I'm so tired and sleepy, I don't know what to do?

When is it a head?

………………………………

Lin Qingqing's luck today is really not good, a morning has passed, and the tofu flowers have not been sold.

It probably has something to do with whether it's a polder day today, and she didn't come out early in the morning to set up a stall, but it's more likely that her signboard didn't come out.

Although tofu flowers are not a valuable thing, they are still the majority of poor people now, and some people are reluctant to eat snacks.

When it was almost noon, the weather was already very hot, Lin Qingqing was afraid that the tofu flowers would be bad, so she hurriedly said goodbye to the lady who sold herbal tea, and then took the rest of the tofu flowers back, and decided to go back to the third uncle's house.

On the way back home with a wooden barrel, she saw a wine shop, Lin Qingqing suddenly remembered that the wine in this era was basically water wine, there was no spirits, and there was very little fruit wine, but there was wine, but it was all transported from the Western Regions, and there was only one in the capital, how could there be such expensive wine for sale in ordinary mountain towns.

Now most of the people in this ancient town drink two kinds of wine, a glutinous rice water wine, and a rice wine transported from the next county, and the taste is not as good as that of later generations.

Probably because the sake brewing process has not been improved, but now the sake tastes weird.

Lin Qingqing can make wine, but in later generations, most of the wine made at home will use koji, but I don't know if there is one now, if not, she decided to buy some ready-made water wine, and then she is purifying it, so that the degree of the wine becomes higher, and she can also make soju similar to that of later generations.

This wine is the favorite of most drinkers, and it's best if you come in the winter.

It's already September, and it's harvest time, so it would be nice if we could make some wine.

To do this business, it is natural to make more expensive wine, which can be small in quantity and high in price.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingqing's eyes lit up, this kind of skill can also be passed on to her family in the future.

Anyway, this wine will not be bad, the wine is aged fragrant, the longer the time becomes, the more mellow it is, and the price will naturally rise.

It's better to go back and buy more grapes and make more. Then the purified high wine can also be buried in the ground, and we will also make a few big jars of daughter red!

The more she thought about it, the more comfortable she became, Lin Qingqing felt that she would never be bored anymore, but her eyes lit up and she decided to do a big job.

After returning home, Lin Qingqing told a few people in the third aunt's family about her plan, mainly because she needed a few cousins to help her collect some grapes.

"Wine? I haven't heard of it, but can grapes be made into wine? Lin Shumei asked suspiciously.

"Of course you can, in fact, there was already wine five hundred years ago, a fine wine from the Western Regions." Lin Qingqing said with a smile.

The popular water liquor is a brewed liquor made from grains as raw materials and wheat koji or koji as saccharification starter culture.

Historically, the raw material for the production of rice wine was millet in the north. Sometimes it is also called beam, now it is also called millet, and after removing the shell, it is called millet. In the south, rice (especially glutinous rice is the best raw material) is commonly used as a raw material to make rice wine.

Lin Qingqing knew that the production of soju had not yet begun, and all she had to do was soju and wine.

"You know so much, so we just need to help you buy grapes and come back?" Lin Shumei asked.

"Yes, you just need to help me go to the town to buy grapes, if I need a little sour grapes that are not fully ripe, I will go buy some vats myself."

On the second day, the three brothers and sisters of Lin Laosan's family began to help Lin Qingqing buy grapes everywhere, and they worked all day, picking and purchasing two large board cars.

There are more than 500 catties in total.

When Lin Donghai returned home, he looked at so many grapes in the yard, and asked in a daze, "Where did so many grapes come from, and have you finished eating?" I remember that the third brother's family didn't plant grapes this year? ”

"Fifth uncle, this is for making wine, not for eating." Lin Shuying replied.

"Wine? Does the third sister-in-law make wine? Lin Donghai asked in surprise.

"It's Qingqing who can make wine!" Lin Shumei said happily.

"Qingqing makes wine, why didn't I know?" Wine is a good thing, I've only seen it in poetry, but I've never drunk it.

"Fifth uncle, don't worry about it, Qingqing said that you can taste it in a month, and you can just wait and drink it when the time comes!" Lin Shumei joked with a smile.

"Well, thank you for helping her. This kid is now grown up and has more ideas. Lin Donghai nodded openly.

"Okay, fifth uncle, don't worry!" The three of them replied in unison.

"Wine is expensive, you make it carefully, don't spoil it!" Lin Donghai instructed again.

"Got it!" The three of them nodded again and again.

"Brother, how much wine do you say can be made from so many grapes? You can sell it for a lot of money! Lin Shumei's eyes were about to light up.

"I don't know, I still have to ask Qingqing about this." Lin Biaowang scratched his head.

I don't know how this thing about making wine got out, and many ladies in the neighborhood came to see it.

Lin Qingqing has been busy buying big jars and vats these days.

However, when she wanted to buy a very important sugar, she found that there was no white sugar in this era, only sucrose, and the sweetness of this sugar was not so high.

Fortunately, the amount is still okay, but the price is also very expensive.

Lin Qingqing was speechless, no wonder this wine was so expensive in ancient times, in fact, modern wine is also a relatively expensive wine, if it is a famous wine, the price is higher.

A pound of ordinary sugar is more than twice as expensive as meat, but after thinking about it, there are more than 500 pounds of grapes, which can make a thousand pounds of wine, and I am relieved.

She bought more than 20 catties of candy, and then ran to buy koji, it turned out that someone had already made koji in this era.

After she bought these, she went to the store that sold large vats, and chose a few large vats for water, and a large vat could probably hold a hundred catties of wine.

It's just that she wants to buy 10 in one go, and after the price is negotiated, the guy is still very surprised, and asks, "Girl, what are you doing with so many vats?" ”

"Brew, buy so many tanks, you guys will be responsible for the delivery." Lin Qingqing smiled.

"I see, if you buy so many cylinders, of course you can have them delivered to your door."

Lin Qingqing smiled and asked: "In this case, I will pay you half of the deposit first, and when the cylinders are all shipped, I will check that there is no problem, and then pay the rest, do you think?"

"Yes, you can, if you have a problem, you can replace it!" The shopkeeper also came out and replied with a smile, such a refreshing customer, maybe there will be business in the future.

"Then it's decided, you can send it to the Shi Mansion in Xie Fu Lane at the east gate of the city." Lin Qingqing took out the silver taels and paid half of the deposit, and the shopkeeper quickly arranged for the guy to load the car, ready to send the vat to the place she said.

Everything was ready, and Lin Qingqing was ready to start brewing, and it suddenly occurred to her that it was a problem to store so much wine. Although the house is big enough, it is not enough in terms of safety, and this wine can be less noticeable if it is small, and so much is a little too conspicuous if it is placed in the house.

Lin Qingqing was going to go out to find a blacksmith to make a big lock, she had already thought about it, after the wine was brewed, she would block the door with a big stone, and then hang a big lock, with her strength to move the big stone, I believe that no one in this town can move it, if there are more thieves, it will inevitably attract people's attention.

When she was doing this, she didn't expect that suddenly two maids in grass-green skirts came to her, saying that the old lady of the Li Mansion wanted to summon her.

"Li Mansion?" Lin Qingqing's eyes widened, it seems that Li You's family really moved over, otherwise the old lady would have come out.

"Miss Lin, the old lady of our family said, please come over tomorrow night." The two maids said politely.

"Why did you invite me over?" Lin Qingqing asked suspiciously.

"Just come here." A maid raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not interested, I won't go if I don't have time, I'm going to spend the holidays at home with my family." Lin Qingqing refused, feeling that it was none of her business, and she didn't bother to say anything, she still wanted to go to the blacksmith as originally planned, and she had to find a stonemason to buy a large stone when she turned around.

Lin Qingqing refused the invitation, which annoyed an older maid, she glared at Lin Qingqing, and said coldly:

"Why are you so ignorant, girl? Our old lady is ...... can let you go to the house to admire the moon, that is to give you a big face. ”

"This festival is a day for the folk family to reunite together, I am not at home with my relatives, why do I want to see your old lady, why do you still plan to come hard." Lin Qingqing sneered.

"Sister Qiu Ju, I think we should go back to the house to report this matter to the old lady, and let her make a decision!" Another maid whispered.

"Hmph......" The green-clothed maid named Qiu Ju glared at Lin Qingqing, flicked her sleeves and left.

All this was heard by Lin Shumei, who had just entered the courtyard, she listened to the conversation in her ears, and as soon as the two maids left, she hurriedly ran to Lin Qingqing and asked, "Qingqing, when did you know any old lady, and let you go to their house?" ”

Lin Qingqing looked at her curious cousin and said with a faint smile: "I don't know any old lady, but if I'm not mistaken, I know her grandson, and you have also seen it, it is the person brought by the master who came to us last time." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect they to have a maid at home? Look at the clothes and materials worn by the maid, they are better than those on me, then the Li family must also be a rich and noble family, Qingqing, you are lucky! Their family actually sent two maids to invite you to the house, why did you refuse? ”

Lin Shumei is really curious, then the Li family is not an ordinary person at first glance, if Lin Qingqing can be with such a family, it will definitely be beneficial to the Lin family in the future.

"Sister Shumei, what do you think, I haven't even scratched the word with Li You, and it's too fast to find the door! Besides, it's rare to celebrate the holidays, and you must spend it at home. ”

"You're not afraid of offending their family!" Lin Shumei asked worriedly.

"Sister, don't worry, their family shouldn't have such a small amount of energy, don't think so much, it's not a big deal." Lin Qingqing said with a grin.

"I just think that we can't afford to mess with that kind of family, but I'm afraid we can't climb high!"

Lin Qingqing was a little stunned when she heard this, but she also knew what kind of person Sister Shumei was, and knew that she was doing it for her own good, so she patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Sister, why don't you come to see me make wine, and you can also give me a hand." ”

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have anything else to do, so I'll help you, I'll call my mother to help too." As soon as Lin Shumei heard that she was going to make wine, her face turned cloudy.

"Well, thank you then. If the third aunt is busy, there is no need to bother. Lin Qingqing said with a smile.

Lin Shumei nodded, this time she went back to the house, with a happy face, Xiao Shi was collecting the soles of her shoes, and hurriedly asked, "What are you so happy about?" ”

"It's time to make wine, mother, let's go help Qingqing! Last time, she said that the wine brewed would be divided into 100 catties for our family, and we will have money immediately, we can buy a house and land, and when the time comes, we will also buy two maids and come back, so that my mother will have someone to serve. ”

"You girl, what's going on in your head? I also bought a maid to serve me, it is already a great joy for ordinary people like us to buy a house and land, and I still want to buy a population to serve, you want to be a big lady so much! Xiao said angrily.

"Mother, can't you think about it? Who wouldn't want to be a daughter? ”

"Don't think about those who don't have it now, aren't you going to help Qingqing make wine? What are you doing here? Let's go! Lin Shuying also walked down from the attic, she was woken up by Lin Shumei's loud voice, and came down in single clothes.

"Well, sister, aren't you feeling unwell? Why don't you lie down a little longer. Lin Shumei looked up and asked.

"If I can't sleep, I'll go and see, I may not be able to do anything to help, and I'll come back after watching for a while."

"Then you stand far away and watch, you will be busy for a while, for fear of colliding." Shaw confessed.

Lin Shuying nodded and promised: "Okay, I'll stand far away in a while." ”

This sake brewing is actually not that difficult, but because the amount is a bit large, a few people have been busy for a long time, and it is only slightly better when it is dark.

In the evening, in order to thank the third aunt and two cousins for their help, Lin Qingqing decided to cook more good dishes at her house, and then invited the third uncle to come over for dinner together.

Eating in the hall of the middle courtyard, Lin Qingqing lit the candles she bought a few days ago, and the whole family had a happy meal, she was so tired, she went back to the house early to sleep.

Early the next morning, I didn't expect someone to kill pigs in the yard, she was woken up by a cry of killing pigs, and came out in clothes to know that the Li family was killing pigs opposite, and it was intended to be used by his granddaughter Li Yinghua.

In the end, the Huang butcher's family still did not retreat from marriage, and Li Yinghua still had to marry into the Huang family.

The people of the Li family are not stingy, and when the pig-killing rice is ready, they still invite the entire Shi Mansion to eat the pig-killing rice.

Lin Qingqing thought about it for a while and decided to go back and give Li Yinghua a little gift.

Today is the festival, she is going to go to the market to see if there are any pomelos to sell, there are still very few fruits in this era, and I don't know if I can buy them.

If not, I bought some meat and vegetables and came back to the third uncle's house, and asked the third aunt to go to the grandmother's place together, and eat at the grandmother's house in the evening.

Lin Qingqing finally went to the market to buy 5 catties of pork belly, a large grass carp and a bag of fruit cakes, but did not buy grapefruit, only grapes and a local orange were sold on the street, she weighed a little.

His father was busy with books, and he was very indifferent to the world in this regard, so he might indeed be a little stupid, Lin Qingqing smiled, but his modern father's temper was very different.

But they are all their biological fathers, and they still have nothing to say in terms of character, and they are more open-minded and kind-hearted.
