Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 141 Making Wine Koji
After Xie Fanxing handed over the account book, Fanchen came from outside with a backpack on her back. When she saw Xie Fanxing, she rushed to her elder sister and said, "Elder sister, I will pick all the things you explained, elder sister , what are you going to do with these herbs?"

Today, her eldest sister suddenly asked her to pick herbs such as spicy Polygonum, osmanthus leaves, orange leaves, lentil leaves, bamboo leaves, Tianbian grass, etc. These herbs have different functions and indications, and they don’t look like prescriptions. strange.

"It's useful, you won't guess it anyway. You wash and chop all these herbs for me first, and I'll use them later." After Xie Fanxing explained to Fanchen, she went directly to the warehouse to fetch some barley and peas, Chop one by one according to the proportion, after mixing evenly, take its fine powder.

The herbs washed by Fanchen were also mixed according to a certain ratio, and after drying a little water, they were also chopped one by one.

Then add all the chopped things to the water and mix well, then pour it on a wooden board.

There are small spaces left on the wooden board. This wooden board is the mold that Xie Fanxing asked Fan Yang to make.

After pouring all the materials into the mold, she compacted them one by one until they were smooth and full.

Xie Fanxing then put the finished bent embryos into a sealed wooden box.

In the wooden box, she added some red-hot charcoal into it, and then closed it, the temperature inside the wooden box will gradually rise, and mold spots will appear on the surface of the koji after a day, as long as the temperature inside the wooden box is controlled halfway, this is the process of making distiller's yeast. The first few steps are done.

"Eldest sister, what are you making?" Fanchen, who was on the side, helped her elder sister complete this series and survived. She was really curious about what her elder sister was doing with these things.

"I'm making distiller's yeast, I don't know if it will work or not?" Xie Fanxing was confused.

Because there is no mother song, if you want to make wine song, it all depends on luck.

However, Xie Fanxing thought about it in a blink of an eye, he was lucky enough to be on a wave of traversal, and if he made distiller's koji, it must be no problem.

If he can't make this wine song himself, then Xie Fanxing can be sure that he is definitely not the heroine, but the supporting actress.

"Sister, you mean, the medicinal materials you asked me to pick just now are the raw materials for making distiller's yeast, and the process of making it just now is the process of making distiller's yeast.

Sister, you really want to make wine. "Xie Fanchen asked in surprise when he heard it.

In Xie Fanchen's memory, wine making is an extremely difficult task.

"I have an idea to make wine, but it all depends on whether our distiller's yeast can be made. If it is made, then wine making is a sure thing. If it can't be made into distiller's yeast, wine making will be useless."

"Elder sister, you are the best." Xie Fanchen heard her elder sister say so simply, she held back the words for a while.

"Let's make distiller's koji, don't tell Fanyue and Fanyang about making wine, we don't know if it will be successful yet, lest they have nothing but joy." Xie Fanxing warned.

"I know the eldest sister."

This time Xie Fanxing experimented with making wine koji, and after success, Xie Fanxing planned to make sweet potato wine in batches.

The brewed sweet potato wine is full-bodied and mellow, pleasant to the mouth, gentle and moist, not rushing, not hurting the liver and spleen, and can nourish the temperature, strengthen the kidney and strengthen the yin.

The most important thing is that sweet potatoes are only three renminbi a catty, which is extremely cheap. The yield of sweet potatoes is high, and the wine produced is very profitable. Even if the wine brewing fails in the early stage, the loss is not big.

For the next period of time, Xie Fanxing kept guarding the wine song.

After the koji grew mold, it was almost done. Xie Fanxing began to air the mold. After airing the mold, he closed it again, set up a damp fire, dried it, raised the koji, and air-dried it.

It took Xie Fanxing half a month, and it was already February before she finished making these wine koji.

.

"Uncle, sit down quickly, are you here today to inquire about the situation of Haomai Mountain?" Xie Zhong asked Village Chief Liu as he sat down.

"That's right, if you buy a mountain, the price is 20 taels of silver a mile, how much you buy depends on your own.

If you buy a mountain, you only have 50 years of inheritance rights and cannot pass it on from generation to generation. After 50 years, the imperial court will take it back. If you want to continue to buy this mountain, you can continue to sign documents.

During the 50-year inheritance rights, all the things produced in the mountain belong to your family, and no one is allowed to interfere and steal the things you bought from the mountain without permission.

As for renting the mountain, you can rent it for ten taels of silver for one year, but you have to sign a lease, and it takes ten years to sign the lease. "Cunchang Liu said slowly after drinking a cup of tea.

"Thank you so much Uncle, our family will discuss it and see if we will buy or rent the mountain, and we will have to trouble Uncle to walk around for us in the future." Xie Zhong said very gratefully.

He also knew that their village was extremely far from town to town, and the village chief spent a lot of time, energy, and effort on helping their family inquire about these things.

After Village Chief Liu left, Xie Zhong brought a piece of bacon that weighed seven or eight catties to Village Chief Liu to take home.

Xie Zhong also knew that if he wanted the horse to run far, he had to feed the horse well.

After Xie Zhongjian inquired about buying and renting mountains, Xie Zhong found Xie Fanxing and Cao Tielin and talked about it.

"Uncle, uncle, what do you think of this matter?" Xie Fanxing asked her uncle and uncle.

"I estimate that the mountain is about ten miles in size, and if you buy it, it will cost about three hundred taels, and you can have 50 years of possession.

If you rent it, it costs 30 taels a year, and 300 taels if you rent for 20 years. There is a gap of [-] years in between. Naturally, it is more appropriate to buy a mountain. "Cao Tielin thought for a while.

"I also think it's a good deal to buy a mountain, but it's just that." Xie Zhong fell silent when he thought of spending so much money all at once.

Last year, their family got a lot of money for selling bricks. If they took out nearly a hundred taels of silver at once, their family really couldn't get it back. Xie Zhong reckoned that their family probably only had six or seventy taels of silver.

"It's just that you don't have so much money! Even if uncle and your family have a small share, you will have to spend more than [-] taels of silver at once, and your uncle's family will have to spend nearly a hundred taels of silver.

Let's wait for the rapeseed to be harvested first, and after the oil is squeezed and sold this wave of rapeseed oil, let's discuss whether to buy or rent a mountain. "

"That's the only way to go." Xie Zhong said with a sigh.

"Uncle, if you want to make money, the only thing you can do now is to publicize that we can make money by selling bricks, and if you introduce people to our family to buy green bricks, we will give commissions to those who introduce it. This is a win-win situation.

Uncle, let your sister-in-law's family and sister-in-law give us a lot of publicity, and uncle, your sister-in-law's family also let them publicize it for us.

This matter is said too much, and if three people become tigers, some people will believe it. " Xie Fanxing said to her uncle and uncle.
