Chapter 31 The miserable old seventh

After Lao Qi sold the fish, he also sold the Muscovy ducks that could come out of their nests, and he became much more relaxed for a while. However, at the end of the year, his father-in-law was busy again, so Lao Qi was sadly abandoned.

Lin Shaoru and his grandfather captured young men and came over to help him make wine. The work of making wine was extremely tiring, and he couldn't be as comfortable as raising fish, so he was feeling unhappy these days. But he didn't dare to complain to his wife. Unexpectedly, Le Lang

Got hit.

Lelang has also done winemaking. He saw that Old Lin and the others were quite comfortable making it, so he volunteered to help him for a long time. But who knew that Old Lin’s winemaking had always followed ancient methods and everything had to be done manually.

, shoveling even the dregs of wine can tire someone to death, so that time Lelang stopped working for a long time and stopped eating. From now on, he will never thank you again.

The wine made by Old Man Lin not only follows ancient methods but also has strict requirements. Although some people have been asked to help with some processes now, some still have to be made by himself, so Lao Qi is often recruited by him to be a strong man. Originally, his father-in-law also has a son,

But I'm not at home, so I'm just suffering from Lao Qi. These days, Lao Qi typically wakes up earlier than chickens, works harder than cows, and of course eats better than pigs. The food at Old Man Lin's house has always been good, with plenty of fish and meat every day.

Wait, otherwise you wouldn't have the strength to do the work.

Lelang ignored Lao Qi and walked directly in. In the hall, Old Man Lin was sitting leisurely on an antique federal chair and making tea leisurely. Opposite him sat his son Lin Qingyuan, Lao Qi's father-in-law.

Le Lang had also stayed at the Lin family before and worked hard for free for half a day, so everyone was quite familiar with him.

As soon as he entered the door, Le Lang called "Grandpa" and "Uncle" enthusiastically. The seventh man was here, so he couldn't call him Old Man Lin anymore. Even if he didn't say it, his wife would not be easy to deal with. Lin Qingyuan saw Le Lang

He warmly greeted him and made tea.

Old man Lin, who was making tea nearby, had seen Le Lang a long time ago, but ignored him. This kid had been out for six years without any news. I thought he would never come back, but unexpectedly he suddenly jumped back. Now he

She felt very uncomfortable as soon as she saw him. When Le Lang called him Grandpa, she said to him angrily: "No, you should call me Old Man Lin. Grandpa will be offended."

"Haha, grandpa, that's just because the child was ignorant when he was young. How can you care about it? Look, I've brought you a banana." As he said that, Lelang put the big banana in his hand on the table and put it all on the table.

Most of the table was occupied.

Lao Qiyi, who was sitting on the doorstep and eating, was entertained by the news. Someone was giving gifts and bananas, and he couldn't help but secretly despise it in his heart.

"Huh, you're still a kid in your twenties. Come on, tell me if you have something to say and fart if you have something to say. Don't talk about those insignificant things. I don't know about your kid. You came here before and said you wanted to help me.

He was working, but he walked away in less than half a day. Later, he came to my place to lend me wine, and said that your old man wanted it. You guys are all sneaky people." Old man Lin said while sitting on the federal floor.

I'm frothing at the mouth, it's self-evident who you are among them. I heard that Lao Qi, who was sitting eating, kept picking up his rice in depression, while Lin Shaoru was smiling heartlessly over there.

This old man, his memory is still so good even when he is old. Le Lang thought secretly in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out loud. After hearing what Old Man Lin said, he quickly said: "Grandpa, I'm here to buy some wine. I'll buy some on the way."

Go back with the wine jar." Otherwise, we would have to wait until dark for him to continue nagging like this endlessly.

"What are you doing again? I'm telling you, if you want to drink it before buying it, otherwise don't waste my wine." Old man Lin stared at him and said to him.

Speaking of this matter, Lelang had a long criminal record. In the past, he saw people soaking snakes in wine and drank them. He was curious and imitated others to soak snakes, and it was not just snakes, but also some geckos, toads, centipedes, and lizards.

Anyway, he caught and brewed those he felt interested in. The largest centipedes he brewed were as long as chopsticks and as thick as his index finger, but he never dared to drink them. Who knows what would happen if he drank this thing.

"No way, grandpa, I took it back to make banana wine." Le Lang explained helplessly.

"Banana wine?" Old Man Lin asked, he had never heard of this thing here.

"Well, I learned it from someone else, and I didn't know if it would work, so I bought some and went back to try it out." After Le Lang's explanation, Old Man Lin finally agreed to sell him wine. Anyone who told him to take his wine before would do anything wrong.

It was just a fooling around, otherwise he wouldn't have disagreed.

"By the way, how do you take it back?" Lao Qi asked after finishing his meal, sitting on the federal chair.

"Use a motorcycle..." Le Lang pointed to the motorcycle outside and said, but before he could say anything, he suddenly remembered that his motorcycle couldn't carry so much stuff.

"Let's go, I'll take you there in my car." As he said that, he took Le Lang to the back. Behind was the Lin family's brewing workshop. Lao Qi put his pickup truck at the door at the back. The two of them worked together to mix the wine and wine.

The wine jar was loaded into the car.

After finishing it, Le Lang wanted to give Old Man Lin some money, but he waved his hand and refused, "There's nothing valuable. Just make two jars of wine for me when the time comes."

After hearing this, Le Lang stopped insisting. The old man had such a temperament that he would be unhappy if he was too pretentious. Lao Qi drove the car and took his wife with him. His wife also wanted to see how to make banana wine.

No one has ever heard that bananas can make wine.

After returning home, after waiting for a while, Lao Qi's truck drove over. He and Lao Qi took down the things together and got busy preparing to make banana wine.

When Lao Qi and his wife Lin Shaoru saw the little porcupine, they immediately squatted down beside the carton and played with the little porcupine happily. She also pulled Lao Qi to watch it together, which made Lao Qi very depressed. What's so good about this thing?

Regarding how to brew banana wine, Lelang checked online and came up with four methods. The first one is to pulp the banana flesh, then add water directly without adding rock sugar, and bury it in the soil for ten to eight days before drinking it.

Yes, I heard that this method came from Africa, and I don’t know if it will be acclimated to China.

The second method is to cut the banana flesh into pieces, add rock sugar, put the wine in, seal it, and don’t need to bury it in the soil. You can drink it in about half a year.

The third method is to pulp the bananas, add wine, and rock sugar, which takes about half a year.

The fourth method is actually the same as the first one but adds a little rock sugar.

Le Lang wanted to try brewing each one to see which one tasted better. Lao Qi's parents-in-law happened to be here and came over to help.

Le Lang brought out large bananas from the house and asked Lin Shaoru and San Lang to peel them off while Lao Qi removed the heads and tails of the banana flesh. There was a bitter taste in the bananas, so it was better to cut them off. Le Lang himself

He is responsible for beating the bananas into pulp and putting them on the altar. He is more optimistic about the methods of African indigenous people, so he wants to make more of the first type.

He took the wine jars. These wine jars were all authentic products from Yixing. Old man Lin finally found an acquaintance to order them specially. They might become antiques in a hundred years. Each of these wine jars can hold about fifty kilograms. Originally,

There was a bigger one at Old Man Lin's place, but Le Lang didn't want it because he thought it was too heavy. The wine jar had already been washed and dried. Le Lang first poured the pulped bananas into the wine jar, and when it reached a certain proportion, he added

The water falls down.

Now Lelang's family basically uses the spring water in Yu Ruyi's space for meals and drinks. There is always a large tank full of water in the kitchen. No one will doubt him when he pulls the water out of the kitchen. Several people divide the work.

It was quite easy to work together. Lelang was responsible for beating the wine and filling the jars. In a short time, all ten wine jars were filled, but the three bunches of bananas were not used up yet.

Le Lang calculated that there were five jars of wine made using the first method, two jars each of the second and third methods, and only one jar of the last method. After everything was done, Le Lang took out the wine from the forest.

The old man used wax paper to seal the mouth of the altar, tied it with a rope, and then covered it with a porcelain bowl that just happened to hold the mouth of the altar. Finally, he took red clay and sealed it on top. Now the wine jar can be ventilated.

No.

The red soil was dug one foot below the ground. It has excellent viscosity. It would be better to add some cement, but not too much, otherwise it will not be opened. Le Lang and Lao Qi carried the wine jar into the house.

It was less likely that they would come across each other, and Le Lang also wanted to wait until night to quietly put the wine into the space.

After doing this, Le Lang finally realized his conscience and went inside to fry a plate of bananas for Lao Qi and others to eat. Le Lang got into the kitchen to cook. He always rewarded people for doing things, otherwise no one would do things for him.

Naruto went to the back and caught a little hen. He had been coveting this chicken for a long time, but he never had the chance. Today was just the day. After killing the chicken, he went to pick a few handfuls of lettuce and peppers, which Naruto had given him yesterday.

When he brought a crucian carp over, he killed it and made a steamed crucian carp dish. The steamed crucian carp was delicious and simple. Cut the fish into two sides, with the back facing up, put ginger slices underneath, steam it, and put green onions on top.

Shredded, just pour steamed fish drum juice or Maggi soy sauce on top. If you are not afraid of oil, you can also pour hot oil on top. It will also look better. Steamed crucian carp tastes good.

Eating fish is quite taboo for some people, and they will fall out if they do something wrong. As we all know, boaters are most afraid of capsizing, so they can't capsize when eating fish. If you want to capsize, they will fall out with you, usually in order to prevent it

When guests turn over the fish, they will cut the fish in half, and only serve half of the fish, so don't be surprised when you see it.

After the fish was done, he stir-fried a piece of lettuce, stir-fried three layers of meat with chili peppers, and fried eggs with shredded bitter bamboo shoots. He had not finished eating the bitter bamboo shoots until now. After finishing these, all that was left was

He wanted to use that little hen to make soup.

The bamboo fungus brought out from the bamboo forest had already been dried and put away by Le Lang. Today he planned to take out some bamboo fungus and stew the chicken. He cut the washed hen into small pieces, added oil and cooking wine,

Then stir-fry the ginger and chicken together. After frying the chicken oil, add water to cook the pullet until it is mashed. Then add the washed bamboo fungus. There is dirt on the bamboo fungus. It needs to be soaked and cleaned. Add the bamboo fungus again.

After cooking for a while, season, add some scallions on top, and finally remove from the pan.

Bamboo fungus has a unique taste, coupled with the deliciousness of chicken soup, the two are a perfect match. After cooking, Lelang secretly ate a few pieces of chicken, tasted the taste, and accidentally burned him to the point of screaming.

.

Lao Qi was quite satisfied with this meal. If he didn't have to drive, he would have had a few drinks with Le Lang. After eating and taking a rest, Lao Qi left. He would have to help his father-in-law with work tomorrow.

?

Le Lang looked at the slightly sad figure of Lao Qi leaving and thought, well, it is not easy to get a wife. Strangely, isn't there a saying in southern Fujian: "It's easier to marry a wife if you don't have rice or money to celebrate the New Year"?
