Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 134

"Uncle Li, have you announced the types of wine we'll be selling next month?" Han Duyue asked hastily when he had an idea.

Li Kaishi shook his head, a little puzzled: "It's only the beginning of the month, so it's too early to say something like this? Do you want me to start promoting now? I don't think there is any need for it. There are already a lot of people buying wine. It is sold out early every day, and even if we don’t do publicity, we can still sell it next month.”

"That's not what I meant. It's best if you didn't say it." Han Duyue snapped his fingers and expressed his thoughts, "I didn't think carefully before and forgot that hawthorn wine has secondary fermentation. , if it can pass the secondary fermentation, after the secondary fermentation, the taste of the hawthorn wine will be more mellow and the color will be much better. Like the pomegranate you brought today, if you make fruit wine, it needs secondary fermentation , if this is the case, it will take about two months before the fruit wine can be sold, and the time will not be easy to grasp."

"So there is such a reason here, so how did you plan?" Li Kaishi raised his eyebrows.

"I think that if the fruit wine is preserved properly, it can actually be stored for a long time, so it's better to brew several kinds of fruit wine at a time. When the corresponding month comes, whichever works best will be the first to sell. Anyway, now we have The types of fruit wines to be sold were not announced.” Brewed together and then sold in batches, in fact, there is not much difference, but it can solve many unexpected problems.

Li Kaishi thought about it for a while, and thought it was a good idea, so he said: "Then what kind of fruit wine does Xiaoyue want to brew first? I only sent hawthorn here today. You tell me the fruit you need, and I will help you." Bought and delivered."

"Actually, most fruits can be made into fruit wine, but some are not commonly used, so as long as the fruit is ripe in this season, you can try it." The reason why Han Duyue said this is actually her temporary I really can't remember which fruits are available this month.

Li Kaishi thought for a while, and then asked: "Can ordinary fruits like apples and pears also work?"

"Yes, but pears are too sweet, maybe you need to add some lemon slices, it will be better," Han Duyue nodded again and again, her eyes lit up, she actually put apples and pears, two common fruits I forgot, "Now is the season for harvesting apples and pears, Uncle Li, can you buy some for me?"

This kind of fruit can be obtained without any effort, so Li Kaishi nodded naturally: "Okay, I will send it to you in a few days, but what is the lemon you mentioned?"

"Uh, this...is a kind of fruit. I've heard it said before," Han Duyue was a little helpless. She didn't consider whether there are lemons in this world. Judging from Li Kaishi's reaction at the moment, it seems that there is no such thing. Those who grow things, "Then don't use pears for now, and replace pears with plums, anyway, they are also ripe fruits at this time of year."

Li Kaishi didn't ask much about the lemon, and nodded directly.

The two chatted a little more, and finally decided to make four kinds of fruit wine together this month, namely hawthorn wine, pomegranate wine, apple wine, and pear wine.

After Song Da and Song Er brought the hawthorns out of the car, Li Kaishi also stood up: "I'll start preparing when I get back, and bring the things to you as soon as possible."

"Uncle Li, I want to go to the town with your carriage, and I may have to trouble you to send someone to take me back later." Ever since the address between the two changed, Han Duyue has not changed. Why are you being polite to Li Kaishi?

Li Kaishi raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to the town? Is there something wrong?"

"I'm going to the town to buy tea, the better kind." Han Duyue also has tea at home, but they are all very common. Since she wants to make friends with Li Hao, she naturally can't use this kind of tea to fool her people.

Li Kaishi couldn't help laughing: "Xiaoyue also knows how to taste tea?"

"I drink tea to quench my thirst. I don't know how to taste tea. I want to buy tea as a gift." Han Duyue rolled his eyes and shrugged.

Li Kaishi couldn't help laughing: "Then let's go, just as we can talk on the way."

Han Duyue and Han Qingmei explained a few words, and then followed Li Kaishi to the town. Li Kaishi did not take her to a tea shop, but sent someone back to fetch a packet of tea from his house: "West Lake Longjing, this tea was purchased at the beginning. It was 50 taels of silver a catty back then, but it’s not a new tea this year.”

When Han Duyue heard the price, she was startled, and she was relieved when she heard the second half of the sentence. Although she doesn't understand tea, she also knows whether tea is good or not. .

So although this tea is very expensive, after pressing it for a year, the value should probably lose a little, right?

"This tea is so good, will Uncle Li just give it to me like this?" After saying this, Han Duyue suddenly felt a little subtle in her heart. She took the tea from one Uncle Li and turned her head to give it to another Uncle Li. It really doesn't matter if you don't want to be subtle.

Li Kaishi rubbed Han Duyue's head: "It's a gift from Huajiao, take it quickly."

"Thank you, Uncle Li." Han Duyue took the tea.

"Actually, if you really want to make friends with someone, you don't necessarily have to spend more money. Sometimes your heart is more important." Li Kaishi knew that Han Duyue was a villain, but he couldn't help but mention a few words.

Han Duyue nodded with a smile: "Thank you Uncle Li for your guidance, then I'll go back first."

Back home, Han Duyue ate lunch, took Xiaonian with him, picked up tea and walked towards Li Hao's house, only to find that the courtyard door of Li Hao's house was locked when he got there.

Han Duyue stood at the door for a while, and was about to go home when she saw Li Hao walking over alone.

"Uncle Li." Han Duyue and Xiaonian yelled together.

Li Hao had a stern face at first, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He only noticed the two people when he heard the voice, and immediately eased his expression, showing a slight smile: "Why are you here? Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, we just came here," Han Duyue shook the tea leaves in his hand, and said with a smile, "We are here to deliver tea leaves to Uncle Li, as agreed before."

Li Hao laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and opened the door, and led the two children in: "I was just joking, but you actually took it seriously."

"Obviously we agreed, how can you say it's a joke." Han Duyue wrinkled her small nose, looking very cute.

Li Hao laughed a few times, and took the tea from Han Duyue's hand: "Then you sit down first, I'll make tea, there is no hot water at home, it may take a little longer."

"Let's go, Xiaonian and I often boil water at home, and it must be faster than Uncle Li." Han Duyue glanced around the yard, pointing to the small room beside him, "there is the stove Right? Then Xiaonian and I will go to boil water first, but we don’t know how to make tea, and Uncle Li will do it himself later.”

Li Hao was a little embarrassed for a moment. He was a big man living here, and he didn't consider many things thoughtfully enough. He was passing by on weekdays. Although he thought it shouldn't be done at this time, he didn't stop the two children: "Then you have to be careful. some."

"Uncle Li, don't worry." Han Duyue was used to doing these things at home. Although the environment was a little strange in a different place, he quickly boiled the hot water.

She went to the main room and brought the kettle on the table over, filled a pot of hot water, and then brought it back. Speaking of ancient times, there were no kettles, and it was really troublesome to boil hot water temporarily.

"Uncle Li, the hot water has already been boiled. Is there anything special about making tea? I used to boil water directly at home, and then pour in the tea leaves to make a bubble." Speaking of this, Han Duyue's An embarrassed smile appeared on his face, "Sometimes I also put sugar in the tea, because it makes the tea taste better."

If it was in the past, Li Hao might still pay attention to these things, but now he doesn't care anymore: "I also just soak the tea leaves in hot water, but I don't add sugar."

Han Duyue stuck out her tongue, pulled Xiao Nian to sit obediently aside, watched Li Hao open the bag of tea, sniffed it, and then squeezed a handful into the kettle.

"Is it West Lake Longjing from last year?" It took a while for the tea leaves to soak into the hot water, so Li Hao first sat down and chatted with Han Duyue.

Han Duyue nodded repeatedly, admiring Li Hao's ability to judge the tea variety and time just by asking: "It's indeed from last year, I hope Uncle Li won't dislike it."

"Even if it's from last year, it's still the first-class West Lake Longjing. It must be not cheap, right?" Li Hao looked at Han Duyue with some reproach.

Is it because this girl is too knowledgeable to repay her kindness, or is there some other reason in it?

Thinking of this, Li Hao glanced at Xiaonian who was obediently standing next to Han Duyue. The child looked very clever, and it seemed that he was the one who ran over to find him that night.

Han Duyue didn't dare to say that it cost 50 taels of silver a catty when she bought it, but said vaguely, "Uncle Li, are you busy on weekdays?"

"I'm usually fine." Generally speaking, for matters in the village, everyone would go to the village chief, and few people would come to him, so he was indeed quite free on weekdays.

Han Duyue nodded, and then asked cautiously: "Then Uncle Li has read a lot of books, and usually likes to write?"

When Han Duyue came to look for Li Hao that day, in addition to seeing the articles written by Li Hao, he also noticed that there were many books in his study.

"Why does Xiaoyue ask this? Do you want to borrow a book from me?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows, somewhat understanding Han Duyue's intention to get close to him.

Han Duyue scratched her head, and said straightforwardly: "Uncle Li, I want my brother to learn to read and write, but there is no private school in the village, so I wondered, can I ask Uncle Li to teach him in his free time? ?”
