Chapter 22 Medicinal Wine
Early the next morning, after breakfast, He Yuzhu and his wife took Yuyu and Xiaohu to the small courtyard to clean up.
"Zhuzhu, what are you going to do with the medicinal materials in the east wing?" the master's wife wiped all the cabinets in the medicine shop and asked.
"I'll just find a drug store to dispose of it cheaply later. I'll also dispose of the ones stored in the basement. None of us understand this," He Yuzhu said.
He Yuzhu plans to put all these medicinal materials into the space. After all, making medicinal wine and making medicinal meals require medicinal materials. Although he can gather these secret recipes from the medicinal materials he grows in the space, he can use these ordinary medicinal materials to brew some medicinal wine and take it out to focus on low-end products. The medicinal wine brewed from the medicinal materials in the space can take a high-end route.
"Then what are you going to do with this shop? Rent it out?" asked the master's wife.
"I don't plan to rent it out. It's just me and Yu Yu who live here. It's too messy to rent it to someone else to open a shop. One more thing is worse than one less thing. I plan to find someone to restore the walls first when the weather gets warm next year. It won't be a shop anymore. This way, people won’t worry about it,” He Yuzhu said.
"That's fine. Your current salary is enough to support you and Rainwater. Being safe is better than anything else." said the teacher's wife.
After another day of cleaning, the courtyard was finally cleaned up.
"Zhuzi, all we need now is bedding. You buy some cloth and cotton tomorrow and I will make them for you." said the teacher's wife.
"Okay, Master, I will buy it tomorrow." He Yuzhu said.
After two days of cleaning up the small courtyard, it was finally tidied up. All that was needed was the bedding and it was ready to live in.
The next day, He Yuzhu came to the small courtyard alone.
Go to the east wing again,
I started to study the medicinal wine, processed the medicinal materials according to Mr. Hu's records, and took out the sorghum wine I had prepared before. Use the space to start brewing medicinal wine. The most classic tiger whip wine and tiger bone wine are both must-haves. There is also a secret palace recipe that Mr. Hu obtained from nowhere. It is said to be used to nourish the emperor's kidneys and nourish the beauty of the concubines in the harem. He Yuzhu got them all out. Using space, time accelerated, and the two wines brewed, one red and one green, but no one knew what had happened. If red is for beauty, just call it red sleeves. Doesn’t red sleeves add fragrance? One green is tonic for the kidneys, because it is green. Didn’t the poet Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty have a poem about green ants and new fermented wine, and a small red clay stove. Just call it a green ant.
Go to the basement of the east wing, first collect all the medicinal materials that were previously confiscated in the space, and empty the entire basement.
After a busy morning, He Yuzhu had to buy cloth, so he put all the items in the drug store into the space. Went to the cloth store.
At the cloth store, buy all the cloths as the teacher's wife said. I thought that I would need to vote for everything in the future, and the tickets issued in a year would not be enough to make clothes. I have to find a way to make some more money and buy some cloth to stockpile. After all, I have to persist for a long time.
After buying the cloth, I walked to the master's house. When I was near the master's house, I took the opportunity to take out the cotton from the space when there was no one in front or behind me. I took out some tomatoes, cucumbers and eggs.
Take these things back to Master's house.
"Zhuzhu, why did you buy tomatoes and cucumbers again? They are so expensive now." The teacher's wife took the cloth and cotton and said when she saw the tomatoes and cucumbers that He Yuzhu bought.
"Isn't it because Yuyu and Xiaohu like to eat them? Besides, these are generally not found on the market now. If you don't buy them if you find them, you don't know how long it will take." He Yuzhu replied.
After lunch, He Yuzhu returned to the small courtyard.
It's cold now, so it's not easy to make major changes. Let's make do with it for now. When the weather gets warm next year, bathrooms and toilets will have to be arranged.
Thinking that I could move in after the mistress made the bedding, I first went to the kitchen, took out the rice, flour, peanut oil, etc. from the space and put them away. I still have to buy salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings.
Go to the east wing and continue processing the medicinal wine.
After the medicinal wine is brewed, it needs to be divided into jars. Control the space and divide the medicine and wine into jars.
Because it is medicinal wine, it is only divided into 1 jin and 3 jin packages.
After dividing the space, put out 100 kilograms of white wine and rice wine each (5 kilograms for 10 jars, 3 kilograms for 10 jars, and 1 kilogram for 20 jars). The medicinal wine Green Ant and Red Sleeve are 20 kilograms each, both of which are packed in 1 kilogram. Tiger bone wine and tiger whip wine are 10 kilograms each, and they are also packed in 1 kilogram. A 5L bucket of wine was also taken out.
Store all kinds of wine separately, and the entire basement will have a faint aroma of wine.
'Just as I was about to go out to buy something, I heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he saw his second senior brother Xu Guowei. Then he invited the second senior brother to come in.
"This small yard has been tidied up. It looks much more pleasing to the eye." The second senior brother looked at the clean yard and said, "When do you plan to move in?"
"I'll move in after my wife makes the bedding for me." He Yuzhu and his second senior brother entered the living room and sat down.
He Yuzhu picked up the thermos, poured a cup of hot water for the second senior brother, and placed it in front of the second senior brother.
"Second Senior Brother, there is nothing here, only hot water." He Yuzhu said.
"Just have some hot water to drink." The second senior brother said, "I'm here today because I have something to do with you."
"What do you want from me, Second Senior Brother?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Do you still have the wine you gave me last time?" Second Senior Brother asked.
"In a few days, it will be your sister-in-law's father's birthday. She and your sister-in-law have to go back for a meal. You gave me the rice wine and your sister-in-law also drank it. She thought it tasted good. After drinking it, she felt warm and comfortable. Her old man is good at wine. , I just wanted to send a jar to her father for a taste. I looked around several places yesterday and couldn't find it, so I had to come to you." The second senior brother explained.
"Hey, isn't it just a jar of wine? You can just come to me directly. This wine was brewed by a friend of mine based on ancient books. The materials are difficult to find. As soon as it came out, we divided it up and didn't sell it at all. You Of course I can't find it," He Yuzhu said.
"Just wait, I'll get you a drink. Do you want the Baijiu Wangyou?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Yes, no fool would want it. I drank that liquor, it tasted good, and I was drunk. When I woke up the next day, my head didn't hurt at all." The second senior brother said.
"Okay, I'll get you a jar as well." He Yuzhu said.
He Yuzhu came to the east wing and took out the wine from the basement. After thinking about it, he went down to get a jar of green ants and a jar of red sleeves. He Yuzhu moved the wine to the door.
"Brother, I brought you wine. The two small jars are medicinal wine. Green Ant is for men to drink, to nourish the kidneys, and Red Sleeves is for women to drink, to beautify the face. It is said to be a secret recipe of the palace. It is a warming tonic, not a tiger and wolf medicine. , a small cup a day will have the effect, you go back and try it," He Yuzhu said.
"Okay, I'll go back and give it a try." The second senior brother replied.
"Take this money. I don't know how much you paid for it. That's all I have." The second senior brother handed He Yuzhu two big black tens and said.
"Brother, no, you have helped me so much, how can I ask for your money." He Yuzhu declined.
"My brother has settled the score. If you don't take the money, how can I have the nerve to ask you for drinks in the future?" said the second senior brother.
"Then it won't take so much." He Yuzhu said.
"I know how this wine is, and besides, there are these two jars of medicinal wine. If my senior brother asks you to take them, just take them."
Seeing that the second senior brother was resolute, He Yuzhu stopped refusing.
"How do you take it back?" He Yuzhu asked.
"Your sister-in-law made two cloth bags for me to put on the back of my bicycle," the second senior brother replied.
"Is it strong? Don't let it leak halfway." He Yuzhu asked.
"Don't worry, it's very strong." The second senior brother said.
He Yuzhu helped put the wine on the rack behind the bicycle and sent the second senior brother out.
"You ride slowly on the road." He Yuzhu warned.
"I know, please go back and I'm leaving." The second senior brother got on his bicycle and walked away slowly.
He Yuzhu also turned around to tidy up and went out to buy seasonings.
