Chapter 201: Ideas for Brewing Wine
Everyone was having a lively discussion while eating.
Either they were discussing food or the Su family.
Everyone was celebrating that Mr. Su had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.
It was difficult for the villagers to pass the imperial examination, let alone get the first place.
If a village produces a scholar, the villagers can go out with their backs held high and show off to people from other villages.
Not to mention, Mr. Su is so knowledgeable, everyone thinks that he will continue to take exams in the future.
It would be even more amazing if you could pass the imperial examination and become a juren.
There are not many successful candidates in the whole town.
That night, everyone was having a lively time while eating.
After the meal, the villagers of Liuhe Village helped to clean up, washed the dishes and sorted things before going back.
Although Shen Yueyao's family was busy all afternoon, they were also very happy.
Mrs. Meng drank some wine out of joy and felt a little dizzy.
She looked at Shen Yueyao and said with a smile: "Mother Yao, our family is getting better little by little now, all thanks to you."
"Mom, you've said this many times. We as a family don't talk about this."
"Mother is happy, mother is happy in her heart. Back then, the food at the banquet held by the Marquis' Mansion was not as delicious as the food tonight. The food tonight is delicious, and I am happy to eat it."
"Yao Niang, your cooking skills are amazing. They're delicious. I saw everyone saying that leeks, potatoes, enoki mushrooms and other dishes are good. Some people even secretly wanted to ask me how to make fish less fishy."
Shen Yueyao supported Madam Meng and smiled, "Mother, I've already told the village head that I'll sort it out and see how many people in the village need seeds. We'll distribute them when the time comes, and it'll be considered as borrowed. When the grains and vegetables they grow are ripe, they can give us some vegetables and potatoes."
"As for the fish, clean the fish's internal organs, add onions, ginger, garlic, and a little wine, and there will be no fishy smell. Just tell them, mother."
Madam Meng nodded.
"It's just that this wine isn't as good as it used to be in the Marquis' Mansion."
Shen Yueyao explained: "This is the wine you asked someone to get. The wine in our town is very ordinary."
There aren't any good wines in town, mainly because of people's spending power.
A few villages away, there is a village where someone makes wine and opens a small winery.
Shen Yueyao learned where the villagers would go to get wine for the New Year.
It was also what Madam Meng said, and then she asked someone to get some wine. The taste was okay, but it couldn't be compared with the wine in the technological age.
Old Madam Meng even saw double in front of her eyes.
She dazedly said instinctively: "I think the wine made by Yao Niang must be delicious."
Hearing this, Shen Yueyao was stunned.
Brewing wine?
She had never considered making wine.
But she is not incapable of it.
The wine market is huge and the price of wine is high.
If you make good wine, you can make a lot of money.
You can also make wine.
Shen Yueyao herself likes to drink wine.
But there are no grapes here. If you want to make wine, you need to plant grapes.
You can also make fruit wine and various beverages.
Thinking of this, Shen Yueyao felt a little moved.
"Mom, when we have time later, we will make wine. We can make all kinds of wine and we can drink it."
If wine is made, Shen Yueyao believes it will become popular throughout the Great Yan Dynasty.
It’s quite exciting to think about it.
After Mrs. Meng and Su Erya returned.
Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao tidied up and took Dabao and Erbao to take a bath.
After taking care of Dabao and Erbao and putting them to bed, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi returned to their bedroom.
Su Xueyi stepped forward and hugged Shen Yueyao distressedly and said, "Mother Yao, you have been busy all afternoon and can only rest now. You have worked hard."
Almost all the meals were cooked by Shen Yueyao.
Of course, there are two pots, and Su Erya is also helping.
But he knew that Yao Niang was the one who had to work the hardest, as she had to arrange everything.
Shen Yueyao met Su Xueyi's distressed eyes and said with a smile: "It's not hard. I'm very happy tonight. Let the villagers be happy too."
"While having dinner tonight, I could sense that the villagers' living conditions have improved. Everyone loves to talk and laugh."
"And everyone seems to like eating leeks and potatoes, and they also want to grow leeks and potatoes."
"Many people came to ask about it after dinner. I told them I'd ask the village head to help count how many potato and leek seeds are needed tomorrow. We'll calculate it together then."
"Later, I will teach everyone how to grow potatoes and leeks."
"Chives are easy to grow, mainly because growing potatoes is different from other vegetables."
"Also, our second workshop is ready. We've been putting out job postings these past few days. We'll officially start recruiting tomorrow. I expect a lot of people will be back, so we'll be busy for the next few days..."
Shen Yueyao talked a lot to Su Xueyi.
Talk about what you are busy with recently.
Su Xueyi listened carefully. Seeing how motivated she was in everything she did, he also seemed to be full of strength.
"I want to find some time to visit my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and my third brother and his wife."
Su Xueyi wanted to accompany Shen Yueyao back to her parents' home.
Shen Yueyao was folding clothes. She paused and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad will definitely be happy to see you."
"You won the first place in the case, and my mother can show off to everyone she goes out."
Especially when her eldest brother, his wife, and second brother and his wife found out, no one knew what their expressions would be.
Oh, it should be said that it is not the second brother and his wife.
Anyway, my eldest brother and sister-in-law have changed a lot now. They often bring things to visit my parents.
As for Liu Shaolei and Zou, they would probably be furious.
They used to sneer at Su Xueyi and thought she couldn't take the scientific examination because of her broken leg, and looked down on her.
Going back at this time would be a slap in their faces.
Shen Yueyao didn't think she was a good person, and she felt very happy when she thought about that scene.
"Okay, then I'll send a message to my parents tomorrow. I'll recruit people for the workshop in the next two days, and we'll go back the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, Yao Niang, you can make the arrangements."
"Also, I'm going to the government office to collect some silver and six dou of rice. I'm going to use the silver to buy some things, and I'm going to keep some of the six dou of rice at home and give some to my parents."
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "You are really thoughtful."
The people here have their own customs. I heard that eating the rice given to the scholar can help you share in the good fortune and also make your children smart and promising.
So the rice we brought back should be very popular.
Shen Yueyao gave Su Xueyi some pocket money again, but Su Xueyi wanted to buy things for her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it was also his intention to use the money she earned herself.
The two of them fell asleep early while talking.
In the dark morning before daybreak, the dogs in the village started barking.
Shen Yueyao thought it was daybreak, and opened her eyes when she heard the dog barking.
She yawned and said, "I thought it was daybreak."
Su Xueyi hugged Shen Yueyao and said, "It's still early, let's get some sleep first."
At this time, Shen Yueyao didn't know that many people came early after learning that her second workshop was recruiting people today.
Even if they had to wait in line for more than three hours, everyone felt it was worth it.
Fortunately, the weather was warm and not cold, so everyone didn’t think anything of queuing outside the workshop.
There are also quite a lot of people who come to line up early, and they chat when they get together.
