Volume 1: Settling Down the Tang Dynasty Chapter 226: Can¡¯t Eat and Make Wine

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the evening, it started to rain lightly outside again. At Wu Ming's house, everyone was gathering together to eat.  However, no one seems to have much appetite today.  Especially Master Qi, whose face was full of sadness.  The chopsticks were almost untouched, and I only took a sip of wine from time to time.

    Even Yaya, Gao Yang and the others knew not to make any noise at this time.  However, they were really not used to such a depressing atmosphere, so they ate in a hurry and ran to the room.

    "Little madman, you usually have many ideas. Please help everyone think about how to deal with the current situation."

    After a long time, Master Qi suddenly turned his head, looked at Li Feng, and spoke expectantly.

    "Iwhat can I do? The wheat is all soaked in water now. Even if I try to recover it by any means. But, look at the weather, there is no way to dry it in the sun. The result is still the same, it will sprout and spoil.  That¡¯s it. It¡¯s not a small amount. It can be eaten in one meal or two. This old man can actually cause problems for people.¡±

    When he heard that Master Qi was pointing the finger at him, Li Feng felt like he was about to cry.  Faced with such a situation, what can he do?

    "Yes, Brother Li, please come up with some ideas for everyone. If all this food is gone, how will we spend this year?"

    When Rou Niang heard this, she immediately followed suit.  She is a kind-hearted person, and she is also kind to the folks in her family.  Today I saw many villagers crying loudly. Rou Niang has cried several times.

    "There are two main problems now. The first one is how to recover the wheat. The other one is what to do after it is recovered. In such weather, it is impossible to dry it at all."

    Facing Master Qi¡¯s sad face and Rou Niang¡¯s somewhat red eyes.  Li Feng felt that he was in trouble again.  At this moment, I can only once again risk losing countless brain cells, start to think about my ideas from scratch, and then hope to gather the wisdom of everyone.  Come up with a practical countermeasure.

    "It's easier to harvest wheat. The rain has subsided now, and the floods have receded a lot. Over there, the terrain of the wheat field was not low, and the wheat fields that were flooded many times have now been exposed. Even if there is a small part left, it will not be hidden at all.  If you spend more time in the water, you can clean them up. Well, if it¡¯s too difficult, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t need them.¡±

    When Lao Tie heard Li Feng¡¯s question, he immediately spoke.  As long as losses can be reduced, he believes that no matter how hard it is, everyone can do it.

    "Well, that's true, but. This time, even if it is to be harvested, everyone must move quickly. After the wheat has been soaked like this, it will sprout in a few days. Therefore. Even if it is to be harvested,  When we come back, we can only collect most of them through rescue. It's too time-consuming, so forget it. It's not worthwhile to lose the watermelons."

    ????For Lao Tie.  Li Feng has no doubt that the Chinese people are the most able to endure hardships in the world.  It is this spirit that can often create many miracles.

    "That's true. Under this situation, we can no longer be as usual. It's a pity here, it's a pity there. Time waits for no one, so you can't lose big at the expense of small things."

    Master Qi stood aside and nodded in agreement.  He is very clear about everyone's usual habits, and he is reluctant to waste even a little bit.

    "Then what we have to solve is what to do with these wheats after they are recovered, and how to ensure that they do not germinate. The main reason why wheat germinates is that they contain enough moisture. What we have to do is to neutralize them.  Only in this way can the wheat be prevented from sprouting."

    "Actually, I have a solution here that is not a solution. Master Qi, look, can we just take a big pot and fry the recovered wheat?"

    There is no sun and it is still raining continuously. Natural drying will definitely not work.  If natural drying doesn't work, then you have to use other methods.  This reminded Li Feng of the wheat dryers used in modern society, which are not dried by the sun.

    "Fry it dry? Little madman, you mean fry it in a big pot. Yes, why didn't we think of that? Let me see, a big pot can fry at least thirty-four kilograms at a time. Well, it takes an hour.  , at least three or four stones of wheat can be dried, and the wheat collected that day can be packed away every day. You kid, why didn't you tell me about such a good idea earlier?"

    When Master Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he thought carefully about the feasibility of this.  Finally, he immediately complained to Li Feng very happily.

    "Yes, if you can't dry it in the sun, can you light a fire and fry it? Why can't we figure out such a simple truth?"

    Lao Tie, who was standing aside, was also stunned after hearing what Li Feng said.

    This is actually normal. It is completely a kind of inertial thinking. When people are very familiar with a certain way to solve a problem, they will habitually only go in that direction.Examination.

    "Master Qi, don't be too happy too early. Stir-frying and sun-drying are two different things. Let me tell you, if you stir-fry, some of the wheat will be cooked. In this case, this kind of wheat,  It can¡¯t be stored for long. We must get rid of this wheat as soon as possible.¡±

    When Li Feng saw how happy they were, he immediately poured a basin of cold water on them.  By sun drying, that's just dehydration.  By lighting a fire and frying in a pan, some of the wheat will be cooked directly.  Even if it's not fully cooked, it must be somewhat cooked.  Such wheat deteriorates easily and cannot be stored for too long like ordinary wheat.

    "It will be cookedwhatwhat should I do?"

    When everyone heard this, they were immediately stunned.  Isn't it? You have fried the wheat dry in life, so it must be cooked several times.  This is what troubles Li Feng very much, otherwise, he would not have been so late in coming up with this solution.  This feeling of suddenly seeing hope and then losing it immediately made everyone feel even more uncomfortable.

    "Damn it, if this wine can be used as food and satisfy hunger, I will just cook all these wheats, and then make them all into wine. I will only drink wine for three meals a day."

    After thinking about it for a while, Lao Tie felt his head hurt. Then he poured a sip of wine into his mouth and said it as if he was angry.

    "Wine-making? Lao Tie, you mean wine-making. That's right. Why didn't I think of it? We can totally exchange wine for food."

    The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lao Tie's grumbling words immediately gave Li Feng a feeling of enlightenment.  You can burn the wheat into wine, and then take it directly and exchange it for money or grain.

    "Well, this is a good idea, but it is not easy to accomplish this. The court must have issued a ban on alcohol at this time, and how to sell so much wine is also a problem. Among them  Little madman, you have to think clearly about the stakes. If things are too difficult, we should find another way."

    This is indeed a feasible method, but in this case, everything will fall on Li Feng's head. The prohibition on alcohol is no joke.  Unless you get the emperor's nod of approval, otherwise, it is simply impossible.  Although Master Qi wants to help the villagers, he can't ignore Li Feng's life or death.

    Li Feng was also stunned by Qi Ye's words.  He knew Li Shimin well. He was a typical person who would not let go of the rabbit before he saw the rabbit. It was really difficult to get him to agree to this matter.  Besides, people must be so anxious now that they are almost jumping up.

    "Master Qi, I think this is what we should do. Tomorrow morning, you will immediately organize everyone to harvest wheat. Some of it will be fried and dried, and then ground into flour. It will last for at least a month or two. The rest will last for at least a month or two.  Then cook them all and make them into wine. As for the sales problem, I will take care of it. "

    " However, Li Feng can't care so much now and directly expresses his thoughts to Master Qi.  After drying the wheat and grinding it into flour, as long as it is stored properly, it will last for a month or two without any problem.  During this period of time, Li Feng could also ask Cui Yingying to help sell the wine.

    "Old man, I'd like to trouble you. During this period, we'll work hard to get two sets of soju supplies out. At that time, we'll start working non-stop all day long."

    After talking to Master Qi, Li Feng turned around again and talked to Lao Tie.  By then, a set of wine-making equipment will definitely not be enough.

    "Okay, no problem, that thing is very simple to make as long as there is iron. When the time comes, I guarantee that it will be done well and nothing will happen."

    After hearing what Li Feng said, the old man Li Feng patted his chest and promised.  Afterwards, Qi Ye and Lao Tie ate dinner for a while and left in a hurry.  Wait, there are still many things waiting for them to arrange.

    "Fourth uncle, I will keep this matter a secret."

    After seeing everyone leave, Li Chengqian said this slowly.

    "Haha, you kid, what are you thinking about? In fact, I want you to go back. Think about it, besides using it to make wine, how else can you use up all this wheat at once? You go back  , tell your father the method we just used, maybe they can think of a better solution."

    After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Li Feng felt warm in his heart.  However, it is also more certain that he is indeed not suitable to be a prince or an emperor.

    However, Li Feng was not worried about this at all. Instead, he wanted Li Chengqian to go back and tell Li Shimin what they had just discussed.  If waste is not used, it is a complete waste.  And if Li Shimin and the others could use the good wine card, they might be able to have unexpected effects.
