Chapter 303 Rice Wine and Fruit Wine
Nanny Qiu was still in the habit of calling Madam Meng "Miss", a habit she had developed from a very early age.
Old Madam Meng looked at Nanny Qiu's family and could imagine how they were living. They looked like they were not getting enough to eat.
Even if the clothes were washed very clean, you could tell at a glance that they were old and had turned white from washing.
Old Madam Meng couldn't help but think of how they used to look. If it weren't for Yao Niang, they might still be like this.
After exchanging greetings, everyone met each other. Old Madam Meng hurriedly entertained Nanny Qiu and the others and asked them to rest first.
Nanny Qiu and the others naturally didn't feel tired.
They were very excited to see the young lady.
Especially when Nanny Qiu saw that the young lady looked in good spirits, she was even more happy for her.
Fortunately, when Shen Yueyao first built the house, she made it big enough and had enough rooms, so it was convenient to live in the front yard.
After a few words, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.
Especially when Su Daya talked to Fan Cuicui for a few words, the two of them recalled some things from their childhood and immediately became affectionate.
Of course, Fan Cuicui still treated Su Daya as her master.
Before she came, her grandmother told her not to be disrespectful.
She understood that her father's health and her second uncle's health were cured by the Third Madam. Not to mention that the Su family was originally their main family, they had to always remember the Third Madam's life-saving grace.
Even Madam Meng and Nanny Qiu had a lot to say.
Fan Xiaodao was originally following his grandmother, but his grandmother went out to talk, so he stood there not knowing what to do.
However, Fan Xiaodao was very obedient and sensible. He stood there looking at the house obediently, feeling that it was so big.
Dabao and Erbao looked at Fan Xiaodao, who was about the same age as them, and were also curious. They walked up to him and said, "Little brother, we will take you out to play."
Going out and playing?
In the past, Fan Xiaodao rarely went out to play with the villagers in the village because his family was from outside the village and everyone would bully him.
So most of the time Fan Xiaodao stayed at home to help his parents with chores, or stayed with his grandmother.
Grandma always takes him with her when she goes to town to set up a stall.
Fan Xiaodao is six years old, but he is very sensible.
Erbao also felt that his little brother was too thin and looked pitiful.
Now the children in the village have gained a lot of weight and are no longer this thin.
But Fan Xiaodao was at a loss, he turned around and looked at his parents.
Geng whispered, "This is our little master. You can go and play with him, but be careful to protect him."
Although Fan Xiaodao was only six years old, he usually learned to read and learn principles from his parents, so he naturally understood what the young master meant.
He nodded vigorously.
Dabao and Erbao don’t quite understand the hierarchy between masters and subordinates.
Just seeing that the little brother agreed to play with them, they happily took his hand and went to the street.
Now Dabao and Erbao are the kings among the children in the village.
Even though they were young, the older children in the village listened to them.
It is true that the eldest and second babies know more. They will tell them stories and give them new toys to play with. Most importantly, the eldest and second babies will also bring them delicious food.
They all envy Dabao and Erbao for having such a great mother who can cook all kinds of delicious food.
The malt sugar I had before was delicious, even better than the sugar my parents bought for me during the Chinese New Year.
They all felt unsatisfied after eating.
Every day they like to play with Dabao and Erbao.
Of course, when we returned home, our parents told them to take good care of the eldest and second children and not to bully them.
They are so nice to the eldest and second child that how could they bully them?
So when everyone saw Dabao and Erbao appear with a little boy, they were all surprised.
"Dabao and Erbao, who is this?"
"So thin, as thin as I used to be. Now that I can eat enough, I've gained weight."
Fan Xiaodao is indeed very thin and looks like he is malnourished.
But given the situation of the Fan family, they really couldn't guarantee that they would have enough to eat.
The chickens they raise at home lay eggs, and they save the eggs and sell them to make some money to buy some food.
Occasionally, Aunt Qiu would take out an egg for Xiaodao to eat.
No one else in the family was willing to eat it.
Since they were the little friends brought by Dabao and Erbao, everyone ran over and surrounded them, chattering and asking questions.
"How old are you? You look about three or four years old, about the same age as Dabao and Erbao."
"Dabao and Erbao are almost four years old, how can they be the same size? He looks older, but he's just skinnier."
"How pitiful! My mother brought me some eggs today and told me to eat them if I was hungry. I'll give them to you."
Some children felt sorry for Fan Xiaodao and took out cooked eggs for him to eat.
The main reason is that every household in Liuhe Village is now well-off and raises chickens. In the past, everyone saved the eggs laid by the chickens to sell for money, but now they can save the eggs for the family to eat to nourish their bodies.
So the children in Liuhe Village now have better living conditions and better food.
You can eat one or two eggs every day.
When they go out to play, their parents will give them a cooked egg so that they can eat it when they are hungry.
Everyone treated Fan Xiaodao warmly, but Fan Xiaodao was not used to it and felt a little overwhelmed.
But he was very confused. Are the people here so nice?
Dabao was very good at reading people's expressions. He looked at Fan Xiaodao's face and said, "Don't scare the little brother. His name is Fan Xiaodao. We are playing with him. Don't bully him."
"Don't worry, Dabao, we won't bully him."
Now they listen to whatever the eldest and second child say.
This is true even for boys of seven or eight years old.
There are many things for children to play together, such as hide-and-seek, skipping rope, playing with building blocks, etc.
At first, Fan Xiaodao didn’t know how to fit in, but when he saw them laughing happily, he couldn’t help but smile too.
Their eyes are bright.
Fan Xiaodao was not very good at playing activities, so Dabao and Erbao took him to play with building blocks. At first, he didn't know how to do it, so Dabao and Erbao taught him.
After Fan Xiaodao learned how to play, he had a lot of fun playing it.
Shen Yueyao told Fan Jiang and Geng about the current scale of the workshop at the stone table in the yard.
Both of them were shocked.
I didn’t expect that the owner could run a business even if he came to the village.
When they came to the village and saw the appearance of Liuhe Village, they felt that it was completely different from the village they had lived in before.
The old people were chatting leisurely on the street, and the children were running and jumping. The children didn't look thin, and the clothes they wore were not very good, but they were not torn at all.
It can be seen that this village is very different.
They asked where the Su family lived, and the villagers were very enthusiastic in giving them directions.
Shen Yueyaodao: "I have opened five workshops in total. It depends on which one you want to work in. After you go in, you will adapt to it first. Later, I plan to let you be the manager."
"If you guys help manage the workshop later, I'll feel more at ease."
Being trusted by Shen Yueyao like this, Fan Jiang and Geng were so moved that they didn't know what to say.
They thought to themselves that they must do their job well and never let their master down.
Fan Jiang and Geng have already treated Shen Yueyao as their master.
It can be said that because of their master, they feel that their lives have a sense of direction and are no longer so confused.
Besides, when they came here, their hearts were full of hope.
Just look at the villagers and you will know how good the workshop run by the master is.
Moreover, when they passed by the village, the villagers were chatting and talking, mostly about things in the workshop, so they probably knew a little about it.
"Master, rest assured, we will do our best."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Mother told me that you worked diligently and conscientiously in the Marquis' Mansion before, and you were loyal to the Su family. I am at ease with your work."
"Now one workshop is a chili meat sauce workshop, two are lipstick workshops, one is a facial cream workshop, and one is an embroidery workshop. It depends on what you want to do and which workshop you want to work in."
Fan Jiang said without hesitation: "We will follow the master's arrangements."
Geng also holds the same attitude.
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Geng, you go to the imported red workshop for a while to get used to it. Fan Jiang, you go to the chili meat sauce workshop to see how it's run. Later, I'm thinking of opening a winemaking workshop, and I'll arrange for you to work there."
Shen Yueyao thought about it and decided to open a wine-making workshop later.
Anyway, she knows the wine-making process, and now she has a lot of money, so it is no problem for her to open a wine workshop.
When they heard about the wine-making workshop, both of them were shocked.
They know best how much money the wine business makes.
Of course you need good wine. As long as you can make good wine, a jar of wine will cost hundreds of taels of silver.
However, the secret recipe for winemaking is usually in the hands of some big families, and ordinary people rarely know it.
It is because there are so few people who know how to make wine that wine is so expensive.
They couldn't believe that their master was going to open a winery.
Fan Jiang was very excited at the thought of smelling the wine. His eyes were bright and he looked full of energy.
Looking at the two people's eyes, as if knowing the doubts in their hearts, Shen Yueyao explained: "I have a secret recipe for brewing wine. You don't have to worry about this."
When she has grapes in the future, she can also make wine.
It can also be used to make fruit wine and rice wine.
In fact, Shen Yueyao thought that if she brewed good wine at home, she could keep some for herself to drink.
When friends and family come over, they can have a drink.
The truth is that the good wines sold on the market are very expensive, and the low-quality wines are not much cheaper. Moreover, if the taste is average, she doesn't want to buy it at all.
If there were a winery, it would be much more convenient for people nearby to buy wine.
However, it would be better if she could recruit some people who know how to make wine, which would save her a lot of trouble.
It's in the planning stage now.
It will take at least half a month to actually open the winery.
Hearing Shen Yueyao say that she could make wine, Fan Jiang and Geng were excited.
They felt fortunate that their mother met the master when she set up the stall, and they could work under the master.
Listening to their master say this, they imagined brewing the wine and felt a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.
Fan Jiang rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Master, we will follow your arrangements."
"To be honest, Master, I used to help buy wine for the mansion, and I know the quality of wine. I can tell the quality of a wine just by smelling it."
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "I heard from my mother that you are very capable and have learned a lot from Uncle Fan. You were originally trained to be a steward in the Marquis' Mansion, but something happened in the Marquis' Mansion that buried your talent."
Fan Jiang shook his head and said, "Master, you are really embarrassing us by saying that. All our abilities and skills were given to us by the Master of the Marquisate. When something happened at the Marquisate, the Master was so kind as to let us leave. The Master has been so kind to us, how can you say that we are burying our talents?"
Shen Yueyao looked at Fan Jiang's expression and demeanor and felt that he was a man of iron will.
Geng looked thin, but she was a woman who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, with a tough and strong look in her eyes.
When she went to Aunt Qiu’s house before, just one look at her made Shen Yueyao feel relieved.
That's why we suggested that they come to help manage the workshop.
