Chapter 66 Brewing
When he arrived at the intersection of Liujia Village, Lin Yousheng went to get the pottery jar alone, while the others waited for him to come back at the intersection and continued to walk into the village.
When the ox cart drove into the village, it happened to meet another ox cart, which was also filled with villagers coming back from the market. Jiang Yan looked at it curiously. This year, there were very few ox carts in the village who rushed to the town at the same time. It seemed that after the village found the water source, everyone relaxed a lot, at least they were willing to spend the copper coins on their bodies.
The people on the ox cart opposite were also looking at them, especially those women, pointing and talking, mostly envious people. Jiang Yan ignored those voices and did not want to negotiate too much.
Let a few people pack up their things and go home. This is how human nature is. If you are too bad, others will also discuss it. If you are doing well, others will also discuss it. The only difference is that more ridicule or more envious.
"The clay pots you customized are so beautiful, they are fat and fat, but unfortunately they are too expensive. He doesn't want to bargain with the kilnmakers." Lin Yousheng touched the clay pots with love, and forty clay pots were neatly placed on the ground.
"Twenty-five essays are indeed a bit expensive, but it has been white and customized the shape, and it has also increased the time. There is nothing to do if it is expensive." Jiang Yan turned over the bottom of the bottle, and the lifelike Jiang characters were engraved on the bottom, which made her very satisfied.
"It's very expensive..." Lin Yousheng sighed helplessly. Ordinary jars cost only a few cents per, and a better one for a dozen cents. At most, they are willing to buy a few oil and salt in their homes. Who would be willing to spend so much money to order so much, which is simply a waste.
"It's a pity that this plug is a bit bad." The plug is also a small stone kiln. It would be much better if it could be replaced with a wood plug. The jar is a little small, and it's about one pound.
Seeing that it was placed in the yard, the color was much darker than when I picked it back yesterday. Jiang Yan touched her chin and thoughtfully. There were still many grapes on the mountain. When she was shopping on the street today, she also inquired about the wine market. She hasn't heard of the wine market in this era, at least there is no wine in Yong'an Town.
So she plans to make more wine. Since she wants to make it, she must make it well. Therefore, the bottles should be high-end and beautiful, and unified, and make it into an independent brand. Then the bottles should not be filled with just one pound, but also customized larger ones, five pounds or ten pounds.
"No matter so much, I will make the grapes I picked yesterday first. Jinhua and Xiaomeng, you can make lunch first. The eldest and second brothers, you can go and carry water and wash the grapes."
When Lin Yousheng heard that he was going to cook, he immediately pulled Zhang Yanzi and said, "Then let's go back first. If there is anything later, we will come and help."
"That's so kind. Now I have something to do to ask you for help, but I'll have a meal first."
"No need...we cook at home too..."
The two of them spoke in embarrassment. The family of three was here, and no one at home cooked. They were just embarrassed to eat at the Lin family. For them, food was very precious, and no one was rich. Eating for multiple people was a burden to the family.
Jiang Yan said seriously, "You are my friends, and I have also ordered pottery jars for me. I didn't even tell you the travel fee. Besides, there is a business at home now, and our two families don't need to divide them so carefully. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to pay off the calculations of a few children you used to help you. Since I'm making money now, I'm treating you to a meal. What's the point? Or, I have a bad reputation and you don't want to get too close to me?"
"No...Xiao Jiang..."
Zhang Yanzi waved her hand nervously, trying to explain, but she had always been stingy and couldn't say anything for a long time. Jiang Yan immediately snatched the words: "I know what you think, but don't mess with those who are stupid. We should eat and drink. If I have no money in the future, I have to borrow things from your house!"
Speaking of this, the few people couldn't help laughing, but they had never paid back the things they borrowed from their original body.
The family of three also stayed for dinner. The two adults were somewhat restrained and embarrassed, but the puppy was different. The child was thick-skinned and brave. He would lie at the kitchen door and stare at the pot inside. His actions made Lin Yousheng and his wife blush with shame, but they didn't say anything, because they were also so greedy that Aunt Jiang's food was so good.
If they weren't old and thin-skinned, they would have wanted to squat at the entrance of the kitchen and watch together. If they couldn't smell the smell at the door, they would have a good idea.
Two quarters of an hour later, the table was prepared with food, a plate of refilled meat, a plate of wild vegetables, a pot of big bones and wild mushrooms, a plate of fried fat intestines and a plate of spicy dried fat intestines, and a pot of pork stewed cabbage, which was extremely rich. Seeing Lin Yousheng and his wife were stunned.
This meal is better than what they eat during the Chinese New Year!
The two of them each held a bowl of brown rice and brand new chopsticks, but they didn't dare to pick up food for a long time. Not long ago, the children of the Lin family were still hungry and looked blue in their faces. They were shaking when walking, and they had to rely on their own support. Now they eat so much. I am afraid that no one in the village dares to eat this brown rice like this!
After dinner, Lin Yousheng and his wife were really guilty and always felt that they had taken a huge advantage. The two rushed to Lin Dong and Lin Nan's work to clean the grapes. As long as Jiang Yan told the children what to do, they both rushed to do it.
Jiang Yan looked at the couple who were so simple that they smiled, and had to ask them to help crush the grapes and put them into a large bucket that had been cleaned and dried. Jiang Yan bought a lot of candy and poured them in. Several people worked together to move the bucket to the cellar and sealed the mouth of the bucket with a lid. In order to avoid air leakage, Jiang Yan covered a layer of gauze and applied a thin yellow mud to seal it.
In this way, the grapes will naturally ferment in the barrel and can be drunk in about a month.
There were not many grapes picked yesterday, and the two baskets were just filled with two large barrels.
"Yousheng, I also want some wild grapes and green leaves. Look, are there any familiar families in the village? If you find two people to help pick them on the mountain, I'm a little worried about you and the swallows going up the mountain. It's safer to find a few more people to go."
"What's the insecurity in the mountains? During this period, the village has cut wood and bamboo and walked out of a road. The big insects on the mountain have all gone deeper as they listened to the movement and ran deeper, and they can't meet them." Zhang Yanzi said with a smile. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't dare to go up the mountain.
"That's right, don't waste that money. We will pick up whatever you want."
Jiang Yan shook her head, she had other things to ask them to do: "I mean, you don't have to go up the mountain, just help me harvest at home. A few children at home have to set up stalls in the morning and go to the mountain when they come back in the afternoon. Sometimes they can't be busy, and the water in the mountains has been lured down. They have to be busy irrigating the water into the fields these days, otherwise they will not be able to harvest rice this year."
