After dressing up as a superb old lady, I became the backbone of the whole village Chapter 52: Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking
Chapter 52: Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking
While sitting down to drink water, Chen Yu remembered one thing, that is, the original owner's scholar husband knew how to make wine when he was alive.
However, people with high status are very aloof, so how can they be willing to make a deal? Instead, they make some wine every year when the food comes down. In addition to the eldest son, Yun Niang also helps.
After careful recall, Chen Yu called Su Yunniang.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Su Yunniang wiped her hands with her apron and asked with a smile.
Chen Yu sat down and said, "I heard there is a wine seller, can you make it yourself?"
Su Yunniang sat down slowly and asked in surprise: "Mom, are you going to make wine with your sorghum?"
Seeing Chen Yu nodding, Su Yuniang became interested. She pulled Chen Yu's sleeve and sat on the stool: "Mom, I know how to make wine. When I was a child, my father brewed Bamboo Leaf Green in the bamboo forest."
"It's been so many years that I can't remember clearly." Chen Yu rubbed his forehead to cover up his embarrassment. When Su Yunniang mentioned her father, her eyes gleamed. Chen Yu was not the original owner and could not empathize with this family affection.
Su Yunniang did not doubt that he was there, and continued: "It is not possible to be a wine mother in this season, it will only work in midsummer."
Chen Yu did not embarrass Su Yunniang: "Then buy some and try it. If you can brew it, it will be considered a specialty of your restaurant."
"Sure." Su Yunniang left happily.
Chen Yu immediately went to the replacement space and found Tiangong Kaiwu's research on brewing. She was not omnipotent. What was omnipotent was that she had an omnipotent replacement space.
After reading through Tiangong Kaiwu, there is no record about wine making, but the method of making wine is described in detail. It is true that as Su Yunniang said, making wine must be done in the dog days of summer, and it is now autumn.
I checked the bookshelf to find the method of brewing wine, and found a simple book on Qi Min Yao Shu. After opening it, Chen Yu fell into deep thought. He probably knew the process of brewing wine, but what he wanted to brew was sorghum wine. In addition to the distiller's yeast,
It still takes time. This is not the point. The point is that Chen Yu wants a set of distillation equipment. Only with distillation equipment can the wine be purified. Purification is the key to brewing good wine, and this is the magic weapon for winning, the purification process.
Ahead of this era, it is not easy for others to replace you.
Chen Yu, who carefully recalled the distillation equipment, walked to the edge of the super farmland. Corn is grown here. When the corn is heading, when the corn is harvested, it will be planted in ordinary farmland. In the spring, it will be planted on its own.
Find a way to move out, although it will take longer, but it is safer.
"Mother." Zheng Yue'e led Zhao into the door. Seeing Chen Yu falling asleep again, she came over and called her softly.
Chen Yu heard Zheng Yuee's voice and opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Third Aunt is here." Zheng Yuee said.
Chen Yu sat up and saw Mrs. Zhao carrying a basket, and smiled sheepishly: "His aunt, sit down quickly. I have been ill for a long time and I always fall asleep at any time."
"I came at the wrong time." Ms. Zhao quickly stood up from her stool and handed the basket to Zheng Yue'e: "I picked this from the garden at home, let's try and taste it."
Zheng Yue'e took it generously: "Auntie, you're welcome. I've long been hungry for the radishes in your garden."
"Yes, yes, she looks pretty good." The smile on Zhao's face grew three points.
Zheng Yue'e held the basket: "Okay, aunt and my mother are chatting, and I have some things to do in the kitchen."
After Zheng Yue'e went out, Mrs. Zhao looked at Chen Yu and said: "Second sister-in-law, I have something to ask for. It doesn't matter. Those daughters-in-law are always nagging, so I won't make this trip."
Don’t even think about cleaning your ears.”
"What's the matter?" Chen Yu asked.
Mrs. Zhao said: "It's about to be harvested in autumn. After finishing the crops in the fields, everyone is idle again. Everyone knows that my second sister-in-law is good at medicine, and she also sees that our children can pick medicine. Can we let her do it?"
Everyone is going to collect herbs, and when the time comes, the second sister-in-law will bring some money to supplement the family income?"
Chen Yu smiled, she really kept a close eye on her. She couldn't hide any troubles in her family from the people in Zhuangzi.
However, this did make Chen Yu think of a way to make money. He pondered for a moment and then said: "His third aunt, this is not difficult to say, but the herbal medicine is extraordinary. If you are not careful, you can kill someone."
Mrs. Zhao twitched her lips in embarrassment: "How about this, Second Sister-in-law, I'll tell them when I get back, if you want to go into the mountains to collect herbs, come here and learn first? It's not in vain. The conditions are that Second Sister-in-law can do whatever you want.
As long as we don’t suffer a loss, that’s fine.”
Just when Chen Yu was about to speak, Zheng Yue'e came in with tea, put it in Zhao's hand, and turned around without leaving it.
"In this case, you can learn how to recognize herbal medicine. His third aunt, don't blame me for being unkind. This is the skill of making a living and cannot be taught in vain." Chen Yu looked at Zhao, who nodded repeatedly.
Chen Yu thought about it for a while and then said: "Teach someone five taels of silver, and I will collect the herbs you have learned."
"Fifty taels, isn't it a bit expensive?" Ms. Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and she asked for five taels when she opened her mouth, but the other person would not point at her nose and curse.
But, scolding Chen Yu? She didn't dare. Chen Yu had the support of the county magistrate.
Chen Yu shook his head: "It's not expensive at all. Just like you, his third aunt, give me five taels of silver and I will teach you. You can let your family learn from it when you go back. This is not five taels of silver."
That’s it. Besides, I charge the herbs at market prices. The only requirement is that whatever I need, the herb collectors will pick them. We can go to Laojun Mountain and Mingzhu Mountain to collect herbs, so we can make some money every day.
What about money work?"
Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows: "Even if the whole family knows it, it only costs five taels of silver?"
"Yes, but only people from my own family can do it. When the time comes, I have to sign a contract. As long as they are taught by me, I will accept the herbal medicine. If they dare to teach others, then this business will not be able to continue. After all, except for the herbal medicine doctor and
No one wants the drug store." Zhao also understood what Chen Yu said.
That night, Mrs. Zhao went home and discussed it with Su Deyan.
To say that he was from Zhuangzi was just a pretext. The person who really wanted to find out Chen Yu's background was Su Deyan.
As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
Su Deyan has been paying too much attention to the activities of Chen Yu's family these days. Today, the mule cart brought back so much food and cloth that Su Deyan couldn't sit still.
If there is a profitable business, who wouldn’t want a share of the pie?
After much deliberation, the only thing that could be tested was the herbal medicine. Sure enough, Chen Yu got off the donkey along the slope, and the deal was finally negotiated. If it could be done, it would be a great thing that would benefit the whole village.
With the letter in hand, Su Deyan went out with his hands behind his back, found some people he usually got close to, and started lobbying.
Others in Chen Yu's family frowned when they mentioned it, but Su Deyan's prestige in Sujiazhuang was very high, so these people were hesitant and wanted to try it, but when they heard that it cost five taels of silver, they all shook their heads.
When Su Deyan returned home, he was at a loss what to do. It was said that someone was going to collect medicine, but no one went there. What could he do?
"Dad, I'm going to learn a lesson. Then our family will go into the mountains to collect herbs. As long as they really make money, can they still sit still?" said daughter-in-law Miao.
Su Deyan nodded: "Okay, you go and learn, and your mother will get the money."
Early the next morning, Mrs. Miao sent her children to school, went to see Chen Yu, took out five taels of silver and put it on the table: "Second aunt, I want to learn to collect herbs."
Chen Yu noticed Miao himself and asked, "Where are the others? Your mother said that there are many daughters-in-law who want to learn from her."
