Chapter 698



She told him everything, including the precautions.

In fact, these tasks are easy for Fang Miaojuan.

She was used to doing rough labor, so doing these kinds of work was actually very easy for her.

"After crushing it, we need to add the yeast. As for how to make the yeast, I will give you a recipe later. Just follow it."

"Remember, there is a ratio for adding yeast. Don't add too much, and don't add too little. For the current amount, you only need to add this much. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Fang Miaojuan nodded repeatedly.

"Then it's canned and left to ferment..."

Then Xiaoqing explained every precaution to Fang Miaojuan one by one.

Even after she finished explaining it, Fang Miaojuan still didn't understand what these grapes were for.

Why does it need to be mashed like this and fermented?

In her opinion, wouldn't it go bad after fermentation?

However, Xiao Qing did not tell her the reason. Adhering to the principle of doing more and asking less, she still did not ask.

Besides, won't it be clear the day when the truth is finally revealed?

She knew Jian Xiu, she would not do anything useless.

She just needs to remember the steps that Xiao Qing said, not missing any one, and not taking any one lightly.

During this period, the grapes that Xiaoqing ordered the four people to harvest had already been harvested.

께 Qing did not do it himself, but said to Fang Miaojuan:

"Go check the grapes that the four of them harvested and see if there's anything wrong with them."

"Okay."

Afterwards, Fang Miaojuan really started to check it carefully.

Then he pointed to one of the backpacks and said:

"There's nothing wrong with all three baskets, but this one seems a little too ripe, and a little too sweet. If the grapes are too sweet, then the acidity won't be enough."

Fang Miaojuan, who has been growing grapes for several years, knows this very well.

After hearing what Fang Miaojuan said, Xiao Qing immediately stepped forward to pinch the basket of grapes, and then put them into his mouth.

Sure enough, it was overripe just as Fang Miaojuan said.

However, Xiao Qing did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Fang Miaojuan and asked:

"How would you handle a situation like this?"

"These grapes are three copper coins a bunch, so we'll give you thirty-one copper coins for every ten bunches. But now they're obviously too ripe, and the farmers must know that, so they have no choice but to pick them. We'll buy them at the price of medium-quality grapes. If you want to see them, we'll give you twenty-five copper coins for ten bunches. How do you think?"

In fact, Fang Miaojuan guessed correctly, the grapes were indeed ripe.

The villagers themselves know this, but there is nothing they can do about it.

The grapes have already ripened and are hanging on the tree, waiting for Jian Xiu and the others to pick them.

They were too lazy to pick them and waste time selling them in the county town, so they decided to just sell them at a lower price and bring them here to show off their humble family background.

Deducting a few copper coins every ten days is reasonable.

After hearing what Fang Miaojuan said, Xiao Qing nodded with satisfaction.

"Just do as you say!"

Although Jian Xiu, who was not far away, was watching everything in the workshop, his eyes were always on Fang Miaojuan and 付 Qing.

It must be said that Fang Miaojuan's performance just now made her very satisfied.

"Then do you want to arrange for them to harvest the grapes?" Fang Miaojuan asked uncertainly.

"Go ahead and collect them according to this specification. If the grapes are too big, you will have to pay a little more."

The grapes are too big because the villagers did not take good care of them when planting them and were lazy.

If the same price is charged, it would be unfair to those villagers who grow better crops.

"I understand, I understand. This place is used to grow grapes," Fang Miaojuan said repeatedly.

Then Jian Xiu went to the other side of the papermaking workshop.

Most of the people there are men, and Wang Dashi is in charge.

I have to say that these two brothers are still very reliable.

Seeing Jian Xiu coming, Wang Dashi hurried towards her.

It looks like if Jian Xiu doesn't go to find him, he will come to find Jian Xiu.

Obviously, there are difficulties.

"What's wrong? Are you in any trouble?" Jian Xiu asked first.

"Indeed, didn't you send me a recipe before? I don't know if the bamboo wasn't soaked long enough or what, but it always seems difficult to crush."

Wang Dashi said bluntly.

Compared with making red wine, papermaking is much more difficult.

So ever since Jian Xiu planned to make rice paper for the humble and elegant family in Zhangjia Village, he asked Wang Dashi to go to the capital in person.

껩Let him witness with his own eyes the entire process of papermaking in the humble papermaking community in the capital.

Only in this way can he know where this rice paper came from.

After studying there for almost two months, Wang Dashi returned to Quanyong County again.

As for the bamboo, they had already soaked it two months in advance.

Of course, soaking bamboo is not that difficult.

Hearing what Wang Dashi said, Jian Xiu immediately walked over there.

After checking it out, Jian Xiu took out a handful of half-broken bamboo and observed it carefully...

"What? Do you think this is the problem?" Wang Dashi asked quickly.

At first, Wang Dashi felt very uncomfortable when facing Jian Xiu.

It was during the time in the capital that I spent more time with Jian Xiu and slowly came to understand her character.

In addition, with his sister Wang Xiuying by his side, Wang Dashi spoke normally in front of Jian Xiu.

"How long did you soak for?"

"Just as you said, it took about three months."

"In this case, it's not that the soaking time was insufficient. It's that you didn't add enough gray water. What proportion did you add it according to?" Jian Xiu asked again.

"It is based on the proportions in the capital, exactly the same proportions."

Hearing this, Jian Xiu fell into deep thought.

Apparently, these bamboos are indeed difficult to crush as Wang Dashi said.

But with the same soaking time and the same ash water, it would be much easier to crush it in the capital.

Why is it different here?

"Are you following every step according to the instructions in Beijing?" Jian Xiu asked again.

"Everything was done according to that procedure, without missing any one step." Wang Dashi said with certainty.

"Where are the bamboos? Take them over there to have a look."

"Over there, come with me!" After saying that, Wang Dashi took the lead and walked to the other side of the workshop.

This handsome and poor family is very large and basically occupies more than half of the village committee.

This piece of land was bought by Jian Xiu.

The bamboo is placed outside.

Looking at the bamboos outside, Jian Xiu squatted down and picked up one.

Then I gently broke it with my hands and felt it carefully...

"The toughness of these bamboos seems to be stronger than those in the capital." Jian Xiu said to himself with his head down.
