Chongxi husband and wife who are sick

The daily life of Liu Guo's family starts from getting up in the early morning to make skewers. They have to cut the bamboo into thin sticks, then put the prepared vegetables on the skewers, and then put them into the pot for cooking. Specially prepared soup, when the skewers are cooked and delicious, take the skewers and put them aside, and then put the other skewers in to cook. Their business is not bad, and the number of skewers consumed every day is quite a lot, so the score Cook in batches, wait until they are all cooked, and then put them in the pot together, under the action of the soup, the skewers will be more flavorful.

The taste of skewers is good, and the business is good.

After making the skewers, they will go back to rest for a while, and wait until the sun comes out in the morning before getting up to have breakfast. After breakfast, they will do farm work for a while, and then go home and put the table, tableware and chopsticks that need to be prepared for selling skewers on the donkey cart , and then Liu Guo drove the donkey cart into the county to set up a stall to do business.

Then in the middle of the night, when Liu Guo came back with a donkey cart, they cleaned up the pots and pans, and washed the bamboo sticks left by the guests, and the day was considered over.

"Aguo, are you tired?"

"Mom, don't be tired!"

Liu Guo's mother wiped Liu Guo dry with a wet handkerchief, and asked distressedly.Liu Guo smiled. She didn't feel tired at all. If she could make money, she wouldn't be tired doing anything. Now that their cold pot skewers are on the track, they can earn one or two taels of silver every day, which is 30 taels a month. Excluding the cost, They can also earn ten taels of silver every month, which is much more than what they earned in the past year.

The conditions of Liu Guo’s family are not good. There are two younger brothers and one younger sister in the family, and only the father and mother make money. When the father went to the field last year, he had no news and was crushed by the plowshare. He suffered from sequelae and walked with a limp. This year, Liu Guo was worried about his father, so he didn't let him work more.

Originally, he thought that the family might not be able to survive this year, and there was no money for the Chinese New Year, but he never thought that he could do such good things to Feng Heng before. He got a prescription and made a lot of money. I found two taels of silver and came out.

Really, Liu Guo never believed that good people are rewarded with good rewards before, but now he does.

"Mother, where are my brother and father, haven't they come back yet?" Liu Guo asked.

Liu Guoniang said: "Your two younger brothers are working in the fields, and your father followed the villagers to the mountains to look for fruits. Before that, almost all the fruits in the mountains were picked, but now they can't find much."

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't find fruit, anyway, our family already has a profitable business." Liu Guo chuckled.

Liu Guoniang couldn't help but patted him, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about, my mother can definitely make money from the wine in the village. Yesterday, the village chief decided to open a small jar. The fragrance, tsk tsk, mother has never smelled it. However, the village head tasted it and said it tastes good."

Not only is it delicious, but Liu Guoniang couldn't describe how good-looking it was. The village head opened a small jar of green plum wine. The wine was a green color that she had never seen before. It was similar to the rice wine sold in the market, but there was no rice wine. So turbid, but very translucent, just like what other people say is the appearance of the best jade.

nice!

"To tell you the truth, when the village chief said that Si Yun and Feng Heng came up with the wine prescription, mother thought that the wine would definitely make money." Liu Guoniang said with emotion, "I don't know if Si Yun and Feng Heng are How do you do it, why do you have so many recipes to make money in your hand!"

Liu Guo listened, just laughed, and said: "Mother, that is the blessing of the family. It is true that good people are rewarded. I think that Hengzi suffered so much before, just for the sweetness now. Isn't there a word for it? Is that how you say it, first bitterness and then sweetness, that’s how Hengzi and the others are.”

"Yes, son, you are right, that is, bitterness comes first, sweetness comes first, that is their blessing!" Liu Guoniang laughed, then shook her head, and said, "Then the Feng family will not be able to enjoy the blessings of Fengheng and the others, according to Zhaoniang. , that's what it should be!"

But Fan Feng's family shouldn't go too far, if Feng Heng has a recipe to make money, can he not come up with it?I heard that Feng Heng got the prescription when he was out fighting, she felt that Feng Heng still remembered the Feng family, otherwise he would not have returned to the village when he was about to die, maybe if the Feng family had treated Feng Heng better at that time, Now the one who gets rich is the Feng family.

Live it!

Liu Guo just laughed when he heard this, and even asked his mother to go in to boil water. After a while, the two brothers and father came back to wash, but he drank a big bowl of water, and then went to call the two brothers to come back for dinner.

Going out, Liu Guo met many people in the village. After greeting those people, he went to his own field. He found that everyone he met had a smile on his face. It was true that they were happy. It's all normal.

Because the first batch of wine in the village is about to be ready, maybe it can be sold at a very good price.

This matter has to be talked about two months ago. Two months ago, the village chief took out the wine making recipe and said that wine making started in the village.Because there was not enough food in the village, we decided to make fruit wine first. The wine recipe clearly stated how to make fruit wine, and every step was clearly explained. How much sugar, etc., are written clearly and clearly, just like the secret recipe they got at that time, every step is not missing, as long as they can read the characters, they can't make mistakes.

On the first day, the village teamed up to clean up the ancestral hall. On the second morning, the village head gathered more than 60 people from each household and divided them into three batches of more than 20 people in each group. The first batch of people will handle the picked fruits, while the last batch of people will master the brewing process.The three groups of people work together in a division of labor, and they will take turns to do it next time. This can not only ensure that people can rest, but also ensure that the wine-making house does not fall into the hands of others.

In the afternoon, the fruit pickers went up the mountain. The village head asked to pick two kinds of fruits, green plums and apricots. These two kinds of fruits are the most in this season. They make fruit wine, so they will make those two kinds first for the time being.

The fruit was quickly picked. There are many resources in the mountains. The villagers have not been so poor these years, so they did not go to the mountains to find food. The wild fruits inside were not picked and grew lushly, and many of them fell to the ground.The fruits picked that afternoon consisted of several large stalks, which filled a large water tank. They were picked outside and did not go deep into the mountains, which shows how rich the food in the mountains is.

Leaving aside the surprise of the villagers when they saw those things, the second batch of prepared villagers began to wash the fruits after picking them back. In addition to washing the pot, they also had to pick out the bad fruits, which cannot be made into fruit wine. will break.Originally, there were some villagers who thought it was okay if they were a little bit broken, but when they heard the village head say that, they immediately threw the rotten fruit away.

At the same time, the third group of people also prepared.

The third group of people is the most nervous, because this process is the most important.For this reason, the village head had the cheek to invite Si Yun who had brought out the secret recipe, just like they used to cook with the secret recipe, and wanted Si Yun to watch from the side to prevent them from making mistakes.

That was the most important matter in the village, and it was related to whether the villagers could make money. Under the eager eyes of everyone, Si Yun was watching and directing.That night, I couldn't finish the fruit wine. It wasn't until noon the next day that I cleaned up everything in front of me. After that, everyone knew how complicated the process of brewing fruit wine was.

There are about several procedures in brewing fruit wine, the selection of raw materials, cleaning, crushing, juicing, entering the tank, fermentation, measurement, preparation, storage, and bottling. They only did it in the tank that night, and the other steps were done later. But don't look at there are only a few steps ahead, but just those few steps make everyone panting from exhaustion.

I won’t talk about the cleaning part. The fruit should not leave any dust. The people washed the fruit, and in the end they washed it cleaner than they washed it by themselves. They washed it five or six times, and cleaned it three or four times. The water in the well was one bucket. The first group of villagers who picked the fruit helped to fetch water. When they arrived at the broken place, because the more broken the fruit, the more juice it could produce. They put the fruit into a stone jar and pounded it like making rice cakes. , smashed into fine pieces, and then put it into a cloth bag to squeeze out the juice. The process is like making tofu in the village. Some fruits are hard and don’t have much juice. In order to squeeze out the juice, everyone resorted to The energy of breastfeeding.

There are two kinds of fruits picked this time, both of which don’t produce much juice, which made everyone spend a lot of effort. Fortunately, the final result was good. Nearly two buckets of juice came out, and one kind of juice was half a bucket. , very much, if this fruit wine is really made, so much juice can be sold for a lot of money, after all, how much juice can be contained in a wine bottle.

The next step is to put the juice into the clean stone jar. At that time, everyone knew that there should be no water stains in the stone jar. In order to dry the water stains, the villagers almost went crazy, and finally put the juice Putting it into the tank, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, wait for fermentation and others.

Then, everyone realized that it was already dawn outside, and it was the next day.While everyone was surprised, they also sighed in their hearts. It is really hard to make money.

Since then, no one has entered the ancestral hall, except for the village head and Si Yun, because they were afraid that someone would touch the fruit wine. Until today, the village head led the villagers in. After two months, the fruit wine has almost been made. Some things were done in the middle, such as how to look at the fermentation of fruit wine, how well it was fermented, what kind is qualified, and what temperature needs to be controlled, but those villagers don't know, only the village head and Si Yun know .

But the villagers didn't have any objections, because it's good to get money for free, and it's not good to be greedy for wine prescriptions.

Liu Guo was very happy, very happy. Mother said that the fruit wine was very good, so everyone in the village should be able to make money in a short time.By the way, I forgot to mention that more than a month ago, he paid off all the money he owed to the Si family, and now he is saving money. When the new year comes, they will definitely have a good life.

While he was happy, he did not forget about Si Yun and Feng Heng. At this time, Liu Guo was even more grateful to Si Yun and Feng Heng. He was really grateful. Without them, Fengjia Village would still be a mess.

Although Si Yun's temper didn't spread very well outside, Si Yun was really kind, and Feng Heng was also very kind.

After thinking about it, Liu Guo went to his family's field, looked at the two younger brothers who were bending over to work in the field, and shouted loudly on the field ridge: "Second and third, go home for dinner, mother has already cooked the meal. alright!"

The second and third child came out of the field and said with a smile, "Brother, are you back? We'll come out right away."

"Okay, you guys go home later, I have to go to Feng Heng's house." Liu Guo said loudly.

The second and third child laughed out loud after hearing this, "Brother, you should go, they are kind to our family, you should tell them about your marriage, otherwise the new sister-in-law will definitely be unhappy if she finds out."

Liu Guo bent over and pulled a pile of grass from the ground and threw it over, and said with a smile, "You two bastards, how dare you make fun of your brother."

Even though he said that, the smile on his face was bright, and he turned and walked towards Si Yunfengheng's house. With money, he could finally marry a wife, not only he could marry a wife, but also his two younger brothers. The matchmaker who can marry a daughter-in-law said that when the two younger brothers grow up, they will come to help them match.

Apart from telling Si Yun Fengheng that he was going to get married this time, Liu Guo wanted to invite them to their house. After a few months of acquaintance, there was no legitimate reason to invite anyone.

At the same time, he also wanted the two younger brothers to show their faces in front of Si Yun and Feng Heng, so that they could recognize each other.Before, he didn't dare to think that Si Yun and the others didn't dare to take their two younger brothers with them when they invited them to eat hot pot, for fear of being said to be taking advantage of them. Now that their family has money, he has confidence and dares.
