Shanwa Small Rich Farmers

Chapter 380: brewing

   "Uncle, shall we still pick grapes this afternoon?"

   After finishing the meal, a little guy raised his head and asked Wen Xu.

Wen Xu's head was about to explode when he asked this question, and he stretched out his hand and flicked a bean on the little guy's forehead: "What did you pick? What did you pick in the morning? Don't pick it up. After eating, honestly take the money." , go to the pond and play with your water!"

"Oh!"

  The little guy covered his head and answered.

  Shi Shangzhen and Shen Qi covered their mouths, gleefully, while Teacher Ma and Mr. Chi also had the same smiles on their faces.

"One thousand and five, including a meal, it's almost two thousand yuan. In exchange for less than three baskets of grapes, you planted these grapes yourself. Wen Xu, big money, are you really good at it?" Shi Shangzhen said It's not ambiguous at all when it comes to warmth.

   What can Wen Xu say now? I had to glance at her: "I'm rich, I'm self-willed, and I'm willing!"

   "Haha, the dead duck is still stubborn, so you continue to be willful!"

   "I..." Wen Xu just ignored her.

  Master Chi asked Wen Xu: "You said you want to make wine, have you prepared all the tools?"

   "The simple things are almost done, except for the wine barrel," Wen Wen said.

Wenxu prepared yeast for his wine, and a dozen large glass bottles with narrow mouths. About three glass bottles can fill a wooden barrel. For the first time, Wenxu is preparing to brew three wooden barrels. One is space. One is made from grapes grown in space, and the last one is made directly from grapes grown outside. Anyway, whichever tastes right in the end will continue to be brewed. As for the large number of glass bottles, Wen Xu's purpose is to prevent miscalculations. Anyway, keep them ready and don't take up space.

The tools needed for self-brewing wine are also quite simple, nothing more than a few glass bottles, and sugar and the like. Wen Xin has already organized the steps according to her own records. The only thing that has not been done now is a few hardwood barrels. Wen Xu didn't plan to use oak, but planned to use the unique wood in his own space. Wen Xu didn't pay special attention to it. Everything was based on his own convenience, and he directly used the hardwood in his own space to make aging barrels.

  Mr. Chi just asked casually here, and didn't expect Wen Xu to brew any good wine.

   In the following time, a few adults served a group of children for dinner, and after serving the group of little ancestors, the adults only talked about eating.

   "I won't order these boys next time," said warmly.

Not to mention anything else, just say that after eating this meal, Wen Xu felt as if she had peeled off a layer of skin. There is no time for these little things to eat together, either I hit you, or you scratched Me, it's really a headache, it's not so worry-free at all in the morning.

   "You should have thought about it." Teacher Ma said with a smile: "People of our age sometimes have a headache when raising children, let alone your age!"

   "What about the leftover grapes?" Mr. Chi said, "How about I help you collect them tomorrow morning. I don't think I can eat them in one day. Two or three days will be fine, right?"

"No need, wait until the afternoon and I'll go find the older children in the village, junior and senior high school students, and those who are not in the graduating class. If you have nothing to do, please come over. I will give you a hundred wages a day, and then I will order a set of boxed meals from the kitchen. It’s about the same, a dozen or so children work harder, and it’s probably about the same in one morning.”

  Wen Xu made up his mind to get down to business, stop thinking about anything wrong, and honestly invite those who are actually working to come over and help.

  Hearing what Wen Xu said, Mr. Chi thought for a while before nodding.

After they finished their meal, Shi Shangzhen, Shen Qi and Teacher Ma cleaned up the kitchen and washed the dishes and chopsticks along the way. Mr. Chi went back to his laboratory to supervise the students' work. Naturally, Wen Xu went out. Let's go to the door to invite people from the He style to help harvest the grapes tomorrow. When I heard that Wen Xu invited people, everyone was naturally very enthusiastic. In a short while, eighteen or nine people were gathered.

With these eighteen or nine people, it took less than three hours to arrive at the vineyard the next day, and all the grapes were harvested. Not only the grapes were harvested, but the boys and girls also helped With warmth, he picked out all the rotten grapes from the bunches in the basket.

   How can I say that there is a saying in this world that getting twice the result with half the effort and getting twice the result with half the effort.

By the time the kitchen delivered the boxed meals, everyone's work had already been done, the older kids were always a bit restrained, not as shameless as the little ones, so Wen Xu sent out the meals and wages together , let them take it home and eat it.

  Shi Shangzhen was a little dumbfounded looking at the twenty baskets of grapes in the room, and asked Wen Wen: "What are you going to do?"

   "What should I do? Didn't I talk about wine making!"

  Wen Xu scratched his head when he saw so many grapes, because Wen Xu really didn't expect that such a large vineyard could grow so many grapes, which was at least half more than what he expected. In this case, with the grapes in the space, at least four or five barrels of wine will be needed.

   "Are you done drinking in the Year of the Monkey?"

Although the two of them haven't made it public yet, this matter is almost at the end of the day. Shi Shang has already regarded himself as a half-hostess in his heart, and now he looks at the living room full of grapes, and naturally begins to frown up.

Shi Shangzhen has less confidence in the wine made by Wen Xu than Mr. Chi, and thinks it is not too bad to drink. In addition, Wen Xu doesn't drink any wine himself, and if he drinks it, he only drinks a small amount of white wine. He may not see it in a red year Drink it a few times, now that so many grapes are turned into wine, even if it is delicious, in Shi Shangzhen's opinion, Wen Xu probably won't be able to drink the wine in his lifetime.

   What's more, these grapes, not to mention Shi Shangzhen, should not be called grapes in Mr. Chi's view. Not to mention Mr. Chi, when the grapes came back, they didn't even want to smell the big flowers and the second flowers. As soon as they saw the grapes, they immediately turned around and ran away. You must know that these are two bears. There is almost nothing in nature that they don't eat. Now They don't even want to eat them, which shows that the grapes are almost hopeless.

   "Besides, so many grapes can't be placed in the living room all the time, they take up more space," Shi Shangzhen said.

  Wen Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that what she said was right, and it would be a good thing to make wine by herself without her being around. Wen Xu wished that Shi Shang would really ignore it.

  So he said: "Well, I'll get them to my studio right away, wait for the wine to age, and then transport them back to the underground wine cellar at home."

   "Well, that's a good idea!"

  As long as you don’t put it in front of yourself and let yourself see it, Shi Shangzhen thinks it’s a good idea.

   "Then move quickly, I'll tidy up the house here," Shi Shangzhen said.

Hearing what she said, Wen Xu went out again and brought Dabai back, moved the grape basket from the living room to the door, and put it on Dabai's back. Because the distance was short, Dabai carried four baskets of grapes at a time, and carried them directly into the studio , Back and forth five times just to move all the grapes.

After driving Dabai out of the yard to graze again, Wen Xu turned around and returned to the studio. After closing the door and locking it, Wen Xu put the four baskets of grapes into the space, and followed him into the space. There was a big wooden basin in the space. The thing was bought by Wen Xin, what was it used for, it was used to break the skin of the grapes when making wine, to put it bluntly, the grape skin was squeezed.

   There are many ways to crush, such as pinching with hands, but the method used by Wen Xu is simpler, just step on it!

  It sounds disgusting to step on it. Even if you drink it by yourself and it smells like your feet, it is probably hard for people to swallow. Naturally, Wen Xin will not disgust herself. When stepping on it, Wen Xin put on natural latex boots.

Four baskets of grapes were put into the wooden basin. Wearing boots, Wen Wen walked almost along the edge of the wooden basin. After stepping on every part of the basin twice, he poured all the grapes with broken skins and the watery ones into the clean basin. In a large glass bottle, then add sugar and let the grapes and sugar ferment in the bottle. Wen Xu paid special attention here. According to the information, the glass bottle cannot be sealed at this time, because the seal will explode, and carbon dioxide will be generated when the grapes are fermented. If the space is airtight, it will burst the container.

As soon as the grapes were bottled, Wen Xu put the bottle out, because the time in the space was difficult to grasp, Wen Xu had to take the bottle outside, so that it would take several hours to wait for the grape skins in the bottle to be topped up by the carbon dioxide in the bottle Sometimes, Wen Xu can use something to press down the grape skins, and the time in the space will pass in a blink of an eye, how can Wen Xu have the ability to control it, sometimes time passing too fast is also a troublesome thing.

For a whole afternoon, Wen Xu was tossing his own home-brewed red wine, and finally when all the grapes were bottled, Wen Xu already had twenty bottles of wine, large and small, almost filling his own space. All the glass bottles used were used up.

  The next thing Wen Xu has to do is to wake up the wine in the barrel every few hours and wait for the grapes to fully ferment.

   While he was tossing about in the studio, Shi Shangzhen knocked on the door.

  Wen Xu walked over and opened the door, and asked, "Why are you here?"

   "What time is it now? It's time for dinner. You still ask me why I'm here? By the way, why are you still locking the door? What are you doing sneakily inside?"

   As soon as he was talking, Shi Shangzhen looked at the glass bottles on the floor in the studio, saw that the entire workbench was full, and couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many?"

  How can Wen Xu say that not only are there grapes picked here, but half of them are grapes in the space, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "There are so many of them."

   After speaking, in order to divert Shi Shangzhen's attention, he said again: "Then what do you want to eat at night?"

   As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and caressed Shi Shangzhen's waist.

   Sure enough, when Wen Xu made a move, Shi Shangzhen's attention shifted from the number of grapes in the bottle to how to deal with Wen Xu's demonic hands.

   "Why don't you eat noodles, let's make some cold noodles" Shi Shangzhen said.

Wen Xu was a little unhappy: "This thing is not hungry, look at our house, which one has a small belly, and all of them are meat-loving masters, you let them eat cold noodles? What about today? I can't sleep well at night."

Shi Shangzhen understood right away that Wen Xu was using things like Dongliang to do the trick, so he said: "Dongliang and Dahua are omnivorous, and you are the only meat eater in the whole family! Really, eat less meat and more meat Vegetables are good for your health! Why don’t we make mutton cold noodles, and I’ll go down and cook mutton, right?”

   "It's okay!"

  Wen Xu nodded with a smile.

  Shi Shangzhen heard Wen Xu nod, and muttered in his mouth: I know how to eat meat all day long, and those who eat meat don't care too much!

   Saying so, he went down the stairs happily, left the studio and prepared to go back to the house to cook the mutton in the pot first.

Just as Shi Shangzhen stretched out his hand to open the door, he heard his mobile phone ringing. He took it out to look at it and put it to his ear. At the same time, he pressed his finger on the place where the fingerprint was read. When he heard a click, the door opened. up.

   "Sister-in-law!"

  After Shi Shangzhen entered the door, he said something to the person on the phone in a very polite tone. But after humming twice, his complexion became a little less pretty.

   "Sister-in-law, I can make up my own mind. Don't say I already have a boyfriend. Even if I don't, I won't waste time with people like them. Goodbye!"

  After Shi Shangzhen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Shangzhen sat directly on the sofa with a very bad expression. After muttering a few words to himself, he couldn't help looking behind him, and saw the studio through the window room behind him, although he couldn't see it. Wen Xu's figure, but Shi Shang really knew that Wen Xu was inside, so his mood improved again.
