Chapter 215: Winemaking

"Sister, are you reluctant to Xiaorui?" Ye Xinyao raised her hand and shook it in front of Ye Xi's eyes.

"It's a little bit! I just felt that I finally had a home, but all of a sudden it became deserted again. Ye Xi smiled bitterly. In the end, there are still many people at home. ”

"Then sister, why don't you keep Xiaorui?"

"Where can I stay, my mother-in-law's thoughts are not wrong, not to mention that I also hope that Xiao Rui will be more productive in the future." Ye Xi said with a smile. "Only with more knowledge can we have more choices in the future. What a human life! It's important to have a lot of options.

"Speaking of which, it was a woman who didn't have the opportunity to read, otherwise we should have read more."

"It's useless for us to read! You can't go to the imperial examination to be an official. Ye Xinyao smiled.

Women can't enter the academy, although they will envy their brother for being able to study, but they are only a little envious.

After his brother reads, he can go to the imperial examination, and he may have the opportunity to be an official in the future. She's a girl's family, so she can't do this anyway.

Because her father is a teacher, she and her eldest sister also know some words, and they are already luckier than other girls.

"Even if you can't be an official, you can do something else! Besides, it can also broaden your horizons. Ye Xi said seriously. If you have time, you should read more books, after all, there is some use. ”

"Okay." Ye Xinyao nodded.

Ye Xi went back to the house to make a flower book, while Ye Xinyao helped with some housework.

Only their sisters are at home, and the house is really deserted.

After preparing for two days, Gu Qingzhou sent someone to pick up Ye Xi. Because making mulberry sake is quite simple, it doesn't take too long to prepare.

When Ye Xi arrived, there were already a lot of jars in the courtyard, and Master Tan also brought a carriage of mulberries.

The mulberries are ripe and cleanly picked.

Ye Xi took some mulberries and mashed them, then put a layer of mulberries and a layer of sugar into the jar, and finally put some liquor.

After that, seal the jar and place it in a cool place.

"That's it?" Seeing that the steps were so simple, Gu Qingzhou was a little surprised. "Can this really make the best wine you say?"

"If it doesn't work, you have to try it!" Ye Xi thought that it should be successful.

In the previous life, because there were many mulberry trees in the village that were specially planted to eat fruits, there were also many fruits that could not be eaten every year.

Grandma would pick ripe mulberries, take her and Xiao Yi to brew mulberry wine together, and then distribute them to the villagers to taste.

Because it wasn't the first time she had done it, she didn't think it was too likely to fail.

However, some adjustments can be made in the proportion, and men may like to drink a higher degree. And if it is sold to a woman, the natural degree will be lower.

"My yard is small, I'm afraid I still have to use the Tan family's place." Gu Qingzhou looked at Master Tan.

"The Tan family has a warehouse that is useless, and it can be used by cleaning it over there."

Ye Xi didn't have to worry about the rest for the time being, and Gu Qingzhou and Master Tan would do it.

Master Tan asked people to publicize it in the town, saying that Zhuangzi wanted to recruit some mulberry pickers. For a while, many people flocked to the Tan family's Zhuangzi, and Ye Xinyao also went to help.

Because of this matter, Yao Nu also came to Ye Xi and asked if she knew what the Tan family was doing for people to pick so many mulberries.
