Chapter 077: Making Wine
Following.
Ji Lingxiao was picked up from the bed by Jiang Xiaohei.
It's time to chop wood.
Ji Lingxiao changed into a short suit that was easy to walk, his hair was tied, and he was much more energetic.
It's just that the face is too handsome, the peach blossom eyes are too seductive, and it is a little out of place with the mountains and forests.
Jiang Yao also changed into clothes that were easy to climb the mountain, with cuffs and trouser legs tied, she planned to go to the mountain to see if there was anything she could pick.
Zhao Qingqing heard that Jiang Yao was going up the mountain, so he wanted to follow.
So a group of two people became a group of four.
Under the great sun, I went up the mountain.
Along the way, Ji Lingxiao and Zhao Qingqing inevitably quarreled.
Ji Lingxiao: "Don't follow me." ”
Zhao Qingqing: "Just this way, don't be sentimental." ”
Ji Lingxiao: "There are snakes!" ”
Zhao Qingqing was most afraid of snakes, and jumped on Jiang Yao's back in fright.
Ji Lingxiao: "I'm sorry, I read it wrong." ”
Zhao Qingqing was so angry that he chased Ji Lingxiao with a machete.
Jiang Xiaohei shook his head helplessly: "Childish." ”
Jiang Yao looked at the two people chasing in front of her, and was said by a child to be naïve, it was really naïve.
Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei arrived at the old place and chopped wood with a firewood knife.
Ji Lingxiao is like a son-in-law, and he has to be served by someone to chop wood.
When you cut down a tree, you have to ask Jiang Xiaohei to hand over a bamboo tube of water.
Jiang Yao and Zhao Qingqing walked around to see if they could gain something.
There was no ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or anything, but Jiang Yao grabbed a few snakes, carried them in a sack, and threw them into the back basket.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the wriggling snake, and her scalp was numb: "Jiang Yao, why don't you kill it?" ”
"This live snake sells for a high price."
Zhao Qingqing was five steps away from Jiang Yao, looking at Jiang Yao with frightened eyes, she was too terrifying!
Another turn.
"Jiang Yao, there are a lot of wild fruits here!" Zhao Qingqing shouted.
Jiang Yao ran to look, Zhao Qingqing had just put a wild fruit in his mouth, and his little face was wrinkled.
"It's too sour." Zhao Qingqing hurriedly threw it on the hand, "It's not delicious, let's go find it elsewhere." ”
As he spoke, he was going somewhere else.
didn't take two steps, and saw Jiang Yao standing in place, picking those wild fruits and throwing them into the back basket.
Zhao Qingqing walked back again.
"What are you doing with such sourness?"
"This is a mountain grape that can be used to make wine." Jiang Yao said.
"Winemaking?" Zhao Qingqing heard of it for the first time.
"Yes, wine." Jiang Yao said.
Jiang Yao originally wanted to develop more varieties of wine, but she was lucky, she could make wine with so many mountain grapes!
Thinking about the taste of wine, Jiang Yao unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Zhao Qingqing is good at wine, and drank rice wine at Jiang Yao's house, and felt that it tasted great.
What does this wine taste like?
Zhao Qingqing helped pick all the ripe ones.
A back basket is full, Jiang Yao checked it, at least twenty pounds!
Zhao Qingqing wanted to help Jiang Yao carry it, but when she looked at the snake wriggling in the sack, her scalp was numb, and her outstretched hand retracted.
The two went to find Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei.
And behold, there were two sheaves of wood on the ground.
Ji Lingxiao was lying under the shade of a tree.
And Jiang Xiaohei took a large leaf and fanned Ji Lingxiao.
What an uncle.
However, Jiang Yao also acquiesced to Jiang Xiaohei and Ji Lingxiao's good relationship.
In this era, although there is an imperial examination, it also pays attention to the concept of the family.
It is difficult for a poor child to get ahead.
Even if you get into the top three, you have to rely on your teacher and your father-in-law's family.
Like Ji Huaiye, when something happened to his teacher, he refused to marry a powerful wife of the family, even if he was a champion, he was sent to such a remote place to be a county magistrate.
If you don't have a chance, you may end up here for the rest of your life.
Jiang Xiaohei likes to read and will take the imperial examination in the future.
The Ji family is also a big family in the capital, and Ji Lingxiao and Jiang Xiaohei have this relationship, which may be beneficial to Jiang Xiaohei in the future.
Zhao Qingqing walked over quietly, walked in front of Ji Lingxiao, stretched out his hand, and pinched his nose.
Ji Lingxiao opened his mouth and continued to breathe.
Zhao Qingqing: "......"
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief!" Jiang Xiaohei screamed several times before he woke up Ji Lingxiao.
got up lazily, and saw Zhao Qingqing looking at him angrily.
He didn't know how he had provoked this female bandit, and he was confused.
I didn't care about her, and went down the mountain with a bundle of firewood.
As soon as they got home, Xiao Tianbao and the dog cub came to help Jiang Yao carry the basket.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the two little guys, afraid that the snake on the mouth of the back basket would scare them, so he had the courage to lift the snake bag.
She closed her eyes and imagined a snake holding a sack in her hand, her body trembling unconsciously.
"Auntie, I'll get it." Xiao Tianbao took it.
"There's a snake in there." Zhao Qingqing hurriedly said.
However, Xiao Tianbao was not afraid at all, she carried it in her little hands and shook it, and the two buns tied on her head also shook.
"If you sell the snake, you can buy it delicious." Apparently quite happy.
Zhao Qingqing looked at the little guy's happy face.
Jiang Yao is a big devil, and the two little ones are little devils!
After entering the house, Jiang Yao took a sip of the tea brought by the dog cub and rested for a while.
She looked at the basket of mountain grapes, the weather was too hot to leave for a long time, and she had to wash them first.
Jiang Yao carried the basket of mountain grapes on his back and went to the river to wash them.
Zhao Qingqing was tired enough, but he was curious about how this wine was made, so he followed.
Naturally, the two of them went to help together.
Got to the river.
In the afternoon, there was no one by the river.
Jiang Yao occupied one of the largest stones, and placed the back basket and two baskets containing mountain grapes there.
When the grapes were washed, they were put in a basket.
Zhao Qingqing originally thought that the two little ones were here to join in the fun, but soon found out that the puppies were quite good at working.
The little guy's movements are very neat, he washes quickly, and he is even better than her.
She and Xiao Tianbao combined, they can't compare to the puppies.
The children of the poor are in charge of the house early, and the little one must have suffered a lot if he is so capable.
Zhao Qingqing felt that in fact, Jiang Yao was not easy, a widow with two dolls.
The father of these two treasures is also not angry, so short-lived, leaving orphans and widows......
Zhao Qingqing felt sorry for their mother, and couldn't help but work faster.
A few people worked quickly, and in less than half an hour, the mountain grapes were washed.
Jiang Yao walked in front with a basket, and the cub carried the basket on his back, leading his sister to follow behind.
The glow of the setting sun fell on the mother and son, revealing a touch of warmth.
When she got home, Jiang Yao took out the dustpan, spread the mountain grapes in the dustpan, and dried the water.
Qian Zhaodi came back with a hoe and was quite curious when she saw two dustpans of mountain grapes.
This thing is not delicious, it is very sour, and it is easy to get hungry after eating, so everyone doesn't like it and doesn't give it to children.
What did Yaoyao do when she picked so many wild fruits and came back?
"These mountain grapes can be used to make wine, and the wine produced is more durable than rice wine." Jiang Yao said.
Qian Zhaodi's eyes suddenly lit up.
The rice wine is not tolerant, and the sales are not so large, so it is brewed in a few jars and left there without brewing.
This wine can be aged for a long time, can it be made a little more?
