There were at least twenty or thirty people helping to build the winery this time, and just feeding them was a big deal.

When farmers encountered this kind of situation, they usually set up boards in the pigsty to cook, so that it would be convenient to pour water, but this place was too remote, so they finally built a shed directly on the other side of the creek, only two or three hundred steps away from where they worked. There was a fence between them, so the dust could not be blown over, which was incredibly convenient.

Twenty or thirty strong men can eat a lot in a day. Uncle Tang and Madam Zhou are both busy. Tang Junliang has to collect grain at home, and Qi Jing also has to prepare to build a new house. They are all very busy. It happened that Tang Shiyue was free, which was like a timely help.

So he asked Uncle Tang to take Tang Shiyue out to buy things every day.

Tang Sanshu just drove the cart and Tang Shiyue just paid. Tang Sanshu just watched the money go out like water, and felt really distressed. He advised her from time to time: "Yuer, country people don't need to eat so well, at least some meat is good enough."

Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Uncle San, if we treat them better, they will have more strength and will naturally work faster and more attentively."

Uncle Tang thought what she said made sense, but he still felt it was too much of a waste of money. It was like buying something for free.

He took the opportunity to tell his uncle Tang in secret.

Ever since Tang Shiyue was "freed from the crime", Fourth Uncle Tang and his wife could see a kind of "happy spirit" on their faces. Hearing this, they just smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, just listen to Yue'er."

Uncle Tang was somewhat speechless: "What does a little girl know! Lao Si, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should have a plan in mind."

...

...

"What are you planning?" Fourth Uncle Tang said with a smile, "Since Yue'er took over, she hasn't asked me for a penny. Why are you so worried?"

Uncle Tang's eyes widened in shock: "Could it be possible that he used Qi Xiaolang's money?"

Fourth Uncle Tang nodded with a smile. Third Uncle Tang thought for a moment and advised him, "You still have to be careful. How can they give you money for nothing? You don't know how much they will falsely report when they come to you for money!"

Fourth Uncle Tang said, "No, they are not that kind of people." He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Third Brother, don't worry about it. Just listen to Yue'er. I'll take care of anything that happens."

Someone called him over there: "Tang Silang!"

Uncle Tang agreed and hurried over.

Although Uncle Tang was still worried, there was nothing he could do but to continue as he was.

Actually what Tang Shiyue said was right, their meals were authentic, you could see meat in every dish, especially big slices of meat, and there was always steamed rice, Hu pancakes and rice to keep you full. Everyone knew what was going on, so they naturally did their best, just like building their own house.

The winery was changing every day, and it only took ten days to complete the entire building inside and out.

That day was also an auspicious day, so after dinner, we invited an old carpenter to come and warm the beams.

To warm the beam, two long benches should be placed in the new house, and the "central beam" should be placed on the Wanzi cake. Then, red and green cloth strips should be tied on both sides of the central beam, with the red one on the big side and the green one on the small side, with the big one on the east side and the small one on the west side. Then, a big red flower made of red cloth should be tied in the middle of the central beam.

Then the host's uncle Tang Si came forward, lit the firecrackers, and then lit the sesame candlesticks under the central beam. At this time, the invited old carpenter also chanted something. This is called warming the beam.

The next day, it was time to put up the beams.

Two large enamel hammers need to be made in advance, painted red, one foot and two inches long, six inches wide, and three inches thick, in an octagonal shape, with a wooden handle in the middle. A small hole is made at the end of the wooden handle, and a red string is passed through for easy hanging.

Then he made dozens of small enamel hammers, all of which were regular octagons with a side length of one inch and two tenths of an inch. He drilled a hole in the middle and inserted a chopstick as a handle, which was also dyed red.

The host has to prepare candies, glutinous rice balls, steamed buns, and a pair of Wanzi cakes in advance, and put them all in a bamboo basket. Then, a long rope is tied to each end of the middle beam so that carpenters and bricklayers can use the rope to lift the beam up when putting up the beam.

Then the beam raising began. The east family set off firecrackers, while the carpenter on the east and the bricklayer on the west each held a rope and climbed up the ladder. At the same time, the carpenter chanted loudly.

After that, the two men climbed to the top of the ladder, pulled the rope and slowly lifted the "middle beam", and then used large faucets to firmly place the middle beam on the capital that had been made in advance, and then hung the faucets on the long base under the middle beam.

The carpenter then picks up the bamboo basket filled with candies, grabs the contents of the basket and throws them to the host and the people around. This is called throwing the beam, and the ceremony is completed.

After everyone has finished grabbing and the fun is over, they will leave and let the sun bask in the tiles for a day before going back to the tiles.

After the beams are put up, the house is basically built and everyone will drink beam-raising wine as usual.

Tang Shiyue went to the town twice and ordered a lot of dishes from the restaurant. Several women who helped were busy all day, bringing up the hot chickens, ducks, fish and meat. They also invited the clan leader and the head of the village to come and drink Shangliang wine.

When the dishes were served, Fourth Uncle Tang brought out the extra bayberry wine at home and said with a smile, "It's not that we are stingy, there is only this much wine left. This is the kind of wine we sell to the big restaurants in town. Everyone, have a taste."

They divided the soup with a smile, and each table only got a small jar of soup weighing two kilograms.

The clan leader, the head of the village, and Qi Jing were all sitting at the main table. In addition, there was a leader from the Cheng family, who called himself Gususheng.

The Cheng family troupe is well-known and often travels all over the country. They accepted Qi Jing's invitation a few days ago and happened to be free, so they rushed over yesterday.

When he came over and saw that it was such a poor and small place, Gusu Sheng was a little dissatisfied, but since he was already here, it wouldn't take much time to build a house like this, so he took the job. Today happened to be the day for the New Year's Eve dinner, so he also sat at the main table.

Hearing the villagers exclaiming repeatedly, as if they had drunk nectar, Gususheng smiled, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart.

He has always been fond of wine. Whenever he arrives at a place, he would first look for the local wine. It can be said that he has tasted all the famous wines in the world, even tribute wine. How could he care about the wine brewed in a small countryside place?

Fourth Uncle Tang had already come over with the jar and was smiling as he poured wine for them one by one. Gusu Sheng took a look and saw that the wine in the crude wine bowl was bright red with a sweet aroma, like wine, but not wine. It actually looked very good.

Gusu Sheng was a little surprised, so he picked up the wine bowl with three fingers and took a sip. The taste was mellow and fragrant, a flavor he had never tasted before.

Gususheng was surprised and asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said, "This is something we brewed ourselves, called Fushou wine. This is one of the varieties, called Fushou summer heat relief wine!"

Gususheng asked, "Are there fruits and medicinal herbs in here?"

Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said yes. Gusu Sheng asked, "What are these medicinal herbs?"

Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said, "This is our secret recipe."

After Gususheng finished asking, he remembered something and said to Qi Jing, "Is this the recipe from the young master's family?" Qi Jing just nodded. Gususheng said, "I wonder what's in it? How can it be brewed into such a delicious dish?"

Qi Jing raised his eyebrows and did not answer. The clan leader tried to smooth things over by saying, "Since it is a secret recipe, it is not easy to tell others."

If it was anything else, Gusu Sheng would naturally know the importance of it, but when it came to wine, he was itching to drink it. He couldn't help but taste it again and again, closing his eyes and saying, "Yangmei, Baijiu, wolfberry..."

He could actually taste out the recipe? Fourth Uncle Tang was a little surprised and a little worried, and glanced at Qi Jing.
