small farm girl in pastoral space

Chapter 161 Leather
He Lianfeng is busy looking for the murderer, while Mu Qiu is busy making wine with Tong Hao.The grapes in the field are all ripe, and those that need to be sold have been divided in advance.The grapes for making wine are specially selected by Mu Qiu. Although she is not good at this aspect, at least she has some superficial knowledge, and the rest is to slowly explore.

Making wine is a big project, and Mu Qiu and Tong Hao almost mobilized the entire Zhuangzi to participate in it.The first is to wash the grapes, and it is required not to let the grape skins seep into the raw water.The people in the village are all used to rough work, so it is inevitable that they did not grasp the severity when doing this work, so some grapes were damaged.

However, the work after drying the water was relatively easy. It took almost two full days for Mu Qiu to successfully put the grapes into the jar.The tanks used for fermentation are more precisely large tanks, which are commonly used for wine making.So many grapes were only put into four large tanks, Qingzhu felt a little pity looking at it.You must know that these grapes have already been sold at sky-high prices in Beiliang City, because there are only so many of them and they are tributes, so there is no need to worry about no one buying them.

Mu Qiu participated in almost the whole process, including the seemingly simple and effortless work of pinching grapes.As a result, at the end of the day, Mu Qiu felt as if his fingers had been broken, and his shoulders were so sore that he couldn't lift them.

"I'm exhausted. I used to see people doing it very easily, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring!" Mu Qiu complained to himself.But she forgot that there are machines in the modern society, not all manual work in ancient times.

Mu Qiu can finally take a break after all the busy work. The process of grape fermentation must be watched at all times, so she has become a long-term visitor to the plantation base.

The weather is getting colder, the grapes in the village have been harvested, and there is nothing else to do for the time being.Several children gathered around the only persimmon tree in the village, holding long bamboo poles in their hands, trying to reach the ripe persimmons on the high branches.

Looking at them, Mu Qiu remembered the past. When they were young, their family also had such a tall persimmon tree, and there was only grandma and herself in the house.Grandma doesn't know how to climb trees, and she is afraid that Mu Qiu will fall from the tree, so she doesn't let her climb.When the persimmons are ripe, grandma will also use a long bamboo pole to knock down the persimmons from the tree. Although the persimmons fall to the ground and shatter, Mu Qiu will never forget the sweet taste.

"Lu Yi, let's go, let's pick persimmons too!"

"Ah? Miss, do you want to eat persimmons? I'll let someone pick them for you!"

"How can someone else's pick taste as delicious as the one you pick?"

The children stopped fighting when they saw Mu Qiu. Their adults all said that their family lived a good life because of the young lady in front of them, so they all respected Mu Qiu in their hearts.Seeing that Mu Qiu also wanted to pick persimmons, the kid holding the bamboo pole boldly handed it to her: "Sister, I'll use it for you..."

Mu Qiu waved his hand, smiled and said, "No need for this, I'll go to the tree and pick it for you!"

"No... no, Miss!" Lu Yi's eyes widened in fright.Where did you hear that the eldest lady can climb trees?This is simply appalling!
Mu Qiu has long wanted to try the feeling of climbing a tree. When she was a child, she saw the children from the same village swinging around on the tree. She was very envious.

How could Luyi's slender arms and legs stop her, the distance from the bottom of the tree to the first branch was not very high, and Mu Qiu quickly climbed up.She picked persimmons on top, and the children below clapped their hands in admiration.

"Mu Qiu!" A roar from under the tree caused Mu Qiu to look down.

"Tong Hao, you are here! Do you want some persimmons?" Mu Qiu shook the persimmons in his hand.

"What kind of persimmons are you eating, why don't you come down quickly!" Tong Hao stared at the figure on the tree with a serious expression on his face, fearing that Mu Qiu would fall from the tree in the next second.

"Okay, okay, I'll come down now." Mu Qiu was still holding two persimmons in her hand, maybe she was too confident in her ability, she didn't drop the persimmons, and then just slid down the tree like this .

Tong Hao's worry was not unreasonable, and he also blamed Mu Qiu for being too skinny. Seeing that there were still two branches that could fall down, she lost her grip at this time, and slipped her hands and fell from the tree.
