Return to the era of passion

Wang Bin said: "I wanted to accept your father as a master to learn wine making, but your father didn't accept me as his apprentice, so I had to buy some distiller's yeast and go back to make yellow rice wine."

"You are 18 years old and you still want to be an apprentice?" Chen Xiuli asked puzzledly.

Normally, an apprenticeship lasts three years. Although this is a new society, there are still some rules.

Generally, apprentices are recruited when they are over 10 years old. If they go to school, they study on Sundays. Of course, they mainly have to work for the master.

In this way, when you are sixteen or seventeen years old, you can start teaching, go home, get married, start a family and start a business, and support your family with a craft.

If an 18-year-old like Wang Bin continues to learn a craft, how can he survive?

Wang Bin said: "I just want to learn some basics so that I can make wine at home. I don't want to make a living from this."

Now we can't do business openly. It's only the end of 76, and we won't be able to apply for a self-employed business license until the end of 78.

In fact, when the above policies come down, local authorities will have to revise the detailed rules, which will basically not happen until 79.

There are still two years in between.

Wang Bin just wants to use his spiritual spring water to produce a batch of good wine, and then take the high-end route.

"That won't work either. Although I don't have any older brothers, I can't get married right now. I just want to inherit my father's craftsmanship. My father will definitely not accept any more apprentices. What's more, you are a local householder, so of course you can't accept any more apprentices. apprentice."

Wang Bin asked in surprise: "But you are the same age as me, so you don't want to get married again?"

Chen Xiuli sighed: "Unmarried men don't want a married woman like me. If I look for a divorced man, there are not many such people. They are still very old and have children at home. I What are you marrying for? Raising children for others?"

After the divorce, someone also proposed marriage to Chen Xiuli, but the man was older and had children. Of course, Chen Xiuli was not willing to marry her.

If he is not a divorced man, he must be physically disabled, and only then would he be willing to marry a second-married woman.

If Chen Xiuli was over 25, she would just find a man to marry, but she is only 18 this year and her family is relatively wealthy, so she doesn't want to wrong herself.

As Wang Bin listened to the explanation, an idea suddenly came to his mind. Chen Xiuli, an old classmate, should be in contact with him more often. Maybe...

Wang Bin said: "You really can't wrong yourself. Marriage is not a child's play. If I could just find someone, I would have gotten married two years ago."

"Yeah, I can't live my life casually. Thinking about the next few decades, I won't get married again casually."

When Chen Xiuli came back, she remembered why she was talking to Wang Bin about these things. Although the two were classmates and had a good relationship before, they had not seen each other for three years, so it was still abnormal to talk about these private matters.

Then he said: "Okay, don't talk about me anymore. I'll get you some wine."

Wang Bin followed Chen Xiuli and walked out, and was quickly attracted by the swaying from side to side. Chen Xiuli had a really good figure. Not only was she huge in the front, but she was also straight and round in the back. Her legs were straight and she walked very gracefully. Charm.

I just admired them and didn't pay attention until I reached the wing. When Chen Xiuli stopped, Wang Bin continued to move forward, and then they bumped into each other.

After being frightened, Wang Bin scrambled for a while and almost fell down. Then he grabbed whatever he could. After calming down, he realized that he was holding Chen Xiuli.

Chen Xiuli bent over after being hugged, biting her lips without making a sound while holding a wine vat with both hands. If not, the two of them would have fallen to the ground.

Chen Xiuli blushed with embarrassment and said angrily: "You stinky Tiezhu, why don't you take your stinky hands away."

Wang Bin stood up in a panic and said: "I didn't mean to do it. I was thinking about something and you suddenly stopped..."

"Okay, I know you didn't mean it, and you don't like me either. You still like Wu Xianghe, who is from the same village of yours?"

Chen Xiuli said this on purpose. Wang Tiezhu was so bad today that he hugged her.

When I was in school, I knew that Wang Tiezhu and Wu Xianghe had a special relationship. Now I also know that Wu Xianghe has married into a commune and is still a teacher in an elementary school.

Everyone lives in the commune and sees each other often.

No matter Wang Tiezhu did it intentionally or unintentionally, he couldn't fall out, so he would take out Wu Xianghe and make him angry.

Wang Bin could only smile bitterly in return. Chen Xiuli was definitely taking revenge on herself. She knew that Wu Xianghe was already married, but she still came out to make excuses.

"Okay, classmate Xiuli, you are already married. Please stop saying a few words and I will apologize to you."

Chen Xiuli also knew not to say much, so she asked: "How much koji do you want?"

Wang Bin said: "I don't know how much to add?"

"You don't know anything and you want to make wine?" Chen Xiuli said speechlessly for a while.

Then he explained that normally 100 kilograms of grain requires one kilogram of distiller's yeast. Unless there is a special formula and process that uses a slightly different amount, normally it can be added in this proportion.

Question: “Do you know how to brew?”

Wang Bin asked: "Can you teach me?"

"You, if it weren't for the sake of my classmates, I wouldn't teach you."

Chen Xiuli complained in her heart, thinking that Wang Tiezhu knew a little bit, but it seemed like he didn't know anything. She said with a smile: "My father said he won't accept apprentices, but I have another way?"

"any solution?"

Chen Xiuli smiled and said, "You can ask me to be your master? If you want to learn winemaking, of course you have to be a master. Otherwise, who would teach you anything?"

Wang Bin quickly shouted: "Master Chen, please have tea."

As he spoke, he bent down and bowed as if holding tea with both hands.

There are only two people here now, and there are no outsiders. These are still my female classmates, so it is not embarrassing.

It's not like kneeling and kowtow to worship the master like in the past, of course Wang Bin can do it.

Chen Xiuli just said it casually. She didn't expect that Wang Bin would lower her face to do this. She turned around and said, "You are not sincere when I see you. This doesn't count."

Wang Bin straightened up and said, "Old classmate, aren't you kidding me?"

Chen Xiuli said a little arrogantly: "Anyway, if you are not sincere, I won't teach you."

"You are still the same as when you were in school." Wang Bin said with a smile.

Chen Xiuli looked like this when she was in school. Because she was beautiful and had a good figure, although many male classmates called her Chen Papaya behind her back, who gave him the ability to be arrogant.

"Hmph." Chen Xiuli turned around and opened a large vat, then put some wine yeast into a jar and said, "These are enough for you."

Wang Bin thought to himself, but he only had distiller's yeast and didn't know how to use it. He had watched the video before, but after such a long time, he only vaguely remembered it, and he didn't know exactly how to operate it.

Originally, I planned to go back and experiment a few times on my own, but now that I know Chen Xiuli, I have to ask her for advice.

"Master, just teach me how to make wine?"
