This mountain is mine

Chapter 206

Everyone has been busy in the middle of the night, looking for a place to stay, only hastily drank some porridge to rest their stomachs, and hurried to wash up, and when they finished cleaning, it was already time for the cock to crow.

Yu Miaomiao went to bed early and got up early, and it was rare for her to stay up late, so she was already too sleepy, and when Zhao Man helped her take a bath, she couldn't help but fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, the scorching sun was already shining, and there was no one on the bed next to her. Zhao Man had woken up early, and she realized that this was not her home. Sniffing his nose, he smelled the faint aroma of wine floating in the air.

This is the winery in Shanghe County.

Yu Miaomiao was in a daze with her eyes open, when someone knocked lightly on the door a few times, Yu Miaomiao quickly came to her senses, it must not be Zhao Man who would knock on the door.

Zhao Man is full of evil tastes, he just likes to see her panicked, so he won't knock on the door.

Yu Miaomiao looked down at herself. The clothes were fairly neat, but a little wrinkled. Presumably, Zhao Man put them on for her. He probably went out on business. He was afraid that people would see her disheveled clothes, so he put them on for her in advance. Well, she didn't even wake up.

There were two more knocks on the door, and Yu Miaomiao hurriedly said, "Come in."

The door of the room was pushed open, and the sunlight poured in immediately. Against the light, a girl in pink clothes came. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, holding a copper basin in both hands, and it was still steaming. Through the mist, the pretty girl looked more like A budding flower bud.

Seeing Yu Miaomiao staring at her, she said generously, "Ma'am, my name is Lingzhi, and I'm here to help you freshen up."

When he was talking, he also looked at Yu Miaomiao curiously. Seeing that Yu Miaomiao was also sixteen or seventeen years old, he was a little surprised. He didn't hide his thoughts at all, and said in surprise: "Grandpa asked me to serve Madam this morning. I thought Madam must be Dignified and majestic, I never thought Madam would be so young."

Yu Miaomiao laughed, after experiencing so many things, she was never innocent and romantic. Although her real age is not very old, her psychological age is not young. Zhao Man is ten years older than her, and she is a real uncle in this day and age , but when she didn't let her, she was really too sensible.

Thinking of this, I suddenly feel very tired.

Ganoderma lucidum stared at her with big eyes and saw her smile. She was a little nervous before, but now there is nothing left. She helped Yu Miaomiao out of bed, and Yu Miaomiao teased her: "Are you saying that I am not dignified or dignified now? ?”

Ganoderma shook her head honestly, looked at Yu Miaomiao, stared at her for a while, and said suddenly: "The bad thing happened on those lips, the smiling ones really don't look majestic."

Yu Miaomiao was gargling, and almost spit out a sip of water, this girl is too real!
Seeing that Yu Miaomiao didn't scold her, Lu Lingzhi chattered endlessly when she cleaned her face and combed her hair, she was very familiar with it.

Ever since Yu Miaomiao woke up in Fangling, she has been busy all day long, trying her best to follow Zhao Man's footsteps. She never stopped, and she didn't have any friends. Counting it, she didn't even have a friend to whisper to.

Zhao Man has such a temperament, besides, he is also a busy person, and he doesn't understand women's sometimes reserved heart at all.

She only occasionally writes down her thoughts on paper with a pen, locks them in a drawer, and looks at them every once in a while before burning them.

At this time, listening to the young girl's crisp voice, telling her interesting stories about the winery and her own wine making, listening to it, I felt that my mood brightened.

After Lu Lingzhi combed Yu Miaomiao's hair into a simple bun and fed her breakfast, Yu Miaomiao knew her identity, origin and temper clearly.

Lu Lingzhi came from Li's winery with her grandfather Lu Chunqiu not long ago. She is not a girl in this winery. The Zhang family, the Murong family, and the Zhang family were all earlier, so they should be the first family to be exiled in Fangling. It is said that they came from the Lu Buwei family in the Qin Dynasty.

Since Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian was demoted to Luling King and distributed to Fangling, the Lu family has been brewing wine for the Li family, which is also a craft passed down from generation to generation.

Although wine making is a technical job, it is also a manual job. The winery is full of big men, and there are only a few women who cook the fire.

Lu Lingzhi is just at the age that loves to play, and she can't talk to those women and mothers-in-law, and she has no interest in what they say about the elders of the east and the weaknesses of the west.

I used to be able to go home at night and chat with my brothers and sisters, but recently, when winemaking is at a critical time, grandpa lives and boards in the winery, and she follows to learn how to make wine, and there is no one to talk to. , This is also ruthless.

It was hard to catch Yu Miaomiao, who was not a few years older than her. Although she was married, she was better than other women. Therefore, like dumping beans, she poured out all the words she had hidden to Yu Miaomiao.

"He came from Li's house not long ago?" Yu Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and guessed that Zhao Man must have done something. He dug someone from Li Sijin, and she asked, "Who are you, Guanshi Wu?"

"Steward Wu? Oh, I know, you are talking about Uncle Wu Zhishan, right? My grandfather is his uncle. Sister Yu, do you know him too?"

In just one breakfast, Lu Lingzhi's relationship with Yu Miaomiao has already been brought into Daocheng's sisterhood.

Yu Miaomiao really likes this straightforward girl, she doesn't have a heart, basically she is led by the nose by her words, a few or two sentences, she gets to the bottom of it, it can be seen that she is carefree and has no scheming, Yu Miaomiao also secretly I envy her, but everyone has their own destiny, and she is not dissatisfied with the status quo.

He also smiled at her and said, "Yes, he lives next door to our house now."

"So it is."

"Ganoderma lucidum, your grandfather taught you how to make wine, will it delay your study today?"

"Sister Yu, don't worry, grandpa has finished making wine koji today, and all the key points are done. You just need to put the last seed of Chen koji on the koji cake. I have already learned this, and I will do other things in the afternoon, so there will be no delay." .”

Yu Miaomiao nodded, looked at the smiling face in front of her, and smiled too, "That's good."

"By the way, Sister Yu, I have been brewing loquat wine for more than three months, and I can open the altar. This is the first time I brew fruit wine by myself. You have seen a lot, and you can help me taste it. I am going to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival. The wine fight will see if it can be improved."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yu Miaomiao to refuse, she ran out like a gust of wind.

Yu Miaomiao looked at her brisk back and thought it was funny.

She also came out of the house and wandered around the yard. The smell of wine was stronger than that in the room. She could vaguely hear men shouting. She followed the sound and walked out. The ancient recipe brewed, and she also wanted to see it. , the repeated distillation method she mentioned earlier is really not enough.

As she walked forward, the smell of the wine became stronger, but the alcohol must not be very strong, and there was a faint fragrance in the wine's aroma, which was different from the white wine she had smelled before, and it didn't smell bad.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard old man Lan's cheerful voice, "That's right, Shanghe rice wine is milky white, mild and mellow in nature, with a lingering and delicate fragrance. It really lives up to its reputation."

After Mr. Lan finished speaking, he heard the laughter of an old man. Obviously, he was very proud of Mr. Lan's praise, and he replied: "Bozhou wine has a dark brown juice, strong alcohol, and slightly flat aloe fragrance. Each has its own merits, each has its own merits... "

Old Man Lan had sharp eyes, and when he saw Li Miaomiao, he called her over. It was Lu Lingzhi's grandfather, Lu Chunqiu, who was talking to Old Man Lan, who was now the best brewer in Fangling.

Old Master Lan knew that Li Miaomiao's wine recipe had almost cheated the Yang family, so he assumed that she knew wine too, so he talked to her about the difference between Fangling wine and Bozhou wine.

It was Lu Chunqiu, who represented the Li family. As soon as Fangling Chunjiu came out, the Li family used their contacts to find out. Naturally, they knew that Yu Miaomiao created the method of repeated distillation.

He didn't have the blind love of Mr. Lan for Yu Miaomiao, and he could see clearly that Yu Miaomiao's previous repeated distillation didn't need to know brewing.

And because Yu Miaomiao's move gave Lu Chunqiu a lot of ideas, he complicated the brewing process, and the quality of the wine also changed. On the basis of distilled wine, he fermented it again. The distillation can be repeated, and the fermentation it is also fine.

Therefore, this generation of brewing masters has a friendly attitude towards Yu Miaomiao, saying a few words from time to time. Yu Miaomiao doesn't understand these things, but it's not easy to spoil the interest of the two old men. Most of the time, they concentrate on watching the workers making distiller's yeast.

She doesn't know much, but she also knows that music is the soul of wine.The quality of koji has a great influence on the quality of wine.No matter how good the subsequent brewing process is, if the koji is broken, the wine will be useless. If there is good koji, and the brewing process is improved, the wine will naturally not go bad.

Listening to Lu Chunqiu sternly directing the workers' movements, she asked curiously after the last piece of koji cake was put into the altar: "There are big koji, small koji, and red koji. Which kind is our koji?"

She had heard a lot of the various advertisements on TV before, such as Daqu Liquor and Xiaoqu Liquor. There was a brewing major in the Agricultural College, and Yu Miaomiao's class had a fellowship with a brewing major. She was a very shy boy, and when she had nothing to say, she had asked the other party this question when she was embarrassed to death, and she had a little understanding of it, so she just asked it casually at this time.

Lu Chunqiu heard the words and said: "Daqu, Xiaoqu? I have been brewing wine all my life, and I have been to many places to participate in wine fighting parties, and I have never heard of it."

Yu Miaomiao was stunned when she saw him looking over with burning eyes, and suddenly came to her senses, the distinction between Daqu and Xiaoqu hadn't come out yet.

With Lu Chunqiu's words, she just wanted to reason that she couldn't do it from the book.

She was too casual towards Zhao Man at home, but now she was outside, because she was relaxing for a while, she actually made such a mistake.
