"Why not? What's so hard about that? Ma is a little careless, her granddaughter has just massaged her very comfortably, and she doesn't know when she learned the skill, she is planning to let her granddaughter be "filial" a few more times in the future.

Begonia, who once won the favor of the concubine with massage techniques in the court, continued to inquire: "I heard that many people want to learn from the Hu people in the Western Regions to make wine, but they can't make that taste. ”

"Someone else is someone else, and your grandfather is no one else!" Ma Shi spoke a lot more casually to his granddaughter, "My family has lived in Guazhou City for many years, and they are neighbors with the Hu people every day, and there are two wine shops on one street. With your grandfather's ability, watching people make wine every day, can't you learn a few real skills? What's so hard about that? ”

Haitang blinked and lowered her voice: "Really? So why can't anyone else learn it? It's not just our family that is neighboring with the Hu people. ”

"None of them are as smart as your grandfather!" Ma Shi glanced at his granddaughter and lowered his voice, "The wine produced by those two wineries is good, both have vineyards, and the wine is homemade...... Your grandfather paid attention to what ingredients they bought, what season and hour they used to make wine...... If you pay attention for a long time, you can probably guess what this wine is made of. ”

Begonia blinked again: "These two wineries ...... Didn't even buy koji, did you? ”

Ma Shi looked at her with some surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Haitang grinned: "There are also wineries selling sorghum wine in Guazhou, and they use koji to make wine, but the wineries don't use it, they ...... Will buy salt and sugar. ”

Ma nodded: "Salt is used to wash grapes, sugar...... Your grandfather has already found a caravan to buy a cart of rock candy to spare. ”

Begonia asked again: "Do you need glassware to make wine?" ”

"Of course, with clay jars, who can afford glassware?" Ma Shi glanced at his granddaughter, and asked in surprise, "How can you know so much Nirvana?" ”

Haitang said with a smile: "I used to sneak into people's wine shops to hide and seek, but I didn't ask them to find out. ”

"It's bad to let people know." Ma poked his granddaughter in the head, "The owners of those Huren wineries treat the winemaking recipe as a secret and do not allow outsiders to inquire about it. Fortunately, you are still a little baby, even if you are discovered, you will only enter when you are playful and ignorant. Don't mess around anymore! You're all old and so smart, who still believes that you really got in for fun? ”

Haitang nodded again and again, obediently agreed, and then went back to his room with peace of mind.

Very good, grandpa knows how to make wine, and he knows the key points that are easy to make mistakes, and the rest is to slowly explore the best way to make wine. She doesn't have to worry about it, she can continue to lie flat and do what she likes.

The next day, Cui Bo brought all the planks and tools she wanted, and at her request, sent her grandson Cui Xiaodao to her as an assistant.

Haitang didn't look for his second uncle Hai Chang'an and Cui Bo's son Cui Dazhuang, worried that adults would not be fooled. In contrast, Cui Xiaodao is one year younger than Haijiao, and he is also honest and honest on weekdays, and his mouth is still tight, so he is a more suitable tool person.

Cui Xiaodao was originally a small servant for the reef, but after the reef was reborn, he was already an adult's soul inside, and he was busy studying homework, practicing martial arts, and following his grandfather to the yamen to fight, so he naturally couldn't take care of his childhood playmate, who he almost forgotten. Cui Xiaodao has been helping his parents, helping the family with some chores, and learning to drive with his grandfather and father. It's a pity that he is slow to learn words and is not clever enough, otherwise Haixiya would have arranged for him to be a ready-made scholar for Xie Wenzai and Cao Lu.

Although Cui Xiaodao is still a child, he is also strong and powerful, and ordinary rough work is not difficult for him at all.

Under the command of Haitang, he quickly split the planks into a suitable size, and helped her make a mortise and tenon structure, and quickly made four wooden troughs half a foot wide and three feet long, tied straw rope as a handle, easy to carry, and left a leak at the bottom of the trough.

Begonia checked the firmness of the wooden trough and was quite satisfied.

She commanded Cui Xiaodao to transfer the soil from the flower pot to two wooden troughs, and prepared to use them to plant the grape seedlings that the golden fruit "bought" back - in fact, it was prepared for her twenty grape seeds.

These pots were originally planted with grape seedlings, and the soil used was also specially made, which was specially prepared by Haixi Cliff to find knowledgeable people, which was the most suitable for the growth of grape seedlings. It's a pity that the weather was bad before, and these pots of seedlings died on the road, but the soil can continue to be used, which is much stronger than the soil dug in Suzhou City.

Five pots of mud are just enough to fill two troughs, and the remaining two troughs have to be excavated.

Haitang asked Cui Xiaodao to move the bulky flower pots back to their original storage location, and the wooden trough that had been filled with soil could be moved to the open space of the Sanjin Courtyard to prepare for planting grape seedlings or grape seeds.

Grandpa Lu Bainian, who entered the courtyard for the second time, looked at it curiously, walked over and asked with a smile: "Tang Tang, are you useful for the remaining two wooden troughs?" ”

Haitang looked back at him: "Grandpa Lu, my grandma said that if you want to grow something, it is better to plant some vegetables, ginger and shallots or something." I've already asked Jinguo to buy seeds. Do you want to plant something too? ”

Lu Bainian said with a smile: "I met a herb in the market yesterday, it has roots, and I think it is possible to grow it alive, so I want to try it." This medicine is good, and it should be used by several of us old men, but it is rare to come across it. There is no such medicine in the city's hospitals, and pharmacies occasionally have it, and the price is not low. If we could grow it ourselves, we wouldn't need to go to the streets to try our luck. ”

What's so hard about that?

Haitang quickly used the remaining few pieces of wood to make a small wooden trough half a foot square, also with straw rope and leaking holes, and handed it to Lu Bainian: "Grandpa Lu take it and use it, when the herbs are planted alive, and when you need to divide the plants in the future, I will make a big wooden trough for you." ”

Lu Bainian took the wooden trough with a smile: "Good boy, Grandpa Lu has thanked you." He carefully looked at the wooden trough for a few moments, "You have a good craft, where did you learn it?" ”

Haitang had already thought of an excuse: "When I was in Guazhou in the past, there was not a carpenter's workshop on our street, and I would occasionally go to see the old carpenter working. I forgot about it, but I just remembered it when I saw the knife making a wooden trough. ”

Lu Bainian thought about it, there is indeed such a carpenter workshop: "The old carpenter's craftsmanship is mediocre, and the things he makes are also rough, you never look for him when you make furniture at home, you all go to the back street to find a better craftsman, I didn't expect you to learn the craft from him." No wonder Brother Wen Zai often praises you for being smart. You can learn a craft with a few glances, but it's not ordinary smart. ”

Haitang snorted: "Actually, it's not difficult, it's all some superficial work, it's enough to deal with it." I've never seen anyone else do it. ”

In fact, before she entered the palace in her last life, her family set up food stalls to do small business, and she learned the basic carpentry skills of making and repairing tables, chairs and benches, and after being transferred to the Shanggong Bureau as a weaving female official, she learned some finer woodworking techniques in order to improve the loom. Now she is small and short-handed, even if she has developed a little strength from practicing martial arts and drinking nutrient solution, it is not easy to show it in front of her family. This level of carpentry skills is sufficient, and showing too much can make the family suspicious.

Lu Bainian didn't think much about it at all. He watched the begonias make wooden troughs, and it seemed that there was really nothing difficult. He felt that he could do it with his hands, and planned to try it another day.

An old man and a young man began to repot the herb, and at this time, Hai Changan came back from outside and brought back good news to Haitang: "Tang Tang, didn't you say that you wanted to learn to ride a horse before?" It's just that there is no place at home, and it is not peaceful outside the city. A small school can be set aside in the city today. Ming'er, will you come with me to take a look? ”

Haitang was very surprised: "Where is the small school field?" ”
