Chapter 54 Bayberry Wine



The crow covered its head with its wings and hummed angrily.

The white cat curled up the corner of his mouth in a wicked smile.

"Meow~" The bald guy is not obedient, so I beat him up.

The crow pecked it in frustration.

"Ga~" Shut up, you big stinky cat! Xu Qingzhi ignored them and went to the back mountain to pick bayberries. There was no one around, so she pinched her fingers and a dozen paper people flew in the air, working diligently.

The two little ones followed her happily, looking at the flocks of chickens and ducks in the back mountain, their mouths watering.

The chickens and ducks were raised freely in the bayberry forest. The ducks liked to play near the ditch, and the chickens were pecking at insects everywhere. The big cat suddenly pounced over and scared the chickens away.

Xu Qingzhi brushed off the chicken feathers on his clothes, knowing that the big cat was a sensible person, so he let it play.

After the paper man picked two large boxes of bayberries, Xu Qingzhi went down the mountain carrying the bayberries.

She didn't feel like cooking lunch because she was eating alone. She went to the field to pick a cucumber and some fresh shallots. She fried the shallots into shallot oil, cut the cucumber into thin strips, boiled noodles, and made noodles with shallot oil.

"Meow~" Master, I want to eat too.

"Ga~" Master, I want one too. Add a fried egg and chicken leg to the noodles.

"If we don't have enough time to fry the chicken legs, we can fry an egg." Xu Qingzhi heated the oil, beat two eggs into it, and fried them into poached eggs.

There was an egg in each of the two little ones' food bowls, and noodles were added to cover them.

Xu Qingzhi likes to add eggs to his noodle soup, but not to his mixed noodles, so he only fried two eggs for the two little ones.

"Gah~" This scallion oil noodles smells so good.

The crow ate happily.

The white cat also enjoyed the meal.

"Meow~" Master, please cook more next time. I have a big appetite and can eat ten more servings.

"Next time." It wasn't that Xu Qingzhi didn't want to cook more, it was just that there was only a handful of noodles at home, and she had already cooked them all.

For now, she can still afford to keep them.

When she was in the world of immortal cultivation, two big eaters almost ate her to death. If she hadn't had the chance to obtain the spiritual energy space later, she really couldn't afford to support them.

The most exaggerated incident was when she made lotus leaf chicken rice with four chickens for the two little ones, and then the two little ones knew that the eldest brother had brought back a goat weighing several hundred kilograms, so they stole the goat and made a whole roasted goat as a snack.

From then on, everyone in the sect knew that she had two big-eating spirit pets.

Why did the whole sect know about it? Because this matter was written in black and white on a big-character poster, and she was criticized by the whole sect, with the reason being: If a son does not teach well, it is the father’s fault.

Xu Qingzhi still felt aggrieved at that time, but he still patiently taught the two kids that stealing was wrong.

From the moment she rescued the two little ones and brought them back to the sect, she was like an old mother. When she disliked them, she really disliked them, and when she liked them, she really liked them. During the hundred years of loneliness in the world of immortal cultivation, only the crows could chirp in their ears, and the big cat allowed her to knead them to entertain them.

"Ga ga ga~" Master, next time when you make noodles in the spiritual space, please add ten of my favorite chicken legs.

"Well, sure. It depends on your performance." Xu Qingzhi finished his noodles, wiped his mouth, tasted a freshly washed bayberry next to him, and put a few in the two little ones' food bowls. "This is what you worked hard to cultivate every night. How does it taste?"

The two little ones have been taught well by her. Taking something without being asked is stealing. They no longer steal food.

So the two little ones went to water the plants every night, but they never tasted a single one.

The crow took two pecks to get a taste of the food, and its pecking speed immediately became visibly faster.

The white cat had just finished eating one when the crow had already finished its one. The little bird stretched its neck over and pecked at the bayberries in the white cat's bowl.

The white cat swung its claws at the crow, but it dodged.

What bad intentions could the little bird have? It's just greedy.

"Gah~" Master, it's delicious. I want more.

Xu Qingzhi gave a few more to the crow and a few more to the white cat.

"Meow~" Master, can you make fruit wine?

The wine that the owner made to celebrate her master's birthday was really delicious. Unfortunately, there were too many people and not enough wine, so the dog didn't get to taste enough. This fruit is delicious, and the wine made from it must be delicious too.

The crow flapped its wings happily.

"Gah~" Does it taste the same as the wine back then? I want to drink it, I want to drink it!

Xu Qingzhi had never tasted bayberry wine, but after hearing the two kids mention it, he became interested. "It must taste different from wine, but you can try it."

"Quack~" I went to the spiritual space to feed the piglets.

The crow had not forgotten the principle of not eating for free, and that labor was the most glorious! He entered the spiritual space first.

The white cat followed closely behind.

"Meow~" Baldy, wait for me.

With the two little ones around, Xu Qingzhi didn't have to worry about the chickens, ducks and pigs in the space. He could even think about when to buy a few more sheep. He could roast whole lamb and stew some mutton soup in the winter, which would keep him warm.

Xu Qingzhi knew that someone in the next door village raised black goats, but it was inconvenient to buy them and place them in the spiritual space, as it would be easy to be exposed. She would wait and see later.

At that moment, Xu Qingzhi packed the bayberries and eggs to be sent to his third aunt, drove his tricycle to the town and sent the express delivery.

The courier boss hadn't seen her for a long time and asked her, "Hey, why don't you send vegetables recently?"

Xu Qingzhi: "The vegetables haven't grown yet. It will take another week."

"Okay, call me anytime when you have goods." The courier boss breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, boss. I'll pick up a package by the way."

After she picked up the express delivery that her third aunt sent to her mother, she strolled around the town, bought two eight-liter sealed transparent glass jars, two glass wine barrels, rock sugar and rice wine, and drove her tricycle back home.

There were still two kilograms of bayberries left from the ones she had picked before, so she went to the back mountain to pick some more bayberries. When she brought them back, she weighed them and they weighed about nine kilograms.

She only needed ten kilograms of fruit, so the eight-liter jar would be enough to make two jars.

The bayberry fruits are plump and bright red, making them a good choice for making wine.

It was difficult to operate outside, so Xu Qingzhi simply took the raw materials into the spiritual space.

Clean and dry the bayberries and glass jars. Add the bayberries and rock sugar in layers, pour in rice wine to cover the bayberries, and cover tightly.

This bayberry has the addition of spiritual spring water, which makes it taste very good, so using rice wine as the base will not cover up the flavor of the bayberry itself. If the wine itself has a strong flavor, it will suppress the flavor of the bayberry.

Now we just have to wait for the bayberry wine to be brewed. After opening it, separate the pulp and the wine, pour it into a glass wine barrel, and you can drink it directly by unscrewing it.

Xu Qingzhi kept one of the two cans of brewed tea in the spiritual space, and placed the other on the storage shelf in the living room, both of which are good places to avoid light.

There are still two kilograms of bayberry left at home.

She went to the kitchen and found dried hawthorn and licorice, so she made some sour bayberry soup. After it was cooked and cooled, she put it into an empty glass wine barrel and placed it on the water rack.

By this time, it was almost evening.

There was a sound of a car outside the house. Xu Qingzhi looked outside and saw a familiar white car with its headlights on, driving towards the house.

Mom and Dad are back.

As soon as Wang Yanmei got off the car, she took out a disposable plastic cup with an egg in it.

"Take it and fill your stomach first. Mom will cook right away. Your uncle Wang and his family are moving in tonight. We just met them on the road. Your dad asked them to come over for dinner."

Xu Qingzhi took the egg and knew at a glance that it was the egg that was washed and cooked in the shell to be put into the dish of candied dates, pork offal and peanut soup. There were only ten eggs for a table of ten people, neither more nor less.

Her mother couldn't bear to eat it, so she brought it back for her.
