Rice bran is needed to make vinegar.

When making vinegar, Xu Zhixin first asked the workers to crush the sorghum, then mix it with bran, sprinkle it with water, and steam it in a steamer. After steaming for three hours, it will be ready. After it is allowed to cool down naturally to a certain degree, it will begin to ferment.

This fermentation process is somewhat different from the fermentation of soy sauce. The raw materials need to be turned over constantly. Xu Zhixin asked the workers to turn the raw materials constantly during the fermentation period so that the raw materials can be fully exposed to oxygen.

The fermentation took many days. On the seventh day, Cheng Guozhong told Xu Zhixin the good news, which made her very happy. Her house was built.

Xu Zhixin immediately ran to see her new house. Although it was far from comparable to modern elevator apartments, let alone villas, it was quite good in this era.

The house has large windows and good lighting. Although the walls are painted white due to various restrictions, it looks quite refreshing. The walls in the kitchen and bathroom were also painted white at Xu Zhixin's request, and they look comfortable.

Xu Zhixin felt that the yard was empty and there was nothing in it, which made her feel bad, so she asked two male workers in the factory to go to the mountain and dig a wild peach tree and plant it in the yard. She also asked the team leader to ask the stonemason in the team to make a round stone table and several round stone benches to put in the yard.

With the addition of peach trees, stone tables and stone benches in the yard, the yard looked much better, and Xu Zhixin finally smiled with satisfaction.

A new home naturally needs furniture, and Xu Zhixin had to make furniture. Although there were many beautiful furniture in the villa in her space, they certainly could not be taken out and used. There would definitely be guests coming to her little home. The captain's family had such a good relationship with her, they would definitely come often, so she had to make new furniture.

Xu Zhixin asked the team leader for help and found a carpenter to make three tables, a dining table, a desk, a small table, four cabinets, a kitchen cabinet, a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, and a small low cabinet, as well as a bed and four chairs, two benches and three small benches.

The reason why there are so many chairs and stools is that Xu Zhixin thinks that since she is the factory manager, there will definitely be a lot of workers coming to her house sometimes, so there must be a place for them to sit.

All the furniture cost a total of 105.70 yuan, which was nothing to Xu Zhixin, just a drop in the bucket, but it was a lot of money for people in the countryside.

Rumors began to spread in Lu'an Brigade that Xu Zhixin was extremely rich, probably a millionaire with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, otherwise how could she have so much money to set up a factory, build a house, and make so many new furniture? Many families who married new wives bought new furniture but did not have the money to make so many furniture.

Some people lamented that if a family could marry Xu Zhixin as their daughter-in-law, they would be rich, and very rich, it would be like marrying the God of Wealth.

Many people heard this and wanted to marry Xu Zhixin. Among them, Lu Laomao's wife was the most enthusiastic. She was so impatient that she got up before dawn and prepared to go to Xu Zhixin to propose marriage.

"Mother of child, why did you get up so early today? You usually never get up until dawn." Laomao Lu was awakened by his wife who had just gotten up. He was very surprised to find that it was still dark and the sky was just beginning to turn pale in the east.

It was really unprecedented. This woman who never got up early actually got up early. She got up before dawn. It was really strange.
