Chapter 57
A few days ago, camellia oil was sold at a low price. In previous years, it could be sold for at least 7 or 8 jin of coins. Now it has been so much shorter, and Song's mother was so angry that she felt so sad. These days, the Song family was so sad that they were bleak. Until they heard that the town recruited workers. The big fortune who returned to their hometown from Hangzhou mainly built large houses and ancestral halls. It was stipulated that it must be built within two months. Such a large project must be recruited more people. At the beginning, it only recruited men, and later women also needed women, but the wages were half less than men, but it was also more than finding other jobs to make money. The whole Song family went out to make money, and the depressed atmosphere a few days ago dissipated.
Therefore, when Su Wan mentioned tea oil, Song Xiaomei gritted her teeth and decided to fuck her. She thought in her mind that if she could really make money, her parents would not have to work so hard to help others. With her father's skills, she could make some money at home.
Su Wan said: "Little sister, go and cook a large pot of water. After the water boils, the pottery jar, lid, and find a stick and a pair of chopsticks to throw it into the pot for half a moment. If you want to use it later, I will ask Dawa and Erwa to move a ladder to pick grapes."
Song Xiaomei didn't ask much, nodded and said, "Okay!" She turned around and moved into the house and moved out a large pottery jar.
Su Wan commanded Dawa Erwa to pick grapes up the ladder. The grapes picked were soaked in the water and put them in a clean basket aside to dry. Two large baskets were piled up. Song Xiaomei moved out the cooked pottery jar. Su Wan called a few big ones to go to the kitchen with her to wash their hands with hot water, wiped the water droplets on her hands, and then crushed the dried grapes and put them into the pottery jar. There were more people working quickly, and it was done in a quarter of an hour. Su Wan asked Song Xiaomei to take a pound of sugar and pour it in and seal the number with a lid. Big Wa Erwa worked together to hug the pottery jar tightly in Su Wan's house. Su Wan gave one person a penny as a sealing fee. Big Wa Erwa carried the chessboard to play Gozi chess under the shade of the tree. Big Girl Erniu went back to the house to continue to do needlework. Grandma Song also knew about this, but just looked at the two sisters and shook her head and smiled, "Follow your third aunts and do everything."
Erniu said with a smile: "Since Aunt San came here, it's funnier than before, and she often gets snacks!"
Grandma Song laughed and scolded, "Just enjoy it now. When you go out, see who will take you to play all day long."
Song Xiaomei did not leave immediately in Su Wan's room, "By the way, I haven't asked my third sister-in-law why she made grapes like this? How long can she last to use it?"
"This is like making wine, and it will be almost done in half a month."
"Making wine?" Song Xiaomei widened her eyes, "I haven't heard that grapes can make wine, and I have not put a wine chorus, how can this be made?"
"It will be like this after half a month of success. If it can be made, it is suitable for both men, women, and young people. If parents don't like to drink rice wine, this wine is sweet and delicious, and has a strong potential. Women have a small mouthful of beauty before going to bed every night, which is much more useful than the rouge powder. Why worry no one can buy it?"
Song Xiaomei nodded repeatedly when she heard this, and suddenly realized: "No wonder you always stared at the wine shop run by Aunt Liu's son last time when you went to the town. It turned out that you had already planned."
Su Wan was indeed reminded by the wine shop that she remembered that she could brew some different wine, but she knew: "At that time, she just had ideas, but she didn't think about making money."
"But I have never heard of wine. How did you make it in Sansao?"
"When I was at my mother's house, I read a book written in which the wine was invented by overseas people. When we come here, I'm afraid it's only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford it. I have wanted to make it for a long time. I thought that since it was wine, I would follow the method of making wine. The wine needs to be steamed glutinous rice, but how can the grapes be steamed in the pot? I could only crush it and put it in the past. The wine koji is used for making rice wine. It may not be available overseas, so I won't try it."
Song Xiaomei nodded, "It sounds like this, but my sister-in-law is smart and can even figure it out by herself."
"Do you remember the last time I called you to fry hibiscus flowers? I haven't eaten it before. I just thought about it after reading a poem. I thought, maybe I was born smart." Su Wan said shamelessly.
Song Xiaomei laughed, "I think my third sister-in-law is probably born to love eating more than others, so she can always figure out something different." Although it hurts people, the worry in her heart is much less. She thought so. She heard that her third sister-in-law only saw hibiscus flowers last time, and when she heard the third brother say it, she wanted to pick it and eat it on a whim. It was really crispy and delicious when she fryed it according to her method. Even she couldn't forget it. Now, the wine was made by the third sister-in-law for a long time. I thought it would be impossible to make a mistake.
Su Wan only smiled but said that she was 60 to 70% sure, but it was just an excuse. She knew she would succeed. Although she had never made wine by herself, she had a best friend who was a DIY maniac, wine, apple cider vinegar, mulberry, wine enzyme, etc., which was not easy to get? When she first came out to play a supporting role, she was so poor that she lived in her best friend's house for a whole year. She almost saw her busy work from spring to winter. She couldn't buy anything she could do, but she actually made more than just eating. She also made her own mask, facial cleanser, soap, etc. She had seen a lot of people and occasionally had to help her, so she would naturally do it. If it weren't for the mixed eyes, she would also want to make some skin care products and cosmetics by herself.
