The Daily Life of the Husband and Wife Selling Dog Food Through Time Traveling

After Shen Xuanqing left, Jiang Ning closed the door, and the autumn wind suddenly picked up outside the window, passing through the hall, lifted the thin page of paper on the desk, rolled in the air, fluttered like a butterfly, and fell into it lightly. In the small pond in front of the window, dots of autumn rain fell without warning, and hit the rice paper, leaving faint ink marks on it, and a few words were faintly visible on it, which could still be vaguely distinguished, Shahe Pass, attack, death and injury. Tragic, Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, fearful, unexpected.

Jiang Ning watched the rice paper fluttering and slowly sinking into the water, his eyes were as calm as the ink marks swimming away, and seemed to have a faint aura of rain coming...

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Ning went to Mr. Zhang's office after arranging the affairs of the restaurant. As soon as he went, Mr. Zhang was naturally happy. He took a pot to make tea. Do you want to drink?"

Jiang Ning looked down at the small white porcelain bowl and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

While pouring tea, Mr. Zhang casually asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Jiang Ning was silent, and Zhang Gong didn't care. After sharing the tea, he said after a while: "It's good to have something in your heart. People who have lived for dozens of years and have nothing in their hearts have already fallen into the loess."

When he said this, he looked at Jiang Ning again, and couldn't help but sighed, "You've been worrying too much recently."

Jiang Ning picked up the tea and drank it slowly in one gulp. Zhang Gong looked at his expression, his eyebrows turned white with worry, and persuaded him: "This is tea, not wine. Wine can relieve worries. How about tea?" untie?"

When he said this, he was worried that Jiang Ning would really drink, so he quickly changed his words: "Forget it, you should drink tea, old man, I don't have anything else here, the tea tube is enough, you can drink it for ten days and half a month without panting , there is no problem."

Hearing what Zhang Gong said, Jiang Ning smiled with the corners of his mouth up, and Zhang Gong looked miserable: "You better stop laughing, the old man looks very sad, at this age, you should be fine, don't torture me. "

Jiang Ning really laughed this time. He put down his tea bowl and said, "Mr. Zhang is worrying too much. Am I the kind of person who only blames others?"

Zhang Gong saw that when he said this, there was a prudent determination in his expression, and then he was relieved, and said earnestly: "Be careful about everything, there will always be a time when all hardships will be rewarded. At my age, I can still think like this, let alone Is it you young people?"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "I'm just waiting for the day when all hardships and hardships will come, and there will always be that day." He reached out to pick up the small pot of tea, poured tea for Zhang Gong, and said in his mouth: "It's me who makes Zhang Gong worry. No, I'll make up for Mr. Zhang."

Seeing that his expression was as usual, Mr. Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Cook another pot, and you cook."

In the afternoon, Jiang Ning went to Yu Nian Winery again. There was no one in the yard, but Chen Nianyin's voice came from the ear room. Jiang Ning walked in and saw Old Man Chen coming out of the room.

When the two met each other, Old Man Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "So you are here." He said, turned around and entered the room again, and said, "It's just right, today's distiller's yeast has been made, come and take a look." look."

Jiang Ning followed him into the house, it was very stuffy inside, and it was hot summer again, the temperature inside the house was at least ten degrees higher than outside, and the tip of his nose was filled with the unique aroma of distiller's yeast.

Seeing him coming in, Chen Nianyin hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, are you here?"

Jiang Ning nodded and said with a smile: "You have worked hard these days."

Chen Nianyin smiled and waved his hands: "It's just a matter of duty."

"How's the wine?"

Chen Nianyin said: "It's too hot here, let's go out and talk about it." He turned his head and advised Old Man Chen again: "Grandpa, you should go out too, it's too hot."

Old Man Chen wiped his sweat, snorted softly, and reluctantly followed Jiang Ning out of the Qufang, the two sat down in the lobby, Jiang Ning took two cups of cold tea, handed it to Old Man Chen and said, "Chen You have worked hard."

Old Man Chen took the tea, drank it all, and then said: "What is this? I used to stay in the Qufang for several days, eating and sleeping all by myself—"

Chen Nianyin was coming out of the door, when he heard this, he quickly responded: "Yes, Grandpa, your sword is still young, and it is better than it used to be, the masters have never done it often, so let my grandson and I do it alone. "

After hearing this, Old Man Chen scolded with a smile: "You can say it."

Chen Nianyin smiled, put the dustpan in his hand on the table, and said to Jiang Ning, "All the distiller's yeast is here, let the shopkeeper take a look."

Jiang Ning carefully looked at the distiller's yeast in the dustpan. They were all flat and long, far from the round shape in his memory. He reached out and picked up one of them, broke off a piece, and crushed it. It rustled and sniffed at the tip of his nose. Jiang Ning put the koji in his hand aside: "This is wrong."

Chen Nianyin and Old Man Chen looked at each other, not knowing what kind of inspection method he was using, and Jiang Ning didn't explain it, after all, the explanation was a bit unbelievable, he had tasted the taste of koji, yes, because the koji was round, white and fat, a little Like a kind of cake, he once picked it up and gnawed it twice when he was young, and even gnawed off his changing teeth. The taste at that time was really unforgettable for him all his life...

After Jiang Ning looked it over, only three distiller's yeasts were left, and the rest were put aside. Chen Nianyin couldn't help but said, "Boss, can't these?"

Jiang Ning shook his head and said, "It doesn't taste right."

Chen Nianyin and Old Man Chen were even more at a loss. Jiang Ning picked up one of the leftovers, broke off a bit, and looked at it. Chewed.

After a while, he threw the piece of wine koji away expressionlessly: "This is wrong."

Chen Nianyin: "..."

"That's not right either." Jiang Ning picked up the cold tea, raised his head and drank it down, then picked up the last piece of koji, and looked at it for a while. The color and smell of this piece of koji were the closest. He suddenly asked: " Chen Gong, is this the one with peas in it?"

Chen Gong took it over and looked at it, nodded and said: "Not bad."

Jiang Ning looked at the off-white piece of wine koji with light yellow, and had a hunch in his heart that this was it. He broke off a small piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, frowning slightly. After a while, he said: "That's it."

The eyes of Chen Nianyin and Old Man Chen lit up immediately, and Chen Nianyin said a little excitedly: "So, we can make wine?"

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "Take the best rice, mix in the koji, seal it up, and let it ferment for ten days, then it's ready."

"Ten days?" Chen Nianyin was taken aback, a little surprised: "Ten days is enough?"

Jiang Ning said: "Ten days will be enough."

Seeing what he said so affirmatively, even though Chen Nianyin and Old Man Chen had doubts in their hearts, they didn't bring it up again. In their opinion, no matter what method they use, it's enough to make good wine.

The ten days, whether it was long or short, finally passed slowly while the three of them waited anxiously. On the morning of the tenth day, Jiang Ning first went to the carpenter's workshop to pick up a custom-made The brewing utensils brought people to Zui Lai Fang.

Chen Nianyin and Old Man Chen were even more anxious than him. When he arrived, they were sitting around a huge pottery urn, bending over and trying to look inside through the gap.

Old Man Chen sniffled, frowned and said, "It doesn't smell like wine."

Chen Nianyin was about to speak, when he turned around and saw Jiang Ning coming in, he quickly shut up and said, "The shopkeeper is here."

Jiang Ning nodded and asked him, "Is there a cauldron?"

Chen Nianyin was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the guy behind him delivering the utensils, and then said: "Yes, yes."

As he spoke, he led the two guys into the house, and watched in a daze as the guys quickly assembled a strangely shaped wooden vat, but he said goodbye and left.

When Jiang Ning entered the room, Chen Nianyin asked in a daze, "Shopkeeper, what is this?"

Jiang Ning smiled and replied, "It's for wine making."

As he spoke, he and Chen Nianyin brought in the millet that had been mixed with koji and fermented. The top cover was lifted, a layer of sackcloth was spread in the middle, and a lot of dry thatch was stuffed underneath, but now the thatch has been covered. The smell of wine made it damp, and the bottom was still a cover, which was tightly sealed.

After the lid was completely opened, a strong smell of alcohol rushed to his face. Jiang Ning turned around to look, took a clean ladle, and said to Chen Nianyin, "Pour all these grains into the big bucket."

Chen Nianyin didn't know what he wanted to do, so he had to do it truthfully. Old man Chen followed, but couldn't find a chance to intervene, and finally set fire to the fire angrily.

After all the grain was put into the vat, Jiang Ning asked Chen Nianyin to fetch a clean sackcloth, soak it, and plug the gaps in the barrel.

Finally, Jiang Ning took a small pottery urn and placed it under a hollow bamboo tube that had been protruded from the barrel.

Chen Nianyin stared at this strange thing suspiciously, and couldn't help asking: "Is this all right?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

The water in the pot boiled quickly, and mist rose up, gradually filling the entire anteroom. The three of them waited quietly, with three pairs of eyes fixed on the small bamboo tube.

Until Chen Nianyin suddenly shouted: "Look, there is water coming out!"

The head of the green bamboo tube was sharpened, and a drop of crystal clear water leaked from the top, and it fell into the pottery urn with a barely audible sound, as if it had landed on the three people's body. on the eardrum.

Old Man Chen immediately leaned over, stared at the water droplets on the bamboo tube for a long time, and then said to Jiang Ning: "Is this what you said, strong wine?"

Jiang Ning nodded with a smile, and said, "If Mr. Chen doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."

At this time, a scent of wine gradually permeated, lingering in the air. Hearing this, old man Chen brought a small wine bowl, took a few drops of wine, tasted it, his brows frowned first, Then slowly loosen, and finally bent up.

"Good wine! It's strong in the mouth and the lingering fragrance lingers," Old Man Chen looked at the clear wine in the wine bowl and couldn't help sighing, "I think it's the first time I drink such wine after decades of brewing. Sorry!"

As he spoke, he didn't know what he thought of, his eye circles gradually turned red, he handed the wine bowl to Chen Nianyin, and said, "Nianyin, come and have a taste too."

Chen Nianyin was waiting for this sentence, took the wine bowl impatiently, took a sip, aftertaste for a long time, and then said: "This wine is so strong." He sighed for a while, and said to Jiang Ning: "I know why the shopkeeper looked at it in the first place. It’s not our family’s wine, if you have tasted this kind of wine, I’m afraid that other wines are difficult to drink.”

Jiang Ning looked at the small green bamboo tube. At this time, the wine had changed from drops of water to a water line, and it fell into the pottery urn, making a crisp sound.

Old Man Chen sighed for a while, and asked Jiang Ning, "What's the name of this wine?"

Jiang Ning came back to his senses, looked at the clear wine, paused for a while, and then replied: "This wine is called Yuanzhi."

"What a good name!" Old Man Chen said in an excited tone, his eyes were fixed on the clear wine, and he couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

Jiang Ning looked thoughtful, and after a while, he said: "This wine is not considered high-quality when it is first brewed. It must be kept for ten days. At that time, it will be considered the best wine."

Old Man Chen nodded again and again, expressing his understanding, Jiang Ning said again: "However, I will take away a pot later."

Hearing this, both of them said that there was no problem. When the drinks were almost out, Chen Nianyin found a fist-sized wine jar, filled it full, and handed it to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning picked it up, and before leaving, he said to the two of them: "Don't mention this wine making method to others for the time being."

Chen Nianyin and the two naturally agreed.

Jiang Ning went to the restaurant with the jar of wine, and happened to meet Shi Tianhua coming out of the restaurant, and the two sides met each other, Shi Tianhua said pleasantly: "I also thought that today was a waste of time."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, raised the wine jar in his hand at him, and said, "Good luck for Rong Min, I happened to bring a jug of wine today."

Shi Tianhua's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly said: "Great, let's find a place to sit down and have a drink!"

The two sat down on the second floor, Jiang Ning lifted the wine jar, and a strong smell of wine came to his face, Shi Tianhua gasped, smelling the strong smell of wine, his eyes lit up : "What kind of wine is this? I have never drunk it."

Jiang Ning smiled and said nothing, the wine jug was poured, and the clear wine gurgled out. After pouring a full glass, he stopped, raised his eyes and said: "You have always been a good drinker, try it first, you can drink this wine A few cups."

Shi Tianhua smiled complacently, picked up the wine glass, sized it up for a moment, was amazed, and couldn't help asking: "I've drank a lot of wine, but I've never seen such a clear wine. How is it made?"

Jiang Ning was still smiling, Shi Tianhua realized something when he saw it, and exclaimed: "Could it be that you made this wine?"

Jiang Ning nodded and motioned: "Try it, this is the first cup."

Shi Tianhua was overjoyed immediately, and happily said: "Then I won't be polite."

As he said, he took a sip from the wine glass, the wine entered his throat and slid down the esophagus, which was so irritating that people almost trembled, and then a strong burning sensation climbed up from his chest all the way, accompanied by strong Strong wine aroma.

Shi Tianhua closed his eyes slightly, savored it carefully for a while, and then opened his eyes, with a surprised expression: "Good wine!"

Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "How is this wine?"

Shi Tianhua was full of praise: "The entrance is strong, the stamina is full, the aroma of the wine is long and lingering, especially its strength, which is more than ten times stronger than ordinary wine! Good wine!"

After he finished praising, he said again: "It's just that the aftertaste is a bit raw, but the flaws are not concealed. What's the name of this wine?"

Jiang Ning replied with a smile: "This wine is called Yuan Zhi."

"Good wine, good name!" Shi Tianhua said, and carefully tasted the rest of the wine in the glass, looking very satisfied, and then said to Jiang Ning: "Is this wine still available for sale?"

Jiang Ning smiled and replied: "Of course there is wine, but I'm afraid it won't be sold right now. If you like it, I'll give you another jar sometime."

Shi Tianhua was immediately overjoyed, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I'll thank you here first."

Jiang Ning smiled: "You're welcome." He said, stretched out his hand to fill Shi Tianhua's wine again, and said in his mouth: "Speaking of which, I still have one thing I want to ask Rong Min for your help."

Hearing this, Shi Tianhua said straightforwardly: "Brother Jiang has something to do, but it's okay to say it, if I can help, just say it."

Jiang Ning took out a letter and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I have a letter here, and I want to ask Rong Min to bring it to Master Zhizhou."

Shi Tianhua slightly raised his eyebrows: "My uncle?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "Not bad."

Shi Tianhua was very surprised, and then he accepted the letter, weighed it in his hand, it was quite heavy, not like an ordinary letter, he hesitated a little, but he still didn't ask.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Ning said calmly: "It's a long story, and you'll know it in a few days." He paused, and then said: "If Rong Min believes me, please bring the letter to me. Master Zhizhou, I am here to thank you first."

Shi Tianhua took a sip of his wine, put the letter away with a smile, and said to Jiang Ning, "Do you need to be so polite between us? Naturally, I believe you. Come on, continue drinking."

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Jiang Ning. While drinking, the two chatted about other topics.

This drinking lasted another afternoon until night fell and the restaurant was closed. Shi Tianhua left the restaurant. With his usual drinking capacity, today he started to walk in a high spirits. After politely rejecting Jiang Ning's proposal, he happily Humming a little tune, I went all the way to the east of the city.

Jiang Ning stood at the door of the Fortune Restaurant, watching Shi Tianhua's moon-white figure gradually disappear into the dark night, his side face looked extraordinarily calm under the dim candlelight of the restaurant.

After a while, a young man came outside, Shen Zhen, who he hadn't seen for a long time, bowed to Jiang Ning, and asked in a low voice: "Master Jiang, the young master sent me to ask, what's the matter? "

Jiang Ning lowered his eyes and replied quietly: "Wait a little longer."

Shen Zhen was a little anxious, and lowered his voice and said quickly: "The young master has been locked up in the ancestral hall, the master is still lying on the bed, and the biggest lady in the mansion right now is the eldest lady, she is very noisy, the young master is not easy to take action, you here how long will it take?"

Jiang Ning looked at him, his eyes flickered slightly in the flickering candlelight, and calmly replied: "At most three days."

Shen Zhen got a clear answer, heaved a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, then I'll go back first."

After he finished speaking, he saluted Jiang Ning again, turned the corner in a hurry, and headed south of the city.

There were crows croaking not far away, which was very clear in the night. Jiang Ning stood at the door for a while, Ding Yu poked his head out and asked curiously, "Why is it so late today for the shopkeeper? The restaurant is about to close."

Jiang Ning responded briefly, and slowly walked away along the street corner. Ding Yu looked at his thin and slender back, and for no reason felt that his back was a bit lonely and desolate in the dark night.

He murmured to himself: "You're dazzled..." Then he creaked and closed the door of the restaurant.

The night wind was blowing, carrying a little heat of summer, blowing on his face, very comfortable, Shi Tianhua half-closed his eyes and walked slowly on the road, after a while, the wind turned cold again, the alcohol dissipated, he His noisy mind also cleared up a lot.

Fortunately, he sobered up in time, he stopped walking, turned to the left, saw his uncle's mansion, walked into the mansion, the concierge hurried over and said, "Master Biao is back. "

Shi Tianhua lazily responded, and asked casually: "Has my uncle returned home today?"

The concierge replied, "I just returned."

Shi Tianhua waved his hand, indicating that he understood, turned around the screen wall, and went straight to the direction of the flower hall.

After walking for so long, his footsteps were still a bit light. After he entered the flower hall, he didn't see anyone, so he turned around and went to the study room. He heard voices coming from the room outside the door.

Shi Tianhua blew the wind at the door for a while, then lifted his sleeves and smelled it, and after confirming that the smell of alcohol was gone, he reached out and knocked on the door.

The voices in the room paused for a while, and a middle-aged man's steady voice came: "Who?"

Shi Tianhua replied: "Uncle, it's me."

"Come in."

Shi Tianhua then pushed the door open and entered, the candlelight next to the writing case flickered slightly, Lin Yiying, the magistrate, was talking to his subordinate officials, and said in his mouth: "The official document of the imperial court has been issued, this matter must be strictly investigated, you send a few people to make an unannounced visit , if you find any problems, just report them one by one.”

The subordinates nodded again and again, Lin Yiying gave orders, turned her head to look, frowned and said to Shi Tianhua: "Going to drink again?"

When Shi Tianhua heard the words, he immediately lifted up his sleeves and sniffed vigorously, making sure that he didn't smell a trace of alcohol, and then said: "Uncle, you lied to me."

Lin Yiying snorted softly, stretched out her hand to lift the teapot on the case, poured tea, and said, "What's wrong with cheating you? If you haven't drunk, why are you guilty?"

He said, pushing the teacup: "Drink some tea to hangover, don't talk to me until the wine sobers up."

After finishing speaking, he talked with his confidant subordinates again, and said with a serious expression: "Either find out this kind of thing now, or never find out. If it is muddled, it will be a mess at that time, but it can't be easy. gone."

Shi Tianhua took a gulp of tea, wiped his mouth, and said to Lin Yiying: "Uncle, I have a letter from you."

As he spoke, he took out Jiang Ning's letter from his pocket, handed it over, and said, "You should take a look first."

Lin Yiying looked at him suspiciously, took the letter, and asked, "Whose letter?"

Shi Tianhua chuckled: "A friend, you can see for yourself."

The author has something to say:

In other words, the author’s family has brewed wine before, and the method is like this. At that time, I thought it was very primitive, and the process was very simple and fun, so I wrote it here. If there are experts in the readers, I hope you don’t mind, =w=
