In the hot summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Zhang Qiao is afraid to go out on weekdays. Every time she goes out, she wears a hat and an umbrella. Every time people in the village see a person carrying an umbrella in the hot sun, they don't need to look at her face to know it's her.

Han Yifei has sent someone to transport the first batch of medicinal wine. Half a month later, she received a letter from Han Yifei. The letter said, medicinal wine is good, but it can be better. He also attached a recipe for making wine, so that she could try to make medicinal wine with her own wine, which could make the medicine and wine fit better.

After knowing the content of the letter, Liu always wanted to persuade her not to do wine. However, Zhang Qiaoting recognized this and felt that there was a way to make money, so she said she would insist on everything and was not willing to give up.

Zhang Qiao wrote a list of wine making needs and gave it to Zhang Liding, asking him to go to the town to buy it back.

In summer, distiller's grains can ferment wine more quickly. Zhang Qiao wants to have a try.

It took her a few days to get everything ready. The family are ready to make wine by themselves.

First, soak the glutinous rice for two and a half hours, then drain the water. Pour the soaked glutinous rice into a rice steamer, cover the rice steamer, and put it in a large wok. Put water on the bottom of the wok, make a fire on the bottom of the wok, and steam for one and a half hours. The glutinous rice becomes soft and cooked.

Loosen the steamed rice and pour it into the big water tank which is washed and exposed to the sun. Add a small amount of clean water into the big water tank, add an appropriate amount of wine cake, and then cover the wine well.

Han Yifei gave the list, also wrote a detailed variety of details to pay attention to, summer 3-4 days, winter 6-8 days, glutinous rice can brew mellow rice wine out.

Of course, this is red glutinous rice wine. If you want white wine, you need to steam it and refine it.

Wine making is very troublesome. There are many processes, and it needs a lot of work. The front is basically manual work.

This is much more difficult than Zhang Qiao thought. From steaming glutinous rice to distilling white wine, it seems that it's all men's work.

After practice, Zhang Qiao decided to hand over the previous process to Zhang Liding.

I can't bear it.

The wine making business comes to an end first, and Zhang Qiao will not know whether it can be done until the liquor made by herself comes out?

……

On this day, Zhang Qiao went to Huatian for inspection with an umbrella. Before she got to the field, she saw Zhang Mu Niang come tumbling.

"Ah Qiao, something happened in your flower field."

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go and have a look. You'll see." Zhang Qiao ran to the flower field with Zhang Mu Niang. From a distance, she saw that the seedlings in her field fell to the ground.

Zhang Qiao thought it was the improper care of the hair seedling. She dried it in the sun. When she approached, she found that she had been uprooted and left in the field to be exposed to the sun.

Who did this?

There is an acre of land in Zhang Qiao's flower field. It grows very well and the flowers are blooming well. Now it's the time for flowering, but it's been pulled out.

Zhang Qiao is very angry, but it has happened, so he can only investigate and find the originator first.

After hearing the news, Liu and Zhang Dacheng came and saw that all their seedlings were gone. Liu sat on the ridge and cried.

"Who is this? Who is so black hearted that he has pulled out all the flowers in my family..."

Zhang Dacheng quickly comforted him: "OK, OK! Don't cry! Such a big man is crying. People will laugh at him. "

"If we work so hard to grow it, now it's gone. Can I not be sad?" Liu said and cried.

Zhang Dacheng couldn't persuade him, so he quickly turned to Zhang Qiao for help.

"Mother, don't cry! Things are gone, and we can't cry back. Let's check first to see who pulled them? That will solve the problem. "

Zhang Qiao helped Liu up. "Niang, you go back with my father first, and I'll have a look. Do you have any clues?"

Liu's tears, forced to hold back tears, "I don't cry, I'll check with you, look together. I'll see who's so mean? The things planted by others are so wasted. Does this man have any heart? "

Zhang Qiao had no choice but to follow her! Let's check together. "

Pick up and check together, but Zhang Qiao still reminds them from time to time, just walk on the ridge, don't go to the field.

Zhang Qiao was afraid that they would trample on the sole of the shoes on the ground, so she couldn't find the culprit.

Zhang Qiao carefully observed the sole prints on the ground. Yesterday, it rained. Where there were flowers and seedlings, the ground was still wet. If people stepped on it, it was easy to leave sole prints, and the sole prints were relatively clear.

Zhang Qiao compared the sole, remembered the freshest sole print, and took something to surround the place.

The villager asked, "ah Qiao, what are you doing? What can a sole seal say? The people coming and going in these fields may not be what the sole seal does. "

"Yes! If you want to use sole print to determine who did it, will it be easy to wrongly people? "

"What do you know? Ah Qiao is so smart, she must have a way. Don't make any noise. Don't disturb sister a'qing's thinking. ""Hey! Zhang Mu, how dare you teach me a lesson? "

Zhang Mu quickly laughed, shook his head and waved his hand: "uncle, I'm not teaching you, I'm telling you the truth. If it's wrong, if it's not right, don't worry about it. " When the man saw that he had a good attitude towards admitting his mistake, he didn't really embarrass him, so he patted his head with a smile: "you little boy, your mouth is more and more eloquent."

Zhang Mu touched his head and laughed.

He stood on the ridge of the field, trying to hook his head and look in, "Sister Zhang Qiao, do you see anything? Shall we all take off our shoes for you to compare? I tell you, as long as I find out that person, I will deal with her severely. "

Zhang Qiao shook her head: "don't worry! Judging from the size of the shoes, she is about 120 Jin, about 1.6 meters. As long as those who meet these two conditions, take her shoes and compare the patterns below, and you can find them quickly. "

Everyone listened and wondered: "ah Qiao, how can you even understand this?"

"If you read more books, you will know more. It's said in the book. I've read a book about some criminals. How did the official find out that he did it? That's exactly what happened, so I'm quite impressed. "

Another person asked: "even if it's right, you can't be sure it's someone else. If someone accidentally passes by you and leaves a footprint, you have to say it's someone else's fault?"

The villagers asked questions.

"Auntie, what you said is reasonable and not impossible. But she's not going to leave footprints all over the place, is she? If you pass my field, will you step on it everywhere? It won't, will it? So, I'm not just judging who pulled out my flowers from a sole print. "
