Chapter 185 The Kind Fourth Uncle

Yan Xiaowan saw that he had figured it out, so she stopped talking and shifted the topic to brewing fruit wine, which was the most important thing.

She thought for a moment and suggested: "Uncle San, our top priority is to brew the wine first, and the first batch of fruit wine must be of high quality and in a certain quantity. So I would like to ask you to go back tomorrow morning and invite Uncle over. Let's make the first batch of wine first."

Lin Laicai just thought of this, and nodded without any hesitation: "Okay, I will rush back tomorrow morning."

Yan Xiaowan looked up at the sky, got up and walked out: "Look at the sun, the fourth uncle should have returned from buying fruit on the street, let's go out to meet him."

Naturally, Lin Laicai had no objection, and followed her out: "Xiao Wan, you seem to have mentioned that you need to use white sugar last time, didn't you?"

"Well, third uncle, why did you mention this all of a sudden?" Yan Xiaowan immediately stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Lin Laicai.

Lin Laicai is smart, wise, eloquent, good at being a man, and has made many friends outside.As the saying goes, if you have more friends, it's easy to travel. He has accepted the favor of others. Now that the family has business to do, he will naturally consider his friends first.

"I have some good friends in the city, and one of them is a sugar producer. You tell me the number later, and I will go to buy it from him. His white sugar is good, and his character is trustworthy. I plan to tell him home for long-term business.”

Yan Xiaowan smiled slightly when she heard the words: "The fourth uncle bought six catties of pears, used nearly a catty of sugar, and made about three catties of wine. Third uncle, we need a lot of sugar. If that uncle can supply it , that would of course be the best."

Lin Laicai raised a question: "According to what you said, if we want to brew one hundred catties of pear wine, we need more than 30 catties of sugar. Then if we brew apple wine, and the mulberry wine you mentioned, is it Isn't the ratio of sugar used is similar?"

Yan Xiaowan didn't say enough, and left some leeway: "The specific dosage will not be known until the brewing process, but I don't think there will be too much difference."

Lin Laicai solved the important matter on his mind, and said with a happy face: "Well, I know the approximate amount of sugar used. I will go back to your Uncle Xu and ask. If his family can afford it, then we will do this with him." A deal. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll think of other ways.”

Xu Zhihu is one of the few close friends of his. The Xu family has excellent conduct. It would be the best if we could do business with them.

Yan Xiaowan nodded with a smile, she knew that Lin Laicai was very popular, and all the friends she made were like-minded.As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and things of a feather flock together.The brothers of the Lin family have excellent conduct, and the friends they make are similar.

Just as the nephew and uncle finished speaking, they were about to go outside when they heard the sound of the wooden door opening, and then Lin Laifu came in carrying a basket of fruit: "Xiaowan, I just met an old woman on the street, and she has grown several varieties in the backyard. A mountain grape, I went and took it back. Do you think this mountain grape may be used?"

Lin Laifu didn't go into too much detail. The old granny only had her and a five-year-old little girl at home. In order to have enough food, the old granny had to take her little girl to beg on the street.

When Lin Laifu was picking fruits outside, he happened to see some hooligans bullying her. He couldn't see it and helped the old lady out.In order to thank him, the old lady insisted on giving him her wild grapes for free as a reward, so he naturally disagreed with taking other people's wild grapes for nothing.

At first he wanted to buy it with money, but the old lady refused to agree, and said that even if he gave her money, he would not be able to protect it.He thought for a while, and finally went to the grain store and bought twenty catties of coarse grains and stuffed them to the old woman, and ran back with the basket on his shoulders.

Yan Xiaowan didn't know that her fourth uncle didn't leave a name for his good deeds, and he just thought that he simply went to harvest grapes: "Fourth uncle, this grape looks good, and the fruit wine it produces must not be bad. Where did you harvest the grapes?" ? But there are still leftovers? If there are any, we will take them all back tomorrow.”

Lin Laifu's eyes flickered slightly, he hesitated whether he should tell the truth, but he finally told the truth to his niece's trusting gaze: "Xiao Wan, I didn't actually take back these grapes, but I used them with that old woman. In exchange for twenty catties of coarse grains."

These mountain grapes are not very delicious, and few people buy them when they are sold on the street.Twenty catties of coarse grains could be exchanged for three to five baskets, but Lin Laifu was pure in heart, seeing how pitiful the old woman and little girl were, he gave them a lot of coarse grains.

"Where does the old lady live? Do you have any leftover grapes?" Yan Xiaowan didn't ask too much, she knew that the men in Lao Lin's family were kind-hearted, and respecting the old and loving the young was the rule they followed since childhood.

Seeing that she didn't ask for more details, Lin Laifu breathed a sigh of relief: "I still have three or four baskets. But I'm worried that the old woman will give it to us for nothing. We can't take advantage of others for nothing, let alone bring the little one with us. An old woman whose granddaughter has a hard life."

Lin Laicai agreed with his younger brother's approach very much, and said: "How did you change it today, let's do it tomorrow."

Yan Xiaowan has always been a man of action. When she saw this high-quality mountain grape, she immediately made a decision: "Fourth uncle, move this mountain grape to the yard first. Third uncle, please estimate the weight of this basket of mountain grapes. Please go and buy enough." The sugar and a few high-quality wine jars came back. Taking advantage of the freshness of the mountain grapes, my fourth uncle and I will start brewing them later, and you can just use them when you come back from shopping."

After Lin Laicai finished speaking, he turned around and went out: "Okay, I'll go right away."

When he walked away, Lin Laifu asked with a somewhat awkward expression: "Xiao Wan, did I do something wrong?"

Yan Xiaowan lowered her head and rummaged through the mountain grapes. Almost every bunch she handled was full of grains and full of water, which made her happy.

She looked up at Lin Laifu in astonishment, not quite understanding why he asked such a question: "Ah? Fourth Uncle, why do you say that?"

Lin Laifu has lived in poverty for more than ten years, and he is very aware that every penny in the family is precious. He spent so much money in exchange for this basket of wild grapes in a moment of madness, which is too extravagant.

"The mountain grapes are not worth much. I exchanged twenty catties of coarse grain for such a basket. Isn't it worth it?"

"If you only talk about the value of this mountain grape, it's not worth it."

Yan Xiaowan replied solemnly. Seeing Lin Laifu's gloomy eyes, she suddenly smiled and said, "But fourth uncle, our family does not lack that little money now. The money you spend is not to buy grapes, but to help grandma. In this way It's not a business anymore, so there's no saying it's worth it or not.

Lin Laifu lowered his head and said slowly: "That grandma's legs and feet are not good, she can't do work, and she is begging outside with her little granddaughter. I think of your grandma who worked so hard to bring us brothers up..."

　The men of the Lin family are so kind, (*^__^*) I have something to do at home these days, so I don’t have time to code words until late~
