Thinking about it again, the old Xu family has silver, no matter how many students are sent out to take the exam, it is not a problem, and it is not bad for the money to apply for the exam.

It's not like ordinary people, cautious and cautious.

Xu Jiaojiao was at the entrance of the village with everyone, and she went back when she saw that the ox cart that was sending people off the exam had gone far away.

In the next few days, she plans to try the brewing of sorghum wine. Aromatize the corn and barley wine, and try a batch in separate packs.

There are many kinds of grains that can be used to make wine, and if you use different grains to brew, the results will be different and have their own characteristics.

For example, sorghum wine is fragrant, corn wine is sweet, wheat wine is rough, glutinous rice wine cotton, rice wine is clean......

Xu Jiaojiao used to basically use rice to brew, rice has high starch content, less protein and fat content, and the wine quality is purer and less miscellaneous flavor.

Of course, it is also because rice is relatively easy to obtain. Xujia Village is dozens of miles in radius, and most of them are planted with rice.

But if you want to say which wine is the most mellow, the most easily recognized and loved, you have to count sorghum wine.

There is a saying that good wine is inseparable from red grain. The red grain here refers to sorghum.

Looking at those famous wines, all of them use sorghum as the raw material for winemaking. As Xu Jiaojiao knows, there are Moutai, XX Laojiao, etc. The ratio of the five grains of Wuliangye is 36% sorghum, 22% rice, 18% glutinous rice, 16% wheat, and 8% corn, and sorghum accounts for the majority.

In short, if the winery wants to become bigger and stronger, it can't do without sorghum.

Xu Jiaojiao naturally couldn't give up this wine. There are hundreds of so-called people, all kinds of people, each with their own preferences and tastes, and it is impossible for her to make only one kind of rice wine.

There is a unique aroma substance in sorghum seeds, which can increase the aromatic flavor of baijiu. The wine made from sorghum is crystal mellow, the aroma is long, the taste is mellow, the taste is fragrant and long, the flavors are harmonious, just right, and it has a unique style of comprehensive flavor.

Good wine made of sorghum!

It's not nonsense.

As for the raw materials, there are few locally grown sorghum and even fewer red sorghum suitable for winemaking, but as long as she starts to make stable purchases in the future, I believe that someone will plant it. And sorghum is a very easy thing to grow, much easier to serve than rice. The reason why not many people are willing to plant is because sorghum rice is not as good as rice, and it is not as delicious as rice, but if sorghum can be sold at a good price in the future, I am afraid that no one will plant it?

None of this is a problem.

Now that Xu Jiaojiao has a little red sorghum in her hand, she can try it first.

In addition, there is also the packaging of sorghum wine, which should also be distinguished.

This Xu Jiaojiao already has a little idea, and has already tried it.

For example, on the gourd, print some simple floral patterns or something, the tools and production are very simple. For example, take a wire, burn it red and burn it on the gourd, which is the stem of the flowers and plants, and then come to these several lines, and a flower sketch is completed, which is very simple.

Or simply use a pen to depict, after drying, and then brush with tung oil, yellow and clear, with freehand flower sketches, it is also quite classy.

In this regard, she asked the second and third to follow and do some, although limited to the eye, they can't draw much interesting patterns, but follow the existing drawing, it's almost okay, and it will be good to be proficient in the future.

Xu Jiaojiao thought about the Tong Shengtu in her heart, and remembered these things, and her steps couldn't help but speed up.

……

***

Yao's cleaned up a lot of things, the wages and silver saved by the old Xu family in ordinary times, as well as two gourds Qingxi Xu wine, some fresh vegetables just picked in the vegetable garden, eggs at home, and some sweet potatoes and dried potatoes and the like, Xu Youde specially brought a large number of preserved pig's trotters, and let him take them to make up for Da Lang's body, and he was about to take the Xiucai exam, so he should eat something good.

also saved a few pieces of cloth, when Xu Jiaojiao got married, Yao's did things hard, she was Xu Jiaojiao's eldest sister-in-law, and she was an eight-sided and delicate talking character, and the relatives and friends who received the female dependents were satisfied, Xu Zhang's was happy, and he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, and afterwards, he gave her two pieces of cloth, which were men's fabrics, and she planned to make a new dress for Da Lang and Xu Darong.

Xu Jiaojiao's makeup fabric is too much, she helped Xu Jiaojiao tidy up, what fabric and what color are suitable for what clothes, she made a suggestion again, Xu Jiaojiao felt very reasonable, and gave her two pieces of fabric, or let her pick it herself, she didn't dare to pick the most expensive one, picked a medium, and it was quite good, the popular style in Dafu City, this is for the big girl, the big girl hasn't seen her for a long time, and she wants to panic, and when the time comes, she will make two new clothes for the big girl, so that she can wear it when she goes on a blind date, and her face will rise.

……

In short, there are a lot of them.

In the past, the conditions at home were not good, but if you take a little something, it is like cutting the meat of the old Xu family.

Now that the old Xu family has plenty of money, there are more casual leaks than before, and no one is blushing anymore and saying more.

This made the Yao family look down on the old Xu family, the Yao family in the past looked down on the old Xu family, what kind of poverty had become, and this also paid attention to that, I didn't want to come back every year for the New Year, the family conditions were poor, and I had to serve my in-laws, I couldn't even afford to eat white flour, eat rough grain, not to mention meat, fish, meat or something.

Take some local products at home or something to look up to the old Xu family, but as a result, the old Xu family is like cutting meat, and the Yao family is very unwelcome.

Now, the Yao family doesn't think like this, now the old Xu family is the foundation of their big house, and their big house is the grandson of the old Xu family, and it will definitely return to its roots in the future.

He is also a lot kind to Lao Xu's family.

In the past, when she looked at them, she had some of the shelves of the talented lady, and she had a kind of lofty idea, but now she didn't dare, she was docile and kind, and she didn't dare to play small ideas casually, so she was careful.

Yao secretly decided that after returning home, he must change the concept of the eldest man and the eldest girl, respect and filial piety to the grandmother, and be kind to the cousins and sisters.

……

Yao took a carriage back to the county seat in the town, but because it was a temporary talk, he came back in a hurry, and did not send a letter to the county seat in advance.

I went home directly with a large bag and a small bag.

The door is hidden, there should be someone in the house, Yao is about to call loudly, let the old mother come to help her carry things or something.

Suddenly, the woman's instinct silenced her, put everything at the door, and pushed the door herself.

The courtyard outside is a little quiet, it seems that the door of the big girl's room is closed, this girl should not be at home.

Listening closely, there was a strange woman's voice coming from the upper room.

Yao is a person who has come over, and when he heard this voice, he only felt red-faced, and he didn't understand what the people inside were doing......

Go to the room!

Yao's eyelids jumped!

In the upper room is her and Xu Darong's bedroom!

How could such a sound come from?
