She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Chapter 399 Making Wine 2

When Gu Qingqing heard the familiar voice, she was delighted and called out "Mom, why are you here?" before she even saw the person.

"I came to see you. I don't know how you have been these days. Are you feeling better?" As Gu Jia said this, she walked into the courtyard with a basket on her arm.

"Grandma!" The second girl rushed over immediately when she saw Gu Jia coming.

Over there, Xiao Wen Nuan stood there for a long while before she realized what was happening and ran towards Gu Jia, "Uncle."

Gu Jia squatted down and put the basket on the side. She held her two granddaughters in her arms and said affectionately, "Grandma's darlings, do you miss grandma?"

"Grandma, I miss you so much. I'm just wondering when you'll come back."

"Shrimp!" Xiao Wen Nuan continued to speak unclearly.

"Haha, grandma also wants to have two or three flowers. Look, grandma brought you some wild apricots and plums. Your uncle specially went to find these. They must be sweet." Gu Jia said, pointing to the basket on the ground.

Gu Qingqing looked at the basket full of yellow apricots and wild strawberries, and couldn't help swallowing as she thought about the sour taste.

"Mom, find a place to sit. I'll go wash these fruits." Gu Qingqing said as she picked up the basket and went to wash them.

I heard Wenrou saying to my grandmother from behind, "Grandma, we have a name now..."

When Gu Qing finished washing the apricots and came over, he saw Gu Jia, Niu Li and Wen Shengxi washing the jars and vats in the yard.

Gu Qingqing asked Wenrou to pick a few small apricots to send to her grandmother and Niu Nainai, while she removed the apricot pits before giving the flesh to Xiaoyang, Xiaoguang and Xiao Wennuan in the yard.

"Qingqing, what are you going to do with these jars and jars?" Gu Jia asked while helping to clean them.

"I'm going to pickle the grapes with the jar and make some wine. I'm going to can some peaches for the kids to eat as a snack with the jar."

When she said this, Gu Jia and Niu Li were both stunned. They could guess what canned peaches were, but the key was how grapes could be turned into wine?

The two women, whose combined age was almost a hundred years old, looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Niu Li was the one who reacted faster. "Ah? Wuyan called Yuzhu up to pick grapes today in order to turn them into wine? How can good grapes be turned into wine? Isn't it said that only grains can be made into wine?"

Gu Qingqing chuckled and said, "Aunt, yes. It's very simple. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can learn it here."

Just as Gu Qingqing finished her words, Niu Li glared at her again, "You're just talking nonsense. You can make wine, that's your ability. How can you show off your ability to others?"

Gu Qingqing herself didn’t particularly care about these things. Since she was willing to do it in front of these people, it was because she trusted them from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking of this, she also said, "You are not outsiders, it doesn't matter if you see it."

"Haha, I don't want to watch it, so as to avoid feeling uncomfortable as if my heart was scratched by a cat's claws in the future." Niu Li laughed and shook her head.

With the help of Gu Jia and Niu Li, the three jars and several jars of different sizes were all washed and the water droplets were wiped off.

Seeing that they were almost done, Gu Qingqing leaned over and said pleasantly, "Don't bother two masters with one thing. Mother and aunt are helping you use this fine cotton cloth to dip the sorghum wine and wipe the inside and sides of the jar. This way, the wine will not spoil easily after being disinfected."

Seeing that she had so many tricks, such as disinfection and grapes not spoiling easily, the few people were too lazy to ask and just said, "We will do whatever you want us to do."

Otherwise, it would be hard to listen to her talk in a lot of different ways.

After cleaning the vessels used to hold wine, Gu Qingqing led everyone to build a few racks, on which were placed bamboo poles as thick as an adult's index finger.

This group of people were busy with their own things in the yard.

On the other side, Wen Wuyan, Niu Yuzhu, Lao Yangtou, Zhao Nan, Li Xin, Wen Xin and a group of people went up the mountain. Li Xin and Wen Xin followed them mainly to pick fruits in places that were difficult for adults to get into.

They picked four baskets in half a morning.

When passing by a stream in another village, I followed Gu Qingqing's instructions before leaving and rinsed the grapes in water to wash off the dust on them, and tried to preserve the white frost on the grapes.

For this purpose, they brought a large basket with them when they came out.

When Wen Wuyan and the others came back with the washed grapes, Gu Qingqing hurriedly asked Wen Shengxi to bring out the canned water that had been boiled last night for everyone to drink.

The cool, sweet water and peach pulp with a strong peach flavor immediately won everyone's praise.

"Auntie, this is sweet and delicious." Niu Xiaoguang said, wanting to lick the bowl.

"Auntie didn't make much last night. Can you make more and send some to Xiaoguang later?"

"Okay, okay." Niu Xiaoguang was very happy.

"You greedy cat." Niu Li laughed and scolded from the side.

After everyone finished eating their half bowl of canned peaches, Gu Qingqing asked everyone to dry the bunches of grapes on the bamboo racks, while checking to see if there were any cracked or broken grapes.

Wild grapes are not like the densely packed bunches in the previous life. The bunches of wild grapes are very fragmented, the main stem is not obvious, and many small stems will grow on the main stem, with grapes hanging on the top.

So it’s convenient to dry it now.

As for those that accidentally fell, they were washed again and hung on bamboo strips to dry.

At noon, Gu Qingqing invited Niu Li to have a quick bite at her home, and in the afternoon she had to put the grapes, which had been completely dried out of the skin, into the jar.

The process of putting the materials into the tank must be kept clean. Gu Qingqing couldn't do it herself, so she asked the people who were going to do it to wipe their hands with white wine.

Then they were helped to divide the work. Some were responsible for picking the grapes and throwing them into the jar, while others were responsible for crushing all the grapes in the jar.

These people are all used to farm work, and they all do their job and get the job done quickly.

When the donkey cart returned from the town, all three and a half cylinders in the house had been prepared.

Gu Qingqing knew that everyone had worked hard today, so she specifically told Wen Wuyan to cook an extra dish of braised chicken for everyone tonight.

Lu Xiaocao's mother came and she was very happy. She had originally planned to go back today and bring the money she got from the shop back to her mother, but now she was the only one left running back and forth.

She pulled Gu Jiashi to the room she and Shengxi lived in the backyard and closed the door. When Gu Jiashi left, the smile on her face was extremely bright.

On the other side, Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang were also very excited to see their mother come back. Fortunately, their grandmother was watching them, so they didn't follow her to the backyard to make trouble.

Only Wang Baoyu, excited, expectant, and a little nervous, found Gu Qingqing and asked, "The shop will open tomorrow. Are there any ceremonies to be performed?"

"There's nothing much to prepare, just set off some firecrackers for some fun. I'll go with you tomorrow."
