Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Zhou Laoer picked up the bucket and started drawing water from the well. "My daughter wants to make wine, so just come with me. Lingling said she won't treat you unfairly."

Daqin frowned, "Second brother, what's the point of being unfair? You've helped me so much, is this a small thing worth mentioning?"

"My eldest niece is only a few years old. Can she possibly master the art of brewing wine? What if so much grain is wasted..."

Zhou Laoer's answer was to pour a bag of grain into the big vat, followed by two buckets of water.

Daqin took a look and decided to stop thinking about it.

Get to work!

Zhou Chi and his brothers saw this and came to help.

In the room, Zhou Lingling was also talking to her mother about winemaking.

"Girl, can we make wine here?"

Chen looked worried and felt a little sorry for the sacks of food, which were enough for their family to eat for several months.

Zhou Lingling was scribbling with her feather brush. Without even looking up, she said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've heard others say it'll work."

If you want to know which company has the best wine-making technology, search Baidu online.

My grandmother used to make rice wine and fruit wine. She watched a lot and later went online to search for tutorials on other wine-making techniques.

So you will know how to do it, no problem!

Chen: “…” I was even more worried. What should I do?

My daughter just heard about it from others and decided to do it herself.

After a while, Zhou Lingling put down the chicken feather brush and shook her wrist.

Chen took her daughter's hand with a distressed look and began to rub it. "My daughter is so smart. She can even write."

If she hadn't been afraid that her daughter might be writing a secret recipe, she would have asked her eldest son to help her write it.

Hearing this, Zhou Lingling's body stiffened. She chuckled, "I only learned a little from watching big brother in school. My writing is not very good."

Chen seemed oblivious and continued to praise, "That's why my daughter is so smart. She can learn to read and write without even going to school."

Zhou Lingling also picked up the paper as if nothing had happened and said to Chen:

"Today, Dad and Uncle Daqin will wash the grains and soak them overnight. Tomorrow, we'll steam them, one basket at a time, for about 15 minutes. They'll be cooked through, not sticky, and with no raw core inside."

"Mom will go to the market tomorrow and buy a bag of Daqu. After the steamed ingredients have cooled down, we can add the koji and then put them in a large vat to ferment. At this time of year, it will take about half a month."

"During this time, we can decide on a location for the tavern, clean it up, and officially open it once the wine is brewed. What do you think, Mom?"

What does Chen think?

She felt it couldn't be better.

It was because her daughter arranged everything in an orderly manner that she felt a little guilty.

"So what has your father been doing during this time? And your Uncle Daqin, you told them not to go to the docks."

"Work at home!"

Zhou Lingling said, "Working at the docks is still too hard. Although Dad is young and strong now, he will be covered in injuries in a few years."

"When our tavern opens, you have to take the lead. Things like brewing wine and buying groceries can be done by my dad and the others. Besides, we also have to make braised food, so you and dad will definitely be too busy to handle it."

Chen said without hesitation: "Well, there is your second brother. He has nothing to do all day long. Helping your uncle is the same as helping our family."

"Mom, have you forgotten? Second brother also has a mission now. He not only has to practice martial arts but also study every day. He can help out in his free time, but it's not a long-term solution."

"Our tavern is built for the long term. Uncle Daqin is honest and reliable. If he works for us, how about we pay him 200 wen a month?"

According to her brother's progress in passing the imperial examination and becoming a scholar in three years, they will have to stay in Yunlai Town for at least three years, which can be considered a medium- to long-term development goal.

When Chen heard the wage of two hundred wen, she felt a little reluctant.

"Your eldest cousin doesn't even earn that much per month at the cloth shop..."

Theirs is still a big cloth shop, but theirs is just a small tavern that has yet to be built.

But Zhou Lingling had carefully considered this number.

"Mom, Uncle Daqin works at the docks, earning three to five hundred coins a month. He can make one or two taels of silver a year. We're hiring someone to do the work, so we can't let him earn less and less, right?"

"Besides, we don't distinguish between busy and slack farming seasons here. When the farming season comes, Aunt Fang will be home alone. If she needs help, two hundred coins isn't too much..."

Thinking of Fang, who was busy taking care of Erniu at home, Chen also felt that her daughter was right.

"Okay, then let's do as my daughter says. Didn't I tell you to ask Uncle Daqin to bring your Aunt Fang and Erniu to our house to play? I think we should do it tomorrow!"

Zhou Lingling: “…” I want to go up the mountain with my dad tomorrow.

"Okay... tomorrow then."

After saying that, Chen turned around and fumbled in the cabinet beside their bed, then took out a small cloth bag.

When they opened it, they saw some small change in silver, which was all their family's belongings.

Zhou Lingling didn't understand what was going on, and then she heard Chen say:

"My daughter, I know you have money, but I can't rely on you alone for all the family affairs."

"My parents aren't very capable, they only saved up a dozen or so taels of silver. These ten taels are what you gave me last time. This time we're going to buy a tavern. Whether we rent or buy it, take all the money."

Chen's tone was very firm, and after she finished speaking, she stuffed a bag of silver into her daughter's hand without saying a word.

"mother……"

Zhou Lingling pursed her lips and looked at the cloth bag in her hand with mixed feelings.

Chen seemed to know what she was going to say and spoke first:

"Don't worry, my daughter. I've left a few thousand dollars here. It's all from the money I shared with your aunt when we sold the braised food. It's enough for our family to spend."

"Mom doesn't know anything, but running a tavern isn't easy. There's a lot of money to be made! Take it, and let Mom and Dad contribute a little too? Okay?"

Since her mother said so, Zhou Lingling had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, I understand, mom. Once the tavern opens, all the profits will be given to you!"

She leaned on Chen's shoulder with a smile, her heart surging.

Really, so happy!

In her previous life, God had taken away her relatives, leaving her with only a grandmother to depend on, but in this life, he had given her so many wonderful family members...

the other side,

Needless to say, the old patriarch and his family were very happy when Zhou Zhuo returned home that night.

Because the next day when Zhou Lingling sent her elder brother to the academy, she saw the grand old patriarch and his family.

"Old patriarch?"

Looking at the trembling old man in front of him, Zhou Laoer was so frightened that he jumped off the ox cart.

"Little Erzi... your family is our great benefactor!"

The academy in the town was a place their family had never dared to dream of, but now it had finally come true.

The old patriarch held Zhou Laoer tightly with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Zhuo's parents also looked grateful. Zhou Zhuo's mother said, "Uncle, our Zhou Zhuo is really a blessing to you this time. Here is 1,200 coins. I still need to pay your family 800 coins. I asked Zhou Zhuo to write an IOU."

As he said that, Zhou Zhuo's father took out a promissory note and gave it to Zhou Laoer.

"Brother, don't worry, our family will definitely pay you back!"

He will also go to work at the dock starting tomorrow, and he will sell everything he has to make sure his son studies well!
