Chapter 141 Shi Miao wants to make fruit wine
"Aunt Liu, let's start a restaurant together next year. I'll pay for it, and you'll be the chef!"

The perfectly blended flavors made Shi Miao unable to think of any words to describe how delicious the tofu pocket dish Liu Ailing researched by herself was, but in her perception, Liu Ailing's cooking skills were much better than the royal chef's in some aspects .

Although they don't need to use currency now, it will be different when the people from Water Blue Star move here. At that time, everything will have clear rules again, and life will no longer be as unscrupulous as it is now.

"That's a good idea! I'll vote a little bit then!"

Xu Yi, who only knows how to study plants, couldn't help but nodded.

After eating for so many years, eating here is the most comfortable and joyful for him.

"I asked my parents to help vote!"

Gu Tianjiao also raised her hand and spoke.

Although she is poor, her family still has some financial resources.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the next year. Let's just live our lives well."

Liu Ailing smiled slightly and said helplessly.

Although she likes to cook, it would be too embarrassing for her to be a chef and be stuck in the kitchen every day.

"Well, the sour plum soup is cold now. Although there is no sugar, it tastes good when it is hot. Everyone, let's try it as the end of today's dinner."

Shi Miao nodded slightly, and first poured herself a cup of sour plum soup.

The slightly sour taste is very greasy, with a touch of sweetness, which instantly dispels all the greasy and spicy taste in the mouth, leaving only a faint fragrance of plums.

"It's delicious! It's wonderful! You're really good at it!"

Miya took a sip, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although greasy things are delicious, but having a cup of greasy drink after a meal, this feeling is really not so good.

"Well, I'll get a batch of containers out tomorrow and make fruit wine for everyone."

Shi Miao, who is in a good mood, thinks of wine after thinking of restaurants.

Once upon a time, she fell in love with her superior daughter Hong very much, but unfortunately after entering the palace, the chances of drinking wine became less and less.

All in all, after coming here, the kind of her who always liked to play hide and seek with the court ladies to steal wine, it seems that her obsession with wine has subconsciously decreased a lot.

"You still know how to make wine? Then don't leave it to us to build the road together tomorrow. You can burn your container properly, and then make wine for us first."

Hearing that Shi Miao knew how to make wine, Uncle Ge's eyes lit up visibly with the naked eye.

He usually likes that kind of sip, but the high-quality shochu and baijiu have disappeared in Shuilanxing for many years. The only bottle of high-quality baijiu in his house has been secretly hidden by his wife. He can only drink a sip or two during the holidays, and he will really be hungry to death.

Although the fruit wine has a low alcohol content and is so sweet that the girls like it, it is still wine after all, so it would be good to satisfy him a little bit.

"I agree with this too!"

Zhou Youcai also raised his hand abruptly.

As a person who talks jokes in the circle, he has naturally drank wine a lot these years, but the wines circulating in Shuilanxing are all extracted from plants accumulated with chemicals. Jin'er is really disgusting, it's not as delicious as Shi Miao's sour plum soup.

So he was looking forward to fruit wine.

"Okay then, I'll leave it to you to open the road tomorrow, and I'll burn containers to make wine for everyone. By the way... I want to burn a batch of glass, and then everyone should change the windows, otherwise the house will always be dark. , making people feel a little depressed and uncomfortable.”

Seeing that everyone seems to be very enthusiastic about fruit wine, Shi Miao nodded in agreement.

"I agree with this even more! Shi Miao, you can do what you want to do with confidence and courage, and we will take care of such trivial things as road construction!"

Gu Tianjiao also patted her small chest boldly and spoke.

Everyone nodded in unison.

……

The next day.

After listening to what the big guys said, Shi Miao first carried the bamboo basket to the place downstream of the water to dig sand and clay and came back.

Before making glass, a mold is needed, so during this period of time, Shi Miao decided to burn some porcelain first, so he prepared the materials and continued to make clay sculptures.

With the experience of making tableware before, this time Shi Miao directly squeezed out a few vases with confidence and boldness.

Although flowers can be placed in bamboo tubes, they are not as beautiful as porcelain vases.

After making more than a dozen clay embryos for vases, after the clay embryos dried a little, Shi Miao found a very thin carving knife from Uncle Ge, and lightly drew a few patterns on the clay embryos, and then painted them on the clay. Outside, I randomly found some fresh green grass, yellowed but beautifully shaped leaves, and some small wild flowers that were still blooming tenaciously, and carefully glued them to the mud embryo all at once.

She then made several larger clay pots, and three small porcelain pots that can be used to simmer soups.

After the mud embryos are almost dry, they are all sent to the kiln for baking.

This time was relatively long, so Shi Miao began to change places, opened the furnace to melt the iron ore again, and beat the iron sheet into four 0.5cm thick square molds of almost the same size.

After that, she made a one-meter-high cylindrical mold and a large iron bucket with a thickness of a finger, and put them aside and let them cool down slowly.

It was already noon after finishing these.

Others spent the morning cleaning up the uneven weeds and stones on the budgeted road, and repairing the ground first.

Yesterday's dinner was overly extravagant, and today's lunch started to fade.

Liu Ailing fried a plate of scrambled eggs with fungus, another plate of fried meat with mushrooms, mixed a plate of small rapeseed, and a pot of noodles as everyone's lunch.

It's so simple, this simple lunch still made many people in Shuilanxing stare bitterly.

After lunch, Shi Miao took a nap for an hour before going back to add coal to the kiln again.

After that, the formal preparation of raw materials for firing glass began.

She poured the sand she dug in the morning into the basin, then poured a certain proportion of caustic soda and lime into it, and slowly stirred it with water, because there was no boric acid, Shi Miao asked for a small bottle from Gu Ao Potassium permanganate was also poured in after a good amount was prepared.

After preparing everything, Shi Miao put the messy mixture in the basin in a cool place for temporary storage.

If you want to burn glass, you need to use a kiln, and the kiln can only be opened until tomorrow, so Shi Miao simply continued to pour most of the basket of wax flakes left over from the day before yesterday into a cooled iron bucket and heat it until it melted. Start slowly pouring to make candles.

During this time period.

The rest of the people also leveled the mud-brick house up to the front of the waterfall. After the road is leveled tomorrow, the next step is to paint the ground with cement.

　Another day passed.

　　Thank you for your votes, good night~
