After leaving Jinhua, Zhong Ziqi remembered her wine-making plan, so she changed her route to another store, which only sold some household appliances.
Zhong Ziqi wants to buy wine jars. Some are as tall as a person, some are as big as a palm, and there are all kinds of them. Zhong Ziqi carefully selected four jars that were nearly as big as his knees, and paid twelve Wen.
Back home, Zhong Ziqi lay down on the bed and rested for a while. After tossing and tossing for the past two days, fortunately, his body has improved a lot after this period of exercise, otherwise he would have collapsed a long time ago.
Zhao Zheng'an steals food for the small animals in the house, whispers to them while feeding them, and occasionally giggles.
Zhong Ziqi thinks this kind of life is very good and fulfilling. In his previous life, because there were teachers in his family, there were a lot of rules. This made him and his brother very depressed every time they went home, but they were still very happy. Love this family, but now he can only entrust it to his brother, I don't know if they are doing well.
Zhong Ziqi realized in a daze that it seemed that he hadn't recalled his previous life for a long time, perhaps those memories would slowly fade away with time and his current life.
After resting for a while, Zhong Ziqi got up and went to the kitchen. Looking at the sun, it must be past ten o'clock. Zhong Ziqi mixed noodles with stuffing and baked a few pies. They were not too hungry after a meal in a restaurant. Zhang and Zhong Ziqi wrapped the rest in oiled paper, and Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Zhengan carried the three bamboo baskets at home and went up the mountain again.
Zhong Ziqi's direction of entering the mountain is somewhat to the left due to the geographical location, while the villagers' direction of entering the mountain is somewhat to the right. So they seldom meet other people, and this is not without Zhong Ziqi's deliberate element.
Because no one cares about it here, the plants grow very well and there are a lot of ingredients. But Zhong Ziqi's primary goal now is to pick the fruit. Zhong Ziqi was led by Zhao Zhengan to walk across a hillside, where the fruits looked plump and bigger.
Zhong Ziqi pointed to a wild peach tree and said: "Zheng'an, you pick peaches, pick the red ones, not the green ones."
Zhao Zhengan nodded.
Zhong Ziqi went to pick grapes, there was a vine not far away, it was a small grape, Zhong Ziqi picked one and tasted it, it was sour and a little sweet, that was it!
Zhong Ziqi stood on tiptoe and carefully picked off a bunch of them and put them in the well-laid back basket. With a glance, Zhong Ziqi saw the unique green worms of vines, chubby ones as big as a thumb lying on the leaves, and he shivered. Goose bumps all over his body, he is most afraid of this kind of mollusk, it is soft and has no grip, he played with it when he was young, but when he grows up, he will take a detour, he doesn't want to see it.
But there was nothing to do at the moment, Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zhengan who was not far away, gritted her teeth, hypnotized herself that she could see nothing, and then kept her eyes fixed on the grapes and not on the leaves. Grapes are easy to pick, they take up a lot of space and within a short time one basket will be full.
Zhong Ziqi wiped the sweat from his forehead, even though the forest blocked a lot of sunlight, it was still very hot. Carrying a basket of Zhong Ziqi, he walked to Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan had already picked half of the basket of peaches. He reached out to take off the basket on his wife, and his eyes were suddenly attracted: "Daughter-in-law, don't move."
Zhong Ziqi stopped moving immediately, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" He had a bad premonition.
Zhao Zhengan made a move on his collar, and a hairy, gray hairy hot pepper was pinched by Zhao Zhengan in his hand, and presented to him like a treasure.
"Ah!!! Go away!!!" Zhong Ziqi shouted angrily, and took a big step back tensely.
Zhao Zheng'an stood there at a loss, with his hands still raised, and looked at the violently reacting daughter-in-law foolishly.
Zhong Ziqi slowed down her beating heart, and angrily gouged out a look at the stupid standing person: "What are you still doing, you want to eat?"
Zhao Zhengan hurriedly threw away the struggling thing, looked at him uneasy like a child making a mistake, and yelled: "Daughter-in-law..."
Zhong Ziqi didn't hide her fear: "I'm afraid of that thing, don't scare me with it!"
Only then did Zhao Zheng'an realize what he had done. He actually bullied his wife ⊙▽⊙, it was simply unforgivable. Well, he remembered that the daughter-in-law was afraid of this, but actually... it's not scary at all.
"Daughter-in-law, go back, I can pick it." Zhao Zhengan saw something on the tree, and he couldn't bear his daughter-in-law's fear.
Zhong Ziqi was still a little weak now, so she hesitated and asked him, "Can I do it by myself?" Although Zhao Zhengan was also a little scared, he still patted his chest bravely.
Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Then you have to be careful, come back after picking, don't go far away."
"understood."
Zhong Ziqi handed Zhao Zhengan the pie she had brought, carried his basket of grapes on her back, and went down the mountain. Their home is not very far from here, standing here can see his house at a glance. This is also where Zhong Ziqi feels at ease, he can see him when he sits in the courtyard.
After returning home, Zhong Ziqi drank a large bowl of cold water before picking up the grapes. I found a large basin, sprinkled some salt, soaked the grapes in it, washed them briefly, rinsed them with clean water several times, and put them in the sun to dry.
After hammering his waist, Zhong Ziqi raised his head, seeing that figure was still there, he felt relieved. Sitting in the yard, turning over the grapes from time to time, let the grapes dry as soon as possible.
Here Zhao Zhengan picked a basket of peaches and a basket of plums according to his wife's instructions. He hugged one in the front and the other in the back and carefully descended the mountain.
Zhong Ziqi saw him coming down from a distance, and hurriedly got up to pick him up.
"Stupid, carry one by one!" Zhong Ziqi took the basket in front of him.
"Not tired." Zhao Zhengan patted his head and smiled.
After entering the courtyard, Zhong Ziqi put down the basket, entered the room and poured a bowl of water to Zhao Zhengan.
Zhao Zhengan drank it in one gulp. Then sit in the courtyard and eat the cold pie. Zhong Ziqi saw that the grapes were dry, so she went into the house and took out the jar and put the grapes in it. Wash your hands and arms carefully, then reach into the jar to crush the grapes.
Zhao Zhengan found it interesting and wanted to try it.
"Wash your hands clean."
"Oh." Zhao Zhengan ran to the kitchen to wash his hands.
"Just crush the grapes."
Zhao Zhengan happily stretched out his hand to grab it inside.
Zhong Ziqi didn't care about him picking up the plums and peaches beside him. This thing is not easy to clean up, you have to get out the core inside, and the rest is similar to wine making.
After Zhao Zhengan basically crushed the grapes, Zhong Ziqi sprinkled half a bag of sugar, then sealed it with yellow mud, and instructed Zhao Zhengan to put it in a cool place.
As the sky was getting darker, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were busy sealing the peaches and plums and putting them in the empty room together with the wine.
