Chapter 37 Miss Jiu, I really like you so much
Eight months, no news of my son.
Anyone would be driven crazy.
Jiusu held her hand, gently stroked her back, and comforted her: "Mom, dreams are always the opposite. You dreamed that Chen Zhao was dead, which means he is still alive and asked you to save him. Is it possible that he is coming back soon and is telling you this in your dream?"
Seeing this, Chang Bo said.
"Miss, you're right. I had a neighbor whose son went out to do business. He dreamed that he fell into the sea. He was so worried, but who knew that he would come back the next day. Not only did he become a rich man, he also brought back a beautiful woman."
Several people spoke one by one and completely convinced Lu.
Lu murmured, "Dreams are always the opposite... Is my Zhao'er coming back?"
"Yes." Jiusu remembered Chen Zhao's integrity. She also hoped that Chen Zhao would come back to make her mother-in-law happy. "He will definitely come back."
Mrs. Lu sat down and placed her hands on the stone table. The cool feeling made her calm down a lot.
She took a deep breath, "Su'er, I'm sorry to have worried you. I didn't wake up for a while. That dream was too real. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go back to sleep."
——
The news of the mysterious girl who had solved three problems correctly spread throughout the town overnight.
After these days of cold treatment, the onlookers no longer gathered around the shop.
Jiusu entered the backyard wearing a veil. She didn't want to be seen by some 'dog-skin plaster' and tried to scam her. She locked the wooden door and went into the yard. She put on gloves and a mask and said, "There are similarities between wine and juice. Our main product is wine. You can learn here for the next few days. I will teach you one by one."
They learn very enthusiastically.
The grapes in the yard grew very fast, so five baskets were brought in.
Jiusu said, "Ten kilograms of grapes can make about seven kilograms of wine. Wash the grapes first, then let them dry naturally. Put them into the bottle and crush them. Remember to separate the skin and flesh. Don't fill it too full. The sugar-free degree is 8 degrees, and the sugar-added degree is 12 degrees. Make the sugar-free one first, and then put it in that room. To speed up the fermentation process, I will add a special formula to it, so that the fermentation time will be faster."
Then she took out the fermented wine from the bamboo basket.
"The filtering step is very important. Take out the skin and seeds. You can use a curved pipe for water suction."
When Jiusu was shopping, she discovered the "Kewu", which is a curved tube that can absorb water and use the siphon phenomenon to separate and filter.
"I'll fill the glass bottles with these wines and then add some ingredients. In two or three days, they'll be ready. Then I'll separate them and put them into bottles, and it's done."
Ma Hu breathed a sigh of relief and felt something entering his brain.
He scratched his head and said, "Miss, this is too difficult. I'd better go wash the grapes."
Jiusu smiled faintly: "You can pick rotten grapes to try the process. When the time comes, divide the work. One person will wash the grapes, two people will crush the grapes, the first filtration will be in the west room, and the final step will be in the east room."
After saying that, he took out two pieces of paper and pasted them on the roof.
Zi Tan bowed and said, "When my servant Kou Shao and I are free, we will come and help."
"We are short of manpower now, so thank you all for your hard work." Jiusu clasped her fists and became more certain about the idea of hiring help. However, she didn't know many people, and the Jiang family was a good fit. She had also talked it over with Jiang Jing, so there was nothing awkward about it.
One afternoon, with the efforts of everyone.
They actually produced five kilograms of wine, which far exceeded Jiusu's plan.
Ma Hu and others moved the wine into the basket in the house and covered it with a layer of cloth as instructed by the young lady. In fact, this was Jiusu's trick. She put the wine into the system warehouse for fermentation. There were not enough people in the early stage and the need was urgent.
This is the only method.
When the wine is produced in large quantities in the future, it will be able to ferment normally.
Kou Shao sat on the steps with her legs crossed and said happily, "Miss, following you is so fulfilling!"
Jiusu chuckled and handed Ma Hu an ounce of silver.
"The five of you will live in the shop. You'll work at Chenshi, get off at Youshi, and get off at Maoshi. You'll take an hour's break at noon. Is this enough for a month's food?"
"This is more than enough. It won't take half a year." Ma Hu said as if he was dreaming. "Also, isn't this working time too short? I want to do more work. Just add one more hour."
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiusu's eyes.
She smiled and said, "Others are rushing to rest, but you are rushing to work. You arrange your own time, so you must ensure quality and quantity."
The five servants nodded. They had never seen such beautiful wine before. They didn't feel tired after being busy for the whole afternoon. They even felt itchy and wanted to work again.
After leaving the shop, Jiusu changed his clothes in the carriage.
Shopkeeper Fang received the news and booked a private room early to wait. This time, Shopkeeper Fang brought his wife with him. They raised their glasses and expressed their gratitude solemnly. Mrs. Fang liked Jiusu from the bottom of her heart when she saw him. After the meal, she was so full of praise that she could fill a cart with words.
"Miss Jiu, I really like you. Come to my house more often. You don't need to pay for your meals at Fangxinglou in the future."
She held Jiusu's hand. She was in a good mood today and had drunk some wine, so she seemed particularly excited.
Jiusu also likes this hospitable proprietress.
"Thank you very much, ma'am. I'll come here every day to eat."
“…”
Finally, Jiusu took out a small bottle of wine, poured it into a crystal clear wine glass, pushed it in front of the two people, and said, "This is a newly developed wine, not yet sold. Please have a taste, boss and madam."
Grapes? This is a rare fruit tree.
The two of them picked up the wine cups and tasted it carefully.
Mrs. Fang was so pleased that she danced with joy.
"How much silver do you want? I'll buy it!"
"This is for you." Jiusu placed the bottle on the table. "I didn't bring much today, so please don't mind, Madam. Have a cup before bed to beautify your skin."
Shopkeeper Fang's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and said expectantly.
"Miss Jiu, the restaurant can actually promote its wine. Let's see if we can cooperate. Don't worry, we will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"Of course." Jiusu prioritized people with whom she had a pleasant cooperation, and Shopkeeper Fang was a good candidate. She was willing to share a piece of the profits with those who helped her. "But, the large quantities of goods have already been ordered by the wine merchants in Gan County. If there is any surplus, I can give it to you."
Shopkeeper Fang clapped his hands, "That's great."
Jiusu hesitated for a few seconds.
"But it's very expensive, three taels per liter."
"Miss Jiu, just give it to me. People who love wine don't care about the price of the wine, they only care about the purity of the wine. Our Su Ming County is poor, but most of the people are rich." Shopkeeper Fang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this wine was indeed worth this silver. The famous wine in Shengjing is worth more than three taels, but dozens of taels.
This wine is not for sale, but it feels fresh even if it is kept in the store.
There was a noise outside, and two figures were seen arguing in the corridor. The waiter tried his best to stop them, and he said with embarrassment.
"Shopkeeper Qi, the restaurant is closed. If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow."
Shopkeeper Qi stopped, glared at him fiercely, and said unhappily, "It's not like I don't have a restaurant! Who wants to eat here? I'm here to see Miss Jiu. Get out of my way now! Don't delay me!"
