The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 372 Wine Shop ([-])

After talking and joking, Su Yunduo and Ning Zhongping went to the temporary study.

"Nephew Lu Xian has also heard the rumors outside. He is looking for people to investigate. He reassures you that as long as you find out the person who ruined your reputation, he will definitely get the punishment he deserves." Ning Zhongping Tell Su Yunduo about the trip to the city.

He approached Lu Jinkang angrily and told him about it. Although Lu Jinkang didn't say anything to blame him for his rare impulse, Ning Zhongping could tell from his expression that he didn't agree with Ning Zhongping telling Su Yunduo about it.

After digesting for more than an hour, Ning Zhongping also felt that he was a little impulsive today, although he was out of good intentions to fear that after Su Yunduo returned to the city, he would suddenly be unable to bear the rumors outside.

This is also because he has no experience in this area. If he wants to live in the capital, the wind, sword, frost and sword he will face will definitely not be just such rumors.

It was the first time for Su Yunduo to participate in this kind of communication in the noble circle, and such rumors were spread by interested people.

As long as Su Yunduo is the eldest daughter of Su's second wife, there will only be more and more gatherings like this. Is it possible that every time there are rumors, he can only be as impulsive and helpless as today?

Of course not!

Now it seems that he still has a lot to learn, but in order to protect the people he cares about, Ning Zhongping is willing to put down his body to learn to make up for his own shortcomings.

After hearing such rumors, it is impossible to say that Su Yunduo is not angry at all, but now her mind is all on grape wine making, and some of her ideas have not been assimilated by the world, and she firmly believes that rumors are just nothing. Rumors, so I really didn't worry too much.

Compared to her wine shop, those rumors are really nothing to Su Yunduo.

"Since Cousin Lu has sent someone to investigate, uncle don't want to interfere. It's better if we make wine." Su Yunduo was afraid that Ning Zhongping was still angry, so he took the herbal tea from Zisu and handed it to Ning. Zhongping persuaded.

Ning Zhongping took the herbal tea that Su Yunduo handed him and drank it all in one gulp, then let out a long breath, as if he had exhausted all the turbid air in his heart, he felt much more relieved.

Of course, I still have some bitterness about Su Yunduo's ruined reputation, but I just don't want to reveal it in front of Su Yunduo, so I followed Su Yunduo's lead and changed the topic: "You can just tell me what you need my uncle to do tomorrow."

"I'm going to deliver grapes to the city tomorrow, so I need my brother-in-law to help me, so I can rest assured." Su Yunduo explained to Ning Zhongping what he needed to do tomorrow.

"You mean to send 25 baskets to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, [-] baskets to the Su Clan, and five baskets to the Dachang Princess's mansion. Isn't that too much? In this hot day, the grapes don't need to be released, there are too many Wouldn't it be a waste?" Ning Zhongping frowned slightly and looked at Su Yunduo in puzzlement.

Su Yunduo explained: "I asked my grandmother that in previous years, the grapes would be sent to these three places when they were ripe. I just sent more than the previous years, because this year's grapes taste good.

The amount sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is increased, and my uncle should have noticed that, usually, Cousin Lu will send it to the palace no matter what good things he gets. This year, the quality of grapes in our vineyard has improved a lot. Cousin must be sending it to the palace.

I just ask that these 25 baskets are enough for Cousin Lu to give me favors, but don't ask me for them after eating well, then I will be really at a loss!

As for the family, I originally wanted to give away a few baskets, but after thinking about it, let's forget it and stick to the old rules.

Tomorrow my uncle will just send it as I said, and the day after tomorrow we will start picking wine. "

Although Ning Zhongping has never tasted the grapes produced by this vineyard in previous years, he heard from Zhuangtou that the grapes produced in this village in previous years were not so popular. After tasting a few grapes today, he felt that the taste was really good. A bit sour, but just right.

I also heard from Su Yunduo that picking grapes to make wine will start in the next day. How can Ning Zhongping not know Su Yunduo's plan? She must pick the grapes to make wine before others come to ask for it, and people can only watch The vines of the garden and the unripe grapes sigh in vain.

The uncle and nephew couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

Su Yunduo asked Ning Zhongping to go to the village head and prepare some clean straw to transport to the vineyard.

On the second day, Su Yunduo got up at Yinzheng, had a hurried breakfast, and went to the vineyard with perilla and angelica.

When they arrived at the vineyard, the vineyard was buzzing with people.

In addition to the sixteen people brought by Zhang Ping'an, Zhuangtou also brought over ten people to help out. Fifty backpacks of the same size were neatly placed on the ground in five stacks, and several large bundles of clean straw had also been transported. to the ground.

"Peng Zhuangtou, just leave eight people here to help. You take the others back to harness the carts. Well, let's harness five carriages. Remember to feed the horses. Today we will send grapes to the city." Su Yunduo After looking at the scene, I felt that there was no need for so many people to be busy in the vineyard. After thinking about it, I haven't arranged for anyone to set up the car, so I quickly ordered the village head to go back to set up the car.

Fifty baskets of grapes may sound like a lot, but in fact it is only about [-] catties. Of course, everyone needs to search for ripe grapes, but it may take less than an hour to complete the work.

In order to protect the grapes, Su Yunduo specially ordered everyone to layer the grapes with a layer of straw to minimize the damage of the grapes during transportation. In addition, he added a cover to the basket to protect the grapes.

The overripe grapes are too delicate, in order not to hurt the grapes, Su Yunduo didn't plan to stack them, so he ordered Zhuangtou to set up five carriages at once.

Peng Zhuangtou answered yes, ordered eight people to stay, and took the others back to feed the horses and harness the cart.

Su Yunduo clapped his hands, and the vineyard suddenly became quiet.

"Have you all got the scissors?" Su Yunduo glanced at everyone and asked.

"Girl, we don't have any!" It was the person brought by Peng Zhuangtou who spoke.

Su Yunduo nodded, signaling them not to worry, just looking at the seventeen people holding the scissors: "Each of you carry a basket, follow me."

Speaking of taking the scissors in Zhang Ping'an's hands, Zisu quickly picked up a basket, and Bai Zhi carried a small handful of straw. The three masters and servants walked into the vineyard and stopped in front of a bunch of amethyst-shining grapes. down.

When everyone came over with scissors and baskets, Su Yunduo pointed to the grapes in front of him and said: "Everyone is optimistic, such grapes are already ripe, and everyone will pick such grapes today.

When picking, hold the bottom of the grapes with one hand, and cut off the stems of the grapes with scissors with the other hand to avoid pulling and damaging the fruit tree.

The picked grapes are gently put into the basket, and each bunch of grapes is separated with straw. Remember to move gently to avoid damaging the grapes.Do you remember? "

"Remember!" Everyone replied in unison.
