Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 178

Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia naturally didn't know what happened in Cheng Enhou's mansion.

The two were newlyweds, and they often stayed at home to discuss family affairs together.

Whether it's buying servants or placing arrangements, both of them are talking and laughing.It often makes Ruolan and Xiaoman giggle aside.

Jiang Zhixia feels that her current life is no different from her previous life—except that there is one more person who can negotiate with her.

Because Chu Tiankuo had been promoted to a brave general of the third rank, and because the Zhenwei Army was stationed outside the capital, there was nothing to do recently, so his marriage leave lasted for a full month.

Although it took some time to organize the wedding, after getting married, there is still about 20 days of rest.

And because he is married and is a third rank, he can go home every day when there is nothing to do, just like those people who go to the Yamen.

However, because the army is stationed outside the capital, the journey is longer.

However, if the weather is good, the roads are good, and Chu Tiankuo drives fast, he can reach home in about half an hour.

Jiang Zhixia thought of some people who commuted for two or three hours in a big city in his previous life, and thought he was pretty good.

After a few days of busy work at home, it was September [-]th.

Early in the morning, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiaoman to inform the coachman to prepare the car, and she was going to Zhuangzi to see the situation of the wine opening.

In the past few days, Chu Tiankuo has been sticking with Jiang Zhixia every day, so he naturally asked to see it.

Jiang Zhixia also thought that if the wine was ready, it could be consigned in Chu Tiankuo's restaurant, so he agreed.

After the two of them cleaned up, they went to the farm with a general and the maid Ruolan.

After arriving at Zhuangzi, Xing Zhuangtou also thought about what Jiang Zhixia said before, that the seal would be opened in about a month, and estimated that the master's family would come over in a few days, so they all waited in Zhuangzi.

When they arrived in the small courtyard, they took a jar from the first batch of brewed wine and put it on the stone table.

Excited, Jiang Zhixia slowly opened the lid, removed the sealing cloth, and a strong smell of wine mixed with fruity aromas wafted out.

Jiang Zhixia looked over and saw only floating peels and seeds, but no moldy spots or the like.

Half of her heart was relieved.

Jiang Zhixia put the coarse cloth that had been boiled in hot water and dried long ago on the mouth of a delicate porcelain jar.

She pressed the edge of the coarse cloth with a wooden frame, and asked Chu Tiankuo to slowly pour the wine jar into the porcelain jar.

After filtering in this way, she asked Chu Tiankuo to pour the wine from the porcelain jar into the white porcelain wine glass that Xing Zhuangtou had brought over earlier.

The purple wine swayed on the wall of the white wine glass.Jiang Zhixia picked up a cup and took a sip.

A slightly sweet and slightly astringent taste of wine immediately filled the entire mouth.After drinking, there is a sweet and fragrant feeling.

Jiang Zhixia let out a sigh of relief—it was done.

"Try it all." Jiang Zhixia said with a smile.

Chu Tiankuo picked up a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and immediately coughed again and again from choking.

"Brother Chu, why is he so careless when drinking?" Jiang Zhixia quickly patted him on the back a few times.

"I thought this was a sweet fruit drink, but I didn't expect it to taste quite strong?"

Chu Tiankuo said with some embarrassment.

He is naturally not interested in sweet and sour fruit drinks.However, this was made by Zhixia himself, so of course he wanted to join in.

It's just that I didn't expect that this fruit drink is not only not sour or greasy, but also has a mellow wine taste.Compared with the wine brewed in the wine shop outside, it is not so good.

"This is wine. Of course it has the smell of wine." Jiang Zhixia said with a smile.

Nowadays, the drinks in the Dali Dynasty are all brewed from grain, but the skills are not very exquisite.Therefore, most of the drinks are not high in alcohol.The taste of this wine is even better than ordinary wine.

"Is this single made of fruit?" Chu Tiankuo continued to ask in disbelief.

In fact, it is surprising that such a strong wine taste is brewed only with fruit without adding koji.

"Exactly. It's because the brewing is too simple. That's why I played tricks on it."

Jiang Zhixia was also a little helpless.

Everything else is complicated things simplified, only this wine can only be simple things complicated.

Even though Chu Tiankuo was usually calm, he was a little amazed.However, the doubts in his heart deepened --- is reading really so useful?

"Since this batch of wine is ready, the rest of the wine can be opened and filtered one after another. However, because it is new wine, I don't know how it will be preserved in the future. I will take a few jars today and try drinking at home. talk later."

Jiang Zhixia hesitated for a while, but still didn't plan to sell it in the restaurant immediately.

In the past life, it often happened that he was poisoned and sent to the hospital after drinking the wine he brewed.

Now, not to mention that it is the first time for me to brew, many conditions may not be able to reach the level of the previous life.

Therefore, she is very worried about the quality and shelf life of wine.

She was also thinking, should I buy one or hire a wine craftsman to take care of the wine business?
After all, this thing is going to be sold in the market.

"I have no problem drinking this wine. However, if you are worried, let's take a few jars home and let me taste them for a while."

Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia's carefulness and caution, so he agreed.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo supporting her so much in front of everyone, Jiang Zhixia couldn't help laughing.

So, she asked Xing Zhuangtou to go to the cellar again, and brought out four or five jars of wine, filtered them, and put them on the carriage.

Then, Jiang Zhixia told Xing Zhuangtou: "If you are on your side, just wait for my news. Don't touch the other wine jars. If there is no problem, I will send someone to notify you. If you are like me again Strain the wine well."

Xing Zhuangtou nodded naturally.

Now that the drinks are finished, Jiang Zhixia will leave the farm and return to the capital.

Just as she was about to step into the carriage, Xing Zhuangtou suddenly remembered something and said: "Madam, you asked me before if there was anything special near Zhuangzi. This is really a strange thing. It is our Zhuangzi. Nearby, there is a Zhuangzi of Duke Wu’s mansion. Before, Duke Wu was out of breath on the road. As a result, he was saved by a girl who pressed him down a few times. Now, Duke Wu’s mansion is still searching for the rescuer in the village Auntie."

Xing Zhuangtou suddenly thought of something special that Jiang Zhixia had asked a long time ago, and said it quickly.

Jiang Zhixia paused as he stepped onto the car seat, his expression changed involuntarily.

Immediately, she realized that this was at the gate of Zhuangzi, and there were many servants beside her, so she forced a smile and said, "I'm out of breath, can I still be saved? Then Duke Wu is completely healthy?"

Xingzhuangtou and the others didn't notice Jiang Zhixia's strangeness, only Chu Tiankuo, who had his eyes on her all the time, noticed it keenly.

He pursed his lips, knowing that Xia was hiding something from him?If you don't tell him, do you not trust him?He—want to ask?
"It's saved, it's saved. It's just that I heard that Duke Wu had chest pains for a long time, and he said he was contused."

Xing Zhuangtou saw that his boss was interested in this topic, so he hurriedly said more.

When Jiang Zhixia heard that it was a bruise rather than a broken bone, she was also relieved.

It's been so long, and so many things happened in the middle, she really forgot about it. . . .

Now, hearing that it didn't cause too much harm, I was finally relieved.

So, she hastily ended the topic, and took the jars of wine back to the capital.

　Novels are not documentaries.So, learn to make wine carefully.

　　If it’s not brewed well, don’t blame me O(∩_∩)O haha~
