Before that, I didn’t know that He Chuan actually knew Jiang Dashi.
"Well, Aunt Liang, we really have to leave. The bus back to the village is still waiting at the town entrance. We'll talk again when we have a chance."
Before they met, Aunt Liang handed Su Tao 30 yuan, deducting 6 yuan for the labor cost of making the cotton-padded clothes. Aunt Liang originally didn't intend to charge, but Su Tao insisted, saying, "Brother, we must be clear about the bill. If you don't pay, Su Tao will not dare to make clothes here next time." Aunt Liang had no choice but to accept the 6 yuan labor cost.
When Su Tao and He Chuan returned, there were only a few people in the car, but Su Tao's things took up most of the car. Uncle Wang didn't plan to wait any longer and drove back directly. Su Tao felt bad and paid Uncle Wang an extra 5 yuan for the fare. After Uncle Wang refused many times, he finally accepted it.
After returning home and finishing their meal, He Chuan was washing dishes while Su Tao was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool autumn breeze. When he looked up at the sky, he realized that the vines on the racks in the yard were already full of grapes. He had forgotten about it because he hadn't had time for a few days.
Su Tao quickly took a pair of scissors, moved a stool, and stepped on it to cut the grapes.
When He Chuan came out after washing the dishes, he saw Su Tao sitting on a stone bench, peeling purple grapes carefully with his delicate hands. He looked focused and indescribably elegant.
"Come on, let's eat grapes together." Su Tao saw He Chuan coming and quickly called him. After eating, He Yanzhi went off to play somewhere else.
He Chuan sat next to Su Tao. Su Tao fed He Chuan the grapes he had just peeled. He Chuan opened his mouth and took the grapes and Su Tao's fingers together. The warm and slippery touch made Su Tao withdraw his fingers immediately as if he had been electrocuted. He glanced at the man coquettishly and said, "I told you to eat grapes, why are you eating my hand?"
He Chuan chuckled twice and didn't respond.
Su Tao glared at him. This man was getting better and better at playing dumb.
After eating half a plate of grapes, Su Tao felt full. He rested his chin on his hands, looking at the ripe grapes above him with a worried look on his face. If he didn't pick the ripe grapes, they would go bad. But if he picked them and sold them, he would have to wait until next week at the earliest. He wondered if the grapes would last until then.
After some thought, Su Tao decided it was safer to pick them now. If they really couldn't, he could just use them to make wine. Yes, he could make wine. It could be stored for a long time and even used in cooking.
After making up his mind, Su Tao asked He Chuan to help him cut all the grapes on the shelf and pack them.
Su Tao first soaks the grapes in salt water for 2 hours, then washes them with clean water, dries them, crushes them, and places them in a sealed container for fermentation.
Wait until the next day at the same time and add the sugar for the first time and stir.
After waiting for 4 days, Su Tao took sugar again.
After a week of fermentation, Su Tao used gauze to filter out the grape liquid from the jar mouth, and then squeezed out the liquid from the remaining flesh. Then he added egg white and stirred it. After a few days, the liquid became clear again and it was ready to drink.
After waiting for a few more days, it was finally ready to drink. Su Tao poured some out and took a sip. It had a rich aroma, a slight bitterness at first, and then some sour and sweet. The taste was quite refreshing. The conditions for brewing wine at home were limited, so it was already good enough to be able to brew like this.
Su Tao took a look and found that all the grapes in the field could produce 5 large jars of wine. Su Tao planned to give 3 jars to the village chief, the branch secretary and the team leader respectively. After all, they had helped him a lot since he came here, and he would have to trouble them a lot in the future.
