Chapter 133: Grapes
In the main courtyard, Aunt Zhang and Xing Ruolan, who were quick with their hands and feet, had already cleaned up the bedrooms in the main house.
Aunt Zhang is still according to Jiang Zhixia's living habits, placing tea cups and snacks brought from home on the couch table.
Xing Ruolan was holding the basket and picking up the scattered petals on the ground----- Aunt Zhang said just now, the petals should be put into the Gong bucket to taste.
Seeing Jiang Zhixia coming back, Xing Ruolan hurriedly came over to salute.
Jiang Zhixia sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard and stopped her from saluting.
"You don't have to be so polite. Just look at Aunt Zhang. I don't have that many rules. As long as you are faithful and willing to do things, it is good. ”
She said to Xing Ruolan with a smile.
She understood Xing Ruolan's anxiety, so it was best to make her words clear in advance.
Xing Ruolan smiled shyly, and the uneasiness in her heart dissipated a little.
"Ruolan, I saw a grape trellis in the back garden. Has that always been there? ”
"Back to the girl, the grapes and vegetables were planted by the maid and the maidservant's father. Because the slaves lived on the Zhuangzi for many years, those vegetables were planted around the hot springs and grew extra well. Therefore, I begged Grandma Li to plant some daily vegetables and melons and fruits behind the rockery. Because the maid and the maid's mother are very fond of eating grapes, the maid's father has more varieties, and because the fruit is particularly sweet, the more and more they plant. ”
Xing Ruolan explained carefully.
After finishing speaking, seeing that Jiang Zhixia was silent, he said in a panic: "If the girl doesn't like it, let my father get rid of it." ”
Big families love flowers. Even Grandma Li only reluctantly agreed at that time.
"There's nothing to dislike. It's just that when I saw the grapes, I remembered something. Are there many grapes grown in the nearby villages or villages? ”
Jiang Zhixia saw that the little girl was anxious because of the expression she had just thought about, and hurriedly said comfortingly.
"Quite a lot. This grape is easy to grow and easy to live, and it occupies a small area, but it bears a lot of fruit. Therefore, in the nearby Zhuangzi and villages, almost every household will plant some. Some people can't eat it, so they pick it and sell it at the market to exchange it for chewing. ”
Xing Ruolan really wanted to understand these situations when she saw Jiang Zhixia, not angry. So, she also let go of her courage and explained it carefully.
"So?"
After listening to the little girl's words, Jiang Zhixia slowly groaned.
Xing Ruolan saw that Jiang Zhixia was pondering, and she didn't dare to say anything, just stood by and waited for a reply.
Aunt Zhang came out of the bedroom and saw the pensive Jiang Zhixia and the standing Xing Ruolan, and didn't say much, just gestured and told Xing Ruolan that she went to the big kitchen in the front yard.
After Jiang Zhixia thought about it, he didn't want to delay too much, so he stood up and said, "Let's go." Your dad is probably waiting in the front yard. I went over to talk to him about something. During this time in Zhuangzi, you should follow me and serve. ”
Xing Ruolan nodded happily.
Last night, she had a good chat with her father, and she felt that it was better to serve by Jiang Zhixia's side than to work in the shop.
Although she is not an official slave, she has been in Zhuangzi for so long and understands that after an official slave like them, she has no future, so she can only rely on her master.
I went to the shop, I didn't know the place, and she was a girl, so I was really scared.
Jiang Zhixia took Xing Ruolan and slowly walked to the front yard while chatting. Sure enough, I saw Xing Zhuangtou in high spirits, cleaning up the front yard. I can't wait to pick up every fallen leaf.
"Xing Zhuangtou," Jiang Zhixia looked at Xing Zhuangtou, who was busy with his work, and shouted with a smile.
"What do you command, girl?"
Xing Zhuangtou put the fallen leaves in his hand in the basket, and hurriedly ran to Jiang Zhixia to salute, "Does the girl want to check the paperwork?" ”
However, he saw that Jiang Zhixia came empty-handed, and he didn't take any paperwork, which was a little strange.
"It's not. There's no rush on that matter. In the next few days, it would be good to re-sign with those tenants. Besides, the terms and conditions remain the same, and they shouldn't have any objections. ”
Jiang Zhixia said not very concerned.
Again, there are no plans to change the farming.
"Well, there's really no hurry. Yesterday, a well-informed villager came to ask me. After all, Mama Wei didn't usually come to Zhuangzi, and those villagers saw a carriage pulling people to see the fields. Yesterday, when I called the mother-in-law of a few tenant families to come and clean up the house, the old slave had already told them that the grange had a new owner. However, because of the girl's indication, she only said that she had changed her master, and she didn't say anything else. So, they are also a little worried. Now, with the girl's words, they don't always have to run to ask the old slave. ”
Xing Zhuangtou said with a smile.
Now, he can continue to do Zhuangtou, doing things that are easy to do, and he can always retire in Zhuangzi. The girl can also follow the girl to the capital, not to mention seeing the world, and getting rid of this oppressive environment.
For him, it was all the best.
"Well, you're doing a great job. Just tell them that except for the owner who has changed, everything else will remain the same. Jiang Zhixia said indifferently.
"I saw grapes in the backyard. And you pay attention, and when the grapes are ripe, you go and buy some grapes and come back. I want to make a wine from grapes. ”
Jiang Zhixia groaned and said to Xing Zhuangtou.
When she ate grapes last year, she thought about wine.
In her previous life, she had read many times about home-brewed wine, and she had also drunk wine made by others. Of course, the taste certainly doesn't compare to the professionally brewed dry red and dry white. However, compared to the alcohol drunk today, it is still more than enough.
However, now there is no refrigerator, no plastic wrap, no wooden barrels, no glass jars, and I don't know if it will succeed?
Still, give it a try. Not bad money anyway.
At that time last year, one was that she was still worried about selling jewelry patterns.
Second, there is no one to handle the business of buying grapes and making wine.
So, I didn't plan for it.
Now, she has Zhuangzi. The wine can then be made and stored in the village.
She has a hand, and she is an official slave of a death contract. Unless she betrays him or she dies, this official slave belongs to her until she dies.
Moreover, she has a market. If the wine is made, it can be put in Brother Chu's restaurant to be consigned.
Plus, she's got money too. Even if the winemaking is not successful this time, she is not afraid to lose the cost.
She didn't want to open a liquor store anymore. I only opened a bookstore, and I felt that the backstage was not enough, and it was too stressful.
Therefore, in the future, for these transactions, she had better invest and rely only on investment income, and she didn't want to open a store by herself.
Because, there are so many dealings. If the strength of the owner is not enough, it is really a little difficult.
You can't find someone else to deal with everything.
In that case, this shop is your own or someone else's.
"Okay. Girl. ”
Xing Zhuangtou is really sincere because of Xing Ruolan. For Jiang Zhixia's orders, he is also loyal to carry out.
"If you are sure that you can start harvesting grapes, go to the capital to find me, and I will teach you how to make wine. As for the manpower... ”
Jiang Zhixia hesitated, is it a buyer? Or hire someone?
