Chapter 324: Winemaking
"Big sister, come back, what is this? It's so heavy." Seeing Huang Yiyun coming back in the main hall, she saw that she was carrying something in her hand and carrying a basket on her back. She hurried forward to take over the basket on her back on her back.
The backpack was not easy to buy, and the backpack was covered with a piece of white cloth. Huang Li asked without seeing the things inside.
"This is when the eldest girl was visiting the Zhang family, and the Zhang family gave me a basket of grapes when she was visiting the Zhang family in the town?"
"What's the big grape?" Liu Mei lifted the cloth on the back basket and saw that there were bunches of grapes in the back basket. Those grapes were all big with adult thumbs, she said in surprise.
In previous years, Liu Mei was also a person who had eaten grapes.
But the grapes she ate were picked from the mountains. Most of them were only the size of a little finger. Never have you ever seen such a large grape?
"Wow, how sweet?" The fifth sister picked a piece from a bunch of grapes and ate it. She couldn't say the smell was fragrant, but she just felt it was very sweet and delicious.
After seeing the fifth sister saying that the grapes were so sweet and delicious, several children gathered around.
Seeing this, Huang Yiyun picked out two bunches of grapes from her backpack and handed them to her fifth sister and said, "Take it to wash and eat it for everyone. I am useful to the rest of my sister, so I won't give it to you."
"Okay." The fifth sister took the two bunches of grapes, and she happily took them out to wash them.
"My grandma, where is my mother?" Huang Yiyun asked without seeing Huang Liu in the main hall.
Since the Huang family store bought the next store, the store has expanded.
In the Huang family’s shop, Huang Yiyun and Huang Liu did not help in the shop.
Only three stores are managed by Huang Congjiang brothers and Huang Caixia.
The two of the Le's mother and daughter were in charge of the kitchen, and the Huang family also hired several mates and dishwashers.
"Your mother and aunt are taking the second sister, and the third sister embroidering things in your room? Big sister, are you going to have something to do with your mother?"
"What's that? I have to teach my grandma to work with my mother now. This is done. Even if our family doesn't open a shop in the future, they will sell this thing specifically. We will have a lot of money to pay when we are lying at home? Sixth sister, go and call your uncle." Huang Yiyun said to Huang Li in a bit mysteriously.
Then, she ordered Liu Mei to call someone.
"Big sister, Liu sister said you call me, is there anything you have to do?" After a while, Huang Liu came to the main hall and asked Huang Yiyun.
"Let's go, today I will take my mother and grandma to make wine, let's go to the backyard." Huang Yiyun raised the basket of grapes and invited Huang Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to walk to the backyard.
"Big girl, we don't have a wine recipe, and we don't know how to make wine if it is the ingredients and steps. Big girl, can you find a wine recipe in the county?" Huang Li asked when he came to the kitchen in the backyard.
"I saw a wine recipe in a glass of miscellaneous books, which is to use this grape to make wine. And, the miscellaneous books say that the wine made from this grape is not only fragrant, but also mellow and delicious, but also beautiful and beautiful?" Huang Yiyun said to Huang Li and the others for a reason.
"Really?" Huang Liu asked with joy when he heard this.
"This is naturally. If this wine is really made and sold in our store, it can attract a wave of customers to eat in the future. In addition, we can also sell it or buy a store to sell this wine."
"Big sister, how to make this wine? Let's start soon? Hurry up and teach me and your grandma so that we can learn it too?" Huang Liu said impatiently.
Although Huang Li, who was standing by, did not speak or urge, Huang Li's face was slightly moved and his expression was a little excited.
The two of them naturally knew that not only were there very few shops selling liquor, but the liquor was also very expensive.
If the wine made by homemade is better than the wine sold in other wine shops, once it is made and sold, can it make a lot of money?
"Don't worry, let's peel off these grapes one by one, clean them up, and then wipe them clean." Huang Yiyun said while keeping his hands peeling off the grapes one by one.
Put it in a large wooden basin next to it.
A basket of grapes and Huang Yiyun separated out before it took a quarter of an hour.
After washing, Huang Yiyun and the other two used a dry cloth towel to wipe the water stained on the grapes.
Wipe the grapes into a dustpan, then put them in a cool place and hang them.
After the preparation was made, Huang Yiyun asked Huang Liu's family to bring a few clay pots, wash them, dry them for later use.
After drying the grapes, Huang Yiyun pinched them with his hands to separate the flesh and peel.
After pinching, put it in a jar, pour in the sugar, add a layer of grapes, and add a layer of sugar without stirring.
Huang Yiyun estimated that the ratio of twenty kilograms of grapes was about one to three or one to four.
"It's so simple and easy to make. Can this be done? It doesn't matter if these grapes are wasted at that time. Almost five kilograms of sugar are added to it. It would be a pity to waste it at that time?" Seeing that the winemaking is too simple, Huang Liu saw that the grapes were clean, wiped dry, crushed, and then put the sugar in, and then brewed them into the wine. Huang Liu's face clearly showed a disbelieving look on his face.
"Of course it's not just that simple. This is just a preliminary brewing. In the first few days, you need to loosen the lid and let the air flow. Then don't worry. From half a month to about a month, take out the grape skin floating on it, filter it with a cloth, and then you can drink it.
The book also said that if we want the wine to be more mellow, we can brew it for a longer time and unseal it for a longer time. Whether it is successful or not, we will wait for the first half of the month to see the result. Wasting some sugar is not worth much money. With our current family's assets, the money can also be lost." Huang Yiyun also knew that Huang Li and his two disbeliefs did not believe it, and she explained.
"It's time to listen to the eldest sister. I'll know the result in the first half of the month. What's more, if the eldest sister fails to do that, it will be successful this time." Huang Lishi saw that Huang Liu wanted to say something, so he took the lead.
Finally, Mrs. Huang Liu moved these three jars of wine into the cellar.
After Huang Yiyun finished teaching Huang Liu's two to make wine, she put the medicinal materials she bought from the medicine shop into a dustpan and put them in the sun.
Honeysuckle is a bit special, with a green color and cannot be exposed to the sun. Otherwise, it will change color and lose its medicinal properties. It needs to be placed in a cool place to dry.
It is summer now, and these two medicinal materials, whether they are dried or dried, can be dried in just two or three days, and then grind them into meatballs.
