Otherworldly Days

Baskets and baskets of grapes were brought back, cleaned, picked out one by one, cut off the stalks of the grapes one by one, and the washed grapes were placed on a dustpan to dry.Sure enough, there were four more men working, and this speed was several times faster than two or three of them usually working. Originally, Cao Xiangnan was worried that he would not be able to pick that piece of grapes, but now he didn't have to worry at all. The smile on his face It never stopped.

The bottle bought back has been cleaned and put in the sun to dry. The water inside must be completely dried before it can be filled with wine.

After the alcohol in the jar is completely fermented, the dregs in the wine should be filtered out and put into a new container for the second fermentation.Cao Xiangnan brought Cao Gang and Liu Baishu in to filter the wine, scooped up a small spoonful of wine with a wine ladle, put it into a bowl and tasted it, then gave Cao Gang and Liu Baishu a spoonful of wine, asked ,"How about it?"

"The wine you drank last night was made from these fruits." Seeing Liu Baishu nodded, Cao Xiangnan told him with a smile, "So the fruits we picked outside are used to make wine."

After Cao Gang was surprised for the first time, there was no expression on his face now, but he was more looking forward to the more fragrant liquor that Cao Xiangnan said, "It's so amazing!" It's not like Liu Baishu has never seen that kind of sour fruit. He was hungry, he would never eat that kind of sour fruit, it was sour and astringent, he never thought that such a fruit could be brewed into such a delicious wine.

You don’t understand the reason behind this, and I don’t know how to tell you, so I won’t talk about it. Anyway, wine can be produced in this way.Cao Xiangnan's chin was raised, and he was about to praise me, but unfortunately Cao Gang and Liu Baishu are not smooth talkers, I'm afraid he will be disappointed.

He took the two of them to filter out the finished wine first. As for how to deal with the rest, Cao Xiangnan also showed Liu Baishu. Seeing that he was interested in this, he also told him some things to pay attention to, " ... Like this, every day you have to open the lid and press the dregs on it, and smell the smell closely, come and smell it, you can tell if the smell is bad, you can tell it by smelling it a lot.”

"When these things on the top have no color, and there is no sweetness in the wine, it means that the wine is finished."

Liu Baishu nodded, keeping all these in his heart.

As for Cao Xiangnan teaching him these things, he glanced at their general and saw their general nodding slightly to him, so he learned it seriously.

"For the first time, two small jars of wine were filtered out. You drank one jar last night. I will put this jar in a small bottle and send it to Yipinzhai. I will go to the town later, and you will also go to the town together. Let's go." Cao Xiangnan put the filtered wine on it, the color and taste would be better after a while.He planned to send some to Yipinzhai for a while before, and when Yipinzhai got a reply, their wines would start to go out.

Now that Cao Gang's house has been built, he plans to build a school, and he has to go to Master Feng.The factory building is about to be completed, and the school will start construction first. When there are more people, they will be allocated to build the school. We will try to build it quickly before winter, and the rest of the work will have to wait until next year. .

"Let's go, let's go eat first, and come back later to deal with these things." Cao Xiangnan said.

At noon, everyone stopped what they were doing and went to have lunch.

At this time, the buddies who were making clothes in the back also came over for dinner, and a group of buddies kept secretly looking at the few extra men Cao Silang had.Wang Dahu let others scrutinize him carelessly, anyway, he has a wife, so he wouldn't like these guys.

"Em, Eminem..."

The children of several families went to find their own mothers, and obediently ate the things in the bowls.Now that life is better, the children have changed the most. It is obvious that the children of several families are a little whiter, fatter, and taller. The happiest thing is to find these changes in the children. Emmies.

After lunch, everyone rests for a while.

After the children washed their little hands and faces, they went to bed by themselves, and the noise of playing inside stopped after a while.

"Wanfeng, sit on the bed, and I'll try the new shoes on for you to see if they fit." Back in the house, Cao Xiangnan put on the shoes bought in the town for Qi Wanfeng, and found that they were just right.Qi Wanfeng looked at the happy Fulang, smiled with tenderness in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, Fulang."

Now Qi Wanfeng's body is slowly swollen, the instep is one size bigger than before, and the old shoes don't fit anymore.

"It's just that thanking you is too unrealistic. I want something more practical." Cao Xiangnan smiled badly.

Qi Wanfeng took a look at his husband, and when he approached his face, he still smiled helplessly, and leaned over to kiss her husband.When Qi Wanfeng's lips were about to fall on his face, Cao Xiangnan suddenly turned his head, and their lips were facing each other.

When the person was about to leave, Cao Xiangnan quickly put his arms around Qi Wanfeng's waist, not letting him escape, but deepening the kiss.The tongue invaded the other's mouth, chasing his uvula, and the tongues of the two were entangled, making it impossible to tell who belonged to whom.

Now that the two of them had a rare time alone, Cao Xiangnan seized this time to moles his wife.Aside from being able to be alone with my daughter-in-law during sleep, the rest of the time is followed by a lot of light bulbs, and it is impossible to touch my daughter-in-law's little hands.

Even Cao Xiangnan himself didn't know why, but now he was more and more eager to touch this person.

After coaxing the man to sleep, seeing the man sleeping peacefully on the bed without any worries, Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the center of the man's brow, and couldn't help but put a kiss on it, before he came out of the room.

The children in the house were all asleep, and the house suddenly became quiet.

When the sun was shining, they had to hurry up and deal with the dried grapes first, and they would continue to pick grapes in the afternoon.Cao Xiangnan took them together to process these grapes. Among them, Liu Baishu and Gan Weiqi were more serious about learning, but relatively speaking, Liu Baishu was more interested. Someone who can help.

On weekdays, Cao Gang would help with these things, but seeing that he is more interested in drinking, he is not very interested in how to make wine.

After the crushed grapes are mixed with sugar evenly in proportion, they are put into jars, and only wait for the alcohol to ferment later, and slowly brew into wine.

The bottles dried under the sun quickly dried up. After Cao Xiangnan put the wine in, he wanted to send the wine to Yipinzhai, "Bai Lian, the evening breeze is about to wake up and ask me, just say I went to town."

"Okay." Sun Bailian nodded, he got up late today, and was not sleepy at noon, and did not go to rest.

The carriage went to the town, and Cao Xiangnan took Liu Baishu with him, and told him some things on the way, so that he could have a general idea.

"Brother, didn't I say to bring you good things a few days ago? Today I brought you here." Went to Yipinzhai, saw Shopkeeper Liu, Cao Xiangnan picked up a bottle, lifted the lid, and handed it to Shopkeeper Liu. She raised her chin to him and said, "Smell how it tastes."

"Oh, but what good things did you bring for my old brother?" Shopkeeper Liu was curious. He had rarely seen Cao Xiangnan recently, and knowing that he was busy, he kept secret and didn't tell him.I still remember him now, when he brought the things over and took the bottle, he first took a look at the bottle, put it up his nose and sniffed it, then smiled and said, "Well, it's really a good thing."

Shopkeeper Liu never expected that what Cao Xiangnan sent would be wine, so he gestured and said, "Come on, let's talk upstairs." "Brother, let me introduce you to a new buddy, Liu Baishu." Cao Xiangnan told them The two introduced, "Bai Shu, this is shopkeeper Liu." Liu Baishu hugged shopkeeper Liu.

"Well, he's a nice boy." Shopkeeper Liu knew that Cao Xiangnan brought people here to meet him. Shopkeeper Liu also knew how many people Cao Xiangnan had at present. He knew that Sun Ji had brought some boys to Nanyang.

Shopkeeper Liu sized up the boy Cao Xiangnan had brought. He had read people for half his life, and he was still accurate.One look at this kid's temperament is different, but I don't know where Cao Xiaodi found him, and his attitude towards him is also a bit polite.

"Sit, sit, sit." A few people went upstairs to the wing room, and the servants who followed behind brought refreshments and tea, and shopkeeper Liu asked them to sit down.

"Bai Shu, sit down." Cao Xiangnan signaled Liu Baishu to sit down, and said, "Have a cup of tea and have some refreshments. These refreshments are made by the chef of Yipinzhai. You can taste them."

Liu Baishu sat down, even the plain clothes couldn't conceal the unusual demeanor of this person.He usually holds the fan in his hand on his waist, but he never leaves this fan easily, even if he leaves the border now, he is still used to carrying it with him.

"Well, this taste, this taste, good, good, good." The red wine was poured out, clear and clean, and the smell wafted out. Smelling this smell, Shopkeeper Liu knew it was a good thing. He shook his finger and looked at Cao Xiangnan , said, "It turns out that you kid, who hasn't been seen recently, is messing with this thing."

Cao Xiangnan handed the wine to Shopkeeper Liu, smiled and said, "Drink and watch."

Seeing shopkeeper Liu's appearance, he was [-]% sure that the wine would sell well.He wasn't worried that these wines wouldn't be sold. When the wines were all finished, he planned to brew baijiu. The fragrant and hot baijiu would be more popular in winter.

Shopkeeper Liu took the wine, took a sip, tasted it slowly, and then took a second sip, slowly closed his eyes, took a breath, opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and said, "It's a good wine." .”
