After the couple returned home, Qi Xuan first took out the purple pear fruit from the space, washed one as a reward for her husband, and then went to see his grape babies.

"Brother Yi, do we have any large empty wine jars at home? I want to use them to make wine." Qi Xuan looked around but couldn't find a suitable container for making wine.

Fu Jingyi thought about it and shook his head, "It seems not. I'll go buy a few jars later. They are sold in the village." Then he walked outside.

Qi Xuan called out to the man who had walked quickly to the door, "Brother Yi, buy another piece of tofu and bring it back. We will fry it for lunch."

After getting the man's response, Qi Xuan cut the grapes, washed them, and put them in the yard to dry. He waited for his husband to buy a jar. He was not idle at this time. He washed the hawthorns he bought from the peddler last time, cut them horizontally in the middle of the fruit to remove the core, and found the bamboo sticks he had used to eat cold pot skewers before, and strung five hawthorns on a string. Then he skillfully boiled sugar in a large pot, and finally coated the hawthorn strings with a layer of boiled syrup, and the candied haws were ready.

"Brother Xiaoxuan, I'm here." Qi Yue always heard the voice before seeing the person. "It smells so sweet, what are you doing?"

Qi Xuan turned around and saw the little head at the kitchen door, "Why are you here?"

"My eldest brother and the others have also come back. On the way, I met my brother-in-law who said he was going to buy a jar, so they all came back together. I run faster, hehe." Qi Yue's eyes were fixed on the things on the stove.

After Qi Xuan took it out, he said in surprise, "Wow! Candied haws! I want to eat some, I want to eat some!" Qi Xuan handed him a string with a smile. Qi Yue took the candied haws and sat on the stool happily to eat them.

"Brother Xiaoxuan, yours tastes better than those sold outside. Those sold outside don't have the cores removed, and don't have so many crispy sugars." Qi Yue likes to eat the outer layer of sugar the most. It's not that he doesn't like to eat the hawthorn fruit inside, but the fruits sold outside are very sour, and some taste bitter. Every time he only eats the outer layer of sugar, his mother always says he is wasteful.

The ones made by his brother Xiaoxuan were different. Not only were they pitless, but the fruits were also fragrant and sweet. He finished the bunch very quickly. When he was about to eat the second bunch, Lin Chen and the others came back, "Brother, brother, what delicious food have you made again? I heard Xiaoyue shouting that it was delicious from a distance."

Qi Xuan also handed a string to Lin Chen and received the same praise as Qi Yue.

Seeing that Qi Yue wanted to eat the third skewer, Qi Xuan patted his hands and said, "Don't eat so much, be careful of toothache."

"But it's delicious." Qi Yue looked at Lin Chen eagerly and picked up another string, "Brother Xiaoxuan, you are biased. Xiaochen is still eating."

"That's the second skewer. If you eat the rest, it will be the third. Don't think I'm easy to fool." Qi Xuan made six skewers in total, and wanted to leave the other two for Qi Zheng and Fu Jingyi.

They were the last to enter, both of them were holding a lot of things in their hands, Qi Xuan hurried to help them. He also told Lin Chen to keep an eye on Qi Yue and not to eat anymore. Qi Yue pouted and pretended to be angry, but Qi Xuan ignored him.

"What did you two buy?" Fu Jingyi and Qi Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after putting down their things. Lin Chen came over with two strings of candied haws and gave one to each of them. Qi Zheng was a little surprised, "You bought it? They sell this now?"

Lin Chen helped explain, "My brother's cooking is better than the ones outside. Xiaoyue and I have already eaten two skewers."

Qi Zheng and Fu Jingyi didn't like sweet food, but they gave Qi Xuan face and ate two each. Qi Xuan ate Fu Jingyi's string. Qi Zheng's string was originally given to Lin Chen, who ate one and then gave it to Qi Yue. As a result, Qi Yue ate the most candied haws, and she became happy again.

Fu Jingyi moved all the empty wine jars he bought to the corner of the yard, "Xiaoxuan, these are clean. You can use them directly without brushing them."

Qi Zheng also took out several glass jars. "Xiao Chen and I went to that shop and looked around again. As expected, we saw several jars, although the colors were different from what you bought before."

Qi Xuan took the can and said happily, "Thank you, big brother, the color doesn't matter." Then he asked him if he had finished the mulberry wine last time, and if he had, he would have more. When Qi Zheng heard that there was more, he asked for another small can.

"Don't leave, come and stay for dinner. Why didn't your godmother come with you?" After seeing her man bought a huge piece of tofu, Qi Xuan wanted to keep everyone to eat together.

"We are just here to eat for free." Qi Zheng was a little helpless. His mother didn't care much about them since she had let it go. Today, an aunt who his mother had a very good relationship with came to visit. The aunt's family also had a young man, and it was said that he was going to get married in a few days. The aunt asked his mother to help choose some jewelry. The two of them went to the town together and didn't come back at noon.

Qi Xuan thought this was a good thing. A godmother should have her own good sisters and something to do. "Then I'll go cook. Brother Yi, help me light the fire."

No matter how hard Qi Xuan tried, he just couldn't learn how to make a fire, so now Fu Jingyi had to help him light a fire every time he cooked.

We decided to make fried tofu at noon. Qi Xuan prepared a sweet and sour sauce. We coated the cut tofu with cornstarch and fried it in oil. After frying, we put it in the pan again and added the sauce. The sour and sweet taste came out immediately.

This dish goes especially well with rice. Qi Zheng, Fu Jingyi and Qi Xuan all love to eat rice, so the most consumed food in his family is rice, and they have to cook a lot every time.

Qi Xuan made a salad with mushrooms, fungus and green vegetables picked up from the mountain. Since it was hot, she didn't make soup. Since it was still early, Qi Xuan made a big pot of sour plum soup. After it was done, she put it in ice and it would be ready to drink.

After eating and drinking, they began to feel sleepy. Lin Chen took Qi Yue back to the house to rest. Qi Zheng also felt a little sleepy, so Qi Xuan asked him to go to the house to rest as well, since there was nothing to do anyway.

After placing the grapes where the sun couldn't reach, Qi Xuan felt a little tired and was pulled back to the house by Fu Jingyi to rest.

When they woke up, the sun had already set and it wasn't that hot anymore. Qi Xuan started making wine. The other four sat in a row and watched him remove the roots and stems of the grapes and put them into the jar, then put in some rock sugar and covered the jar tightly.

Finally, he instructed Fu Jingyi to put all these in a dark place in the yard where there was no sunlight.

"Brother Xiaoxuan, how long will it take to brew these?" Qi Yue asked, looking at the row of wine jars in the corner.

"It usually takes about 40 days. It's not just left there, I have to stir it every day. After the time is up, I have to filter out the grape cores and grape skins, and the remaining is the real wine." Qi Xuan explained to him seriously. Then he was a little disappointed, "This is my first time, I don't know if it will be successful."

Qi Yue was blindly confident in Qi Xuan's cooking skills. "It will definitely be successful, Brother Xiaoxuan. No matter what you cook, you will succeed in one try. You have to believe in yourself." He looked serious and patted Qi Xuan on the shoulder.
