Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Shi Yan grabbed Xia Yue's hand and pulled him towards her.

Xia Yue stood up, walked towards Shi Yan, and was hugged by Shi Yan.

"What's the matter?" Xia Yue saw that Fu Lang buried his face in his waist, and couldn't help but feel very loving. He put his palm on his head, stroked it gently, and asked him.

"Master," Shiyan's voice came out, "I hurt my foot, I'm sorry."

Xia Yue was very puzzled, why did the injured person apologize to himself?

He coaxed for a while, then Shiyan raised her head, looked at him and continued: "I know that my husband doesn't like me getting sick and hurting, and doesn't take care of my body. I still got hurt today while pregnant. I was too careless. sorry."

After listening to Shi Yan's words in a daze, Xia Yue wanted to laugh, but also felt sad.It seems that on the night of the storm, I really scared Shiyan, and this psychological shadow has been left for so long.

He bent down, kissed Fulang on the forehead, and said to Fulang with a smile: "Fool Shiyan, do you think I will be angry and scold you?"

Shiyan hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"What a fool," Xia Yue repeated, "You just remember that I scolded you on the night of the storm, right? At that time, you ran to catch the rain by yourself, and if you didn't listen to tell you to go back, of course I would be angry. That It's called not cherishing yourself. But you didn't hurt yourself on purpose this time, right? Today was an accident, why would I scold you for an accident? It's not enough to worry about it. "

"But, I have worried many people, and even frightened my father-in-law." Shi Yan lowered her head, looking very guilty.

Xia Yue sat behind Shiyan, hugged him, and put his hands on his round belly.

"Don't talk about daddy, I was scared. Fortunately, I didn't fall to the ground." After a pause, Xia Yue touched his belly and asked, "The baby didn't bother you? Are you really not uncomfortable?"

Shiyan shook her head, her hair brushed against Xia Yue's chin, and he couldn't help but kiss Fulang's temple.

"It's fine, it's just that this sprained ankle will take many days to heal. Before the injury is healed, you can't walk around, will it be boring?"

Xia Yue thought, the mood of a pregnant woman is uncertain. Although his family Shiyan has not changed much, except for easy tears, there is no sign of irritability, but that may be because Shiyan has something to do all the time. .If he was bored in the room all day long, he was afraid that Shiyan would think wildly and make his mood worse.

Although he didn't understand her husband's worries, Shi Yan still knew that her husband was caring about her. He leaned his head back against Xia Yue's shoulder, rubbed against it, and said, "It's okay, I'll just read a book in the room, Mr. Don't worry too much."

That being said, how could Xia Yue not be concerned, he was very concerned.

So, starting the next day, he even went home to eat lunch.The brewing started early this year, and the busiest time has passed in Zangli. Most of the wine has entered the final brewing period. It is only necessary to check the temperature and fermentation status and stir the mash regularly every day.Xia Yue's Yunqi has been moved to the brewing vat, Liutian has successfully ended, and Xi Jiuzui is about to go out of business. All kinds of things have come to an end, and he can concentrate on taking care of his husband.

It's no wonder that he is overly worried, Shi Yan has a body now, even if he stays in the room and doesn't go out, there will always be times when he has to walk around, not to mention washing and eating, going to the toilet is not a small problem.Xia Yue was afraid that the little attendant would not be strong enough to support Shiyan, not to mention falling, even if he was bumped, he would feel distressed to death.

It was too embarrassing for Shiyan to be helped by her husband to go to the toilet.But no matter how angry and ashamed he protested, Xia Yue didn't let go. Shi Yan, who knew her husband's temperament well, could only blushing and obediently be supported.

Xia Yue took care of people meticulously and thoughtfully. Apart from embarrassment, Shi Yan didn't even feel any inconvenience in life after spraining her ankle.But in the end, I still feel sorry for my husband. Not only was he tired, he went back and forth between the house and the wine store several times a day in order to take care of himself. This injury stopped the intercourse between the husband and wife again.He always felt somewhat indebted to his husband.

Xia Yue himself didn't care about it, although he didn't want to, but Shiyan was about to be unable to have intercourse, and he had consciously reduced intercourse, but now it's just a little earlier, if you don't do it, don't do it.

Their child was already in the fifth month, and he was very lively, stretching his fists and feet in his father's belly from time to time.Dr. Shen said that Shiyan's body was originally in good condition, and now that she is being raised well, the child grows up smoothly and will be born in about seven months.Thinking that he would be a father in two months, Xia Yue was so excited that he was nervous, and he didn't dare to let Shiyan have any accidents.

On the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, as soon as Xia Yue went out, he felt something was wrong.

Obviously it only snowed yesterday, and there was a thick layer on the ground. Now that I stepped out of the room, I actually felt a little warm.

He looked up at the sky, it was a light blue, with few clouds in sight, the sun was hanging in the sky, not dazzling, like a very light primrose color, lazily emitting light and heat.

Xia Yue was worried that he couldn't grasp it, and he couldn't figure out what it was for. He heard some movement in the room, probably Shiyan got up, so he stopped thinking and went into the room.

Dress Shi Yan well, carry him to the table to watch him finish washing, and then while Shi Yan combed his hair, Xia Yue called the little attendant to bring in breakfast.

While drinking the medicinal porridge, Shi Yan suddenly said, "Why do you feel a little hot?"

"Hot? There's no heating going on outside, probably because the heat hasn't dissipated yet, why don't I open the window?"

After Xia Yue said that, he got up and went to prop up the window.He himself didn't feel hot, but felt warm. However, Shiyan was pregnant and had a relatively high body temperature. He probably felt that the temperature in the room where there was still residual heat was too high.

However, this is also the case in the morning, and Shiyan didn't feel too hot for the past two days, Xia Yue meditated while eating the morning.

It seems that today is really warmer.

Originally, Xia Yue didn't have to go to Tibet in the morning, but when it was half past the hour and it was approaching the time of Si, he couldn't sit still, because even he began to feel a little hot.He was wearing a thick fleece robe, and he didn't wear a cloak in the room, so he already felt as if he was going to sweat.

This temperature is not normal, if it continues to be so warm, it may be even warmer at noon.

"I'll go to the wine store." Xia Yue stood up, took off his outer robe, and changed into the light and thick clothes he wore when he went to the store.

Shiyan held a small snack to make tooth offerings, and saw her husband suddenly said that she was going out, so she asked him, "What's wrong?"

"It's too warm today, I'm worried that it will be even warmer by noon," Xia Yue replied without looking back, while changing clothes, "Winemaking needs to be done at a low temperature, there may be problems with the weather, I have to go to the wine cellar to check the situation, and maybe we need to deal with it urgently one time."

He changed his clothes, put the thick black cloak on his arm, turned around and kissed his husband: "I asked the servant to come in to accompany you, please sit down obediently and don't move around. After noon I haven't If you come back, you can eat first."

Shiyan knew that wine storage was important, so she nodded obediently, kissed her husband back, and said, "Go quickly, don't worry about me."

Luoyue's wine is fermented at low temperature. In the south, the winemaking barrels are double-layered, and ice cubes need to be placed on the outer layer to cool the wine mash.The temperature in Yincheng is low in winter, so there is no need to use ice to cool the wine.But today it is extremely warm, and the temperature of the wine mash is afraid that it will rise, which will easily cause deterioration and lead to rancid brewing.

After Xia Yue left Yun's house, he ran all the way to the wine storehouse. When he entered the storehouse, he happened to see Master Du frowning in the courtyard looking up at the sky.

"Father!" Xia Yue ran to Master Du, and said without waiting to catch his breath, "It's too warm."

Master Du understood why he came here in a hurry, so naturally he didn't ask why, so he just nodded and said, "Yes, it won't work like this."

"I took people to open the ice cellar and transport the ice to the brewery."

There is an ice cellar in the wine storage, and the amount of ice stored is more than double that of Xi Jiuzui, in order to control the temperature of wine making at an ideal state.Today is the first time this brewing season uses ice.

The free Tibetans heard Xia Yue's greeting, and quickly moved into action. First, they ran to get the wooden barrel for steaming rice. Xia Yue and the other two Tibetans went to get the big hammer, opened the ice cellar, put on their big cloaks and entered. go.

The two Tibetans also put on cotton robes and followed in. The ice in the ice cellar was made of large ice bricks, which had to be crushed before being packed into wooden barrels and transported there.The three of them didn't say a word, they found a piece of ice each, and started smashing it when they put it down.A Tibetan came in behind with a wooden barrel in his arms, and filled the barrel with crushed ice cubes, and when it was full, he picked it up and ran to the brewery.

Other Tibetans opened the warehouse, ran to the brewery with straw mats as wide as a person's height, wrapped the straw mats around the wine barrels, and tied them tightly with ropes.This kind of straw mat is very hard, and it will not become soft when exposed to water, so it is not suitable for sleeping, but the Yun Family Wine Store has ordered a large number of them and stored them in the warehouse for backup.

The ice cubes were poured into the upper half of the straw mat, where they were caught by the tight part of the rope and became a makeshift ice trough.

There are more than 20 brewing barrels in the winery, all of which must be surrounded by hard straw mats and poured with ice cubes.The wine cellar suddenly became tense and busy.

"Boss, go to the brewery and have a look. We'll just break the ice bricks." The Tibetan who helped break the ice said to Xia Yue.

In fact, Xia Yue was also thinking about his own Yunqi, so he nodded after hearing this, and gave the mallet and cloak to the Tibetans waiting for ice, and he picked up a bucket of ice and went out of the ice cellar.

Messy footsteps resounded in the wine cellar, but the actions of the Tibetans did not appear to be flustered. Xia Yue found a wine barrel that was not yet filled with ice in the ice trough, and poured the ice on his shoulders into it. .

Then he put down the barrel and looked around.Master Du checked on the other side. There were more than twenty barrels of wine, and one person couldn't read them all. That's why the Tibetans asked him to come over.Xia Yue turned around and wanted to check from this end, but saw a Tibetan continuing to pour ice into the already full ice chute.

"The ice is full," Xia Yue hurried up to stop the other party, "Don't forcefully pour it in, go and add ice to other barrels that are not full."

He picked up the ice cubes that had fallen on the ground and put them back into the wooden barrel. When he looked up, he found that it was a newcomer who was promoted to Tibetan only this year.

"Boss, boss, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

Xia Yue handed back the wooden barrel filled with ice to the obviously confused Tibetan: "There is still wine that needs ice cubes over there, go quickly, don't panic."

The newcomer took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, bowed, took the barrel, and ran towards the direction Xia Yue pointed.

It seems that there are still panicked Tibetans.

Xia Yue exhaled, and began to check the condition of the wine mash in each large wooden barrel.

When the time was about to run out, all the brewing barrels were surrounded by temporary ice troughs, which were filled with ice cubes.Xia Yue and Du Shi inspected all the wine, except for the bucket of water that was just added yesterday, which was a little worrying, there was nothing wrong with the other wines.The fermented mash will produce fermentation heat after being left to add, and today is probably the period when the temperature of this barrel of wine is the highest.

At noon, the sunlight outside became stronger and the temperature rose to the highest.

The ice cubes in some brewing barrels have begun to melt, and the ice water flows down the outer walls of the barrels, and the Tibetans began to add new ice cubes to the ice tanks.

Together with Master Du, Xia Yue has been checking in the brewery.The hottest time of the day has not passed, and no one dares to take it lightly.

When there was not much ice left in the ice cellar, noon finally passed.

Xia Yue and Master Du checked all the wine mash together, judging the situation based on the smell, bubbling, and tasting the wine mash.Fortunately, neither Xia Yue, who is rich in theoretical knowledge, nor Master Du, who is rich in experience, found any problem with any barrel of wine.

Halfway through the hour, the wind blew up in Yincheng.

All the Tibetans stood in the courtyard, feeling the cool wind blowing constantly and the temperature dropped significantly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
