The arrival of spring rain also heralds the arrival of spring, and the whole Liang Village gradually comes out of winter and becomes more and more attractive.

Although the Xiaoqingshan Nature Reserve has not yet been officially opened to the public, and the infrastructure here in Liangcun is still not perfect, it does not prevent tourists from arriving in Liangcun one after another.

Most of the tourists who can come to Liang Village now are some travelers, bird-watching enthusiasts and camping enthusiasts, who are all a group that has become rich first. For them, the fun of traveling to those well-built scenic spots has gradually been lost, but there are more things to see in the inaccessible poor countryside like Xiaoqingshan.

What these tourists are looking for is to experience the original and original style, appreciate all kinds of wild animals full of aura, breathe fresh air without industrial pollution, and do not have high requirements for accommodation conditions.

In some scientific magazines and related reports, they saw the situation of Xiaoqingshan and Xiaojinghu, and they came to Liangcun one after another after the Spring Festival.

The arrival of tourists has made a little more change in Liangcun, which is a little calmer, and the tourists who are neatly dressed and carrying heavy bags have become a scenery in Liangcun in spring.

After the Xiaoqingshan Nature Reserve was approved, the leaders of the research institute and the Qingshan County Forestry Bureau quickly realized that Xiaoqingshan would be quite tempting to many tourists. However, before the various safety facilities in the reserve were established, it was quite dangerous to rush tourists into the depths of Xiaoqingshan.

To this end, the Forestry Bureau also held a meeting with the mountain people and hunters who are familiar with Xiaoqingshan in Liang Village and surrounding villages to unify their understanding. In order to avoid accidents, the political axe asked the mountain people not to take tourists into the mountain casually, so as not to get entangled in the end.

It is precisely for this reason that even if the tourists arrive in Liang Village and offer a large price to let the villagers who are familiar with the mountains and forests be guides, no one agrees. Some villagers were quite moved, and they couldn't hold back when they looked at the red yuan, but thinking about the warning of the higher authorities, the villagers could only regret their resignation.

Although many tourists are very interested in some of the places revealed by the expedition, it is not easy for ordinary people to enter the mountains because they are in the depths of Xiaoqingshan. The depths of the jungle are dangerous, and visitors to Liang Village are at best campers, not explorers. Everyone generally looks at the boundless beauty on the periphery of Xiaoqing Mountain and the edge of Xiaojing Lake, and then looks at those migratory birds flying in the sky, which is already very satisfying.

Generally speaking, those who can come to the barren mountains and mountains like Liangcun to camp in a leisurely manner are probably white-collar workers or private business owners with high education and a lot of income. Usually they work under a lot of pressure, and as a way to relieve stress, they place their affection on the landscape and actively integrate into nature.

Just like that sentence, the drunkard does not mean the wine, but cares about the mountains and rivers. Although tourists are in the name of watching all kinds of wildlife, after all, they are not immersed in the boundless beauty?

"Xiao Rui, the research of rice wine is not in a hurry, you still have to combine work and rest!" That afternoon, when Liu Ruiwo was concentrating on the fermentation of rice wine in the fermentation room, he was called out by his mother.

Zhang Guizhi looked up at his son's bloodshot eyes a little, a little distressed.

"Mom, it's okay!" Looking at his mother's concerned look, Liu Rui smiled and said, "I'm watching indoors, not going to work as a coolie, I'm not tired!" ”

In the past few days, Liu Rui has begun to observe the fermentation process of rice with certain special koji, hoping to make an amazing wine through the existing conditions. After all, the space spring water can only promote the rice wine to be more mellow, but it cannot completely change the surname of the rice wine.

It's like the line in "Superborn Guerrilla", you will never grow eggplant if you plant a potato!

If the flavor of the rice sake itself is not right, even with the help of the space spring, it may not be possible to make a high-quality sake.

However, most of the secret recipes handed down by the ancestors of the Liu family are a little rough and simple, and the dosage of some materials is also unknown, which makes Liu Rui feel very headache. In order to be able to grasp the ingredients, dosage and process of the secret recipe as soon as possible, Liu Rui can be described as painstaking.

Every day, Liu Rui stirs the steamed rice with a different recipe of koji, puts it into a small jar to ferment, and then closely observes the changes and records it.

Sometimes, Liu Rui had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the fermentation room to observe the situation of the lees, and record the temperature, humidity and other external factors at that time.

In the past, Liujia Distillery was all made by local winemaking, whether it was the amount of koji, the temperature of fermentation, humidity and other factors, it was basically determined by the experience of Liu Rui and Liu Jiahong. This production method determines that the quality of each batch of rice wine will be slightly different, and it will not be consistent.

Of course, as a bulk rice wine, Liujia Distillery does not need too strict quality control, as long as it maintains a certain degree and taste within a range.

After Liu Rui began to introduce space spring water to make wine, the product quality of Liujia Distillery has been greatly improved, becoming more mellow and delicious. At the same time, the differences between each batch of rice wine are becoming smaller and smaller, almost negligible.

If Liujia Distillery is only satisfied with maintaining its current scale and devoting itself to the production and sales of bulk rice wine, there is no need to make any changes to the current koji and production process.

But Liu Rui owns Shennong space, and naturally has greater ambitions, wanting to use the space spring water to create a liquor myth. In the future, when the brewery is built, much of the experience of the original brewery will be turned into decoration, and the ambiguous processes will be replaced by more rigorous procedures.

Liu Rui knows that small-scale production can still maintain quality with experience, but if it is industrial production, it is necessary to quantify many indicators and try to standardize production.

It is precisely for some preparations for the construction of the distillery in the future, and Liu Rui cannot fake others no matter what.

No, he got up early and greedy for darkness for several days in a row, although he was not working hard under the sun, although he was nourished by the aura of space, Liu Rui was still so busy that his eyes were red.

"Look at your eyes, what has become of them?" Zhang Guizhi saw that his son still wanted to go to the fermentation room, so he hurriedly stopped him.

In desperation, Liu Rui could only obediently take the mirror in his mother's hand, wanting to see if it was as serious as his mother said?

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it!

Liu Rui found that his eyes were red, like a little white rabbit. Until now, Liu Rui is willing to listen to his mother's words and take a good rest.

However, how to rest is a question worth considering.

Because of the existence of Shennong space, Liu Rui has been nourished by abundant aura all the time, has a strong spirit, and has very little sleep time. Going back to the room to sleep in the middle of the day is indeed not something that Liu Rui can do.

After thinking about it, Liu Rui still decided to take a walk by the lake, relax, and take a look at the migratory birds that were about to leave Liang Village.

According to tradition, the migratory birds living in Liang Village begin to leave one after another around the Lantern Festival and return to the north to breed.

It takes a week or two for migratory birds to travel thousands of miles from south to north, and they arrive at the same time when they reach the north in the spring.

Without riding a bicycle or wearing a straw hat, Liu Rui walked down the mountain.

The warm spring breeze is blowing in your face, and you can no longer feel the bone-chilling coldness of the freezing rain some time ago, and some are just a faint fragrance of flowers and the smell of spring.

On the slope under the courtyard dam, the lawn and lavender and other plants planted by Liu Rui have already sprouted, and the goose-yellow shoots are the purest spring color. Now Liu Rui is a little looking forward to the scene of lavender blooming in the future, and he is more confident in the future of the Liu family compound.

The sun in the sky was not too hot, warm as a huge stove, making Liu Rui feel that the mildew he had accumulated for a winter was gradually dissipating and finally disappearing. Perhaps, it should be a good thing to come out and bask in the sun.

Walking along the road in the middle of the sand to the lake, Liu Rui found that there were already many villagers working in the vegetable field.

Afternoon is the best time to transplant vegetable seedlings, because the weather is cool at this time, and there will be dew after nightfall, which is conducive to the rooting of seedlings. Farmers have learned a lot from their long-term production practice, and although it seems simple, it is very practical and fascinating.

In the past, when Liu Rui was young, he knew a lot about the experience and precautions of agricultural production, and he often didn't know why. Since he really dropped out of school and went home to farm, Liu Rui really precipitated his mind on agricultural production and rural life, which can be regarded as understanding a lot of things that he didn't understand before.

People are always growing through continuous learning.

Walking through the hot vegetable field, Liu Rui slowly heard the sound of the waves of the lake and the sound of birdsong mixed with the sound of the wind.

Looking at the past, gray or white figures are flying between the green water and blue sky, drawing traces of mysteries. These migratory birds also seem to cherish their time in their adopted homeland and strive to fly every day.

Of course, there are also migratory birds that need to practice flying and regain their instincts for the rest of the long journey.

However, no matter what, the villagers of Liang Village and tourists from afar are always very eye-catching, because as soon as you look up, you can see many rare birds.

When he came to the lake, Liu Rui saw many outsiders wandering around the lake.

Some of them carried cameras, some carried binoculars, and wore sun hats, observing beautiful migratory birds on the surface of the lake, and enjoying the beautiful scenery like a picture scroll.

Standing by the lake, closing his eyes, and taking a deep breath, Liu Rui suddenly felt as if his whole person had melted.

The air is a mixture of water vapor, grass and trees, and a faint floral fragrance, which is an indescribable taste, but it is intoxicating.

The ethereal birdsong seemed to be remembered in the depths of Liu Rui's mind, and it somewhat made his brain completely relaxed. For a few days in a row, even if Liu Rui ate and slept, his mind was still full of koji, rice and various elements related to winemaking, which almost made him a little delirious.

On the issue of building a distillery, Liu Rui is still a little anxious, always thinking about climbing to the sky in one step and becoming a big fat man in one bite.

As everyone knows, everything is always done quickly!

At present, even if Liu Rui can figure out the recipe and brewing process of koji in a short period of time, it may not be able to put it into production immediately.

To build a modern distillery, even if it is a small factory with an annual output of 1,000 tons, from infrastructure, equipment purchase and installation to personnel recruitment and management, Liu Rui will not be able to do it without one million.

According to the development status of the Liu family's various industries, it will take at least two or three years for the Liu family to have the initial capital to start, and the matter of the distillery can be regarded as the real beginning.

At such a stop by the lake, Liu Rui was quickly melted into boundless tenderness by the watery air, and his originally tense nerves finally relaxed, and he regained his clarity in a blink of an eye.

Shaking his head, Liu Rui finally found out that he had been a little crazy in the past two days, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid.

It seems that you really can't have too many obsessions in everything, just go with the flow and do your best!

The exploration and excavation of the secret recipe of rice wine still needs to be continued, but Liu Rui decided to maintain a better attitude in the future so as not to be affected too much.

At this time, Liu Rui seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

Walking along the beach by the lake, until he walked among the reeds, Liu Rui got into it.

The reeds on the shore had dried up a lot in the winter, but after a few spring rains, the water level of Xiaojing Lake had risen, and Liu Rui had to step on water and silt to walk into the reeds.

In the reeds near the place where Liu Jiahong sank the bamboo, Liu Rui hid a small boat, which was the private property of the Liu family, but Liu Rui rarely used it, so he could only hide it in the vast reeds.

With his memory, Liu Rui successfully found the nest where the boat was stored in the reeds, and pushed the boat into Xiaojing Lake.

The small boat is only two feet wide and only five feet long, which can be regarded as a pocket boat. Liu Rui built a small thatched house in the depths of the reeds, and with the help of the dense reeds around, he also kept the boat safe from wind and rain.

This boat was given to Liu Rui by an old fisherman, don't look at it small, and it is still a little old, but there are some extraordinary features in it.

First of all, the entire hull of the boat is made of fine teak wood, and every piece is well-made and stunning. In addition, the riveting between each plank of the boat is quite dense, even without iron nails, it is still strong and abnormal.

The whole ship, both inside and outside, is plated with a thick layer of waterproof tung oil, and even now, Liu Rui can still smell the smell of tung oil.

This boat was originally an old fisherman's eagle boat, and every day he would take the old fisherman down to the lake with a dozen ospreys to make ends meet. As a traditional fisherman's eater, the old fisherman has poured great enthusiasm into this boat, and in the process of making and maintaining the osprey boat, it can be said that he has been improving.

It's just that when the lonely old fisherman gets older, he can no longer go down to the lake to fish. In the end, the old fishermen could only give away their belongings and ospreys, and sell them.

The old fisherman and Zhang Huaizhong are old buddies, but the fates of the two are completely different. Zhang Huaizhong can be said to be full of children and grandchildren, but the old fisherman is alone, which is embarrassing.

When the household belongings that he had relied on for his life gradually disappeared in front of his eyes, the old fisherman was naturally a little sad in his heart. However, it would be even more regrettable to think that if I was a hundred years later, I am afraid that the things at home would not be properly arranged at all.

As his favorite osprey boat, the old fisherman gave it to Zhang Huaizhong, and finally the boat became Liu Rui's collection.

Successfully pushing the boat into the small mirror lake, Liu Rui took two quick steps, then jumped up and jumped onto the narrow osprey boat.

The small boat is not so easy to control, if it weren't for Liu Rui who had practiced many times, not to mention the control, I am afraid that as long as I go up, the boat will capsize.

After stabilizing the hull of the boat a little, Liu Rui began to paddle the oars, driving the boat slowly towards the depths of Xiaojing Lake.

By this time, the sun in the sky had gradually weakened, and it was slowly falling between the mountains to the west, and a brilliant sunset began to brew. At this time, the lake was covered with golden-red sunlight, and it became red, which was somewhat different from the golden yellow of summer.

The reeds on the shore have long since lost the spectacular sight of reeds in winter, and have been replaced by tender green shoots that have grown under the pale old reeds. The arrival of spring has revived and brought life to life.

The golden red sunlight poured into the reeds, and the reeds drifting in the wind seemed to turn into a sea of red, which also had a unique flavor.

It seems that I feel that I am in Liangcun, and the time in Xiaojing Lake is running out, and the migratory birds have come out of their nests and continue to circle and fly over Xiaojing Lake.

Qingyue's cry, graceful figure and picturesque scenery constitute a three-dimensional and dynamic picture, which makes Liu Rui deeply intoxicated. After arriving in the middle of the lake, Liu Ruisuo stopped rowing the oars and let the boat drift on the surface of the lake, as if embedded in the surface of the lake.

Sitting quietly on the boat, Liu Rui didn't think about anything, completely emptying his head. Slowly, Liu Rui felt that his originally painful brain began to be relieved, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

It wasn't until the sun was about to disappear from the mountains that Liu Rui slowly rowed back to the shore.

When Liu Rui returned to the shore again, his mental state and emotions were very different from just now. No one else knows what Liu Rui has experienced in just over an hour? But anyone who is familiar with Liu Rui can feel that Liu Rui seems to have undergone an amazing change.

Liu Rui, who has let go of too much utilitarianism, has a more mellow heart!
