seven relics

Qian Baisui patted Jiangyue and said with a smile: "Little brother, this early morning is really lively!"

Lian Jiangyue also smiled, wiped her feet, put on her shoes, and said, "I'll go look at the wheat."

At this time, Bao Zhimei opened the curtains, and most of them hid behind the curtains, looked out, and waved to Lian Jiangyue.Lian Jiangyue passed by, and Bao Zhimei said to him through the glass window: "Don't listen to the slander, don't hit our old house!" She held on to the collar of her tracksuit tightly, "Don't hit me either! Idea, did you hear that?!"

Lian Jiangyue nodded, discussed with her and Qian Baisui, "Let's clean the stone trough first, and then wash the wheat, the kang bed will not move. I think it may be used to roast malt." The last wheat, can I trouble the old man to clear the chimney? Cut some more firewood?"

Qian Baisui responded and put on his shoes.On the other side, Bao Zhimei knocked on the glass window again, and asked them: "Why are you digging so much well water? Can't it be done when you need water?"

Qianbaisui smiled and said, "The courtyard is a well without water."

"Really? The case has been solved!" Bao Zhimei raised her hand and let go of the curtains. The person disappeared behind the window, and there was a sound of kicking and tapping in the room. Bao Zhimei opened the door with a bang and jumped into the yard , ecstatically, she wrung her fingers and winked at Lian Jiangyue and Qianbaisui: "Then just find a tree without roots, a flower without pistil..."

Lian Jiangyue interrupted her and said, "What can this waterless well be used for?"

Bao Zhimei said: "It may be fermented with it! Think about it, the temperature and humidity are constant underground!"

It made some sense, Lian Jiangyue asked again: "Where is your wine cellar?"

Qian Baisui greeted the two of them and went to the wine shop.Bao Zhimei took Lian Jiangyue around to the back of the kitchen, pointed to the square door on the ground, and said, "It's just below."

She leaned over and opened the door, with an expression of wanting to knock people's bones out: "I was evacuated by Bao Renhui a long time ago! You are a two-ball guy!"

Lian Jiangyue glanced into the cellar, and the sunlight shone in and hit some hard and solid ground.Some dust flies in the beam of light.Lian Jiangyue bent down and squatted down, stretched her hand in to feel it, and said: "It is indeed more humid than the air on the ground, and the temperature is a few degrees higher than the current outdoor temperature. At this time of spring, it should be able to maintain 25-[-] degrees with the door closed."

He said: "Since there is such a place, why use a well?"

Bao Zhimei said: "Are you stupid? Isn't winemaking always fermented twice? Before the altar is closed, it must be fermented once."

Lian Jiangyue said: "The yield rate of wheat and glutinous rice is not high, and I have never been in contact with mixed brewing. It is conservatively estimated at [-] to [-]%. If the amount of wine shop is to be opened, will a well be enough? Too few? Can you find your dad's purchase receipt and the wine store's shipment records at that time?"

Bao Zhimei curled her lips, rubbed the plaster on her hands, straightened her waist, dragged Lian Jiangyue back to the courtyard, and said, "Go wash the stone trough, wash the wheat, and wash the rice. Solving puzzles is not your job." Son!"

There was indeed a lot of work to be done, so Lian Jiangyue went to unpack a bag of wheat marked with the high-quality spring wheat in Min City, grabbed a handful, looked at it, and smelled it.The wheat is small in size, white in skin, hard in shell, thick in skin, and light in fragrance.

He chewed one raw and ate it with the skin on, it was too bitter, and the taste of the grain was not enough when he ate only the kernels.He opened another pack of unpacked Taihu glutinous rice. The smell of glutinous rice is very strong, mixed with wheat, no matter how much it is mixed, the aroma of rice will overwhelm the smell of wheat.He asked Bao Zhimei: "Are you sure you use the wheat produced in Minshi for your home brewing? Are you sure it's made by mixing wheat and glutinous rice?"

Bao Zhimei imitated his appearance and ate a piece of wheat. His facial features were immediately distorted, and he spat out a few mouthfuls, saying: "I can be sure, those old masters said that they were collected from farmers in the city. I checked After a while, for decades in Minshi, the spring wheat has been of this variety, what happened to this wheat?"

Lian Jiangyue shook her head and said, "Maybe it will show some special smell after washing and cooking." He found a towel, slightly wet it with 20-degree water, and went to clean the stone trough.

Bao Zhimei followed him and said: "I thought about it, does the flower without pistil refer to the fig tree? There are no flowers, so there is no pistil? The red moon is the red moon. It is said on the Internet This astronomical phenomenon may be visible before and after a lunar eclipse."

Compared with solving this mindless riddle, Lian Jiangyue considered more practical issues. When he entered the winery, he asked: "Every household used to make wine here, why don't you ask others if they can borrow an old tune?" ?”

Qian Baisui jumped down from the chimney at this time, wiped his dark face with the towel hanging around his neck, and said, "I've checked around in the morning, and either they don't live there, or they quit the wine business a long time ago. gone."

Lian Jiangyue sat by the stone trough, gently wiped the bottom of the stone trough, and said: "The taste of koji can easily penetrate into the wine. I guess there are a lot of Chinese medicine in the little koji used to make wine here. I know a little about Chinese herbal medicine. , and I still remember the taste of some Vientiane wine. The Bao family makes wine here. The raw materials are likely to be found nearby. There is an auspicious mountain nearby. There may be some traditional Chinese medicine on the mountain. Later, I will take a trip with you, old man. Let’s go Gather some medicinal materials back? Want old koji to borrow bacteria...If you can't do it, just buy it online."

Qian Baisui jumped off the kang, pointed to the openings under the big kang bed, and said, "What's so important about firewood? Should it be detailed or extensive?"

Lian Jiangyue said: "Let's start the fire first, so as to heat up the room, you can figure it out."

"What's so special about wood? Any wood will do?"

Lian Jiangyue looked at Bao Zhimei: "Do you remember what kind of firewood was often piled up in the yard of your house?"

Bao Zhimei stared: "I'm not a botanist, how would I know, what kind of firewood do I have to pay attention to?"

Qian Baisui and Lian Jiangyue didn't speak.For some reason, Bao Zhimei felt a little guilty. She, the descendant of the Bao family, really didn't know what to ask, but she always had a good face, so she pointed to a corner of the stone trough and slammed Lian Jiangyue loudly: "You work hard!" Why is it so thick, wipe it carefully, the corners are the easiest to accumulate dust, work hard!"

Lian Jiangyue said: "It's not that I don't work hard, but I'm afraid that wiping too clean will destroy the growth environment that microorganisms are used to."

Bao Zhimei shrank her neck, her eyes became more vacant, bit her lips, and said with her mobile phone: "I'll buy a wine song, a little song, right, I understand, I know!"

The stone trough was also wiped badly, Lian Jiangyue pinched the towel and said, "Let's do this first."

He took a bag of wheat into the toilet and poured half of it into the bathtub.Bao Zhimei walked up and down, seeing that the wheat had entered the water, and immediately said: "You have to change the water two or three times, don't forget!"

Lian Jiangyue waited for the wheat to sink to the bottom, and took a cup to scoop up the floating shells. Bao Zhimei said again: "Can I use a bathtub? I'll ask sister Qiu to bring some more big wooden barrels."

"Then I want some canes."

"What do you want the cane for?"

"Make barrels."

Bao Zhimei sat on the ground and spoke to Sister Qiu. After the voice was finished, she fell silent.Lian Jiangyue looked at her, saw her bowed her head and played the game, Lian Jiangyue turned her head and continued to sift the wheat grains.

After a while, he heard Bao Zhimei say: "I am making money and paying off debts while supervising work."

Lian Jiangyue smiled.Bao Zhimei chatted with him leisurely: "Who are you, your father? Your brother? Your uncle?"

"Don't swear..." Lian Jiangyue said, "It says in the account book that he is my father."

"Ah? It's your dad, it's your dad, and it says in the household registration book? Are you adopted?"

"more or less."

"Is it almost the same if you adopted it? Why are you so confused." Bao Zhimei suddenly exclaimed, "Is it because I am pity, I hate, and I am also demented, and I can't remember things, just remember that I have lost something. You’re in Minshi, so you’re here to find someone who knows him? Could he be looking for that jar of wine?”

"He's dead." Lian Jiangyue said, gently scouring the wheat in the water, planning to change the water.

Bao Zhimei asked softly: "Is that altar of wine considered his relic..."

Lian Jiangyue went outside to find two wooden barrels, brought in several barrels of water, scooped the wheat into the barrels, and said: "He is him, I am me, the wine is for him, he is dead, you Deal with it however you want."

Bao Zhimei moved a place for him, stood and patted her chest, smug: "When our Vientiane wine is brewed, I will give you as much as you want, and we will go to Lao Lian's grave and serve him three altars!"

Lian Jiangyue asked: "Does your brother often go on business trips all over the country?"

"Why did you mention him suddenly?" Bao Zhimei was not too happy.

Lian Jiangyue said again: "Even if there is no letter you mentioned, I will help you, so, let me ask you again, you said that there is a letter from Shangguan Yuzhan to Lianwuhan, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ?”

Bao Zhimei stomped her feet, groaned and breathed out her nostrils, and lowered her head to frantically press her phone: "Who do you think I am! Let's stop chatting nonsense, you are busy with your work, and I am busy with mine!" She was sitting He closed the toilet seat, buried himself in the game, and said, "I'm doing serious business. Let me tell you, this game is very popular now. As long as you take out the ultimate treasure box, my account will be sold for 50. Someone wants it!"

She straightened up a little, opened the window, and yelled into the yard: "Xiaoqiu, where did you hit? What did you get?"

Xiaoqiu didn't answer, Lian Jiangyue looked at him, in the yard, Qianbaisui used the tree stump to split firewood, Xiaoqiu sat on an upside-down plastic bucket, and frantically pressed his phone.

It was busy until noon, Qian Baisui ordered four bowls of plain noodles, and everyone ate together.After the meal, Lian Jiangyue transferred the wheat that had been watered three times into the stone trough, and ran to Jixiang Lake twice with Qianbaisui, fetching some water to submerge the wheat.

Firewood was burned in the winery, and the temperature was higher and drier.After Lian Jiangyue finished her work, she went to rest in the courtyard, and Qian Baisui apologized, saying: "I'm getting old, I must sleep for a while." She went into the house for a nap.

Bao Zhimei also fell asleep after eating.Lian Jiangyue and Xiao Qiu sat close to each other, quiet for a while.He seemed a little sleepy looking at the ball, rubbed his eyelids from time to time, and said, "What kind of game is this? Is it easy to learn? Can someone like me who has never played any games play it?"

Xiao Qiu lowered her head and said, "I'm not stuttering."

His voice was clear and crisp.

Lian Jiangyue looked at his mobile phone screen and said: "I thought that in this kind of game, characters can walk on the map casually."

Xiaoqiu said: "I'm still running the plot, and I can't do it now. It says to go here and go here, otherwise you can go another way, you can't go, you will be pulled back to the main plot." The ball jumped into a cliff, the character died, and reloaded the file, "Look, if you go against its intention, you may die. In the later stage, after you have learned all the skills and cleared the main story, this kind of open map will be You can move around."

Lian Jiangyue stepped on the shadow, propped her chin, and said, "It?"

"It's just a game."

"But, aren't people operating the game?"

"It's people who operate the game characters to play the game according to the game's settings in the game world." Xiao Qiu said, and after finishing speaking, he swallowed and repeated this sentence silently.

Lian Jiangyue smiled and patted him.After a while, the two of them were silent, and Lian Jiangyue was idle, so she took out her mobile phone and downloaded the game Xiaoqiu and Bao Zhimei were playing, created an account, and played the game.

After four o'clock, sister Qiu came to deliver things to them.The Liuhuamu cabinets and tables were unloaded from the car, and Lian Jiangyue was excited about the east model and the west model. This set of wooden furniture uses a traditional mortise and tenon structure with exquisite workmanship. The wood is also high-quality wood, which is dry enough and has clear texture. It is fragrant and pleasant.Together with him, Qian Baisui managed to dismantle them without even a hammer.Sister Qiu was busy washing vegetables and cooking, and went into the kitchen for a while, and when she came to the yard to get things, she was shocked again when she saw the wooden boards all over the yard, and she muttered: "You old and young, Why do you always finish the work quietly?"

Lian Jiangyue and Qian Baisui laughed when they heard that, and Lian Jiangyue quickly calculated the size in her mind. The wood removed could make about two and a half human barrels.He took local materials, found a stone and drew some thin lines on the wooden boards, and asked Qian Baisui to divide the wood according to these thin lines.Qian Baisui also found a stone, sharpened one end slightly on the ground, picked up a wooden board that was originally used as a cabinet door, and traced it lightly along the lines drawn by Lian Jiangyue. The wooden strips that gradually narrowed at both ends fell off from the whole plank.

Lian Jiangyue couldn't help admiring the ingenuity of the old man's hands, Qian Baisui said with a smile: "I used to carve stones and chisel walls, but they are tougher than this wood."

So busy until it was dark, 46 pieces of wood were removed from three pieces of furniture, and Lian Jiangyue left four square wooden boards for the cabinets untouched.Sister Qiu came to call them into the house for dinner, and Lian Jiangyue was anxious to make the wooden barrel, so she took two bites of rice in a hurry and started working again.

It was dark outside, so he went into the wine shop, turned on the lights, and found a place. At this moment, he was alone, so he picked up his phone and sent a video invitation to Feng Xuwei.I haven't seen him for several days, and he has a lot to say to him.

When Feng Xuwei accepted the invitation, Lian Jiangyue was taking out two pieces of firewood from the stove under the kang, put them into a copper basin, and added some scraps cut from the wooden cabinet to make a fire.

Feng Xuwei saw it and asked, "What are you doing? Exorcism?"

The fire was lit, and Lian Jiangyue happily told the stories of Vientiane Winery these days and Feng Xu slightly.

Feng Xuwei was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and saw that Lian Jiangyue took two leather belts to tie the wooden planks together, one with an opening and one in the middle, and then fastened it to the brazier, and picked up the watering plant. Watering can, spray water on wood from time to time, wipe down.He did it with a smile on his face and a good look.Feng Xu smiled: "The alcoholic can be considered to have found a regular job, look at you."

Lian Jiangyue said: "I guess I have to stay here for a while, I will give you the address."

"Write a letter?"

Lian Jiangyue sent the address with a smile, looked at Feng Xuwei, and said, "Let me tell you another happy thing, that day He Xiaoshu, Ma Zun and the others wanted to intercept me..."

He vividly described what happened in the noodle shop that morning, and also told Feng Xuwei about He Xiaoshu's coming to him later.

Feng Xuwei listened but there was no sound.Lian Jiangyue touched the wooden barrel, looked at the phone, and saw Feng Xuwei's expression was dignified, very serious.

"what happened to you?"

Feng Xu said slightly: "I was thinking, the matter between you and the Bian family may be resolved by sitting down and having a good talk. What He Xiaoshu said is correct, so that you will save a lot of trouble when you go out."

Lian Jiangyue didn't take it seriously, turned around and sprinkled water on the barrel, and said, "Whoever dares to trouble me, let him try."

Feng Xu lowered his voice slightly, and said: "You must not rely on your own ability to be too..."

Feng Xuwei was hesitant to speak, Lian Jiangyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, four people beat me up one by one, even if there are more people, I won't be afraid."

Feng Xuwei said: "It's unethical for the four of them to surround you, but when it comes to bullying, why isn't your current mentality relying on your own ability and wanting to do bullying?"

A few sparks flew out from the brazier, and the fire became brighter. The shadow of Lian Jiangyue falling on the ground stretched instantly, and his anger also flew out at this moment. He said without thinking: "When you Wouldn’t it be bullying to take Qu Jiuchuan from Shitou Village to Wenzhou without saying a word?”

Without waiting for Feng Xu to respond, he hung up the phone, grabbed the barrel from the ground, kicked the brazier away, wrapped the belt around the other opening of the radial wooden boards, tightened it suddenly, and kept the barrel straight. The appearance came out.The barrel was blackened by smoke, but it smelled of caramel, accompanied by the aroma of dried flowers.

At this time, Qian Baisui came in from the outside, holding half a bowl of mutton in his hand, and seeing Lian Jiangyue, he said: "See, you didn't eat much just now, eat some more."

Lian Jiangyue took the bowl, and only moved her chopsticks when she sat down. She said in a fit of anger, "Why do you have to join in the fun every time I want to eat?"

Qian Baisui looked at the roof and said with a smile: "This friend on the roof, what's the matter, why not tell me as follows."

The tiles slammed lightly, and a figure fell in front of the winery, and this person came in, it was Ma Zun.Behind him was a big knife with nine rings on his back.
