Chapter 155 Brewing



It was getting dark outside. Her husband had not returned from sending someone to town. Everyone in the house had left. Sun Bailian did not stay here any longer and took her two children home first.

The children helped him feed the chickens, sheep, horses and rabbits in the garden behind. At this time, the chickens went into the chicken coop, the ewes led the lambs into the sheep shed, and the horses in the stables were wagging their tails. One position was still empty, and the other horse had not returned yet.

Qi Wanfeng ran water to bathe the children, and he stood at the door to look out. He looked to the end of the road, but he still did not see his husband's carriage return. Two dogs stood beside their master, and suddenly the two dogs ran out. Qi Wanfeng's heart moved, and a carriage appeared at the other end of the road. His husband had returned.

"Woof woof woof..."

Cao Xiangnan heard the sound of the dogs and called out to the two dogs. The carriage approached and he saw the person waiting at the door. As soon as the carriage stopped, he jumped off, strode over, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

He knew that this person was probably waiting for him, and he was worried because he hadn't come back for a long time.

After they came out of Yipinzhai, they hurried to the place that Liu the shopkeeper mentioned and found the village. It was a very small village called Meijia Village, with only a dozen households in the village. They went into the village to ask and found the Master Mei San that Liu the shopkeeper mentioned.

At that time, Liu the shopkeeper asked them about the location of the village, and he wanted to buy tea sets from them. It turned out that the porcelain set was made by Master Mei San's son occasionally, but because of the special color, they took it to the town to display it, and by chance someone bought it. The buyer chatted with them for a few words and said that he wanted this kind of tea set. They came back to continue firing it and they really fired it.

So when Cao Xiangnan went there, it was really a coincidence that Master Mei San and his son had successfully fired this kind of tea set. Cao Xiangnan negotiated with Master Mei San about the style of the bottles they wanted, and ordered a batch of bottles and several sets of tea sets. After that, they negotiated the price and agreed to receive it in three days, and they hurried back from Meijia Village.

Meijia Village is at the other end of Fenshui Town. It was getting late when they returned to Caojia Village, but fortunately they returned before dark.

"It's good that you're back, husband. I left some food for you and Brother Cao Gang." Qi Wanfeng shook his head and saw Cao Gang pulling the carriage in the back. He said hurriedly, "Brother Cao Gang, come in and have a meal. Bai Lian has already taken the children home."

"Well, I'll take the horse to the back first." Cao Gang nodded and pulled the horse in.

He untied the lasso, untied the horse, pulled the horse into the stable and tied the reins to the pillar. He lit the hanging lantern, put hay and water in the trough, touched the horse, let the horse eat the hay, and then he came out.

The children had all taken a bath and came out. An An saw that his father had returned and ran while shouting "Dad".

"Uncle Xiangnan." Xiangzi and Xingxing shouted.

"You all have taken a bath, right?" Cao Xiangnan saw that An An was about to climb on him, so he quickly stopped him and pulled his clothes. He was full of sweat after running outside all day. He said, "Dad is all sweaty, stinky. You have already taken a bath. I will hold you after Dad has taken a bath."

"Be good, your dad hasn't eaten yet. Let your dad eat first." Qi Wanfeng reached out and touched the heads of several children. He knew that his husband had not eaten yet. "Husband, I'll bring the food to the table for you to eat." As he said that, he walked to the back door. The food left was still hot on the stove. There were still some sparks in the stove, and the dishes were still hot.

Cao Xiangnan followed Qi Wanfeng and helped to bring up the food. Cao Gang also came from behind at this time and said, "Brother Cao Gang, come and eat. We will go filter the wine after dinner."

"Okay." Cao Gang sat down on the chair with the dishes and chopsticks already placed in front of him.

It was getting dark very quickly at this time, and Qi Wanfeng lit the lanterns in the dining room. Cao Xiangnan saw that it was getting late and the little ones were still here and didn't go back to sleep, so he said to the little ones, "An An, Xiangzi and Xingxing, the three of you go play math formulas for a while, and then go back to sleep."

When An An was alone at home, he had no company, and he was the only one who could play with him. Now there are three children, and they have company in everything they do. The three children can play arithmetic formulas as games, which also strengthens their memory. Several children play by themselves, and go to sleep when they are tired, and they don’t need to be coaxed.

"Go." Qi Wanfeng touched the children's heads and let them go to play.

An An went to pull Xingxing to go together. Xiangzi, who was behind, turned back to look at his uncle Xiangnan. Seeing his uncle Xiangnan waved to him, he followed him.

After the two of them finished their meal, Cao Xiangnan moved the two jars of wine brewed for the first time and put them on the table. After opening the lid, a smell of alcohol came out. Cao Xiangnan took a deep breath, glanced at Cao Gang, and asked, "How is it?"

Seeing Cao Gang staring at the pot, he chuckled and directed Cao Gang to help, "You hold this cloth, I will pour out the wine, and this needs to be filtered out first." The

grape skins and seeds inside have been soaked to no color. He tried the wine yesterday and found that it no longer had a sweet taste, which means that the alcohol has been fermented and can now be filtered out.

They first filtered the wine into a large basin. Once the wine was poured out, the whole room was filled with fragrance. The first filtered wine was a bit turbid. Several children smelled the aroma and ran over, standing aside and watching quietly. Qi Wanfeng coaxed them to go back to the house to sleep, and they obediently left.

The second time the wine was filtered out and put into another clean pot, Cao Xiangnan deliberately scooped out a small half bowl and handed it to Cao Gang, "Try it and see how it tastes." He said.

Cao Gang took the bowl and drank the wine in two or three gulps, and nodded.

"Do you believe me this time? We will make a lot more later. When the bottles are ready and brought back, we will send some to Manager Liu's counter. Let's hurry up and pick all the fruits these days. Pick as many as we can and make wine from them." Otherwise, once the season is over, the fruits will rot on the branches.

The reason why we waited for the bottles to be returned before filling them and sending them over was to negotiate a good price for the wine. Cao Xiangnan set a high price for the wine from the beginning.

There are so many Yipinzhais in Fengchao. Let's say there is only one in Nanyang City. I'm afraid they can help him digest this batch of wine, not to mention other places. Cao Xiangnan has a hunch that if these wines are bottled in high-end bottles, they will be very popular once they are launched.

Cao Xiangnan also tried it himself. The alcohol content of this wine is relatively low, but it is much better than the wine in this world that is as light as water. However, the lower alcohol content of this wine also has its advantages. Most people can drink it, even boys can drink it.

However, this alcohol content may still be a little low for a rough man like Cao Gang. Cao Xiangnan thought about finding time to make white wine and try it. "When we are free another day, let's try to make white wine with rice. The taste is more fragrant. I think you may like white wine more." He remembered that when he was a child, he saw people making white wine in the village. He still remembered a little bit. He would try it another day. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it fails, it doesn't matter.

"Okay!" Cao Gang now believes that Cao Xiangnan can make better tasting wine for him.

I guess no one knows that his best drink is wine. In the past, the most luxurious thing in the army was to drink a sip of wine, but there were not many opportunities to drink a sip of wine. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really didn't believe that those fruits could make such good wine, but Cao Xiangnan said that rice could be used to make a more fragrant wine. After hearing this, his stomach growled and the wine bug in his stomach woke up.

The filtered wine is still very turbid. I think it needs to be stored for a while. Now it happens that the temperature is relatively high in summer. These wines can be fermented for the second time. The color will be better at that time. Cao Xiangnan sealed the filtered wine and explained to Cao Gang who was looking at him, "These wines will taste better after being stored for a while."

All wines are the same. The longer they are stored, the purer the taste. In his previous life, he heard that a bottle of red wine could be sold at a sky-high price. Cao Xiangnan also plans to store a batch of wine. The older the wine, the more fragrant it is.

If he can make white wine by then, he can also put some white wine in it. The men may like it more.

After the first batch of wine was brewed, Cao Xiangnan was confident. Don't say that he was worried that these wines would not be brewed at the beginning. But now that there is a successful case, the worry is gone.

If this batch of red wine is sold, it can make a lot of money.

"Brother Cao Gang, you go back with the lantern." The road outside was dark, Cao Xiangnan handed a lantern to Cao Gang and asked him to go back with the lantern, fearing that the people at home would be worried after waiting for a long time.

After sending the man out, he came back and closed the door of the yard.

"Let's go in, Wanfeng, have you taken a bath?" Cao Xiangnan asked when he came back and saw Qi Wanfeng standing at the door.

Qi Wanfeng just remembered that he hadn't taken a bath either, and shook his head. On weekdays, he would have taken a bath at this time, but he forgot about it today after waiting for his husband to come back.

Cao Xiangnan stretched his head to take a look, but didn't see the little ones. He asked, "Are the children asleep?"

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng nodded. He had just entered the house and saw that the children were asleep. "Husband, let's take a bath and go to bed early." He knew that Husband had been busy all day and was tired at this time. They had to get up early tomorrow morning.

"Okay." Cao Xiangnan had a sly smile on his face. He distorted the meaning of this sentence.

Let's take a bath too...

Let's take a bath too...

Honey, you said this!

At this time, the little lights were all asleep, and Cao Xiangnan fearlessly pulled Qi Wanfeng into the big bathroom.

Under the ambiguous light, a small gasp was heard from inside, "Husband!" Qi Wanfeng immediately regretted it. He shouldn't have indulged his husband so much. It was really getting too much!

But he had to admit that in his heart, he actually liked the way his husband treated him.

"Wanfeng..." When putting the man, whose whole body was as red as a boiled shrimp, on the bed, Cao Xiangnan bit his red earlobe and smiled softly, "Just follow your truest thoughts. You like it too, don't you?" The

shy person stretched out her hand to hook her husband's neck and closed her eyes. Qi Wanfeng blocked her husband's mouth hatefully...
