Chapter 13 Eat grapes without spitting grape skins on

Zhen Xing nodded and said thoughtfully, "These days, there are only 40 or 50 families in total, and there are only a dozen children who really go to school. Mr. Private School is so idle that he is in a hurry. Aren't you going to take a part-time job to rob other people's jobs?

Qi Bosong thought for a moment, twisted an eyebrow and said, "That's what you said, but it's not a way to be idle at home. Seeing that winter is coming, we can't stay at home like bears, can we?

"Oc's it, okay, don't bother yourself. Come and play cards with me." As Zhen Xing said, she stuffed the homemade poker cards into Qi Bosong's hands.

Zhen Xing introduced the simple rules of fighting the landlord to Qi Bosong. Zhen Xing already had an idea in her heart, so she showed a confident look. She knew that after this period of time, they would have a very busy time.

Qi Bosong is very smart, almost as soon as he learns. After two games, Zhen Xing began to feel a little powerless.

"Since you like to play with this, why don't you hang yourself with them?" Qi Bosong said while playing cards.

"The horse hanger needs four people. Besides, we are both for entertainment. It's too troublesome to hang a horse. It takes at least a morning to sit down. It's boring. As Zhen Xing said, she took the opportunity to secretly count Qi Boxong's cards.

"How did you come up with this?" Qi Bosong asked with admiration.

Zhen Xing smiled and said, "In the past, someone in my hometown played this, and I learned it. By the way, I'm calculating that winter is coming. Do we need to take some measures to keep warm?

Qi Bosong suddenly felt that his eyes were not enough. On the one hand, he had to look at the cards in his hand, on the other hand, he had to look at the cards on the table, and on the other hand, he occasionally looked up at Zhen Xing. He was busy for a while, which made him panic.

"I'm calculating that it's better to make a few wooden boards. When the sun goes down in winter, put on the window, at least it can block the cold wind. I heard that the winter here is much colder than that in the capital. Zhen Xing said.

"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. By the way, is the firewood I cut from the mountain the other day enough? I'll cut some more early tomorrow morning and keep them for winter. Qi Bosong said.

Zhen Xing nodded and told, "Don't forget to make a board."

"Ye, I won." After saying that, Qi Bosong came out the last card.

A large number of grapes were on the market. Zhen Xing was secretly happy and encouraged Qi Bosong to buy 100 catties of grapes. Now, her small yard is lively again.

Large and small bunches of grapes are piled up all over the yard. Zhenxing Qian urged Qi Boxong to buy cheap and good grapes. It doesn't matter whether it's a single grain or not.

At home, Zhenxing poured out two mouthfuls of water in the house and washed the grapes several times. All the places in the house that can be spread out are full of grapes, just waiting for the water above to dry, and then you can proceed to the next step.

The old and young in the town heard that the Qi family began to tortuate again. A large number of grapes went in and out. Some good people came to inquire. Seeing the mysterious expressions of the Qi couple, they added a little mystery to the whole thing.

Rumor has it in the village that the daughter-in-law of the Qi family was a wild goose in her last life and was shot by the hunter's arrow. Thanks to the careful care of Qi Bosong's previous life, the wild goose finally came back to life. In order to repay his kindness, Dayan became a beautiful woman in his life and married Qi Boxong. Therefore, the family business of the Qi family is so prosperous. What kind of business do you do to make money.

The rumor spread to Zhen Xing's ears. She couldn't help laughing secretly, saying that she was indeed not a person of this era, but it would be a good thing to be as free as a wild goose without so many worries.

Qi Boxong also heard this rumor and laughed it off. He knew Zhen Xing's identity in his heart, but occasionally he thought that if he returned to Beijing, he could not live such a life again. He couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

It is said that the imperial court and the Eight-nation Alliance made peace. The Empress Dowager Cixi sent the leading troops back to the capital. The envoys of various countries strongly accused the empress dowager of forcing her daughter-in-law to die. The Empress Dowager Cixi blamed the death of Zhenfei on Cui Yugui. She only quarreled with Zhenfei for a few words, and she threw herself into the well and committed suicide. Cui Yugui was kicked out of the Forbidden City for the crime of dereliction of duty for not protecting Concubine Zhen. The Empress Dowager Cixi thought she had gone to a mental illness.

Zhen Xing's family entered the Jingqi Pavilion in the Forbidden City, and the old Buddha graced them to take the body of the imperial concubine from the well. After several attempts, the wellhead was too narrow. In desperation, part of the wellhead was removed before a swollen female corpse was fished up from the well.

Seeing the body, Zhenfei's family cried while cleaning the body. Zhenfei's father cried and hurriedly put on a fallen shoe on the body. Only he knew in his heart that there was a small red mole on Zhenfei's left foot. There was no mole on the left foot of the woman's corpse. Looking at the body, she seemed to be a little shorter than Zhenfei.

Maybe he was rescued. Maybe it was poisoned by the old Buddha in another way. In any case, Zhenfei's father buried this matter in his heart and dared not talk about it to anyone. Whether Concubine Zhen is dead or alive, if you say this, in case you offend the old Buddha, the head on your neck is dangerous.

Concubine Jin ran symbolically and cried. She looked at her sister's body from afar and hurriedly covered her eyes with a veil. When I returned to the palace where I lived, the first thing I did was to shine behind me with water.

It is said that there is no ghost following after using water. She secretly told the queen that the words of Zhenfei were bad. The tree is so popular. Who let his sister occupy the emperor's favor alone without regard to his sisterhood?

Soon after, the court issued an edict to inform the world that the imperial concubine was posthumously crowned as a precious concubine. When Qi Bosong bought meat and came back, he accidentally heard the news and told Zhen Xing.

There was a trace of sadness on Zhenxing's face. She was sentenced to death like this. Every day and night in the future, she will say goodbye to the identity of Zhenfei, as long as they live their little life plainly.

The dried grapes were thrown into the water tank, and Qi Bosong pressed hard with a huge rolling pin. Even if he took off his coat and only the middle coat was left, his forehead and back still oozed a little sweat.

In the yard, Zhen Xing hung up the washed clothes. In autumn, the water was cold and her hands were cold. Zhen Xing walked into the kitchen and saw Qi Boxong sweating. She hurriedly found a towel and reached out to wipe his head.

Qi Boxong was shocked and hurriedly dodged. Zhen Xing smiled and handed her a towel. One hid out, and there was a feeling in his heart.

Her identity is a huge obstacle between the two of them. Qi Bosong is thoughtful, but he can't avoid the rules and regulations of ancestral etiquette. Zhen Xing understands that it will take a long time for him to change.

At noon, Qi Bosong finally crushed a jar of grapes. Zhen Xing went to the acceptance and found that it was much better than she thought. Qi Bosong has always worked very well, and many small things can be handled well if they are handed over to him.

Although Zhen Xing is flexible, she is a little careless in her nature, which is just complementary to Qi Bosong's meticulousness.

Qi Boxong sweated all over and was praised by Zhen Xing. He was very happy. He picked up a basin of hot water, got into the room, and wiped his body carefully. He is not as luxurious as apricot. He has to burn water for half a day in the shower.

Zhen Xing brought the sugar jar and fiercely dispersed the half jar of sugar inside. Xin said that if something went wrong this time, she would not live. I found another big canvas, sealed the mouth of the cylinder, found two more hemp ropes, and tied the hemp ropes. He also took out an iron kettle and boiled a pot of water.

She has gradually liked the life of this kind of little woman who lives at home. She is unrestrained and very leisurely.

Five days later, Qi Boxong helped Zhen Xing open the mouth of the jar and saw a layer of grape skin floating on it. Qi Boxong couldn't help but look at Zhen Xing.

Zhen Xing said with a smile, "De Ling, who is next to the old empress in the palace, once gave me a bottle of wine. As you know, De Ling is a foreigner. I was curious about these things. I asked her several times. She told me the details, and I wrote them down. I didn't expect that it could be used today.

Qi Boxong smiled. At this time, Zhen Xing took the gourd ladle, gently filled out the ** inside, and put it into a cleaned jar. Qi Boxong grabbed the ladle from Zhen Xing's hand, moved a chair to let Zhen Xing rest, and did his own hard work.

Zhen Xing, who was idle, was like an old man, directing Qi Boxong's work and asked him to be careful not to put the grape skin into the jar.

Zhen Xing thought about how a liang of silver and a hundred catties of grapes and a hundred catties of grapes make seventy or eighty catties of wine. A catty of wine is sold for 60-80 big children. In addition to labor, consumption and other costs, a catty of wine can earn at least 40 big children. After working hard for half of the autumn, can you earn a taels of silver? It's not cost-effective.

Zhen Xingxin said that it seems that if we want to increase the retail price, we should sell at least 80 big children. When Qi Bosong sold cabbage last time, he contacted several restaurants. If he sold it to them, wouldn't it be more profitable?

It seems that it is necessary to increase production. Unfortunately, there is a limited space at home. If necessary, a wine processing factory should be opened.

Qi Bosong secretly took a sip and handed the rest of the wine in the ladle to Zhen Xing.

"How does it taste?" Zhen Xing asked

Qi Bosong frowned and said, "I think it's a little sweet. How about you try it?"

I took a bite of Zhenxing. It tastes good, not as good as the dry red of various brands, but the taste is absolutely in line with the needs of the public.

"Do you think it's okay to sell 80 big children for one catty?" Zhen Xing asked uneasily.

Qi Bosong immediately glanced at her and said, "There are too few eighty big children, at least a hundred big children!"

"Ah? Isn't it too much?" Zhen Xing said in surprise.
