Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

After the wine was stored in the retort, Xia Yue started to get up early again.

Originally, he was reluctant to wake up his husband, so he quietly got up, dressed and left, and went to the wing to wash up.After a few days like this, Shiyan, who gradually became a little clingy after being pregnant, couldn't help but speak.

"You can only see Xianggong at night, but when you wake up, you won't be able to see him again."

Shi Yan only said this sentence, and his words were flat and without emotion, but this appearance made Xia Yue feel very distressed.

The two were lying under the quilt, Xia Yue hugged him into his arms, gently followed his back, and kissed Fu Lang's eyebrows apologetically.

"I just want you to sleep a little longer, and I can't bear to wake you up." He said to Fu Lang.

Shi Yan shook her head in his arms: "I can continue to sleep, others say it's better to sleep in the cage."

Xia Yue laughed, but couldn't resist Fu Lang's persistent eyes.He thought for a while, and told him again and again: "You must go back to sleep in the cage, you have to get enough sleep."

Seeing that Shiyan nodded obediently, Xia Yue could only nod with a smile.

So starting from the second day, every morning, no matter how early Xia Yue gets up, he will wake up Fulang so that Fulang can see himself, and he will give Fulang a kiss. If Shiyan is in good spirits and wants to get up, Xia Yue will ask Fulang to After getting dressed, the two of them talked intimately for a while before going out to the wine store.

In fact, Xia Yue wakes up too early, sometimes Shi Yan barely opens his eyes, and his considerate husband will coax him to close them again and fall asleep.However, Shiyan felt very satisfied to see her husband in the morning, even if it was just a glance. This would make him feel happy all day long, and he could take care of some housework and wait for nightfall with peace of mind.

The condition of the koji rice is very good. When you open the wrapped cloth, you can smell the soft and sweet fragrance. When you grab a handful, Master Du is very satisfied with the slippery texture that is hard on the outside and soft on the inside.

Rice steaming and koji making are carried out every day. After the koji rice is wrapped and left for a whole day and night, it is spread out again on the koji making table, and the koji rice is carefully kneaded by hand, and then put into the koji lid step by step. This process is called Sheng koji.

Dozens of koji lids are piled up in the koji room and covered with a white cloth. The koji room has to be kept burning as a greenhouse, and the room temperature is as hot as summer.In this environment, the microorganisms in the koji rice will be active.

When the koji caps were piled up, it was already dawn. Since the first barrel of wine had just been brewed, the wine storage was relatively quiet, and Tibetans only started to eat breakfast at this time.

Xia Yue also huddled with everyone in the room next to the brewery, drinking porridge and eating steamed buns.Tibetans all live in Tibet. This two-story house is regarded as a dormitory for Tibetans. They sleep upstairs, and there is a kitchen and a small room in the lobby downstairs. They eat in the lobby and drink in the small room at night.

In fact, Tibetans have gradually become familiar with this young master who is different from the usual impression. There are more and more people in Tibet who don’t speak honorifics to Xia Yue. Xia Yue has really blended in with Tibetans, eating the same food and doing the same work We can play together in normal times, and sometimes Tibetans will forget that this is the young master of the wine store, and just treat him as an ordinary Tibetan.

Xia Yue likes this kind of atmosphere very much, and this kind of getting along makes him feel very comfortable.After he came to Luoyue and became the young master of the Yun family, he never disregarded the etiquette and laughed out loud with anyone.The domestic servants in the house respect him very much, only the servants who follow him are more detached, but in the end it is still a relationship between upper and lower.

Xia Yue himself knows very well that here, it is impossible to do some outrageous words and deeds occasionally like in the previous life.He himself is a person who pays attention to his image. It is not difficult to be an elegant and noble son in Luo Yue, and he does not dislike him, but he still has some impulsiveness in his heart, and he really wants to be wanton and rude for a while.

The Tibetans were very cautious towards him because of his status as a young Tibetan master, but Xia Yue didn't deliberately break this atmosphere.Winemaking is all about speed. Once you start working, whether Tibetans or Xiayue, they all focus on the work at hand. The people next to you are peers. No matter what their backgrounds are, everyone is together for winemaking.In addition, Xia Yue is a fast learner and careful person. After working for a few days in a row, his proficiency can catch up with those who have joined the wine storage for three or four years, and gradually gained the approval of all Tibetans.

After breakfast, the Tibetans chatted for a while, and then went to clean the tools.Near noon, Xia Yue and the Tibetans in charge of making koji entered the koji room again, and changed the stacking position of the koji covers.

In the afternoon, half past Shen time, the position of the koji cover should be adjusted again. This time, the koji rice should be fiddled with, and then piled up again to make the koji rice break down better.

After adjusting the koji cover for the second time, Xia Yue temporarily left the wine cellar and returned to Yun's house to have dinner with Fu Lang.This is what he insisted on, at least one meal a day with Shiyan.At the time of Xu, he returned to the brewery again, and followed the koji master and other Tibetans to adjust the koji cover for the third time. In this way, the first batch of koji production entered the final stage.

At noon the next day, the koji was produced.

The prepared koji rice is taken out of the koji room, and spread out on the koji rack to cool and dry. The koji rack has eight layers, and the koji rice is spread flat on each layer.These koji rice will be used to make glutinous rice.

On the day when the koji is released, the brewer washes [-] kilograms of rice, soaks it overnight, steams it in a retort, and wraps it in cloth.

On this day, Xia Yue returned home in the evening, just in time to meet Shi Yan sending the prefect's young master out.

"Master Yun." Seeing Xia Yue, the young master smiled and saluted.

Xia Yue also smiled back.

The young master didn't exchange many greetings, and after saluting, he said: "Master Yun, you just came back, help Shiyan back to the house. I told him not to send him away, he has to come out."

Shi Yan frowned: "There is no reason not to send the guests out."

"Brother, this is not the past, you are pregnant now." The little boy frowned even higher than Shi Yan.

Xia Yue smiled at the sidelines, he stepped forward and hugged Shi Yan, and then thanked the worried young master: "Thank you Mr. Qi Yu for coming to accompany Shi Yan, I will help him back, please rest assured."

It was the first time for the young master to be called by Master Yun's name. He was startled, then smiled, nodded, and told Shi Yan to come see him when he was free, and then he left.

Watching the guests go out of the gate, Xia Yue helped Shi Yan turn around and walk in.

"No need to help," Shiyan watched helplessly as her husband really supported her hand, "It's only been three months, and she doesn't show her bosom, so why should I be so nervous?"

Xia Yue didn't care, he still supported her, and said as he walked: "You can't hold it without showing your arms, if you don't want to, I'll hug you."

Then he would rather be supported, Shi Yan thought.

Seeing that Fulang was silent, Xia Yue smiled with satisfaction, and said: "Young Master Qi Yu came to accompany you today, isn't it so boring?"

He knew that Shiyan would not be idle all day long. Although there were not many things going on in the house now, Shiyan had already started making clothes for the children, but she was threading needles all day long. Xia Yue was also worried that Shiyan would be bored.He is not at home, and he can feel at ease to have a friend to accompany Shi Yan.

"Well, he came to chat with me all afternoon," Shi Yan nodded with a smile, "By the way, Qi Yu may be getting married in the next year."

"Huh, so fast?" Xia Yue was a little surprised.

In fact, it is not so fast. It has been almost half a year since the magistrate hosted a banquet in June. During this period, it is enough to find someone to introduce a Langguan, get to know each other, and cultivate feelings.It's just that Xia Yue seldom heard about the young master after the summer, and he didn't even know that he had a partner. Now when he first heard that he was going to get married, he felt a little sudden.

"I also think it's a bit fast." Shi Yan tilted his head, "Didn't I meet him very often in summer? It seems that someone introduced him at that time. Mr. Xianggong, he invited us to the wedding banquet."

Xia Yue nodded: "I'm going, let alone you and me, even my father and dad are going."

Even if the other party does not invite, the Yun family will still be going to give gifts. After all, it is the prefect's family who wants to make a promise, and it is the son of Zheng Fulang, so this marriage will naturally be more beautiful.

Shiyan raised her head to look at her husband, and said in distress, "Sir, then what should I prepare for this congratulatory gift? I don't understand these things, what should I do if I embarrass my husband?"

If the other party did not invite, Xia Yue and Shi Yan would be considered to attend with Master Yun and Daddy Yun. As companions, there is no need to prepare a special gift. The Yun family should prepare a big gift, representing a family of four.But since the other party has invited, there will be a post at that time, and the couple will attend alone, so naturally they have to prepare another gift.

This is what Shiyan is worried about. Whether it is the young lady of the Yun family or a friend of Qi Yu, it is only natural to prepare a separate gift, but the congratulatory gift of Huanyi is to be sung. If you don't prepare well, you will not only be sorry for your friends, but will also embarrass the Yun family.Thinking of this, he panicked a little.

However, Xia Yue smiled and didn't reply. He helped Fu Lang turn a corner into the east courtyard, then picked him up and walked into the room quickly.

After entering the room, he put Shiyan on the chair and sat down. He squatted down, tilted his head, and looked up at his husband with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yan couldn't help asking, feeling a little uneasy after seeing him.

The squatting person shook his head, and the smile in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"I just think that the Yun family has a wonderful young lady."

Shi Yan's eyes widened, and his face felt a little hot. He didn't understand why her husband said that suddenly.

Xia Yue didn't explain, but just said to him: "It's up to Shiyan to decide on the congratulatory gift. My Shiyan is so careful and thoughtful, and the gift she prepared will not be worse than others', and she doesn't want to compare who's gift is more valuable. , it doesn’t matter what other people say, the important thing is whether your good friend likes it. If he likes it, that’s a decent gift, isn’t it?”

Her husband's words gave Shiyan a lot of confidence, and he felt less panicked.That's right, there are still more than two months to go, and there is always time to think about it slowly, to come up with the most appropriate gift list, Shi Yan thought, it's a big deal, after drawing up the list, I will show it to my husband.Shiyan was deeply impressed by the gift list that came back home, and he also hoped to prepare a gift for his friends that would make them happy like his husband did.

After coaxing Fulang, Xia Yue asked people to prepare dinner.Tomorrow we will start brewing, which is the most important part of wine making, and he attaches great importance to it.Shi Yan also looked through the wine book and understood her husband's mood, so she had dinner early with her husband, and after the food was digested, they went to bed early to rest together.
