Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 226

Who knows, there will be unexpected events, and now, she was sent back by the emperor, and the father saw that there was no hope, so he abandoned their mother and daughter.

Watching the long carriage procession of Qi's family going to Yunzhou slowly leave the capital, Qi Xiang's mother bumped into the stone lion at the gate of Yushi's Mansion, bloody on the spot.

Qi Xiang looked at it and ran over, foolishly hugging her mother with blood all over her face, whispering something softly in her mouth?
Sensing her presence, her mother struggled to open her eyes to look at her, and then slowly closed them.

In fact, Qiu Yongzheng didn't want Qi Xiang's mother and daughter to end in such a dismal way, he just didn't want to see such a woman dangling around him every day.

Xu Xiaomi didn't know that Qiu Yongzheng had done a lot for her, and she continued to do what she thought she should do.

She asked Aofeng and Lufeng to look for it near Guilin Village, and a dozen plasterers came to the house to complete the wine roasting stove and fermentation tank that she had drawn.After the corn is recovered and dried, the wine can be started.

At this time, the wild geese had already flown south.The rice in the field is golden, rushing in waves as the wind blows.

Seeing the plump grains of rice, Xu Xiaomi felt infinite emotion in his heart.At that time, she was very anxious after the heavy rain, fearing that it would affect the harvest, but now it seems to be fine, and this year is another bumper harvest year.

In the field on the bank of the embankment by the river in the distance, Qingfeng and his long-term laborers are already busy in full swing, using threshers to start harvesting rice.

It is unrealistic to put so much rice this year in the house in Qinglong Town. We can only build a new house in the old house in Xujia Village after leveling the ruins.

However, now I have to be busy harvesting and returning.However, the crops in this winter are not exciting, and the harvest can be slowed down.

She planned to ask Qingfeng and the others to finish harvesting the almost fields by the river, dry some of them first, and then harvest the other fields.

During this period, she can let them level out the ruins first.At that time, when it comes to repairing a house, the foundation will be laid directly.

Xu Xiaomi's plan is progressing smoothly step by step.

These days, Qingfeng and the long-term workers are busy going in and out, and the rice in the field is almost finished harvesting.However, the winemaking workshop that Xu Xiaomi hired in Qinglong Town was also completed.

Xu Xiaomi looked at the newly built wine stove, and the thirty one-meter-wide and two-meter-long fermentation tanks that were smoothed with lime and fine sand.

Xu Xiaomi was very excited, this is the stuff for wine making!Finally, my wish can come true!

It's just a pity that the person who most wants to see her make good wine is now separated from her.

Xu Xiaomi remembered that he once told Xu Yaowu that he wanted to brew the best wine in Dazhou, but before he had time to make wine, he had already died because of himself.

When Xu Xiaomi thought about the past, his eyes gradually blurred.A mist formed in the eyes.She hurriedly raised her head, letting the tears back slowly.

She has to make the nutrient mud for wine fermentation first.

Pit mud ingredients: clay, vegetable garden soil or peat soil, soybean meal, Daqu powder, aromatic yeast, fermented grains, nutrient salt, caproic acid bacteria liquid, yellow water, white wine, etc.

Pit mud ingredients are for the growth and reproduction of caproic acid bacteria, which is beneficial to the production of ethyl caproate.

After finishing these things, Xu Xiaomi was already sweating profusely.She put the nutritious mud in the sun to heat it up, and then packed it in a large wooden barrel made of antiseptic. The mouth of the barrel was covered with sackcloth and covered with a wooden lid.

It is sealed in this way, and it can be used after the rice is harvested.

She took the corn back from Wulipo, picked out the full grains and put them aside for later use.

She asked Xiaoxiang to go to Jinquan County at night, and went to her uncle's blacksmith's shop to get a big iron pot with a domed lid that she had made before going to Dingzhou.

Three days later, Xu Xiaomi's 300-acre field in Xujia Village finally finished harvesting the rice.

She asked Qingfeng to bring the masons who were repairing wine in Qinglong Town to the old house in Xujia Village to break the ground and lay the foundations to build the house.

But he started the brewing project in Qinglong Town.

She asked Hongxia and the others to take out the corn she had picked earlier, wash it with clean water, and pour it into a pot for cooking.

Put the boiled corn on the clean ground and let it cool.

In this way, they cooked one pot after another and let it cool, then added the nutritional mud that Xu Xiaomi had prepared in advance in proportion, and then shoveled it into the fermentation tank with a shovel, and poured the nutritional mud on top to seal it.

After the first pot was ready, I started to make the second pot. In this way, I made six pots in one afternoon and sealed them up. It will take a month to wait for the release.

She plans to continue doing it tomorrow. Anyway, she has prepared [-] fermentation tanks. When all the fermentation tanks are filled, the first tank will have been fermented.

At that time, they can be distilled one by one. Xu Xiaomi is looking forward to the wine she made herself, so that people in Dazhou and even more countries can drink it.

Time passed day by day, and they finally filled all the fermentation tanks.

This afternoon, Xu Xiaomi reached into the first fermentation vat, twisted two fermented corn and tasted it, the taste was already sour.

She hurriedly asked Hongxia and the others to quickly follow what she said and get the fermented corn out of the fermentation tank.

Pour it into the large conical iron pot that Xiaoxiang brought back, and she went to the stove below by herself, lit the fire and put large pieces of charcoal into the stove.

Hongxia and the others above have also poured all the fermented corn into the pot.

Xu Xiaomi took out a thing with an iron frame on the bottom and a cylinder on the top, and put the iron pipes bent at both ends into the round holes on the top of the cauldron and the round holes on the top of the cylinder.

Then install a small iron pipe with a bend at one end of about eight inches, and install it at the bottom of the cylinder about five inches from the bottom of the cylinder, with the bend facing downward, and a large wooden barrel is placed underneath.

In this way, more than half an hour later, the sound of gurgling was heard in the catastrophe.

After more than ten minutes, I saw a crystal liquid flowing out of the small tube on the cylinder drop by drop, and the wine smelled mellow and strong.

Later, the liquid flowing out of the small elbow can be connected in a straight line.

At this time, the smell of wine permeated the whole workshop.Later, the entire sky of Qinglong Town was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

It was the first time for the people in Qinglong Town to smell such a fragrant wine, and they all chased to find the place where the aroma of the wine wafted out.

Yu Zhimo smelled the aroma of wine, walked out of the house to the street, and looked for it in the direction where the aroma of wine wafted out.

Finally, they came to the back door of Xu Xiaomi's house.The aroma of wine here is even stronger.

Yu Zhimo inhaled the aroma of wine in the air, and kept patting the back door of Xu Xiaomi's house.

Shouted to the courtyard: "Girl, open the door, open the door quickly!"

The long-term worker at home heard it, and went to open the door, and Yu Zhimo rushed in.When he walked into the yard, his eyes sparkled when he saw the crystal clear liquid in the big wooden barrel.

"Girl! What are you doing? What is dripping from this barrel...?"

Yu Zhimo approached and climbed on the wooden barrel, sniffing vigorously with his nose, and asked excitedly.

Xu Xiaomi was in a particularly good mood today, and replied with a smile: "Uncle Yu, this is the wine I brewed! Do you still remember that I said that I want to brew the best wine in Dazhou? Hehe..."

"Remember, remember! Your wine is really the best in Da Zhou, can you get some for Uncle later?"

Yu Zhimo asked with a thick old face.

"Yes! However, I can only drink a little today, because this wine has to be put into the sea of ​​wine to grow, and the taste of this wine is not very good today."

Yu Zhimo was so happy when he heard that he could drink this delicious wine today!
At this moment, all the people near her house came to the door and called for the door, Yu Zhimo hurriedly ran to the door to lock it.

Facing the door, he said: "Are you here to come to see the wine? You can't drink this wine today. When it's ready to drink, let's sell it again!"

The neighbors outside the door heard this, and they talked a lot: "This doctor Yu is really moving faster and faster. He is already at Miss Xu's house so soon!"

"Yes! Yes! Do you know the relationship between Dr. Yu and Ms. Xu? They are called uncles and nephews."

"Oh! No wonder! He knew right away that they were related."

"..."

Today's Xu Xiaomi is already a wealthy person, within a distance of thirty miles, he can be regarded as one of the best people.

Many families with men of the right age dragged matchmakers to propose marriage many times but were rejected.

Now that they knew the relationship between Yu Zhimo and Xu Xiaomi, some people started to think differently.

On this day, Xu Xiaomi was busy brewing wine with his family and slaves.

Yu Zhimo was also treating the last patient in the pharmacy. At this time, a man in his twenties, wearing a dark purple satin robe and a small square hat, walked in from the door with a calm face.

Yu Zhimo didn't care, he just treated him as a patient and asked him to sit behind the patient and wait.

As soon as the man came in, he looked around with those bony eyes.Yu Zhimo thought he was looking at the environment here.

However, Yu Zhimo called the man in purple to sit down when Zhimo finished reading the last patient and prescribed the prescription for the drug boy to take the medicine.

As soon as the man sat down, he brought his alcohol-smelling mouth to Yu Zhimo's ear and said, "Doctor Yu, Xiaosheng didn't come to see a doctor, but Xiaosheng came to ask you to be a matchmaker."

Yu Zhimo looked at him with his head tilted, and asked seriously: "Whose girl do you have your eye on? Yu is not a matchmaker!"

The man in purple said: "I know! I know! Xiaosheng put a lot of thought into this marriage! That girl is the well-known Miss Xu Xiaomi!"

When Yu Zhimo heard what he said, he blinked his eyes and thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency, do you know that Miss Xu is engaged to someone? Do you know who is the person who is engaged to her?"

The man in purple rolled his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
