Chapter 119: Mulberry Wine
"Madame, you're back."
As soon as Xionghong saw Su Jian, he greeted him: "Madam, the bathing water has been prepared for you." ”
"Hmm."
"Madam, there is one thing, the eldest prince wants the slave to tell him on his behalf. Mr. Mo went to Xiashan Village, and depending on the situation, he should have to delay for two days before coming back. ”
Su Jian stopped, she came back early today just to pray for Mo, but Qi Mo left? Is it really to heal the disease, or is it to avoid her?
"What is he going to do in the lower mountain village?" Su Jian really didn't have a good impression of Xiashan Village, and he asked them to buy bamboo because he wanted to help the girls there.
"The slave doesn't know, but I heard from a little kid who came to deliver the bamboo that someone in their village was sick, so Mr. Mo would go over."
Su Jian was noncommittal, and saw that Xionghong was still looking at her: "If you have something, just say it." ”
"That's the kind of lady, there was a little girl who insisted on giving her a basket of black fruits, saying that it was to thank her for letting her sell the bamboo, so that she could not be sold.
The slave and maid had never seen the fruit, and they were not going to accept it, but the child directly grabbed a handful of it and gave it to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid couldn't bear to refuse. Xionghong knelt in front of Su Jian and pleaded guilty.
Su Jian picked up Xionghong: "What fruit, show me." ”
Xionghong took the order, turned around and went to the kitchen to lift Zhulan out.
Su Jian looked at the bamboo basket in Xionghong's hand, only glanced at it, and his eyes lit up in an instant, it was a mulberry! It turned out to be mulberries! She couldn't wait to take a small but dark mulberry and put it in her mouth.
The red wanted to stop, but slowly. Her wife is too relieved, although this fruit is non-poisonous, but it has not been cleaned, she dare not say.
Su Jian tasted the taste of mulberries, which was not sweet, and even a little sour. But for her, who hasn't eaten fruit for a long time, it's already good to have mulberries to eat.
"Let the children in Xiashan Village sell bamboo, so that they have an income, but only such a child sent something to thank me, which shows that she knows how to be grateful." Su Jian ate several in a row, and looked at Xionghong: "You go to that child and ask her to help me pick mulberries." ”
"Mulberries?"
"It's this kind of black fruit, how many you want, a bamboo basket, I'll give her thirty yuan."
"Yes." Thirty dollars, the price is not low, and the child doesn't know how happy he should be when he knows it.
Su Jian stopped Xionghong, who turned around and was about to leave: "It's not safe to go down the mountain village, you call the blind bear to go with you, when you go to look for the child, if you find a mulberry tree, if you can buy a sapling, buy some, and the surrounding of the Zhuangzi field can be planted." It doesn't matter if you can't buy saplings, pinch a little of the most tender leaves on the tree, and stir-fry them is delicious. ”
Su Jian spoke, and quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, seasonal vegetables, the most tender and nutritious.
"That...... Madam, can you let Xiong Da accompany the slave? ”
"......" Su Jian paused, and looked at Xionghong suspiciously.
Looking at each other, Xionghong knew that she had said a lot, now is the time to be busy with farming, how can she be called Xiong Da! Madame will not allow it.
"Yes."
When Xionghong heard this, he couldn't believe it, and then thanked Su Jian and left quickly.
"Hmm...... Good sour. ”
Zhan Lei stuck out his tongue, his facial features were wrinkled tightly, how could his sister-in-law love to eat such a sour fruit?
Su Jian heard Zhan Lei's voice, and then noticed that the child didn't know when he had come to her side, and not far away, Su Qin was also standing there. It's just that Su Qin looked at her......
Su Qin looked at Su Jian intently, his eyes were full of distress, his pearl-like sister married into the General's Mansion, and it didn't count if she was busy all day long, she didn't look like a girl wearing men's clothes every day, and now she was like a mud doll, and she could see at a glance that she was doing things herself.
"Little Jane, there is something you can tell them to do, you are the master mother after all."
Su Jian smiled, didn't answer Su Qin's words, and only asked, "Big brother, do you like to drink?" ”
Drink? He naturally likes it, but most of the current wine is too strong, and he can't drink too much: "What? ”
"Big brother, you can help me manage the workshop, take care of the children, I am going to give you a gift, you can taste it in about a month, drink it in the second half of the year, and keep it to teach you to love it." Su Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking of the taste of mulberry wine, she was also greedy.
"Drink, taste?" Su Qin looked straight at Su Jian: "You want to make wine?" ”
Su Jian did not deny it: "Big brother doesn't believe me? ”
Su Qin shook his head and nodded again: "Xiao Jian has too many skills, I find that I don't know my sister a little." ”
Su Jian's heart sank, and the smile on her face stiffened for a moment, she lived here naturally, and she forgot to hide it in front of the Su family, after all, she was not really Su Jian, but since she had started to do it, even if she hid, how long could she hide?
Thinking so, Su Jian returned to her nature: "I saw it in a book, this mulberry wine brewing is very simple, it is nothing more than throwing the picked mulberries directly into a clean jar without cleaning, pouring a few catties of spirits and some rock sugar, sealing it for more than a month, and then you can drink it." ”
There was a flash of light and shadow in Su Qin's eyes, is it so simple to make wine?
"When the things are ready, the eldest brother might as well make them with me, whether it tastes good or not, whether it can be drunk or not, it can be regarded as a secret between our brothers and sisters." Su Jian said.
Su Qin nodded, and at this moment Su Jian was talking to him, which made his heart iron. He could feel that the relationship between their brother and sister was getting closer.
"Sister-in-law, I also want to have a secret with you." Zhan Lei pouted, he had been looking at Su Jian for a long time, but Su Jian didn't look at him, he couldn't control it, he gently pulled Su Jian's finger.
Su Jian lowered her head and directly reached out to rub Zhan Lei's head: "Okay, then if you encounter something interesting next time, or if you get something that others don't know, you can tell your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law will never tell others, so that there will be a secret between us." ”
Zhan Lei nodded vigorously, he liked his sister-in-law the most.
The other side.
Zhang Dagang was about to enter Su Jian's courtyard to report on today's work, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the corner and grabbed his arm directly.
Zhang Da looked at Song Siqi thoughtfully, Song Siqi is now in the management school, and his clothes are much cleaner than when he was on the Zhuangzi: "You didn't say it before, don't get together if it's okay?" ”
Song Siqi looked at Zhang Da with solemn eyes: "Now is not the time to joke, don't tell me that you didn't find that there are many strangers outside the General's Mansion." ”
Zhang Da restrained the emotions on his face, and looked at Song Siqi's eyes with an unprecedented seriousness: "Although the General's Mansion is still not good inside, in the end, because of the change led by Mrs., some people naturally can't sit still." ”
"The general is not here now, and the lady does not know the most real situation, what should we do now...... Destroy all the crops? ”
