Gu Rin's farming life
Chapter 45 (2)
Go to the front of the little house. "Gu Lin, let's eat!"
"Understood." Gu Lin was watching his distiller's song. After observing it for the past few days, it was still very successful. Gu Lin couldn't help but feel complacent. It seems that he is still very good. Gu Lin silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Your Majesty the Cat squatted on his shoulders, seeing his proud look, he was very disdainful, without the King secretly controlling the temperature for you, you think you can succeed in one go, it seems that the King is the most powerful, His Majesty the Cat silently gave it to himself I also liked it and decided to reward myself with an extra piece of fish for dinner.
"What is this?" Wen Yan leaned close to Gu Lin, stretched his neck to look at it, but felt that it was a mess, and he couldn't tell what it was at all.
"Distiller's yeast." Gu Lin gave him a popular science, "It's used to make wine."
"Wine?" When it came to wine, Wen Yan thought of the handsome man in the tavern, and lost interest in an instant, and didn't have any desire to know more about it. "It's time to eat."
Seeing his lack of interest, Gu Lin didn't intend to continue. Anyway, Wen Yan is still a child, so it's normal for him not to be interested in wine.
"Let's go." Gu Lin closed the lid, pulled Wen Yan and walked out.
When the two of them arrived, the meal was already on the table, and it was just waiting for the two of them.
After the two were seated, the old man Gu made a summary of the year and his expectations for the next year, and the family began to move their chopsticks.
Maybe the family conditions are better or because of the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Gu is more willing to put oil and seasonings in cooking. The taste of the New Year's Eve dinner today is much better than usual, and the whole family is very satisfied.
"Idiot, I want to eat fish!" The forgotten majesty the cat slapped the cat bowl with a paw, since once he forgot to serve the majesty the cat, the majesty the cat replaced his blue and white porcelain bowl with a An iron bowl with cats painted on it. The biggest feature of this bowl is that it sounds very loud when you shoot it. As soon as you find that the Gu family has forgotten to fill it with food, His Majesty the cat will start to shoot the bowl.
"This cat is really shrewd." Mrs. Gu said with a smile after hearing the sound of the cat bowl, she picked up a piece of fish meat for it, "I was a little late last time, and it clapped the bowl loudly."
"That's not true." Old man Gu also echoed, "You know how to ask me for water, you're really a genius."
"It's smart." Gu Lin said after taking a bite of the ribs.
Knowing His Majesty's strangeness, Wen Yan didn't comment, but he took a peek at Gu Lin. It felt so good to have the same secret as Gu Lin. Thinking of this, Wen Yan felt that he could have another bowl of rice. .
Seeing his good appetite, Mrs. Gu was very pleased, and put several pieces of pork ribs in his bowl, "Xiaoyan eat more, and he will grow taller next year."
"Thank you auntie."
"Why are you being polite to my aunt?" Mrs. Gu scolded.
Wen Yan could only smile at her.
Because New Year's Eve is to keep the year old, the meal is eaten very slowly, but no matter how slow the meal is, there will always be a time when the meal is over, and they end the meal around Haishi (21:[-]).
After the meal, the whole family drank tea and ate melon seeds around the stove.
It was the first time that there was no Spring Festival Gala for the new year, and Gu Lin was not used to it, especially in the ancient times when there were no entertainment activities, he was even less used to it, and he was busy recently, so when others were chatting, he would just sit and take a nap.
While half dreaming and half awake, he seemed to see his relatives far away in another world. They were also having New Year's Eve dinner, and the whole family gathered together, with his bowl next to it.
"Xiao Lin, eat well."
He seemed to hear his mother say so.
Then his tears came down.
"Wake up, wake up, your hair is going to burn." Seeing that his head was about to fall to the brazier, Old Man Gu grabbed him to prevent him from burning his hair.
"Can I go to sleep?" Gu Lin opened his eyes, only to find that there were no tears in his eyes, maybe he was dreaming.
"No." Mrs. Gu refused him very coldly, "Sit obediently for me."
"But it's so boring." Gu Lin yawned, it was really boring.
"It's not boring to talk." Gu Xian took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Speaking is so boring." Gu Lin still lacked interest and couldn't help complaining, "It would be great if I could fight a landlord."
"What is Doudizhu?" Hearing an unfamiliar word, Gu Xian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Every time he heard a new word that Gu Lin uttered, he always knew something special, so this time he heard Gu Lin's words again. Gu Xian was very interested in speaking new words.
"It's just a kind of game." Gu Lin gave them a popular science about the rules with great interest, and the whole family was aroused, but it's a pity that they don't have poker cards in their hands.
"Let me make a set." Seeing everyone's regretful looks, Gu Xian suggested.
"That's good." Gu Lin thought about it, this is not difficult, and it shouldn't take a lot of time to make a set.
So Gu Xian was in charge of painting, Wen Yan and Gu Lin were in charge of cutting paper, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, they started making playing cards.
"If you want poker, I have it." His Majesty the cat finished dinner slowly, only to find that Gu Lin and the others were making poker, expressing his embarrassment, he has a lot of this stuff.
"You have?" Gu Lin turned his eyes sideways.
"Of course." His majesty the cat hooked his paw, and stepped on two decks of poker with his paw, "Want? Take small dried fish in exchange."
"Ten rules?" Gu Lin stretched out two palms.
"Ten pieces? Do you think you are dismissing the beggar cat?" His Majesty the cat was dissatisfied, "Fifty pieces, not one less."
"Thirty?" Gu Lin gestured again.
"Fifty." His Majesty the Cat insisted.
"35?"
"Fifty."
"forty?"
"Fifty.". . . .
No matter how much Gu Lin said, His Majesty the Cat insisted on not letting go at fifty. Gu Lin finally compromised, and His Majesty the Cat showed mercy and gave him two decks of poker.
Gu Lin pretended to walk around the room before taking out the poker, "I forgot I had poker in the room."
Gu Xian glanced at him clearly and did not expose him.
So the whole family fought against the landlord in the house.
In the beginning, because Gu Lin was familiar with the rules, he won a lot. Others posted a lot of notes on their faces. Unfortunately, he was facing two geniuses. Wen Yan has an excellent memory and can count cards, so within a short while, Wen Yan and the elders of the Gu family had papers all over their faces, and they couldn't see the cards clearly.
Gu Lin had to admit that genius is not something that can be defeated by experience. With his many years of experience in fighting landlords, it's not that he can't beat these two beginners.
Genius should be burned.
Fighting Landlords conquered the Gu family with its unique charm, and made them forget the time. They didn't realize that it was midnight and the year was over until someone started setting off firecrackers.
"That's it for today." Old man Gu took the lead in throwing down the cards, "I'll set off the firecrackers first."
"You're lying." Wen Yan wanted to cry with a good hand of cards. He was so lucky this time, and his hand of cards was really explosive. He was about to kill all directions, but Old Man Gu ran away, which was a waste.
"Who says I'm lying, it's time, it's time to set off firecrackers." Old man Gu looked confident.
"Old man, you are just cheating." Mrs. Gu also had a dissatisfied face. She was crushed too badly by old man Gu, and just wanted to win it back with this, but who knew that old man ran away, and the feeling of punching cotton was really uncomfortable. good.
"I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you." Old man Gu picked up the prepared firecrackers and fled.
After a while, there were firecrackers outside.
The new year has finally arrived.
Chapter 48
"The ridge is collapsing!!" Gu Lin was sleeping comfortably, when she heard Wen Yan yelling at the top of her voice in a daze, and then the quilt was thrown off when she felt cold.
"Don't make trouble." Shrinking his body, he shrank himself into a ball.
"Get up, the ridge is about to collapse." Seeing that the trick of lifting the quilt was useless, Wen Yan started shaking him again.
"It's been a long time since I haven't farmed, and there is no field to collapse." Gu Lin said in a daze.
He vaguely thought that he was still at home, modern life, and some customs of the year that everyone didn't follow, such as the custom of getting up early on the first day of the new year, otherwise the fields would collapse, and everyone didn't care.
He has not been dragged to get up early on the first day of junior high school for many years, and he is still a little bit overwhelmed.
"Where is there no land?" Wen Yan muttered, throwing the new clothes that Mrs. Gu had prepared on Gu Lin's body, "Hurry up!"
"Okay, okay." Gu Lin was so disturbed by him that he sat up in a daze, closed his eyes and began to undress.
Seeing him start changing clothes, Wen Yan was embarrassed to look at him, his eyes turned around, looking around but not looking at Gu Lin.
"Huh?" Seeing the red corner under the pillow, he couldn't help but reached out and took it. When he took a look, he couldn't help being startled, it turned out to be a red envelope.
That's right, on New Year's Eve, the parents would put the New Year's money under their pillows while their children were asleep. He hadn't received the New Year's money for too many years, so he forgot about it.
I'm so envious, Wen Yan glanced at the red envelope in his hand, and sighed slightly in his heart.
However, he tugged on the brand new clothes on his body, and quickly adjusted himself. The Gu family was not related to him, but they treated him so well. One must be content, and not be too greedy, like a white-eyed wolf.
Here Gu Lin has already dressed, saw the red envelope in Wen Yan's hand, thought it was the red envelope given to Wen Yan by Gu's family, and looked at Wen Yan's expression a little strangely, thought he was embarrassed, couldn't help laughing, "Here Just take what's yours, don't think too much."
"Eh?" Wen Yan was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Gu Lin was thinking wrong, and handed the red envelope to Gu Lin, "This is for you, put it under your pillow."
"Give it to me?" Gu Lin was also a little dazed. Since he was 18 years old, he has given his parents the New Year's money. It has been a long time since he received the New Year's money. Guo Wenyan opened the red envelope in his hand and saw that there were two small silver peanuts inside, which is a very common style for giving lucky money to children.
"Huh, here's another one?" Now that Gu Lin had gotten up, Wen Yan started to tidy up the bed, put it away and found a red envelope under the pillow on the side where she was sleeping.
"It should be for you." Gu Lin stretched his neck to look, "Take it apart and have a look."
"En." Wen Yan didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had turned up, and carefully opened the red envelope. Inside were three peanuts that were the same as those in Gu Lin's red envelope.
"It's actually more than mine." Gu Lin pouted, the two elders of the Gu family really liked Wen Yan very much.
"How about I share one with you?" Seeing that Gu Lin's face was a little strange, Wen Yan asked cautiously.
"What for me?" Gu Lin was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, she realized that Wen Yan was probably afraid that he would be jealous?I couldn't help but smile a little, and patted Wen Yan on the shoulder, "Kids, don't think so much."
"I'm already 16, not a kid anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are not a child, you can marry a wife." Gu Lin suppressed a smile, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Wen Yan is indeed 16, and only children can firmly remember that the Chinese New Year is one year older. Adults can't wait to forget about it.
"I don't want to marry a wife." Wen Yan muttered softly.
"What?" Gu Lin didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing." Wen Yan was a little angry, what's the matter with Gu Lin, he keeps saying this, is he trying to imply something?
Gu Lin was just joking, who knew that Wen Yan thought so much, anyway, he packed up, dragged Wen Yan and went outside, "Go eat, there are rice cakes to eat today."
Eating rice cakes on the first day of the first lunar month, worshiping God and paying New Year's greetings, the first day of the New Year is bustling and bustling.
The second son-in-law pays homage to Yue's family.
Naturally, Gu Xian wanted to go to Jing's house. Gu Lin thought about it, and asked Gu Xian to bring it to Jing Zhi after writing about the tofu house, so Gu Xian set off early in the morning with the gift prepared by Mrs. Gu and the two children.
And the Gu family has no daughter, so there is no such thing as a daughter and son-in-law coming back to pay New Year's greetings. When Gu Xian fell ill this year, Mrs. Gu's mother secretly stuffed her with some money. The gift preparation is more abundant.
I wanted Gu Lin to go with him, but Gu Lin thought that Wen Yan was alone at home and was a bit lonely, so he shook his head and refused.
Gu Pozi thought about it, and it was the same reason, so she didn't force it.
So the two of them played and played with each other for a day, and Gu Lin suddenly wanted to eat hot pot on a whim, so the two ran to the old blacksmith's house in the village on a whim, insisting on helping him make a hot pot.
The old blacksmith was alone, without a wife and child. On days like the second day of the first lunar month, seeing other people either visiting their parents-in-law or their daughter returning home, he had nothing, and felt desolate. At this time, Wen Yan and Gu Lin came He didn't feel so lonely with all kinds of gags in his house, so he also made a fuss along with it.
Until the last time when Gu Lin and Wen Yan left with the freshly baked hot pot, he still looked at the door for a long time.
Gu Lin and Wen Yan didn't know how long the old blacksmith had been watching them. They went home and worked together to prepare the soup base and ingredients.
It's a pity that there is no chili, Gu Lin looked at the bone soup tumbling in the big pot, and felt a little regretful, always feeling that there is no spicy soup base, and hot pot is not tasty enough.
When Gu Xian and the elders of the Gu family came back, the soup base and ingredients were almost ready.
The Gu family is very used to the weird things that Gu Lin fiddles with from time to time, anyway, every time he makes things that are beneficial and harmless, they just let him go.
The things made today probably have something to do with eating, so Gu Xian consciously cut out the gift from the Jing family on a plate.
Seeing what Gu Xian cut out, Gu Lin's eyes lit up, it turned out to be venison, and now he is lucky.
A hot pot meal made the Gu family sweat profusely, but they were extremely satisfied.
The second year of junior high school passed like this.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth days of junior high school. . .Until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, it was spent in all kinds of excitement, various customs and eating and drinking.
Can't be so depraved anymore, Gu Lin squeezed her face with a lot of flesh, and secretly made up her mind.
Who knew it would be broken the next day.
The next day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and there will be a lantern festival in Huazhen.
Gu Lin took Wen Yan to the Lantern Festival, so he ate all kinds of snacks again.
Pinching her fleshy face again, Gu Lin thought, Old Master Confucius said that only delicious food and beautiful women should not be let down. Since the sages have said so, I should listen to the sages.
So Gu Lin intensified even more.
Confucius was dumbfounded, when did I say such a thing? ? ?
Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the year is over and work can start.
Without delay, Gu Lin summoned the workers to start making paper.
Everything went smoothly. Although the workers didn't know how to do it at first, after Gu Lin pointed out a few times, they quickly got started.
The advantage of hiring people from the village is that these people are more hardworking and will not steal or play tricks. Gu Lin is very relieved and has time to brew his wine.
When it comes to wine making, water is very important, so Gu Lin wanted to use the mountain spring water from Otaru.
Thinking that the best mountain spring water in Otaru is in a relatively deep mountain, and you can only pick it, Gu Lin feels that there is nothing to love in life. He has not carried water for many years, who knows if he can still pick it.
Do you want to hire someone?
Gu Lin stroked her chin and thought about who would be more suitable.
When Gu Lin was troubled, Ah Jia came back.
Before the Chinese New Year, when Ah Jia recovered from his illness, Gu Lin asked him to go home for the Chinese New Year without saying anything or making a contract. He thought that he would never come back after he went back. After all, there was no restriction.
Unexpectedly, he came back again.
Perhaps Gu Lin's expression was too surprised, and Ah Jia was a little embarrassed, a little stern, "What's your expression?"
"Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by me?" Gu Lin deliberately teased him, "You still owe me money."
"I'll work for you to repay the debt." Ah Jia obviously had already made up his mind when he went back this time, "I'll leave after I've done enough work for the money."
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay off the debt no matter what you do?"
"If that's the case, it's my fate." Ah Jia thought of the unscrupulous shop owner, blushed a little, but said.
Hearing this, Gu Lin was a little surprised. He looked at Ajia several times up and down, and didn't know what happened during the time he went back. Ajia looked a little decadent, giving people the feeling that he had resigned to his fate. He went back to celebrate the New Year, but it turned out like this when he came back. Gu Lin was also surprised, and he didn't know what could hit him like this.
After thinking about it, Gu Lin felt that it would be better to give him a reassurance, "I'm lying to you, you can leave after you have deducted the wages." Feeling that saying this meant driving people away, Gu Lin answered again , "Of course, you can stay if you want. The salary is still the same as it is now. I will give you 50 Wen a day."
"Okay." Hearing this, Ah Jia just nodded without showing a happy expression.
Gu Lin shook his head. It seems that this person was really beaten. After all, the wages he gave are quite high now, and the wages of the workers in the paper mill are not so much. In the end, A Jia still didn't respond.
"When do I start working?"
"Just today." Gu Lin pointed to the bucket on the side, "Follow me up the mountain to fetch water."
Ajia didn't look at it, picked up the bucket and set off.
Although the mountain spring is in a deep forest, the location is not difficult to find. Gu Lin has been there before, and they have already marked it, so they found the location quickly.
Ajia looks very strong, but in fact he is really strong. He jumped steadily with a bucket of water, but Lu Yuandan crushed the dead lightly, and Ajia carried it at a slow speed. When they got down, Gu Lin didn't just watch from the side, and when Ah Jia couldn't walk, he would pick him.
Gu Lin, who hadn't picked a burden for a long time, felt like he had picked a mountain, silently making up his mind that he must build a tap water.
Once there is water, winemaking begins.
Gu Lin learned the art of brewing wine from his grandfather. His grandfather was an old alcoholic, but he was also a very picky alcoholic. At that time, the family was too poor to drink good wine, and his grandfather was picky, so he went to other wineries to steal a teacher. I didn't learn everything, but I still made a very good wine with my own tinkering.
It was at that time that Gu Lin learned how to make wine. He was quite talented in this area, and even his genius brother couldn't beat him.
Although it took a lot of time to make koji before, with koji, the step of making wine is relatively simple, and it can be said that it is easy to do.
The days passed slowly in papermaking and wine making.
When the first batch of paper in the paper mill is completed, it is already the time when the peach blossoms are gorgeous, and Huazhen is ushering in her most beautiful time. At this time, literati and poets will gather in Huazhen, which is simply the best time to launch new paper. Thinking of this, Gu Lin was overjoyed.
Touching the freshly baked paper, Gu Lin smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He felt that his time was coming, and it was really worth clarifying.
Thinking of the wine, he thought of the first batch of wine he made, and it should be time to unseal it. The release of his wine at this time will definitely calm down the group of people who have never drunk good wine. The new paper plus New wine, this is the rhythm of getting rich.
Thinking of this, Gu Lin quickly ran to the wine cellar and took out a sealed jar.
"Xiao Lin, who are you?" Gu Xian was sorting out his manuscripts. After several months, he finally prepared the articles about punctuation marks. There are ten articles with good reason.
When the peach blossom season comes, there must be countless literary fairs in Huazhen, and there must be an endless stream of literati and poets gathered in Huazhen. As long as these articles are displayed at the literary fairs, they will not worry about being famous all over the world.
Thinking of this, Gu Xian felt that his blood was going to heat up. He had been silent for so long that almost everyone had forgotten him. Even he himself doubted whether he was still the genius boy praised by everyone before. His rare opportunity must be seized.
Thinking that Gu Lin gave him this opportunity, he was full of gratitude to Gu Lin.
"My wine should be ready to be unsealed. Open a jar and try it." Gu Lin put the wine on the table, took out the white porcelain bowl that he had prepared long ago, opened the mud seal of the jar, and a scent of wine spread over the surface.
Gu Lin's eyes lit up when he smelled this smell, the taste is so good, it proves half the success, and he can't wait to pour the wine into the white porcelain bowl.
The wine is clear and transparent, with a tangy aroma, you can tell it's a good wine at a glance.
Dashao is currently brewing wine. After fermenting in the cellar, the wine is not steamed, but filtered to obtain the wine. This kind of wine is not as clear as steamed wine. In terms of taste, it can't be compared with this altar made by Gu Lin.
Gu Xian picked up the wine bowl, and saw that the color of the wine in the bowl was as clear as crystal, after a sniff, it was as mellow as orchids, and after taking a sip, it was sweet and mellow in the mouth, and aftertaste carefully, it felt like it would last for a long time.
Gu Xian just felt that no gorgeous words were enough to describe the deliciousness of this wine, and in the end he could only spit out the most primitive compliments.
"Good wine!"
Chapter 49
Gu Lin was slightly complacent. When he first smelled the wine, he felt that the wine must not be wrong. Seeing Gu Xian's reaction, he was even more sure.
So he picked up another bowl and took a sip slowly, well, although it can't compare with those famous wines from the Celestial Dynasty, it is still several blocks away from Dashao's so-called best wine. Gu Lin felt that what he drank was not wine, it was obvious It's money.
Thinking that there are still dozens of altars in the wine cellar, the peach blossom season is coming soon, and the peach blossom wine is about to start brewing, Gu Lin's whole body is in a good mood, and he will become a local tyrant in a short time, marry Bai Fumei, and start life Peak.
"Xiao Lin, now that the wine is ready, do you have any ideas on how to sell it?" Gu Xian asked after taking another sip of the wine.
He is not a person who loves wine, but this wine is so delicious that he can't hold it.
"This, I already have a preliminary idea, but I have to go to the town tomorrow to make a decision." Gu Lin had an idea, but he didn't have any contacts in the town, so it might not be very suitable, anyway, go to the town tomorrow It's also good to explore the road.
"That's good." Although Gu Xian didn't know Gu Lin's plan, but he also had some thoughts in his mind, but he might have to ask his old friends to see, anyway, the husband is going to celebrate his birthday recently, and his classmates will rush back, why not Let's see if there's a way.
"I'll look at other wines." The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, especially this kind of unique wine, which is even more rare.Therefore, Gu Lin didn't care much about the promotion of the new wine, and quickly put it behind him and continued to check his new wine.
Gu Xian, who has already tasted a delicacy, will naturally not miss the tasting of new wine, so he sat obediently and waited for Gu Lin's new wine.
So when Wen Yan came back, what he saw were two drunk people.
Gu Xian was fine, he sat quietly on the side after getting drunk, counting the lines on the table with staring eyes.
Gu Lin, on the other hand, was more unrestrained, gesticulating with a branch, and muttering, "Ten steps to kill a person, thousands of miles, thousands of miles, no way..."
After reading, he pointed at Gu Xian with a tree branch, "Brother, brother, tell me, am I the number one swordsman in the world?"
"Yes." Gu Xian stared at the big eyes with an innocent face, "Xiao Lin, you say yes."
"I, am I the smartest in the world?" Gu Lin was still not satisfied, and continued to point at Gu Xian with a tree branch, as if you dared to say that I didn't want to slap you.
"You, what you say is right." Gu Xian looked like a good baby, "Xiao Lin is the most, the smartest."
"Good boy." Gu Lin's drunken eyes were blurred, but the hand that didn't hold the branch was very precise on Gu Xian's head, and rubbed it, "Go and count the ants."
"En." Gu Xian showed a pure smile, walked to the wall of the courtyard, squatted down, took a small wooden stick to poke the ants lined up by the wall, and started counting the ants seriously, "One, two, three..."
Seeing him really squatting in the corner to count the ants, Wen Yan felt that his three views were shattered. In his mind, the god-like scholar would obediently count the ants just because of Gu Lin's words. If he could send an emoji at this time Bao, Wen Yan probably can throw out a bunch of goofy expressions, it's just too ruinous, okay?
Wen Yan felt that if he continued to watch, he might lose control and rush over, shake Gu Xian's shoulder vigorously and growl, wake up, wake up, you are a scholar, a genius, how can you count ants here? ? ?What about your dignity as a scholar! ! !How can you let me look directly at you in the future? ? ? ?
In order to prevent himself from really losing control and rushing over to offend Mr. Xiucai, he turned his head wittily, no longer looked at Gu Xian, but instead looked at Gu Lin who was still waving the branch. Singing a tune that Wen Yan didn't understand, "You are my little apple, I can't love you too much, red..."
Listening to the chaotic humming, Wen Yan said that he really wanted to go up and cover his mouth, it was really embarrassing.
Before he could rush up, Gu Lin had already rushed over, grabbed Wen Yan's hand and shook it, "Come on, I'll teach you, tell you, I'm a master dancer, punching Nanshan Nursing Home, kicking Beihai kindergarten..."
Wen Yan was staggered by him, and almost fell over, so he could only hug him.
Feeling that she couldn't move anymore, Gu Lin struggled desperately, "Let go, let me go, I, I can still dance!!"
Wen Yan hugged him tightly, Gu Lin used both hands and feet, like an octopus waving its tentacles.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Old man Gu saw Wen Yan hugging Gu Lin tightly when he came back from the field. It's all good, what's wrong?
"Brother Gu and Gu Lin are drunk." Wen Yan said while restraining Gu Lin.
"Drunk?" Old man Gu noticed the strong smell of alcohol in the air, "Well, how much must you have drunk?"
"Uncle, look at Brother Gu first, I'll get Gu Lin into the house first." Wen Yan didn't have time to explain to him, he felt that he was going to be unable to control Gu Lin, so while he was still able to control Gu Lin, he desperately pushed Gu Lin into the house. Rin dragged it into the room.
"Da Lang, get up, it's cold on the ground." Seeing Wen Yan dragging Gu Lin into the room, the old man walked up to Gu Xian and patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Xian had already counted to the 290th eighth ants, but he was interrupted by the old man just like that, so he turned his head and stared at the old man very dissatisfied, "I haven't finished counting yet, so don't disturb me."
Being stared at by Gu Xian's dark eyes, the old man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he patted Gu Xian on the shoulder again, "Shall we go back to the house and count?"
"Not good." Gu Xian refused straight away, "Ah Yue will come back only after counting [-]. I haven't counted enough yet."
Ah Yue?
Old man Gu was taken aback, Ah Yue seemed to be the maiden name of his dead eldest daughter-in-law.
Seeing his son squatting in the corner and earnestly counting ants, Old Man Gu sighed. This child always makes people feel distressed.
"I'm lying to you, you just need to go to sleep and she will come back." Old man Gu pulled Gu Xian up and persuaded.
"Really?" Gu Xian still opened his eyes wide, expectant.
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, old man Gu almost failed, but he held back after thinking about it, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Go to sleep." Gu Xian narrowed his eyes when he got the answer he wanted.
Here Gu Xian has been tricked by old man Gu to sleep, while Gu Lin is still making trouble on the other side.
"You, you sing for me!" Gu Lin grabbed his collar relentlessly, preventing Wen Yan from ripping off his clothes.
"What are you singing?" Wen Yan felt that he was going to be impatient. What kind of trouble is this person, who looks like a chaste woman, going to make trouble?Do you think others will insult him?Don't even think about it, a drunk, what's wrong with being rude, "If you don't take off your clothes, I'll beat you up."
"How about I sing one for you?" Gu Lin still held on to the neckline, but began to sing loudly, "Give me a piece of blue sky, a newborn sun, give me a piece of green grass..."
Hearing his magic sound piercing the wall again, Wen Yan stretched out his hand to cover Gu Lin's mouth, unexpectedly Gu Lin licked his palm, he felt as if his palm had been scalded by a soldering iron, and instantly retracted.
Thinking of Gu Lin's soft tongue and the touch of his palm, Wen Yan's face turned red.
"Hey, I'm blushing." Gu Lin's drunken eyes were hazy, but she saw Wen Yan's flushed face at a glance, and couldn't help holding his face, "It's like an apple, but I don't know how it tastes?"
After thinking about it, he felt that he had to take a bite to know what it tasted like, so he took a bite and bit Wen Yan's cheek.
bitten?
Wen Yan was in a daze, and even forgot to dodge, just maintaining the posture of being bitten.
"The taste doesn't seem to be very good." Gu Lin let go of Wen Yan's face, smashed his mouth, and looked disgusted.
"You're so tall!" Wen Yan laughed back angrily, gave Gu Lin a violent chestnut, pushed him to the bed without taking off his clothes, and held him down with the quilt, "What are you doing?" I sleep well!!"
"It's not delicious." Gu Lin was very wronged and muttered.
"Sleep!" Wen Yan covered his head with the quilt.
Gu Lin fell silent. After a while, Wen Yan lifted the quilt covering his face. Gu Lin had already closed his eyes and slept peacefully.
It is also amazing to sleep when you say sleep.
Wen Yan muttered before pulling the quilt for him and going out.
"It's really hard to bite." Wen Yan looked in the mirror, there was a tooth mark on his face, and the surrounding area was already slightly darkened, and it hurt so much that he moved a little.
Wen Yan couldn't help but go back, and slapped Gu Lin hard on the forehead twice.
Gu Lin slept as if she was dead, without any reaction, which made Wen Yan feel no sense of accomplishment.
Feeling that it's pointless to bully a sleeping person, Wen Yan didn't touch him anymore, and went out to get a hot towel to cover his face.
When Gu Lin woke up the next day, he only felt a splitting headache and couldn't remember what happened yesterday.
"Who told you to drink so much?" Mrs. Gu handed him a bowl of honey water.
"Didn't you pay attention?" Gu Lin was a little embarrassed, took a big sip of the honey water, "How is it, big brother?"
"Still asleep." Mrs. Gu muttered, "You young people really don't know how to control yourself."
"Be careful next time, please be careful next time." Gu Lin begged for mercy.
"Want to have a next time?" Gu Pozi glared at him, "This time I bit Xiaoyan like this, why don't you eat him next time?"
"Xiaoyan?" Gu Lin was puzzled, he couldn't remember what happened yesterday.
"No, you were bitten, and there was a big bruise on your face." Mrs. Gu was very dissatisfied with this matter, drinking like that, and hurt Xiaoyan like that, so she couldn't control it.
"I'll go and have a look." Gu Lin stuffed the empty bowl to Mrs. Gu, jumped off the bed, and ran out in a hurry.
"Slow down!" Mrs. Gu really looked down on his bluffing behavior.
Gu Lin ran to the yard without hesitation, while Wen Yan was squatting on the ground cutting a piece of wood.
Wen Yan's water truck has become famous in the nearby villages, and those who have rivers passing by in the village have raised money to order a water truck from him. It's already spring plowing time, so those villages are rushing for the water truck, and Wen Yan spends most of his time making water trucks. his waterwheel.
Today is no exception.
Gu Lin squatted down and looked at Wen Yan seriously. There was a big tooth mark on Wen Yan's fair and tender face. The edges of the tooth marks were blue, and some were even purple-black, which looked shocking.Gu Lin only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and before he figured out why, his hand had already touched his face spontaneously, "Does it hurt?"
"Nonsense? Try being bitten?" Sensing that he was asking nonsense, Wen Yan rolled his eyes, and the boss snarled unhappily.
"Then, let you bite it back." Gu Lin put his cheeks together as if he was dead.
Seeing him with his eyes closed, looking generous and righteous, Wen Yan said unhappily, "No need, if the dog bites you, there's no need to bite it back."
Gu Lin who was treated like a dog:......
"Go aside, don't get in the way of my work." Seeing him squatting still, she gently reasoned and pushed him to move his position, so as not to hinder him from making money.
Recently, Wen Yan has earned a bit more, and he has become more motivated. If this continues, he will be able to build a house in a short time. Think about it, he is more motivated.
"Understood." Gu Lin was watching his distiller's song. After observing it for the past few days, it was still very successful. Gu Lin couldn't help but feel complacent. It seems that he is still very good. Gu Lin silently gave himself a thumbs up.
Your Majesty the Cat squatted on his shoulders, seeing his proud look, he was very disdainful, without the King secretly controlling the temperature for you, you think you can succeed in one go, it seems that the King is the most powerful, His Majesty the Cat silently gave it to himself I also liked it and decided to reward myself with an extra piece of fish for dinner.
"What is this?" Wen Yan leaned close to Gu Lin, stretched his neck to look at it, but felt that it was a mess, and he couldn't tell what it was at all.
"Distiller's yeast." Gu Lin gave him a popular science, "It's used to make wine."
"Wine?" When it came to wine, Wen Yan thought of the handsome man in the tavern, and lost interest in an instant, and didn't have any desire to know more about it. "It's time to eat."
Seeing his lack of interest, Gu Lin didn't intend to continue. Anyway, Wen Yan is still a child, so it's normal for him not to be interested in wine.
"Let's go." Gu Lin closed the lid, pulled Wen Yan and walked out.
When the two of them arrived, the meal was already on the table, and it was just waiting for the two of them.
After the two were seated, the old man Gu made a summary of the year and his expectations for the next year, and the family began to move their chopsticks.
Maybe the family conditions are better or because of the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Gu is more willing to put oil and seasonings in cooking. The taste of the New Year's Eve dinner today is much better than usual, and the whole family is very satisfied.
"Idiot, I want to eat fish!" The forgotten majesty the cat slapped the cat bowl with a paw, since once he forgot to serve the majesty the cat, the majesty the cat replaced his blue and white porcelain bowl with a An iron bowl with cats painted on it. The biggest feature of this bowl is that it sounds very loud when you shoot it. As soon as you find that the Gu family has forgotten to fill it with food, His Majesty the cat will start to shoot the bowl.
"This cat is really shrewd." Mrs. Gu said with a smile after hearing the sound of the cat bowl, she picked up a piece of fish meat for it, "I was a little late last time, and it clapped the bowl loudly."
"That's not true." Old man Gu also echoed, "You know how to ask me for water, you're really a genius."
"It's smart." Gu Lin said after taking a bite of the ribs.
Knowing His Majesty's strangeness, Wen Yan didn't comment, but he took a peek at Gu Lin. It felt so good to have the same secret as Gu Lin. Thinking of this, Wen Yan felt that he could have another bowl of rice. .
Seeing his good appetite, Mrs. Gu was very pleased, and put several pieces of pork ribs in his bowl, "Xiaoyan eat more, and he will grow taller next year."
"Thank you auntie."
"Why are you being polite to my aunt?" Mrs. Gu scolded.
Wen Yan could only smile at her.
Because New Year's Eve is to keep the year old, the meal is eaten very slowly, but no matter how slow the meal is, there will always be a time when the meal is over, and they end the meal around Haishi (21:[-]).
After the meal, the whole family drank tea and ate melon seeds around the stove.
It was the first time that there was no Spring Festival Gala for the new year, and Gu Lin was not used to it, especially in the ancient times when there were no entertainment activities, he was even less used to it, and he was busy recently, so when others were chatting, he would just sit and take a nap.
While half dreaming and half awake, he seemed to see his relatives far away in another world. They were also having New Year's Eve dinner, and the whole family gathered together, with his bowl next to it.
"Xiao Lin, eat well."
He seemed to hear his mother say so.
Then his tears came down.
"Wake up, wake up, your hair is going to burn." Seeing that his head was about to fall to the brazier, Old Man Gu grabbed him to prevent him from burning his hair.
"Can I go to sleep?" Gu Lin opened his eyes, only to find that there were no tears in his eyes, maybe he was dreaming.
"No." Mrs. Gu refused him very coldly, "Sit obediently for me."
"But it's so boring." Gu Lin yawned, it was really boring.
"It's not boring to talk." Gu Xian took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Speaking is so boring." Gu Lin still lacked interest and couldn't help complaining, "It would be great if I could fight a landlord."
"What is Doudizhu?" Hearing an unfamiliar word, Gu Xian couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Every time he heard a new word that Gu Lin uttered, he always knew something special, so this time he heard Gu Lin's words again. Gu Xian was very interested in speaking new words.
"It's just a kind of game." Gu Lin gave them a popular science about the rules with great interest, and the whole family was aroused, but it's a pity that they don't have poker cards in their hands.
"Let me make a set." Seeing everyone's regretful looks, Gu Xian suggested.
"That's good." Gu Lin thought about it, this is not difficult, and it shouldn't take a lot of time to make a set.
So Gu Xian was in charge of painting, Wen Yan and Gu Lin were in charge of cutting paper, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, they started making playing cards.
"If you want poker, I have it." His Majesty the cat finished dinner slowly, only to find that Gu Lin and the others were making poker, expressing his embarrassment, he has a lot of this stuff.
"You have?" Gu Lin turned his eyes sideways.
"Of course." His majesty the cat hooked his paw, and stepped on two decks of poker with his paw, "Want? Take small dried fish in exchange."
"Ten rules?" Gu Lin stretched out two palms.
"Ten pieces? Do you think you are dismissing the beggar cat?" His Majesty the cat was dissatisfied, "Fifty pieces, not one less."
"Thirty?" Gu Lin gestured again.
"Fifty." His Majesty the Cat insisted.
"35?"
"Fifty."
"forty?"
"Fifty.". . . .
No matter how much Gu Lin said, His Majesty the Cat insisted on not letting go at fifty. Gu Lin finally compromised, and His Majesty the Cat showed mercy and gave him two decks of poker.
Gu Lin pretended to walk around the room before taking out the poker, "I forgot I had poker in the room."
Gu Xian glanced at him clearly and did not expose him.
So the whole family fought against the landlord in the house.
In the beginning, because Gu Lin was familiar with the rules, he won a lot. Others posted a lot of notes on their faces. Unfortunately, he was facing two geniuses. Wen Yan has an excellent memory and can count cards, so within a short while, Wen Yan and the elders of the Gu family had papers all over their faces, and they couldn't see the cards clearly.
Gu Lin had to admit that genius is not something that can be defeated by experience. With his many years of experience in fighting landlords, it's not that he can't beat these two beginners.
Genius should be burned.
Fighting Landlords conquered the Gu family with its unique charm, and made them forget the time. They didn't realize that it was midnight and the year was over until someone started setting off firecrackers.
"That's it for today." Old man Gu took the lead in throwing down the cards, "I'll set off the firecrackers first."
"You're lying." Wen Yan wanted to cry with a good hand of cards. He was so lucky this time, and his hand of cards was really explosive. He was about to kill all directions, but Old Man Gu ran away, which was a waste.
"Who says I'm lying, it's time, it's time to set off firecrackers." Old man Gu looked confident.
"Old man, you are just cheating." Mrs. Gu also had a dissatisfied face. She was crushed too badly by old man Gu, and just wanted to win it back with this, but who knew that old man ran away, and the feeling of punching cotton was really uncomfortable. good.
"I'm too lazy to be as knowledgeable as you." Old man Gu picked up the prepared firecrackers and fled.
After a while, there were firecrackers outside.
The new year has finally arrived.
Chapter 48
"The ridge is collapsing!!" Gu Lin was sleeping comfortably, when she heard Wen Yan yelling at the top of her voice in a daze, and then the quilt was thrown off when she felt cold.
"Don't make trouble." Shrinking his body, he shrank himself into a ball.
"Get up, the ridge is about to collapse." Seeing that the trick of lifting the quilt was useless, Wen Yan started shaking him again.
"It's been a long time since I haven't farmed, and there is no field to collapse." Gu Lin said in a daze.
He vaguely thought that he was still at home, modern life, and some customs of the year that everyone didn't follow, such as the custom of getting up early on the first day of the new year, otherwise the fields would collapse, and everyone didn't care.
He has not been dragged to get up early on the first day of junior high school for many years, and he is still a little bit overwhelmed.
"Where is there no land?" Wen Yan muttered, throwing the new clothes that Mrs. Gu had prepared on Gu Lin's body, "Hurry up!"
"Okay, okay." Gu Lin was so disturbed by him that he sat up in a daze, closed his eyes and began to undress.
Seeing him start changing clothes, Wen Yan was embarrassed to look at him, his eyes turned around, looking around but not looking at Gu Lin.
"Huh?" Seeing the red corner under the pillow, he couldn't help but reached out and took it. When he took a look, he couldn't help being startled, it turned out to be a red envelope.
That's right, on New Year's Eve, the parents would put the New Year's money under their pillows while their children were asleep. He hadn't received the New Year's money for too many years, so he forgot about it.
I'm so envious, Wen Yan glanced at the red envelope in his hand, and sighed slightly in his heart.
However, he tugged on the brand new clothes on his body, and quickly adjusted himself. The Gu family was not related to him, but they treated him so well. One must be content, and not be too greedy, like a white-eyed wolf.
Here Gu Lin has already dressed, saw the red envelope in Wen Yan's hand, thought it was the red envelope given to Wen Yan by Gu's family, and looked at Wen Yan's expression a little strangely, thought he was embarrassed, couldn't help laughing, "Here Just take what's yours, don't think too much."
"Eh?" Wen Yan was taken aback for a moment before realizing that Gu Lin was thinking wrong, and handed the red envelope to Gu Lin, "This is for you, put it under your pillow."
"Give it to me?" Gu Lin was also a little dazed. Since he was 18 years old, he has given his parents the New Year's money. It has been a long time since he received the New Year's money. Guo Wenyan opened the red envelope in his hand and saw that there were two small silver peanuts inside, which is a very common style for giving lucky money to children.
"Huh, here's another one?" Now that Gu Lin had gotten up, Wen Yan started to tidy up the bed, put it away and found a red envelope under the pillow on the side where she was sleeping.
"It should be for you." Gu Lin stretched his neck to look, "Take it apart and have a look."
"En." Wen Yan didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had turned up, and carefully opened the red envelope. Inside were three peanuts that were the same as those in Gu Lin's red envelope.
"It's actually more than mine." Gu Lin pouted, the two elders of the Gu family really liked Wen Yan very much.
"How about I share one with you?" Seeing that Gu Lin's face was a little strange, Wen Yan asked cautiously.
"What for me?" Gu Lin was puzzled, and after thinking for a while, she realized that Wen Yan was probably afraid that he would be jealous?I couldn't help but smile a little, and patted Wen Yan on the shoulder, "Kids, don't think so much."
"I'm already 16, not a kid anymore."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are not a child, you can marry a wife." Gu Lin suppressed a smile, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Wen Yan is indeed 16, and only children can firmly remember that the Chinese New Year is one year older. Adults can't wait to forget about it.
"I don't want to marry a wife." Wen Yan muttered softly.
"What?" Gu Lin didn't hear clearly, and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing." Wen Yan was a little angry, what's the matter with Gu Lin, he keeps saying this, is he trying to imply something?
Gu Lin was just joking, who knew that Wen Yan thought so much, anyway, he packed up, dragged Wen Yan and went outside, "Go eat, there are rice cakes to eat today."
Eating rice cakes on the first day of the first lunar month, worshiping God and paying New Year's greetings, the first day of the New Year is bustling and bustling.
The second son-in-law pays homage to Yue's family.
Naturally, Gu Xian wanted to go to Jing's house. Gu Lin thought about it, and asked Gu Xian to bring it to Jing Zhi after writing about the tofu house, so Gu Xian set off early in the morning with the gift prepared by Mrs. Gu and the two children.
And the Gu family has no daughter, so there is no such thing as a daughter and son-in-law coming back to pay New Year's greetings. When Gu Xian fell ill this year, Mrs. Gu's mother secretly stuffed her with some money. The gift preparation is more abundant.
I wanted Gu Lin to go with him, but Gu Lin thought that Wen Yan was alone at home and was a bit lonely, so he shook his head and refused.
Gu Pozi thought about it, and it was the same reason, so she didn't force it.
So the two of them played and played with each other for a day, and Gu Lin suddenly wanted to eat hot pot on a whim, so the two ran to the old blacksmith's house in the village on a whim, insisting on helping him make a hot pot.
The old blacksmith was alone, without a wife and child. On days like the second day of the first lunar month, seeing other people either visiting their parents-in-law or their daughter returning home, he had nothing, and felt desolate. At this time, Wen Yan and Gu Lin came He didn't feel so lonely with all kinds of gags in his house, so he also made a fuss along with it.
Until the last time when Gu Lin and Wen Yan left with the freshly baked hot pot, he still looked at the door for a long time.
Gu Lin and Wen Yan didn't know how long the old blacksmith had been watching them. They went home and worked together to prepare the soup base and ingredients.
It's a pity that there is no chili, Gu Lin looked at the bone soup tumbling in the big pot, and felt a little regretful, always feeling that there is no spicy soup base, and hot pot is not tasty enough.
When Gu Xian and the elders of the Gu family came back, the soup base and ingredients were almost ready.
The Gu family is very used to the weird things that Gu Lin fiddles with from time to time, anyway, every time he makes things that are beneficial and harmless, they just let him go.
The things made today probably have something to do with eating, so Gu Xian consciously cut out the gift from the Jing family on a plate.
Seeing what Gu Xian cut out, Gu Lin's eyes lit up, it turned out to be venison, and now he is lucky.
A hot pot meal made the Gu family sweat profusely, but they were extremely satisfied.
The second year of junior high school passed like this.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth days of junior high school. . .Until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, it was spent in all kinds of excitement, various customs and eating and drinking.
Can't be so depraved anymore, Gu Lin squeezed her face with a lot of flesh, and secretly made up her mind.
Who knew it would be broken the next day.
The next day is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and there will be a lantern festival in Huazhen.
Gu Lin took Wen Yan to the Lantern Festival, so he ate all kinds of snacks again.
Pinching her fleshy face again, Gu Lin thought, Old Master Confucius said that only delicious food and beautiful women should not be let down. Since the sages have said so, I should listen to the sages.
So Gu Lin intensified even more.
Confucius was dumbfounded, when did I say such a thing? ? ?
Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the year is over and work can start.
Without delay, Gu Lin summoned the workers to start making paper.
Everything went smoothly. Although the workers didn't know how to do it at first, after Gu Lin pointed out a few times, they quickly got started.
The advantage of hiring people from the village is that these people are more hardworking and will not steal or play tricks. Gu Lin is very relieved and has time to brew his wine.
When it comes to wine making, water is very important, so Gu Lin wanted to use the mountain spring water from Otaru.
Thinking that the best mountain spring water in Otaru is in a relatively deep mountain, and you can only pick it, Gu Lin feels that there is nothing to love in life. He has not carried water for many years, who knows if he can still pick it.
Do you want to hire someone?
Gu Lin stroked her chin and thought about who would be more suitable.
When Gu Lin was troubled, Ah Jia came back.
Before the Chinese New Year, when Ah Jia recovered from his illness, Gu Lin asked him to go home for the Chinese New Year without saying anything or making a contract. He thought that he would never come back after he went back. After all, there was no restriction.
Unexpectedly, he came back again.
Perhaps Gu Lin's expression was too surprised, and Ah Jia was a little embarrassed, a little stern, "What's your expression?"
"Aren't you afraid of being betrayed by me?" Gu Lin deliberately teased him, "You still owe me money."
"I'll work for you to repay the debt." Ah Jia obviously had already made up his mind when he went back this time, "I'll leave after I've done enough work for the money."
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay off the debt no matter what you do?"
"If that's the case, it's my fate." Ah Jia thought of the unscrupulous shop owner, blushed a little, but said.
Hearing this, Gu Lin was a little surprised. He looked at Ajia several times up and down, and didn't know what happened during the time he went back. Ajia looked a little decadent, giving people the feeling that he had resigned to his fate. He went back to celebrate the New Year, but it turned out like this when he came back. Gu Lin was also surprised, and he didn't know what could hit him like this.
After thinking about it, Gu Lin felt that it would be better to give him a reassurance, "I'm lying to you, you can leave after you have deducted the wages." Feeling that saying this meant driving people away, Gu Lin answered again , "Of course, you can stay if you want. The salary is still the same as it is now. I will give you 50 Wen a day."
"Okay." Hearing this, Ah Jia just nodded without showing a happy expression.
Gu Lin shook his head. It seems that this person was really beaten. After all, the wages he gave are quite high now, and the wages of the workers in the paper mill are not so much. In the end, A Jia still didn't respond.
"When do I start working?"
"Just today." Gu Lin pointed to the bucket on the side, "Follow me up the mountain to fetch water."
Ajia didn't look at it, picked up the bucket and set off.
Although the mountain spring is in a deep forest, the location is not difficult to find. Gu Lin has been there before, and they have already marked it, so they found the location quickly.
Ajia looks very strong, but in fact he is really strong. He jumped steadily with a bucket of water, but Lu Yuandan crushed the dead lightly, and Ajia carried it at a slow speed. When they got down, Gu Lin didn't just watch from the side, and when Ah Jia couldn't walk, he would pick him.
Gu Lin, who hadn't picked a burden for a long time, felt like he had picked a mountain, silently making up his mind that he must build a tap water.
Once there is water, winemaking begins.
Gu Lin learned the art of brewing wine from his grandfather. His grandfather was an old alcoholic, but he was also a very picky alcoholic. At that time, the family was too poor to drink good wine, and his grandfather was picky, so he went to other wineries to steal a teacher. I didn't learn everything, but I still made a very good wine with my own tinkering.
It was at that time that Gu Lin learned how to make wine. He was quite talented in this area, and even his genius brother couldn't beat him.
Although it took a lot of time to make koji before, with koji, the step of making wine is relatively simple, and it can be said that it is easy to do.
The days passed slowly in papermaking and wine making.
When the first batch of paper in the paper mill is completed, it is already the time when the peach blossoms are gorgeous, and Huazhen is ushering in her most beautiful time. At this time, literati and poets will gather in Huazhen, which is simply the best time to launch new paper. Thinking of this, Gu Lin was overjoyed.
Touching the freshly baked paper, Gu Lin smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He felt that his time was coming, and it was really worth clarifying.
Thinking of the wine, he thought of the first batch of wine he made, and it should be time to unseal it. The release of his wine at this time will definitely calm down the group of people who have never drunk good wine. The new paper plus New wine, this is the rhythm of getting rich.
Thinking of this, Gu Lin quickly ran to the wine cellar and took out a sealed jar.
"Xiao Lin, who are you?" Gu Xian was sorting out his manuscripts. After several months, he finally prepared the articles about punctuation marks. There are ten articles with good reason.
When the peach blossom season comes, there must be countless literary fairs in Huazhen, and there must be an endless stream of literati and poets gathered in Huazhen. As long as these articles are displayed at the literary fairs, they will not worry about being famous all over the world.
Thinking of this, Gu Xian felt that his blood was going to heat up. He had been silent for so long that almost everyone had forgotten him. Even he himself doubted whether he was still the genius boy praised by everyone before. His rare opportunity must be seized.
Thinking that Gu Lin gave him this opportunity, he was full of gratitude to Gu Lin.
"My wine should be ready to be unsealed. Open a jar and try it." Gu Lin put the wine on the table, took out the white porcelain bowl that he had prepared long ago, opened the mud seal of the jar, and a scent of wine spread over the surface.
Gu Lin's eyes lit up when he smelled this smell, the taste is so good, it proves half the success, and he can't wait to pour the wine into the white porcelain bowl.
The wine is clear and transparent, with a tangy aroma, you can tell it's a good wine at a glance.
Dashao is currently brewing wine. After fermenting in the cellar, the wine is not steamed, but filtered to obtain the wine. This kind of wine is not as clear as steamed wine. In terms of taste, it can't be compared with this altar made by Gu Lin.
Gu Xian picked up the wine bowl, and saw that the color of the wine in the bowl was as clear as crystal, after a sniff, it was as mellow as orchids, and after taking a sip, it was sweet and mellow in the mouth, and aftertaste carefully, it felt like it would last for a long time.
Gu Xian just felt that no gorgeous words were enough to describe the deliciousness of this wine, and in the end he could only spit out the most primitive compliments.
"Good wine!"
Chapter 49
Gu Lin was slightly complacent. When he first smelled the wine, he felt that the wine must not be wrong. Seeing Gu Xian's reaction, he was even more sure.
So he picked up another bowl and took a sip slowly, well, although it can't compare with those famous wines from the Celestial Dynasty, it is still several blocks away from Dashao's so-called best wine. Gu Lin felt that what he drank was not wine, it was obvious It's money.
Thinking that there are still dozens of altars in the wine cellar, the peach blossom season is coming soon, and the peach blossom wine is about to start brewing, Gu Lin's whole body is in a good mood, and he will become a local tyrant in a short time, marry Bai Fumei, and start life Peak.
"Xiao Lin, now that the wine is ready, do you have any ideas on how to sell it?" Gu Xian asked after taking another sip of the wine.
He is not a person who loves wine, but this wine is so delicious that he can't hold it.
"This, I already have a preliminary idea, but I have to go to the town tomorrow to make a decision." Gu Lin had an idea, but he didn't have any contacts in the town, so it might not be very suitable, anyway, go to the town tomorrow It's also good to explore the road.
"That's good." Although Gu Xian didn't know Gu Lin's plan, but he also had some thoughts in his mind, but he might have to ask his old friends to see, anyway, the husband is going to celebrate his birthday recently, and his classmates will rush back, why not Let's see if there's a way.
"I'll look at other wines." The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, especially this kind of unique wine, which is even more rare.Therefore, Gu Lin didn't care much about the promotion of the new wine, and quickly put it behind him and continued to check his new wine.
Gu Xian, who has already tasted a delicacy, will naturally not miss the tasting of new wine, so he sat obediently and waited for Gu Lin's new wine.
So when Wen Yan came back, what he saw were two drunk people.
Gu Xian was fine, he sat quietly on the side after getting drunk, counting the lines on the table with staring eyes.
Gu Lin, on the other hand, was more unrestrained, gesticulating with a branch, and muttering, "Ten steps to kill a person, thousands of miles, thousands of miles, no way..."
After reading, he pointed at Gu Xian with a tree branch, "Brother, brother, tell me, am I the number one swordsman in the world?"
"Yes." Gu Xian stared at the big eyes with an innocent face, "Xiao Lin, you say yes."
"I, am I the smartest in the world?" Gu Lin was still not satisfied, and continued to point at Gu Xian with a tree branch, as if you dared to say that I didn't want to slap you.
"You, what you say is right." Gu Xian looked like a good baby, "Xiao Lin is the most, the smartest."
"Good boy." Gu Lin's drunken eyes were blurred, but the hand that didn't hold the branch was very precise on Gu Xian's head, and rubbed it, "Go and count the ants."
"En." Gu Xian showed a pure smile, walked to the wall of the courtyard, squatted down, took a small wooden stick to poke the ants lined up by the wall, and started counting the ants seriously, "One, two, three..."
Seeing him really squatting in the corner to count the ants, Wen Yan felt that his three views were shattered. In his mind, the god-like scholar would obediently count the ants just because of Gu Lin's words. If he could send an emoji at this time Bao, Wen Yan probably can throw out a bunch of goofy expressions, it's just too ruinous, okay?
Wen Yan felt that if he continued to watch, he might lose control and rush over, shake Gu Xian's shoulder vigorously and growl, wake up, wake up, you are a scholar, a genius, how can you count ants here? ? ?What about your dignity as a scholar! ! !How can you let me look directly at you in the future? ? ? ?
In order to prevent himself from really losing control and rushing over to offend Mr. Xiucai, he turned his head wittily, no longer looked at Gu Xian, but instead looked at Gu Lin who was still waving the branch. Singing a tune that Wen Yan didn't understand, "You are my little apple, I can't love you too much, red..."
Listening to the chaotic humming, Wen Yan said that he really wanted to go up and cover his mouth, it was really embarrassing.
Before he could rush up, Gu Lin had already rushed over, grabbed Wen Yan's hand and shook it, "Come on, I'll teach you, tell you, I'm a master dancer, punching Nanshan Nursing Home, kicking Beihai kindergarten..."
Wen Yan was staggered by him, and almost fell over, so he could only hug him.
Feeling that she couldn't move anymore, Gu Lin struggled desperately, "Let go, let me go, I, I can still dance!!"
Wen Yan hugged him tightly, Gu Lin used both hands and feet, like an octopus waving its tentacles.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Old man Gu saw Wen Yan hugging Gu Lin tightly when he came back from the field. It's all good, what's wrong?
"Brother Gu and Gu Lin are drunk." Wen Yan said while restraining Gu Lin.
"Drunk?" Old man Gu noticed the strong smell of alcohol in the air, "Well, how much must you have drunk?"
"Uncle, look at Brother Gu first, I'll get Gu Lin into the house first." Wen Yan didn't have time to explain to him, he felt that he was going to be unable to control Gu Lin, so while he was still able to control Gu Lin, he desperately pushed Gu Lin into the house. Rin dragged it into the room.
"Da Lang, get up, it's cold on the ground." Seeing Wen Yan dragging Gu Lin into the room, the old man walked up to Gu Xian and patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Xian had already counted to the 290th eighth ants, but he was interrupted by the old man just like that, so he turned his head and stared at the old man very dissatisfied, "I haven't finished counting yet, so don't disturb me."
Being stared at by Gu Xian's dark eyes, the old man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he patted Gu Xian on the shoulder again, "Shall we go back to the house and count?"
"Not good." Gu Xian refused straight away, "Ah Yue will come back only after counting [-]. I haven't counted enough yet."
Ah Yue?
Old man Gu was taken aback, Ah Yue seemed to be the maiden name of his dead eldest daughter-in-law.
Seeing his son squatting in the corner and earnestly counting ants, Old Man Gu sighed. This child always makes people feel distressed.
"I'm lying to you, you just need to go to sleep and she will come back." Old man Gu pulled Gu Xian up and persuaded.
"Really?" Gu Xian still opened his eyes wide, expectant.
Being looked at by such a pair of eyes, old man Gu almost failed, but he held back after thinking about it, "Let's go, I'll take you there."
"Go to sleep." Gu Xian narrowed his eyes when he got the answer he wanted.
Here Gu Xian has been tricked by old man Gu to sleep, while Gu Lin is still making trouble on the other side.
"You, you sing for me!" Gu Lin grabbed his collar relentlessly, preventing Wen Yan from ripping off his clothes.
"What are you singing?" Wen Yan felt that he was going to be impatient. What kind of trouble is this person, who looks like a chaste woman, going to make trouble?Do you think others will insult him?Don't even think about it, a drunk, what's wrong with being rude, "If you don't take off your clothes, I'll beat you up."
"How about I sing one for you?" Gu Lin still held on to the neckline, but began to sing loudly, "Give me a piece of blue sky, a newborn sun, give me a piece of green grass..."
Hearing his magic sound piercing the wall again, Wen Yan stretched out his hand to cover Gu Lin's mouth, unexpectedly Gu Lin licked his palm, he felt as if his palm had been scalded by a soldering iron, and instantly retracted.
Thinking of Gu Lin's soft tongue and the touch of his palm, Wen Yan's face turned red.
"Hey, I'm blushing." Gu Lin's drunken eyes were hazy, but she saw Wen Yan's flushed face at a glance, and couldn't help holding his face, "It's like an apple, but I don't know how it tastes?"
After thinking about it, he felt that he had to take a bite to know what it tasted like, so he took a bite and bit Wen Yan's cheek.
bitten?
Wen Yan was in a daze, and even forgot to dodge, just maintaining the posture of being bitten.
"The taste doesn't seem to be very good." Gu Lin let go of Wen Yan's face, smashed his mouth, and looked disgusted.
"You're so tall!" Wen Yan laughed back angrily, gave Gu Lin a violent chestnut, pushed him to the bed without taking off his clothes, and held him down with the quilt, "What are you doing?" I sleep well!!"
"It's not delicious." Gu Lin was very wronged and muttered.
"Sleep!" Wen Yan covered his head with the quilt.
Gu Lin fell silent. After a while, Wen Yan lifted the quilt covering his face. Gu Lin had already closed his eyes and slept peacefully.
It is also amazing to sleep when you say sleep.
Wen Yan muttered before pulling the quilt for him and going out.
"It's really hard to bite." Wen Yan looked in the mirror, there was a tooth mark on his face, and the surrounding area was already slightly darkened, and it hurt so much that he moved a little.
Wen Yan couldn't help but go back, and slapped Gu Lin hard on the forehead twice.
Gu Lin slept as if she was dead, without any reaction, which made Wen Yan feel no sense of accomplishment.
Feeling that it's pointless to bully a sleeping person, Wen Yan didn't touch him anymore, and went out to get a hot towel to cover his face.
When Gu Lin woke up the next day, he only felt a splitting headache and couldn't remember what happened yesterday.
"Who told you to drink so much?" Mrs. Gu handed him a bowl of honey water.
"Didn't you pay attention?" Gu Lin was a little embarrassed, took a big sip of the honey water, "How is it, big brother?"
"Still asleep." Mrs. Gu muttered, "You young people really don't know how to control yourself."
"Be careful next time, please be careful next time." Gu Lin begged for mercy.
"Want to have a next time?" Gu Pozi glared at him, "This time I bit Xiaoyan like this, why don't you eat him next time?"
"Xiaoyan?" Gu Lin was puzzled, he couldn't remember what happened yesterday.
"No, you were bitten, and there was a big bruise on your face." Mrs. Gu was very dissatisfied with this matter, drinking like that, and hurt Xiaoyan like that, so she couldn't control it.
"I'll go and have a look." Gu Lin stuffed the empty bowl to Mrs. Gu, jumped off the bed, and ran out in a hurry.
"Slow down!" Mrs. Gu really looked down on his bluffing behavior.
Gu Lin ran to the yard without hesitation, while Wen Yan was squatting on the ground cutting a piece of wood.
Wen Yan's water truck has become famous in the nearby villages, and those who have rivers passing by in the village have raised money to order a water truck from him. It's already spring plowing time, so those villages are rushing for the water truck, and Wen Yan spends most of his time making water trucks. his waterwheel.
Today is no exception.
Gu Lin squatted down and looked at Wen Yan seriously. There was a big tooth mark on Wen Yan's fair and tender face. The edges of the tooth marks were blue, and some were even purple-black, which looked shocking.Gu Lin only felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and before he figured out why, his hand had already touched his face spontaneously, "Does it hurt?"
"Nonsense? Try being bitten?" Sensing that he was asking nonsense, Wen Yan rolled his eyes, and the boss snarled unhappily.
"Then, let you bite it back." Gu Lin put his cheeks together as if he was dead.
Seeing him with his eyes closed, looking generous and righteous, Wen Yan said unhappily, "No need, if the dog bites you, there's no need to bite it back."
Gu Lin who was treated like a dog:......
"Go aside, don't get in the way of my work." Seeing him squatting still, she gently reasoned and pushed him to move his position, so as not to hinder him from making money.
Recently, Wen Yan has earned a bit more, and he has become more motivated. If this continues, he will be able to build a house in a short time. Think about it, he is more motivated.
