Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

As the cherries arrived one after another, the villagers in the factory went to their respective work stations and began to sort and wash them, carefully selecting the best quality cherries and removing the damaged, moldy and other unqualified fruits one by one.

The cleaning process is equally meticulous, with workers gently washing the cherries with running water to ensure that their surfaces are clean and free of impurities.

As the washing proceeds, the bright color of the cherries becomes more and more obvious, as if each one is shining with an alluring luster.

The whole factory is filled with a sweet fruity aroma, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in a cherry forest in full bloom. Jiang Xue stands aside, supervising the whole process with sharp and focused eyes.

A villager came over and asked respectfully, "Miss Jiang, how are we going to make cherry wine next?"

Jiang Xue smiled and replied: "Next, we need to crush the cleaned cherries, which will facilitate the juice to seep out and ferment.

You can use the crushing tool we have prepared to do this.

After crushing, the cherry juice and pulp are placed in a fermentation tank, and then the appropriate amount of sugar and yeast are added to ensure the right ratio.

Remember, controlling the temperature and humidity during fermentation is the key to making high-quality cherry wine.”

The villagers nodded in understanding, but still asked uncertainly: "Then how do we control the temperature and humidity?"

Jiang Xue patiently explained: "We can use thermometers and hygrometers to monitor the temperature and humidity in the fermentation tank to ensure that they remain within the appropriate range. However, I understand that you may not be familiar with these tools."

The villagers looked at each other in confusion, obviously they had never heard of thermometers and hygrometers before.

Jiang Xue frowned slightly, stumped by the villagers' question.

She thought that without these professional tools, it would be difficult to accurately control temperature and humidity.

But she quickly thought of a solution, so she turned to the villagers and said: "Although we don't have thermometers and hygrometers, we can judge by observation and feel.

For example, the temperature of the fermentation tank cannot be too high to prevent the cherry wine from overheating. We can touch the outer wall of the fermentation tank with our hands. If it feels too hot, we need to take measures to reduce the temperature, such as increasing ventilation or spraying water to cool it down. "

The villagers nodded one after another, indicating that they understood this method.

Just as Jiang Xue and the villagers were sitting together, talking excitedly, suddenly, a group of children rushed in, their faces full of excitement and curiosity. They seemed to have discovered something new and couldn't wait to share it with everyone.

"Miss Jiang, someone is looking for you at the entrance of the village." One of the bolder children stood up, his voice full of childishness and eagerness.

Jiang Xue was stunned and asked in confusion, "Who is it?" She wondered in her heart, who would come to see her at this time?

"I don't know," the child continued, "but there are a lot of ox carts following behind. Go and have a look. There are many big vats on the ox carts!"

Jiang Xue was even more confused after hearing this. She had just gone to the kiln yesterday to tell it that she wanted to burn a large vat. How could it be completed so quickly? Moreover, there was also an ox cart? What on earth was going on?

Full of doubts, Jiang Xue stood up and decided to go to the village entrance to see for herself. She said goodbye to the villagers and walked quickly towards the village entrance.

From a distance, Jiang Xue saw a team of ox carts slowly approaching, loaded with large vats. However, when the ox carts got closer, she realized that the leader was not a worker from the kiln factory, but a gorgeously decorated horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage stopped gracefully in front of Jiang Xue. The first person to get off was Jiang Wanrou's personal maid Bier, followed by Jiang Wanrou who also jumped lightly off the carriage.

Jiang Xue was stunned. She remembered that Jiang Wanrou had gone to visit the terraced fields before. How come she suddenly appeared here?

"Rou'er? Why are you here?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise.

Jiang Wanrou couldn't wait to explain, "Xue'er, I heard yesterday that you were planning to make wine, but it seems that you haven't prepared the wine jars yet. So I took the initiative and asked someone to help purchase some. Look, it has been delivered now."

Jiang Xue was even more surprised. "You were not with us yesterday. How did you know this news?"

Jiang Wanrou smiled and replied: "My grandma told me."

Jiang Xue suddenly realized that it was Jiang Chen who told Jiang Wanrou the news. She couldn't help but feel deeply moved. She didn't expect Jiang Wanrou to be so considerate of her.

"Thank you, Rouer." Jiang Xue said sincerely.

Jiang Wanrou shook her head gently, "Just let me taste the wine you brew when the time comes."

After saying that, she took Jiang Xue's hand affectionately.

Recalling the scene when Jiang Wanrou visited the day before, she bought a lot of good things, including exquisite jewelry, which dazzled Jiang Chen and Jiang Wang.

Although they tried to persuade Jiang Wanrou to stay for a few more days, she insisted on visiting the teachers' dormitories.

Yesterday, I heard that she went to the terraced fields again. I didn't expect that she was secretly preparing these for Jiang Xue. This deep friendship made Jiang Xue cherish it even more.

"Where should these large vats be sent?" Jiang Wanrou asked. She looked around, as if looking for a suitable place to put them.

Jiang Xue came back to her senses and pointed to a shed outside a newly built factory not far away. "Just send it to the shed over there. I have already asked someone to prepare it."

Jiang Wanrou nodded, and then signaled to the drivers to transport the vats to the designated shed. The drivers responded and began to unload the vats and carefully carry them to the shed.

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Wanrou, her heart filled with gratitude, "Rou'er, thank you so much this time. Without your help, I might have to worry about these big vats for several days."

Jiang Wanrou smiled gently, "Xue'er, you are too polite. Since we are friends, we should help each other."

"Okay, I'll take you to the Fruit Garden. The cherries there that have recently ripened are delicious." Jiang Xue suggested enthusiastically.

Jiang Wanrou's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she responded happily: "Okay!"

Walking into the orchard, lush cherry trees came into view, with red cherries hanging from the branches, making people salivate. There were already many villagers in the orchard busy picking cherries, and when they saw Jiang Xue and Jiang Wanrou, they all stopped what they were doing and greeted them.

"Miss Jiang is here! Who is this beautiful girl?" an uncle who was returning from the fields driving a bullock cart loaded with cherries asked curiously.

"Hello uncle, this is my friend Jiang Wanrou. She came to the village specially to play." Jiang Xue introduced with a smile.

"Oh, welcome, welcome!" the uncle welcomed warmly.

The two continued walking forward, and from time to time villagers stopped to greet Jiang Xue.
