Exile Transformation [Farming]

After the foundation is laid, there is nothing for the villagers to do. All that is left is to invite a professional mason to build the house.

After all, this is still an era of inheritance, and some crafts are hidden. If you are not a serious apprentice, you will not teach you at all; there are even unscrupulous masters who accept nominal apprentices and let you do errands. , but the money I get a month is not as much as the boy, and sometimes I have to give the master various gifts.

Masons are still quite popular in this era, and they are basically inherited from the family. For example, there are some richer families in every village. The way to reflect wealth in this era is to buy land, then buy cattle, and build green bricks It's a big tile house.

For example, the fourth uncle’s house built three large brick houses built in the last two years, and the village head’s house also destroyed three houses. Shen Feng’s calligraphy house built five large brick houses before, and it’s still there after so many years. live.

The bricklayers had negotiated before, and roughly set the date, so as not to bump into other construction schedules when they hired people when they were available.

That master is the old master in the town, with two apprentices and his three sons under him, a total of six people.Their wages are not calculated on a daily basis, but on the basis of the number of blue bricks, two bricks cost a penny, and the house will be erected and tiled after the house is built, but Mu Jing has to pay for food and housing.

This is a small problem, Mu Jing's house is actually quite spacious, even if they don't live there for a long time, it's a bit dilapidated, but they can still live in it.Eating is even easier. When the Shen family comes to cook, the master will eat whatever they eat. Anyway, the meals for twenty people are already cooked, so are you afraid of six more people?

"Hey, your sorghum rice has been stored for almost twelve days, and you still haven't got any wine?" Mrs. Shen circled around the jar of sorghum rice, unable to stop at all.

"Let me see." Shen Yu lifted the lid of a jar, and a strong smell of wine rushed into his nostrils.

Shen Yu doesn't like drinking very much, he shook his head, "It's done, it smells so strong."

"Is it possible to steam it with that strange thing?"

"Well, it's ok." Shen Yu went to look at the other jars, which also had a strong smell of alcohol.

"This is amazing, we can also make wine in the future." Mrs. Shen was very happy, and she did not let go of the stall.

"Mother, it's all right, help me carry that still out, it has to find a place to put it, it's quite delicate." Shen Yu looked at Old Lady Shen with a smile.

"well."

When I left the hut, I happened to meet Mrs. Shen Liu and Mrs. Shen Song, "Mother, why are you so happy? Tell us about it too! I'm happy too."

"It's just in time for you to come, come and help carry the things, and you will know later."

Shen Yu can't remember the distillation process, but it's roughly the same. Put the fermented sorghum rice in, put the lids on, and then turn on the fire.

Thinking that this is the first time to use this distiller, even though it has been washed, Shen Yu still poured out the first half bowl of wine, and then used porcelain bottles and jars to receive the wine.

Mrs. Shen Liu and several sisters-in-law also came to watch the excitement. When they saw the transparent liquid slowly flowing into the jar, they all asked in amazement, "Is this wine?"

"Yes, sisters-in-law, do you want to try?"

"Farewell, what kind of wine do women drink?" Shen Song waved his hand.

Shen Jiangshi was a little moved, "Little brother, why is this wine so translucent, it doesn't seem like the color I've seen before?"

After being reminded by Shen Jiangshi, other people also reacted. Indeed, the wine bought in the wine shop seems to be a bit cloudy yellow, not so transparent.

Shen Yu explained, "This one has a higher degree, and you can get drunk after a little drinking. It's better than that. Sister-in-laws can try it."

"Then I'll try."

Chen Jiangshi went to get a bowl, took some, took a sip, and thought about it carefully, "Well, indeed, this one is very fragrant."

The fourth child will leave in two days. He is preparing something and just came back from the town when he smelled an intoxicating aroma of wine. Come in, "What are you doing?"

"Are you back?" Chen Jiang asked, and then said, "Little brother is brewing wine, smell it, does it smell good?"

Although Shen Lao Si didn't have much knowledge, he knew whether things were good or bad. At that time, he stared at Shen Yu for a long time like watching a monster, "Old Five, why do you know how to make wine?"

Mrs. Shen slapped him on the back, "You have the leisure to run around here, have you packed your things?"

"No, I bought it just now, and it hasn't been divided yet."

"Not going yet?"

The fermented sorghum rice was all emptied, and it was already most of the afternoon, and there were only thirty catties of sorghum, and only the three catties of wine jars and three jars were produced.There was even a jar that was not full, which was less than nine catties.

Mrs. Shen's smile never stopped, "Hey, the cheapest wine on the street costs more than 20 yuan a catty. This time it can be sold for two hundred copper coins, and it only costs one hundred to buy sorghum. Son, this wine Make more money!"

Shen Yu has long been deeply aware that since ancient times, tobacco and alcohol have been profitable industries.

"Come and pack it up. I'll pick the twist seeds tomorrow, and then I'll buy some goji berries and red dates for soaking. The taste is unmistakable." Shen Yu put away the wine.

Mrs. Shen looked at the pile of trash again and worried, "Then what should I do with this pile?"

"It can be fed to livestock, and it is not poisonous. It can be taken and used in the feed every day."

"It's still useful!"

When old man Shen returned home, he could only smell a faint smell of alcohol. He remembered what his wife said, slapped his hands fiercely, and then ran towards the backyard.

The smell of wine in the backyard was even stronger, but there was no one there, only a few large vats drying on the stone slabs.

"Mom, I saw that Dad seems to be running towards the backyard, why are you in such a panic?"

Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen have been husband and wife for so many years, and she knew why, "Have you smelled wine recently? I guess I went to see the wine."

Shen Liushi smiled, "I'm going to be disappointed, let's not talk about the wine, even the wine lees have been cleaned up by my siblings."

Sure enough, after a while, old man Shen came in depressed, and the first thing he saw was the wine jar on the table, "Is this wine?"

He removed the plug from the top cover, and a strong smell of wine rushed into his nostrils, "It's really fragrant, that's what it smells like."

"Have you tasted it? It's the same taste." Mrs. Shen gave him a blank look.

"Hey, I just drank it once when I went there. It tastes better than ours, and it's more exciting!" Old man Shen smelled the fragrance, and remembered the days when we were at the border together.

Mrs. Shen also remembered the bitter days of those years, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't say anything for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Mrs. Shen stood up, "Father, do you want to taste it? I'll get it for you. A bowl?"

Old man Shen nodded, "OK."

Shen Yu also came in, and when he saw his father drinking, he said, "Father, what do you mean by just drinking? I'll get you peanuts."

"Do you have peanuts?" Then old man Shen shook his head again, "I won't drink it anymore, don't give me such a good wine for two days!"

Shen Yu felt that Old Man Shen was bragging. This jar of wine was nearly three catties, which is nearly five catties in modern times. Although it was not full, there was four catties.Four catties of high-strength liquor, even if given to an old alcoholic, would have to drink it for five or six days.

Mrs. Shen has come back from her thoughts, no matter how difficult it was before?Isn't this all right?Now there are several grandchildren, and her son can also earn money. She never thought about this kind of life before.

He asked the children in the family to go to the mountains to pick twigs, and he took the wine jar to the town to find shopkeeper Hu. Of course, it was definitely not a five-jin jar, but a one-jin porcelain jar that he bought specially.

Shopkeeper Hu was cleaned up by his own wife, and he has been a little tired these days.Seeing Shen Yu, shopkeeper Hu didn't raise much interest, and glanced at the jar in Shen Yu's hand, "Brother Shen, what are you talking about?"

Shen Yu put the wine jar on the counter, pulled off the lid, "I'll show you a treasure."

Shopkeeper Hu looked at the wine jar, "What treasure..."

Before he finished speaking, he smelled an extremely mellow wine aroma. It's not that he has never seen the smell of good wine, but this smell is different from the previous ones, and it is very strong when he smells it.

"Lin Zi, marry a wine glass."

Lin Zi is the boy in the store. When Shen Yu sent Shen Erzhu here for the first time, he even gave them sugar cakes.

The wine glasses in the restaurant are all specially made, white ceramic wine glasses that are a circle bigger than your thumb, and the wine is poured into it as if there is nothing in it.

Shopkeeper Hu took a breath, then carefully picked up the wine glass, telling himself in his heart: The most important thing about wine is the taste.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, a pungent taste came out, and it was as strong as he had guessed before!

What did he immediately think of? "Is this wine from the north? And it's made from sorghum."

In fact, shopkeeper Hu was not so sure. He had drunk sorghum wine before, but it was not as mellow, nor as clear, and even a little cloudy.

Shen Yu looked at shopkeeper Hu and gave a thumbs up, "The shopkeeper is amazing, you can guess all of this, but it doesn't come from the north."

"Impossible." Shopkeeper Hu said firmly.

"Tell me, where do I get contacts from the north to get wine?"

Shopkeeper Hu subconsciously almost said that it was the one who got it, but stopped talking, thinking it was impossible.

"Could it be that you brewed it?" Shopkeeper Hu's tone was full of suspicion.

Shen Yu grinned and grinned, "Shopkeeper Hu is smart."

The corners of Shopkeeper Hu’s mouth twitched, but the shock in his heart was about to break through the sky. What was going on in the mind of the fifth son of the Shen family? He used to grow mushrooms, and because of the rarity of this dish, he showed his face for a while; He made a lot of money by producing the mushroom sauce; the toothpaste after that, although he didn’t control it, he heard that it was selling very well; now he is actually told that Shen Lao Wu can still make wine?

This old fifth member of the Shen family didn't leave the gate, nor did he go out twice. Where did he come up with so many strange things?

Suspicion in my heart is suspicion, but I still have to win over people, they have a lot of contacts with the Shen family, and they will take the lead when new things come out in the future?

With this idea in mind, shopkeeper Hu was even more enthusiastic, and pulled Shen Yu to the box, "Brother Shen! This is not the first time we have cooperated. This time you cut straight to the point and said, do you want to be a partner or a seller?"

"Sell the recipe!"
