Chapter 62: I want to be an ugly duckling

That's right, these arrangements in front of me are for the purpose of burning ordinary liquor. Why did Li Feng know that arranging these things was, of course, because, in his time, when he was cooking liquor in the countryside, he did it like this.

The only difference, in modern times, is that people build a large pool of water directly for cooling. However, in this ancient world, there was no such thing as cement, and it was a bit difficult to get a pool.

Li Feng thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a good way to replace the pool with a large water tank. Although the volume of this tank is still a bit small and there is not enough water, it is not a big problem. It's a big deal, when the time comes, when you see the water temperature coming up, just add a few buckets of cold water.

In fact, when Li Feng first drank the wine of this era, he had already decided to do it. If nothing else, just because the wine of this era is a little too hard to drink. As for Li Feng, he has always been a drunkard.

For the sake of his own alcohol addiction, he has to make his own wine.

Secondly, there is a very important reason, that is, because of the matter of pig raising, more precisely, it should be to solve the problem of pig food.

Li Feng, who lives in the countryside, knows very well in his heart that the by-product of winemaking, sake lees, is definitely a rare and good feed.

In fact, in the countryside, those who make wine and sell wine all year round have a lot of pigs at home. And this sake brewing, to a large extent, is for the sake of this sake lees as feed.

If you just rely on this to sell wine, you won't make much money at all. In other places, Li Feng doesn't know, but in his hometown, basically the practice is to exchange grain for wine, and moreover, it is a pound of rice for a pound of wine, that is to say, a hundred pounds of wine can only be exchanged for a hundred pounds of rice.

Although Li Feng didn't understand how much wine could be produced from this soju and this hundred catties of rice, he also knew that the wine he sold would definitely have to be mixed with some water.

However, with this method of trading, in any case, there should not be much profit. So, to a large extent, also for the sake of those sake lees.

Feeding the pig with this distiller's lees not only makes the pig grow faster, it may not catch up with the direct feeding of pig feed, so fast, but it is definitely much better than feeding the grain directly.

In addition, using this sake lees as feed is also very convenient and labor-saving. Chop the pigweed and vegetable leaves directly, stir them well with sake lees, and feed them directly, so you don't need to cook them at all.

Moreover, the meat quality of this pig that grew up on sake lees is much better than that of other pigs.

It can be said that the reason why Li Feng is so impatient and wants to make wine is for these two reasons. One is for the sake of having wine for himself, and the other is for the problem of pig food.

In the next few days, in addition to boiling all the corn he bought, and then getting them to the clay pot for natural fermentation, Li Feng taught the little girl every day to learn the pinyin.

So, in this house, it's all about "ahh.........h Bopo touching the Buddha".

This is also a matter of no choice, these days, there are no special alcohol or drugs or anything, this has to ferment, of course, the time is relatively long.

However, today, Li Feng finally had something to do, because there was news from the Seventh Master, saying that in Majia Village not far away, there was a family with little piglets for sale.

As soon as he heard the news, Li Feng immediately couldn't sit still, these days, he has been asking everyone to help inquire about the news, and now there is finally an echo.

So, Li Feng immediately pulled Lao Tie, drove the carriage, and went to Majia Village.

When I came to the village, as soon as I inquired, people heard that Li Feng was buying little piglets, so they immediately led the way directly to the house that sold baby piglets.

In fact, in the entire Majia Village, there is only one family with a sow. And just a month ago, this sow gave birth to a litter of piglets, a total of eight.

Originally, this is a good thing, after all, this sow is not just for this piglet, and then sell it for money. But this time, it made the owner of this house very anxious.

Why? Of course, it can't be sold, this litter of little piglets is not the time to be born.

In this Tang Dynasty, the average pig farmer was the kind of person with more abundant labor. The pig food used in pig raising, in general, is basically to go directly to the field, get some pigweed and the like, come back to cook, and then feed the pigs.

As for feeding the pigs with grain, it is simply impossible. That's definitely a stupid thing that can only be done by a loser.

Think about it, what season is it, it's winter. It is not a simple matter to go to the wild to find pigweed, who would be stupid not to pull a few, in such a season, to buy pigs and come back to raise.

In this way, the family is very bad, this little pig has been more than a month, almost two months, and it has not been sold. If you want to keep it, take something to raise it. The pig food of the old sow of the official has a headache. Add these eight and a half big piglets, and that's even worse.

Now, as soon as they heard that Li Feng and they had come to buy piglets, they immediately warmly entertained them. Especially after Li Feng saw the eight little piglets, when he decided to buy them all, the other party was so excited that he wanted to cry. took the initiative to say that he wanted to give Li Feng a preferential price.

After the other party directly quoted the price, Lao Tie nodded like Li Feng, and Li Feng immediately began to take out a big bag of copper coins, after everyone counted for a long time and confirmed that the number was correct. Li Feng and Lao Tie began to rush back directly to the craftsman village.

The last three thatched houses were not lined up together, but one of them was some distance away from the other two. This is what is used to make a pigsty.

As for the remaining two, of course, they are for sake brewing.

"Big brother is back, I want to see Little Piggy"

"Brother Li, Uncle Tie, you're back, hurry up, put the little piglets in the pigsty, otherwise it will freeze in such a cold day."

Li Feng and Lao Tie drove the carriage directly to the thatched hut, and as soon as they arrived, Rou Niang and Yaya greeted them. When he went, Li Feng told Rou Niang to lay things like thatch in the pigsty.

Indeed, on such a cold day, this little piglet has been outside for a long time, and it is really going to freeze. Therefore, after listening to Rou Niang's words, Li Feng and Lao Tie immediately took action and transferred all the eight little piglets to the pigsty.

"Hehe, it's okay, it shouldn't be fine, fortunately there is this carriage"

Those little piglets, who were put into the pigsty, at first, may have been frightened along the way, and suddenly arrived in such a strange environment, a little nervous, huddled together, and did not dare to move. However, it didn't take long for him to start walking around slowly, perhaps out of curiosity.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wow, this little piggy, so cute. But why do they become so ugly when they're so big? ”

The little girl first looked at these little pigs excitedly, and then, suddenly, raised her head, looked at Li Feng, and asked him a question.

As soon as these days came, the little girl was used to it, so she asked Li Feng if she had any questions. In this little girl's heart, this big brother is almost omnipotent and omniscient.

"Well, there are a lot of things, and when I was a kid and I grew up, it was completely different. For example, if you are good-looking when you are young, you will often become ugly when you are older, and if you are ugly when you are young, you will look good when you grow up. Isn't it often said that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the reason is similar to this"

This question really stumped Li Feng. Indeed, many animals, basically, when they are young, look very cute, but this one is big, then it will not work.

Especially the pig, even more so, otherwise, in the past era, there would not be any show pigs, pet pigs and the like.

"Ah......... That big brother, can you think of a way to make me ugly?"

After listening to Li Feng's words, the little girl's expression immediately began to change greatly.

"Why, Yaya is so cute and beautiful now, she is simply a super invincible and cute beautiful girl, why do you want to be ugly"

"It's because I'm so cute now, I'm going to be ugly in the future, big brother, I beg you, hurry up and make me ugly, okay, I don't want to be a super invincible and cute beautiful girl, I'm going to be ugly in the future......"

When she heard Li Feng praise her as a super invincible and cute beautiful girl, the little girl was about to cry

"Haha........."

After Lao Tie and Rou Niang were stunned for a moment, they immediately began to laugh, only Li Feng and Yaya, one was dumbfounded, and the other was so anxious that his face was flushed.
