"Thank you for your hard work! Let's eat first. After eating and taking a break, we can continue with other work."
Shen Ningsi had just gone into the house, fed An An and Kang Kang, and sewed a few pairs of gloves, the kind that can separate the five fingers.
She also distilled several jars of liquor stored in the cellar to make a stronger liquor.
This will have a good sterilization effect.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
In the front yard, the soldiers' voices were like a loud bell!
After dinner, everyone was still resting.
Shen Ningsi went to the backyard, which was already packed with many people.
And they also set up more than twenty pots.
Gu Hong saw Shen Ningsi walk in and proudly pulled her aside.
In the corner, there are jars and jars of already formed white sugar.
"How's it going? It's easy for this general to make this sugar himself!"
After saying that, he looked at Ana Shen with a smug look on his face.
Shen Ningsi glanced at the sugar on the ground and then raised his head to look at Gu Hong, whose face had already turned into a clown.
I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Well, General, you've worked so hard. However, this sugar is far from enough. Keep up the good work!"
Shen Ningsi was in a very good mood at this moment.
Gu Hong felt motivated when she called him "General" in a soft and sweet voice.
"But, General, I'd like to trouble you to have someone carry this sugar out. I'm going to need it soon!"
"Zhang Liu, Fang Datou, come here and carry this sugar to the front. Don't make any mistakes!"
Gu Hong looked at the two people he named with a serious face, as if he was asking them to sign a military order.
After a while, the prepared white sugar was carried out by the two of them.
The gloves that were placed outside to dry had already dried, so Shen Ningsi took them off.
"Wash your hands clean and disinfect them with white wine!"
Although they didn’t understand what Shen Ningsi meant by disinfection, the soldiers washed their hands and cleaned them with white wine.
It can be seen that their discipline is still very strict.
"Damn it, such good wine is actually used to wash hands!" Ermao couldn't help muttering after washing his hands.
If it weren't for these brothers watching, he really wanted to put his hand in his mouth and suck it twice! He had never drunk such a strong liquor before! Just smelling it made him lose control!
Seeing that they had all washed their hands, Shen Ningsi distributed the gloves.
"Everyone has worked hard today. Put 50 kilograms of grapes and 15 kilograms of sugar in each wine jar! Top each layer of grapes with a layer of sugar, and crush the grapes..."
As soon as Shen Ningsi finished speaking, those soldiers exploded!
"Madam, these grapes are fine, why do you want to crush them? Won't they go bad if you crush them?"
"That's right, ma'am. I spent a lot of effort washing these grapes. Why are you crushing them now?"
Sanyazi was also anxious!
"Only by crushing these grapes can they be fermented better." As for the white frost and white sugar on the grapes, Shen Ningsi did not explain.
Shen Ningsi could also understand these people's thoughts, so he explained without any impatience.
"Stop talking nonsense here, just do whatever the Madam tells you to do!"
As soon as Gu Hong walked out, he heard what the soldiers said. The expression on his face instantly turned cold and he glanced at them with cold eyes.
Feeling the chill on the general's face, these people didn't dare to continue speaking and did as Shen Ningsi said.
"Every one of you, remember this wine-making method. You must all know it by heart! If I find out that someone else knows how to make wine, you will all be punished by military court!"
“Here!”
As soon as Gu Hong finished speaking, the soldiers responded in unison.
He chose them here because, on the one hand, they were dexterous, and on the other hand, they were all Gu Hong's confidants.
They would rather die on the battlefield than betray Gu Hong!
Shen Ningsi glanced at Gu Hong in surprise. She didn't expect this man to be so thoughtful!
"Mom, why do you have to crush the grapes?"
Gu Yuner pulled at the hem of Shen Ningsi’s clothes.
"Because the grapes ferment only when they are crushed, the frost and sugar on the grapes are also crucial! Of course, if the grapes taste good, the wine produced will also be better."
Shen Ning thought about his own era. A certain brand of wine had a demanding growing environment, not only with regard to the climate, but also with regard to the humidity in the air.
However, wines of this era were few and far between, and those that were available on the market were snapped up by the rich and powerful.
"Mom, you're so smart. Yun'er can't figure out how to make wine!"
Gu Yuner nodded her head, not quite understanding what was said.
She has regarded Shen Ningsi as her direction of progress and the guiding light of her life, and her admiration for her in her eyes is not concealed at all.
"Yun'er is still young. When she grows up, she will definitely be smarter than her mother!" Shen Ningsi touched her little head, her eyes full of doting.
"whee……"
Being praised by Shen Ningsi, Gu Yuner raised her face proudly.
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu were not idle at all. They were wearing gloves and pinching grapes with the soldiers.
Extra careful.
It can be seen that they took Shen Ningsi's matter to heart.
"Chen Ningsi, how are you? These soldiers under my command are well-trained, right?"
Gu Hong asked proudly, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, an expectation that was affirmed by Shen Ningsi.
"Well, it's okay, but General, you seem to have forgotten your mission." Shen Ningsi glanced in the direction of the backyard.
Gu Hong snorted coldly, "This general knows that I don't need you to remind me!"
After saying that, he walked back quickly. He had to not only do what he promised Shen Ningsi, but also do it beautifully!
Although Shen Ningsi didn't want to admit it, these people's ability to obey was really beyond reproach!
Many hands make light work!
By the afternoon, the soldiers had put all the grapes into the wine vats, and the beets in the backyard had been made into sugar, with some left over.
Shen Ningsi was not idle either. In the afternoon, he made two pots of mung bean soup and some boiled water for them.
I also went to a familiar family in the village and ordered one or two suckling pigs.
"I'd rather train in the military camp than pinch these grapes anymore!"
After finishing the work, Ermao sat down on the ground with a plop. At this moment, he no longer wanted to lick his fingers.
Sanyazi and Zhao Xianxing also felt that their hands were no longer their own.
However, looking at the full tanks in the yard, they still feel a sense of accomplishment!
“Thank you all for your hard work!”
Shen Ningsi looked at the wine jars neatly arranged under the oilcloth in the yard and felt very satisfied.
This can be considered her first pot of gold in the true sense.
The biggest taboo in wine making is to turn over the vat!
