The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 368 Wine Shop ([-])

In the next few days, Su Yunduo went out early and returned almost every day, or went to the workshop to inspect and give advice, or went to the village in the southern suburbs to pick tomatoes and peppers. It was not until five days later that Su Yunduo stopped going out and started to concentrate on preparations The brewery thing.

Lu Jinkang has already returned to work as an errand in the Imperial Guard Department, but his errands are relatively controllable, and because the Holy One likes fresh and sour tomatoes, Lu Jinkang has an excuse to run to Zhuangzi outside the city, almost every day Can meet with Su Yunduo.

The two of them talked about the workshop, about the open space to build a duck house, and how much tomatoes and peppers were favored in the palace. They seemed to forget that this was in the capital, and getting along for a few days was better than in Geshan Village. Get closer.

Yesterday Lu Jinkang told Su Yunduo that he might not be able to run outside the city in the next few days. As for the delivery of tomatoes and peppers to the palace, Ning Zhongping was asked to go to the city every day. Hand over with Ning Zhongping.

If Su Yunduo needs to find him for anything, just ask Ning Zhongping to go to the city to find him, and he will only take time to deal with it.

As the commander of the imperial army, Lu Jinkang has responsibilities that he must shoulder, so naturally he cannot always be so lax. These days, in Su Yunduo's view, it is because the Holy Majesty loves tomatoes that Lu Jinkang is allowed to do nothing.

Su Yunduo himself has more important things to do, so he won't be distracted by whether Lu Jinkang comes to Zhuangzi or not.

Hearing what Lu Jinkang said, he smiled and chased after Lu Jinkang: "No matter how busy my cousin is, don't forget the snowflake candy that the winery needs."

When Su Yunduo said the words "No matter how busy your cousin is, don't forget", Lu Jinkang's heart was pounding, expecting that the next word would be "I", but what Su Yunduo was thinking about was The snowflake sugar needed for brewing wine in the winery.

Lu Jinkang was horrified when the feeling of loss filled his heart. It turned out that at some point, he already had new expectations for the relationship between himself and Su Yunduo.

This day, Lu Jinkang almost ran away, but Su Yunduo was only interested in the wine that was about to be brewed, and didn't pay attention to Lu Jinkang's abnormality at all.

The grapes planted in the vineyard have gradually entered the ripening stage.

Except for a small part of this year's grapes, which are given to relatives and friends to taste as in previous years, the rest of the grapes are no longer sent to fruit shops for sale, but are all used for wine making.

According to Zhuangtou, the wild grapes in the valley are later than the grapes in the vineyard in previous years.

This year is a little different. I don’t know if it’s because the springs have been opened and watered. The ripening period is comparable to that of the grapes in the vineyard, and it’s not as sour and difficult to drink as Zhuangtou said. The water content is still higher than that of the grapes in the vineyard. higher.

That is to say, compared with the wild grapes of previous years, this year's wild grapes are still edible and more suitable for wine making. This is another great harvest after the discovery of the spring.

Speaking of this spring, it has now become the favorite place for Su Yunduo's three younger brothers. Even Mrs. Lu has to go to the spring to get water to make tea, saying that the tea made with the water in this spring has an extra fragrance feeling.

Su Yunduo was only from a farming family in her previous life. Although she went to university and left the countryside, she is still not a very elegant person, and she has no talent for tea. The tea is about the same in her mouth.

The feeling that Old Madam Lu mentioned was just a psychological effect at the beginning, but after Old Madam Lu took her to taste the tea a few times, it really made Su Yunduo slowly taste something different, Obviously talent also needs to be tapped.

It's just that Su Yunduo wanted to take advantage of the limited days that Mrs. Lu was staying in the Zhuangzi to finish her work, so it was really rare to be able to sit down quietly and drink tea.

The old lady Lu originally wanted to use this time to tune/teach Ning Shi and Su Yunduo's mother and daughter, but as a result, her tuning/teaching object was often only Ning Shi.

Fortunately, Ning is not such a stupid person. After being transferred/taught by Mrs. Lu for a few days, Ning's progress is quite gratifying. At least when she speaks, her thick Yanshan Mansion accent has been greatly improved. .

Su Yunduo has been living in Zhuangzi for a few days. Although he leaves early and returns late almost every day, he is still very concerned about the situation of his Zhuangzi.

She also went to see the spring in person. Thanks to the efforts of the servants led by Zhang Pingan, one-third of the land between the valley and the vineyard has been reclaimed.

Seeing that the grapes in the vineyard and the wild grapes in the valley were maturing day by day, Zhang Pingan led his people to work in the dark, hoping to combine the vineyard and the valley before picking the grapes and starting to make wine.

But Su Yunduo refused to let Zhang Pingan do this, so he temporarily stopped the land reclamation work for the day, and sent a message to Zhang Pingan to bring the sixteen servants to the vacant warehouse she had selected in advance.

This warehouse was used by Zhuangzi to temporarily store rice in the past, so the humidity here is a bit heavy due to the proximity of mountains and rivers, and this warehouse gradually became idle.

In order to build the winery, Su Yunduo looked through the houses in the village, and finally chose this warehouse.

Wine storage requires a certain amount of humidity. The humidity in this warehouse is nothing to wine. There are two reasons why Su Yunduo values ​​it the most.

One is that there is a relatively small cellar under the warehouse, which is very suitable for storing wine regardless of humidity or ventilation.

The second is that this warehouse is close to the vineyards and valleys, and not far from the spring, which is convenient for washing grapes with spring water.

It's just that the warehouse and the cellar have been vacant for a long time, and all the sundries are piled up here on weekdays, which makes it look extremely messy. What a winery needs is a clean and refreshing environment, so this warehouse needs to be tidied up. Fan.

"Girl, don't worry, within two days at the most, we will be able to clean up the place, leaving no trace of dust on the roof." Zhang Pingan assured Su Yunduo, patting his not-so-strong chest after receiving the order.

The servants who have been with Yu Ping'an for almost ten days also surrounded Su Yunduo to express their loyalty, and they all expressed that they would definitely change the old appearance of the warehouse within two days.

Although Su Yunduo said that she left early and returned late, she still knew what was going on in the village. She knew that from the second day old Mrs. Lu came to the village, there were many people who either went out in person or asked for help. They changed errands, and some even complained to the old lady.

It's a pity that these people underestimated the status of Su Yunduo's family in the old lady's heart, so no matter whether it was a complaint or a plea, the old lady Lu ignored it, and these people all returned home without a feather.

After so many times, the old lady Lu was annoyed, and she directly said that whoever dares to intercede for these people again will sell the person who intercedes with this person. The Su family does not need such eyes A slave without a master.

In this way, whoever doesn't understand the status of the family who just recognized their ancestors in the heart of Mrs. Lu is really blind and covered in shit.
