After the operation started, Fourth Uncle Tang taught people step by step. Those who were really incompetent were dismissed, and the smart ones were promoted to foremen... The winery was finally running normally, and Fourth Uncle Tang was able to free up his hands to taste the wine she brewed and buy fruits and medicinal herbs.
This time the seal lasted longer, a full month, and many people came to taste the wine, not only Xu Wenqu was invited, but also Gusu Sheng.
Gusu Sheng has been pestering Qi Jing recently, flattering him in various ways. It can be said that he is very shameless just for a sip of wine. She can't stand it, but Qi Xiaolang can just pretend he doesn't exist.
This time we invited him over, and when we asked him why he came, it looked like he was about to kneel down and call us dad.
But it is still a bit troublesome when there are outsiders around, and the wine has to be filtered out in advance to avoid exposing the recipe.
This time she brewed three kinds of wine: peach, apricot and loquat. If Fourth Uncle Tang was considered a connoisseur, then Gusu Sheng was an expert. He could taste even the slightest difference.
After trying them one by one, I found that the peach wine was very mellow, and the loquat wine was sweeter and softer. The apricot variety here is not very good, so the apricot wine is relatively sour and the taste is not very good, so I finally decided to only brew the first two.
Peach wine mainly nourishes the blood and stomach, beautifies the skin, and is suitable for women to drink. It is called Fu Shou Yang Yan Wine.
Loquat wine mainly clears the lungs, relieves breath, relieves cough and relieves fever. Everyone can drink it, and it is called Fushou Qingfei Wine.
After tasting, Tang Shiyue smiled and said to Gusu Sheng: "When the wine is brewed, your work should be finished. I will give you two jars of wine. You can drink it on the road. I won't charge you any money... But there is one thing. Wherever you go, you must tell the locals about it. Is that okay?"
...
...
"Okay, okay!" Gusu Sheng's eyes were filled with laughter, and he agreed without a word: "Master Tang, don't worry, we'll run around every day, and I'll talk to you wherever I go!"
He licked his face and picked up the remaining wine in the jar: "Then I'll leave first."
Tang Shiyue agreed with a smile. Gusu Sheng turned around and left with a jar in each hand. It was incredible that a man in his forties could run so fast.
After he left, Xu Wenqu also tactfully said goodbye. Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen, who had been clinging to him like conjoined twins for the past two days, followed him and left.
They then began to discuss how much to brew.
After discussion, they estimated that with the wheat this time, they would first brew 2,000 kilograms of peach wine and 5,000 kilograms of loquat wine.
By this calculation, you need to buy about 500 to 600 kilograms of peaches and about 1,500 to 1,600 kilograms of loquats.
The places for growing peaches and loquats had been surveyed in advance by Fourth Uncle Tang and Qi Jing. Tang Shiyue and Madam Zhou also tasted a lot of them and picked the one with the best taste, so now all they had to do was ask someone to buy them.
Although they have a closer relationship with the clan leader's family, the clan leader's three sons are relatively honest and loyal and are not suitable for running away.
So in the end, Uncle Tang San led one group, and Uncle Tang Si led another group, Chen Changsheng, the second son of the head of the village. They notified them along the way and asked them to deliver the wine jars directly, which saved labor.
The winery was busy as always, and Qi Xiaolang's house was gradually taking shape.
Ever since the winery opened, Tang Shiyue has transferred the purchasing work to Tang Yi. Anyway, most of the things have already been ordered and sent here, so there are not many things that need to be purchased.
And ever since Gusu Sheng got the wine from her, he immediately turned all his enthusiasm towards Qi Jing towards her, coming to her from time to time to show his courtesy, and his courtesy was particularly attentive to the point.
"Master Tang, we are going to go fetch some trees tomorrow. What kind of trees do you want? We will fetch some together. They are all over three years old and can bear fruit that year. I will plant two trees for you."
"Master Tang, do you want to plant some flowers or vines on your wall? I'll get some seeds and plant some for you when the time comes."
"Master Tang, now that the pond is cleaned, we are going to buy some koi. I see you have a fish pond too, would you like me to give you a few fish...or would you like me to help you plant some lotus flowers?"
"Master Tang..."
Fortunately, Qi Xiaolang's money was her money, otherwise Qi Xiaolang would have to fight with her just because of his gift-giving method!
Anyway, within a few days, there were a peach tree, an apple tree, a pear tree, a jujube tree, and a chestnut tree behind her house. She had no interest in the noble plum blossoms and the like, and only picked the fruits she liked to eat.
Fortunately, the area is large and the piece of land on the mountain is free, so we can enclose whatever we want. Otherwise, there would be no place to plant so many trees.
And the Cheng family really has some tricks up their sleeves. At least she had never heard of it before. They could move trees and the fruits together. It was the peach season, and the peach tree she moved was actually still full of fruits, but they were still a little green and could be eaten in a few days!
This is magical enough.
Moreover, he also fenced in the small vegetable garden that she had always wanted to cultivate but had never gotten around to, put up a fence, loosened the soil, and sowed vegetable seeds...
Then she remembered that she needed a bathroom where she could take a shower.
Just build a small house, put a big wooden basin on top, and extend a simple shower head down. When it is hot, you can use the sun to add cold water, and when it is cold, you can add hot water. Then build a staircase next to it to carry water up... Then you can tell Qi Xiaolang that this is a kind of exercise.
If Qi Xiaolang was not around or refused to carry the bucket, he would just set up something like a waterwheel nearby and push the bucket up.
In fact, she wanted to get a water pipe, but at this moment, she couldn't figure out how to make a hose, so she had to settle for the next best thing.
She even explained it to Gususheng by gestures and drawings. Gususheng brought a few people and built the house and the water truck in just one day!
This hands-on ability is really amazing! If he didn't have his own business, she would have wanted to keep him here with a high salary!
Tang Shiyue was so happy that she used fruit juice to mix him a cocktail-like drink. Gususheng had never thought of drinking it this way before, and was instantly struck by her beauty. He asked her if she would accept a disciple, and after she said no... Gususheng asked her again, "Will you accept a son?"
Everyone: “…”
Tang Shiyue always thought that what Jia Yun said in Dream of the Red Chamber, "Grandfather in the stroller, grandson with crutches" was an isolated case, but she didn't expect that there would actually be people who want to do this!
Qi Jing couldn't stand it anymore and drove the man out.
It was almost time, so Tang Shiyue took out the preserved eggs, mixed them with ginger and vinegar, and gave them to everyone to try.
Preserved eggs are just like durian. You'll want to vomit after the first bite, but you can't stop after the second bite. After trying them, half of the people said they were delicious, while half said they were not. But they all agreed that the preserved eggs looked pretty.
But in Tang Shiyue's opinion, it was quite successful.
Tang Shiyue made more than sixty of them in total, and took out half of them, along with some dried vegetables and mushrooms from the mountains, and prepared to visit the relatives at the home of County Magistrate Lin.
Before leaving, she was going to ask Xiao Ayang to write about the recipe of preserved eggs, but the little guy actually took Xiao Yaoer to see the new house, so Tang Shiyue went next door.
At this moment, the three of them no longer went to the construction site to help, they only often went there to eat with them, so they were all at home now.
Xu Wenqu This is a typical place for scholars to live. There are bamboos planted in the back, which is very quiet. The study is very large and there are a lot of books in it. Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen were writing something. When they saw her come in, they didn't even look up.
Xu Wenqu, who was sitting on the side, put down his book with a smile and asked half-jokingly, "Master Tang, what can I do for you?"
"You're the only one who's free?" Tang Shiyue said without hesitation: "Then can you help me write something?"
