Chapter 29

In the Gu family's stove room.

Drop by drop, the clear liquor dripped from the simple bamboo still into the wooden basin.

The four brothers who were planing the wood of the waterwheel in the yard sniffed unconsciously when they smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the stove.

"It smells so good!"

Gu Da Niu sniffed vigorously in the direction of the stove room, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, "Ah Yuan, Wanya really taught her mother to use your method to make good wine?"

"It should be!" Gu Yuan responded.

In fact, it has nothing to do with him that this wine can be turned into a good wine, he has no way, even the distiller that Su Wan made of bamboo, he has never seen it at all.

Gu Yuan was thinking about it, Jiang was carrying a small wooden bucket, and Su Wan came out of the stove room with a few thick bowls.

Su Wan and the Jiang clan scooped a bowl of wine for each of the four brothers, "Big brother, second brother, you can taste it, how is this wine now?"

Gu Da Niu and Gu Erniu took the bowl in Su Wan's hand, and only looked at the wine in the bowl that was clear and bright, without any impurities, and knew that it must be good wine.

Gu Yuan took a sip, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine!" Although the taste is not mellow enough, it is mellow and clear, and there is a faint bamboo aroma. ”

Su Wan looked at him with a pair of round and shiny fawn eyes full of anticipation, "Do you think we can sell this wine for money if we take it to the Xinghualou in the town?"

Before Gu Yuan could answer Su Wan, Gu Laohan and Yang Lizheng came in from outside the courtyard.

As soon as he came in, Yang Lizheng couldn't help but sniff hard, "It's so fragrant, Ah Yuan, are you cooking wine at home?"

Now the most important thing in Gu Yuan's family is wine, which is a well-known thing in the village.

But this cooking wine is not only time-consuming and laborious but also firewood, even if it is a good year, everyone at most cooks some home-brewed rice wine to eat during the New Year.

This peasant family who cooks wine and eats on weekdays is really ...... Li Zheng has lived for most of his life and has never seen Miao!

Gu Sanniu was a clever man, and when he heard Li Zheng's words, he immediately scooped a bowl of wine and served it to Li Zheng, "Uncle Wenhua, you taste it, how is this wine in our house?"

Li Zheng was not polite, he took the bowl after thanking him, and looked at the clear and bright wine in the bowl, he was already surprised first.

Nowadays, because good filtration and distillation techniques are still in the hands of a few large distilleries, the wine brewed at home and from small distilleries is generally turbid.

Even the wine made by the big brewery has to be precipitated before it can be clear, and there are more or less impurities.

The winery that Gu Sanniu helped in before was all roasted wine, which was only a little better than the one made by their farmer themselves, and it was definitely impossible to be so clear.

After he took a sip, the aroma of the wine instantly stimulated his taste buds, not sour or astringent at all, "Good wine, good wine, this wine is even better than the wine in Xinghualou!"

Although Li Zheng is literate, his cultural level is not high, so naturally he can't tell what is good about this wine like Gu Yuan.

But his second brother was the second shopkeeper in Xinghualou in the town, and brought him back the wine of Xinghualou, he knew what good wine tasted like, and he also knew which wine was better than the wine of Xinghualou.

When Gu Sanniu heard this, he immediately followed the conversation and said, "Uncle Wenhua, if my family wants to sell this wine to Xinghualou, can you trouble Wen Yongshu to introduce it." ”

Li Zheng looked at Gu Sanniu with some surprise and asked, "Sanniu, is this wine brewed by your family?"

Gu Sanniu scratched the back of his head honestly, and said honestly: "This wine is the wine that the winery gave me to pay for my salary before, and it was distilled again with the method that Ah Yuan saw in the book, and it became the current wine." ”

"Cheng, tomorrow you bring the wine, and I'll go with you to the town. Yang Lizheng originally felt sorry for the Gu family because of his granddaughter's relationship with Gu Yuan, so he naturally wouldn't shirk this kind of thing.

At this time, he looked at the wood that Gu Yuan was planing in his hand.

There was an indescribable sigh and regret in his eyes, this fourth child of the Gu family is really a talent, he is smart when he is young, and it takes a long time for others to learn the carpenter's craft, he just watched it for a while when the carpenter made furniture for his home.

I didn't have to choose to study, I was only twelve years old when I was a showman, and I won the little three yuan in one fell swoop.

But his own daughter-in-law and granddaughter, alas!

It's just that his granddaughter is not blessed!
