Nongmen sisters and brothers are not simple

Chapter 239 Winemaking
"Second cousin, your family separated yesterday. Uncle doesn't want to live with your grandpa, grandma, uncle and second uncle. They plan to build a new house. Your family is busy building a house now.

Since the tavern is closed and there is no need for work, you don't need your help here, so you took advantage of the empty carriage and pulled a carriage of blue bricks home. "

"My family is separated?" Cao Ming asked in surprise.

His grandfather and grandma are still there, so the family separated, which made Cao Ming feel unbelievable.

He hadn't been home for only a month, and such a big thing happened at home, so he missed something.

"Your family is well separated." Qian said with a meaningful glance at Cao Ming.

Now the eldest sister-in-law can share so much money with them every month, and they don't get all the money they share back home, they have to hand over [-]% to the elder sister-in-law's mother-in-law.

If the family is separated, the money their family earns will belong to them in the future, and no one can take it away. Separating the family is naturally the best way out.

At that time, the money earned will cost a lot of money whether it is saved, or purchased land, or married to soldiers and Naruko with a good wife.Manage money by yourself, spend it however you want, and feel at ease.

"Okay, I'll go home after installing the blue bricks." Cao Ming reacted, pulling the carriage and walking towards the brick factory.

After Cao Ming left, Xie Fanxing planned to take her aunt and Fanyu to the mountains to pick a wave of grapes, and then teach them how to make wine.

At this time, Fanyue, Fanchen, and Fanri each came back with a basket of grapes.

Xie Fanxing saw that although the grapes they picked were not big, the grapes they picked were all red and purple.

After tasting it, I didn't expect these grapes to look small, but they were very sweet.

Seeing this, Xie Fanxing stopped picking grapes at all. She took her aunt, Fanyu, Fanyue and Fanchen to start wine making.

"Fanxing, these grapes can really be used to make wine. Is the procedure the same as before?" Qian followed Xie Fanxing to the backyard of their house. Seeing that Fanxing picked out the bad ones from the grapes Fanyue and the others picked, she asked for help. road.

"Naturally, it is possible to make wine, but the steps are completely different from those used to make wine with sweet potatoes.

The miscellaneous book I read said that compared with other wines, the wine made from these grapes is not only fragrant, but also has a mellow taste. Besides being delicious, it can also beautify the skin?
It's just that it's not as strong as the wine made from sweet potatoes, but it's very suitable for our girls to drink. "Xie Fanxing said to her aunt while busy.

"It's fine if you can make money and sell it. How is this wine made? Let's start quickly. Fanxing, please teach me and Fanyu." Qian urged Xie Fanxing impatiently.

"Auntie, there is no rush to make this wine. We have to take our time and work slowly. Let's peel off the grapes one by one, and throw away the bad ones.

After that, the peeled grapes are cleaned, and then the water on the grapes is wiped dry. As Xie Fanxing spoke, she kept peeling off the grapes with her hands.

Put it in a large tub beside you.

Baskets of grapes were peeled off, and when they finished peeling the grapes that Fanyue and the others had picked, Aunt Qian and the others also picked baskets of grapes one after another.

After drinking water and resting for a while, they continued to go up the mountain to pick grapes with baskets on their backs.

Xie Fanxing and the others then dealt with the grapes picked by Aunt Qian's family and the others.

I don't know how long it took, Xie Fanxing saw them pick out grapes from six large wooden basins and three wooden barrels.

Seeing this, Xie Fanxing stopped picking the grapes, washed them, dried them with a cloth towel, and put them aside to dry.

After the preparations were completed, Xie Fanxing asked Qian to bring a few large wine jars, wash them and dry them for later use.

After drying the grapes, Xie Fanxing squeezed them with his hands to separate the pulp from the skin, and immediately a sweet smell of grapes came.

After kneading, put it into a jar, pour in the sugar, put a layer of grapes, and put a layer of sugar on top without stirring.

"That's how the wine is made." Seeing Fanxing put the crushed grapes mixed with sugar into the wine jar, and when it was [-]% full, and seeing her seal the wine jar, Qian said somewhat illusoryly.

It feels like making wine is like playing house.

Picking, washing, crushing, filling the altar and stuffing it with sugar is over, which is too simple and easy.

It saves time and effort compared to brewing sweet potato wine.

"Auntie's brewing of wine is of course more than that simple. This is just the initial brewing, just like our pickles, it takes a certain amount of time.

In the first few days, you need to loosen the lid to let the air in, and then leave it alone. After half a month to a month or so, take out the floating grape skins, filter them with a cloth, and drink them. .

The book also said that if you want the wine to be more mellow, we need to brew it for a longer time and open it for a longer period of time.

I will take you through the steps of wine making in the future. After going through it, you will know it in your heart.

In the future, if you buy grapes directly in the town, you can make wine yourself in the town. "Xie Fanxing explained with a smile.

Afterwards, as the Wu family continued to pick grapes and transport them down, Xie Fanxing and the others immediately picked, washed, and crushed the grapes, and began to brew the wine.

To Xie Fanxing's surprise, in this morning, they had preliminarily brewed [-] catties of wine.

According to the ten-to-one ratio of sugar, the fifty catties of sugar that Xie Fanxing asked her uncle to buy was not enough for them to use for a day.

Of course, [-] catties of wine was made from grapes, but the wine produced is naturally not as good as [-] catties of wine.

The wine yield rate of using grape wine is about [-]% to [-]%.

Calculated according to 60.00%, 180 catties of wine can also be produced.

"Are there so many grapes behind our Shangou Village? We picked [-] catties of grapes in just one morning." Xie Fanxing asked strangely.

"The mountain behind our Shangou Village is large, and it is the first day to pick grapes on the mountain, so the speed of picking grapes will be faster, and the quantity will naturally be larger.

After a few days of picking, the speed and quantity of grape picking will naturally slow down.

However, in my opinion, the grapes produced by those wild vines in the back mountains are probably enough for our family to produce several thousand catties of wine. "Qian made the final calculation, and said after pondering for a while.

"That's a lot, then my uncle Rang will go to the town again in the afternoon and ask him to buy several hundred catties of sugar for later use." Xie Fanxing said with a bit of a tongue when he heard it.

"In the afternoon, I went to the town to buy sugar. By the way, I will urge Yunxianglou and the grain store to send sweet potatoes to our family to make wine as soon as possible. Let your uncle focus on building houses and burning bricks."

"Also."
