Chapter 28: Winemaking

After leaving Jinhua, Zhong Ziqi remembered her brewing plan, so she changed the route to another store, which specializes in living utensils.

Zhong Ziqi wants to buy a wine-making jar. Some are tall, some have big hands, all kinds. Zhong Ziqi carefully selected four jars that were almost knee-sized and paid twelve cents.

Back at home, Zhong Ziqi lay on the bed and rested for a while, tossing and tossing for these two days. Fortunately, his body has been much better after this period of exercise, otherwise he would get down early.

Zhao Zhengan was stealing food for the little animals in the yard. He whispered to them while feeding, and occasionally chuckled twice.

Zhong Ziqi feels that this kind of life is very good and fulfilling. In his previous life, his family had a lot of rules because it was a teacher. This is not allowed, which made him and his brother feel very depressed every time they go home, but they are still very depressed. Love this family, but now he can only entrust it to his brother, I don't know if they are doing well.

Zhong Ziqi found out in the confusion that it seemed that he hadn't recalled his previous life for a long time, maybe those memories will gradually become dusty with time and his current life.

After a short rest, Zhong Ziqi got up and went to the kitchen to watch the sun. It was about ten o'clock. Zhong Ziqi made a few pies with noodle fillings and had a meal in the restaurant. They were not too hungry. They ate one of them. Zhang, Zhong Ziqi wrapped the rest in oil paper, and Zhao Zhengan carried the three bamboo baskets at home and went up the mountain again.

Zhong Ziqi's direction of entering the mountain is a bit to the left due to geographic location, while people in the village are a bit to the right when entering the mountain. So they rarely meet other people, and there is no lack of Zhong Ziqi's intentional elements.

Because no one cares about it, the plants grow very well and there are a lot of ingredients. But Zhong Ziqi's primary goal now is to pick fruit. Zhong Ziqi was held by Zhao Zhengan and walked across a hillside, where the fruit looks fuller and bigger.

Zhong Ziqi pointed to a wild peach tree and said: "Zhengan, you pick peaches, pick the red ones, not the green ones."

Zhao Zhengan nodded.

Zhong Ziqi went to pick grapes, and there was a vine not far away, it was a small grape. Zhong Ziqi picked one and tasted it. It was a little bit sour and sweet. That's it!

Zhong Ziqi stood on tiptoe and carefully picked a bunch of them and placed them in a well-padded back basket. As soon as he glanced at Zhong Ziqi, he saw the unique green bugs of the vine. The chubby man was lying on the leaves with a thumb as big as he shivered. Goose bumps all over his body. He is most afraid of this mollusk. It is soft and weak. He played with it when he was young. When he grows up, he has to take a detour and doesn't want to see it at first.

But there was no way at the moment, Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zhengan not far away, gritted her teeth, hypnotized herself to see nothing at all, and then looked at the grapes without looking at the leaves without squinting. The grapes are easy to pick, and a basket is full after taking up space.

Zhong Ziqi wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, even though the forest blocked a lot of sunlight, it was still hot. Carrying a basket on his back, Zhong Ziqi walked to Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan had already picked up half of the basket of peaches. He reached out and took off the back basket from his wife. His eyes were suddenly attracted: "Daughter-in-law, don't move."

Zhong Ziqi stopped moving immediately, and asked nervously, "What's the matter?" He had a bad premonition.

I saw Zhao Zhengan mobilize on his collar, and a hairy, gray hairy man was pinched in his hand by Zhao Zhengan, who was covered with fur, and brought it in front of him like a treasure.

"Ah!!! Go away!!!" Zhong Ziqi yelled in anger, and took a big step back tightly.

Zhao Zhengan stood at the same place helplessly, still keeping his hands raised, looking at her violently reacting daughter-in-law foolishly.

Zhong Ziqi slowed his heart beating slowly, and took an angry look at the stupid standing person: "What are you holding for, do you want to eat?"

Zhao Zhengan hurriedly threw the thing that was struggling, looked at him anxiously like a child making a mistake, and yelled, "Daughter-in-law..."

Zhong Ziqi did not hide his fear: "I'm afraid of that thing, don't use it to scare me!"

Only then did Zhao Zhengan know what he did. He actually bullied his wife, which is simply unforgivable. Well, he remembered that his wife was afraid of this, but in fact... it's not scary at all.

"Daughter-in-law, you can go back, I can pick it." Zhao Zhengan saw something on the tree east and west, and he couldn't bear to worry about his wife.

Zhong Ziqi was still a little weak now, and he hesitated and asked him: "Can you do it all by yourself?" Although Zhao Zhengan was a little scared, he still slapped his chest.

Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Then you have to be careful, come back when you are done, don't go far."

"Got it."

Zhong Ziqi handed the pie he had brought to Zhao Zhengan, then carried his grape basket on her back and went down the mountain. Their home is not very far from here, and one can see his house when standing here. This is also a place where Zhong Ziqi can rest assured, he can see his figure while sitting in the courtyard.

When he got home, Zhong Ziqi drank a large bowl of cold water before starting to pick up these grapes. I found a large basin, sprinkled some salt, put the grapes in it, soaked it, washed it briefly, rinsed it with water several times, and dried it in the sun.

After hammering the waist, Zhong Ziqi raised his head, and saw that the figure was still there, making him relieved. Sitting in the yard, turn over the grapes from time to time to let the grapes dry as soon as possible.

Here Zhao Zhengan picked a basket of peaches and a basket of plums as ordered by his wife. He hugged one in front and one behind his back and carefully descended the mountain.

Zhong Ziqi saw him coming down from a distance, and hurriedly got up to pick him up.

"Silly, carry them one by one!" Zhong Ziqi took the basket in front of him.

"Not tired." Zhao Zhengan touched his head and smiled.

Entering the courtyard, Zhong Ziqi put down the basket, poured a bowl of water into the room and handed it to Zhao Zhengan.

Zhao Zhengan drank it in one gulp. Then sit in the yard and eat cold pies. Seeing that the grapes were drying, Zhong Ziqi went into the house and took the jar out and put the grapes in. Carefully wash the hands and arms carefully, then reach into the jar and crush the grapes.

Zhao Zhengan watched it interestingly, and wanted to try it.

"Wash your hands clean."

"Oh" Zhao Zhengan ran to the kitchen to wash his hands.

"Just crush the grapes."

Zhao Zhengan happily reached out and grabbed it inside.

Zhong Ziqi didn't care if he went to clean up the plums and peaches on the side. This thing is not easy to clean up, you have to get the core out, and the rest is similar to the wine making.

After Zhao Zhengan had basically crushed the grapes, Zhong Ziqi sprinkled half a bag of sugar, then sealed it with yellow mud, and directed Zhao Zhengan to place it in a cool place.

It was getting darker and darker, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were busy putting the peaches and plums in the empty room together with the wine.
