Chapter 10 Wild Grapes in the Mountains

The warm autumn sun illuminated the room through the window paper, and Chuncao lazily opened her eyes, a little unfamiliar room, sat up and rubbed her hair, yes, she got married.

Looking at the empty position around him, there is no longer a nerd, getting up so early, but I don't know that the sun has already climbed high, and it is not early at all.

Chuncao got up, went to the closet to find the clothes she had brought from home, put them on and left the bedroom.

There was a noise in the kitchen, and Chuncao walked to the door of the kitchen and saw his father-in-law who was cooking, and he felt so happy, with a sweet smile on his face.

Lu Ziqi saw Chuncao standing at the door looking at him smirking, and said, "Hungry, the meal will be ready soon, there is hot water in the basin, hurry up and wash your face." Chuncao came back to her senses and walked towards the basin.

After eating, Chuncao washes the dishes at home and cleans up, and the nerd has to go to the pots and pans, tables and stools that he borrowed from the villagers.

When Lu Ziqi came back, Chuncao relied on Lu Ziqi to learn to write, for this ancient traditional Chinese character, Chuncao half guessed and half Meng barely knew, but she really couldn't write it.

Lu Ziqi didn't have any power to parry Chuncao's stalking, and after seeing Chuncao's learning ability, Lu Ziqi was quite surprised, and she could remember it once she was taught it, and the words she wrote were also very good for "beginners".

The morning passed without realizing it. After the two finished lunch together, Lu Ziqi was going to the back mountain to chop wood. After coming here for so long, Chuncao nests at home every day, except for going to his own field, he has never been to the mountain, and when he heard that Lu Ziqi was going up the mountain, he shouted to go together.

Chuncao also grew up in the countryside in his previous life, but the mountains were somewhat bare because of human deforestation; The mountains here are all deep mountains and old forests, and Chuncao is very curious about whether there is anything different in the mountains.

Behind the Lu family is a wild tea mountain, the mountain is full of weeds and tea trees, most of the people in the village drink tea here to pick tea by themselves, the people in the village will go to the east of the mountain to collect firewood, where the village is relatively close, Lu Ziqi is in the southernmost part of the village, close to Nanshan, so the firewood is on the other side of the river in Nanshan.

The two changed out of their robes and put on coarse cloth clothes and trousers, Lu Ziqi took a flat pole for picking firewood, and Chuncao carried a basket on his back, and walked to Nanshan on the other side of the river together.

It didn't look far, but it took half an hour to get to the foot of the mountain, and then it began to climb slowly up from the foot of the mountain.

Lu Ziqi saw that Chuncao was tired and sweaty, and shook his head, fortunately, he married him, married into someone else's family, so weak and unwinded, and still had to do farm work, how could he live.

The mountains and forests are too lush, as soon as you enter the mountains and forests, the light becomes very dark, seeing that the spring grass can't walk, Lu Ziqi pulls the spring grass and continues to climb up, saying in his mouth, "It's almost there, you can't stop, you don't want to move when you stop." ”

Lu Ziqi pulled the spring grass to turn around, and walked for a long time before he walked out of a section of the mountain forest, and there was a place in front of him where the light became cheerful.

Gradually approaching, there is a wide lawn, around the lawn, there are actually cages of wild grapes, it is now the season of grape ripening, clusters of black wild grapes, in the sunlight, shining on the vines.

The tiredness of the spring grass was swept away, and he threw himself into a grape, picked one and put it in his mouth, the sweet and sour taste, and the unique aroma of the grapes, spring grass has never tasted such a delicacy since he came here.

Lu Ziqi walked to the spring grass, looked at the spring grass that was excitedly feeding grapes to his mouth, and said, "If you like it, you can pick a little and eat it back." ”

Chuncao observed by himself, the vines here were full of hanging, and no one picked them, so he asked curiously, "No one likes these grapes, why there is no trace of picking?" ”

"The mountains here are too deep, and there are big beasts in the mountains, and no one will come here." As soon as Chuncao heard that there was a beast next to Lu Ziqi unconsciously, she grabbed Lu Ziqi's arm tightly.

Seeing Chuncao's nervous expression, a smile appeared at the corner of Lu Ziqi's eyes, and he continued, "And this Nanshan is too far away, and the villagers generally don't come here to cut firewood, even if they come, they are on the edge of the mountain below, but they don't dare to drill into this deep mountain." This wild grape is only sweet here, and the sour toothless and greedy children in the mountains and forests are not very welcome. ”

Chuncao looked around and instantly understood the reason why the grapes were sweet only here: sunshine. Grapes are only sweet when they ripen in enough sunlight, and this one happens to be a large open space with enough sunlight to be sweet.

It would be nice to pick so many grapes and sell them for money, and Haruka thought about it and said to the nerd, "Let's pick and sell these grapes for money." ”

Lu Ziqi shook his head, "Rich people can afford to buy grapes, they won't buy this wild grape, poor people have seen it in the mountains, no one will be rare, and there is no spare money to buy it, besides, this thing will be bad if you put it for a day." ”

Chuncao frowned, this large piece, it's a pity, suddenly thought of wine, his eyes lit up, and asked Lu Ziqi, "Is there wine here?" ”

Lu Ziqi looked at the spring grass curiously, "Grapes can make wine?" ”

When I look at the nerd's expression, I don't know, but maybe there will be other places, and I thought about it and said it unconsciously.

Lu Ziqi shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it." Lu Ziqi was very surprised, he had never heard of wine, how could Chuncao know that grapes could make wine?

Chuncao glanced at Lu Ziqi and said distrustfully, "You have been in this village since you were a child, how do you know that there is no outside." ”

Regarding Chuncao's suspicion, Lu Ziqi answered helplessly, "Don't you keep calling me a nerd, I've read all kinds of miscellaneous books, but I haven't seen grapes that can make wine." And how did you learn that grapes can be used to make wine? ”

"I thought of it myself." Chuncao's eyes flashed, and he replied casually, Bing didn't plan to elaborate, Lu Ziqi was very strange, looking at Chuncao's dodging eyes, I didn't get to the bottom of it.

Chuncao asked Lu Ziqi to help cut some grass with a sickle and put it under the back basket, and then began to pick the ripe grapes on the tree, and gently put them in the back basket one by one. Have you ever brewed it before? Do you know how to get it? ”

"Of course...... No. Chuncao almost said that of course it had been brewed, "However, I think this can be brewed, so I'm going to try it." Chuncao was rambling casually.

Lu Ziqi saw that Chuncao was determined to take this wine, so he left it to him, and said to Chuncao with a sickle, "You are picking here, don't run far, there are wild beasts in this mountain forest." I went up to chop wood at the edge of the woods by the back. ”

Along the way, Chuncao didn't see any beasts, plus the excitement of wanting to make wine, the fear of beasts that he had just heard in his heart was completely thrown out of the clouds, and he waved his hand at Lu Ziqi casually, and carefully picked his grapes.

Chuncao picked a basket of grapes, walked around, saw that Lu Ziqi hadn't come over yet, and walked to the mountain inside, Lu Ziqi's firewood had been cut and was being bundled, Chuncao wanted to go up to help, but I didn't know how to start? So he stood by and watched Lu Ziqi busy.

Lu Ziqi found Chuncao standing in front of him, looked up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon." ”

After Lu Ziqi bundled the firewood and picked it up with a flat pole, the two walked to the place where the spring grass picked grapes together, the spring grass squatted down and put the back basket on his back, Lu Ziqi supported the flat shoulder with one hand, and lifted the back basket behind the spring grass to help the spring grass quilt on his shoulders with the other hand, and walked down the mountain together.

Halfway through, I went down to the edge of Nanshan, watching Lu Ziqi easily carry firewood and walk in front, the tired panting Chuncao put the back basket on a prominent stone pier, and sat on the ground with her ass, she really couldn't carry it, and sighed in her heart that her physical fitness was really poor, and she was used to it in the past two years.

Lu Ziqi walked in front, didn't hear the movement behind, turned around and saw Chuncao sitting on the ground, shook his head helplessly, put the firewood on his shoulder on the side of the road, turned around and walked to Chuncao, put the basket on his back, and pulled up the Chuncao on the ground, "Let's go." ”

Chuncao leaned her whole body on Lu Ziqi weakly, dragged her weak feet forward, suddenly thought of firewood, and asked, "What about firewood?" ”

"I'll send you back first, and I'll pick it out."

Hearing Lu Ziqi say this, Chuncao was a little embarrassed, she was really useless, she lowered her head and didn't speak, and walked forward silently.
