Chapter 29 Winemaking
"Miao Miao, what are the aunts talking about?"
Miao Miao heard Li Duyun's inquiry, and a flush instantly appeared on her face, and then she said hesitantly:
"No, nothing, nothing to say, let's eat first."
Li Duyun glanced at Miao Xiaomiao suspiciously, but did not ask any more questions, but said to the aunt present:
"You aunts haven't eaten yet, come and eat with us."
Everyone present naturally came after eating, and they all knew what was going on with Miao Xiaomiao's family, not only did they come after eating, but they also brought things from home.
Some people brought eggs, others brought bacon, and even if they were not willing to bring them, they also brought their own pickled sauerkraut or sun-dried dried vegetables and the like.
At this time, hearing Li Duyun say this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"You guys go eat, let's talk here."
Li Duyun looked at the happy aunt who was talking about it suspiciously, and did not continue to investigate, and walked into the kitchen to eat with Miao Xiaomiao.
"Miao Miao, do these aunts usually like to come to the house to chat?"
Miao Xiaomiao looked outside, then shook her head and said:
"No, it's just a special day."
"What's wrong today?"
Miao Xiaomiao naturally wouldn't tell Li Duyun that they came to see him, but just said with a smile:
"They said that my brother and I had no one to take care of them, and they wanted to find me an in-law."
Miao Xiaomiao originally planned to say this, but she wanted Li Duyun to dispel her thoughts, but she didn't expect Li Duyun to frown, and after thinking carefully for a while, she said:
"It's time to find a mother-in-law, and when I go home, I'll ask my parents to come to your house to propose, by the way, are there any customs in the village, or what do you need for the bride price?"
"Huh?"
Miao Xiaomiao was stunned for a moment, she originally meant to make him give up, but she didn't expect Li Duyun to think that she wanted him to propose to herself.
"You misunderstood, it's the people in the village who want to find me another in-laws."
Li Duyun's originally gentle expression instantly turned cold.
"Miao Miao, did you tell them that you have found a good mother-in-law?"
"Huh? Not. ”
"I'll go out and tell them later."
Li Duyun said, putting down the bowl of eating. 、
Miao Xiaohe, who was eating obediently next to him, saw that his big brother, who had always been gentle and gentle, suddenly became angry, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the rice, afraid that this big brother would vent his anger on himself for a while.
Miao Xiaomiao was afraid that he would go out and say something nonsense, so she hurriedly reached out and dragged him back.
"Don't go, I didn't promise them."
Li Duyun was said by Miao Xiaomiao, and his tone instantly softened, and then he reached out and patted the top of Miao Xiaomiao's head.
"Well, since I promised to take care of you, I will definitely take good care of you, and now you are still young."
Miao Xiaomiao was a little crying and laughing by Li Duyun's tone of coaxing the child, but she was afraid that he would go out and say something nonsense, so she didn't fight against Li Duyun anymore, and could only eat in silence.
When Li Duyun came out after eating, the aunts present were still sitting in the courtyard chatting, and when they saw Li Duyun coming out, they hurriedly beckoned Li Duyun to sit over.
And Miao Xiaomiao was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.
By the time Miao Xiaomiao came out, Li Duyun had already chatted with the aunts present.
Miao Xiaomiao was a little surprised, and then heard them discuss how to grow grain to increase grain production, and how to remedy the yellow leaves of grain at home.
Li Duyun listened carefully beside him, and then gave his professional opinion. 、
When several aunts saw that Li Duyun was so easy to speak, the adoration on their faces became even more obvious.
Thinking that the grain she had just soaked had been almost four hours, Miao Xiaomiao went back to the kitchen to boil water, planning to cook the grain together.
When the aunts outside left one after another, Li Duyun turned around and went back to the kitchen, and when she saw Miao Xiaomiao's movements, she had some guesses on her face?
"You're going to make wine?"
Miao Xiaomiao was a little surprised, how did Li Duyun know?
"How do you know?"
He pointed to the koji on the table, and then to what was cooking in Miao Xiaomiao's pot.
"Do you have anything for distillation at home?"
Miao Xiaomiao shook her head, then pointed to the hose in the corner and said to Li Duyun:
"But I bought a hose and can pick one up myself."
Li Duyun frowned and looked at the hose, then sniffed the hose again, and finally shook his head.
"This thing must be exposed to high temperature when it is distilled, and it will produce toxic substances when it is used to make wine, so I will get you a set of professional ones when I go back."
Miao Xiaomiao looked at Li Duyun's serious appearance, not like he was joking, and hurriedly said to Li Duyun:
"You don't even ask me what I'm doing with wine? What if I'm just having fun? ”
Li Duyun heard Miao Xiaomiao say this, and a smile appeared on his face.
"As long as you like it."
Li Duyun didn't delve into the reason for Miao Xiaomiao's winemaking, but just said this to Miao Xiaomiao dotingly.
Even if she was just brewing it for fun, or if she was going to brew something, he wouldn't stop her, as long as she was happy.
Miao Xiaomiao didn't expect Li Duyun to have such an attitude, and her favorability towards Li Duyun instantly increased a few points.
Even if the adults in the family are there, when they hear that they make wine, they will ask the reason and consider the implementability, but Li Duyun will only help him get things done, rather than getting to the bottom of it.
For such a person, Miao Xiaomiao will still like it very much.
In the next job, Li Duyun helped Miao Xiaomiao together, and soon made things almost done.
This wine should be brewed well, not a day or two, but after half a month of fermentation, during this time, Miao Xiaomiao stayed at home, Li Duyun went to the vegetable field to take care of those vegetables during the day, and also taught the villagers how to grow crops.
After returning in the evening, he was not busy sleeping, but borrowed a few elementary school textbooks to teach Miao Xiaomiao to study.
Even Miao Xiaohe, who was only two years old, listened to it next to him, and more or less memorized two ancient poems.
Half a month later, Li Duyun really brought a set of distillation utensils, Miao Xiaomiao stood next to him, filtered out the fermented wine, and then poured the brewed wine into the still, and lit a fire underneath.
It didn't take long for Miao Xiaomiao to see that water began to drip down from the utensils where she was distilling.
This is the pre-liquid coming out.
Miao Xiaomiao took it for a few minutes, waited until the wine containing impurities in front became clear, and then changed to another tank to take the wine in the middle.
There are three types of distillation, starting with the highest alcohol content, but also the most turbid, and this kind of wine is generally not used to drink.
