Chapter 14 Fruit Wine

Time passed quickly, and in August, the Dai family gradually integrated into the life of Shitou Village, and the old man Dai also slowly showed his talents in the private school. For a while, many people wanted to send their children to Qingshi Private School.

Dai Ming and Wen Dai Ming'an were also running around the town and various bookstores in the county, and many young students invited them to discuss literature and recite poems together.

As for Dai Qingyun's uncles and aunts, they are not idle, and they take turns to sell soap in several neighboring villages and towns every day.

And Dai Qingyun and Erlang have already found a caravan staying in Fengxian County in the county, and negotiated to send 5000 yuan of soap there today.

"Second brother, let's collect some fruits after the soap is delivered later."

Dai Qingyun sat beside Erlang, shaking his short legs.

Dai Mingwu was carrying the bullock cart, and glanced at Dai Qingyun, "Sit still, be careful not to fall."

This bullock cart was newly bought, it was convenient to run the business on behalf of the family, and it would be much easier to plow the land when there were cattle.

"Okay, let's go to Wujia Village, Qingshui Town today to have a look. I heard from the villagers that there are quite a lot of fruit trees in this village."

When Dai Qingyun heard the words, he clenched the armrest and nodded again, "It's fine if I can collect about two hundred catties today, and it would be great if I could get a little more pomegranates."

Most of the fruits in Stone Village and Qingshi Town are pears and peaches, and they received very few pomegranates.

As for other fruits, don't even think about it. After all, it is not a prosperous city, and there are very few people who plant fruit trees.

"Now the family is dizzy because of your busyness, and the aunts rarely make noise."

Erlang grinned, because he was always out for business recently, his skin was a bit dark, but he looked healthier and stronger.

Dai Qingyun reached out and pulled the straw hat on his head, and looked at Erlang with wide eyes, "It's better to be busy, lest they make grandma angry because of some trivial things."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"If my mother hears you say this, she will give you a blank look."

Erlang smiled heartily, this sister is really getting more and more mischievous.

Dai Qingyun couldn't help laughing either.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao, who was busy making wine at home, sneezed, shook her body, and muttered, "It's a hot day, so I won't catch a cold."

……

When they arrived in the county, the brother and sister found the inn where the caravan rested.

"Yo, little brother, you're pretty punctual!"

As soon as they entered the inn door, a man who came downstairs saw them.

"Brother Lin!"

Erlang greeted warmly, "You are leaving tomorrow morning, I'm afraid of delaying your work, of course you have to be on time!"

"Hahahaha, go, you guys go unload."

Big Brother Lin stepped forward and sat on the stool, "You two sit on the bench too. It's a hot day, thank you for your hard work!"

"Hehe, Brother Lin, you are welcome."

Dai Qingyun and the two sat opposite Brother Lin.

"Brother Lin, it's a long way for you to go to Linjiang Mansion this time, and it's a hot day, so prepare a few more quilts to cover the box, and the soap won't be afraid of becoming soft."

Dai Qingyun looked at Lin Feng opposite, but at the age of 23, he had already been released by his family to walk a caravan alone, and he couldn't help admiring him.

Lin Feng drank herbal tea and nodded after hearing Dai Qingyun's words, "I've prepared the quilt that Miss Dai said, don't worry."

Lin Feng thought to himself, when he saw this girl for the first time, he thought it was just a picture of a little girl, until he saw the soap, and heard Dai Qingyun say, "Brother Lin, our family's soap is definitely the first in Xuan Dynasty, and the price is affordable , can be stored and put away, if you take it out to run a business, you will definitely make a lot of money!"

At such a young age, he is thoughtful, thoughtful, able to speak and do things, and over time, this child is by no means simple, so he immediately accepts his underestimation.

Several people chatted for a while, until Lin Feng's people said that the goods were better, and Lin Feng readily accepted the final payment, and the three said goodbye.

On the bullock cart, Dai Qingyun weighed the money bag in his hand happily. In addition to the deposit of 25 taels paid by Lin Feng, the final payment was a full 50 taels!

"Our soap business is becoming more and more stable. Recently, many people have inquired about our family's door-to-door pick-up. Second brother, I can entrust this soap business to you!"

Dai Qingyun sat on the side of the carriage with a smile on his face, fanning Erlang with a fan in one hand.

Erlang turned his head and gave Dai Qingyun a blank look, "You're a big kid! You want to train your second brother to be a businessman who smells like copper."

"What's wrong with the smell of copper! I like the smell of copper. If there is no silver, I will see how you will get married in the future!"

Dai Qingyun stuck out his tongue and made a grimace.

"Okay, you dare to tease your second brother now, go home and see if I don't beat you."

"Slightly slightly slightly, you dare not beat me."

……

After leaving the county seat, turn right and go straight to Qingshui Town. The two talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Wujia Village, Qingshui Town.

Erlang first inquired about Li Zheng's house, and asked Li Zheng to help gather the villagers to collect two hundred catties of pears and peaches.

Qingshui Town is willing to listen to the intention of coming. Every household in the village is living a tight life. It is better to be able to sell some fruits and have some income than to have no income.

Wu Lizheng called his son and daughter-in-law to the village to call for someone, and then asked the two to sit and drink tea.

"Are you two brothers and sisters from the county?"

Enthusiastically, Wu Lizheng took out melon seeds and peanuts, and chatted with Dai Qingyun and his siblings.

"Wu Lizheng, we are from Shitou Village, Qingshi Town." Erlang drank a bowl of herbal tea and wiped the sweat from his brow again.

"Oh, Stone Village, Zhang Lizheng and I know each other in your village, but we haven't seen each other for many years. How is that old guy? Is he in good health?"

Wu Lizheng was propping up on the crutch with one hand, and stroking the teacup with the other, his old face was full of traces of time.

"Grandpa Zhang is pretty good. He plays chess with my grandpa every now and then."

Dai Qingyun fanned the wind while looking at Wu Lizheng. This Lizheng looked older than Zhang Lizheng, but they were both kind.

"Your grandfather? I don't know who your grandfather is, little girl?"

Wu Lizheng looked at the brother and sister with cloudy eyes, and suddenly coughed again.

At this time, a little girl came out of the room and handed Wu Lizheng a bowl of medicine.

Wu Lizheng got better after drinking the medicine.

"Are you okay, Wu Lizheng..."

Erlang looked at Wu Lizheng with some concern.

"It's okay, it's just an old problem. By the way, you haven't said who your grandfather is."

Wu Lizheng waved his hands, and looked at the two with a smile on his pale face.

Dai Qingyun looked at the kind old man in front of him and felt a little sour, "Our grandfather is Dai Qiru, do you know Wu Lizheng?"

"Ah, Dai Qiru, ahem, let me say that this young man looks familiar, so he looks like your grandfather."

Wu Lizheng coughed a few times, and his thoughts drifted away. After a while, villagers from Wu Lizheng's house came one after another.

The two brothers and sisters were busy weighing and paying the money. After working for a long time, they harvested more than 100 catties of pears and more than 100 catties of peaches. Unexpectedly, a family planted pomegranates and harvested an additional [-] catties of pomegranates.

The two of them finished their work and wanted to say goodbye to Wu Lizheng. His son told them that Wu Lizheng had already rested.

Dai Qingyun and his wife drove away from Wujia Village with a cart full of fruits, feeling a little excited, "Second brother, now including the ones at home, we have harvested a total of more than 1000 catties of fruits. We just wait for all of them to be brewed."

Erlang is also very happy, with so much fruit wine, he will be able to open a shop next month, and the fruit wine business will definitely explode by then.

When Dai Qingyun proposed to make fruit wine, the Dai family were all amazed. They never thought that fruit could be used to make fruit wine!

After all, it is good to be able to fill the stomach in this era, not to mention that grain wine has been famous all over the world since ancient times, and no one has ever made wine from fruit.

This is Erfang's Dai Zhiyi expressing his strong support. He loved drinking when he was in Fucheng. He knew it would work when he heard his niece's idea. Fruit wine is different from grain wine and has a lighter taste. Not only men can drink it, but women can also drink it !

So everyone in Dai's family discussed, since they want to make fruit wine business, they should simply expand it, buy the wasteland adjacent to the backyard of Dai's family, and build a house for wine making.

So everyone divides the work and cooperates, the soap seller sells the soap, and the fruit harvester harvests the fruit, including the work at home.

By the time the two returned home, the moon had already come out.

"Yuner, Erlang, you are back!"

Li Shi and Dai Zhixiao were peeling peaches in the yard, when they heard the sound of the door opening, they got up and greeted them.

"Mother, why haven't you rested so late, you have already hired someone to help you peel the skin, why are you still working so hard?"

Dai Qingyun blamed, and quickly supported Li Shi, "If you are tired, the younger brother in your stomach will feel uncomfortable too!"

"Your mother insists on waiting for you to come back, she won't listen to what you say." Dai Zhixiao shook his head helplessly, his wife was stubborn, and he couldn't help it.

"It's so expensive, it's not that you girl insisted on going out, I told you to let your father and Erlang go outside and you would not listen."

Li Shi pretended to be angry, and dragged her daughter to wash in distress.

Dai Qingyun had no choice but to stick out her tongue, her body was only ten years old, but her mind was already 26, and she could only rest assured after seeing her own business...

She never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, for fear that if she was not careful, her family would be tricked.

Erlang and Dai Zhixiao unloaded the fruit in the courtyard before washing and resting.

Dai Qingyun, who was tired all day, fell asleep and had no sleep all night.

The next day, I was woken up by voices in the yard, and it was already high in the sun.

Dai Qingyun was fully dressed, opened the door, and saw in the yard, sisters Lin and Dai Qingyu, as well as a few grandmothers and aunts in the village, were already peeling.

"Yun'er is up, is she sleeping comfortably?" Lin looked at Dai Qingyun amiably.

"The food is warming up for you on the stove, let's go eat first."

"Thank you, grandma. I just bumped in the car all day yesterday, and I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

Dai Qingyun walked over and squatted beside Lin, watching them peeling.

"I saw you going out with your second brother every day, and thought you wouldn't be tired." Dai Qingrong washed a peeled peach and handed it to Dai Qingyun, jokingly said, "Look at you, you've got a lot of tan .”

Dai Qingyun took the peach, took a bite, and said nonchalantly, "What do you know, this is a healthy complexion."

"Rong'er is right, you are almost becoming a wild monkey, so don't go out for a while, just stay at home and learn embroidery with your elder sister Yu'er."

Lin's eyes were full of love, and he reached out to touch Dai Qingyun's head. Since this granddaughter came to Shitou Village, she has changed visibly with the naked eye. She is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
