The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

In the main room, Lin Wanyi was flipping through a miscellaneous diary of wine making.

It not only clearly remembers how to brew plum wine, but also records many recipes for brewing other fruit wines.

Anyway, staying in the palace, she has a lot of time, so she can develop these slowly.

She saw it almost, and Chun Qi and Xia An also happened to enter the house.

"My lord, take a look, this is the green plum that Xiao Luzi just brought from the imperial dining room. This servant girl looks very good, very fresh."

While talking, he took some green plums out of the basket.

Lin Wanyi took a closer look, and she was indeed verdant and about the same size, and it seemed that she had carefully selected them.

The people in the imperial dining room are careful in their work.

"Yes, yes, you go and get some salt and ginger candies, yes, and white wine and porcelain jars."

"My lord, why did you suddenly think of making plum wine?"

Lin Wanyi smiled, remembering a joke her brother once said.

"When will you be able to drink the green plum wine brewed by Qianqian, then brother will have no regrets in this life!"

It was precisely because of this sentence that Lin Wanyi thought about brewing this wine. When her brother came back from the Imperial Army next time, maybe he could give it to him to taste!
"Isn't my elder brother going to join the army? When the wine is ready to drink, my elder brother will probably come back to visit relatives. At that time, I will send it out of the palace to give him a taste. It is my little sister's kindness."

It turned out to be the case.

"Since it's brewed for the young master, it must be the best."

Chunqi smiled slyly, and then said.

"Last time, the Imperial Dining Room brought a jar of good wine, but His Majesty didn't drink it, so it was put away by the servants. This time it's just right to brew it!"

After speaking, he turned and left to prepare things.

Xia An smiled and handed over the silk thread, Lin Wanyi took it and looked at it, her eyes were also full of joy.

"The silk thread that Madam Fan sends every time is exactly what I want. It really is the apprentice taught by my grandmother with all my heart."

After finishing speaking, Xia An asked Xia An to arrange them according to color, and then put them into boxes for future use.

Chunqi hurriedly took all the things to the pavilion in the yard, where the alleys were cleaned every day, and it was very clean.

Lin Wanyi and Xia An came out together, and started tidying up with her.

The vines in the backyard have been irrigated by Chunqi and Xiaoluzi every day, and they have reached the height of two palms. Although it is still a long time before they can be climbed and put on the shelves, everyone is very happy to see the vitality.

In this harem, if you don't find something for yourself to do, I'm afraid it will be like a year.

If you blindly put your mind on fighting for favor and waiting for luck, it would be no wonder if you are not crazy.

Lin Wanyi was afraid that she would become a calculating person like Lin Guifei and the others, so in her free time, she should do some manual work to purify her heart.

Wash the green plum twice with clean water, then add salt, and rub it repeatedly.

Chun Qi and Xia An were afraid that Lin Wanyi's hands would not be able to withstand the baptism of salt water, so they rubbed vigorously.

While kneading, he asked.

"My lord, what is this for?"

"Remove the astringency."

"Oh."

"You guys are almost done rubbing, let it soak. After half an hour, pull out the plum stalks and rinse them with water."

"Row."

After explaining to the two of them, Lin Wanyi didn't stay idle, and cleaned the porcelain jar seriously, and then wiped it with a clean veil until there was no water stain left.

I'm afraid it would take three jars to fit these green plums.

Lin Wanyi is also making it for the first time, always thinking that if one can breaks, there will be two cans, so the ingredients are separated when using them.

For example, one can is filled with ginger candy, one is filled with rock candy, and the other is directly mixed with sugar water and a few dried perilla leaves.

According to the book, perilla leaves can enhance the flavor, but Lin Wanyi was not sure, so she only put it in one of the jars.

Time goes by so fast when you're doing things with your hands.

Soon after half an hour passed, Chunqi brought a flat bamboo basket and poured green plums on it to drain.

And Lin Wanyi wiped them clean one by one with a cloth, and didn't put them into the jar until the fluff of green plums could be seen in the sun.

Then the imperial wine was added to it.

The jars containing plums are not big, so after filling three of them, there is still less than half a cup of the imperial wine left.

Lin Wanyi picked it up and smelled it, it was mellow and strong, so she drank it all in one gulp.

Outsiders don't know her drinking capacity, but Chun Qi and Xia An have seen it before.

The Lin family father and son may not be able to drink better than her alone.

Lin Wanyi's grandfather loves to drink and can drink it very well.

There is always a lot of good wine at home, and when I have nothing to do, I take Lin Wanyi to have a few drinks.

Over time, Lin Wanyi's drinking capacity has been practiced.

"It really is good wine, the emperor is the emperor, even this wine is unusual!"

Chun Qi smiled when she saw this, and sealed the jar with oil paper in her hand, so that the wine would ferment well.

"Put it in a cool place, and add some sugar after half a month."

Then he personally took a pen and wrote the word "Qingmei" on red paper, and pasted it on the jar.

The ink characters in the white pot are very interesting.

When everything was settled, the sun gradually set.

Lin Wanyi looked up at the sky that was a little orange and reddish because of the sunset, and felt infinitely moved.

"It would be great if I could watch the sunset from the tower."

"You want to watch the sunset?"

There was a voice behind the cold, Lin Wanyi was taken aback.

Turning around, he saw the emperor in ordinary clothes, standing in the backyard with his hands up and down.

The distance between the two was only two steps away, and she didn't realize that there was someone behind her.

The emperor is here, why is there no one to tell him?

But seeing Qiu Ming and Xiao Luzi standing behind Dong Yuzhong with their heads bowed, while Chun Qi and Xia An were half-squatting and saluting in the porch of the backyard, they also understood the general idea.

"The concubine's disrespect, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Get up, I'm just here to take a look, so I didn't let them report."

Lin Wanyi got up, and there was still the "endgame" after they brewed green plum wine in the pavilion, feeling a little uncomfortable.

So he said to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please move to the main room, it's very messy here."

"What are you doing?"

"To make green plum wine, the maid and concubine thought that now is the time when green plums are delicious. If it is made into fruit wine, it can be stored for a longer time."

"You do have a sense of elegance. I remember that the last time I drank fruit tea in your palace."

Lin Wanyi smiled, her face was like peach blossoms in March.

"Your Majesty has a good memory."

"Well, when this green plum wine is ready, bring it to me for a taste. Fruit wine is rare."

Lin Wanyi let out a long sigh in her heart, she obviously prepared it for her elder brother, but now she was cut off by the emperor.

Even if she doesn't like it, she can't say no.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to make three cans, otherwise, if the emperor cared about it, how could I give this wine to my elder brother?
