The matter of brewing wine was discussed. On the second day, before dawn, Huo Jinshui and Zheng Shihai's family basically dispatched the whole family, carrying baskets on their backs early, and went up to the mountain to pick wild fruits before the villagers got up.

The purpose of doing this quietly behind the villagers' backs is naturally to keep the work secret, in case the villagers see them going up the mountain to pick fruits, and they don't know the situation and get mixed up with the mentality of following suit.

Huo Chengyi didn't want to act like a thief, but the problem was that the relationship between families in the village was like a spider's web, and every family had some relatives. If they didn't come quietly, the news about wine making would definitely cause trouble.

Especially if Huo Jinshui is the village head, there will definitely be jealous people using the excuse of "the village head is good for the whole village" to force Huo Jinshui to help everyone make money together. Let them take out the recipe for wine making and share it with the whole village!

What should they do then?One big trouble.

Huo Chengyi doesn't mind pulling the villagers to make money together. In fact, he has many ideas that need the help of the villagers. These are human resources. If the villagers are not bad, it is not a problem to bring everyone to make a fortune.

But the problem is that he is still short of money, and his family is also in trouble. If he shows kindness and pulls the villagers to make money together, he would be stupid. The prerequisite for doing good things is to have ability.

What's more, the people in the village don't have a good relationship with him now, and there are some people who don't deal with him. It is a test to let him lead everyone to make money together. He is not a holy father, and he will not do things that are not thankful.

The families of Huo Jinshui and Zheng Shihai also expressed their agreement. They are not fools. If there are more people who share the money, it means that they could get a big chicken leg and end up as a chicken butt!

Of the three families, except for those who were left to watch the house and could not work, there were a total of ten people who went up the mountain to pick them this time, including Huo Jinshui's two daughters-in-law. Don't underestimate women. Women in the village work no worse than men.

Specifically, Huo Chengyi declared the type of mountain fruit to be picked. Everyone divided into three groups and divided the picking. After everyone picked it, they sent it directly to Zheng Shihai's house for storage.

Because Zheng's house is the closest to the back mountain, the location is relatively remote, there are no neighbors around, and the villagers are afraid that the father and son are hunting, and they usually don't run to his house for no reason, so the things are sent to Zheng. Home is the most secure and confidential.

Everyone has a clear goal and hurry up to work. The fruits on the mountain are already ripe. If you don’t pick them back quickly, they will all rot.

But fortunately, everyone is a strong young man, and they all work honestly and do not slack off, so the speed is very fast. As long as ten people grit their teeth and work hard, they can all be picked in one day today.

"Father, do you think this wine can be made? Where did Daniel find the wine recipe?"

The father and son of the Zheng family acted in groups, carrying basket after basket of wild fruits home.

Although the two sons of Zheng's family didn't speak much and looked like dumb people, they were not stupid in their hearts. They were just as worried as Aunt Huo.

"We'll know when it succeeds."

Zheng Shihai is not good at words, and he has no idea in his heart, but there is no reason to stop after everything has been done.

If you can’t make any money this time, it’s not a big loss to be a freelancer. If you can really get dozens of taels of silver during the Chinese New Year, then the two sons will be able to marry their wives next year.

But even though he had no idea, Zheng Shihai gradually became more at ease looking at Huo Chengyi who had been working hard and never shouted tired. Maybe this time the big cow is serious, and everyone can really make money.

On the other side, Hawkingshui's two sons and daughters-in-law also had similar thoughts in their hearts. Although they were worried, they both decided that they could not give up halfway.

Although there are a lot of wild fruits in the back mountain, ten strong laborers can dry them very quickly.

Even Huo Jinshui's second boy, a scholar, although his physical strength is not as good as everyone's, is also very hard-working. He is not at all like some scholars who only talk about the nobleness of Fengyue, and are very pragmatic.

Huo Chengyi's senses are very good. In the original owner's memory, the boys who were studying in the village all looked like they had noses on top of their heads. I have to say that his uncle's family style is very good.

When it was very dark, almost all the fruits were picked, and they were piled up in Zheng's house, and the number was very considerable.

According to visual estimation, each kind of fruit weighs two to three thousand catties, and the three kinds add up to nearly ten thousand catties, which simply exceeds Huo Chengyi's estimated quantity.

However, the mountain behind Huangxi Village is really big. It is connected with several other peaks and can be called a mountain range. The water and soil are excellent. It is not surprising that so many wild fruits can be produced. It's fine too.

Anyway, the more fruit the better, he also hopes to have more, then he can make a lot of money.

After the fruit is picked, the rest is to process the brewing, and a large tank, sugar, and other auxiliary tools are needed.

These things are easy to find, and they are basically available for sale in the town, but the price is not cheap, especially sugar, which costs 15 renminbi a catty, almost catching up with the price of meat, which invisibly increases the cost a lot.

Everyone who usually wants to break a copper plate into two petals is very heartbroken, but they can only hope that the fruit wine will be successfully brewed and the price will be raised to earn back.

Huo Chengyi didn't speak, just worked with his head depressed.

He hasn't mentioned the follow-up things such as the need to customize a white porcelain bottle to hold the wine, which cost more money than buying sugar, otherwise how could he estimate the cost to everyone at 30 taels.

Now that there are so many fruits, I am afraid that the cost will have to be increased. After all, if you want the product to sell well, beautiful packaging is absolutely essential.

But Huo Jinshui and others may not understand this idea, so he didn't explain many details. Anyway, when the wine is brewed, everyone will not feel sorry for the capital if they can make money.

The fruit was given to Zheng Shihai and his three fathers and sons to watch, and Huo Chengyi then assigned what to buy later, who would buy it, and assigned the tasks, so that everyone went home for dinner.

……

At the Huo family, Wang Xiuzhu and the two children were at home, and they could still cook if they couldn't do heavy work. They made dinner early and waited for the man to come back to eat.

Dinner was the same as before, with mushy vegetables and black corn buns, but there was an extra bowl of roe deer meat that Huo Chengyi had brought back before.

Although it is boiled in plain water, it is also good oil and water in the eyes of the villagers. Everyone at the dinner table is very happy to eat except Huo Chengyi.

It wasn't that he was hypocritical and disliked. The meat that he invited Hawkingshui's family to eat that day was over-oiled. Although it wasn't delicious, it was still more delicious than this plain boiled meat that was done with a little salt.

Let him, a modern person who is used to eating fine grain meals, eat these mushy wild vegetables and don't know what to make of black steamed bread and boiled meat every day, it is too much suffering!

"Brother, I want to go to town tomorrow."

For the sake of his own stomach, Huo Chengyi resolutely put down his chopsticks and proposed after looking at the champion who was disgusted and also had no appetite.

He felt that he should quickly add something to the house. Clothes, quilts, tables, chairs and benches, especially the seasonings for cooking, must be bought back, otherwise he would definitely die of pain if he ate like this.

And his champion brother, when he retired from the army, he promised that he would eat well and drink spicy food in the future, but now, since time travel, he hasn't had a good day!

The brewing work will not start until tomorrow when Hawkingshui and the others buy the jar of rock candy, etc., and there will be no delay in taking him out during the day.

"Okay, you go, I'll give you your sister-in-law's prescription later, and then I'll grab two medicines and bring back a pack of dried plums. Both your sister-in-law and big ya like it..."

Huo Dashan had no objection, before Huo Daniu would never tell his family when he went out, he quickly asked him to buy something for him while he was eating the cornbread.

After finishing speaking, he still wanted to get the silver, but Huo Chengyi stopped him, "Brother, I have silver on me."

They are a family now, honor and disgrace together, he is not as thick-skinned as the original owner and continues to eat and use Huo Dashan for free.

What's more, he knows exactly how much Huo Dashan has. Duan Xiaopeng also reported to him last night that Huo Dashan has already returned the ginseng money of the Zhou family's previous ten taels of silver, and the family doesn't have much silver at all now.

But he has quite a lot here. The 20 taels returned by the Liao family did not move, and after Zhou Weibai helped him sell the two orchids, there were at least 40 taels.

But Huo Dashan didn't know, he only knew that Huo Chengyi had the 20 taels of "big money" from the Liao family. According to his thinking, the money was returned by the Liao family as a betrothal gift, and it must be kept for Huo Chengyi to marry a wife. of.

"Daniu, brother knows that you have money, but you are married to a daughter-in-law for that money. When our family gets over a little bit, I will ask your sister-in-law to help you visit people. Let's find someone who is more beautiful than the daughter of the Liao family..."

Huo Dashan looked honest, and Wang Xiuzhu nodded honestly beside him.

Although Daniel is out of tune, he still has to marry a wife. If he can't find a girl as good-looking as the Liao family, he has to find a capable one. Now that Daniel knows that he has changed, he will definitely be able to live in the future.

Huo Chengyi was helpless and moved when he saw this honest couple, he knew this would be the case, these two buns were purely the kind who were cheated and helped to count the money.

Fortunately, this kind of tolerance is limited to his 'brother', otherwise he would have a headache to death facing this kind of big brother and sister-in-law.

Still the same sentence, talking about things with honest people like Huo Dashan and his wife is purely embarrassing themselves.

Huo Chengyi was too lazy to push back and forth, and directly said in a rough voice, "Brother, it's so decided, don't mention the people of the Liao family, and whoever mentions me will be in a hurry." The people in the room immediately shut up and did not refute, speeding up and eating quickly.

So, at the critical moment, bullies still work, and good-mouthed nonsense is so tiring!
