Winemaking is a technical job.

The process is complex and simple at the same time.

Shi Lidie is now living in ancient times. There is no mechanization, no assembly lines, and everything has to be done manually. She can only come up with a simple home-made wine-making plan.

Generally speaking, it takes ten days to half a month to brew successfully.

Winemaking can be roughly divided into four steps:

Prepare raw materials, make koji, ferment and distill.

Among them, fermentation is the most critical step and takes the longest time. It requires strict temperature control, and the fermentation process will directly affect the quality of wine.

So, Shi Lidie said to Mr. Pei, "at least ten days."

The Chen family provided Shi Lidie with sufficient high-quality barley, prepared appropriate tools according to her requirements, and moved them all to the yard for her.

"Ms. Shi, take a look, do you need anything else?" asked the housekeeper.

"We also need pens, ink, paper and inkstone." Shi Lidie smiled and added, "The more the better."

"Does brewing wine require pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"You don't understand. Professional winemakers all need these. They have to observe the changes in the koji anytime and anywhere and keep good records." Shi Lidie pretended to be profound.

The housekeeper didn't quite understand.

But thinking that the wine brewed by Miss Shi had been praised by Mr. Pei, he had no doubts and did as he was told.

After everything was prepared, Shi Lidie started to make the wine according to the recipe.

The raw materials were prepared by the Chen family, so she started directly by making the koji.

She mixed the raw materials in appropriate proportions, crushed them little by little with a pestle, then kneaded them into small balls, coated them with a layer of herbs, and wrapped them with a film.

After the koji is made, it is left to ferment.

In fact, fermentation does not require too much energy, it only requires observation at irregular intervals every day.

Therefore, Shi Lidie had plenty of time to do her own things——

Complete the mission with grace.

She took out the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone sent by the Chen family, and without saying a word, she lay down on the table and started writing. With her proficiency in calligraphy practice, she wrote very quickly.

"Aya, come here, I have finished writing 30 copies of Zhang Xu's "Stomachache Post", and I will pay for it."

[Host, this is different from what we agreed upon. ]

"What's the difference?"

[You are not using the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone produced by the system. ]

"You didn't say that we can only use props produced by the system to complete the task?" Shi Lidie retorted.

【this……】

Shi Lidie argued:

"I say you two are wasteful. You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't manage the household!"

"Points are so hard to come by. I can't go back to Tong'an Village for the time being. I can't get any more points. If I use them, I'll have less! Isn't this a way to be frugal?"

"Besides, aren't Chen's things good? Why spend money when you can get them for free?"

"Don't worry about what tools I use, just tell me whether I have finished the calligraphy or not? Have I completed the task?"

Aya: There is no fuck.

[Elegant mission completed, reward 50 copper coins, calligraphy proficiency: 7%]

……

Shi Lidie brews wine, writes, and occasionally fights against two stupid systems. Her life is peaceful but not boring.

Just like that, ten days passed in a flash.

The wine is ready.

Because the raw materials were good, the tools were complete, and the environment was suitable, the wine she brewed was stronger and more mellow than the last time she made it in the cowshed.

When you open the lid, a refreshing aroma of wine gushes out.

Accompanied by the passing wind, it was blown in all directions. The maids and servants who had never touched strong liquor before blushed and their hearts beat faster, and they became three parts drunk just by smelling it.

"It's done! I can smell the fragrance from a long way off! It's worth my ten extra days of waiting here!"

A hearty voice came from far away, it was Pei Yanchang.

He pushed open the door to the small courtyard, closed his eyes, sniffed the air intoxicatedly, with a look of obsession on his face.

Mr. Chen, who followed behind him, also smiled:

"Miss Shi, please bring out the newly brewed wine so we can have a taste!"

Shi Lidie found two porcelain bowls, used a gourd ladle to fill each of them with a bowl, and reminded them:

"The wine this time is purer and it's easy to get drunk."

"It's okay." Pei Yanchang waved his hand and immediately took a big gulp of drink.

Mr. Chen was more refined. He couldn't drink as much as the rough man Pei Yanchang, so he didn't dare to be too unrestrained and only tasted a little.

But just this one bite made him unable to stop:

"Even in the capital, there is no wine this mellow. Miss Shi, you are really capable!"

"Of course!" Shi Lidie was not modest at all.

She has a wealth of theoretical knowledge about modern society, and also has systematic wine-making recipes to provide step-by-step guidance. With such a powerful golden finger, if she can't make something decent, wouldn't it be a disgrace to us, the book-traversers?

Pei Yanchang finished a bowl of wine and looked at the bright and confident girl in front of him. She was not shy at all and he immediately showed admiration:

"I like your wine very much, what do you want?"

Everyone present is a human spirit.

She was just a little girl, and it would be unrealistic for her to come and offer wine to Mr. Chen when he was entertaining his guests without asking for anything in return.

Now that what she has brought out satisfies the masters, it is also acceptable to satisfy some of her demands.

Shi Lidie seemed to have anticipated this scene and did not hesitate at all:

"If Mr. Pei wants to reward me, please give me some gold and silver."

"That's it?" Pei Yanchang frowned. "Think about it carefully. I have some skills and connections. Isn't it too much of a loss to just ask for some gold and silver?"

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, but for little people like us, there is nothing more real than gold and silver." Shi Lidie did not change her mind.

She had read the original novel and knew that Mr. Pei had an unusual identity.

The "some connections" he mentioned was just a humble expression. If he took action, it would not be difficult for her to turn her life around and ascend to heaven.

But this is too unequal.

It was just some wine, and she didn't even pay for the raw materials. It wasn't worth Mr. Pei's huge favor in exchange for it.

When getting along with someone in a higher position, you must know when to advance and when to retreat, and not be greedy, only then can the relationship last long.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei's eyes were filled with admiration. He untied the pouch at his waist, took out two silver bills from it, and handed them over:

"This is a hundred taels of silver note, which can be exchanged at the Huitong Bank in town."

Shi Lidie did not hesitate, but took it over straightforwardly:

"Since Mr. Pei has given it to me, I will accept it with a clear conscience. It's just that the money is indeed a little bit more, but I won't let Mr. Pei suffer any loss. When I brew other wines in the future, I will ask someone to send some to you."

"Can you brew other kinds of wine?" Pei Yanchang asked curiously.

"Yes, but I don't have enough time this time. When I open a winery in the future, I will make a batch specially for you." Shi Lidie said.

The "Compendium of Winemaking" contains ten recipes, which is enough to last for a while.

Pei Yanchang was very happy and he kept saying that the trip was worthwhile.

However, he came out on official business this time, and ten days was already the limit for him to stay, and he could not delay any longer. After drinking the good wine, he had to say goodbye.

Mr. Chen quickly asked the butler to pack Shi Lidie's newly brewed wine into jars and load them all onto his carriage.

"Old Chen, this is such a good wine, why don't you keep some?"

"Miss Shi is in Luoyun Town. If I want to drink, I can ask her to help me." Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Brother Pei, you have a long way to go. After drinking this batch, you don't know when you will be able to enjoy it again!"

Pei Yanchang: ...I suddenly feel a little jealous of this old friend.

After seeing Pei Yanchang off, Master Chen returned to Shi Lidie's yard and said:

"Mr. Pei's reward to you is separate. I also said before that I would reward you. Miss Shi, do you still need money?"

"No, I have another request to Master Chen." Shi Lidie smiled and shook her head.

"tell me the story?"

"I said before that I wanted to open a winery in this town," Shi Lidie explained. "But I fled here with my parents a few years ago and got a temporary residence permit in Tong'an Village. Now my parents are both dead and I'm all alone..."

When Master Chen heard this, he understood everything: "You want me to help you transfer your household registration to the town?"

"Yes." Shi Lidie nodded, "I want to set up a female household."
