Chapter three hundred and eighty ninth
"What a thousand miles, from the rivers and seas?" Zhang turned his head and asked Lian Man'er.
"It means to gather more and more," Lian Man'er said, "it is written in the book."
"Mom, this is the "Xunzi" chapter of encouragement to learn," Xiaoqi interrupted, "The reason is very good. I will recite the whole article. Mom, I will recite it to you."
As he said this, Xiaoqi raised his hands and started reciting with his head shaking his head.
"A gentleman said: You can't learn it. Green is taken from blue, and green is blue; ice is made from water, and cold is water. wood..."
The words that are not difficult but contain philosophical, are read out in a childish voice. Even Shouxin and Zhang smiled and were even intoxicated by Xiaoqi's voice. Even if they could not fully understand the principles in the article, they just loved to listen.
After Xiaoqi finished reciting, Lian Shouxin said several good words in a row.
"My Xiaoqi can recite such a long article..." Zhang's eyes were eager to rub Xiaoqi into his arms.
Xiao Qi was proud and a little embarrassed when Zhang and Lian Shouxin were like this.
"My brother and my second sister can carry it, and my brother can carry it more than me." Xiaoqi leaned into Zhang's arms, and his eyebrows were curved.
"This book is a good thing." Lian Shouxin drank a sip of water and said happily, "I have been doing a day in the day and I was quite tired. I heard that my son recited this passage of the book, why is it so short that I have no shortage at all?"
"Dad, then I will recite a book for you every night from now on." Xiao Qi came out of Zhang's arms, jumped onto Lian Shouxin's back, and said with a smile.
"That's good." Lian Shouxin said with a smile.
Lian Man'er, Goro and Lian Zhi'er watched Xiaoqi play with her treasure and made Zhang Shi and Lian Shouxin happy. She couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
"...Looking at this point, it is easy to plant a miserable girl and makes more money than planting crops. Everyone knows that the crops that will not be planted next year will not be planted. Are all the miserable girls?" Zhang said.
The topic has returned to the miserable girl.
"Mom, Miss Ku is not a grain of food, if you plant too much, no one will ask for it." Lian Man'er said that the market for Miss Ku is limited after all, and it doesn't mean that people will buy it as much as they plant.
"This is one thing, and there is another one. What we farmers plant is food, and no one is willing to plant this well." Lian Shouxin continued.
"That's right." Lian Man'er nodded. The farmers are generally more traditional and conservative. The bitter girl is not as good as sweet potatoes and corn, and the bitter girl cannot be eaten as food. Moreover, her root system is too developed, and farmers are reluctant to use good land to plant it. For example, isn't Lian Man'er's own family also a bitter girl who cultivates other land? Or choose the wasteland separated from the good land.
What Zhang said will not happen.
"I went to the town next afternoon. When I met Lao Huang, he said that the wild grapes in the mountains were almost ripe. I asked when we would go to collect them?" Lian Shouxin said suddenly.
"I should cook the jar of wine ordered from the Zhao family, right?" Goro said, "How about I take time to go and have a look tomorrow. If the pot is ready, let his family bring it to us?"
"This is your job." Lian Man'er thought about it and nodded. "When the wine jar arrives, we will go pick grapes and make wine."
"We have to take advantage of the autumn harvest to prepare the wine. If the time is not right, I am afraid that we will not be able to do it." Lian Man'er said again.
"Yes." Everyone nodded. This autumn, they have to do too much and have to arrange them one by one.
The next day, when Goro and Xiaoqi went to school, they took a detour to Zhaojia Village. Then, Zhao Liansheng and his son rushed over and brought the wine jars one by one.
He still used 20 kilograms of wine jars, each jar cost ten cents, and Lian Man'er's family ordered 150 at a time. Because he was an old customer and ordered a lot, Zhao Liansheng gave away another ten for free.
"...If it's not enough, send someone to send me a message. I'll give you all the other work and cook it for you immediately." After taking the 1,500 cents from Lian Man'er, Zhao Liansheng smiled and said with a smile. "I can cook wine jars, pickled vegetables jars, large jars, small jars, any size and shape. If it's useful, come to me and the price is easy to discuss."
The Lian family is now a well-known wealthy family, and they are fair in business and are willing to pay for money. Of course, Zhao Liansheng is willing to make friends with this big customer.
The wine jar was ready, and Lian Man'er's family drove into the mountains to pick grapes and prepare to make wine.
Because of Shen Liu's words, not only did no one move the wild grapes in the mountains this year, but they were also taken care of extra care, so their growth and yield were better than last year.
Lao Huang knew that Lian Man'er's family wanted to pick grapes, but she was afraid that her family would have less labor, so she specially picked the one who worked fine from the workers on the mountain and brought six or seven to help pick grapes.
In addition to his own calf cart, Lian Shouxin hired two other big carts to pull grapes home.
This year, the winemaking venue was chosen in the new home that was being built. Both east and west yards have been almost built, and a winemaking shed was specially built, with more than 100 wine jars full of them.
Trucks of grapes were sent over and unloaded next to the filter pool in the canal. The water in the filter pool was clear and clean. Here, Xiaoqi watched the person clean the grapes a little and sent them to the winery across the courtyard.
The winery used their own family members, including Zhang, Lian Man'er, Lian Zhier, Wulang, Zhao, Lian Yeer, and Xiaozhe, they were also called to help. They were responsible for putting the grapes that dried the skin moisture into the wine jar, dealing with it briefly, and waiting for fermentation.
After working for three days, 150 jars of wine were brewed, and two more jars were made with fifty kilograms of large jars. I used to pick the remaining wild grapes that were not of good quality. Lian Man'er planned to make them home. Depending on the fermentation situation, if they can make wine, they can make wine. If they can't make wine, they will make grape juice, which is good to drink normally.
The wine was ready, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, but Lian Man'er thought of another important thing.
"Dad, mom, I want to..." Lian Man'er gathered the family together and expressed her thoughts. Everyone discussed for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
On that day, Lian Man'er's house prepared a banquet and invited Lao Huang.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, even Shouxin asked Lao Huang.
"...The mountains are all from the Empress's house. Are the mountains around the foot of the mountain also from the Empress's house?"
"Of course," said Lao Huang, "But, if you want to be serious, I really don't know. Brother, what are you planning to do when you ask?"
Lao Huang is a straightforward person and is not even good at keeping trust, so he simply told his family's plans directly.
"...In the future, we plan to make wine, and there are only those wild grapes. We also plan to get more seedlings from other places and a variety of points. The land at the foot of the mountain is full of ditches and troughs, and the wild grapes grow well..."
Lian Man'er's family's plan was to buy a large area of barren mountain at the foot of the mountain. In addition to the original wild grapes, some wild grapes were planted manually to increase the yield.
This plan was thought of at the beginning of spring this year. It was just because the projects on the mountain and all the remaining money in his hand were spent on buying arable land at that time, so he never made it.
In the future, wine will be made every year. These wild grapes grow on other people's land. After all, there are various inconveniences. Even Man'er originally wanted to buy all the ravines with wild grapes, because it was probably impossible to build a temple for Queen Chen. But she still wanted to buy the nearby mountains because it was very conducive to the growth of wild grapes.
"If it's something else, I'll agree. I'll ask about this matter... I'll go and ask." Old Huang Zi took a sip of wine and said.
"Of course, my brothers are gone, so I won't say anything politely. We are counting on you, Brother Huang." Lian Shouxin poured a cup of wine for Lao Huang and said. "There is one more thing..."
Lian Man'er came into the house to add vegetables, and then stopped Lian Shouxin's words with a smile.
"Dad, drink wine and eat vegetables first. If you have any questions, let's talk about it after you finish eating."
"Yes." Lian Shouxin nodded and smiled.
After dinner, I put on tea, and then I picked up the head of what I said just now.
"...Didn't it mean that after the temple is built, will it be incense everywhere? At that time, the incense will definitely be very popular, and people are coming and going... I plan to build a toilet at the foot of the mountain, just like the one I built before, and it must be better than that one. I hire people to clean it every day to ensure it is clean and beautiful, providing everyone with convenience. In addition, it can be considered as giving the Queen Mother's temple."
After the temple of Empress Chen was built, it was planned to be open to the public. At that time, there were more people coming to incense, so this convenience became a problem. Even if there were toilets in the temple, how many could it be built, and cleaning would take time.
Lian Man'er's family paid for building a public toilet at the foot of the mountain, and paid for hiring people to manage and clean. It can provide convenience for pilgrims, reduce the burden on the temple, and also help the cleanliness of the temple.
This is a very thoughtful suggestion.
These are the results of Lian Man'er's family discussing yesterday. Of course, this is not just about doing good things. This year, the crops in the fields of Lian Man'er's family grow stronger than those of other people's families, because they put more fertilizer in the fields than other people's families.
In the future, even Man'er's family will definitely buy more land and need more manure. In general, this is a matter of winning one by one, which is very beneficial to both others and yourself.
Now that the temple has not been completed, Lian Man'er's family has proposed it first. This is to seize the initiative and take the lead.
Lao Huang promised to do his best to help, and he was indeed a man who kept his word. In a few days, he replied that the matter was done.
