Chapter 149: Waste and Waste
(Cat pounced Chinese Fang Hanniang also caused people to cover the courtyard with burlap, so that nothing would fall into the vat.
After doing all this, Fang Hanniang instructed Mrs. Niu to say: "In the past two days, you have made people carefully guard these wine vats, and let people take washed bamboo grates to press these grape skins into the juice, once in the morning and once in the evening. Don't forget. ”
Mrs. Niu nodded solemnly.
She went from a small rough mother-in-law to a housekeeper of a large farm, so she naturally knew the weight. She is not like the farmer in her family who is immersed in the field, she knows that she must listen to the eldest lady in this matter.
And it must be complete, and follow the instructions of the eldest lady at all.
If this wine is made, it will naturally have her share of credit; If this wine didn't work, then she had come in strict accordance with the steps ordered by the eldest lady, and if something went wrong, the pot was naturally not hers.
It's harmless.
Mrs. Niu commanded with full spirit.
After doing all this, it was not early, Fang Hanniang and Fang Zhiniang went to the vineyard to pick two baskets of grapes in person, and the two sisters carried a basket and returned to the yard with a smile.
Jiao Yanrong, who was resting in the courtyard, had just woken up not long ago, and she had already recovered a lot, and Fang Changgeng was feeding her a bowl of sweet and delicious matsutake porridge.
Seeing Fang Hanniang Fang Zhiniang coming back, Fang Changgeng said with concern: "Everything has been done?" ”
Fang Hanniang shook her head: "No." According to the recent weather, it has to ferment for two days first. I'm going to have to come back again. ”
Jiao Yanrong was sulking: "I finally came out for a trip, and I was ruined!" She looked at her two sisters carrying a basket of grapes, and her mouth was about to cry, "I'm going to pick grapes too!" ”
Fang Changgeng saw that her face was pale and very pitiful, and he was very distressed, and coaxed: "Good Yanyan, didn't you listen to your eldest sister?" I'll have to come back again in two days, and my dad will bring you over again. ”
Jiao Yanrong burst into tears and laughed: "Dad, this can be said." She remembered something, and shouted, "When the time comes, Yan Yan will also wear men's clothes!" ”
Fang Changgeng was entangled and couldn't do anything, so he sighed helplessly: "I clearly raised three daughters who are like flowers and jade, and in the blink of an eye, I have become three stinky boys." What a ......."
Jiao Yanrong was unrelenting: "Dad, you stink." My sisters and I are fragrant! ”
A room full of people couldn't help but laugh.
Back in the house, Jiao was waiting for everyone in the side hall.
She had been uncertain for a day, and when she saw a few people coming back, she was relieved and at the same time, there was an unspeakable sourness.
Mrs. Qin has a strong eye, and she took the lead in welcoming her, hugging Jiao Yanrong and feeling distressed: "Oh, little miss, what's wrong, how can you look at people who don't have much energy when you go out for a day?" ”
In order not to worry Jiao's, a few people discussed this matter when they were in the car and did not tell Jiao's.
Jiao Yanrong showed a big smile and said, "Mama, you're too worried about me, I'm very energetic." ”
Jiao Shi carefully observed his little daughter, and saw that although her face was a little pale, she was still very energetic between her words, thinking that she was tired from riding in the car. She beckoned Jiao Yanrong over, hugged Jiao Yanrong and said, "Yanyan told her mother, are you having fun on the farm today?" ”
Fang Changgeng was afraid that his youngest daughter would say that he would reveal the stuffing, so he gave Jiao Yanrong a look.
There is quite a tacit understanding between father and daughter, and Jiao Yanrong threw this job to Fang Hanniang with understanding: "Oh, mother, I'm so tired from taking the car." Can you ask your eldest sister to tell you about wine? ”
This is exactly what Jiao is most concerned about!
Jiao Shi looked at Fang Hanniang.
Fang Hanniang smiled and said: "Aunt Jiao, don't worry, I took a look, the grapes are very good, the ripeness is enough, sweet and delicious, and they are just the best materials for making wine." ”
This is obviously not what Jiao wanted to hear.
She pretended to be low on energy and rubbed the sun**.
This is the code agreed between Jiao's and Mrs. Qin.
After all, she didn't want to be that vicious stepmother, someone had to say the ugly things for her.
When Mrs. Qin saw Jiao's like this, she also had an idea in her heart, and said, "Oh, I said that the eldest lady, the old woman has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
Fang Hanniang didn't eat her set, she saw Mrs. Qin say this, and smiled slightly: "Then Mama Qin won't say it." ”
Mrs. Qin was choked by Fang Hanniang's soft nails.
The smile on her face froze, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Fang Hanniang ignored her, turned around and instructed the little maid to take the grapes they brought back and wash them.
Fang Changgeng smiled and said to Jiao's: "This is picked by the children themselves, which can be regarded as a piece of filial piety." Madame will taste a few in a while. ”
Jiao Shi smiled softly and nodded.
Mrs. Qin looked at the gap, and unyieldingly opened her mouth with a smile: "...... Miss, the old woman thought about it and felt that it was better to talk about it. After all, the old woman has been in Jiaofu for decades, and she is loyal to the house. Even if the eldest lady thinks that my mother-in-law is noisy, the old woman will not vomit or be unhappy. ”
When the words came to this, Fang Hanniang straightened up and looked at Mrs. Qin with a smile: "Mama, are you saying that I did something wrong that makes you unable to see it?" Otherwise, how can you let Mama Qin 'not vomit and be unhappy'? ”
Fang Changgeng also looked at Mrs. Qin, his eyes unpleasant.
In his opinion, the eldest daughter had been working hard outside for a day, and as soon as she returned to the house, she was relied on by the old slaves in the house to sell her old education, and he felt a little aggrieved when he thought about it for his eldest daughter.
But this is the right-hand man by his wife's side, so he doesn't have much to say.
Seeing Fang Changgeng's unhappy expression, Jiao Shi hurriedly said, "I guess there was a misunderstanding, right?" ”
Mrs. Qin has always known that Fang Hanniang is very sharp-toothed, but she also knows that Fang Hanniang is a good-tempered person, where did she think that Fang Hanniang would hold on to the words in her words like this?
Of course, Mrs. Qin didn't know that Fang Hanniang had always tolerated Jiao's demons, that was because Jiao was her father's wife and her sister's mother-in-law, she didn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, so naturally she would not be mean and aggressive. But to put it mildly, what is Mrs. Qin? She dared to jump out and want to slap her Fang Hanniang's face, so she naturally wanted to be good, ruthless, and pull back according to her face.
Mrs. Qin was a little dumbfounded, but when it came to this, she said stubbornly: "...... The eldest lady said seriously. The old slave just wanted to ask, the wine brewing method has always been kept by the palace brewing bureau, the eldest lady said that she had seen it from an ancient book, which ancient book was it? The eldest lady must know that the grapes of the thousand acres of Zhuangzi are not a small number. If you don't try it, just go directly to the Zhuangzi to brew it, in case it doesn't work out...... The old slave didn't mean anything else, but he felt sorry for the hard work of those tenant farmers in the past two years. ”
Fang Hanniang sneered in her heart.
It's not that she doesn't know that if she doesn't make wine with those grapes in the farm, she will end up rotting in the ground at that time.
This Qin Pozi is really ......
Fang Hanniang glanced at Jiao's who was sipping tea with his head down.
She naturally knew that it would be strange for Mrs. Qin to dare to jump out and say such a thing without Jiao's permission!
Fang Hanniang made a look of not much certainty, and said with a hesitant expression: "What Mama Qin said is true." I was just at a bookstall somewhere in town, and I saw an old book, and I thought it was interesting to read it a few times, and I remembered this method. Whether it can be done or not, I don't know in my heart. But anyway, it's good that the grapes rot in the ground, right? ”
Fang Changgeng nodded: "What Han Niang said is true." ”
In fact, he also thinks that there is nothing wrong with letting his daughter try grape winemaking than rotting in the ground.
Back then, when grapes were still a precious thing, didn't his father-in-law try it many times?
Jiao Shi smiled lightly on his face, but he was angry in his heart.
Mrs. Qin said anxiously: "That means that the eldest lady has no bottom in her heart?" The eldest lady really doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, those grapes, to say the least, can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, you just take it and waste it...... Pity our lady......"
A few thousand taels of silver? Fang Hanniang smiled, Mrs. Qin didn't know how to count when she didn't count? Is it interesting that she used the price of grapes a few years ago when they were in full swing? What's more, not to mention selling all the grapes on the Zhuangzi, it is very difficult to sell a quarter. How did this Qin Pozi calculate thousands of taels?
Jiao scolded: "Mama Qin, shut up!" ”
Mrs. Qin knelt down in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, startling Fang Changgeng.
Jiao Yanrong was originally leaning on Jiao's side and eating dim sum, but when she saw Qin Pozi kneeling down so suddenly, she was also startled, and hurriedly wrapped the dim sum in her hand into a handkerchief and put it on the table, and stepped forward to help Qin Pozi: "Mama, what are you doing here?" ”
Mrs. Qin kowtowed to Fang Changgeng, and then kowtowed in the direction of Jiao Yanrong and Jiao's, and when she raised her head, her eyes were full of tears, and her lips trembled slightly: "Master, Mrs. doesn't let the old slave say these words, but the old slave really can't hold it back today, and he doesn't vomit unpleasantly...... Master, although our house has been getting better and better in the past few years, Madame has never been stingy with you and a few young masters, and nothing has been left behind in jewelry, clothes, and books. But you are busy with business, and you probably didn't notice that your wife hadn't made new clothes or bought new jewelry for a year...... Mrs. often said that the family used to be difficult, but now that the situation is better, we can't forget the past, and living a life is to open up sources and reduce expenditure. But Madame was reluctant to deduct your use, so she deducted her own use...... Madam, ma'am, it's not easy for her to run a house. ”
Mrs. Qin's confession of loyalty made Fang Changgeng shocked and guilty, he used to wear looser homely clothes from time to time, and he rarely went out, but he didn't pay attention to it, Jiao's had not bought clothes and jewelry for so long.
The guilt of the Jiao family was overwhelming, and Fang Changgeng was overwhelmed.
Jiao Shi frowned and looked at Mrs. Qin: "Mama, get up, who told you to say this?" I have clothes and jewelry, what do I do with those unjust dollars? ”
Fang Changgeng saw that Jiao was still saying this, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.
