    ?

    If you bought wine, you have to steep it. This time, you bought a lot of wine. According to the prescription, you can only soak two hundred catties of wine. Chen Xinhua didn't want to soak all the wine, and he planned to bring a few hundred catties back to Shenzhen.  Bubble.

    Making wine is very simple, the key is to have a recipe, but the pre-preparation for making wine is quite troublesome. First of all, you need to clean the porcelain pot and dry it to prevent raw water in it.

    ? If you are going to bring some wine back to Shenzhen for soaking, then you need to bring porcelain jars, so Chen Xinhua washed ten of them at once this time, saving you the trouble of washing them in Shenzhen.  The new porcelain jar is not very dirty, and it is easy to wash. It will be clean after being washed with a cotton cloth, and then put it in the sun to dry.

    Chen Xinhua took advantage of the time to dry the porcelain pots, and was going to dig some loess to make wine seals. This soil method can be said to be the only way to store wine. He carried a small bucket, found a hoe in the corner, picked it up, and went out the door.

    The soil at the back of the mountain is all loess. Use a hoe to dig a few times at any place to dig out the thin surface layer, and there is red loess underneath.

    To collect loess, there is no need to dig the surface soil by yourself, because the loess has good viscosity, so some loess is needed to build a house, and there is a place for digging loess in the back mountain.  Not much loess is needed to make wine seals. When Chen Xinhua came to the place where the soil was fetched, he dug a few times with a hoe, and the small bucket he brought couldn't hold it.

    When I got home and put down the hoe, I went to the yard and looked at the porcelain pots. They were basically all dry, only a few of which still had some drops of water inside.  Chen Ma came back from the outside at this time, "It's only done after drying for a while."

    "It's almost done. This time I only brew four cans of wine. It doesn't matter if it's not dry. I'll take the rest to Shenzhen."

    Chen Ma said: "Hey, I don't understand. What are you doing with so much wine? If you want to drink it, you can't finish it by yourself."

    "Mom, I gave this wine as a gift, and I drank so much of it myself."

    "You can take your time, I have something to do with your eldest sister's house."

    "OK."

    There is no cellar at home, so we have to find a cool place to store it. Chen Xinhua had thought about this place a long time ago. It is the back room. That room is covered by a big camphor tree, and the sun seldom shines on it. It is a good place to store wine.  .

    Cleared out a corner of the back room, picked four sun-dried porcelain jars, and placed them in the corner. This place is only for temporary storage. When the new house was built, Chen Xinhua had already planned to build a cellar.  If you have a large amount of wine, you have to buy some Moutai for storage. If the quantity is large, it is also an investment. It is also good to drink it yourself without investment.

    Among the four cans of wine brewed this time, one can is new wine, and the remaining three tanks are the five-year cellar. After a period of time, compare the two wines to see if the quality of the medicinal wine brewed from the cellar will be good.  will be better.

    All the preparations were done. The four packs of traditional Chinese medicine were poured into porcelain pots, and then grain wine was added in proportion. Chen Xinhua poured two and a half pots into each pot, about sixty catties per pot.

    After finishing these, cover the lid that comes with the porcelain jar, and then paste the yellow mud mixed with water on it. The thickness should be at least two centimeters, so that it can play a good role in sealing.

    Looking at his own work, Chen Xinhua felt that something was missing between the wine seals he made and the owner of the wine workshop. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that the red paper on it was missing.

    I quickly went out to find red paper and cut four circles that were about the same size as wine seals. I pasted them carefully and stuck them firmly. At this time, the feeling was different. It was beautiful and festive, and it could also increase the airtightness.  yes

    In the past two or three days, apart from accompanying his mother to visit relatives, Chen Xinhua spent every day hanging out in the village.  It's self-evident why I just want to play with him, life is very easy.

    The relaxed days passed quickly, and two or three days passed by inadvertently. I played mahjong last night and came home very late. I was lying on the bed, and the door was knocked on the mountain.

    "Don't get up yet, the sun is already high."

    Chen Xinhua rubbed his eyes and glanced at the time on his watch, "Mom, it's only eight o'clock now."

    "Is eight o'clock still early? I haven't bought any food for the New Year at home. Do you want to celebrate the New Year?"

    Yes, I am twenty-nine today, and it will be New Year¡¯s Eve in one day. In some places, it is the New Year¡¯s Eve today, and I am really playing crazy.

    "Oh, oh, I'll get up right away."

    At this time, Chen Xinhua seemed to be fitted with a spring. He sat up on the bed in one go, and put on his clothes in two or three strokes. This speed was only available when he followed the delivery in Shenzhen.

    ? Washing your face, brushing your teeth, and eating breakfast, a few things are useless in total.In a few minutes, when he finished his work, Mama Chen was ready to go out.

    It is convenient to have a car. It was only eight o'clock when I went out, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to reach the town.  In the past, when I went to the town, not to mention walking, it took me half an hour to ride a bicycle. This means that when the weather is good and it is not raining, if it rains, two or three dirt roads are enough for you. Loess  When it meets water, it is like moon glue, which can't be shaken off even if it sticks to the shoes.

    Chen Xinhua found a spacious place to park his car, and he and his mother carried a big bamboo basket and squeezed into the small streets of the town. Tomorrow will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and the last day of the year will be left.  Tomorrow, there will be no people in the town to set up stalls, and businessmen will also celebrate the New Year.

    Today, Chen Xinhua feels that there are more people than yesterday, and it is not an exaggeration to use shoulder to shoulder.  Chen Xinhua didn't know what vegetables to buy for the New Year and how many servings. He could only follow behind his mother to help collect money and carry things.

    There are two things that are essential to celebrate the New Year in my hometown. One is the chicken, which means auspiciousness, and the New Year must be auspicious and happy; the other is the red carp.

    Chickens, there are a few chickens fed by my mother at home, there is no need to buy them, and the red carp is left as a must. Don¡¯t rush to buy this one, because everyone wants it, so there are many people who sell it  , on the contrary, those who are not too much and not too little should hurry up and buy them, otherwise they really won't be able to buy them.

    What kind of vegetables to buy for the New Year, Chen's mother had already planned in her heart, and she picked out the same ones at different stalls, and the two bamboo baskets she brought would soon be full.

    Finally, I came to the fish stall, almost all the fish sellers were crowded here, there were as many as four or five houses, and the ground was full of plastic pots, which contained all kinds of fish, except for the red carp and the four major fishes.  There are also other species of fish, such as yellow head, eel, loach, juicy carp, crucian carp and so on.

    When Chen Ma was selecting the red carp, Chen Xinhua was also looking at the fish in each pot. At this time, most of the fish were free-range. Although the taste was a little bit different from the pure wild ones, it was better than the ones fed with chemical fertilizers in later generations.  too much.

    Now that there is a chance for rebirth, Chen Xinhua will not let go of such a good thing. Looking at those lively fish, regardless of the price, the yellow head, juicy fish, and rice field eel all came in five or six catties. During the Chinese New Year, there are many people.  Don't be afraid to eat too much.

    When he was ready to pay, Chen Xinhua saw a washbasin next to it, which contained two soft-shelled turtles that kept crawling around in it, trying to crawl out of the washbasin. Chen Xinhua had a pale yellow back shell.  You can tell it's wild at first glance, because the artificially fed ones are all black and not so active.

    "Boss, how to buy this soft-shelled turtle."

    Boss Yu said without looking back, "Eighty-one catties."

    Eighty-one catties, I just bought more than ten catties of fish for only a few hundred yuan. "It's so expensive, is there any less?"

    Boss Yu stopped what he was doing, looked at Chen Xinhua and said, "This soft-shelled turtle is not mine, but a fellow villager left it with me. The price will not be low. I just sell it for him. The wild turtle is about three catties a piece.  Now there are very few soft-shelled turtles of this size."

    "The price is not less, so forget it, help me pack it up and weigh it."

    "Haha, you don't need to weigh it. It's five catties and eight taels. It's four hundred and sixty-four yuan. If you want it together, you can take four hundred and five."

    Chen Xinhua took out his wallet and counted out four Red Bulls, then counted out 50 yuan in change and handed it to Boss Yu.

    The fish boss took the money with a smile, checked the authenticity and found that the money was all right, so he stuffed it into the bag tied around his waist, and found a mesh suit to put the turtle in.

    Chen Xinhua came to the place where the red carp was bought with several bags of fish, and saw that besides the two red carp, there was also a big herring in his mother's hand.

    "Mom, why did you buy a big herring?"

    "Don't eat during Chinese New Year."

    Chen Xinhua wanted to say that the fish tasted bad, and he had already bought it, but he swallowed the words again.

    "Oh, dried herring is delicious."

    Chen Ma also saw the bags in his hand, so she knew they contained fish.

    "Okay, the weather is good during this time, and the herring is dried and eaten."

    After buying all the things to buy, the two of them carried a lot of things in their hands, and when they returned to the parking lot, Chen Xinhua put away the same good things.

    Chen's mother said: "Daxin, don't go to play mahjong after lunch. You can pick up your third sister by car, so that they can come here by bicycle. Not to mention the long distance, the road is not good."

    "It goes without saying that when playing mahjong, it is important to pick someone up." As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in Chen Xinhua's pocket rang.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
