Happy peasant girl

Chapter 258 Fruit Wine Jam (1)
"Really?" None of the three patriarchs expected things to go so smoothly.

"That's right, just send someone to come in two days!" Lin Yuanshan said.

Not long after, groups of people often gathered around the waterwheel in Linjia Village. They all heard that the waterwheel, a miraculous thing that can draw water automatically, came to the village. Tell them all, anyone who wants to learn can.

The carpenters from several nearby villages came, and Lin Qingmu and Lin Zhongguo became waterwheel teachers, and they were busy teaching these people how to build a waterwheel every day.

Ding Xiaoru's family was also taken over by Lin Qingxi. Not only did her father and two elder brothers learn to build waterwheels from Lin Zhongguo and Lin Qinghe, even her mother's illness was cured by Jing Xiu. Help in the kitchen of Nayuan.

"Why did you tell me about the method of the waterwheel?" Xin Moyang found Linqingxi in Xiyuan and asked.

"You came all the way here just to ask me this question?" Lin Qingxi gave Xin Moyang a strange look, didn't he just stay in the ancestral house recently?
"Not far!" The distance between the ancestral house and Xiyuan seemed very close to Xin Moyang, and it would be really far away in a few days. He was going to Wu State, and he heard that there was a problem in Wu State's palace.

Lin Qingxi smiled helplessly, and said: "Isn't it strange that some things that are obvious should be hidden? The waterwheel is standing by the river, maybe someone stole it and took it back for research. In this case, it is better to put The method has been announced, and no one cares about it anymore." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Are you afraid that others will trouble you?" Xin Moyang asked.

"Well, I'm afraid!" Lin Qingxi looked at Xin Moyang pitifully on purpose.

"Linqingxi, don't be afraid, I will protect you!" After Xin Moyang finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

"Xin Moyang, don't leave me with a shadow of your back every time you finish speaking, okay? Also, I don't need your protection, I can protect myself!" In the last sentence, Lin Qingxi turned to Xin Moyang coldly with both hands trumpeting. shouted from behind.

For some reason, Xin Moyang had a smile on his face when he heard Lin Qingxi's angry and slightly angry voice behind him. He promised that next time he finished talking with her, he would not just give her a back view.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the roses are in full bloom, half a month has passed in May, and Linqingxi has become a little anxious.After entering May, she has been staying in the secret garden, declaring to the public that she is in Yunzhou Fucheng.

"Girl, don't worry, the harvest of these grapes and watermelons must be better than last year."

In the past two years, Lin Qingxi secretly let them plant the seeds brought from the capital in the secret garden. Now there are enough seeds, and they can start planting not only in the secret garden but also in the Xi garden.

"What I'm worried about isn't the harvest!" Lin Qingxi said to Mu Jin, "I'm worried about food, grapes are good, I'm already making wine, but watermelon can't be used to make soy beans, it's too wasteful. "

In the past two years, some of the special pickles that Mu Wenyi, Yu Wei, and Lin Qingyun sold were made by Lin Qingxi, some of which she added watermelon juice.

"Girl, why don't you take out this watermelon for everyone to eat, the old man and the others haven't eaten it yet!" Mu Jin always feels that such a good thing has been eaten by himself as a servant, but Linyuan Mountain and the others haven't eaten it yet. , feel sorry.

"It's not that I don't want them to eat it. As soon as the watermelon came out of the secret garden, I don't know how many people came here after smelling it. Originally, not many seeds were actually planted successfully. Just a few watermelons will definitely not be able to divide. This year, three acres were planted. , I have to keep all these seeds.” There are five farms outside, and Linqingxi doesn’t plan to sell all the watermelons.

"Then why don't we take out all the watermelon seeds and sell the watermelon flesh?" Zongzhu suggested.

"Watermelon pulp is easy to deteriorate, and there is no such thing as selling it. The wild fruits in the mountains are also ripe. I can't let them rot in the ground like in previous years. I must find a way to make these Summer fruits can be used to the fullest." Lin Qingxi said walking up and down in place.

"Why don't they all be made into wine?" After Palm came to the secret garden, he discovered that Linqingxi had stored a lot of things here. Although the fruit wines were not high in alcohol content, they were also very tasty. Linqingxi let them all taste the taste .

"No, no, it's all brewed into wine, and not everyone likes to drink fruit wine. However, many people like jam, but now that the weather is getting hotter, jam may not be stored for a long time."

Just because the fruit cannot be stored for a long time, Linqingxi was worried when he saw the wild fruits all over the mountains. If it was later, they would either be spoiled by wild animals, or they would fall to the ground and rot.

"Girl, let's try both first. If you like to drink a lot of fruit wine, then make more fruit wine. If you like to eat a lot of jam, let's make more jam. As for watermelon, if you want seeds, you can make more fruit wine." Let our family eat it, and then let them keep the seeds, I believe no one will hide them privately, even if they hide them, they don’t know how to plant them.” Brown Festival said loudly.

"Okay, let's try everything first!"

Linqingxi couldn't think of a better way for a while, and besides, he couldn't do anything in a hurry, so he picked the fruit first.

On the night when she came out of the secret garden, Lin Qingxi went to the backyard of Nayuan, and asked Qiangwei, who was in charge of Nayuan, to help her call everyone out of the house.

The female workers and female apprentices in Nayuan didn't know what happened, they all ran out slowly and nervously, and even lined up in the yard automatically.

"You don't need to be so nervous. I didn't intend to come so late, but I disturbed you." Lin Qingxi found that his temper was also a little anxious now, and he wanted to do it immediately when he thought of something.

"Girl, is there anything urgent?" The courageous female worker asked with a smile.

They treat Lin Qingxi with respect and kindness, and they all think that a girl like her who is only 12 years old is very remarkable.

"Actually, it's not an urgent matter. I just want to ask you if anyone in your family knows how to weave baskets, willow baskets, etc., or carpentry, even if you have a lot of strength. If so, you can ask for a day off tomorrow and go back home." My family, tell your family, I am willing to hire them, and I want to ask them to help me go up the mountain to pick some fruits and make some wooden barrels." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

"Girl, my father knows how to weave back baskets and bamboo baskets, his craftsmanship is very good." He Xueer said first.

"Then you go home tomorrow and ask your father to come over. I will discuss the wages at that time." Lin Qingxi said.

"Girl, isn't it just picking fruit? How many baskets can I use? I'll ask my dad to make up some more and send them to you." He Xueer said with a loud laugh.

"I'm afraid it won't work, haha! I need more baskets, and I'm in a hurry, so I need more workers who weave baskets." Lin Qingxi also said with a smile.
