Chapter 117: A Famous Teacher Produces a High Apprentice
The Min'er sisters tried many times without success, which made them very frustrated, and at this time Wang Jizu came, and they suddenly found hope.
"Cousin, you see, these are all the wine introductions we have made for more than a month, and none of them have been successful." Min'er took Wang Jizu to their barn, pointed to the wine jar on the other wall, and said.
"So much? It seems that you have put in a lot of effort, so I'll take a look first. "The step-ancestor opened the jars one by one, first smelling, then looking, and finally tasting. After he had gone through all the jars, it was two hours later, first, there were many wine jars, and secondly, he looked carefully and tasted carefully.
"How? Find out why? Ling'er asked, they just don't know the reason why they keep failing.
"I'll take a look at it in a moment." The step-ancestor had some ideas in his heart, but he was not very sure that this recipe was passed down from the master's master. Don't say it's him, it's that his master hasn't done it, but I've heard the master say so many.
"Okay, it's too late now, let's start tomorrow morning." Min'er saw that it was almost time, so she postponed the plan to the next day.
"Okay, what about Xiaobao?" Ling'er didn't think that Xiaobao would let them stop doing their business.
"Let Yingyi and Zhao Kang take him to Zhuangzi in Lijia Village tomorrow, he will go a few days ago." Min'er doesn't worry about Xiaobao playing wild with those village children now. Ling'er wanted to say that the weather was cold now, but it didn't hurt to think that children were solid, so she didn't say much, if this wine can't be made, then everything is just empty talk. Seeing that winter is approaching, if you can't make it before the beginning of winter, you will miss the best time to make wine.
Sure enough, as Min'er expected, as soon as Xiaobao heard that he was going to Zhuangzi, the little fat hand waved at them vigorously, and the anxious appearance was as if there was some magnificent treasure in Zhuangzi. After Xiaobao and his party left, Min'er and the three of them went into the warehouse and began to fry the seeds.
"Cousin, you see that we have found so many times that when frying, we first use low heat to remove the residual water in the seeds, then fry them over high heat, wait until they change color, and then use low heat, and finally when the seeds completely become this color, take out the seeds and cool them." When Min'er was frying, Ling'er explained on the side.
"Now it seems that there is no big problem with frying, but I always feel a little too much when I taste it." Wang Jizu has never actually operated it, and what makes him stronger than them is that he can find out the problem by looking and tasting.
"We're all hyped up to this extent." Min'er then poured the fried seeds into a pot beside her, and then went to fetch the root cake.
"Wait a minute, you're done frying and just waiting for it to cool?" The step-grandfather felt that he had found the crux of the problem.
"yes, what's wrong?" The two asked in unison.
"Of course there's a problem, and it's a big problem, just come and see." When the step-ancestor turned over the pot with a wooden shovel for frying seeds, a lot of heat came out.
"Oh, I see, you can't get the heat out of it like this, so it's like overheating." Ling'er slapped her head and suddenly realized, she was really a big fool, she didn't expect such a simple thing.
"That's the reason, so either I keep turning it over, or I just hang it on the case." Wang Jizu poured all the seeds from that pot on the large wooden table on the side, and then spread them out with a wooden shovel to form a thin layer.
"Sister, let's go on and try to find out all the problems today." Ling'er is now very confident.
"Okay, cousin, we'll start now, you look closely." Min'er and Ling'er put the small cakes one by one in the stone mortar, pounded them into pieces and were about to put them in the jar, but they were stopped by their step-ancestors.
"Wait a minute, you just put them in like this, why don't you roll them out with a rolling pin and powder these pieces, it will work better." So saying, he took out some pieces, rolled them out with a large rolling pin, and in a few moments rolled them all into powder, and then opened a jar of wine and poured half of it into the empty jar beside it.
"You two use this little by little to sprinkle into the jar, I'll stir it, remember to be slow and even." The step-ancestor confessed.
"Well, we got it." The two of them sprinkled the rolled powder into it little by little, and the step-ancestor kept stirring vigorously, and did not forget to remind them.
"Remember not to stir around, it can only be one direction all the time, otherwise the taste will be gone." At this time, the two of them found that they had thought things too simply, and they thought that they would just have a recipe, but now it seems that they are really separated by mountains.
"Okay, that's enough, you see it's just right like it is now, it can't be thick or thin." After the step-ancestor finished speaking, Ling'er shouted:
"Ah, cousin, why didn't you say it earlier, we didn't weigh it either." Min'er was also very annoyed.
"Do you still need a scale? This jar is fifty catties, and half of what we poured out is twenty-five catties, and just now you poured a total of twelve spoonfuls into it, which is almost fifteen catties if I am not mistaken. "If the step-ancestor has been trained by his master to be very perverted, his hands and eyes will not be bad, but they will not be far away.
"Cousin, I really didn't see each other for a few days, I admire and admire." Ling'er was telling the truth, but her expression made people feel like she was teasing others.
"I know how to play treasure, and make a record quickly." Min'er patted her and sent her to the case to record it, and they had a record every time.
"I, oh." Ling'er just wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's okay not to explain, if she explains, it will cause Min'er more dissatisfaction.
"Hehe, Ling'er is still as cute as when she was a child." The step-ancestor laughed.
"She's only a long age, but she doesn't have a long heart, and she looks like she's going to be thirteen, and she's not in shape every day." Min'er smiled and complained.
"She's in front of you, she's been measured in front of outsiders since she was a child, you don't have to worry about her." In the heart of the step-ancestor, he is very grateful to Ling'er, he knows that all the big things are her ideas, if it were not for their sisters, he would not be where he is today.
"Now it's okay to seal the mouth of the altar, remember that it can only be opened after ten days, and there is no way to touch this altar during these ten days." Wang Jizu admonished.
When the three of them came out of the warehouse, it was afternoon, and then they felt hungry, Lan Xin saw them come out and hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"Cousin, girl, the meal is ready, please come to the hall and wait for a while." Min'er nodded in agreement.
The speed at which the three of them ate was really like a storm, thanks to the training of the Liu clan since childhood, otherwise the scene would have been miserable.
"Girl, Autumn Moon and Winter Moon ask to see you." Qiao'er came in a little angry to report, and Ling'er knew that something must have happened when she saw this.
"Let them wait in my study, and I'll go over here." Ling'er replied, and then she turned to the two of them and said:
"Cousin, sister, you can rest for a while, I'll go and see what's going on, and then we'll talk about the winery." After saying that, he went to the study.
When she entered the study, she saw Qiuyue and Dongyue kneeling on the ground, and Qiao'er looked angry, so she didn't have to guess what happened between them. Ling'er didn't speak, she sat directly on the chair behind the desk, Qiao'er saw Ling'er come in and hurriedly closed the door, and handed the prepared tea to her. After doing this, she stepped aside and stood aside, Ling'er didn't ask much when she saw her, just looked at the two people on the ground, and the study was silent for a while. It wasn't until the three of them were breathing louder and louder that Ling'er said lightly:
"You've come to me and pretend to be dumb? If you have something to say, you can say it, and if you don't have a word, go out. ”
After Ling'er left, Min'er said to Wang Jizu:
"Cousin, how is the Jiang Family Distillery now?" Wang Jizu was so angry when he heard Min'er mention this stubble, he said:
"Hmph, such an ungrateful villain, since your family's workshop and shop were closed, he has sold schisandra wine to other people's families. He also said that he had nothing to do with you, and that it was just an ordinary business relationship before, but now he has made a lot of money with schisandra wine. I wanted to clean him up, but the master insisted on stopping me and made me wait for ten years, which really made me angry. ”
"Cousin, you don't need to be angry with such a person, I understand what Grandpa Lu means, he wants you to have a lot of experience in the past ten years and become famous. When you are strong, dealing with him is like pinching an ant to death, if you go to trouble him now, others will not believe you. Min'er comforted, she had long known that Jiang Weichen was not as good as he had shown, and now it was a good thing, at least it didn't have much impact on them.
"I understand all these truths, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until now, but I can't swallow this breath when I mention it." Wang Jizu poured a sip of tea as if he was angry, and Min'er was frightened and exclaimed:
"Be careful......
"Ah, it's hot......" I saw Wang Jizu scurrying around like a jumping monkey, Lan Xin saw this and went outside to get cold water, and Min'er was so happy that tears came out, how many years did she finally see her cousin when she was a child again.
"Min'er, you can laugh a little more." Wang Jizu, who drank cold water to relieve a lot, was angry when he saw Min'er's gloating appearance, this one has no conscience.
"Hehe, how can I be happy, I'm worried and crying." Min'er pretended to be aggrieved and said that if her upturned lips hadn't betrayed her, it would have been possible for people to believe her words.
"Hmph, when I'm a fool, don't I?" Jizu wasn't really angry, but he just wanted to make her happy when he saw Min'er's rare relaxed appearance. This cousin's life is too bitter, so that he can't show the heartache in his heart, and the last thing this strong child needs is the mercy of others. All they can do is to do what they can to help them by their side, and it is not in vain that they help them so much with their bodies, and it is not in vain that they sincerely call themselves cousins.
