"Shh Tang Shiyue put the venison back into the house, closed the firewood door again, washed her hands in the basin, and pulled her worried little brother in: "Don't worry, it's from the village, we hunted a deer together on the mountain today, and discussed half of one person, I'm afraid that there will be many people during the day, and if there is something bad to say, I sent it to me at night." ”

Tang Shirong still looked serious: "What's his name?" How did you meet? ”

"I don't know," Tang Shiyue said innocently: "It seems to be surnamed Qi, right?" ”

When Tang Shirong heard that she didn't even know her name, his expression softened a little, and he didn't ask any more questions.

Tang Shiyue walked around behind him, dried his hair with a scarf, and asked, "Brother, how are you doing these days?" Why did you ask Tang Junchen to bring the money back? I don't need it at all! ”

Tang Shirong only smiled and didn't answer, and Tang Shiyue said casually: "I think Fourth Uncle Tang's family is quite good, do you have a good relationship with Tang Junchen?" ”

Tang Shirong hesitated. Tang Shiyue tilted his body to look at him: "Brother? Brother? ”

He was amused by her strange posture, tapped her head lightly, and said, "The relationship is good...... At first, the relationship was not good, but after making friends, I felt that it was a good deed......"

He said vaguely for a long time, and Tang Shiyue finally understood.

In fact, what he meant was that Tang Junchen took the initiative to befriend him at the beginning, not because he had similar interests, but because he felt that he would achieve something in the future, that is, he thought he was a potential stock.

And he didn't like such a utilitarian friendship, and secondly, he was afraid of living up to such high expectations, so he didn't have anything to do with him until the night they were kicked out, and he went down desperately to ask him for help, which was equivalent to taking his olive branch, and the two began to correspond.

After all, Tang Shiyue was a person who had rolled in Vanity Fair, and he quickly understood what he meant.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother, if you think so, some scholars are angry." ”

Tang Shirong was stunned, he didn't care because the words came from the mouth of the younger sister, but asked solemnly: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Let me put it this way, the rich people in the world, at least half of the people who build bridges and pave roads are out of fame, how many people can really do good deeds? But at this time, if you are a parent and an official, and building bridges and paving roads is beneficial to the people, do you not accept it because the person who paid for it has the intention of selling fame and reputation? ”

Tang Shirong was dumbfounded.

She continued: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, in fact, I think it is not a big deal to sell fame and reputation, people are selfish, it is a bad person who harms others, it is a bad person who harms others, and it is a bad person who harms others, and it is a bad person who does not harm people, in fact, even if it is a good person, I think more than half of them are fools." ”

These words were indeed deafening to the little scholar, but she still felt that she should have taught him this truth as soon as possible.

A person who can be a scholar may not necessarily be a person, nor will he necessarily be an official, she only hopes that even if Tang Shirong is not a person who can be an official, at least he is a person who can be a person, after all, he is not a child of a family, and there is no family behind him, even if he really wins the Toad Palace one day, he can only rely on himself. High emotional intelligence, strong than ability in the workplace is useful.

Tang Shirong thought deeply.

Seeing the little boy sitting under the moon with his hair scattered, only wearing a middle coat, revealing his thin arms, he felt that he was pitiful and thin, the three children in the third room, including herself, were not in good health, and when they had silver, they had to make up for it.

The next day, the brother and sister worked together to cut the venison into pieces and make venison jerky in the same way as beef jerky.

In addition to sugar, salt, wine, plums, sauce, ginger, green onions, garlic, pepper, peppercorns, etc., the seasoning is very complete, the last time she went to the town, she bought some of all kinds of things, and a cup of venison jerky was very delicious.

Tang Shiyue was busy all morning, freed his hands, and prepared to go to the small wine shop to buy a few wine jars to use as meat cups.

As soon as I went out, I saw a new carriage parked at the door of the Tang family's mansion, surrounded by a few children, and Mrs. Zhou of the wine shop was also leaning against the door and watching, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and said, "Yue'er." ”

Tang Shiyue said what she meant, and Zhou Niangzi said with a smile: "A few wine jars, they are also dusty when they are placed in vain, what kind of money do you want, you kid just see the outside." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Tang Shiyue didn't prevaricate much, "Then I'll go back and do it, and take a jar to invite my aunt to eat." ”

She didn't open her mouth to ask, but Zhou Niangzi couldn't help it, and said with a smile: "Your fourth uncle's new daughter-in-law came to the door, I just glanced at it, what a rich girl." ”

She made a look of interest: "Oh? Long Ke Jun? ”

"How can I say it," Zhou Niangzi was not embarrassed, and said vaguely: "The size and body are a bit like the camellia of the Chen family, but Bai Shengsheng is very handsome, and the butt is also big, so you will be blessed when you look at it." The clothes are really rich, the ones you wear, the gold and silver, they all dazzle me! ”

She smacked her tongue and lowered her voice: "I heard that she is the only daughter of a big man in the town, and she grew up with a thousand pets, if you can marry such a noble daughter-in-law, your family will be wiped out." ”

Aged camellia? Tang Shiyue thought hard for a long time, and finally remembered what she looked like.

Basically, it's more than one meter and six meters, one hundred and sixty pounds...... Tang Yongming has never been good at this, and it seems that he has fought hard for the sake of wealth.

The two walked inside while chatting, and as soon as they entered, Tang Shiyue smelled a smell of sake lees.

Zhou Niangzi went in and brought her a few jars out, Tang Shiyue saw that there were still some sealed wines against the wall, so she said casually: "So much, haven't you sold them yet?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Zhou Niangzi's hearty face also sank: "It's not easy to sell, now the restaurants in the town are not accepted, and our head of the house carries the burden to the villages every day to sell it, and the sake can only be sold as turbid wine, and it can't even be sold for money." ”

Tang Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the situation when he went back to the town and went to Yunlai Restaurant.

Zhou Niangzi came out with the jar, scrubbed it hastily by the water tank a few times, and then tied it with a straw rope.

Tang Shiyue paced inadvertently, glanced at the utensils in the courtyard, and suddenly his heart moved.

In this era, in fact, the wine-making technology is still very underdeveloped, generally it is to use koji, rice, and water to put into the wine urn in proportion, and then seal the altar, generally to open the altar in three months, before opening the altar, to add a small amount of lime, plant ash, to prevent excessive fermentation.

Then it is filtered, and the clear part is sake, and the sake lees that remain are cloudy sake.

But in order to sell it, it is necessary to "boil sake", that is, slowly burn it over low heat, heat it up, and then make it into a liquor that can be sold, called shochu, also called shochu.

It turns out that the Great Yan Dynasty did not have distillation technology......

With this ordinary wine-making technique, the liquor produced is only about ten degrees, and with a distiller, it can reach at least fifty or sixty degrees, which is a qualitative leap.

It's just that this kind of epoch-making progress is absolutely unaffordable for a village winery, but it can be improved a little first, and everyone can earn it together.

Tang Shiyue took this matter to heart, thanked Mrs. Zhou, and went out with the jar.
