After getting Lin's mother's consent, Lin Mo moved the pottery jar out, poured out the little bit of pickled plums left in it, washed the pottery jar several times and then soaked it in water.
Lin Mo put the grapes he picked yesterday into a basin and washed them with water, then took them out and put them into a bamboo round dustpan to drain the water on the surface.
"Fourth brother, what are you going to do? Pickle grapes?" Lin Xing asked while eating pickled plums from a bowl.
Lin Chen helped his nephew and niece to each take a grape to eat. He was also a little confused. Pickled grapes? There was so much juice in the grapes. After pickling, there seemed to be not much flesh left. Could they still be eaten?
"Wine making."
After finishing all the preparations and waiting for the grapes to drain, Lin Mo looked down at his niece who was earnestly licking the grape juice that flowed onto her palms, and took out a few half-ripe peaches from the basket.
"Is there any sugar at home?" Lin Mo asked.
The current conditions are too bad. Lin Mo is now in a state of "having martial arts but unable to display them" and can only do simple things.
"Yes, I'll get it." Lin Xing licked the juice on his fingers and walked into the kitchen.
"Achen, go wash the pot and boil some water."
"Oh." Lin Chen scratched his head. He wanted to ask but didn't know what to ask, so he gave up.
Lin Mo used salt water to wash off the hair on the surface of the peach, then cut it into small pieces and placed it on a plate.
"Fourth Uncle, I want to eat." Lin Xiaoya grabbed Lin Mo's pants with both hands, stood on tiptoe and looked up to see the fruit on the table.
Although Lin Xiaonan, who was standing next to his sister, didn't say anything, he looked up at Lin Mo expectantly, his big eyes blinking.
"Just sit on the stool and wait. I'll go make you something delicious." Lin Mo stuffed a small piece of peach into each of their mouths and reminded them.
"Oh~" Lin Xiaoya had a piece of peach stuffed in her mouth, her mouth was bulging, and she could only nod and respond in a vague voice.
Lin Mo saw the two of them sitting obediently on the stools, picked up the basin and walked into the kitchen. Lin Xiaoya chewed the fruit with her mouth bulging, and after eating, she smacked her lips to savor the sweetness of the peach.
"Brother, I want to eat more." Lin Xiaoya sat on a low stool, her two little hands on her knees, and tilted her head to look at her brother.
"No, we have to wait here for Fourth Uncle." Lin Xiaonan, who was sitting next to him, thought about it, shook his little head and said.
"...Okay." Lin Xiaoya pursed her lips, rested her chin on the back of her hands on her knees, and stared at the kitchen.
Lin Mo waited for the water to boil before putting peach pieces and sugar in, stirring until the peaches became soft, then turned off the heat and served. Lin Mo walked out of the kitchen carrying the peach syrup. Lin Chen cleaned the pot, washed a few bowls and a wooden spoon, and quickly walked out of the kitchen.
"Serve it to them after it cools down." Lin Mo put it aside to dry.
The grapes spread on the round winnowing basket had been drained of water. Lin Mo cut them one by one and put them in the ceramic, two layers of grapes and a layer of sugar. After leaving a little space, he put water in the groove of the ceramic mouth and then covered it with a lid.
Lin Mo moved the ceramics to a cool place in the kitchen, walked to the table and sat down to eat the remaining grapes. The peach syrup that had just been cooked had also cooled down, and the four children were eating it around the table.
"Fourth Uncle, it's delicious." Lin Xiaonan looked up at Lin Mo who was sitting beside him eating grapes, and said in a baby voice.
Lin Mo reached out and touched his little head without saying anything. He had dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into it and boiled it, so how could it not taste good?
"Fourth Uncle, can Xiaoya and brother still eat tomorrow?" Lin Xiaoya asked, holding the bowl with one hand and the spoon with the other, licking the sugar water on her lips.
"Can."
The twin brothers who were eating with their heads down heard this, looked up at their fourth brother with joy, then stared at each other for a few seconds and continued eating.
"After we finish eating, let's go to the river to catch fish. After lunch in the afternoon, we will go to the orchard to continue picking fruit." Lin Mo said.
"Do you still want to pick these grapes?" Lin Xing asked.
“Not just grapes…” Lin Mo shook his head.
The fruits in the orchard are almost ripe. If they are not picked now, they will fall off in a few days. Lin Mo thinks that in addition to making wine, the other fruits can also be made into other fruit products.
"Forget it, let's ask my parents to go with us tomorrow."
In addition to fruits, you also need to prepare containers for storage. Large ones are used for brewing, and containers with good looks are needed for selling. I just don’t know if there are transparent bottle containers here.
These things have to be prepared in advance. Lin Mo thought that he should find a chance to tell his parents about it during lunch.
“Save some room for lunch.” Lin Mo reminded his two stupid brothers when he saw that they wanted to have a third bowl of food.
There is still an hour before lunch time, and it would be a bit of a loss to drink too much. Lin Xing smacked his lips and put down the spoon.
After washing the dishes, Lin Xing and Lin Chen took the bamboo basket and fishing tools. Lin Mo brought the remaining peach syrup into Brother Lin's room, and the two children followed him in unsteadily.
"Xing, Chen and I are going to the river to catch fish. We'll make lunch when we come back." Lin Mo said as he put the big bowl on the table.
"Okay, what is this?" Mrs. Lin, who had just applied medicine to Lin Cheng, stood up and nodded in response, looking at the thing in his hand with some confusion.
"They've already had the peach syrup."
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Lin Mo left. Before leaving, he glanced at his elder brother who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and his heart stagnated.
Now is the season when there are the most fish and shrimp in the river. There are several small rivers in the village. Children often go to the rivers to catch shrimps and fish and take them home. Some villagers who have not been able to eat meat all year round sometimes come here.
Lin Mo followed his two younger brothers to the small river near their home. It was still a long time before lunch and the others might still be doing farm work in the fields, so the three of them did not meet anyone on the way.
Arriving at the creek, Lin Xing and Lin Chen took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs, and carefully placed the catching tools downstream of the flowing river.
"Fourth brother, just watch from the side and don't come down." Lin Xing warned with some concern.
Lin Mo had been sick for half a month because his clothes got wet while fishing in the river. Lin Xing and the others didn't dare to let him try it again. Although Fourth Brother seemed to be in better health recently, they still had to be prepared for the worst.
“Got it.” Lin Mo waved his hand.
There was no obvious dividing line between the stream and the ground. The water in the shallow area was very clear, and you could see the pebbles below. On both sides grew wild grass half the height of an adult, as well as some wild vegetables that Lin Mo recognized.
Lin Mo glanced at Lin Xing and Lin Chen who were bending over to catch fish, thought for a moment, took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs a little, walked to the river, picked up the wild vegetables he knew, picked a bunch and put them on the ground, then walked forward while picking.
Cheng Yan came back from the town with things in both hands. He passed by a stream and heard the sound of water. He turned his head and saw the two children from the Lin family and a young man by the river.
When Cheng Yan was about to look away, he saw the bent boy stand up straight. When he saw his face, Cheng Yan remembered that the boy was Lin Mo, the youngest brother of the Lin family.
Cheng Yan has lived in Daling Village for a year. He doesn't have much contact with the villagers. The one he is more familiar with is Lin Cheng, the eldest son of the Lin family, who goes up the mountain to hunt every once in a while.
Lin Mo, the youngest son of the Lin family, is also quite famous in the village. Because of his weak health, he never had to work since he was a child, which once made other boys in the village very envious. However, because of his weak health, he was prone to illness and had to take medicine continuously since he was a child, and his story was often brought up as a topic of conversation.
Cheng Yan and Lin Mo met for the first time yesterday. Yesterday, they accidentally encountered the father and son of the Lin family who were attacked by a wild boar in the mountains. Father Lin only had some scratches because of his son's protection, but Lin Cheng's situation was more dangerous.
Fortunately, Cheng Yan heard the noise and realized something was wrong and arrived in time to shoot the wild boar with a fatal arrow, otherwise Lin Cheng would have suffered more than two serious injuries.
After carrying Lin Cheng back to Lin's house, Cheng Yan stayed there until night. When he was about to go back, he saw Lin Mo walking into the house.
Cheng Yan had a deep first impression of Lin Mo because of his temperament and his eyes.
Because he made money by hunting, Cheng Yan often went to the town to sell game and buy food. He had seen all kinds of guys with different looks and personalities, but the only one who left a deep impression on Cheng Yan was Lin Mo.
Although Lin Mo's eyes were calm, Cheng Yan could see the puzzling look deep in his eyes at a glance. The moment Cheng Yan saw it, a voice seemed to ring in his heart: that kind of look could not appear on a farmer, let alone on a young man.
Cheng Yan only has memories from one year ago, and no other memories, but he knows that his previous identity must have been extraordinary because of his body's instincts and his martial arts, so Cheng Yan believes in his intuition.
Cheng Yan quickly took a look at the boy standing by the river. He was thin and his skin looked very white, which might be because he didn't get much sun exposure, but it was more of a paleness caused by lack of blood.
Cheng Yan thought that the rumors seemed to be true, and Lin Mo was indeed ill for many years. When his eyes touched the feet stepping on the stones by the river, Cheng Yan's ears became hot and an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, but it quickly disappeared.
Lin Mo stood up and put the wild vegetables aside. He seemed to see a familiar plant in his peripheral vision. He tilted his head to take a closer look and found that he was not mistaken.
Lin Mo's eyes lit up a little. This plant really grew in water. He didn't expect it to be here. The most valuable part of this plant was its tuber. If eaten by patients, it could quickly heal their wounds. It had certain medicinal properties. In the previous life, it was very expensive because of its scarcity.
In his previous life, Lin Mo went looking for it specifically because he wanted his father to get better quickly. Coincidentally, someone who wanted to cooperate with the Lin family had the stuff. After his father recovered quickly, Lin Mo thought it was somewhat magical and thought about understanding it.
Just as Lin Cheng needed it, Lin Mo endured the pain of his feet stepping on the cobblestones and walked over quickly. He didn't turn his head to look when he heard the approaching strange footsteps.
Lin Mo used his hands to push aside the tall weeds that were blocking his way, found a foothold and walked over. Everyone in the village, whether children or adults, knew that the big rock half submerged in water in the weeds should not be stepped on because it would be easy to slip.
However, as a fake countryman, Lin Mo naturally didn't know, so after Lin Mo exerted force, his feet slipped, and his body fell forward before he could react.
"ah…"
Lin Mo screamed in shock but immediately shut up. There was nothing around except weeds to support him, and his body was too weak. Even if Lin Mo reacted in time, his body's sensitivity would not be able to keep up.
It seemed that falling was inevitable, and Lin Mo quickly closed his eyes to prevent the weeds from pricking his eyes.
