Chapter 245: Potion

Tang Xiaosu didn't comment on the quality of the food, like an evil ghost reincarnated, and ate the food on the table after dividing it by two.

Tang Xiaosu burped with satisfaction, then picked up a bowl of boiled water on the table and poured it into his stomach.

Only then did he touch his slightly bulging belly with satisfaction.

"Hiccup." Tang Xiaosu burped in satisfaction, and said, "I'm so full of food." ”

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaosu and Wuyi followed the Wang family and came to Wang's mother's house again.

Tang Xiaosu also carried a small burden on his back this time, but whether it was Wuyi or Wang, they didn't know what Tang Xiaosu was carrying in this baggage.

When Tang Xiaosu and the others arrived, Old Man Wang took his three sons and had already fired a batch of jars of the style that Tang Xiaosu wanted.

They are now already in a hurry to burn the second batch of wine jars.

Because Tang Xiaosu wanted more wine jars, they needed to fire them in batches, and there were only fifty wine jars for one or two wines.

Because Tang Xiaosu asked for a lot of money and was in a hurry, the three daughters-in-law of the Wang family would also come to help, but it was still early, and they would come back after they had eaten and the family's work was cleaned up.

Tang Xiaosu looked at the first batch of wine jars that had been burned as smooth as ever, and called to go in and continue to burn Old Man Wang: "Grandfather, uncle, wait a minute, Xiao Su has something to show you here." ”

Tang Xiaosu said, Wang had already brought out a basin of water, and then Tang Xiaosu poured some powder into the water from a small porcelain bottle in his baggage.

After the powder had completely melted, the basin of water had already turned into colored water.

Tang Xiaosu picked up one of the white jars and put them in the basin of dyed clear water, and after the water was all over the wine jar, Tang Xiaosu neatly rolled the wine jar in the water.

When Tang Xiaosu fished out the wine jar again, the wine jar was covered with gorgeous peach blossoms, making people feel as if spring had arrived again.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Tang Xiaosu in surprise, as well as the wine jar that Tang Xiaosu had just taken out that was dyed with gorgeous peach blossoms.

Wuyi's eyes were full of surprise, he stepped forward and took the wine jar in Tang Xiaosu's hand: "Xiao Su, can these potions dye these jars?" ”

Tang Xiaosu nodded: "As soon as I got home yesterday, I went to the mountains to find some things, and then went to Grandpa Wu to ask for some things needed to make these potions, and then tinkered in the room until the night, and finally let me find out this thing, it is this potion, we can color the wine jar." ”

Old Man Wang and his three sons were all staring feverishly at the stained wine jar in Tang Xiaosu's hand and the basin of colored water.

"Grandfather, I'll give you this recipe later, the materials you need are easy to find, and when you all find it,

I can make the same potion as I made, and then I can make this peach blossom with the same color, but I only developed a potion of peach blossom.

You are burning these porcelain, you should think of making other colors, such as Yutang flowers, orchids, these can be, all of them are inseparable from one of them.

I just need to replace one of the peach blossoms in the recipe I wrote with other flowers or grasses. ”

Old Man Wang nodded happily: "Okay, good." "I said several good words in a row.

Tang Xiaosu had already stretched out his hand and handed the prescription to Old Man Wang, who took it and looked at it, and the more he looked at those eyes, the more pleased he became.

After the old man Wang finished reading it, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "Okay, good, it's really good." ”

Old Man Wang and his three sons continued to go back to burn the wine jar, while Tang Xiaosu, Wang and Wuyi put a basin of colored water in front of each of them, and followed Tang Xiaosu's appearance just now, and wrapped the plain wine jar with bright peach blossoms.

Wait for the pigment to be dyed, and then dry it for a while, and this pigment is not easy to fall off, it is stored for a long time, and the sealing performance of the wine in this wine jar is also better, and then the water will not be easy to be volatile.

That night, Tang Xiaosu and the others pulled a total of two batches of wine jars back, and let Old Man Wang make the rest and send them to them.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaosu did not go to Wang's mother's house again, but started brewing wine at home.

Tang Xiaosu found Wang and Liu and taught them to pound wild grapes by hand or with tools.

Pour a bowl of wild grape juice into a jar of bought.

Then add the sugar to the jar and stir until completely dissolved, then add the yeast dissolved in warm water and stir the added wild grape juice again until all the yeast is dissolved in the mixture.

Fill the remaining space in the jar with warm water 3/4 inch from the lid and cover the jar with cheesecloth to ensure that air can enter the jar and smoke can escape.

After 21 days, the jar is placed in a warm place for 21 days, and after 21 days, the cheesecloth is removed and the lid of the jar is resealed, so that a jar of sweet wild wine is completely ready.

The whole process of making wild wine lasted about five days.

In these five days, everyone cleared the wasteland, and they all went to the edge of the deep mountains, and just found the hawthorn and those green apples that Tang Xiaosu had always wanted.

By this time, however, most of the crops in the field were ripe, and it was time for the autumn harvest.

Tang Xiaosu was worried that these fruits would not last until the autumn harvest, so she went to the mountains to take a look, and found that there was not much difference between the ripeness of these fruits and the time she found them, so she was a little relieved.

At the same time, Tang Xiaosu gave the villagers a holiday, so that everyone could hurry up the autumn harvest and continue to come back to work after the autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest is busy, and Tang Xiaosu's family is no exception, not because they are separated, so their family does not have much land, only three acres of land.

Moreover, all the people in their family are diligent people, so all the crops in the field have been harvested in three or four days.

Because the ground is dry, it is not suitable to plant some new crops immediately, so Tang Xiaosu's family is considered to be finished farming.

There are also those who have little land and many people, and they have harvested all the crops in the field early, and they are looking at others one by one, where they are in full swing to harvest the crops they have grown.

The man was hesitating whether to go to Tang's house to find Tang Xiaosu, and then talk about the next work, when he found that Tang Xiaosu's family was coming down from the mountain with a bamboo basket on their backs.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and asked Tang Xiaosu: "Xiao Su, your family is also busy with farming!" ”

Tang Xiaosu nodded: "Yes, uncle, your family is also busy." ”

The man nodded, trying to say it several times, but he didn't open his mouth.

Tang Xiaosu knew what this person wanted to say without asking, so he took the initiative to ask: "If the uncle's family is also busy, you can go to the mountains to help pick those fruits, ten cents a day, or the same as before, the salary for one meal a day is also a day." ”

The man listened to Tang Xiaosu's words, and immediately thanked Tang Xiaosu again and again, and said, "I will start working on the mountain in the afternoon." ”

Tang Xiaosu only smiled, did not speak, carried the bamboo basket with the rest of the family, and continued to rush home.

This news couldn't help but go away in the village, and those who had been idle at home after they were busy all the time were carrying baskets on their backs and spontaneously went to the mountains to help Tang Xiaosu and them pick fruits.

And those who are not finished are also in a hurry, and they can't wait to grow another pair of hands, do their best, and finish all their work as quickly as possible.

More and more people joined the fruit picking team, and as many people as there were, Tang Xiaosu didn't have to go in person, so they began to process those fruits at home.

Tang Xiaosu looked at the pile of yellow, orange and orange persimmons at home, and had already decided in his heart that this persimmon would be made into persimmon cakes.

Tang Xiaosu picked a large persimmon that looked good-looking, insect-free, cleaned one by one, and then peeled off the skin with a knife.

When peeling, Tang Xiaosu kept the stem of the persimmon.

After all the persimmons are peeled, then put the persimmons in a sunny place, and then dry for a week, when drying, you should look at the time, two days later, you should gently pinch the persimmons with your hands, and pinch them again every two days.

After a week of drying, you can eat it.

When Tang Xiaosu was drying persimmons, he also dried the persimmon skins together.

After the persimmon is dried, it can be stored, and then covered with the skin that is dried at the same time, and after more than 20 days, there will be a layer of hoarfrost on it, and the sugar in the skin will seep out.

The figs picked were the best fruits picked out by Tang Xiaosu and prepared to be made into dried figs, which were sold together with persimmon cakes.

Peel the purple, round and plump figs and cut them in half from the middle.

Scoop out the pulp with a spoon and place the peeled flesh on a breathable sieve.

The heart is outward, bask in the sun for a while, and then play with it, choose the noon and afternoon sun, and dry it for seven days, and then pack it up.

As for green apples, Tang Xiaosu wants to make green apple juice, which can be drunk as a drink when the time comes.

Since he brewed his own cider, Tang Xiaosu chose those good green apples with high fruit juice content and high sugar and acid content, and the apples could not be rotten and spoiled.

After preparing the apples, soak them in dilute hydrochloric acid for half an hour, then rinse them with clean water and dry them after washing.
