Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

As the sun got higher and higher, the temperature on the mountain also became higher, Zhuang and Qu Yi went down the mountain to go home.

Zhuang originally planned to use the hawthorns she picked to make wine for Qu Yi, but Qu Yi said that he had already picked a lot of hawthorns, and today he could do something else, so Zhuang sent the hawthorns to the kitchen and told the cook Make hawthorn pastry for everyone to try.

The summer is hot, and the hawthorn is sour and sweet, which is very appetizing. The hawthorn cake made from the hawthorn picked by Zhuang's even Liangfu and Liang Kangsheng, who don't like cakes, ate two pieces.

When the hawthorn was mentioned at the dinner table, Qu Yi blinked at Liang Kangsheng, and taking advantage of Liang's father and Zhuang's not paying attention, she pointed at the hawthorn cake quietly, and made a gesture of drinking under the table, which meant to tell Liang Kangsheng that he He told Zhuang about making fruit wine.

Liang Kangsheng nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood. Speaking of which, it is almost time to talk about the fruit wine, just follow what they discussed before.

Because the method of brewing fruit wine is different from that of making rice wine, what Liang Kangsheng discussed with Qu Yi at the beginning was to tell others that Qu Yi heard about the matter of making fruit wine from other people, not to say that he read it in a book. After all, Liang’s father He and Zhuang are both literate, if they also want to read that book, wouldn't they expose it.

The two had a breather, and Liang Kangsheng directly pretended not to know that Qu Yi was making fruit wine, and praised a few words that the hawthorn cake was delicious. They climbed the mountain and wanted to pick the fruit, it was hard work.

Most of the hawthorns used to make haw jelly were picked by Mrs. Zhuang. Seeing that Liang Kangsheng had a better appetite after eating the haw jelly, she thought that she would grow some hawthorn trees on the mountain in time, anyway, the hawthorn is easy to take care of.

I kept thinking about this matter in my heart, and when I was free at night, Mrs. Zhuang found time to discuss with Liang's father about various hawthorns.

Speaking of hawthorn, she couldn't help but think of Qu Yi's talk about brewing fruit wine. After much thought, she finally decided to tell Father Liang about it.

"Our son-in-law can use fruit to make wine?" Father Liang couldn't help raising his eyebrows, quite surprised.

Mrs. Zhuang nodded and shook his head: "I heard from him that he doesn't know how to make wine, but he just wants to try it. I see that he has been picking hawthorns in the mountains recently, and he is quite interested. I just want to ask you if the fruit can really make wine. Let Brother Yi toss about it, if it doesn't work out, I'll think about how to comfort this child in advance."

Father Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of what he had heard outside when he was young.

At that time, there was no Zhuang Qingze to help sell wine, and Liang's father went out to sell wine by himself. At that time, he was walking to the south, and he heard that there were many small countries in the south of Dayu.

Those small countries are completely different from Da Yu. Their weather is very hot and warm all year round, so there are many fruits in those small countries. In some places, different fruits ripen all year round. It is said that some people use their Fruit wine.

Whether it is possible to make wine with fruit, he has not heard from others, and there is no fruit wine from a small country in the south sold to them, so Father Liang can't say for sure.

"I've heard people say it before, but after so many years, we haven't seen fruit wine, maybe it hasn't been brewed, maybe it's not easy to brew, only a very few can succeed, I think you should make a comforter earlier Brother's preparation." Father Liang speculated.

The Liang family brewery has developed a complete set of wine making methods. This is the experience accumulated by their Liang family ancestors from generation to generation. It does not mean that casual wine brewing can be successful.

Mrs. Zhuang was thoughtful when she heard the words, she thought that she would pay more attention to Qu Yi's situation in the future, if she found that he was depressed and had nothing to do, she would quickly show him the family's account books from previous years, so that he could familiarize himself with the family's affairs. Once you get busy, you won't think about things anymore.

Qu Yi and Liang Kangsheng didn't know how Zhuang could comfort Qu Yi after he was already thinking about the failure of wine making. They were discussing how to price the vinegar that was converted into wine.

Liquor is the essence of grain, the better the wine, the more grain it needs, and the higher the price, like Liang's wine can be sold for [-] yuan a catty in Yang'an County, let alone shipped outside.

But the price of ordinary vinegar that everyone can buy in grocery stores is not very high, ranging from [-] to [-] yuan a catty of vinegar. If they follow the cost completely, they will have to sell it for at least [-] yuan per catty.

But when you think about it, the vinegar will cost [-] Wen to get out of their hands, and when it is shipped outside, the price will definitely be [-] Wen, isn't it too high?

Qu Yi was worried that the price would be too high to be sold, so she thought about lowering the price. Anyway, it was originally made from spoiled wine. No matter how much the vinegar was sold, it would be profitable. As long as it was more expensive than ordinary vinegar, it would Well, anyway, they won't make any more vinegar in the future, so sell the vinegar as soon as possible, and don't delay until little uncle Zhuang Qingze comes back and make trouble.

Liang Kangsheng originally thought the same way, but he came back early today, and after taking the time to go to the winery to see the finished vinegar, he had a different idea.

The vinegar of Liangjia Distillery is not black in color like ordinary vinegar. After sedimentation and filtration in the way of processing wine, their vinegar is a very light yellow color, which is lighter than the color of wine when poured into a white porcelain bowl. , he felt that such vinegar could fetch a high price.

However, Liang Kangsheng was not sure how much the price should be. He thought for a while and said to Qu Yi: "Well, tomorrow morning I will go to the wine shop with my father and ask my father what he means. If you tell mother about the fruit wine, how about that?" It's about time to tell dad about the jealousy."

Qu Yi thought that Liang's father had more experience than both of them, and it might be better to let Liang's father make the decision, so he nodded and had no objection: "Then you and father should discuss it, I will concentrate on making fruit wine."

The next day, Liang Kangsheng and Liang's father got into the carriage and left the Liang's house. Just after leaving the house, he asked Liang Duodao to drive to the winery without telling Liang's father in advance.

"Kang Sheng, what are we going to the winery for?" Liang's father was puzzled. There was nothing going on in the winery now. Isn't going to the winery a waste of time?

Liang Kangsheng smiled mysteriously at Father Liang: "Father, I have something very important to tell you. You will understand after you go to the winery."

The reason Liang Kangsheng hadn't told Liang's father about Zhuang Qingze's bad intentions was because he was waiting for an opportunity, and now the opportunity has arrived.

Along the way, Liang's father asked Liang Kangsheng several times what happened, but Liang Kangsheng didn't answer, which made Liang's father even more curious. In the end, he simply didn't ask. Anyway, the wine shop is not far away, and he will know what kind of medicine is buried in the kid's gourd when he arrives. .

After a while, the carriage arrived outside the winery. Father Liang opened the curtain of the carriage and found that the sour smell of the winery was stronger than before, and his confusion became more and more serious.

Liang's father asked Liang Kangsheng when the sour taste was sour before. At that time, Liang Kangsheng explained that he wanted to see why the wine was sour. Later, as the sour taste faded, he didn't care about it. Why did the taste become stronger now?

Liang Kangsheng didn't solve Father Liang's confusion: "Father, let's go in first, and I'll show you something different."

At this time, Master Liu was filtering vinegar with other masters and fellows. As soon as Liang Kangsheng and Liang's father came in, he quickly handed over the matter to others: "Boss, young master!"

Liang Kangsheng asked his father to sit down first, and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, please show me the vinegar from our winery."

"Okay, no problem." Master Liu's eyes lit up. He obeyed the young master's orders to guard the secret of the winery for more than half a year, and the young master finally brought the master over to have a look.

Father Liang froze when he heard Liang Kangsheng and Master Liu talking about vinegar. Before he knew it, his son turned the wine shop into a vinegar shop?

The first reaction was surprise, and after he calmed down, Father Liang's face turned red, and he held back the curse words: "Kang Sheng, the winery is the foundation of our Liang family's ancestors, how can you mess around! "

Father Liang didn't know what was going on, he thought Liang Kangsheng was brewing vinegar in the winery, but he was so anxious and angry that he jumped up and wanted to go inside.

You know, there are rules for everything in the winery, and you can't move it casually. If Liang Kangsheng doesn't know what he broke, how can he make wine this year?

If someone else was here, Liang's father would definitely scold him bloody, but Liang Kangsheng is his son who loves him so much, he is reluctant to scold him.

Liang Kangsheng was not angry because of his father's misunderstanding. After all, his father didn't know anything about it before. He grabbed his father and explained tightly: "Father, you misunderstood. Bad wine."

When Liang Kangsheng told Father Liang about the process of making vinegar, Master Liu also came over with a small jar of vinegar. His expression was excited: "Master, look at the vinegar in our winery!"

How flustered Master Liu was when he found out that a large amount of wine was spoiled, he is now looking forward to it, thinking that the owner will not dislike the vinegar so beautiful.

Everyone doesn't know how to make wine. Fortunately, with the guidance of the young master, they really made vinegar. Although vinegar is not as good as wine, it should be able to recover some losses of the winery. feel better.

The vinegar in the jar was poured into a pure white porcelain bowl, the color was clear and clear, but the sour taste was very strong, which stunned Father Liang again.

Without rushing to talk about other things, Liang Kangsheng asked his father first: "Father, what price do you think this vinegar can set?"

Father Liang didn't answer, he was full of mixed feelings now, he had already felt a little guilty for misunderstanding his son just now, now that he saw the vinegar that his son tried to brew, he felt that no matter how high the price of this vinegar could be sold, it would not be too high!

Seeing that his father didn't speak, Liang Kangsheng tentatively said, "Father, I thought, how about setting the same price with our family's wine?"

Father Liang frowned: "380 Wen? Or [-] Wen?"

It is 380 Wen a catty for people from a commercial firm to buy wine from the Liangjia Winery, and 450 Wen a catty for wine from the restaurants and restaurants in this county. Occasionally, people from nearby villages come to buy wine, because the quantity is small It costs 450 Wen a catty, Liang Kangsheng is obviously not talking about [-] Wen.

However, no matter whether it was 380 or [-], Father Liang didn’t think it would work, so he switched his thinking to the situation of doing business. He looked at the vinegar in the bowl, picked up the chopsticks on the side, dipped a little into his mouth, like tasting wine Close your eyes and savor carefully.
