Chapter 395 The most beautiful fairy
Yu Zhi is going to make some wine to practice his hands first, and let people buy grapes and rock sugar.
The price of sugar in the Daqing Dynasty was high, but it was still available. There are no grapes in Shanyun County, so I have to go to other places to buy them. By the way, I will inquire about grape seedlings and buy them back if I can find them. So many fields have been opened, and they can be arranged immediately.
Everyone in the county yamen knew that the magistrate was looking for grapes, and a yamen servant quietly approached Zhai Yougui, with a nervous expression on his face, "Zhai Tou, my house is in Xiaohezhuang, and there is a kind of wild fruit on the mountain over there. Grapes are very similar, green and purple, but they are small and taste bad, and no one likes to eat them. Some people picked them and fed them to pigs, but the pigs had diarrhea that day."
"Really?" Zhai Yougui asked.
The yamen servant hesitated, "It looks similar, but the taste is not at all what the adults described."
To be honest, Zhai Yougui has never seen Putao, but he doesn't want to miss this opportunity, what if it is? Didn't he just show his face in front of adults?
He thought for a while, and said: "How about this, you go home and pick some." Can you pick some grapes and find someone who knows grapes? If not, it's just a trip. What if?
The yamen servant was very happy, "Hey, hey, I'll go back now." Like Zhai Yougui, he also held the hope that it would happen.
"Don't panic, you come back first." Zhai Yougui stopped the person and ordered in a low voice, "Quietly, don't make any noise yet."
is the best, if not, and yelling out again, wouldn't it make people laugh?
When the wild fruit was delivered to Yu Zhi, she recognized it immediately, "This is a wild grape, where did it come from?"
"Wild grapes?" It was the first time for Wen Jiuxiao to see one. He tasted one and it tasted astringent. "Can you make wine?"
"Yes." Yu Zhi remembered that it should be possible, but in order to taste good, it must be of good quality grapes.
Anyway, the grapes haven’t been bought yet, let’s make a batch of wild grapes first.
Wen Jiuxiao got an affirmative answer, and immediately arranged for people to pick wild grapes.
This errand was directly handed over to the yamen servant in Xiaohezhuang, holding the rewarded piece of cloth, the smile on his face never fell.
Your Excellency is so generous, this piece of cloth is enough for his whole family to make a suit of clothes. That's not to mention, the adults allowed him to find someone to pick wild grapes in the village by himself, and he was paid seven yuan a day by himself. Now, wouldn't everyone in the village have to curry favor with him?
He has already thought about it, father, mother, second brother, third brother, and younger sister all go to pick it, and his family can earn forty yuan a day. There are a lot of wild grapes on the mountain, so I have to pick them for seven or eight days, and I can earn three renminbi of silver, plus the wages he gave to the family before, I can send my younger brother to study.
The younger brother is smart, unlike him, he only has a handful of strength. In the past six months, he has gained a lot of knowledge in the county government, and he knows that if he wants to go up, he still has to study.
Yu Zhiben thought, how many wild grapes can there be? If you can pick twenty or thirty catties, you will be able to reach the sky.
The result... Hey, more than 100 catties were shipped back on the first day, and I heard that they can pick another seven or eight days.
Yu Zhi...
What else to say? Let people go to buy rock sugar and wine jars again, the existing ones are simply not enough.
Yu Zhi brewed wine for ten days. At the beginning, there were more than 100 catties of wild grapes per day, but there were not so many after that. After picking for ten days, it was two days more than expected. In the end, the wine jars filled two rooms, and if it was brewed, there would be six or seven hundred catties of wine.
"Young Madam, how long will it take for the wine to be ready?" Several maids can look forward to it.
But if you want to taste better, you have to let it go for a while, maybe three months to half a year.
"It's great. I'll be able to drink wine in a month. I haven't had it since I've grown up." Cherry propped her chin up, looking forward to it.
Mother Jiang smiled, "Don't talk about you, this old slave is already old, and he hasn't drunk it yet. I'm old and old, but I'm lucky to be in the light of the young lady, and I can also taste this precious thing."
Yu Zhi also laughed, "Mother Jiang, I don't like to hear you say that. What do you mean 'this age'? You are only turning 50, and you are in your prime, and your future blessings will be long."
Mother Jiang was very happy, her eyes were narrowed with a smile, "Young Madam will make this old slave happy."
"Why are you coaxing you? You have such a good body, so it's not too much to live to be eighty years old?"
"Eighty?" Mother Jiang took a deep breath, her eyes widened, "Then you won't be an old goblin?" She didn't even dare to think about it, and she was content to live to be sixty.
"Why is it an old goblin? I still want to live to be a hundred years old, so isn't that an old goblin?" Yu Zhi immediately joked, "Mother Jiang, let's work hard together, and you will try to bring someone who can get on the boat. grandson."
Several maids also jokingly yelled, one said she would live to be eighty, the other said she would live to ninety, as if they had the final say on how old they would be.
Cherry even said: "Young Madam, even if you become an old goblin, you will still be the prettiest old goblin."
Yu Zhi thought to himself: Isn't that right? Isn't she the most beautiful fairy! Otherwise, Wen Jiuxiao could never forget him? The so-called love at first sight is nothing but love at first sight. If she didn't have a good face, would Wen Jiuxiao be willing to understand her interesting soul?
Don't keep saying that men are lustful, why is it bad for women?
Let's just talk about Wen Jiuxiao, if he didn't have that good face, she wouldn't be willing to coax him back then! Not to mention what to do with him. She might have run away long ago.
On the twenty-fifth day, Yu Zhi drank wine. There is no luminous cup, nor is there any glazed cup, so I found a white porcelain tea cup and made up for it. The light red liquid is contained in it, which is clear and very beautiful.
As for the taste, it is similar to Yu Zhi's previous brewing. The jar she opened has a little more sugar in it, and she likes to drink this kind of taste.
The maidservants were astonished, "Young Madam, this wine is so delicious!"
"Young Madam, when shall we brew again?" They all know that even though the wine jars are filled with two rooms, the Hou Ye in Beijing and the Young Madam's natal family should be more filial, right? The remaining points are not much, and the master is not enough to drink, and they are even less able to earn as slaves.
"Next time we will make it again. You don't need the young lady to do it. You command, and the servants will take over all the work."
"I don't know when Qingfeng Steward will be able to buy grapes."
Yu Zhi also wants to brew some more. Obviously, the first batch is not enough, and she still wants to sell it.
Wen Jiuxiao also likes to drink wine, he doesn't usually drink much, but since he has this wine, when Yu Zhi drinks, he always has a drink or two with him.
Outsiders don’t know that Yu Zhi has made wine, but inside the yamen know that everyone has contributed, let’s all get a taste of the points!
The forum must be reluctant to give it away, and there are only two people who can be sent by Yuzhi Forum, one is He Xiaodie's master, and the other is Xiaozizi's wife. The others are all jugs of one catty or two catties.
This is not for everyone, like the servants below, they just pour a cup for each of them to taste the taste.
Song Yi'an was lucky enough to get two catties, and he personally held the jug all the way and was not willing to put it down.
It’s been two weeks since school started, and I still have to take the final exam of the semester, ahhh!
