The rainy season is endless.

It's not that it keeps going down, in that case, don't say that you can't stand it on the ground, and God can't stand it.

It's probably the next one, the next one, the next two, three, or four or five days, and then a little bit of a day or two, and so on and on and off for about a month.

If it takes more than a month and the rainfall is too heavy, there is a high chance that there will be heavy flooding this year. If the rainfall is less than a month and the rainfall is low, there is a possibility of drought.

Since the first rainy season, it has lasted exactly one month to this day.

Taking advantage of this relatively idle time, whenever the weather is clear, Chen Fan is doing something that he has wanted to do a long time ago: making wine!

It is now the end of June, the middle of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and today is the 6th time to open the pot.

In other words, it has only been sunny 6 times this month.

In the open space in front of Chen Fan's new house, two large cauldrons were erected, one pot was sorghum, and the other was boiling water, which was scooped into the large water tank next to it to cool after boiling.

The miscellaneous grains that were previously received from the brigade headquarters are now only sorghum.

Chen Fan is already familiar with the process and process of winemaking, and not only that, but the four of them are also very familiar with the process of winemaking.

So he pulled a chair and sat under the long wind and rain corridor, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the big stove over there from a distance.

The main thing is that now the weather is starting to get hot and it is uncomfortable to be too close to the stove.

In the wind and rain corridor on his left and right, with the gate as the center, there are 6 large tanks with a height of one meter on each side, a total of 12 tanks.

Eleven of them are the results of his previous brewing, all of which are left to ferment, and the last empty vat is prepared for this pot of sorghum.

At this time, he held a small teapot in his hand, and from time to time he took a sip to replenish his water, and at his feet were Duoduo and Qiuqiu were playing, and not far in front of him were two lambs bouncing, and the foal was running before and after running happily.

The foal has grown a lot taller, with a height of nearly 1.3 meters at the shoulder, and it is estimated that he may reach 1.65 meters tall when he grows up, which is also a tall man.

The little mare rests in the stable, and without his mother by his side, the foal can have fun vigorously, and always likes to go to the stove, watch for a while, run back, and then can't help but come over, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and

The giant panda Rolling leaned back on the chair where Chen Fan was sitting, letting him touch his head, holding the bamboo in his mouth all the time, ignoring the two babies on the grass mat next to him who had not yet opened their eyes and opened their mouths to scream.

The baby panda has been born for 36 days, and it can be seen that the eyes have been beaten, and the body has grown to more than 20 centimeters, but unfortunately the hair is still relatively sparse, and the pink flesh can be clearly seen.

The most outrageous thing is that they have grown so big, and they haven't opened their eyes for more than a month.

Chen Fan has very rich experience in breeding and veterinarianship, but he doesn't know when these two little guys will be able to open their eyes to see the world, and they can't help but muttering in their hearts, how long will it take to grow into flowers?

Huang Ying came over with a weighing rod and pinched her tumbling face first, "Eat and eat, you know how to eat, and it doesn't matter if the baby is hungry or not." ”

Rolling lines did not move, eating bamboo by themselves, two small eyes staring at her intently, thinking to himself what is this person going to do?

Huang Ying scooped up the long one and put it on the weighing pan, and quickly tossed the scale, "Well, two catties and 4 taels." ”

Chen Fan nodded lightly, 1.2 kg, okay.

Putting Changchang back on the straw mat, Huang Ying grabbed the water again, "This one is a little heavier, two catties and 9 taels." ”

Chen Fan looked at the meaty water and couldn't help grinning, this is almost three catties, he is definitely a big fat boy.

When Huang Ying put down the water and carried the scale rod into the house to make a record, Jiang Lili came over again and picked up a baby panda and stuffed it into her arms.

Rolling instantly, he threw the bamboo, turned over and lay on the ground, and let Jiang Lili grab the other baby and put it on her stomach, motionless to let them eat the buffet.

Yang Ju and Liu Dan were staying not far from the stove, watching the fire in the temporary earthen stove become smaller, Yang Ju turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, do you want to add fire?" ”

Chen Fan smelled the aroma and said loudly, "No, it should be fully cooked, but for the sake of safety, it will be boring for a while." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and then a happy smile appeared on their faces.

After learning pottery and cooking, I also learned how to make wine, which is great!

Guarding Teacher Chen is like guarding a big treasure, and I don't know when I can catch any treasures.

It's winemaking!

There are so many people in the commune, and the potters can be used forever after buying them, and maybe they won't be able to sell them one day. Learning to cook may not be able to make money, unless you can go to a state-run hotel, or go to be a master craftsman like Liu Jiaojiang, but who will invite them to a few young girls?

Wine is different, as long as there are still people drinking, they are not afraid of not being able to sell it. As long as the wine is good, no one will pick who made it.

The old Tang of the 7th team became a well-known "rich man" because he could make wine, and he earned more money from winemaking every year than he earned at work.

He also doesn't accept apprentices, and every time he makes wine, he locks himself in his backyard, at most his two sons help him, and regards his craft more than anything else.

And through this month's study, several of them have initially mastered the craft of winemaking, and there are several different wines, as long as these wines come out in the end, there is no problem, it is much stronger than Lao Tang.

This harvest alone will not be in vain to live in the youth spot.

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at Chen Fan in unison, thinking silently in their hearts, if they could tie up Teacher Chen, it would be ......

Then the two looked at each other again, and a fake smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

complained silently in my heart: It's so fake, Teacher Chen definitely doesn't like her!

After a while, Chen Fan put down the teapot, got up and walked to the stove, and began to move on to the next step.

Spread the sorghum to cool, then mix the koji and put it into the jar......

As soon as the program came down, the four girls were already sweating.

Chen Fan?

Since they want to learn to make wine, they must do it themselves, it is better to do it than to watch it ten times, Chen Fan is next to him, let them learn to their heart's content, this is giving them a chance.

After closing the lid of the last water tank, Huang Ying exhaled a long breath, raised her arm to wipe her sweat with her sleeve, turned her head to look at Chen Fan, and asked, "Teacher Chen, when can I drink this wine?" ”

Chen Fan snorted twice and said with a smile, "Rice wine will almost be ready for wine next month, but it's best to cellar it for a period of time, and the liquor is still early." The liquor will be fermented for more than 3 months, and then it will be stored in the jar, and if you want to drink these wines, wait for the end of the year. ”

Some liquors only need a few days to ferment before they can be distilled, but the recipe in Chen Fan's hand requires fermentation for more than 3 months.

The final distillation will only take a few hours, so just wait.

When the four girls heard this, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Yang Ju let out an "ah" weakly, leaned against the pillar, and groaned, "Do you have to wait until the end of the year?!" ”

Huang Ying's eyes rolled slightly, "Then if it is sold for wine, wouldn't it be a loss?" ”

"What's the loss?"

Chen Fan pointed to this row of 12 large vats, "If it weren't for the rain, so much wine could be brewed in a week, and after more than three months to complete the last step of distillation, rice wine can be sold to the outside world without even distilling, how long can a vat of wine be sold?" Half a month or a month? That's not enough time for you to be idle? ”

Yang Ju suddenly said, "That's right, it doesn't take time to make wine, and it can be done in the evening." No wonder they said that Master Tang of Team 7 has almost never missed work, which is equivalent to earning for nothing. ”

The other three all nodded slightly.

They also found that winemaking has more advantages than pottery, and pottery also needs to be made into pottery, which may delay work, but winemaking will not.

Chen Fan smiled, stretched his waist, and waved his hand at them, "There is still unused boiled water in the water tank, go get water and wash it." ”

The four girls glanced at each other's embarrassed looks, and immediately blushed, and quickly ran away giggling.

Chen Fan was just about to enter the house, when a shout suddenly came from a distance, "Is Teacher Chen at home?" ”

Hearing the voice, he immediately strode out.

The rain had already wet the ground soil, especially since it was still newly excavated, so it was a little muddy and difficult to walk.

Chen Fan's steps were steady, but when he walked downhill, he saw Master Wang and the others wearing rain boots and clogs, and their feet were full of mud and climbing up.

Behind them, there were several mule carts.

This is to send furniture to Chen Fan.

A month ago, Master Wang was ordered to make furniture for him, and now a month has passed, with the joint efforts of more than 4 teams of carpentry masters, all the furniture has been completed.

Several batches have been sent before, and today is the last batch.

Chen Fan said hello first, hurriedly went over to help push the cart, pulled several board carts up the top of the slope, and then took out the smoke and dispersed it, and then said to Master Wang, "Why did you just come here today when the sun was clear, just come back a few days later when the road is dry." ”

Master Wang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't wait, don't wait, this rainy season is estimated to be over, and when the rainy season is over, it will be the busiest time for our construction team, so finish your work here first, and do the work of the unit with peace of mind." ”

What else can Chen Fan say? I can only thank him, "Hard work." ”

They are all old acquaintances, and Master Wang is no longer polite to him, and stretches out his hand, "Hurry up and move, and finish eating Teacher Chen's meal at night." ”

Chen Fan immediately laughed, "This is not a rubbish, hospitality is a must, but the food is not good, don't dislike it." ”

When he stepped on the wind and rain corridor, he threw off the muddy clogs on his feet, walked up the steps barefoot, and laughed, "If the food in your house is not good, then there will be no good food in the whole Lujiawan." ”

Chen Fan's face was full of helplessness, "Take off your shoes again, walk in directly, and you won't be able to sweep it later." ”

As a result, no one paid attention to him.

It's not that everyone treats him specially, mainly because people here go to other people's houses on rainy days, and they have to scrape the mud on the soles of their shoes before entering the door, and they can't bring the mud into other people's homes.

And he looked clean here, and he was carrying heavy furniture, so he simply threw off his shoes and entered the door.

After a few people went back and forth twice, all the furniture was lifted in, and then the final assembly work was completed, and all the furniture upstairs and downstairs was complete.

These furniture are made of camphor wood and fir wood, which is also the most common wood in Lujiawan, although there are not too many bells and whistles in the workmanship, but the materials are solid, one is heavier than the other, and the process is all made of mortise and tenon structure, without using a nail.

After doing a good job, first use sandpaper to polish the brilliance, all the wood surface can not touch a burr, and then brush two layers of self-made pure tung oil, so that the surface of the furniture is shiny and bright, and it is very comfortable to look at.

If it is mixed tung oil, there will be a very large pungent smell, and the chemical components in it will be slightly toxic, but pure cooked tung oil will not, unless it is a person with a particularly sensitive sense of smell, you can smell a slight smell, but it is not pungent, and there is no harm.

Master Wang said before that the furniture for outsiders is mixed with cooked tung oil, because it is slightly cheaper, and when the smell dissipates, the effect will be the same. But for Chen Fan, he used pure tung oil, which had almost no smell.

After the last chair was put together, Master Wang put away his tools, pointed to the various furniture in the living room, and smiled at Chen Fan, "Look, does Fu meet the requirements?" ”

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up without saying a word, "Absolutely nothing to say." ”

Master Wang immediately raised his head and laughed, and the other masters were also full of smiles, as if they were very happy to be recognized by Chen Fan.

Chen Fan pointed to the sofa and smiled at everyone, "Don't stand still, sit, sit, I'll ask them to pour tea." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lili came in with a teapot, Liu Dan held a stack of tea bowls in the back, Huang Ying held two boxes in his hands, which contained melon seeds and peanut candy, and Yang Ju walked at the end, holding a large plate, which turned out to be cleaned tomatoes and cucumbers.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, and after a while, the tea will be poured and the fruit plate will be arranged.

Master Wang gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, "These girls, follow you, you are polite and courteous, and you will definitely not worry about finding your in-laws in the future." ”

The four of Huang Ying couldn't help but blush when they heard this, and ran out briskly.

Chen Fan sat on the sofa, looked at their backs, and greeted first, "You're welcome, do it yourself." ”

After a pause, he smiled again, "I don't have any fruit here, I happen to have fresh vegetables, so I'll replace these two." ”

One person immediately smiled and said, "These two things are fruits in our countryside." ”

As he spoke, he picked up a tomato, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

Chen Fan laughed twice, turned his head to Master Wang and smiled, "Huang Zhihao and Wang Chunling in your team are also very good, and they are making rapid progress in their studies." ”

When Master Wang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "That's not what I learned from you." ”

Huang Zhihao is a veterinarian of the 4th team, but unfortunately he failed to win the test against Yang Zhijun and them, so he can only be the veterinarian of the team, and Wang Chunling is a person from the girls' cram school, and now he is also learning junior high school and mathematics, physics and chemistry knowledge with Chen Fan, and he is also the niece of Master Wang, of course he is happy to hear it.
