson of the patriarch's family, is waiting for Du Balang at the entrance of the village.

On weekdays, the three of them have always gone to Lijia Village together, and they can take care of them on the way. Lunch is eaten at Li Xiucai's house, and it is good to pay 50 yuan a month.

"Brother Goro, are you going to grind noodles?" Shi is Du Dayong's eldest son, who is very familiar with Du Wulang, and when he saw two large bags of grain on the ox cart, he guessed that Du Wulang was going to Lijia Village to grind flour.

There are several surrounding villages, and there is a big mill in Lijia Village. Not only is it finely grinded, but it also comes out more, and the most important processing fee is cheap, and only four cents are charged for ten catties.

Because of this, several surrounding villages are willing to go there to grind flour.

"yes, you two come up too!" Du Wulang said with a smile, they are all in the same village, and the relationship is good.

The two jumped into the car, without walking, of course, gladly.

sent Du Balang and others to the school, and Du Wulang took Du Jiumei to the Li family mill. It was a very large courtyard with four large stone mills, and four blindfolded donkeys circled the mills.

"Xiao Jiu'er, you sit in the shade, don't walk around, while there are not many people now, we can go home after grinding." Du Wulang explained and said that he would not let Du Jiumei run around.

When Du Jiumei heard this, she smiled and said, "Fifth brother, I will sit on the stone over there, and I will definitely not run around." (To be continued.) )
