Chapter 23 Winemaking

Chuncao was very surprised, this Hu Guihua hooked up with Li San, why didn't he continue to grab Li San's cash cow and hook up with his brother? Hearing Lu Ziqi continue, "Maybe you can start from this point and get rid of Hu Guihua." ”

"Did you come up with an idea?" Chuncao felt that Lu Ziqi should have a way.

"Confidentiality for the time being. Don't meddle in this matter, I'll go and discuss it with my brother. Lu Ziqi does have an idea, but it's not a good idea, so it's better not to let his daughter-in-law interfere.

Chuncao pouted and didn't ask again, she was quite tired of this matter, since the nerd said that it would be done, and she didn't let herself know, she didn't bother to ask.

After eating and washing, the two returned to the bedroom, Lu Ziqi took the burden from the ox cart, and Chuncao looked curiously at the nerd to open the baggage, and wanted to know what he was loading.

He took out another pack of dim sum and handed it to Chuncao, "This is a very famous Su Fang Zhai's dim sum, which is said to be very famous, bring it back for you to taste." ”

Chuncao politely thanked him, took the snack and tore open the kraft paper, stuffed a piece and then put it in his mouth, just picked up the second piece, Lu Ziqi took out a wooden hairpin again, "I think this hairpin is very good-looking, so I will buy it for you." After Lu Ziqi finished speaking, he handed the hairpin to Chuncao, Chuncao stuffed the snack in his hand into Lu Ziqi's mouth, took the hairpin, with a faint wood fragrance, the hairpin head was engraved with a lifelike butterfly, and the two whiskers behind the tail circled and overlapped along the hairpin, extremely exquisite, and Chuncao couldn't put it down.

But there is a very serious question, it seems that I can't coil my hair? Only good at braiding, often two twisted braids, or neatly tie a ponytail at the back. It's just the first gift a nerd gives himself, and it's not bad to keep it well.

Lu Ziqi was indeed a little tired after a day's journey, so he fell asleep on the bed. Chuncao listened to the familiar breathing sound next to her, and there were still nerds who felt at ease at home, and gradually fell asleep.

Every day before going to bed, they sleep separately, and waking up in Lu Ziqi's arms seems to have become a habit. Chuncao got out of Lu Ziqi's arms, saw that he was still sleeping, and went out to make breakfast lightly.

When I saw the ox cart in the yard, I thought that the cows had not eaten, so I found the cornmeal in the cabinet and brought half a basin to the cows.

There were some rice and noodles on the ox cart, and there were all wine jars, and Chuncao thought that her red wine was almost fermented, and it was almost finished after filtering. When you're done with breakfast, let the nerds filter with you.

Lu Ziqi was woken up by Chuncao, who stood outside the door and shouted to the bedroom, "Nerd, get up and eat." "I have been busy these days, and I am worried that Chuncao is the only one in the house, and I have not slept a peaceful night, this sleep, Lu Ziqi feels very steady.

Lu Ziqi got dressed and came out, Chuncao looked at Lu Ziqi's clothes in a daze, very speechless, all patches, Lu Ziqi said with some embarrassment, "I didn't have time to wash it when I went out to wear it, only this one is clean." ”

Chuncao remembered the two rolls of cloth she bought last time to make clothes, and after she came back, she was tossed because of her sister-in-law's affairs, and she forgot about it. "I'll send the cloth I bought last time to my mother's house in a while, and let my mother help make two sets of clothes." Chuncao thought that she couldn't make clothes, so she had to ask her mother for help.

"No, I'll do it myself." Lu Ziqi grew up alone, and he had to do many things by himself, and gradually, he learned them.

After eating, the two began to filter the wine, Chuncao found out the cotton cloth that had been boiled and dried, cut it into squares, found an empty large jar that had not been used up before, and tied the cotton cloth with hemp rope along the edge of the altar, and fixed the cotton cloth around the altar edge to prevent it from falling into the jar, and then the two lifted the fermented red wine and poured it slowly, so that the filtration was particularly slow, time-consuming and laborious, and the two were busy for a whole day before they were almost filtered.

Chuncao remembered that when he was a child, he used a wooden bracket to filter tofu, two pieces of wood, fixed with a live bolt in the middle, fixed the four corners of the burden on the four feet of the wooden bracket, hung the wooden bracket on the beam of the house with a rope, poured the boiled puree in the bag, kept shaking, and soon separated the bean dregs and soy milk. My brother also knows a little carpentry, so maybe I can let my brother try to help make one.

The next day, my brother and sister-in-law came over, I didn't worry about Chuncao being at home alone, I came to take a look, and when I entered the yard, I saw that Chuncao was loading red liquid from the big jar into the small jar, and Lu Ziqi was with a pile of yellow mud.

Chuncao's red wine, my brother didn't know, and my sister-in-law knew it, thinking that Chuncao was messing around by herself, and she didn't take it to heart.

Probably explained to my brother, my brother and sister-in-law joined in to help, Chuncao and sister-in-law installed a small jar, Lu Ziqi and his brother and mud, Chuncao thought that lime has a coagulation effect, yesterday morning when Lu Ziqi went to Dalang's house to return the ox cart, he asked him to bring it back, and when the mud and his hands would not disperse, he began to cover the small wine jar with two layers of cotton cloth first, and then paste the mud.

The work efficiency of the four people has been greatly improved, and it will be done in the morning, and Chuncao thinks that the yard is big enough, so he buries the wine under the osmanthus tree in the yard.

After lunch at noon, he asked the nerd and his brother to dig a pit under the osmanthus tree, and he and his sister-in-law carried some of the excess mud to the vegetable garden.

After the pit was dug, Chuncao thought that he had to wait for the mud on the wine jar to be almost dry before he could bury it, so he could only put it in a messy way first.

Chuncao asked about the widow, and the sister-in-law said that at home, in addition to relying on food and housing, she was looking for an opportunity to hook up with the pillar, and the pillar ignored her, so she had no choice.

When it came to widows, Lu Ziqi pulled the pillar and the two conspired together for a long time, and the sister-in-law asked Chuncao curiously, "What are they muttering stupidly?" This god is mysterious, and we don't want to know about it. ”

"How about the plot to clean up the widow, let's leave it alone, let the men deal with it." Chuncao thought that she didn't ask anything about the nerd last time, so she didn't bother to ask.

The weather is good these days, the raisins seem to be doing well, my brother and sister-in-law tasted it, and they were full of praise, and the spring grass wrapped a little bit to let the two of them bring it to their mother when they went back.

Chuncao thought about whether to buy more grapes and make more raisins first, the winery had to slowly accumulate capital, and then open to places with high grape yields, and the braised meat workshop had to be built as soon as possible.

Mention the workshop to my sister-in-law again, "Sister-in-law, I want to open a braised meat workshop as soon as possible." How are you thinking about it? ”

"I discussed it with your brother, your brother said that just the two of us women, it is still a little bad to open a workshop outside, and some things still have to be done by men, anyway, half of the family land is rented out, and the rest is also busy, he plans to do it with us." After the daughter-in-law finished speaking, she glanced at the pillar with a red face, and the pillar also told her that she was afraid that she would work hard and be tired.

"You want to open a workshop, why don't you tell me?" Lu Ziqi's face was a little dark.

"Didn't I tell you, oops, I thought I told you, maybe I forgot, hehe." Chuncao saw Lu Ziqi's face darkened, and explained to him awkwardly.

Lu Ziqi seemed to be really angry, and returned to the cold, expressionless nerd when Chuncao first met.

The daughter-in-law of the pillar noticed the strangeness between the two, and when the pillar was done, she hurriedly pulled the pillar back home.

Poor ancient villages, are all before dark to eat dinner, dark to sleep, this also saves lamp oil, in the morning is also dawn to get up to work, spring grass here for more than two years, has long been accustomed to this kind of early bed and early up life.

After dinner, Chuncao felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, thinking that she had eaten too much, so she walked around the yard to eliminate food. When I entered the house, I saw that Lu Ziqi didn't raise his head, lit an oil lamp and read a book in front of the table on the kang, pouted and got on the kang by himself, and lay down at the other end to prepare for sleep.

Chuncao felt that her stomach was becoming more and more uncomfortable, and Lu Ziqi ignored herself, sat up slightly, leaned against the wall behind her, and said weakly with a little grievance, "Nerd, I'm uncomfortable." ”

Hearing Chuncao's voice, Lu Ziqi understood Chuncao, thinking that Chuncao was deliberately playing tricks like this, wanting to get his own forgiveness, but he didn't care.

Chuncao felt a little hot under his body, it seemed that there was a heat gushing out, his hand reached into the quilt and touched it under his pants, wet, stretched out his hand, blood, there is no aunt towel here, it is all made of thick cotton cloth with grass and wood ash, and cotton is stuffed in better conditions. Aunt Chuncao has never been patronized, and basically forgot about it, so she thought about it on the wedding night, and worried about whether she had a problem, and then she left it behind. Now that this aunt is here, she has no preparations, and it is estimated that the quilt is also dirty, and she doesn't know what to do, Chuncao feels very aggrieved, and her tears can't stop falling down.

Lu Ziqi heard a sob, turned his head, and saw Chuncao sobbing and shedding tears, seeing Chuncao like this, Lu Ziqi's whole heart felt caught, "Where is it uncomfortable, I'll take you to see the doctor." Panickedly, he got up and came to the side of the kang at the end of Chuncao, stretched out his hand to uncover the quilt of Chuncao, and pulled Chuncao to get up.

Chuncao dodged Lu Ziqi's hand, grabbed the quilt tightly, and stopped sobbing and said, "I, I'm here." Lu Ziqi was stunned, and his face gradually turned red.

Chuncao's stomach hurt a little white, and the person gradually curled up in a ball. Seeing the appearance of Chuncao, Lu Ziqi took the oil lamp to the kitchen to boil water in a little panic, and returned to rummage in the cabinet, found an old cotton jacket of his, took out a small dustpan with needlework scissors, and cut the cotton jacket into rectangles of various sizes, a cotton jacket, basically finished cutting, went to the kitchen to get a basin of hot water, and called Chuncao curled up in a ball on the bed, "You get up and wash, change your pants, I'll go out first." With that, he went out.
