Chapter 29

In the Gu family kitchen.

Clear wine drips from the simple bamboo still into the wooden tub.

The four brothers who were digging wood to make water trucks in the yard unconsciously sniffed when they smelled the aroma of wine floating out of the kitchen.

"It smells so good!"

Gu Daniu sniffed hard towards the kitchen and swallowed hard, "Ayuan, Wanya really teaches her mother how to use your method to make good wine?"

"It should be!" Gu Yuan responded.

In fact, it has nothing to do with him that this wine can turn into a good wine. He has no choice but to see the distiller made by Su Wan from bamboo.

Gu Yuan was thinking, Jiang was carrying a small wooden barrel and Su Wan walked out of the kitchen with a few thick bowls.

Su Wan and Jiang scooped a bowl of wine for each of the four brothers, "Brother, second brother, please try it, how is this wine now?"

Gu Daniu and Gu Erniu took the bowl from Su Wan's hand and looked at the clear and bright wine in the bowl with no impurities at all, and knew it must be a good wine.

Gu Yuan took a sip and tasted it carefully. He couldn't help but praise: "Good wine! Although the taste is not mellow enough, it is sweet and clear, and has a faint bamboo fragrance."

Su Wan's pair of round and shiny little deer eyes looked at him with anticipation, "Do you think we can sell this wine to Xinghualou in the town for money?"

Before Gu Yuan could answer Su Wan, Old Man Gu brought Yang Li in from outside the yard.

As soon as he came in, Yang Lizheng couldn't help but suck his nose hard, "It smells so good, A Yuan, is your family cooking wine?"

What Gu Yuan’s family lacks the most now is wine, which is well-known in the village.

But eating this wine is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also firewood. Even when the year is good, everyone will at most cook some homemade rice wine during the Chinese New Year.

This farmer who cooks wine on weekdays is really... I have lived for so much of my life and haven't seen him yet!

Gu Sanniu was a clever person. When he heard Li Zheng's words, he immediately scooped a bowl of wine and served it to Li Zheng, "Uncle Wenhua, try it, how about this wine in our house?"

Li Zheng was not polite either. After thanking him, he took the bowl. Looking at the clear and bright wine in the bowl, he was already surprised.

Now, good filtration and distillation techniques are still in the hands of a few big wineries, and the wine brewed at home and small wineries are generally turbid.

Even the wine brewed from the big winery must be settled before it can be clear, and there are more or less impurities.

The winery where Gu Sanniu worked before was roasted, which was only a little better than the ones they brewed by themselves, and it was definitely not so clear.

After he took a sip, the aroma of the wine instantly stimulated his taste buds, which was not sour or astringent at all. "Good wine and good wine, this wine is better than the wine from Xinghualou!"

Although Li Zheng is literate, his educational level is not high, so he naturally cannot tell what the wine is like Gu Yuan.

But his second brother was the second shopkeeper in Xinghualou in the town and brought him the wine from Xinghualou. He knew what good wine tasted and also knew which one was better than Xinghualou.

When Gu Sanniu heard this, he immediately followed the conversation and said, "Uncle Wenhua, if my family wants to sell this wine to Xinghualou, can you please recommend Wenyongshu?"

Li Zheng looked at Gu Sanniu with some surprise and asked, "Sanniu, is this wine brewed by your family?"

Gu Sanniu scratched the back of his head honestly and said honestly: "This wine is the wine that the wine shop used to pay for me by paying for my wages. He distilled it again using the method A Yuan saw in the book, and it became the wine that he is now."

"Success, you will bring the wine tomorrow, and I will go to the town with you." Yang Lizheng felt sorry for the Gu family because of his granddaughter's marriage to Gu Yuan, so he naturally would not shirk responsibility for such a thing.

At this time, he looked at the wood that was being dashed in Gu Yuan's hand.

There was an indescribable sigh and regret in his eyes. The fourth child of the Gu family is really a talented person. He has been smart since he was a child. Others have to spend a long time learning carpenter skills. He just looked at it for a while when the carpenter was making furniture for his own home.

There is no choice for studying. He became a scholar at the age of twelve, and he won the junior three-yuan student in one fell swoop.

But my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, alas!

Forget it, it’s because my granddaughter is not lucky!
