Parents are busy farming

Chapter 476: Bringing out the wine

Then Ye Zifen added water to another pot and started to light the fire.

"Hey, why don't you add water directly to the pot where the sorghum is placed?" Mu Hongzhou asked curiously.

"Of course you can't add water directly. After we add water to the pot here and heat it, the water vapor will enter the pot for turning sorghum along the pipe, and then it will bring the wine inside to the outside."

"Then why are you putting such a big bucket of water here?" Mu Hongzhou asked, pointing to the bucket connected to the sorghum pot.

Ye Zifen quickly explained to her: "This bucket is to lower the temperature inside the tube and turn it into wine. Otherwise, the water vapor will evaporate directly into the air with the wine. What should we drink? Once the temperature of the bucket is cooled, the water will It will condense on the wall of the pipe with the wine, and then slowly come to this mouth, and we can receive the wine, do you understand?"

In fact, Mu Hongzhou didn't quite understand it yet, but Ye Zifen no longer planned to continue explaining to her.

He said casually: "It looks like Izuku has been gone for a while, and you will know what is going on."

Ye Zifen continued to add firewood. When she saw white mist at the outlet pipe, she immediately took a piece of lit firewood, placed it at an outlet in front of the cooling bucket, and removed the plug. It wasn't until the fire was lit that she nodded with satisfaction.

Then block the outlet and continue to add firewood until the water in the pot boils.

Water began to drip from the end, and Ye Zifen took out a gourd and placed it at the exit.

When the wine inside dripped and there was as much as the bottom of a ladle, she moved a wine jar.

Then he poured out the wine in the gourd.

"Hey, why did you pour the wine? What a pity!" For Mu Hongzhou, who likes to drink, seeing her wasting the wine, his inner anger was beyond words.

Ye Zifen hurriedly explained: "Wine-making requires pinching off the head and removing the tail, because there are a lot of poisonous things in it. Naturally, we have to pour them out. What is behind is the wine we should drink. And the reason for removing the tail is because there are a lot of poisonous things in the tail. The concentration of impurities is no longer so pure, so there is no need for it. The most important thing is the wine produced in this middle step."

Then Ye Zifen ran into the house, took out a wine glass and placed it at the exit, then took a small glass of wine and handed it to Mu Hongzhou.

"Try it and see if it's different from the wine you drank before?"

Mu Hongzhou took it and smelled it first, then looked down at the transparent wine in the glass. He shook the glass and saw that the wine in the glass was already hanging.

Until now, she was able to confirm that it was good wine, and then she put it to her lips and sipped it gently.

The strong wine contained a hint of the softness of grain, which made her exclaim: "Good wine!"

One pot of fermented sorghum yielded two jars of wine. The last jar had low concentration and impurities. Ye Zifen wanted to throw it away, but Mu Hongzhou offered to let her have a taste.

There was no other way, so Ye Zifen had no choice but to give her the jar of wine.

“Although it’s not as pure as the previous wine, it still has a different taste!”

Ye Zifen didn't care, she took out the used sorghum from the pot and put some more sorghum in.

"Are you going to do it over and over again?" Mu Hongzhou asked.

Ye Zifen nodded, "Yes, we have to do this over and over again, and we can't be sloppy at all, and we can't skip any step."

Mu Hongzhou finally understood why the rest of the Ye family were unwilling to do this. It was so monotonous and required a high degree of concentration. And many of the details in the middle are based on feeling and experience.

You have to understand that wine falls drop by drop, and how long it takes to fill the wine jar. This is very tiring.

"How many days do you have to harvest those sorghums?" she couldn't help but ask.

Zi Zifen's men kept working and answered nonchalantly: "I don't know when it will be finished or when I will forget about it. Anyway, there is nothing important below, so just take your time!"

"The smell of alcohol is so strong. Is Zifen making alcohol? I still don't know how it was made. Go and have a look." Qingyin's voice came from outside the door.

Thinking of Qing Yin Jing's pregnancy, he quickly shouted from inside the gate: "Don't come in, she's pregnant. Smelling too much alcohol is not good. I'll tell you how I made it next time I make wine. Please bear with your curiosity this time." Be careful!"

At this time, Qingyin and Liu Waner were standing at the door holding hands, about to knock on the door.

Hearing Ye Zifen's words inside, he quickly stopped.

"Oh, what a pity, I can't see it anymore!" Qingyin's regretful voice came from outside the door.

"Don't be disappointed. Zifen left just for our convenience. Let's go to the training ground and watch the children train!" Liu Waner advised Qingyin.

After the two pregnant women left, Ye Zifen felt relieved and continued her work.

"Unknowingly, the caravan has been walking for several days, and I don't know where they have gone?" Mu Hongzhou said later.

"Are you worried about everyone?" Zi Zifen asked.

"Aren't you worried?" Mu Hongzhou asked.

Ye Zifen replied: "I'm worried. I admit that I'm worried. It's not like you being a duck all day long and keeping a straight face."

Mu Hongzhou glanced sideways at Ye Zifen and said, "I am your master. Remember to respect your teacher and your teaching."

"Okay, I remember it!"

Zhi Zifen was busy for more than half a month. It was not until all the wine jars were placed in the cellar that she and Mu Hongzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, are you done yet?" Ye Ziwei stood at the cellar door and shouted down.

Ye Zifen and Mu Hongzhou walked out of the cellar and asked, "What's wrong? The wine has been finished."

Ye Ziwei quickly replied: "There is a man outside the door who claims to be Li Zheng from Majia Village and says he is here to give you something."

Ye Zifen knew what he was sending and said to Ye Ziwei: "Find someone to inform Wang Tingmei's two sons and ask them to come over tomorrow and say that the things are ready and you can start studying."

Then she went back to the house and changed her clothes. Because her clothes still smelled of alcohol, it was not easy to wear this to meet people.

But he didn't know that although changing clothes could reduce the smell of alcohol, her hair still had that smell. When he saw Mali Zheng, Mali was sniffing his nose vigorously.

"Miss Ye, did you smell it? There seems to be a strong smell of wine. You couldn't have been drinking in a bar just now!"

Hearing Mali Zheng's question, Ye Zifen quickly waved his hand and said, "No, I didn't drink. I just moved the wine jars. There are too many wine jars at home. I tidied them up, maybe they are tainted with the smell of alcohol."

Compared to Mali Zifen, she was naturally wary of him.

It’s not just what he did before, but there is more of a businessman in Mali.

"Oh! That's it! Let's take a look. I've typed out these two things to see if they are the same as the ones you mentioned?"

Mali was pointing at the cart he was pushing. There were two sealed pots on the cart. Unlike his own bee pot, which was dark and dark, this sealed pot was relatively clean, and it looked like it hadn't been burned yet.
