Chapter 322: Starting to Make Wine
The next morning, when Ruan Tang was still sleeping soundly in bed, several males in the house had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for her.
Mo Ran stayed at home to look after her, while the others took the cubs and went their separate ways.
Long Ming Chi Yuan took his cubs to the forest to pick the grapes that were not picked yesterday.
Lingze and Mobai went to the bamboo forest to find the bamboo she needed.
When Ruan Tang woke up, she found the house empty and she was a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her wake up, Mo Ran put down what he was doing, picked up the clean animal skin skirt prepared for her on the shelf, walked to her side, and said softly: "Ruan Ruan, did you sleep well? Do you want to get up?"
Ruan Tang hummed, glanced at the empty room, and asked Mo Ran, "Where are the others?"
When she was about to get up, Mo Ran took care of her dressing and said, "Longming Chiyuan took the kids to pick the grapes that were left over from yesterday. Xiaobai and Lingze went to the bamboo forest."
One sentence clearly explained the family's movements.
Ruan Tang just remembered what she said yesterday about making wine.
Thinking about the grapes drying in her yard, she quickly put on her clothes with Mo Ran and asked him, "The grapes should be dried now, right?"
Mo Ran combed her long hair with a wooden comb and tied it up at the back of her head. He then pinned it with the wooden hairpin Mo Bai had made for her. He said slowly, "There was heavy dew last night, so we took it back inside and took it out to dry in the sun this morning. It should be done by now."
Ruan Tang's pretty face flushed. She had played too hard last night and forgot to put the grapes into the space. She said in a soft voice, "Well, that's good. I'll start making wine when they come back."
It was almost noon when Mo Ran took care of her and helped her eat breakfast.
Mo Bai and Lingze also happened to cut down the bamboo.
Seeing their handsome faces flushed and their foreheads covered with sweat, Ruan Tang felt a little distressed. She called them over to wash up and said, "You've worked hard. Eat first, and then we'll do it slowly after dinner."
Lingze said softly, "Don't worry, Ruanruan, we're fine."
"It's nothing, Tangtang, don't frown. Wash your face with cold water and you'll feel refreshed." Mo Bai smiled gently and comforted her.
"Well, go get something to eat."
"it is good."
The sun was scorching at this time. Ruan Tang looked up at the sky. It was so sunny and she didn't know how the children were doing.
She was thinking of her children, who were picking grapes quickly in the vineyard.
It was not until the sun was about to set that the children's voices were heard outside the yard.
"Mom, we're back."
"Mom, let's pick all the grapes from that patch."
"And Father has brought us to another patch of grapes. Come and see, Mother, we've picked even more than yesterday!"
Ruan Tang heard the children's voices and got up and left the yard.
"Ruan Ruan, we are back." Chi Yuan and Long Ming called her in unison.
Ruan Tang smiled at the two handsome guys and said softly, "You're back. You've worked hard. Come on, take a break."
"It's not hard. Ruan Ruan is going to make wine, so let's quickly wash the grapes and dry them."
As they talked, they started working.
Ruan Tang looked at the children carefully, and just as they said, each of them was pulling a few homemade wooden trailers, and on the trailers were bulging animal skin bags.
But the children's faces were red, their foreheads and faces were covered with sweat, and their hair was wet and stuck to their foreheads.
Ruan Tang suddenly felt heartbroken.
"You've worked so hard, darlings. Why are you sweating so much?"
She walked over quickly, took out towels from the space and handed them to the children. She also took out a few bottles of sweet honey water and said distressedly, "It's so hot, wipe the sweat off your face, drink some honey water and have a good rest."
Seeing that Long Ming was already concentrating his supernatural power to wash the grapes, and Chi Yuan was using his supernatural power to dry out the grapes, she said distressedly, "It's so hot, and you've been busy for most of the day. Have a drink of water and rest for a while. There's no rush to make wine."
"It's okay, this little bit of heat is nothing. Ruan Ruan, take the kids inside first, we'll be done soon."
The two of them were very quick and had prepared everything before Ruan Tang had even started playing with the children for a while.
It was already late at this time, and Mo Ran had already prepared dinner.
Seeing Ruan Tang eager to try and start brewing, he said, "Ruan Ruan, how about we eat first? After we eat, we can slowly make it. With so many people in our family, it won't take long to make these."
Thinking that her husband and children had been busy and hard all day and must have not eaten well in the mountains, and must be hungry now, Ruan Tang nodded and said to her husband and children, "Okay, you have all worked hard today, so let's eat first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to work."
Then he waved to the children and said, "Come over here, my dears, it's time for dinner."
"Yeah, I'm hungry."
"It's time to eat. I want to eat lots of meat."
"I want to eat meat too. The meat made by Mo Ran's father is the best."
The kids were indeed hungry. In order to pick all the grapes in the forest today, they didn't eat meat at noon. They just ate the grapes while picking them, but that didn't satisfy their hunger.
Seeing the children eating heartily, Ruan Tang’s appetite improved a lot.
After the family happily finished their meal, Ruan Tang began her wine-making business.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the yard was filled with bamboo buckets and grapes.
Ruan Tang felt that it was not bright enough, so she took out a dozen Mihu flowers from the space and asked her companions to hang them high. The yard instantly became much brighter.
She said, "Okay, the preparations are done. Now I will teach you how to make this wine."
She glanced at her husband and children and made sure, "Have you washed your hands? There's no oil left, huh?"
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
"That's good, let's get started."
In front of Ruan Tang were a bamboo bucket, a bucket of washed and dried grapes, and a large bag of white sugar.
She said, "Let's first sprinkle a layer of white sugar on the bottom of the bamboo bucket... and then crush the grapes with our hands..."
As she did so, she watched her children and husband do as she said. When the grapes were spread out in a thick layer, she said, "Then sprinkle a layer of white sugar on the grapes, and repeat this process."
The fermented grapes will overflow. She gestured and said, "This bamboo bucket doesn't need to be filled to the brim. Just fill it to this point."
"I know, Mom, this is so much fun!"
"Yes, yes, and the aroma of the grapes we crushed is even stronger. It smells so good!"
"Mom, can we make the fruit wine you mentioned?"
The males also looked up at her. What she said about making fruit wine turned out to be so simple?
Ruan Tang nodded and shook her head, her hands moving constantly as she explained, "That's right and not entirely right. This is the first step. First, crush the grapes and marinate them with sugar. Then, seal it with that lid over there and let it ferment for three months. Then, filter out the grape skins and seeds, and ferment the filtered liquid for a while longer before drinking."
She looked at the greedy faces of the children and said, "The fruit wine brewed this way is sweet and delicious. You can try it when the time comes."
She explained it so clearly that the kids said they started looking forward to the taste of the fruit wine they brewed themselves from then on.
"Really? Can we drink it too, mother?" Mo Xiaoqi licked his tongue and laughed, as if he was already tasting fine wine.
"Well, this is fruit wine, you can drink some, darlings."
I heard in my previous life that this wine can beautify and nourish the skin, but I don’t know if it’s true.
Ling Ling Jiu had originally been watching the host's family making wine in his head, and after hearing the host talk about how delicious the wine was, he was already craving it. Hearing the host's thoughts, he quickly jumped out and said, "It's true, host. You can also add some Mihu flower stamens. Not only will it have a unique flavor, it will also help improve your superpowers."
"That's a good idea."
Drinking can make you happy while also improving your abilities, which is simply wonderful.
The males learned the brewing method and process of the wine after she explained it once.
Mo Ran said, "Ruan Ruan, go wash your hands and take a rest. We have already learned how to do it. Leave the rest to us."
"Yes, Ruan Ruan, these grapes are too juicy after being crushed. Your hands will feel uncomfortable if they are soaked in the juice for a long time."
Long Ming had just discovered this. There were some small cuts on his hands that had not yet healed completely. After soaking in the juice for a long time, his hands felt a slight sting. The male hands all felt some pain, and her delicate little hands must be even more uncomfortable.
"Come, Ruan Ruan, wash your hands and go take a rest." Lingze turned around and quickly brought her a basin of water for her to wash her hands.
Ruan Tang looked at her hands and saw that they were indeed a little wrinkled, so she said obediently, "Okay, then I'll start being the supervisor again."
Over the years, she has become accustomed to being a supervisor. Her husbands don't let her do anything herself, and she is happy to have some free time.
"Tangtang is the best person to be the supervisor. Clean your hands quickly and apply some of your magical hand protection."
Ruan Tang had just washed her hands when Mo Bai handed her a clean animal skin. His voice was gentle and warm, and Ruan Tang felt her ears itchy from his voice, as if a feather was brushing across her heart, making her feel numb and tingling.
"Yeah." The hand cream rewarded by the system was said by them to be a magical hand cream.
