Farmhouse strong man

Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu filled both baskets with grapes, and there was still a large piece of grapes that had not been picked, so they had to carry the two baskets of grapes back, and then came back to pick grapes, going back and forth three times until dark. A slice of grapes is all picked.

After picking the grapes, the two of them were exhausted. They washed them with cold water several times without cooling down their fever. They rested for a long time, and they didn't start busy washing the grapes until it was completely dark.

If it weren't for picking so many grapes, and Yuan Liuzhen wanted to drink wine, after what happened this morning, Yuan Liuzhen would definitely not spend the night with Tao Fu tonight.

Yuan Liuzhen was afraid that if he went back today and went up the mountain five days later, that piece of ripe grapes would be gone due to rain or other reasons, so he was worried about letting Tao Fu pick the grapes himself to make wine.He had no choice but to decide to spend the night at Tao Fu's place today, and return to Murakami early tomorrow morning.

They picked six baskets of grapes, the grapes were huge, and it took half an hour just to clean them. The two took turns going to a small river more than 100 meters away to fetch water and come back to clean the grapes.

After cleaning the grapes, they found a lot of wooden boards and laid them on the ground, and then spread two layers of white cloth on the ground, and spread the washed grapes on the cloth to dry.

Wine can only be made if there is no water on the grapes, and it takes a lot of time to dry the grapes.It happened to be windy and moony tonight. They took advantage of the time to dry the grapes and ate something. Then they used branches as swords for a competition. The competition was so enjoyable that Yuan Liuzhen suddenly said to Tao Fu: "Fu, do you want to learn Tai Chi?" fist?"

Tao Fu had never heard of this kind of boxing, but he still nodded and said, "Learn."

"I'll teach you, and you can follow me to practice. Tai Chi, the movements are very slow, but in many cases it can overcome rigidity with softness. The most important thing is to practice several times a day to strengthen your body."

After Yuan Liuzhen finished speaking, he demonstrated it in front of Tao Fu. After Tao Fu saw it, his eyes became straight. This set of boxing skills was different from his murderous swordsmanship. The flexibility of this set of boxing made him feel that this set of boxing is beautiful. Every pause makes people unable to feel what the next move is. It is because of this that he can hit the opponent unexpectedly.

At this time, he discovered why Yuan Liuzhen could always avoid his aggressive swordsmanship. Yuan Liuzhen's inadvertent movements seemed to be interspersed with some moves of this boxing technique.He also thought of Yuan Liuzhen's saying that this boxing method can strengthen the body and use softness to overcome rigidity, and he felt even more enthusiastic.

After practicing a set of boxing techniques, Yuan Liuzhen began to demonstrate to Tao Fu one by one in slow motion, and Tao Fu learned from Yuan Liuzhen one by one.

When Yuan Liuzhen was talking about every movement, he could recall the key points that his university martial arts teacher paid attention to when talking about this step. He naturally told Tao Fu, which made Tao Fu understand better.

Because Tao Fu has some foundation in swordsmanship, it is not difficult to learn Taijiquan, and there are almost no wrong moves after practicing a set of boxing.

Yuan Liuzhen took Tao Fu to practice five times before stopping to rest, and let Tao Fu practice by himself.

Tao Fu has a very good memory, and he has basically mastered a set of boxing. As long as he practices frequently, he will definitely be able to practice better.

After practicing boxing, the two sat on the wooden pier to rest.

Yuan Liuzhen washed her face with clean water after her breath stabilized.Today, when I practiced sword and boxing in Tao Fu's clothes, my body was a little tense, which was not particularly comfortable.

However, he has worn all the robes, so he can't say that he will return Tao Fu after washing. He can only think about buying a set of robes for Tao Fu when he goes to town next time.

After resting, Yuan Liuzhen looked at the grapes and found that all the water on the grapes had dried up, so she said to Tao Fu: "Now we are starting to make fruit wine. Actually making fruit wine is very simple, but many people don't know that this kind of fruit can It's just brewing."

In order to demonstrate the winemaking process to Tao Fu, Yuan Liuzhen only filled a wooden basin with grapes for demonstration.He asked Tao Fu to find the clean jars usually used for pickling vegetables, and asked Tao Fu to bring all the sugar.

When Tao Fu brought over the clean pot and sugar, Yuan Liuzhen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tao Fu to bring so much sugar, which could be used to make wine.

"Why does Fu have so much sugar?" Yuan Liuzhen asked curiously.

Tao Fu said embarrassingly: "The last time I went to the neighboring town, I saw that white sugar was very cheap, so I bought some more. Anyway, it is not bad, so it can be used to make some pastries. Occasionally, I would like to eat some sweets. , I also need to make some sweets to send to people I know, and recently I need sugar to make horseradish and crispy rice.”

After hearing this, Yuan Liuzhen had to sigh, sometimes it is really a very good habit to store things, maybe one day I will meet them.

"Then I started to make fruit wine. In fact, the method is very simple. It is to put a layer of fruit in this clean and waterless jar, sprinkle a layer of sugar, then put another layer of fruit, and then sprinkle a layer of sugar, and so on until the jar Fill it up." Yuan Liuzhen said as he put the fruit into the jar, and it didn't take long for the jar to be full.

After the jar was full, Yuan Liuzhen found a white cloth to cover the mouth of the jar, wrapped the mouth of the jar with a rope, and then covered the lid of the jar, then found soil and water, and completely sealed the mouth of the jar with the reconciled mud. .

After sealing the mouth of the jar, Yuan Liuzhen clapped his hands and said, "That's all right. This kind of fruit wine can be added with koji or not. It's too late to make koji now, so I have to do it next time. The jar sealed like this, Find a cool place, dig a hole, and bury the jar in it. It can be dug out after a month of storage, and the residue inside can be cleaned, and the remaining fruit wine can be drunk.”

"I don't have to dig a pit, I have a cellar dedicated to storing food."

Yuan Liuzhen was surprised when he heard this, he had been to Tao Fu's place several times, and he didn't see any cellars.

Knowing that Yuan Liuzhen was surprised, Tao Fu said, "The cellar is not here, it's not far from here. I'll take you there."

After Tao Fu finished speaking, he picked up Yuan Liuzhen's sealed jar and walked towards the back of the thatched cottage, Yuan Liuzhen immediately followed.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, they walked for more than 20 meters and came to a high slope with dense trees and overgrown with weeds. Tao Fu walked around the high slope and went down from the side, and Yuan Liuzhen followed.

They walked to the front of the high slope, and Tao Fu pushed aside the grass, and what he saw was a deep cave, which could accommodate two people. After entering the cave, Yuan Liuzhen found that the cave was very dry, and there were some firewood in it. , there is also a very narrow bamboo bed and some simple furniture that can sleep people.

Only then did Yuan Liuzhen realize that this was probably where Tao Fu lived when it rained or snowed.

The two entered the cave, and Tao Fu found a kerosene lamp on the wall. After lighting the kerosene lamp with a torch, he led Yuan Liuzhen forward.

Walking to the end of the cave, Yuan Liuzhen saw a place covered by a wooden plank. Tao Fu squatted down and put the pot aside, took off the stone pressing the wooden plank, lifted the wooden plank, and Yuan Liuzhen saw a dark place. cellar.

Tao Fu handed the kerosene lamp to Yuan Liuzhen and said, "Help me hold it. I'll go down first. After a while, you pass me the jar and lamp."

"Yes." Yuan Liuzhen took the kerosene lamp, and Tao Fu jumped down easily. After Tao Fu jumped down, Yuan Liuzhen realized that the height of the cellar was not high, only about one meter deep. He handed the kerosene lamp and jar to Tao Fu , Tao Fu walked into the cellar with a lamp in one hand and a pot in the other.

From the light of the kerosene lamp, Yuan Liuzhen knew that the cellar was not deep.Not long after, Tao Fu came out with two Chinese cabbages in his arms.

Tao Fu handed the kerosene lamp to Yuan Liuzhen, put the cabbage aside and jumped up.

"Bring two cabbages, you can eat them in two days. Now let's go over there and continue brewing." After Tao Fu finished speaking, he rebuilt the cellar, took two cabbages, and Yuan Liuzhen took a kerosene lamp to show the two of them the way. .

The two returned to the thatched hut. Tao Fu put down the cabbage, washed his hands, and after wiping them clean, he found a lot of clean jars and began to put grapes and sugar into the jars.

Tao Fu was very fast, and it didn't take long to fill all the seven clean jars he took out, and then sealed the mouth of the jars according to Yuan Liuzhen's method.

After sealing the jars, they went back and forth several times and finally put all the jars into the cellar.

After making the fruit wine, there were still a lot of grapes left. Yuan Liuzhen was going to make dried fruit, so she said to Tao Fu: "Let's make dried fruit for the rest of the fruit. You can keep it for yourself. To make dried fruit, you need to cut the fruit into pieces. One by one, it may take a lot of time."

"It's okay, it's not yet midnight."

"Then let's cut it quickly."

Fortunately, Tao Fu has two pairs of scissors here, one has been used and the other is spare.

The two of them began to cut the grapes with a pair of scissors. When the grapes were finished, they were both a little tired. It was the first time for Yuan Liuzhen to come to this world for being so busy today.

Put the cut grapes on a white cloth, and put them in the sun tomorrow.

After finishing everything, the two of them cleaned up briefly, Yuan Liuzhen fell on the bed, Tao Fu lay on the wooden board on the ground, and they both fell asleep after a while.

It was the first time in this world that Yuan Liuzhen slept so late, so he couldn't get up naturally.

When Tao Fu called Yuan Liuzhen, he had already prepared the meal. After Yuan Liuzhen got up and washed, he went directly to eat in front of the wooden pier outside the thatched cottage.

While eating, Yuan Liuzhen was a little thankful. Fortunately, he had no dreams last night, otherwise he would have to experience the same embarrassment as yesterday.

Tao Fu's dishes today are fried cabbage and bamboo shoots, and the rice is rice.

The cabbage is fried very tasty, and the bamboo shoots are fresh and crispy, and the taste is particularly good.He ate two more bowls of rice.

He found that as long as the rice was cooked by Tao Fu, there seemed to be nothing unpalatable, and everything was delicious. Ordinary cabbage could be fried to the level of a five-star chef.
