"Xiang'er, Xiang'er, hurry up, let's go pick grapes......"

As soon as Lu Xiang'er, who was in a daze, heard this delicate and lovely voice, she pulled the quilt and covered herself all underneath. But the voice was like a magic sound, and it came to her ears clearly without changing a word. Lu Xiang'er had to sit up with a sad face and look at Zhao Xiu.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Lu family sent some wine to the Zhao family, and Uncle Zhao, who has always been good at wine, has liked this wine, and Zhao Xiu, who is extremely filial, has changed from picking mushrooms to picking grapes. It was also at this time that Lu Xianger learned that Zhao Xiu picked mushrooms because Uncle Zhao liked to eat mushroom stew. Now that Uncle Zhao likes wine again, Lu Xianger is 'cocooned and self-bound'.

Lu Hong, who came back from morning exercise, saw that Lu Xiang'er looked a little distressed with a painful look, so he smiled at Zhao Xiu and said, "Xiu'er, I'm not going to pick grapes today." There is no jar at home to make wine, so we plan to buy some jars in the county and take Xiang'er to visit by the way. ”

"Well, then I have to go up the mountain again tomorrow." Zhao Xiu was a little disappointed, but he understood that there was no jar and it was useless to pick too many grapes, so he said goodbye and left.

When Lu Xiang'er saw Zhao Xiu leaving, she smiled at Lu Hong and lay down and fell asleep, until an hour later, when the sky was bright, she got up full of energy. While washing by the well in the yard, Lu Xiang'er pondered about the changes she had made during this time. In addition to drowsiness, she also felt her alcohol consumption growing. Although Lu Erniang did not allow Lu Xianger and Lu Hong to drink wine frequently, Lu Xianger still found that her alcohol consumption was better and better every time.

I couldn't figure it out, Lu Xiang'er shook her head. After wiping her face, she didn't think about going down, but went to the mud room. Today's mud room is full of big jars, in addition to the Lu family, there are also the Zhao family and the Zou family. Since Zhao Xiu didn't pick mushrooms and picked grapes, he naturally couldn't hide the good Zou Yue. Therefore, after tasting the wine, the Zou family also brought a few small jars to ask Lu Xianger to make wine.

"Little wine lady, don't look at it. It's time for us to go to the county. Lu Erniang borrowed an ox cart from Cunzheng's house and parked at the gate of the courtyard, and Lu Hong, who had already prepared, immediately came over and picked up Lu Xiang'er. At the same time, he also stuffed two eggs into Lu Xianger's hand.

Lu Erniang saw Lu Hong's love for Lu Xiang'er, and her face was full of smiles: "Brother Hong, load some wine and put it in the car." Mr. Song said that the county lord is also a good drinker. ”

"Got it, A-Niang." Lu Hong nodded, turned around and took out a small sealed jar from the mud room. This jar wine is the first time that Lu Xiang'er has brewed, and the wine flavor is relatively strong, which is very suitable for people who are good at wine. When Lu Erniang saw this jar, she also nodded with satisfaction. After Lu Hong sat next to Lu Xiang'er, Lu Erniang set up an ox cart and headed towards the entrance of the village.

Looking at Lu Erniang's familiar car erection skills, it is difficult for Lu Xianger to imagine that this is Lu Erniang's first time setting up a car. While sighing that the Lu family was really smart, Lu Xiang'er ate the egg in her hand into her stomach. After eating, Lu Xiang'er clapped her hands and leaned on Lu Hong's body to look at the scenery along the way.

The last time she went to Qinghe Village from the county, Lu Xianger didn't care about her surroundings because she was in a bad spirit when she fled. This was the first time she had seen what the ancient farmland was like. At this time, it was almost October, and the rice, millet and other crops in the farmland were all golden. Driving on the gnawing dirt road, looking at the golden in the distance, Lu Xiang'er had an uncontrollable joy.

Lu Hong is also the same as Lu Xiang'er, and he also knows that there are also twenty acres of fertile land of their Lu family among these farmlands, and he is even more happy: "A-Niang, this year is a bumper harvest year, and our family's farmland can also harvest a lot." ”

"I guess so." Lu Erniang looked at the innermost farmland, and said a little absentmindedly: "Didn't you say that the army of that mountain has crossed the river?" In this war, food will definitely be tight. No matter how much you harvest, you can't save much. ”

"What A-Niang said is, I really didn't expect it." Turning around, Lu Hong looked at the mountain in the distance and remembered the young general who didn't know his name. After Lü Hong met the young general for the second time, he crossed the river with his army. After that, I heard from the gentleman of the school hall that all the armies of the court had arrived and officially crossed the river to quell the rebellion.

Lu Erniang was thinking about whether to save more food, Lu Hong was thinking about the young general, but Lu Xiang'er suddenly thought that before the end of the war, I was afraid that she would not be able to brew wine. There is a shortage of food, so there is still surplus grain to make wine. It looks like we have to keep making wine. However, the grape ripening season is also these two months. If you want to make money with wine, you have to make more wine and store more. Also, grapes can be used to make wine, as can other fruits.

At present, the people of Dazhou do not believe that grapes are not poisonous, so they can make some other fruit wines first. It is believed that because of the war, the price of alcohol will definitely rise. If fruit wine had been introduced at a lower price than grain wine at that time, it would have been popular with wine lovers. Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er couldn't stop the excitement in her heart.

Recalling that the Lu family's Piaoxiang Wine Workshop had also brewed fruit wine, Lu Xiang'er sat down next to Lu Erniang and asked, "Auntie, when Daddy was in Qianzhou, he also brewed fruit wine, did it sell well?" ”

"You want to sell wine?" Lu Erniang looked at Lu Xiang'er, and suddenly realized why she was making so much wine. Sighing in her heart that she was worthy of being the daughter of her brother Lu Tai, Lu Erniang recalled the situation of Piaoxiang Wine Workshop and said: "Piaoxiang Wine Workshop makes fruit wine, also because your father listened to what that Hu Shang said. However, at that time, your father had just come into contact with fruit wine, and it didn't taste very good, so it hadn't been sold yet. After that, it happens......"

Lu Erniang's voice gradually sank, and Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong both knew what happened next, so they didn't ask. In order not to make Lu Erniang sad, Lu Xiang'er diverted the topic: "A-Niang, in addition to Piaoxiang Wine Workshop, are there any other wine shops that make fruit wine?" ”

"Absolutely. However, those fruit wines are not as good as the wines we make from Xiang'er. Lu Erniang saw Lu Xiang'er's careful thoughts, and nodded her little nose with relief.

Lu Xiang'er smiled, and returned to Lu Hong's side to ponder. Lu Hong didn't understand how little Lu Xiang'er was keen on winemaking, but he felt that the weather was still a little cold, so he held Lu Xiang'er in his arms and held her little cold hand.

When she arrived in the county, Lu Xiang'er stopped Lu Erniang's move to visit the county, but purchased a large number of fruits that could make wine and jars for wine. It wasn't until all the twenty taels of silver brought out by Lu Erniang were spent that the three of them rushed back tired and tired.

After eating the hot buns, Lu Hong looked back at the jar and pears of an ox cart, and couldn't help shaking his head: "Auntie, these twenty taels are enough for our family of three to live for a year......

"Brother, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to spend money first. Look at it, when I'm done brewing, I'll earn you a few 'twenty taels'." Lu Xiang'er didn't wait for Lu Hong to finish speaking, and began to calculate how much wine could be brewed from the jar on the cart.

Lu Erniang patted Lu Hong's shoulder and said softly: "Brother Hong, A-Niang knows that you are afraid that you will not be able to make money in the end, and Xiang'er will be sad." But you don't know, Xiang'er is really like your uncle when she is serious. At the beginning, when your uncle was in his teens, he insisted on making his own wine, so he had Piaoxiang Distillery two years later. It was also from that time that the Lu family had a place in Qianzhou. ”

"Auntie, you don't think that Xiang'er is like an uncle, she is only five years old." Lu Hong frowned, and he didn't know if it was because Lu Xiang'er didn't find out about his conversation with Lu Erniang, or because of other reasons.

Lu Erniang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hong, Xiang'er looks like she is serious when she is serious, but she doesn't look like a five-year-old at all." Moreover, sometimes A-Niang doesn't know what Xiang'er is thinking. However, she is your uncle's daughter, and she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she must have a talent for winemaking. ”

"But I just want Xiang'er to grow up happily." Lu Hong didn't say what was in his heart, because he knew that he didn't have the ability to do that. Now, all he can do is to hold Lu Xiang'er into his arms and give her a little warmth. However, Lu Hong believes that his wish will definitely come true.
