This mountain is mine

Chapter 17 Cherry Wine

In the small ravine on the sunny slope of Yunyin Mountain, there are more than a dozen not-so-high trees hanging with small red fruits that are bright red and crystal clear like ordinary gemstones. The clusters of small and lovely fruits like pearls on the trees are particularly attractive.It's a pity that no one visits here at ordinary times, and even the lovely fruit can only be overripe and fall to the ground, scattered into mud.

But today, strangely, a group of people came from the small ravine with bags and baskets in their hands.

"It's here." Shen Yangqing put Zhao Yixin down carefully.

I saw Cherry yesterday and learned that there are still many cherries in the mountains. Zhao Yixin, who is no longer in serious health, said that he would go to see it.Shen Yangqing agreed, but he didn't dare to be careless, he just carried Zhao Yixin all the way over, which made Zhao Yixin moved and helpless.

"A lot of cherries!" Zhao Yishen's eyes sparkled, wishing he could climb up to pick up as many cherries as light as a swallow.However, it doesn't matter, he brought a lot of people.

"Chengzi, do you think cherries are really that precious?" Nineteen looked at the cherries that fell on the ground, and really didn't understand what Zhao Yishen said was that cherries were very precious, and they wouldn't even eat them like they did. Heaven?

"I didn't expect that the things that people in the capital are scrambling for are not cared about here." Lin Cheng said, with pride in his tone.Although he has never been to the capital, he also knows that the capital is the most prosperous place in Daliang.It's just that I didn't expect that what the capital didn't have, Yunyin Mountain actually had it!

"There are so many on the ground!" Zhao Yixin didn't notice the fruits on the ground when he first came here, he only saw the cherries full of trees, but now that he sees it, his heart aches, it's so precious!

"These are freshly dropped, and you can still eat them." Seeing the heartache on his face, Shen Yang bent down to pick them up and have a look.

"Then let's pick up the edible ones that fell on the ground first." After Zhao Yixin finished speaking, he squatted down to pick the edible cherries.

"Okay!" Everyone followed suit and picked the cherries they could get on the ground.

"It's almost there!" After picking the cherries on the ground, the men climbed up the tree to pick the cherries, and the wives picked them up below.

Shen Yangqing also climbed up the tree, and Zhao Yishen was terrified to see the place where he climbed specially.

"Yang Qing, let's forget if the top is too high." Zhao Yixin shouted to the top.

"It's okay." Shen Yangqing enjoyed Zhao Yixin's concern, but he didn't dare to make him anxious.

"Chengzi, don't worry about him. The boss is the best tree climber among us. When I was young, the boss didn't want to study and was afraid of being found by Uncle Mo Ke, so he climbed the ten-meter-high locust tree in the village. Still fell asleep on it, making Uncle Mo Ke think he ran out of the village." Nineteen inadvertently revealed the scandal of Shen Yangqing's childhood.

"Nineteen, does your bone hurt?" Shen Yangqing, who was exposed by his brother in front of his wife, was a little annoyed and threatened.

"Cheng Zi, your man wants to fight with me, stop him!" Nineteen laughed, not afraid of Shen Yang Qing's threat at all.They're good brothers, and it's okay to joke around.

"Yang Qing, there's another string there!" Zhao Yixin knew the ten-meter-tall locust tree, and he felt scared even looking up from below.Unexpectedly, Shen Yangqing could climb up when she was a child, she could climb up when she was a child, maybe she can when she grows up.What's more, this cherry tree is only three meters high at most.In this case, he will not be polite.

"Understood." Shen Yangqing, who was summoned by Zhao Yixin, picked off the bunch of fruits that he had neglected depressedly, feeling complicated.It was just a childhood scandal, not only Shijiu was not afraid of him, even Zhao Yixin didn't feel sorry for him anymore.

"Hahaha..." Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and the small valley was full of laughter.

After picking the cherries, everyone returned to the village.After the men moved the cherries back to the village, they went to plant medicinal materials, leaving the wives to deal with the cherries.Since handling the cherries was not a laborious task, they went away in peace.

Zhao Yixin and the others washed the cherries and divided them into three parts. One part was used to make cherry wine, the other part was used to make dried cherries, and the remaining part was made into dishes to eat tonight.

At the beginning, everyone didn't know that the little red fruit was a cherry, and they didn't know that cherries could be made into other things.Zhao Yixin told them that cherries are very rare in the capital, and they can sell cherries.However, they cannot buy fresh cherries and can only sell processed cherries.What surprised them even more was that Zhao Yixin said that even if it was just processed cherries, if they could sell them successfully, they would earn much more than running a business.

"I didn't expect that Yunyin Mountain is full of treasures!" Lin Cheng praised.

"Yeah, I'm really surprised here." Zhao Yishen said with a smile, the decision to stay in Yunyin Village was correct.

"How do you make cherry wine?" Someone asked impatiently, he wished he could make it right away and sell it to the capital, making the people in the capital envious.

"It's very simple. We need to pick out the big and ripe cherries from the washed cherries, because the cherries used for winemaking are all ripe fresh big cherries, so that the taste of the cherry wine will be mellow." Zhao Yixin said, "Pick out the big ones. After harvesting the cherries, the cherries should be destemmed to avoid the bitterness of the long stems from affecting the taste of the wine.”

"The next step is to mash the cherries, put them in a container, add sugar, and seal it to let it ferment. After the cherry wine has fermented to a certain extent, it is necessary to separate the dregs from the wine to remove the dregs. The cherry wine is fermented Finally, it needs to be aged for several months. If you want to taste better, you need to age for longer." Zhao Yixin finished the steps of brewing cherry wine in one breath.

"It's easy!" Everyone thought making cherry wine was complicated, but they didn't expect it to be so simple.They can do this kind of work in minutes.

"What are you waiting for, let's smash the cherries." Wang Jie rolled up his sleeves and said.

"Wait!" Zhao Yixin stopped him, "The sticks and utensils we use to pound cherries must be sterilized first."

"Oh, there's still this particularity." Wang Jie was quite knowledgeable.

"It must be disinfected first, otherwise the cherries may rot." Zhao Yixin explained.

"Can it be boiled in boiling water for disinfection?" Wang Jie remembered that the third uncle sterilized the silver needles in this way.

"Yes, boil it with hot water." Zhao Yixin smiled.

"Chengzi, the water is boiling!" Zhao Yixin asked Yu Jia to boil water for disinfection when he came back from picking the cherries.Yu Jia, who was studying medicine with my third uncle, knew what disinfection was all about, and he understood as soon as Zhao Yixin told him.

"Let the water boil for a while, and then the sticks and utensils can be taken out." Zhao Yixin said.After speaking, he and Yu Jia went to the kitchen to have a look.

"it is good."
