Chapter 32: Be careful
It took two days to pick all the grapes in the area.
Aunt Wang came over to take a look out of curiosity, and when she saw the grapes, she said: Xiaoyun, you went up the mountain to pick this today? This thing is not delicious, it is sour and astringent, and it is used to feed pigs and pigs!"
Chu Xinyun smiled and said: "Auntie, I don't pick this thing for eating, it's for brewing, do you know where to buy a slightly larger jar in the bazaar?"
"Then you have to go to the first one on East Street, his cans are of good quality and cheap, and his eldest son is still a matchmaker I helped make, you can report my name when you go, it is estimated that it can be cheaper."
"Good! Thank you, auntie!"
Now that the weather is hot, the grapes can't be stored at home, so Chu Xinyun went to the town to buy three large jars that day and came back, ready to make this wine overnight.
The washed grapes are dried and mashed, spread on the bottom of the vat, sprinkled with sugar, then spread another layer and sprinkled with sugar until the jar is full, then the mouth is closed and tightened, and the fermentation is slow.
The rest of the grapes were made in this way, and the two worked from noon until dark, and finally put all the grapes in the jar.
The wine making time is generally about one to three weeks, and she counted a total of 120 catties of wild grapes picked this time, and at least 90 catties of wine can be obtained.
There are still green grapes hanging in some parts of the mountain, and if the wine is good this time, it will not be too late for her to plant and keep the seeds.
It's just that if you want to sell it later, this packaging is a big problem......
The glass bottles that can be seen everywhere in modern times are completely invisible here.
During the meal, she complained and seemed to have to tell Xiao Shu about it, and although the latter didn't squeak, she kept it in her heart.
On this day, Xiao Shu went to Yunjian Restaurant to deliver today's sweet potatoes, and faintly felt that someone was following him behind him, but he couldn't see anyone when he looked back.
Xiao San, who was hiding in the shadows, patted his chest with palpitations, and said secretly: Although the boss has amnesia, this amazing intuition has not changed at all!
Then he went back and discussed with the other brothers, and they all agreed to recognize the boss.
Now the capital seems to be calm, but secretly it is turbulent, especially after the boss investigates the disappearance of King Jing, the situation in the capital is becoming more and more dangerous.
They must get the boss back as soon as possible, otherwise not only will His Majesty's safety not be guaranteed, but even their heads will not be saved.
Everyone acted as soon as possible, and set off for Chujia Village in the vast night.
It was getting dark, and the villagers who had had had eaten dinner were singing early, and there was no sound around them except for the chirping of frogs.
Chu Xinyun has been busy physically and mentally for the past few days, and went to bed early, leaving Xiao Shu still packing up in the yard Suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, and several figures stood on the originally empty wall, and the summer breeze blew by, Xiao Shu gradually clenched his fists......
But who knew that these people jumped off the wall and knelt in front of him with a "plop", and said in unison: "See the boss!"
"..._" Xiao Kill's tense figure froze in place.
He thought that these people were in the same group as the Assassins last time, but he didn't expect them..... What's going on?
Xiao San felt this embarrassing atmosphere, took the initiative to hand over the jade pendant pawned back from the pawnshop, and said respectfully: "Boss! This is the jade pendant you pawned before, we have redeemed it for you, and please keep it carefully. ”
Xiao Shu recognized the jade pendant but didn't reach out to take it, but asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Back to the boss, we are the secret guards of the current saint one, and you are our head," Xiao Qi said: "Before you were sent by Your Majesty to investigate King Jing's hidden private soldiers, you never returned, and your subordinates were worried that you had encountered a poisonous hand and came out to find someone. ”
Hearing this answer, Xiao Shu's tense face relaxed slightly, but he was naturally vigilant and would not believe it so easily.
He suddenly remembered what Chu Xinyun complained to him about at dinner, and said tentatively: "Since you say that I am your head, can I order you to do anything?"
Xiao San nodded and said, "As long as the order is given by the head, the subordinates will definitely do their best!"
He coughed lightly and said, "Well, I need a batch of glass bottles recently, if you can find them for me, then I can trust you a little." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a big doubt hidden in their small eyes, is this really their old boss who was not smiling and ruthless?
If they remember correctly, this glass jar should be what Little Lady Chu needs, right?
Is this considered a fake public economy to enrich one's own pockets?
Although they thought so in their hearts, a few people didn't dare to reveal half a point, and the junior took the lead and agreed to the errand, saying that he would send the glass jar over in a few days.
After saying that, a few people left, leaving only Xiao Kill to stand in place for a long time without coming back to his senses.
He slept stumbling this night, and some inexplicable images always flashed in his dreams, and he woke up from his dreams several times, and then tossed and turned until it was almost dawn before he barely fell asleep.
Regarding this time, he decided to keep it secret and not let Xiao Yun know for the time being, after all, this identity is relatively involved, and he doesn't want Xiao Yun to worry about him.
A few days later, Xiao Shu received a message from Xiao San, asking him to meet him in an alley, saying that he had bought a glass jar and invited him to come over and have a look.
Xiao Kill excused himself by saying that he was going to the town to buy something, but Chu Xinyun let him go without paying attention.
After arriving at the agreed place, Xiao San and Xiaoqi have been waiting for a long time.
"Boss, this is the glass jar you want, are you satisfied?" As he spoke, he lifted the tarpaulin on the trailer, revealing ten transparent glass bottles.
Xiao Shu picked up one and looked at it, it was the first time he had seen a bottle of this material, and the transparent bottle wall could clearly see what was inside, which was very different from the clay pot he usually used at home.
He nodded, "Very good." ”
Only then did Xiao San and the others show a slight smile on their faces, and it was worth it to praise them for breaking their legs.
In the evening, Chu Xinyun received the glass bottle that he had in mind, and he couldn't put it down and looked at it lovingly.
In order to find this glass bottle, she searched all over the town and the county, and there was no shadow at all.
She couldn't help but ask, "Where did you buy Xiao Kill?"
"When I went to the town today, I saw someone coming to do business, so I went over curiously to take a look, and I saw this glass bottle."
"Fanren?" As soon as she heard this word, her eyes lit up, and the memory of the original body told her that the Fanren were merchants from other countries, and they basically traveled through mountains and rivers to sell their own country's goods to other countries.
The things you bring are generally rare things that are not available in your own country, after all, the products are different from country to country, and you can always find some good things.
"Are they still in town?" Chu Xinyun has always been thinking about his kimchi, but unfortunately he lacks red peppers, and this kimchi is equivalent to losing his soul.
Since there are merchants from other countries, there may be chili seeds for sale, so you should try your luck.
Xiao Shu was a little at a loss for a while, this was originally made up by him in a hurry, but he didn't expect Xiao Yun to be interested in Fanren, so he had to say vaguely at the moment, "They were just passing by here, and they weren't there in the afternoon...."
"That's a shame." Chu Xinyun was a little disappointed, feeling that he had passed by a lot of treasures again.
Xiao Shu couldn't bear her to be lost, so he had to comfort: "I heard that they said that they will come later, and we will look for it when the time comes."
"Okay."
Chu Xinyun nodded, and continued to look at the newly arrived glass bottles, with these, then his own wine would be useful.
Three days have passed since the last time the altar was installed, and at this time you need to open it to see the fermentation situation, stir it with clean chopsticks and then seal it, and wait until the next time you open it to drink.
Chu Xinyun checked the fermentation of the wine one by one, and the thin peel and flesh had gradually been dissolved by the sugar and oozing out of the juice inside, and the fermentation was very good.
She went to Yunjian Restaurant for a day, and probably talked to the shopkeeper Xu about the wine, and when she heard that she was about to produce a wine here, the shopkeeper Xu was very surprised.
"Little lady, do you know that this koji trade needs the permission of the government?"
Chu Xinyun said with a smile: "The shopkeeper is too worried, I don't need koji to make this wine, it is made from wild grapes in the mountains with sugar, but I am also in the experiment now, if it can be sold as a new thing." ”
Shopkeeper Xu was happy when he heard it: "The little lady is true, what this restaurant wants is to bring forth the new, if this wine is really done, then we will cooperate again." ”
"When the time comes, I will definitely give it to the school cabinet in advance!"
"Thank you very much!"
And Xiao Shu, who used the excuse of going to buy something else, contacted Xiao San and them as soon as possible.
Seeing that the boss took the initiative to come, Xiao San was very happy and hurriedly greeted the cold and asked for warmth.
Xiao Shu also informed a few people of the intention of this visit: "Do you have a way to find this person and trader?"
Xiao Qiyi Xin leaned over and said: "These people are everywhere in the capital, and they basically can't look down on this kind of small place, which is very rare." ”
This capital is the capital of a country, since it is a business, it is natural to go to a high place, the capital is more than the kings and grandchildren, generous, see what novelty to buy to see, just make some money is enough.
As for a remote place like Qingshui Town, Fanren traders basically can't look at it.
There's no money to be made, and whoever comes so far is a fool.
It is conceivable how sad Xiao Yun will be.
"Is there a way to bring some vendors here?" Xiao Kill asked a little cautiously when he said this.
Xiao Qi was a little stunned after hearing this, scratched his head and asked, "Does the boss want to do business with Fanren?"
Xiao Shu looked at the sky with a sad expression: "It's not that I want to do business with them, it's just.... Forget it, can you get this vendor?"
Xiao San thought about the method, nodded and said: "If the boss needs it, we naturally have a way, but this time will be a little longer, about three to five days.. Does it matter if the boss wants it?"
Xiao Shu was hopeless, but when he heard him say this, he nodded: "It's okay with this time, it's acceptable later, just do your best." ”
"Okay, boss, you'll be waiting at home for news."
After sending Xiao Kill away, Xiao Qi came over and asked: "Little San, aren't you kidding, these people are far away in the capital, how do you get them over?"
Xiao San glanced at him and snorted lightly: "Of course you can't think of a way to do it, look at me!"
That night, an eagle bird flew out of Qingshui Town and spread its wings in the direction of the capital.
A few days later, the eagle bird landed in a dark alley in the capital, and a figure looked around and saw that no one was there, so he untied the message on the eagle bird's leg.
"You mean the junior, they found the boss?"
In a remote courtyard, a man with a scar on his face was overjoyed when he heard the ticket report from his subordinates: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and let the boss come back!"
