Chapter Twenty-Eight: Finding New Ways to Make Money

The sky was not yet bright, and there was still a damp cold air in the air, but Lin Muqiu had already gotten up.

She worked tirelessly, cooked on the fire, and then hurriedly sent Jing'er to Aunt Lin's house.

Since Shen Dashan already knew about this last night, Shen Yuerong also said that she didn't mind, so she didn't have any scruples.

When he came back after sending Jing'er, he hurriedly took a bite of food and hurried towards the mountain.

Yesterday, I was busy all day and didn't pick more wolfberries from my sister and brother, so I must catch up with my sister and brother today and pick more.

It is necessary to finish picking the wolfberries quickly, so that the two money-losing goods can't pick the wolfberries and can't make money.

When the time comes, I can sell more money, buy some good food, and then make up for my mother's family.

Shen Nianhua saw that his stepmother was so energetic in picking wolfberries, and he was also a little anxious.

"Sister, let's hurry up and go up the mountain!"

Shen Nianhua's two eyebrows were furrowed together, and his face was uneasy and anxious.

"Nian'er, we won't pick wolfberries today, let's pick and dry yesterday first."

Shen Yuerong didn't have any anxious look on her face, but was very calm.

She took out the bamboo dustpan and the wolfberries she picked yesterday and prepared to dry them.

"But sister, the stepmother has already gone up the mountain, and if we don't go, we will be picked up by the stepmother!"

Shen Nianhua became more and more anxious, Bai Xi's little face was red in a hurry, and his mouth was pursed.

Shen Yuerong took the bamboo dustpan to the yard and explained to her younger brother who was following behind: "It's okay, she can pick it if she wants, you come over and help dry the wolfberries." ”

Shen Nianhua was puzzled, but he could still listen to what his sister said, so he didn't say anything, and stepped forward to help his sister dry the wolfberries.

"Sister, if the stepmother picks all the wolfberries, what will we do in the future?" Shen Nianhua's heart was like being scratched by a cat, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, my sister doesn't plan to sell wolfberries for a long time, twenty-five yuan a catty, and I can't make any money from such hard work."

Shen Yuerong lowered her head and sprinkled wolfberries evenly on the bamboo dustpan while explaining to her younger brother.

"But if we don't pick the goji berries, there will be no goji berries to sell in the pharmacy. Now the stepmother is willing to pick it, and in the future, let the stepmother go to the pharmacy to provide wolfberries. ”

Only then did Shen Nianhua understand why his sister had not stopped his mother from picking wolfberries.

"But sister, what are we going to do in the future? What are we going to do to make money? ”

Shen Yuerong saw her younger brother asking what she was going to do to make money in the future, and her two beautiful eyebrows were raised.

The wolfberries are almost spread, and Lin Muqiu is not afraid that someone will be a demon when he is not at home.

She clapped her hands, pulled her brother and went out the door.

"Let's go buy some soju first!"

In fact, she has been thinking about this for the past two days.

The climate in Maple Grove is actually quite good, with a warm and wet climate, plenty of sunshine and plenty of rain.

A wide range of grains are grown here, and the production of grains such as rice and sorghum is also good.

The climate is also suitable for sake brewing, so there are many places where sake is sold.

And a large part of the hard-working villagers also like to take a sip to relieve fatigue.

The lord of a wealthy family prefers to drink a sip of good wine, which is called Qiong Jelly and Jade Dew.

In this era, due to the immaturity of wine-making technology, the concentration of wine is low, basically below 20 degrees, and some even only a few degrees.

People who drink in this way will always be unaddicted to alcohol and will not get drunk so easily.

Shen Yuerong took her younger brother to the village entrance market and spent a lot of money to buy a jar of ordinary sorghum wine.

The people in the small market were pointing at their siblings.

This Shen Dashan is not good at drinking, why does this Shen family girl buy so much wine?

The siblings struggled to carry the wine to the yard, exhausted and panting.

"Sister, what are we going to do when we buy so much wine and come back?"

Shen Nianhua's face was flushed, his nose was panting, and he picked up his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his face.

"We're going to make goji wine today."

Shen Yuerong was also out of breath, this sorghum wine was only ten catties, but the jar had to be twenty catties.

It's really tired enough, but fortunately, the market is not far from home.

Goji berry wine is very nutritious and has more sugar, which can replenish deficiency and eliminate fatigue.

It also has anti-aging effects, can nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish lean blood, and treat a variety of diseases.

There are too many poor people here, but there are not no rich people.

Especially the Zhao landlord who is fifty years old and still wants to marry the third concubine, there must be more than one or two such people in the town.

If the brewing of wolfberry wine is successful, sell it to them, and the income is still considerable.

Shen Yuerong took out the dried wolfberries that had been dried yesterday and poured them on a clean bamboo dustpan.

Careful selection began.

She picked out the intact and plump fruits, set them aside, and after a while, she picked out about a pound and a half.

"Nian'er, go and help my sister get a pair of scissors."

Shen Nianhua ran into the kitchen with a sigh, and ran out with scissors after a while.

"Sister, what are you going to do with scissors?"

"Sister is going to dry these good wolfberries and cut them into pieces!"

Shen Yuerong got started as she spoke, and began to cut and dry wolfberries.

She picks up a goji berry and cuts it into tiny pieces with scissors.

Shen Nianhua understood his sister's operation and ran to the kitchen again.

He also took a pair of scissors, sat next to his sister, and helped cut the dried goji berries.

When the sisters and brothers had almost cut the wolfberries, Shen Yuerong opened the wine jar, and a thick aroma of wine wafted out.

Although the alcohol content of this era is very low, it smells really good!

It's not easy to get drunk, and it's fragrant, but don't you drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?

She threw the cut wolfberries into the wine.

"Sister, is this how wolfberry wine is made?"

Shen Nianhua watched his sister's operation and only felt magical.

Just throw the wolfberry into the wine, so simple wolfberry wine is ready? It's too easy, isn't it?

Shen Yuerong covered the wine jar and turned to his younger brother: "This is how wolfberry wine is made, but it will take some time, and we will sell it when it is finished." ”

In fact, it is best to buy soju for brewing wolfberry wine, but there is no soju sold in the village, it is too far to go to the town, and it is too expensive.

There are three hangs of money on his body, and he can't buy more than half a jar of soju.

At that time, if it can't be brewed or sold, it will be a big loss.

This sorghum wine is a good choice, cheap and affordable, although it is not as smooth as the taste of soju, but the aroma and smell are not bad.

Most of the town's ordinary residents also drink this affordable sorghum wine.

The sister and brother worked hard to bring the sorghum wine with wolfberries into the house and cover it tightly.

The smell of wine could not be dissipated at all, and it was placed in the corner of the room.

"Nian'er, you just wait for your sister to sell wine and send you to school!"
