Chapter 53 Wine

Second day

Mrs. Wu pushed the door open and entered, holding a bowl of pitch-black Chinese medicine in her hand, coaxing softly, "Baby, come, drink the medicine."

After hearing the movement, Xu Lingyue slowly got up from the bed, and then smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, and she pinched her nose quickly.

She glanced at the bowl of soup in Mrs. Wu's hand, she was a little scared, and said in a coquettish tone: "Mother, I feel that I'm already cured, can I stop drinking?"

This medicine must be very bitter, so she doesn't want to drink it, she hates it.

Wu's expression was quite serious, and he said in a tone that could not be refused at all: "No."

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue put on a bitter face for a moment, and reluctantly took the bowl of soup that was bitter at first glance.

After a long time, she pinched her nose and swallowed it down.

Seeing this, Wu Shi nodded in satisfaction, took the medicine bowl back and walked out.

Xu Lingyue stretched, yawned and walked outside.

Today, she is going to turn the wild grapes she picked into wine.

After all, a day has passed, and I'm afraid it will be wasted if I put it down.

At this moment, Mrs. Wu walked in, holding a ceramic jar in her hand, and after gesturing to her, she asked, "Baby, can you take a look at this kind of jar?"

"Yes." Xu Lingyue nodded.

Wu frowned and explained: "Baby, you really want to turn those wild grapes into wine. In fact, this wine is also sold in the town, but the taste is too sour, and everyone doesn't like it. No one will sell it."

After hearing Wu's words, Xu Lingyue realized that there is wine in this world, she thought there was no such thing.

Seeing this, Xu Lingyue quickly thought of a reason and began to persuade Wu. She was triumphant, as if this matter would definitely come true: "Aniang, anyway, these wild grapes can't be eaten up anyway, so it's better to make wine, maybe your daughter Fortunately, the brewed wine is different from theirs."

But in fact, she has no idea. Although she knows the general process of wine making, she has never operated it before. She has only read the tutorial on a certain sound.

But she believes she can succeed.

It's not that Mrs. Wu doesn't trust her daughter, but who doesn't know what this wine tastes like, it's terrible, otherwise everyone would have rushed to pick it up and brew it. After all, there are a lot of wild grapes on the mountain.

It's just that Guaibao finally became interested in one thing, and she really didn't want to hurt her self-confidence.

Xu Lingyue thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Aniang, how many jars like this do we have?"

Hearing this, Wu replied, "Four."

Although she didn't know if her daughter would be able to make wine successfully, she immediately went to clean the jar when she heard that Xu Lingyue was going to make wine.

Xu Lingyue took her arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's hurry up and drink."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu shook her head helplessly, but her tone was indulgent: "You girl, it's really rare to see you being so serious."

Because a lot of wild grapes were eaten, there are not many wild grapes left, there are about a dozen bunches of them. In fact, Xu Lingyue was a little worried that the catty of sugar would not be enough, but when her elder brother went to the town to sell baskets in the morning, she ordered Ask the other party to bring back a few catties of sugar.

In the yard, Xue Huaijing squatted on the ground playing with ants, and kept talking to himself.

I saw him holding a branch as thick as chopsticks in his hand, drawing a circle on the ground to surround the ants, and smiled mischievously: "Little ant, little ant, let's see where you escape."

When he saw an ant trying to climb out of the circle, he quickly reached out and grabbed it back, muttering: "Hey, it's just a dream to want to escape from my master's palm."

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wu frowned, seemed a little displeased, and suggested, "My dear, this kid only eats and doesn't work, why don't we find a reason to send him away."

Hearing this, she frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "Mother, I already promised him, it's not good to drive him away."

Although she knew that A Niang didn't like Xue Huaijing, she agreed to let him stay no matter what, but she regretted it after a day, she couldn't say it.

Wu Shi said a little reluctantly: "All right, all right."

Xue Huaijing over there also noticed the two of them at this time, he quickly stood up and walked towards them, and shouted with a smile: "Auntie, Sister Ayue."

Wu Shi nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Xue Huaijing glanced at the jar in Wu's hand, and asked a little puzzled, "Auntie, is this?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wu was silent, Xu Lingyue quickly explained: "Oh, we are going to make wine."

He nodded and said hastily, "That's it, why don't I help you?"

After hearing his words, Wu's complexion became better. In order to make Wu's view of him change, Xu Lingyue readily agreed, let him do the work of picking grapes, picking them one by one, which is right after all. It's not difficult for him.

Then, Mrs. Wu moved the grapes to the yard, and brought a large pot and a few wooden benches.

First of all, the first step is to pick off the wild grapes one by one, and this work will be handed over to Xue Huaijing. I thought this kind of work that required patience would be boring for an active person like him, but I didn't expect this. The boy didn't say a word the whole time, and worked very seriously.

This made Wu Shi a little surprised, so he looked at him a few more times.

The picked wild grapes were placed in a large basin, and then Wu and Xu Lingyue were responsible for picking out the bad and rotten ones.

Wild grapes do not need to be cleaned, because there is a layer of hoarfrost on its surface, and this layer of hoarfrost is natural wild yeast, not to mention that it is wild and has not been treated with pesticides, so it is very safe.

After finishing these tasks, the eldest brother and father came back from the town.

Xu Hongfu said: "Little sister, Brother Tang you wanted has been brought back."

The candy came so timely, Xu Lingyue quickly took it and said with a smile, "That's great, thank you, brother."

There are about eight catties of sugar here, which should be more than enough.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Hongfu said again: "By the way, Dad and I went to Hongyan Academy today. There are a total of [-] Shuxiu a year. Mr. Liu said that Xiaoyao and Abao have passed the age of enlightenment. So it might be difficult to learn."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Lingyue, as if to see her reaction.

Xu Lingyue nodded without any reaction, and then asked: "Ten taels for one person, and 20 taels for two people. Did Mr. Liu say when they would be admitted to school?"

Hearing this, he explained: "Mr. Liu said that as long as you pay the money and go through the admission procedures, you can enroll. I thought I would come back and let you know."

After all, the money was earned by the younger sister, and 20 taels is not a small amount. He was also afraid that the younger sister would have opinions after hearing this, so he thought about coming back to ask the younger sister first, but seeing the younger sister's appearance, she seemed to be indifferent. I care too much.
