Chapter 21 Brewing Cider Next

As Lv Erniang entered Qinghe Village with an ox cart, the villagers in the farmland were very curious about the Lv family's cart of jars and fruits. He couldn't help it, so he asked Lu Erniang in a loud voice. Lv Erniang replied with the reason she had thought for a long time, saying that there was a war, and prices would definitely rise. She would pickle more pickles and store grain for a rainy day.

As for those baskets of fruit, Lv Erniang likes Lv Xianger and Lv Hong, so she buys more and put them at home. Although Qinghe Village is not far from the county, it does not have the time to buy fruit and enter the county for two or three days. This statement made the children in the village very envious of Lv Xianger and Lv Hong, but the adults curled their lips at Lv Erniang so much.

Cun Zhengniu Mancang felt that Lv Erniang did not tell the truth, but did not ask. Anyway, Lv Erniang also has something to do with the county magistrate. As long as Lv Erniang doesn't do anything 'special', Niu Mancang doesn't want to make a bad impression in front of her. Moreover, Niu Mancang doesn't believe that Lv Erniang can do anything special.

Looking at the ox cart sent back by Lv Erniang, Niu Mancang received the money for renting the ox cart and said kindly, "Mrs. Lv, if you want to buy anything in the county in the future, you can come to me to borrow the ox cart. Also, you don't have to care about those tongue-chewing people. Come to me if you need anything.

"Then thank the village for taking care of our orphans and widows. This basket of fruit is very fresh. I specially brought some for the children to taste. I hope the village will not refuse. Lv Erniang looked at the two little grandchildren of Niu Mancang. A little granddaughter secretly looked at the fruit in the basket in the room, so she didn't care about Niu Mancang's refusal. She put the basket in the yard and turned away.

As she walked home, Lv Erniang thought in her heart whether she wanted to buy a cow. Although the 20 mu of fertile land is rented out, she doesn't need to cultivate it. But with the ox cart, it is convenient to come back to the county, and you can also rent it to the villagers to earn some money. Moreover, when Lv Xianger really brews cider, she can also pull it to the county by herself. Thinking that the fruit ordered in the county was very cheap, but the seller refused to send it to Qinghe Village, Lv Erniang nodded firmly.

Half a month later, Lv Erniang drove into Qinghe Village with an 80% new ox cart and a truck of fruit, which attracted the attention of the villagers in the farmland. The villagers already knew that the Lv family bought a strong cow and now bought a truck of fruit. They all doubted that Lv Erniang's family background before she came to Qinghe Village must be good. Thinking of the encirclement of the Lv family in the village, some alert villagers told their wives not to talk about the Lv family behind their backs with Mrs. Zhang, which really calmed the Lv family for a period of time.

However, that Mrs. Zhang didn't believe this. In her heart, Lv Erniang came out of the big family and was also kicked out. Otherwise, how could there be no man following her? If it hadn't been for two children, Mrs. Zhang would have suspected that Lv Erniang had come from that kind of unclean place before.

Therefore, when Lv Erniang carried the fruit from the car to her yard, Mrs. Zhang's village women looked at her from afar and stood under the big tree and whispered. Moreover, when Mrs. Zhang saw Lv Erniang buying the new cow, her envy and hatred were obvious, and her tone of voice was also strong sour.

Lv Xianger, who came down from the mountain with Zou Yue and Zhao Xiu, carried a basket of newly picked grapes. Seeing the expressions of Mrs. Zhang and others, she knew that they must have nothing good to say. However, Mrs. Zhang didn't come clearly. Lv Xianger also paid attention to it and made a grimace to them before entering her yard. Lv Xianger knew in her heart that people like Mrs. Zhang were the kind of people who kicked their noses and cheeks, and it was wise to ignore her. Besides, she is very busy now.

After putting down the grapes, Lv Xianger went into the mud room to clean up the jar. Because he wanted to make money by brewing fruit wine, the mud house changed in the hands of Lv Erniang and Lv Hong. The debris inside has long been cleaned up and disappeared. In addition to empty jars, there is also a 'big pit' in the corner of the mud house.

Inside this 'pit', there is also a small world. It took Lv Erniang and Lv Hong a few days to build a small wine cellar under the mud room to store the brewed fruit wine. Although this small wine cellar is not big and not so beautiful, Lv Xianger is very satisfied. Moreover, she also asked Uncle Zhao to make some wooden shelves to put a lot of jars. Among them, there are already one-third of the grapes in the wine cellar. For the rest, Lv Xianger is going to pack pear wine and peach wine.

Now the pears and peaches ordered in the county have been sent, and Lv Xianger has spent all her energy on brewing these two kinds of wine. After putting down the grapes, she began to screen two kinds of fruits with the help of Lv Erniang. With the experience of her previous life, Lv Xianger knows very well that only good fruits can make good wine.

Lv Xianger didn't expect to find such a juicy and sweet fruit in this county. Compared with the simple conditions of the Lv family, Lv Xianger can only choose the oldest method to make fruit wine. Therefore, when choosing fruits, you must choose fruits with high moisture and high sugar content. Otherwise, it's better to buy some more brewing wine, and the capital of this fruit wine will be high. Lv Xianger wants to earn more.

Seeing that Lv Xianger sifted out one-third of the fruit, Lv Erniang said sadly, "Xiang'er, can't these make wine? A Niang looks very good." In fact, Lv Erniang also wanted to say that these were all bought with silver money and should not be so extravagant.

Lv Xianger looked at Lv Er Niang's face, immediately understood what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "Niang, only good fruit can make good wine. If the wine in the whole jar is sour and broken because of a fruit, it is not worth the loss. Besides, Xianger has other plans for the remaining fruits. Don't worry, Xiang'er won't spoil the money.

"Little money fan, your brain is smarter than your father." Seeing that Lv Xianger looked confident, Lv Erniang couldn't help smiling and pinched her little face. Lv Xianger enjoyed Lv Erniang's intimacy with her and acted coquettishly in Lv Erniang's arms. It was not until lunch that the mother and daughter officially began to make wine.

Like making wine, Lv Xianger and Lv Er Niang held a hand towel, wiped the pears and peaches one by one and put them in the jar. It was not until Lv Xianger said 'enough' that Lv Erniang took the jar to the wine cellar. Lv Xianger marked the time on the wall behind the wine jar.

Lv Erniang is very strange that Lv Xianger just puts the fruit in the jar but doesn't put anything else. She remembered that when Lu Tai brewed fruit wine, he seemed to put a wine song. Thinking about it, Lv Erniang forgot Lv Xianger's age and asked, "Xiang'er, don't you have to put some wine songs in the jar?"

"No release. This year's food must be very expensive, and it's too troublesome to make wine songs. Moreover, with the wine song, the fruity taste of the cider is covered, and the fruity wine that loses the fruity taste is not cider. While feeling the temperature of the wine cellar, Lv Xianger considered how to raise the temperature when it was winter. Lv Xianger answered Lu Erniang's question without thinking about it. At this time, Lv Erniang also understood why the fruit wine brewed by Lv Tai was not delicious, and few people bought it.

But Lv Erniang didn't react until she came out of the wine cellar. She was surprised how Lv Xianger could know so much about winemaking at a young age. She didn't expect that Lv Xianger's skin was still the same skin, but the core inside was changed. Lv Erniang, who can't figure it out, can only comfort herself with 'Lv Xianger is born with a talent for brewing wine'.

Lu Xianger, who followed Lv Erniang out of the wine cellar, found Lv Erniang's thoughtful expression and realized that her performance was out of her age. Taking a deep breath, Lv Xianger began to carefully observe Lv Erniang's next behavior. It was not until Lv Hong returned from the school that Lv Er Niang didn't ask anything more, and Lv Xianger's heart calmed down a little.

After that, with the addition of Lv Hong, before dark, these fresh fruits were all packed into the jar and neatly placed in the wine cellar. Seeing that Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger looked tired, Lv Hong took the initiative to cook dinner.

After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, Lv Hong wanted to ask what to do with Lv Xianger's remaining fruit. When Lv Xianger was tired and fell asleep. Lv Erniang also yawned and was ready to rest. The helpless Lv Hong had to turn off the oil lamp and lie down with Lv Erniang.
