Text 45, marriage

Tao Hong is so reluctant, but when she thinks about it, it's just an ancient jade, and it's not anything to love, compared to her relationship with Sister A's sister-in-law, this jade is too light. After a while, he took it off and stroked it in his hand for a long time, before he was reluctant to replace it in Tao Bi's hand, and advised: "This is the high-grade ancient jade of the Qin period, you can keep it, don't show ---it lightly."

"The --- Huo Wu gave you" Tao Bina was overjoyed and stroked carefully.

"Hmm---" Tao Hong nodded in agreement. He also advised: "Don't show people at will."

Tao Bi stretched out his finger and tapped Tao Hong's forehead and said with a smile: "Second Sister, you are so stupid to be a sister, you don't understand this point if your wealth is not exposed."

"Sister Hong---" At this time, Yan Ximei called outside the door

As soon as Yan Ximei entered Tao's house, she was indeed diligent, and she was enthusiastic and sent Tao Hong to the garden wine. Smile at people, be humble and polite.

Tao Hong replied: "What's ---."

"The fifth young master is here--- Yan Ximei shouted excitedly, he didn't say it clearly, and said again: "It's for the Liu family to give gifts, and I'm about to enter Zhuangzi."

"Oh, I know, you tell my Ah Da and let him lead someone to greet him," Tao Hong replied.

was about to go out, but was suddenly pulled by Tao Bi, hugged Tao Hong with a smile and enthusiasm, and sobbed: "Second sister, Sister is about to get married, Sister is reluctant to --- you."

"Sister, I can't bear you, fortunately, Ganquan Village is close to home," Tao Hong comforted.

Tao Bi hugged him tightly, and begged with rare humility: "Second sister, Sister begs you something."

Tao Hong is even more strange, when did Tao Bi say that she asked for words, she called her directly since she was a child, the eldest lady was full of style, and of course she was very happy to play for her sister. But I didn't know the bottom of my heart when I used the word Qiu, and asked: "Sister, what is it, you say, I must do what I can do."

"Well--- it's still the second concubine who is good to me---" Tao Bi didn't say anything, and said first: "Do you know that Liang Fengyi's sassy hooves married into the Wen family --- Ganquan Village at the same time."

The eight aqueducts are not big, and the red and white ceremonies in Ganquan Village are even more well-known, but Liang Fengyi's marriage to Ganquan Village is sudden, but for Tao Hong, it is not a matter, as long as she does not marry Huo Dao, she smiled slightly and said: "You marry the Liu family, she marries the Wen family, and it doesn't matter."

Tao Bi didn't think so, and said: "At the same time, if you marry into Ganquan Village, you will have to live under the same roof rafters in the future, who has a big pomp, who enters the village first, and ranks first, who will have a higher status in the village in the future--- Eryu don't you understand this?"

"Sister, you think too much, and you don't marry a house and treat a husband together, what is the difference" Tao Hong shook her head and smiled.

"Hmph--" Tao Bi snorted: "No, Sister can't lose on the first day, so how can she stay in Ganquan Village after that."

There is really no way to take this sister, Tao Hong shook her head and smirked helplessly, and asked, "Sister, what are you going to do--- then."

Tao Bi felt that there was a door, hugged Tao Hong in front of him, and said seriously: "Eryu, you help me talk to Huo Dao, tomorrow he will lead a group of brothers to be a team of relatives--- so that I can appear to have face, and no one will dare to bully me in the future."

Tao Hong was dizzy for a while, what was this sister thinking in her head, how did she come out again and again, and besides, the two Liu Wen families married, what to do with the Huo family, and what to do with Huo Dao, and asked him to lower his identity to protect his relatives. What's not a joke, Tao Hong pushed Tao Bi away and smiled: "I'm sorry, sister, I can't help you."

Turning around and about to go out, Tao Bi stomped his foot violently and shouted loudly: "Okay, if you don't help, I won't marry, and you don't want to marry Huo Dao---."

"Whatever you want, you marry and I don't marry ---" Tao Hong was already disheartened and lost confidence in this sister. Lift and fade to step out the door.

"Boom ---" Suddenly there was a sound of smashing in the room, and Tao Bi cried: "Tao Hong, do you want to force me to death?"

Tao Hong was helpless, but she turned around and looked back for a while, but she saw that her sister had picked up the scissors and put them across her neck, and a small hole had been broken, oozing blood, which frightened her to retreat in a hurry, standing in front of Tao Bi, and helplessly persuaded: "Sister, why are you doing this."

"Hmph--- losers don't lose battles, they were pressed down on their feet on the first day, then I still have fun alive, and I don't have the face to marry into Ganquan Village, so it's better to die" Tao Bi threatened.

In all kinds of helplessness, Tao Hong only nodded and sighed: "Okay--- I'll go and tell him, but I don't dare to guarantee that he doesn't agree with him, he is the captain of the Ganquan Village People's League, and he protects thousands of people in the whole village, not a small welcoming team."

Tao Bi is the one who sacrificed his life, as soon as he heard the promise, he threw away the scissors on the spot, hugged Tao Hong in his arms, and said with a smile: "Eryu is really good, as long as there is a team to protect relatives, I will be satisfied."

There are Tao Gen and Yan Ximei in the welcome gifts, Tao Hong doesn't want to participate, the garden wine has the villagers of Taoxia Village, and there are also the elders of the Tao family, her cousin and aunt help to manage it, and she is in no mood to pay attention to it when Tao Bi makes trouble, not to mention that Luo Kaishan helps take care of it. But the renovation of the winery cannot be presided over by no one.

Rolled up his sleeves, hung up his apron and went to the winery, watching the group of workers repairing the house happy.

"Everyone has worked hard---" Tao Hong went in, and he was in full swing to repair. Even the stove, the stove, the stirring pool, the fermentation pool, etc., were restored by Luo Kaishan--- exactly the same as when I was a child, and I was very gratified. In another ten days and a half months, the whole brewery will be repaired as before, and then the stove will be burned to remove the wet, and the sake can be made again.

The wine in the southeast of Longxi is slightly different, most of the Loess Plateau is made of sorghum, just like the drunken spring breeze in Ganquan Village, and the main ingredient of Zhu's Jiuhe Daqu is sorghum. The eight aqueducts have not only sorghum but also rice, wheat and corn. The difference lies in the raw materials used in its winemaking, which are fermented and brewed from five kinds of grains: high-quality sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat and corn. The ratio of these five kinds of grains, the method of using wheat as a starter has special requirements, which is also the secret recipe of the year. Moreover, because there is one last important process in the year, the peach blossoms that bloom in the early morning are picked, crushed and kneaded to wade, and then a certain proportion of peach nectar is added to ferment and blended with the wine in proportion, filtered and loaded into the secret jar again to ferment again, and then buried in the peach tree and stored in the snow for a year, then it can be taken out and drunk. And this secret recipe is only known to Tao Gen and Tao Hong, not even her sister Tao Bi. This is related to Tao Hong's mother's instructions before she died.

The first step is to make koji, the wheat is ground and stirred into koji, and then the koji is placed in a specific koji room to cultivate koji, and when this koji is made, it takes more than two months.

Tao Hong entered the koji room and looked at each piece of koji to see its color, the light color was like hay covering, and when it was deep, it was covered with wet grass, and the windows were opened regularly for ventilation. These are usually taken care of by Luo Kaishan himself, and it can be seen from the color of each piece of koji block, soft and moldy fermentation. It was just when she was intoxicated that suddenly a person hugged her waist from behind.

"Ah---" was frightened by a hug, waved her hand and was about to shake it off, but when she turned around, she saw that it was Huo Dao with a smile on his face, so she lowered her palm, held a small fist, and gently smashed it on his chest, and snorted: "The bandit --- scared me to death."

"Didn't I surprise you?" Huo Dao smiled.

"How did you get here," Tao Hong asked, puzzled.

Huo Dao still rubbed her waist tightly with both hands, pressed her in his arms, and said with a grin: "I haven't seen you for a long time, come and see ---."

"Shhh---h

"If you don't see each other for a day, don't you understand," Huo Dao said.

Tao Hong was ashamed and scolded: "You often use this set to coax the little girl."

"Just coax you, others can use it to rob it," Huo Dao said cheekily.

"Hmph---" Tao Hong was still very beautiful in his heart, but he pushed Huo Dao away and said, "The bandit habit has not changed at all."

He pushed Huo Dao and walked outside the Qu Room, saying, "Don't stay here--- go out and talk outside."

After a careful look, he closed the music room and accompanied Huo Dao to the drying field outside the wine shop. looked at Huo Dao in a daze, and said, "Ask for something for you---."

Huo Dao pasted it again, scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Do we still need to ask for it?

Tao Hong hesitated, she didn't know how to speak, and it was even more difficult to speak, but according to her sister's temper, she couldn't help but say it, and finally said: "Can you bring a team of people and horses to be my sister's guardian team."

"Ha--- your sister has such a big shelf--- she's not a princess, Gege, why do you want a family protection team" Huo Dao sneered.

Tao Hong turned around in shame, lowered his head and snorted softly: "If it doesn't work, forget it---."

"Let me think about it---" Huo Dao clasped his hands and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "You are begging me for the first time, and the bandits in Wushan and Guanshan are rampant, and it is reasonable to send a team of relatives, but I can't do it--- let alone favor one over the other."

said loudly: "In this way, I will let Gangzi lead a team of people to protect your sister, and let Xiaoshan lead people to protect Liang Fengyi, which is good."

Tao Hongdun's heart was overjoyed, so he turned around and pasted it, tapped it on Huo Dao's face, flew away and said, "I'm going to tell my sister that --- you are at your own convenience."

"It's really not kind, and I don't know how to stay with me" Huo Dao muttered aggrievedly, and suddenly shouted when he saw the back of the leaving: "It's a small matter to welcome relatives and get married, and it will be Laba Festival in a few days.

Ganquan Village Laba Festival Ancestor Worship, Branding Virgin Seal is heard, it is a grand event, for the bride is a symbol of entering the Ganquan Village, in the whole eight aqueducts have long been rumored, Tao Hong stopped his steps, and turned back, pulled Huo Dao to sit on the wooden squat, and asked: "Tell me about it, what should you pay attention to."

Huo Dao grinned and said, "You are so eager to marry my ---."

"Oh--- no" Tao Hong was ashamed, blushed, and said, "Am I asking for my sister?"

Huo Dao didn't want to say it, but he didn't need to say it, he just smiled and said: "What the hell are you doing, let Liu Yanzhi find Liang Fengjiao."
