Hard work

Chapter 136 Selling Wine

The next day Zang Lang slept until very late before getting up from the kang.When he got up, Lan Hua'er had already eaten breakfast, filled the water, wiped the inside and outside of the house, and almost prepared everything that should be prepared.

When Zang Lang got up and finished washing, Lan Huaer had already taken out the things that needed to be taken apart and washed in the house, and was going to take out the clothes and quilts that should be used in winter and play them again. The things that had been placed under the wooden box for half a year were poured out, so that they could be dried again, so that they would not smell musty when they were used in the future.

Lan Hua'er saved Zang Lang's breakfast and put it in the pot to cook warmly.

Zang Lang washed his face and ate his breakfast, and then went outside eagerly to find Lan Huaer.

Lan Hua'er didn't mind that he got up late, and greeted him with a smile, and asked:

"Alang, are you feeling better? Is your head still hurting?"

Zang Lang reached out and touched his head, thought for a while, and finally said:
"It's still a little uncomfortable."

Seeing him like that, Lan Hua'er couldn't help laughing, and wanted to tease him, so she put on a straight face and said:

"You are feeling uncomfortable right now. Why didn't you listen to me when I advised you to drink less. I told you to drink less, and you thought I was reluctant. What happened to you when you tossed about yesterday? Tell yourself I don’t know how to clean up by myself, why don’t you ask me to clean up for you when you turn around. Can you remember what you did yesterday? Hmph, I don’t think you can remember, it kept me busy all night. You will drink later Ah, I'm not stopping you, but after you're done drinking, roll outside and go to sleep on your own, I don't want to talk to you drunk again."

Zang Lang was stunned after hearing this.

He originally felt a little embarrassed because he got up late, and felt that he was not diligent enough.Now being told by Lan Hua'er, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Lan Hua'er glanced at him, ignored him, turned around and threw the washed clothes on the rope to dry.Because the quilt is hanging to dry, the rope is tied very high, and Lan Hua'er is very reluctant to stand on tiptoe.And because I had to hold the wet clothes and quilts that had just been washed and throw them on the rope, so the front of the clothes were all wet.

Zang Lang stayed there for a long time, and saw Lan Hua'er padding her feet to dry the quilt on the rope, and then remembered to go forward to help.

He really couldn't remember what he did after he got drunk last night, and he was still dazed and groggy when he woke up today, and he was not quite sober until now.

Lan Hua'er seldom really said anything harshly to him.Even when staring at him, it was often just a joke with him.He didn't know if he really did something too much yesterday to make the little lady unhappy.

But he struggled by himself for a long time, and he really couldn't muster up the courage to ask Lan Hua'er what he did when he was drunk last night.

He was very entangled in this mood, and always felt that if he really did something bad, he should ask the little lady carefully, and then apologize and make up for it.But he was also afraid of what he had really done. It was okay if he didn't know now, but if he really knew, it would be even more embarrassing, and he didn't know what to do.

Lan Hua'er secretly glanced at Zang Lang, and saw him pulling out the contents of the wooden basin to dry in the sun, knowing what he said just now had shaken him, so she secretly pursed her lips and smiled, I didn't care about him, left the basin of clothes and walked into the house.

When Zang Lang saw Lan Hua'er walking away, he became even more flustered, thinking that he had really done something that made people angry, and his little lady couldn't get angry when she thought about it, so she left him and left.

He scratched his head while drying clothes outside, almost scratching his head.

After Lan Hua'er turned around and entered the room, she took two small wooden barrels, scooped most of the barrels of clear glutinous rice wine and glutinous rice wine with distiller's grains, and put them in the two barrels separately.

She tasted it before, and felt that the newly steamed glutinous rice wine was still a bit strong.Yesterday Zang Lang drank a little and got drunk like that - thinking of the drunk last night, Lan Hua'er couldn't help but think of Zang Lang holding her hand, looking at her with shining eyes and praising her for her beauty, with a face full of tolerance Can't help but red.

When she saw other people steaming wine before, the person in charge of steaming wine once told her that the first tune is the best, and the wine that is steamed after distiller's lees and water is not so mellow, and the degree is not good. Qu so high.

At that time, it seemed to be able to reach [-] degrees when it was steamed.

But Lan Hua'er always felt that the ancient distiller's yeast might not be as good as the modern one, and it might not be able to reach this degree.Otherwise, if Zang Lang drank so much yesterday, he would not be simply drunk, and he would probably be poisoned by alcohol.

But even if the opening song is less than sixty degrees, it can still be in forty degrees.

She spooned some water, poured it directly into the bucket, mixed it with the wine, and stirred it evenly with a spoon.

There is no need to boil the water at all, it can be mixed with wine directly from the well.It is estimated that it is because the alcohol content is high enough to have a bactericidal effect.Anyway, Lan Hua'er has never seen anyone boil a large pot of hot water first when mixing wine.

After blending, the taste of the wine was indeed clearer, and even the smell of the wine was much lighter after drinking it.Just smelling the pure head song makes people feel drunk.

After the wine was mixed, Lan Hua'er went outside and called Zang Lang into the house.

As soon as she got outside, she saw that Zang Lang had already dried the clothes.After he finished drying his clothes, he still stood blankly in front of the clothesline, standing there stupidly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lan Hua'er called out "A Lang", and he slowly turned around, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked:

"Little lady, what did I... what did I do yesterday?"

Zang Lang had a tragic expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking of, as if he was going to kneel down to apologize in the next moment, which made Lan Huaer, who originally wanted to tease him and let him learn a lesson, couldn't bear it anymore stand up.

But she said before that Zang Lang was annoying when he was drunk last night, and she couldn't tell him directly that you didn't do anything last night, but just dragged my hand and praised me.

And Zang Lang looked at her anxiously, Lan Hua'er always felt that if she said something serious, this guy would throw himself into a well in grief and indignation.Although she didn't know why she felt this way.

Lan Hua'er thought about it, and said to him:
"You didn't do anything yesterday. It's just really annoying. You kept talking about one meaning back and forth. When talking to you, you always said that you understood it, but then you repeated what you said before. You also yelled for a drink. .I gave you honey water but you refused to drink it. I coaxed you to say that it was wine, but you believed it. After drinking a bowl, you started holding the barrel and wanted to vomit on the ground. Let you go You are not happy with life and death on the kang, so you have to sit on the threshold. Fortunately, you woke up later and went to sleep on the kang by yourself. Otherwise, I really want to throw you outside to freeze for a night. Who would like it? take care of you?"

After hearing this, Zang Lang was a little relieved and a little embarrassed, so he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, saying:

"I... I won't drink alcohol in the future."

Lan Huaer glanced at him:
"No one will stop you from drinking alcohol. But you are a little restrained when you eat, just drink to your heart's content, and you have to pour yourself down? It's just that you are willing to drink and vomit so that you are not afraid of hurting your body. You haven't had so much wine to defeat you yet."

Zang Lang scratched his head in embarrassment, and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was finally being honest, Lan Huaer felt relieved, called him into the room, pointed to the two barrels of wine that had just been mixed, and told him:
"I made the wine yesterday. Try to go around the village today to see if you can sell some. You see, one barrel is clear, and the other is mixed with distiller's grains. The clear one is 25 renminbi a scoop, and the distiller’s lees is mixed with [-] renminbi a scoop. If someone doesn’t know how it tastes, you can spoon a little and let everyone taste it. I don’t expect you to sell a lot when you walk around, just try it. How about the business in the village? It’s almost noon, I’ll bring you two pancakes, will you come back for dinner at night?”

Zang Lang felt that he had done something stupid from the very beginning, and he had been silently blaming himself. Now that Lan Huaer assigned him some work, he naturally nodded hurriedly, went outside to find a pole for carrying water, and put the The cask was covered and picked up to go outside.

Lan Hua'er heated two pancakes for him, wrapped them in oiled paper, tied them to the pole, and let Zang Lang go out.

This is her first time doing business in the village.

She had made some food before, but after all, she felt that it was not good to sell it in the village.Because the raw materials are all readily available, the relationship in the village is good, and the favor is layered, so it is not easy to charge others.

But this wine is a rare thing, and it is the time when the new year is approaching.

Their glutinous rice wine is not expensive.If you are in the town, you need at least 35 Wen to make a scoop of wine, and it is the most disadvantaged wine with the lowest alcohol content.This kind of glutinous rice wine, Lan Hua'er has never drunk it in this era.

It's just that she thought that she didn't need to pay the shop rent, and this time it was a new attempt, so she sold the wine so cheaply.

The glutinous rice that has been steamed before is not disposable, and can be steamed with water several times later, and a lot of glutinous rice wine can be obtained.Moreover, she originally wanted to distill the wine for her own use at home, so if she could sell some of the wine this time, it would be regarded as earning some extra money.

That is to say, Zang Lang was at home every day, so she dared to do business in the village openly.
