Chapter 46 Little Jiu Niang's Shojiu

From winter to spring, Lv Xianger finally grew one year older, which seemed to be a little different from before. Of course, the appearance is more and more like the strengths of Lv Tai and Feng Sanniang. Under the influence of Lv Erniang's teaching and Chaoxia, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is a polite lady. But when facing his family, he is still the same as before.

"Zao'er, Xiaotao, bring more firewood to the stove today. I'll go there later."

In the Qing Dynasty, Lv Xianger stood at the door of the main room, said a few words to Zao'er and Xiaotao in the kitchen, and then jumped to the backyard to wash. Lv Erniang, who sat in the room and taught Chaoxia to embroider her purse, just wanted to say a few words, but she was gently pressed by Chaoxia and shook her head.

Chaoxia, who has been gradually recognized by several people of the Lu family and Song Yuan, has a trace of warmth in her eyes and whispers, "Aunuch doesn't have to always care about Xianger. In fact, what she does is better than those little women of large families. It's like embroidering this purse. I haven't learned it for so long that I can't embroider it well.

"Chaoxia, you don't have to worry. Take your time, it will definitely be embroidered. Lv Erniang looked at Chaoxia with comforting eyes, but she sighed in her heart that this 'embroidery' was really difficult to hold the strong Chaoxia with 'martial arts'.

It's been almost three months, and Chaoxia can't even embroider the same decent pattern. Lv Erniang and Lv Xianger didn't know how many ideas they had thought. Chaoxia still didn't make any progress. Either the needle was broken or the thread was broken. In a word, Chaoxia is really not suitable for holding an embroidered needle. She should take a sword.

Lv Xianger deeply understood this truth and no longer thought of ways for Chaoxia's 'embroidery skills', but devoted all her energy to brewing wine and distilled wine. After seeing the fruit wine brewed by Lv Xianger, Zaoer and Xiaotao became Lv Xianger's loyal pursuers. The two little girls heard that Lv Xianger was going to take them to make wine, and they listened to Lv Xianger's dispatch without regret.

"Zao'er, these firewood don't seem to be enough. Let's go and get some. After dinner, the little lady will come to the kitchen. Xiaotao was like the firewood when it rose for the first time. She felt that these were still not enough, so she went out to get it with dates. Although the two little girl is not big, they are all from the farmer's family. They really have some strength. When Lv Hong was not at home, these physical work were scrambled by two maids.

Lv Xianger came to the kitchen after dinner. Zaoer and Xiaotao were also busy, waiting for her to be dispatched. Lv Xianger saw the tired sweat of the two, so she waved her hand and said, "Go to eat and rest for a while. After half an hour, it will start distillation. I'll go and see the fermentation of those jars of wine."

"I know, little lady." Zao'er and Xiaotao thought that it would take a long time for them to eat, but they didn't expect that Lv Xianger was affectionate, which made them leave happily, but they strengthened their loyalty to Lv Xianger. Because Lv Xianger told Zaoer and Xiaotao at the beginning of the winemaking with the two people that this is the Lv family's unique secret recipe that cannot be passed on. I hope the two girl will not talk about it to anyone. The two girl was originally very grateful to the Lv family. After Lv Xianger's kindness, they increasingly thought that they should be a loyal girl.

Lv Xianger took this opportunity to carefully observe the situation in the wine jar again. To be honest, Lv Xianger's process of distilled wine is all limited to ideas and has never been practiced. Therefore, when making distilled wine for the first time, Lv Xianger didn't do too much. Moreover, for the sake of safety, she uses mixed steaming residue, which can save food.

To put it simply, the distillation process is born from the yellow wine fermentation process, but there is only one more distillation process. The so-called mixed steaming residue means that after distillation, part of the wine or lees is still fermented in the tank, and a certain amount of new ingredients and wine music are added at the same time; the other part is discarded. It can save food, and because of repeated fermentation, the quality of the wine is better.

Previously, Lv Xianger had been distilled twice. This time, according to the theory, the finished wine can be made today. Therefore, Lv Xianger was very nervous, and she was afraid that she would mess it up and make everyone happy.

"Why, I'm a little nervous. It's not like the Lv Xianger I know." I don't know when Chaoxia appeared at the door of the kitchen. Although her tone was light, there was still a trace of concern in it. In Chaoxia's heart, after this period of getting along, she did not dare to treat Lv Xianger as a little girl at all.

Lv Xianger smiled and nodded and admitted, "Sister Chaoxia, I'm not afraid to tell you. I'm really a little nervous. After being busy for months, I don't want to fail at all. Fruit wine is selling worse and worse, and the money is getting less and less. If I really can't make distilled wine, I don't know where my brother's tuition comes from at all, and I can only make wine.

"You forced yourself like this to repay your kindness?" The corners of Chaoxia's eyes raised, and her expression did not change.

Lv Xianger raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Of course not. Sister Chaoxia should know. I regard my mother and brother as the closest people, so I want to make some contributions to our family. In fact, after coming to Jiangnan, I lost my memory, although I gradually remembered the past. But for my biological parents, I always feel that there is no mother and brother. It's also because of this that I want my mother to live a carefree life, even if I have married later.

"So that's it." Chaoxia nodded. It was the first time she heard Lv Xianger talk about amnesia. At the same time, she suddenly seemed to understand something. However, when Chaoxia saw Lv Xianger's doubtful face, she immediately said, "You are so sincere that God should bless your success. Besides, even if you fail, you still have relatives. Unlike me, even if I learn to embroider a purse, I can't give it to my godfather.

"God's blessing is only one-tenth, and artificial efforts are only nine-tenths." Lv Xianger looked at the two big jars and remembered the scene after she crossed. Suddenly, she suddenly thought about her greatest 'advantage' and gained some confidence. When she turned around again, Lv Xianger was already so colorful: "Thank you, Sister Chaoxia, for your explanation. I feel much better. Even if I fail today, it doesn't matter. With my intelligence, I will definitely make the best wine. However, Sister Chaoxia, I think you can embroider a purse. You don't have to give it to your godfather. You can also give it to your Langjun.

"How old is your little wife? She just thinks about these things, and she is not afraid that your mother will talk about you." In ancient times, no matter what the background was, any girl talking about her husband could not be calm. Although Chaoxia's expression did not change much, her behavior of turning around and leaving still made Lv Xianger laugh secretly.

Half an hour later, Zao'er and Xiaotao raised the fire. Lv Xianger held a ladle in her hand and watched in the passage of wine. From time to time, she also looked at whether the fire in the stove was big enough. Lv Erniang and Chaoxia also knew that this was a critical moment, and they also came here to look at the 'tort' distiller on the stove.

Feeling the heat in the stove, Lv Xianger suddenly thought of Lv Hong. Originally, Lv Hong also wanted to see the process of brewing distilled wine for Lv Xianger for the first time, but it was very unfortunate. These days were the days of the entrance examination of Luming College. Song Yuan was accompanying Lv Hong to take the exam in Jiangling Mansion. I don't know how he did in the exam and whether he could be admitted to Luming Academy.

Lv Xianger was thinking about it when she smelled a stronger and stronger fragrance of wine, which could not be compared with those chaotic yellow wine. With the fragrance of wine, Lv Xianger understood that the wine was finished. Seeing that the bamboo dripped as clear as water, Lv Xianger quickly took the ladle in her hand.

Lv Erniang and Chaoxia, who stood next to them, also slowly smelled the smell of wine, but they couldn't believe that it was like water at all. In the wine they know, wine is the kind of 'soup' that is a little yellow and a little chaotic. If they hadn't smelled it in person, Lv Erniang and Chaoxia would not have believed it at all.

"Xiang'er, is this really wine, not water?" Lv Erniang didn't notice that Lv Xianger took half a ladle of wine and was gently shaking and observing.

On the ** in the ladle, with the gentle shaking of Lv Xianger, foam appeared. Those bubbles are the size of mung beans, and then slowly disappear. And Lv Xianger's expression changed from novelty and excitement to calmness and doubt. Seeing that Lu Erniang almost forgot what she asked, and Chaoxia was also very strange.

"Zao'er, you have to keep watching the firewood. You must keep it like this. Don't be too angry, and don't be too angry." Lv Xianger poured the wine in the ladle into the wooden barrel in front of her, and waved to Xiaotao to let her come over.

Lv Xianger took half a ladle of wine again and shook it gently and said to Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, see my movements. If you shake it gently like this, these bubbles will come out of the wine. Then stop and watch these bubbles slowly disappear..."

Although Lv Xianger didn't understand what was going on at all, she carefully followed what Lv Xianger said and stood in the position where Lv Xianger had just stood. Lv Xianger did not dislike it. With the help of Chaoxia, she carried in the two clean empty jars outside and put them next to Xiaotao to give her wine.

After finishing this, Lv Xianger took out another bowl, put half a bowl of wine in the wooden barrel and handed it to Lv Erniang. She smiled and said, "Niang, if you don't believe it, then try it. However, Xiang'er said in advance that this wine is not something that ordinary women can drink.

"You underestimate your mother, don't you? At that time, my mother often tasted wine in your father's restaurant. Lv Erniang gave Lv Xianger a white look and brought the bowl to her mouth.

Suddenly, the smell of wine that had never been smelled just now rushed into Lv Erniang's nose. Lu Erniang looked at Lv Xianger in surprise and took a sip. However, as soon as the wine came to his mouth, he was spit out by Lv Erniang. He really took a cold breath and slapped his open mouth with his hand. Seeing that Chaoxia was even more strange, she also took out a bowl and tasted it, but spit it out like Lv Erniang.

She suppressed the spiciness in her mouth. There was some small sweat on the tip of Chaoxia's nose, and she asked unnaturally, "Xiang'er, what kind of wine is this wine? Why is it so spicy?"

Lv Xianger had long expected that this would happen to both Lv Er Niang and Chaoxia, and said proudly, "This is the exclusive secret wine made by this little wine girl - soju."
