Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 134 Dian Jujube Wine
On the morning of August [-]th, everyone still went to the river to pick up toads.Today's toads are not as many as before. It should be because the weather is getting colder and colder, and the toads have all gone down the mountain. "Brother, if there are still so few tomorrow, let's get rid of the toads, and there may not be so many in the future."

"Sure, the weather is getting colder and colder. There is a leap in May this year, so the solar terms will be earlier." Da Lang also noticed that today he just picked up two bags and there are many male dogs. "When I gave it to shopkeeper Yue today, tell him that we won't give it away in the future. If you want to eat it, you will have the spring." After finishing speaking, several people went to the place where the fish were hidden, and Dalang took six fish into the water come out. "Tomorrow is the holiday, keep two for us to eat, then send two to my grandma, and send the rest to Erlang's husband."

Xiaosi and Xiaowu carried the bucket containing fish, Xiaosan and Boyuan carried the bag containing toads, while Yuxian, Haoyu, Dalang and the others carried the bucket containing crickets, and they staggered back home .

When they got home, just as Chuntao and the others had put the meal on the table, Fang scrambled to eat.When Yun Song saw the things everyone made, he said, "Don't go into the water in the future. It's getting colder and colder, and the water is too cold. You are all growing up, so don't freeze your bones." The children all nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, it was natural to pick out the toads, put the female ones on, and keep the male ones and send them to the town.Yuxian said to save some for tomorrow. Dalang heard this, so he used a bag, filled a small half of it, and put it in a cool place.Those cricket crickets have also been saved, and I plan to make cricket cricket tofu tomorrow.This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the family separation, and Fang Yun is also coming to celebrate the festival together, so of course everyone cooks more hearty meals.

Save what you want to eat at home, and put the rest in the car.Yuxian asked Yun Song to bring out a jar of Zidian jujube wine, and she was going to send it to Boss Yue for a taste today.Dalang was driving the car, and the children all got into the car. They were going shopping and shopping, and tomorrow was the holiday.Fang Yun rode a horse and went back to town first.Yuxian and the others wobbled towards the town in a bullock cart.The children talked excitedly along the way, and after an hour, they arrived in the town.

Naturally, they went to Juxian Tower first, and Boss Yue was waiting.Recently, the crickets and toads sent by Yuxian and the others are very popular, and many people come here to try these two dishes.As soon as Boss Yue saw the children of Tong's family coming, he hurried up to meet them. "You guys are here. I'm waiting here. Those two items are selling very well. They were gone yesterday afternoon."

"Uncle Yue, today is our last trip to send toads and crickets. It's cold, and we can't catch these things, so we can only wait until next year." Yu Xian also felt that it was a pity. I paid five or six taels of silver.

"Hey, it's a pity, the fire is on sale. There's no way around it. Who will let the weather wait for you? Yuxian, next spring, we should send it here early." Boss Yue said regretfully.Those are all silver, can you not feel bad?
"Uncle Yue, I'll bring you a jar of wine today. You can taste it, and then give me some advice." Yuxian looked at Boss Yue with her big watery eyes.

"Oh, it's your fruit wine. It's great. Now I don't have to worry about it. With this wine, I should be able to deal with those drunkards." Boss Yue's expression changed suddenly. Just smile openly, let Yuxian and the others appreciate the change of face.

Boss Yue ordered the clerk to move all the things in, and gave Yuxian and the others to a single room.The buddy brought the wine bottle, Boss Yue opened the jar, used the bottle bottle to pour a glass of wine, poured it into the jug, then poured it into the cup, and took a sip. "Well, not bad, it's more mellow than last year's. Yuxian, how much of this wine do you have at home?"

Yuxian thought for a while, and this year, she collected five thousand catties of Dian dates, and filled more than 200 jars.After the initial brewing, there are only 150 jars left, and now after fermentation, 120 jars are not bad.I have to keep some for myself and give them to Fang Yun, so the ones that can be sold are about [-] altars. "Uncle Yue, there are probably ninety altars, one altar is twenty catties, that's [-] catties." Yu Xian deliberately said less.

"It's not quite a lot. In this case, I'll take them all. I'll give you one penny for a catty of wine. Do you think it's okay?" Boss Yue couldn't help but smile when he heard that there were so many. Anything that comes as a gift is a good thing.His family also has a grocery store that also sells wine, and his wife's natal family also has a restaurant in the county, so there is no need to worry about selling it.

"Okay, that's it. Let's go back and refill the wine, and then Uncle Yue will have someone go to Yanjiang Village to take it away after the festival. This wine will lose its scale during fermentation, and we have to fill it up one by one." Yuxian heard A penny, a happy heart.When she received it, it cost one penny per catty, and it took less than three catties to brew a catty. Adding sugar and the money for the jar, a catty of wine was worth six or seven pennies.Now a catty can be sold for one renminbi, that is, one hundred wen, which is almost like having no capital.Yuxian couldn't help being a little silly, no wonder it was said that only rich people can drink good wine, it's true.

"Success, I'll send someone to pull it after the festival." Boss Yue smiled happily.It just so happened that the buddy weighed the crickets and toads that were delivered today, and took the money and sent them over at the previous price.

Yuxian took the money and sent less today, so there were more than 800 texts, which happened to be eight strings. "Uncle Yue, let's go first. We are going to pick up my second brother home today, and we need to buy some things to go home." After speaking, the children left Juxianlou, got on the ox cart, and went shopping.

The group first went to a dim sum shop and sold four catties of mooncakes, then thirty eggs and a piece of meat.In addition, the two fish I brought from home are exactly four kinds, so it is already very good to give to my husband as a gift.When he arrived at the entrance of the school, Dalang went in with his things, and after a while, Erlang and Bowen came out.

"Second Brother, Brother Bowen, we're here to pick you up." Yuxian waved her hand and shouted from the two of them.

The two heard Yuxian's shout, and looked up, and saw that all these people had come to pick them up.The two were so happy that they rushed to the car and jumped onto the car. "Why are they all here?"

"I'll pick you up and buy something for the festival. Second brother, what do you want to eat? Eldest brother has money, let's buy it." I haven't seen my second brother for almost ten days, and Yuxian is also very happy. "Brother, let's sell a few more packs of mooncakes, as well as meat, white flour, sugar, and some snacks. I just saw a pear seller, let's buy some and go back and try it. Next year we will also have a few pear trees in our house, and we will have more There are plums, apricots and other trees, so as not to have no fruits to eat." This is what Yuxian is most unaccustomed to, she loves fruits the most, but there are no fruit trees at home.

"Succeed, listen to you, little greedy cat. Next year, big brother will help you dig up the saplings. In a few years, our family will have fruits for you to eat." Dalang brothers are very fond of Yu. Xian's, but whatever request Yuxian has, she will try her best to fulfill it.

According to what Yuxian said just now, the group sold a lot of things and spent nearly two taels of silver.At noon, at the wonton stand, each person got a bowl of wonton. After eating, everyone laughed and walked to Yanjiang Village.When I got home, it was already late afternoon.When Fang saw the children came back, she finally let go of her hanging heart. "Why did you come back so late?"

"Mother, we went shopping, and we sold a lot of things and came back. Also, Uncle Yue said, he wants all our jujube wine, and I will give you a penny a catty." Yuxian couldn't help telling her mother The good news.

When Fang heard this, she was also surprised. "Yuxian, is this fruit wine so valuable? We collected it for a penny and a catty, isn't the money too easy?"

"Mom, what do we sell ginseng for? Gold falls from the sky?" Yuxian couldn't help but laugh, her big eyes were crooked.

"That's right, I forgot about this problem." Fang patted his forehead, but that's right, that ginseng cost more. "Okay, you should be tired after a busy day. Go back and rest, there's nothing else going on at home."

Erlang and Bowen naturally went to the study to find Yuan Qingyun. During the days in the school, they had some experience with some things and went to discuss with Yuan Qingyun.Yuxian ran to look at the two little bears at home. The two little guys were still adapting well in her house. Yuxian asked Chuntao and the others to make rough noodles for the little bears. comprehensive.Bears are omnivores, they can eat anything, and they are easy to feed.These two little things eat well and grow up.

After watching the little bear for a while, Yuxian went back to the house.Fang Shizheng, Chuntao and the others are peeling mustard greens. The mustard greens are good for pickling pickles, and the farmers live by pointing at pickles.Cut off the top of the mustard greens with a knife, and peel off the mustard lumps below to remove the fibrous roots.Then wash it with water, and then take it outside to dry. After two days of drying, pickles can be pickled.The shaved leaves are called mustard stalks by the locals. Wash them and rub them with salt. The pickled vegetables are bright green and are good for stewing.Yuxian saw that this year's mustard greens were growing well, with big bumps, and looking at the tassels, they were also juicy. "Mother, let's tie two bunches of mustard greens and put them in a shady place, and get some dried vegetables. In winter, we can eat small tofu."

"Little tofu? Haven't you seen it?" Fang raised her head and glanced at Yuxian. "You can do it?"

"Hehe, I will say." Yuxian smiled, "Then you just do it."

"You just have a heart to eat." Fang shook her head helplessly.

"Madam, isn't this very good? How about we can make those edibles, like pancakes, which I have never seen before, and they are delicious." Chuntao helped Yuxian.

"By the way, after the festival, you and Junxiang should also prepare for your marriage. Don't do anything else for a while, hurry up and embroider your wedding dress. I'll find materials for you tomorrow, and your dowry should also be prepared. "Ms. Fang has been so busy these days that she has forgotten that there is another one in the family who is going to get married.

"Mother, brother Junxiang is here to give the gift." Xiao Si shouted outside.
