Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 81 Mulberry Wine

It is now May, and the mulberries should be ripe in a few days.

When Han Duyue went up the mountain before, she noticed that this small soil bag in Qingyuan Village had nothing else but a lot of mulberry trees and pagoda trees, and what made her feel amazing was that the mulberries and pagoda trees here The maturity period has come together.

"Shopkeeper Li, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever drank mulberry wine before?" Jiang Duyue thought about it carefully, and felt that making fruit wine should be quite realistic.

And there are many types of fruit wine. Now that the mulberries are ripe, you can make mulberry wine. In the future, you can also make cider and wine, and then there will be hawthorn wine, plum wine and so on.

Although Han Duyue only knows how to make wine, but this kind of thing should be invariable, right?

Well, no matter what, Han Duyue plans to give it a try, but the premise is that this thing can really make money.

Li Kaishi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in confusion: "Is mulberry wine also alcohol?"

"Yes, mulberry wine is fruit wine made from mulberries. It tastes sweet and sour. It is very suitable for fine tasting, and it is also very suitable for children and women to drink," Han Duyue explained with a smile, then turned to look at Song Ning , "What about you? Have you ever had this wine, or any other kind of wine made from fruit?"

Song Ning also shook her head blankly: "I've never heard of this kind of wine."

"That's good, but I only know roughly how to do it, and I need to study it in detail to know the result." Han Duyue nodded with satisfaction. She felt that since there is such a thing as wine in this world, the people here It should be able to accept all kinds of fruit wine.

Li Kaishi already had an instinctive expectation for Han Duyue's proposal: "If it is really done by then, don't forget Miss Han."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Li. If it's really possible to make it, I'll have to ask shopkeeper Li to help me sell it. Why don't you let shopkeeper Li try it first?" Han Duyue nodded with a smile.

Song Ning answered from the side: "There is also me."

"Enen, you must be indispensable!" Han Duyue and Song Ning looked at each other, and there were strong smiles in their eyes.

Not to be outdone, Xiaonian tugged on Han Duyue's sleeve: "Sister, and me, I want to be the first to try my handicraft!"

"This is impossible." Seeing Xiaonian's eagerness, Han Duyue couldn't help teasing him.

Hearing that Xiaonian's face was hurt, he pursed his lips and said, "Why? Am I not as good as Brother Song?"

These words made Han Duyue's mouth twitch twice: "Of course not, it's because you are too young to drink."

"But sister, didn't you just say that mulberry wine is sweet and sour, which is very suitable for children and women?" Xiaonian tilted his head in confusion.

Han Duyue choked for a moment, but quickly realized: "The children I'm talking about are children over eight years old. You are only five years old now, and you are still too young."

"So it's like this." Xiaonian lowered his face in injury.

Song Ning patted Xiaonian on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don't worry, if I get something good by then, I will give you some."

"Really? I knew Brother Song was the best!" Xiaonian's eyes immediately glowed with life.

Seeing Song Ning's eyes with a deep smile, Han Duyue rolled his eyes directly.

Han Duyue looked forward to the stars and the moon for more than ten days, and finally waited for the first batch of ripe mulberries. Looking at the freshly picked mulberries in the basket in front of him, and Xiaonian's little mouth that was eating deep purple, Han Duyue felt that her life was almost complete.

"Sister, do you need me to do anything else?" Xiaonian pursed his lips in embarrassment. He couldn't hold back just now, so he ate a few more mulberries.

Han Duyue poked Xiaonian's forehead: "If you eat too much mulberries, you will get angry. Later, you can pick some white mulberries, that will get rid of the fire."

"Well, I know." Xiao Nian suddenly smiled, and he could continue eating mulberries again.

Because the brewing of mulberry wine was planned before, Han Duyue had already prepared the necessary things. The three well-sealed earthenware pots had already been cleaned, and the white sugar had also been bought. What needs to be done now It is to crush the mulberry, and then add sugar to seal it.

If it is in modern times, it is best to use a blender to do this, but in this era, you have to really do it yourself in order to have enough food and clothing.

So Han Duyue borrowed the garlic mortar from Liu Fang's family, put the mulberry in it, and started messing with it.

When Song Ning saw it, she took the garlic mortar and smashed the mulberries in a short time.

"What do we need to do next?" Song Ning asked after putting down the things, rubbing her wrists.

Han Duyue shook his head, put mulberries and sugar into three earthenware pots in approximate proportions in front of Song Ning, and sealed them up: "Then let's just wait. Originally, making mulberry wine probably takes about Two to 30 days, but we are just experimenting now, and the maturity period of mulberries is so long, we can't get the results until the mulberries are gone. Even if it succeeds by then, it will be useless, so I plan to After ten days, we will see the result, if it is almost successful, we will do it in large batches.”

"Okay." Song Ning nodded with a smile, as if no matter what Han Duyue said, he would agree.

The ten days were neither too long nor too short, during which Li Kaishi and Mr. Hu came twice. Liu Fang's hen laid dozens of eggs, and Han Duyue's house was more than half built.

On this day, Han Duyue invited both Song Ning and Li Kaishi, and everyone sat around the table with three clay pots on it.

"If you succeed, drink and eat meat, if you fail, then..." Han Duyue rubbed her hands, feeling a little nervous.

Song Ning took over Han Duyue's words: "If you fail, try again."

Han Duyue and Song Ning looked at each other, smiled at each other, nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, we still have many opportunities."

When Han Duyue opened the first clay pot, a sour smell wafted out, she subconsciously covered her nose, frowned and shook her head: "This is probably a leak, I'll take it out first, it's too difficult Smell."

"Let me get it, sister, you continue to open those two." Xiaonian obediently reached out to pick up the clay pot and walked out.

Han Duyue nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he cautiously reached out and opened the second clay pot. As soon as the lid was opened, a sweet and sour smell with a faint smell of alcohol wafted out immediately.

Han Duyue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help saying loudly: "Success, this should be a success. Although the taste of the wine is a little too weak, at least it hasn't deteriorated!"

When Li Kaishi heard this, he straightened his neck, leaned towards the mouth of the pot and took a deep breath: "This taste is really like what Miss Han said before, the taste of wine is very light, but the taste of sweet and sour is very strong. It's fragrant."

"It's really successful, it's really great," Han Duyue said, opening the third clay pot, and after checking the situation inside, Han Duyue's eyes lit up, "The three pots were successful!" After drinking two cans, the success rate is too high, right?"

And this is her first time making mulberry wine.

"Can I have a taste?" Li Kaishi couldn't wait to taste the mulberry wine.

Han Duyue nodded first, then shook his head: "Not yet, I need to filter the mulberry wine before drinking it."

"Filtration?" Song Ning looked at Han Duyue in confusion.

Han Duyue stuck out her tongue, found a piece of clean fine gauze from the kitchen, and then demonstrated the steps of filtration in front of everyone: "The so-called filtration is actually to remove the impurities in the mulberry wine, so that we can get Crystal clear wine."

Looking at the deep purple liquid in the bowl, Li Kaishi clicked his tongue again and again, it was the first time he had seen this kind of wine.

Song Ning picked up the bowl, took a sip, savored it carefully for a while, and then said with bright eyes: "The taste of this mulberry wine is really strange, I think it's very good."

"Yes, how did Miss Han come up with this thing? It's really wonderful!" Li Kaishi was also very excited, but he also realized another point, "But Miss Han, although this thing smells like alcohol, But it's too light, I'm afraid those who like to drink may not like this mulberry wine."

Han Duyue also knows this, but this fruit wine is different from other wines, so there is no need to follow the previous route: "The taste of this wine is indeed very weak now, but it is also because the time is too short. If there is enough time, the taste of the wine should be two or three times as good as it is now.

And I don't intend to sell fruit wine as a general wine. I think everything needs to be packaged. It itself is one aspect, and how to package it is another important aspect. "

When talking about supermarkets, Han Duyue has already used a lot of modern words, and explained them to Song Ning and the others, so when she heard the word "packaging", Song Ning could already understand her meaning: "Then how does Xiaoyue plan to pack the fruit wine?"

"Mulberry wine can nourish, nourish the body, and nourish the blood, which are good for the body, and also have a slight beauty-beautifying function; wine can fight cancer, prevent cardiovascular disease, and help sleep; hawthorn wine has the ability to clear phlegm The effect of benefiting qi, digestion and stagnation, lowering blood pressure and activating blood circulation, invigorating stomach and spleen..." Han Duyue talked about the situation about fruit wine he had learned before with his fingers, and then concluded, "I think we can put These are the main publicity points, and then the diversity of texture and taste is used as auxiliary publicity, what do you think?"

"Very good! What Miss Han said is so good!" Li Kaishi's eyes lit up with excitement, and he stood up straight away.

Song Ning's eyes were also shining, and he leaned close to Han Duyue's ear and whispered, "I finally know why I was attracted to you when I first saw you."

"Why?" Han Duyue didn't react for a moment.

Song Ning smiled more and said: "Because Xiaoyue is also very talented in business, and has more ideas than me, do you think we are like-minded?"
