After finishing the meal and clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, everyone in the Lin family sat aside except for Lin Cheng, who was sleeping after drinking the medicine. The two children were still eating the fruit, watching them keep turning.
"There are bamboo baskets for fruit, but there are no large ceramic jars at home, but the trolley can be borrowed from others."
"Is there a carpenter in the village? If there is one, we can customize wooden barrels." Lin Mo asked after thinking about it.
In fact, if you want to make good wine, it is best to use oak barrels as containers. Tannins and other ingredients in oak barrels can improve the quality of wine and achieve the effect of aging. The credit is indisputable.
But if you want to make wine that is closer to the taste of grapes, you can use ceramics, glass and other containers, but Lin Mo still wants to take advantage of this time to quickly play the wine brand.
Through the conversation just now, Lin Mo also knew that people here have never tried to make wine with fruit, even if there is, but it has not appeared in the market, it should only be made by those rich people who are idle and bored.
Fruit wine is easy to make. Once Lin Mo and the others sell the first batch and make money, someone will follow suit and make money. Not to mention others, every household in Daling Village has a fruit forest. They saw that Lin Mo made money with fruit. will follow suit.
So as long as the taste of Lin's fruit wine is different from other people's, a series of promotions will definitely make other people remember it and make it a brand.
Moreover, Lin Mo's most important thing this time is to make wine, not only because he is good at it, but also because the raw grapes for the wine only grow on the cliff beside their fruit forest, which is probably the only one in Daling Village.
"Uncle Zhang's family is a carpenter in our village, we can go to him." Lin Xing, who was sitting at the side listening to their conversation, said.
Lin Mo nodded, and then began to talk to them about the future arrangements. After everything was ordered, the others also started to act.
Mother Lin and Lin Xing went to the village to borrow two carts. In fact, Lin Mo wanted to borrow a cow to pull the cart so that he would not have to work so hard. But in ancient times, farmers seemed to value cattle more than their lives. It is basically impossible for an ox to pull a cart.
Father Lin went to Carpenter Zhang to order two large wooden barrels. Lin Mo also roughly told Father Lin about the specific structure of the barrels. Lin Mo planned to pick all the grapes with the whole family tomorrow morning. Mo started brewing, and the others continued to pick other fruits in the orchard.
Although Lin Mo didn't want to be in such a hurry, most of the fruits in the fruit forest were completely ripe, and if they were not picked quickly, they would definitely fall off in a few days.
In addition to making wine, Lin Mo also plans to make some other fruit wine, or make other fruit products, such as dried fruit, canned fruit or other fruit desserts. After all, some fruits in the fruit forest are not suitable for wine making, but Lin Mo will not pick them if he does not pick them. It's a pity to rot in the fruit forest.
The wooden barrels that Lin's father went to order were large and small, two large wooden barrels, and 20 smaller wooden barrels for the time being. There are more than ten varieties of fruit in the Lin family's fruit forest. If all of them are brewed into fruit wine, it will definitely not be enough, okay. Now it's just part of the brewing.
The time given by Lin Mo is that a large wooden barrel must be made before noon tomorrow, and the rest can be delayed a little later, after all, he will first process the grapes he picked tomorrow.
Fortunately, the eldest son of Zhang Carpenter's family is also a carpenter. The two fathers and sons started working together, and there was enough time.
After Lin Mu and Lin Xing borrowed the trolley back, Lin Mo followed them to the town to buy other materials needed to make fruit wine, and stopped by to see what other ways to make money.
After the fruit wine is brewed, it will take a while to start making money. Wine making is a long-term plan in making money, and Lin Mo still needs a way to make money quickly.
Lin Mo is good at cooking, but it is impossible for him to become a chef in a restaurant. Besides, even if he is willing to go to other restaurants, he may not accept it. After all, he is now a half-grown country boy.
Lin Mo followed Mother Lin and the others to the entrance of the village, where there happened to be a donkey cart carrying people to the town. Perhaps the sun was brighter in the afternoon, and most people who wanted to go to the town left in the morning, so now they take the donkey cart There are fewer people in cars.
Lin Mo straightened the straw hat on his head, and followed Mother Lin and the others into the donkey cart. There were some older aunts in the cart. Lin Mo sat silently beside Mother Lin, and Lin Xing was on the other side.
As soon as they came up, the others started chatting with Mother Lin. The peasant women could talk a lot when staying together, nothing more than talking about household chores, the harvest of the family land, and the marriage of their children.
"By the way, Aunt Lin, your little brother is about to be fifteen years old. Why haven't you found a marriage for him? My little brother is sixteen and unmarried, but he will be assigned by the government."
The few of them chatted and chatted and talked about the marriage of Lin Mo who was sitting at the side. When they sat at the side and heard the message that "the little brother is getting married", their minds were instantly stunned.
get married? ! How strange is it that a man like him wants to marry someone
"Aunt Lin, let me tell you that most of the people allocated by the government are divorced or widowers, and most of them have children in their families. This was told to me by a relative in the yamen, and many people don't know about it." Aunt Wu, who has a good relationship with Mother Lin, said softly.
"It actually happened?!" Mother Lin was in disbelief.
After all, many old people in Daling Village got married within the time limit set by the government, so few people in the village would know the news.
"That's why, while there is still more than a year left, hurry up and find a good home for your little brother. Your little brother is good-looking and delicate, so don't be ruined by a bad family." Said an aunt with a bamboo basket on her wrist.
When they said that Mo Geer was good-looking and delicate, it was not meant to be ironic. The Lin family all looked iconic, although they were not the kind that would be stunning at first glance, they were still attractive.
They had met Lin Xiu, the second son of the Lin family. If it weren't for the fact that scholars who take the imperial examination are not affected by the government's unified distribution of marriages, Lin Xiu should have married as early as eighteen years old. Many girls in the village used to marry under the name of What about the idea of entering Lin's house
And they also just met Lin Mo, a young brother of the Lin family who is not often seen in the village. He has fair skin, a slender figure, and a good-looking face. It would be a pity for such a young brother to marry a widower.
And I heard that the younger brother of the Lin family has been weak since he was a child, so isn't it because he is delicate? Marry those divorced men and work for them? If it goes on for a long time, the body will definitely not be able to bear it.
"I should have looked for it earlier..." Mother Lin nodded. But in his heart he was very worried, Mo Ge'er's health was not good, how could anyone be willing to marry a brother who couldn't work and go home.
Mother Lin didn't know the inside story of the government's unified distribution before, and she thought that if she couldn't find it, she could only obey the government's unified distribution. marry or marry.
But now that I know, Mother Lin is not willing to let Mo Geer marry those people and suffer. It seems that after going back, we have to discuss it, or let the third daughter in the town pay attention to whether there is a suitable family.
Lin Mo's mind is a little messed up now, what kind of brother wants to marry someone, who is he marrying as a man? And what about 'unified distribution by the government'? Is the ancient times so powerful now? If you don't marry or get married when you reach the age, the government will still find a husband or wife
Lin Mo thought to himself, after he went back, he had to ask his mother, whether she had any doubts or not, it would be a major event in life.
When they arrived in the town, Mother Lin and the others got off the car and separated. Lin Mo didn't think about what happened just now, and followed Mother Lin while observing the surroundings.
It is already afternoon, but there are still many people in the town. There are many hawkers setting up stalls on both sides of the road. There are food and some women’s small jewelry. Rouge gouache.
In short, everything that needs to be bought can be found in the town. Lin Mo also noticed a strange thing, some men actually put powder on their faces, and they looked a bit unmasculine, very weird.
Lin Mo's face was paralyzed, and he looked at those people, and he found that most of the people who applied powder were thin and short.
What made Lin Mo's shattered three views explode again was that he saw a few men with big bellies, no, Lin Mo was already sure that they were not men, they should be a kind of "brother".
"Brother Mo, do you want to buy rouge and gouache? That's right, you are probably the only brother in the village who hasn't painted it, do you want to buy some back?"
Mother Lin, who always pays attention to her brothers, sees him always staring at those brothers, thinking that he is envious of other brothers.
"No... my body shouldn't be able to use those rouge powders." Lin Mo refused with a stiff face.
"That's right... Then I'll buy you some jewelry. Our little brother is so pretty, and he looks even better with jewelry on." Mother Lin thought for a while and said.
"Fourth brother looks better than the other brothers!" Lin Xing, who was walking aside, echoed.
In Lin Xing's eyes, his fourth brother is the prettiest in the village, the other brothers are not as white as his face, even if they are just as white as his fourth brother.
What's the use of a man being good-looking! Forget it, maybe he is no longer a man, Lin Mo felt a little tired inexplicably.
"Okay, we're here to buy materials for brewing, and we'll buy jewelry next time."
"Okay, next time I'll buy a few more pieces for Mo Geer," Mother Lin smiled, her eyes were a little sad, if it wasn't for the eldest son having an accident and needing money...
Lin Mo: "..." What are you thinking about.
