Chapter 45 Cooperation.

Zhu Aiqing seemed worried before going to bed. Tian Manyin beside her had gone to bed early and was snoring loudly. When she saw her heartless husband, she was so angry that she slapped Tian Manyin awake, "What's wrong? I slept well, why did you hit me?" Tian Manyin's eyes were filled with sleepiness.

"You really don't worry about family affairs at all. Sisi just went to deliver things to Zhong Shigen's family. If anyone knows about this, our family will be in trouble." Zhu Aiqing is still worried about dealing with Zhong Shigen's family. Who dares to associate with rich peasants these days? If someone knows about it, even if the old man is an old revolutionary, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Wouldn't it be better to have less trouble?

Zhu Aiqing deliberately did not tell her mother-in-law about the situation of Zhong Shigen's family in recent years, because she was worried that her mother-in-law would show kindness to help Zhao Manxiu's family. Unexpectedly, she tried to hide it, but she was found out by this little guy A'nan.

Seeing the sad look on his wife's face, Tian Manyin smiled nonchalantly. His wife just loves to worry. She just associates with rich peasants. What a big deal. Besides, it doesn't matter if a little girl sends something to her. It doesn't matter if someone sees her. They adults can just bite them to death and say they don't know. What else can those rebels do?

"It's time to go to sleep. Don't think too much. What does a little girl doing have to do with us? Just say you don't know!"

Zhu Aiqing's eyes lit up. Yes, she was really in a dead end. She just pretended that she didn't know. With her father-in-law's background, as long as they didn't commit any crime, the rebels didn't dare to do anything to them. Zhu Aiqing excitedly patted her husband on the back. At critical moments, men still take the lead!

Tian Manyin, who was woken up, was simply too lazy to sleep. He had been eating and drinking well these past few days and was feeling angry. Now that he was awake, he might as well get angry. He chuckled, turned around and hugged his wife. Not long after, he heard heavy breathing and tender moans.

The busiest period of spring plowing has passed, and all that is left is some finishing work. After Tian Xinhua saw the bags full of sorghum, he stopped working in the fields and prepared to do a big job. The old man repeatedly told the two little guys that they must do it quietly and try not to let others know, and they should not brew too much at one time, lest the smell of alcohol escape too much and be smelled by the villagers.

The old man thought carefully. How could Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi not agree? When Mrs. Zhao heard that Bai Yuan asked her granddaughter to make wine, she immediately organized a room in the backyard. This room was originally intended to be used by Mrs. Zhao to cook pig food, but later she was only allowed to raise one pig, so Mrs. Zhao didn't use it and kept it empty. Now it is convenient for Tian Sisi and Tian Xinhua.

Tian Sisi took out a lot of pastries and distributed them to Donghua Jianguo and the others, and asked a few little guys to collect firewood in the back mountain. Making wine requires a lot of firewood. Everything was ready. Tian Sisi, Tian Xinhua and other villagers went to work, and they started the wine making business.

They did not dare to steam too much, and only steamed a hundred kilograms of sorghum at a time. Tian Sisi took out ten koji fruits. Seeing the surprised look on Tian Xinhua's face, Tian Sisi explained: "This is an excellent wine medicine, which can make more wine come out."

Tian Xinhua has seen a lot of Tian Sisi's mysteries in the past few days, and Tian Xinhua has become accustomed to it. Moreover, he has determined that these wine recipes and food must be related to Ah Nan. Grandpa probably related these to himself in order to protect Ah Nan. This is good, it is better for people to think of Grandpa than to involve Grandpa. Tian Xinhua subconsciously thinks so.

Although the old and the young did not discuss each other, they unanimously made the same choice to protect Tian Sisi. It must be said that this was Tian Sisi's luck.

Tian Sisi told Tian Xinhua the steps of brewing wine. She was not a diligent person in the first place. As long as she taught Tian Xinhua, she would not have to do so much work in the future. Tian Xinhua didn't know that Tian Sisi treated him as a coolie. He only knew that A'nan told him these secret recipes without reservation. He was so moved that he was so moved that his eyes looked so "loving" that Tian Sisi turned into sugar.

"Brother Xinhua, are you very touched? Don't be too touched. From now on, you will do all the work. I will just sit back and count the money." Tian Sisi stood up on tiptoes and patted Tian Xinhua's shoulder.

Tian Xinhua smiled and said: "Okay, brother Xinhua will do the work, and grandma will count the money."

So easy to talk to? If things were going according to the past, Tian Xinhua would definitely have ridiculed himself. What happened today? Tian Sisi glanced at Tian Xinhua suspiciously, something was really wrong.

Tian Sisi didn't know that at this time, no matter what technology was, it was very confidential. It was usually passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. From generation to generation, masters and disciples had to leave a hand, and each master kept a hand. Therefore, later on, many ancient crafts were lost. Tian Sisi didn't understand this. She only knew that to make herself comfortable, she had to teach an apprentice. Moreover, Tian Sisi believed in Tian Xinhua. If it were another person, she might not be so generous.

The two put the mixed cooked sorghum into the vat for fermentation. Tian Sisi estimated that the fermentation time would take about a day, several times faster than ordinary wine. Tian Xinhua counted the large vats at home, and there were five or six of them, which Mrs. Zhao used to make pickles. After thinking about it, he simply steamed a few more pots of sorghum and used the remaining vats, so that he could steam the wine in one go tomorrow.

Tian Xinhua tirelessly stirred the cooked sorghum with a wooden stick to make the cooked sorghum dissipate heat faster, while Tian Sisi lit a fire. Fortunately, she had lived in the countryside for a period of time in her previous life, so she could still use this kind of earthen stove. The dancing firelight illuminated her tender white face, like red clouds. Tian Xinhua happened to look up and saw Tian Sisi's side face, which was brightly red, and he couldn't help but be startled.

The male classmates in his previous class were all very envious of him, saying that he had a beautiful and fashionable cousin, but he always scoffed at her. How could she be so good-looking? Isn't she just a little yellow-haired girl? But just now, he realized that the little yellow-haired girl following him had really grown up and became so beautiful!

Tian Xinhua shook his head, smiled, and used all his strength to continue stirring. No matter how much he grew up, grandma was still the crying little girl, the same grandma who gave him the chicken legs and ate the chicken feet herself.

Because the two of them worked during the day, there were no adults at home. Therefore, when Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi steamed the first vat of wine, only the old man and Mrs. Zhao knew about it, and the others were the little guys from Donghua. The little guys had a lot of coke these days, and there was delicious food every day, so it was never the same.

Tian Sisi poured two small glasses of amber-colored Toudao wine and handed them to the old man and Mrs. Zhao, looking at them with a smile. The old man took a sip first, thought about it, nodded with a smile, "Not bad, it's better than what the wine master makes."

The wine master the old man was talking about was not from Yuequan Village, but lived in the town. His surname was Wang. Every year after the sorghum harvest, he would come to each village. Anyone who wanted to make wine would ask him to come and make wine. He would provide three meals and snacks at night. In addition, he would be paid two yuan a day, and the wine master would bring the wine and medicine to the door. The wine that the old man drank before was made by this wine master named Wang.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't wait to take a sip. She smacked her lips and said, "It seems quite strong."

The old lady doesn't know what kind of wine is good. She only knows that this wine is quite strong in her mouth, but it doesn't wash her throat like other soju. She still feels quite comfortable after drinking it. The old man snatched the wine from her hand and said, "Come on, with your taste, don't waste this good wine."

Tian Xinhua himself poured a small cup and drank it in one gulp. As soon as the wine entered his throat, his eyes lit up. If the wine couldn't be sold, his name would be written upside down (the problem is, wouldn't it still be Tian if your name was written upside down?). Excited Tian Xinhua picked up Tian Sisi and kissed her twice on the face like he did when he was a child.

"Auntie, we are going to make a lot of money, haha!"

Tian Sisi wiped the saliva from her face in disgust and cursed angrily: "Tian Xinhua, you are disgusting, your saliva is all over my face."

Tian Xinhua just smiled, and looking at Tian Sisi's eyes wide open, he smiled even more happily.
