Traveling through 70's wine

As soon as the news came out, Aunt Lin no longer took the initiative to talk to her, and her son Lin Tianlu ignored her. She was very surprised and asked Wu Qing: "Sister Qingqing, how did I offend Aunt Lin?" Wu Qing glanced at her and said: "Haven't you figured it out? You earned more work points before, so Aunt Lin wanted you to be her daughter-in-law. Now, you also know." She said it meaningfully.

Wen Qing suddenly realized and started laughing.

Gu Hua came over and asked Wen Qing: "Wen Qing, are you sick? The team leader said that you can't go out in the future, what's going on?"

Wen Qing looked at Gu Hua and said, "I fell and hurt my head last time, and I have headaches from time to time. This time I went to the county to see a doctor, and the doctor advised me not to do heavy work. From now on, I will cut grass for pigs, and I can also earn work points, but less."

Gu Hua said anxiously: "You have a headache? Have you taken any medicine?"

Wu Qing glanced at Wen Qing, and Wen Qing replied, "I took the medicine, and the main thing is not to overwork."

Gu Hua ran back to his room, came out and handed Wen Qing a paper bag, saying, "This is the Gastrodia elata I picked before. It is said that eating this can cure headaches."

Wen Qing quickly declined and said, "No, no, I'll go dig it myself."

Gu Hua insisted: "You're welcome, you should get treatment first."

Wen Qing couldn't refuse, so she could only put it away and said, "Thank you, come over for dinner tonight, call Luo Yixing, and I'll make crayfish."

Gu Hua said: "No, no, you take a rest first."

Wen Qing said, "I'm not that squeamish. It's a deal." Then she turned and went back into the house.

Wu Qing smiled and said to her, "Is Gu Hua interested in you?" His tone was questioning, but his intonation was affirmative.

Wen Qing said, "No, we are all educated youth, so we just care about each other."

Wu Qing stopped talking. Wen Qing went to fetch a bucket of water and started washing the crayfish in the yard. Gu Hua came over to help. Wen Qing wanted to ask her something but said nothing. They only talked about farm work in the village and agreed to go catch crayfish again.

In the evening, the spicy crayfish made by Wen Qing made everyone very satisfied. After cleaning up the kitchen, Wen Qing went to the attic to rest.

After entering the space, Wen Qing looked at the collected parts, first made a rust remover, then used tools to remove the broken parts, found replacement parts to install, and sometimes the sizes did not match, so they had to be improved before they could be installed. Time passed unknowingly, Wen Qing added engine oil and diesel, and a rotary tiller was made.

Wen Qing pulled the rope and held the handle, and the rotary tiller started with a roar. Wen Qing installed the blade, found a piece of grass, turned on the switch, pushed the rotary tiller and started digging the soil.

As expected, her efficiency increased greatly. After a while, she reclaimed a 10-acre field. Wen Qing put down the rotary tiller, picked up the plowed grass, dried the grass roots and burned them into ash, and fed the grass leaves to chickens and rabbits. The rabbits reproduced very quickly. The four rabbits in the space gave birth to 1 rabbits in just over a month. At this rate, the rabbits will be sold soon, but the reproduction of chickens will take some time.

Wen Qing collected more than 100 eggs. The space she enclosed for raising chickens was relatively large, and she only built a fence where the peninsula met the hillside. The chickens could eat the grass and insects on the meadow by themselves, and sometimes even small fish in the shallow water, so she didn't need to feed them. The rabbits were more troublesome, so she had to come in to feed them twice a day after cutting grass for the pigs.

Wen Qing did a thorough cleaning of the rabbit house and the chicken coop. She collected the poultry manure and poured it into the dug pit. She then covered it with soil. After it had decomposed, she spread it on the ground as fertilizer.

Wen Qing was exhausted after doing so much work. She took a bath in the bamboo building and felt relaxed. It seemed that the spring water was not only good for the body, but also helpful for taking a bath. After taking a bath, Wen Qing fell asleep in the bedroom of the bamboo building.

After waking up, she left the space. Everything was quiet outside. Looking out the window, the sky was full of stars. It should still be late at night. Wen Qing sat down cross-legged and began to practice. She circulated the vital energy in her body according to the new lines on the jade piece. As she practiced, the vital energy in her meridians became more and more dense. Wen Qing immersed her mind in the practice and was very focused.

The heat in the body circulated in circles, and the Baihui acupoint became more and more swollen, as if a large drop of liquid slowly flowed along the silk diabolo and Jiaoshenkong to the ring finger Guanchong. Wen Qing felt very amused, and it flowed from Guanchong to the silk diabolo and to the Baihui acupoint like a ball. In the continuous flow, the water drop became larger and more lustrous.

Finally, she put the beads into the Baihui acupoint. She woke up from the state of meditation. At this time, the sky was already slightly bright. Wen Qing did not go to the sunbathing dam to practice. She ate a piece of steamed bread left in the bowl by Wu Qing, and went to collect grass for pigs with a backpack on her back.

There were a lot of grasses in her space, so she didn't need to go out and look for them. Therefore, this time she was going to go to the valley where she found wild grapes last time to see if they were ripe. If they were ripe, she would make wine.

The Grape Valley is in the ditch outside the dense forest, but the entrance is very small and rarely visited.

Wen Qing accidentally entered from behind a boulder beside the stream. She was holding a wooden stick and wearing long sleeves and long pants. It was already September, and there were still many snakes and insects in the forest.

She sprinkled snake repellent on herself and walked while beating the snakes to scare them away. It took more than an hour to get into the valley, which was about 2-3 miles long. There were about 7-8 mu of wild grapes in it, which could yield about 2 kilograms of grapes, and more than 8000 liters of wine if brewed well.

Wen Qing's grandmother in her previous life ran a winery. When she was a child, Wen Qing went to her grandmother's house to play and helped her. She also made wine for herself, so she knew how to make wine.

There are several open earthenware jars in Wen Qing's space, which are used to make kimchi. They are washed and dried in advance and set aside.

She entered the valley and saw bunches of purple grapes hanging on the vines. Wen Qing was extremely happy. She picked the wild grapes, removed the bad fruits and weeds, and carefully put them into the backpack. After she had picked grapes from an acre of land, she took the grapes into the space, poured the grapes into the earthenware jar, crushed all the grapes in the jar with her hands, then put some white sugar in and mixed them well, and covered the mouth of the earthenware jar with a clean wooden board. This is because carbon dioxide is produced during the fermentation process, so the jar cannot be sealed.

Wen Qing caught two fat rabbits from the rabbit house in the space, and after leaving the space, she slaughtered and washed them by the stream, built an earthen stove with a few stones, picked up dry firewood to make a fire, skewered one rabbit with branches, and roasted it on the fire, and put the other one in the space, ready to go back and eat it.

The last time she went to the city, she bought some seasonings and put them in her space. Now she carefully brushed them on the rabbit. After the rabbit was roasted, the fragrant smell was like a little hook, making her saliva almost flow out.

After lunch, Wen Qing picked another acre of grapes and entered the space to make wine. One acre of land can produce about 3000 kilograms of grapes, which takes 5 earthenware jars; two acres of land can produce more than 6000 kilograms of grapes. Her earthenware jars have been used up. The problem now is that there are not enough pottery jars to hold all the grapes. According to this usage, she needs 30 to 40 jars of this size.

Wen Qing camouflaged the entrance behind the boulder, picked up the backpack and walked back. When she was about to leave the forest, Wen Qing took out the grass and rabbit from the space, wrapped the rabbit in banana leaves, put it under the backpack, and piled the grass on it. Wen Qing went to the pig farm to hand in the pig grass, which counted as 4 work points. Who cares? Anyway, these work points are not enough to fill her stomach.

When she got home, Wu Qing hadn't finished work yet. She started to cook dinner, roasted rabbit, cooked winter melon soup, and steamed sweet potato rice. Wu Qing came back and ate directly. After dinner, Wen Qing studied her high school textbooks as usual.

On the market day, Wen Qing was going to ask where there were pottery jars and jars for sale. Nowadays, some places do not strictly control farmers going to the market as before. Everyone can take out their own things to exchange for other things, but this kind of transaction is limited to the market day. As for the usual transactions, they are all managed by the supply and marketing cooperatives. The private transactions of ordinary people are called speculation.

Wen Qing grabbed four rabbits from the space, tied them up with straw ropes, and put them in a backpack, preparing to go to town to sell them secretly or exchange them for things.

Wen Qing didn't stop to sell rabbits when she reached Shangyi Town. She walked around and found a stall selling earthen bowls and pickle jars at the end of the street. She asked the woman who was running the stall, "Sister, do you have any big water jars?"

The woman said, "Yes, but the water tank is too big to carry here. You can only buy it at my house."

Wen Qing was very happy. "Where is my elder sister's home? Is it far?"

The woman said, "Not far, just outside the town, two or three miles away."

Wen Qing asked, "How much is the water tank?"

The woman said, "The big ones are two yuan each, and the small ones are one yuan each. The big ones can hold two buckets of water, and the small ones can hold one bucket of water."

“How many do you have at home now?”

"There are 10 big ones and 15 small ones."

Wen Qing estimated that the big one could hold 200 liters of water and the small one could hold 100 liters of water, so she said, "Sister, can I go and take a look now?"

The woman called out a boy in his teens: "Big brother, you and the second brother watch over the stall here. You know the prices. I will take this sister home and close the stall in the afternoon. You can have this for lunch." She took out a bag of corn steamed bread.

The woman took Wen Qing home. As expected, the place was not far away and they arrived in a quarter of an hour.

The woman's house was on the side of the road, in a small courtyard, with tiles, pots, water jars, and pickle jars piled up in the courtyard, making it look very messy. There was a tile kiln behind the courtyard, and the soil on the slope behind had been dug very deep, and there were tools for making tiles and water jars next to it.

Wen Qing proposed to use a rabbit to exchange for the money of a water jar. At first, the woman refused. Later, Wen Qing said that he wanted to buy all the existing water jars in her house, and also ordered 20 large water jars and 200 small pottery pots. Seeing that Wen Qing bought so many things, she would make a lot of money, and it would be good to exchange four rabbits for a snack, so the woman agreed to use the rabbits to exchange for the money of the water jars.

The small pottery pot was negotiated to be 3 cents each, and the water tank and pottery pot were 135 yuan in total. After exchanging the four rabbits, he still had to pay 125 yuan. Wen Qing paid 25 yuan for this payment and paid a deposit of 5 yuan.

He said to the woman, "Sister, I don't have that much money either. Can I exchange it with millet and corn later?" A week later, the rice and corn in her space were ripe. After many negotiations, the two reached an agreement. At 200 cents per pound for millet and 375 cents per pound for corn, Wen Qing would give kilograms of millet and kilograms of corn.

Wen Qing asked the woman to help her carry 10 large water jars and 15 small water jars to the roadside, saying that someone was coming to help her move the things. The woman did not ask any more questions and ran several times before she finished moving the things. After she walked away, Wen Qing put the things into the space and carried the basket back to Xiangyang Village.
