Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Chapter 128 Full

Everyone present stared at Shen Huai as he took another sip, waiting for his result.

After a moment, he nodded slightly: "It has a slight taste of alcohol, lighter than rice wine, and its alcohol content is quite similar to fermented glutinous rice."

"It means it was successful." Shen Miaozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and she continued: "The book says that after filtering, it should be sealed again for a period of time, and the taste will be best when it is opened in winter.

You can open it and drink it within half a month at the earliest, but the taste may not be as good.

But then, we need to light the kang at night to warm up the room."

It is now early September, and the temperature difference between day and night is gradually widening. The fermentation of wine requires a temperature of around 20 degrees.

"Burn it boldly. I'll bring some people to store more firewood. Second sister can use it as you like.

As the saying goes, good grape wine goes in a luminous cup. In winter, I can enjoy the snow and drink good grape wine.

Grandma Qi, you have to come too." Shen Xianzhu clapped his hands, his innocent and scholarly air unconsciously filling the room.

Grandma Qi readily agreed, but after the father and son left the room, she whispered to her two granddaughters, "It snows a lot here in winter, and it's even colder at the foot of the mountain.

You must stay under your warm quilt and not open the windows or stand in the yard to watch the snow fall."

“Grandma, you just promised Big Brother.

In my experience, if he doesn't see you coming, he'll probably come to invite you." Shen Lingzhu pulled down the cloth covering her face, putting on a serious look, earning a roll of the eyes from her grandmother.

Qi said firmly, "When the time comes, your aunt will definitely not allow him to pick me up."

"You can't coax grandma, stop messing around and just finish the job.

Grandma, please help Xiao Zhuzi tie the cloth covering his face tighter. "The first batch produced 80 kilograms of wine, and it wasn't filtering very quickly through the double layer of cloth.

Shen Miaozhu didn't want to delegate these wine-making steps to others at the moment, for fear of wasting money adding too much sugar to make wine that would turn into juice, so she and her junior sister did everything themselves, and even her uncle and elder brother were not allowed to interfere.

As for grandma, she was very dexterous and could learn things quickly, so she occasionally asked the old lady to help her. But after all, she was old and had to take care of her aunt, so she didn't want to tire her out.

Shen Lingzhu was quite obedient. She then quietly got into work and was so absorbed in it that she didn't even notice when her grandma went out.

After the eight jars of wine were filtered and sealed, she rubbed her waist and said, "It's stiff."

"I'll give you a massage later." Shen Miaozhu pinched her nose and picked up the last bucket of residue. Although her junior sister sometimes acted like a child who had not grown up, she was still very focused and dedicated when doing things, striving to do better.

"No, Senior Sister has been busy all morning. I'll practice a set of Eight-Section Brocade to warm up." Shen Lingzhu stepped forward to grab the bucket, but was gently thrown away. Senior Sister said to close the door and left with the leftovers.

As soon as she locked the door and stood still, her grandma waved to her from the kitchen.

Shen Lingzhu quickened her pace, but when she heard the sound of horse hooves, she thought of her senior sister going to the vegetable garden outside, so she waved to her grandmother and ran out of the gate in an instant.

Just then she bumped into Captain Chen and the others who were riding uphill. She clasped her fists and said, "Captain Chen, please speak softly and slowly. There is a baby at home who is less than a month old."

"Yes." Chen Ru made a gesture, and he and his personal soldiers dismounted together, and asked them to lead the horses to the stream.

He first glanced at Shen Miaozhu who was busy working in front of the manure pile a little further away, and a flash of disbelief flashed across his eyes.

Then he quickly looked away and looked at the bamboo bow with a small red flag stuck on it and the small red flag without the bow at the gate.

As for the twins, it seemed they wouldn't be able to taste the wine today. He grabbed his purse and took out the only two small ingots he had. "Gifts."

“???” Shen Lingzhu had heard from her senior sister that the exchange rate of gold to silver at that time was about one to five, so two thumb-sized gold ingots should be worth ten taels of silver.

She didn't know whether she should accept it or not, but she definitely couldn't refuse it. Then she remembered that her uncle was in the mountains, so she said, "When a distinguished guest comes to visit, it's normal to come in and have a cup of tea.

My grandmother is responsible for the gift, I am just a child. "I can't accept your gift money.

Chen Ru hesitated for a moment, then finally walked into the courtyard and went straight into the hall.

Shen Lingzhu immediately poured water and came out with the inner room. Nanny Qian, who was obviously a little afraid of the government troops, said, "Sister-in-law, please ask my grandmother to come over."

Before she finished speaking, Grandma Qi came quickly over with hot sugar tea.

Shen Lingzhu nodded slightly to Qian Hu, then went forward to welcome the grandmother in and took the sugar tea and placed it in front of Chen Ru who stood up, "Please enjoy."

Chen Ru saw four full fried eggs in the bowl, which was considered the most sincere gift of hospitality from Shenquanji to its guests.

He bowed to Qi and said, "Old man, you are too polite."

"Everyone who enters is a guest. Please eat while it's hot, sir." Qi was not as timid as Qian Niang who retreated into the inner room. She recognized that the patch on the other party was that of an official of the Five Military Ranks, and she responded calmly.

Chen Ru sincerely presented two small gold ingots. Grandma then took out the gift list on the table and asked, "What is your name, distinguished guest?"

When Shen Lingzhu heard Captain Chen mention Zhuang Dalang's name, he almost wanted to reach out and give him a thumbs up.

Chen Ru was naturally unaware of her inner complaints. He finished a bowl of sugar tea and then said goodbye and left.

After Grandma personally saw her off, she glanced around and asked, "Did your second sister go to work in the shed up ahead?"

"Grandma, shouldn't you ask Captain Chen why he came to give gifts?" Shen Lingzhu asked back. She had already seen her senior sister walk out of the greenhouse next to the vegetable garden and waved to her to come quickly.

Grandma chuckled, "I'm not blind or deaf, so I know he had other things to do and changed his mind at the last minute."

Basically, the gifts given to the host family of a newborn baby are eggs or cloth. No one comes up to give two gold ingots.

"Grandma is so awesome, he probably came to see if the wine has been opened.

We promised him." Shen Lingzhu concealed much of her weight and asked the senior sister who had come to her, "Second sister, you didn't come over just now because you didn't want him to take the wine?"

Shen Miaozhu nodded: "After he tastes it, he will definitely take one or two jars for himself.

Rather than letting it go to waste carelessly, it’s better for it to remain in our home.”

Just as Shen Lingzhu was about to say something, Grandma Qian came over and said, "Third Miss, the Madam is looking for you."

"I'll be right there." Shen Lingzhu said as she hurried home. She didn't notice her grandmother and senior sister shaking their heads at the same time. "Your aunt must be asking who it was just now."

What grandma said was absolutely right. Mrs. Hu was indeed asking this question, and Shen Lingzhu answered the question herself.

My aunt sighed and said, "When there is a chance in the future, the gift money must be returned double.

Your uncle should also include him in the invitation to the full moon banquet."

"Write about Zhuang Dalang?" Shen Lingzhu felt that neither his uncle nor Captain Chen liked each other very much.

Is it because their civil and military officials are not subordinate to each other?

"We will invite whoever's name is on the gift list." Mrs. Hu asked her to go and get the gift list.

Shen Lingzhu asked Sister Qian to bring back a pot of hot tea, while she said to her aunt, "Shall we change the wet nurse?"
