Song Tan Jishi

  Chapter 455 455. Sorghum Brewing

  It rained heavily all day, and Wu Lei just pulled out the clean sofa cover from the washing machine—

  Don’t ask why you do laundry on rainy days, it’s because you’re too tired from work. It finally happened that it was raining, Qiaoqiao Xinjun and Zhang Yanping had frantically arranged the work - scrubbing, cleaning and mopping the floor for a four-piece suit...

  In short, I haven't been free all morning.

   Wu Lei felt so sad.

   "I've already lived in a villa, and I have to do the housework by myself. What kind of villa is this living in..."

   It happened that Xin Jun passed by with a brand-new bed sheet in his arms, and he couldn't help but wondered: "But this villa is not ours, aren't we staying here for free?"

   "Oh," he reacted again: "I am serious about including room and board."

  Wu Lei: …

   He, he is also related to Tan Tan by blood!

  Downstairs, Seventh Cousin was standing on the porch looking at the pattering rain curtain, and now he found a place in the yard: "It just so happens that when it rains, I can save a little effort, and then this place will be easy to scrub."

   "Scrub what?" Song Tan looked curiously.

  On a rainy day, except for my grandfather who insisted on going to his grandfather's place early in the morning to study weaving straw mats, everyone else was idle. It was a rare good time to relax.

  Song Tan wanted to see if he could transform the aura into the water now, so he came out to fiddle with it for a long time, and when he turned around, he saw Seven Cousin saying this.

   Seventh Cousin glanced at her: "Did you forget that sorghum is planted in the two adjacent fields under the peach grove?"

   "It's already July. I went there last night to check that it was ripe, but it was raining and I didn't have time to harvest."

"ah!"

  Song Tan really forgot—after all, sorghum, like corn, is not grown much, and Qiao Qiao planted it with all his heart.

   "If it's ripe, don't harvest it quickly. Will it be soaked when it rains?"

  For example, rice, when it rains when it is harvested, not only can it not be dried, but they will even germinate directly on the stem...

  The seventh cousin shook his head: "[Sorghum carries a gun and is not afraid of water] Have you heard this sentence? This thing is not afraid of water or drought, don't worry."

   "I'm thinking that no one eats sorghum now, and the harvested area will be brewed in the future."

  Oh, I have worked at Song Tan's house for a few months, and I only drink a little wine when I have visitors, and I have lost the fun of life.

   "Huh?" Song Tan was a little hesitant: "Coarse grains, don't you want to try it?" It is said that it has high nutritional content and a sweet taste, and she hasn't eaten it yet.

   Just when Song Sancheng came out to smoke a cigarette, he was shocked when he heard this:

   "What?! Eat sorghum? Don't eat it, don't eat it!"

  He hated it deeply: "It's bitter and astringent, it's hard to swallow, and it hurts your throat... Isn't our rice bad? Do you have to eat that?"

  Song Tan:? ? ? so unpalatable?

   "Forget it!" She shook her head resolutely: "All be brewed!"

   Speaking of alcohol, although Song Sancheng is not addicted to alcohol, he does drink it occasionally.

  At this moment, excitedly, I got together with Seventh Cousin: "What kind of wine is this brewing? Is it the sauce-flavored one or the strong-flavored one? I'm not used to the sauce-flavored one."

  Seventh Cousin was also happy: "Anyway, there is so much sorghum, let's brew it!"

   It's more troublesome.

   asked again: "Do you still have the husks from the rice threshing?"

"Yes, I have!"

  Song Sancheng pointed to the warehouse: "There are a lot."

  The straw was piled up in a haystack on the back hill, and the rice husk was intended to be fed to chickens and ducks, so they were packed in sacks.

   "That's fine." Seventh Cousin pondered for a while:

   "Tan Tan, then you will have to buy a big steamer, still, jars and bottles for wine."

   Otherwise, relying on the big iron pot at home, it would be too troublesome to steam.

  Song Tan quickly took out the phone: "How big is it?"

   Ah this.

   Seventh Cousin hasn’t made wine for many years.

   Now that I mention it at first glance, although he is confident that he has not lost his skills, it is hard to say—

Therefore, he said conservatively: "The steamer doesn't need to be too big, a fifty catty one will do. I estimate that you can have two to three hundred catties of sorghum in your two cents of land, and you can produce almost one hundred catties of wine—you can prepare according to this." .”

  One hundred catties of wine?

  Song Tan couldn't help thinking: "You said if you sell this, how much is a bottle?"

  She doesn't know much about the liquor market.

   Seventh Cousin couldn’t help being speechless—the sorghum hasn’t been harvested yet!

  He had no choice but to snort: "It will take at least a month to know the taste. It's too early for you to worry about the price. Why don't you think about what the soybeans in the chestnut garden will be used for then."

  When the sorghum is harvested, soybeans will probably be next.

  Speaking of soybeans, Song Tan is really looking forward to it:

   "I'll buy a big bean sprout machine first!"

   Stir-fried bean sprouts, bean sprouts in vinegar, stewed bean sprouts with crispy pork!

   Okara, soy milk, tofu flower, water tofu, thousand sheets of tofu!

  Fried soybeans, bean noodles, braised pork trotters with soybeans—

  She stared at the phone, her eyes gradually became frenzied:

   "Do I have to buy another grinding disc..."

   Seventh Cousin: …

  The three major hardships in life, selling tofu with boats and irons, you really can’t think about it.

but…

   "Show me a small grinding disc, the kind that is the size of a palm. I will grind some seasoning granules when the time comes. The ready-made ones I bought are either too fine or too coarse, and the grinder at home is not good enough."

  Song Tan nodded, and finally felt that half a year of hard work was not in vain—not to mention anything else, she could eat more and more at home!

  When the big stone mill comes back, tie Brother Wu Lei to the mill and let him take the time to spin it twice...

  Cough cough cough.

   No way, it’s a relative after all, with Brother Wu Lei’s little strength, pulling the mill purely ruined her soybeans.

   In short, I need to find some kind of grinder!

  She thought about it, and gradually set her sights on the back mountain—

   At this time, Song Sancheng, who quietly finished smoking a cigarette, looked at the vast rain, and suddenly asked:

"After this rain, there is no need to put water in the paddy fields anymore—Tan Tan, how does the seedling look like now? Can it be planted? This month is harvesting sorghum again, and you have to harvest soybeans. I guess your peaches will also grow. It’s almost there, and we still need to plant rice here—there are probably not enough people in our village.”

  Song Tan was stunned: "Are there still so many people who help plant peach trees on the mountain in spring?"

  Song Sancheng waved his hand: "In July, August and September in previous years, they went out to work a lot, so they have to prepare."

  Go to an electronics factory, a toy factory, a shoe factory, etc. in the south during this season. If you meet someone who works a lot of overtime, you can earn five or six thousand a month.

   But if you are older, you will work harder and earn less, but you can still earn three to four thousand yuan.

   Working until the Chinese New Year comes back, among other things, next year’s rice, flour, grain, oil, gifts for favors... will always be enough, right?

  It’s good to stay in my hometown and work, but Song Tan’s work here is day-to-day, so it’s not safe.

  Song Tan: …

   What about the hundreds of acres of hills she has newly contracted!

   Keep people, this wave must keep people!

  Of course, not only do we have to keep this group of middle-aged and elderly people, but this year's Chinese New Year, we really have to do what Xiao Zhu said, and try our best to gather some young people for our hometown!

   Hehehehahaha Fei 10 encountered an Amazon scam today (the other party replaced a reader’s nickname) and was broadcast live by 10 to the group...

   In short, there are many kinds of scams, please be careful. We don’t borrow money, we don’t go to Amazon, we don’t apply for a card, and we don’t ask readers to verify any information…

   In short, everyone be vigilant!
