Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s-Chapter 22 - 0 Brewing

Upstairs, Tian Xinhua and the two others had their mouths wide open, unable to believe that the imposing man downstairs was actually their doughy eldest brother, Tian Qinghua. Tian Qinghua exclaimed, "Wow! Big brother is so majestic. That's the way to do it, smack them if they don't obey, a filial son comes from the rod."

Tian Xinhua smacked his younger brother on the head, "Is your sister-in-law your brother's son? This is why I told you to study properly!"

Tian Shouhua sighed deeply and said with an emotional tone, "The sleeping lion has finally awakened, the days to come will surely be more splendid!"

Tian Xinhua rolled his eyes, shuddering from the goosebumps on his body, and stood up to go back to his room to sleep. From the looks of it, Zhu Qingping definitely won't be going back to her parents' house, alas, she dodged a bullet!

Downstairs, a mighty Tian Jinhua seemed like a balloon that had been pricked, his courage deflating just as quickly. After hitting Zhu Qingping, he dropped his hands and reverted to his usual wooden self, which was frustrating to see. However, Tian Bajin knew that you couldn't swallow hot buns in one gulp – Jinhua's character couldn't be changed overnight either, alas, slowly but surely, at least there was progress.

"Alright, Grandfather will trust you this time. You manage your own wife, and if Zhu Qingping makes another mistake, I will only hold you accountable," said Tian Bajin before he returned to his room, knowing that his brother would surely come to talk to him tomorrow, so he needed to get to bed early.

Zhu Qingping was overjoyed and looked at Tian Jinhua gratefully. She harbored no resentment towards her husband for the two slaps; instead, she felt that Tian Jinhua exuded masculinity in that moment. She had always complained about Jinhua being too submissive, but now it seemed Jinhua was just yielding to her! She resolved to live well with Jinhua from now on and take good care of him.

After that, Zhu Qingping truly made many improvements. Although minor problems still existed, her attitude towards Tian Jinhua had changed drastically. She no longer yelled and screamed as before, to the amazement of Tian Sisi and others. Tian Jinhua himself hadn't expected his two slaps to have such a significant effect. If he had known, would he have waited till now?

Tian Sisi had no idea that her fall had triggered a family transformation at Bajin's house. She was still busy inside Space! She had to prepare some wild rabbits and chickens, along with some eggs and fruits, starting with these simple items. As time went by, she planned to gradually bring out other food supplies like grains and oils. By then, she would pin it all on the white ape, which should work without major issues.

In reality, Tian Sisi was oversimplifying matters. She was fortunate, as Old Man Tian had cleaned up after her, and Granny Zhao, Tian Mantong, and Zhu Aiqing genuinely cherished her, allowing Tian Sisi to be without worries. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, Tian Sisi could have been hurt.

Last time, Tian Sisi had just climbed to the foot of the mountain before she ventured out, but this time, she intended to climb to the summit. Although the snakes made her legs wobbly, she bravely continued upwards. Along the way, Tian Sisi saw many wild vegetables and herbs that she recognized from the illustrations in her notebook, all used for brewing medicinal wine.

To her surprise, there was even a tiger on the mountain. When Tian Sisi saw the vividly striped tiger, she nearly fainted from fear. Fortunately, she quickly remembered that the animals in Space wouldn't attack their owner, allowing her to timidly bypass the tiger and keep climbing. The mountain wasn't too high, though it was slightly taller than Yuequan Mountain. Panting, Tian Sisi reached the summit and looked down to find the other side enveloped in white fog, obscuring her view.

It was probably a barrier of the Space. Tian Sisi didn't think too much about it; she rested at the summit for a while and then descended. While descending, she casually caught five or six plump wild rabbits, threading them onto a vine to make a string of rabbits. Catching animals in the Space was easy; they stood motionless. After contemplating a bit, she also caught two wild chickens. She spotted other animals like roe deer, deer, and wild boars, all standing there dumbly waiting to be caught, but Tian Sisi decided to start with the smaller game and deal with the larger ones later.

After everything was prepared, Tian Sisi thought of her money-making plan, but didn't know what to do next. To make money, she definitely needed to sell something. Since selling openly was not an option, she would have to do it secretly. After all, her uncle had bought many things from the black market. But at her current age, Old Man Tian and Granny Zhao would definitely not agree to let her go out and sell things.

She couldn't do it, but her uncle could. Tian Sisi's eyes lit up. As long as she gave the goods to her uncle, he would surely help her sell them. Later, she could give him a share of the proceeds. But what should she sell? She definitely couldn't take items from the store to sell, so she would have to make something herself.

The first thing Tian Sisi thought of was brewing. It was the only thing she could do. Although she didn't understand brewing, at least she had recipes and materials. After a few tries, she believed she could successfully brew something. Besides, the notes didn't make it seem too difficult; she was very confident in this.

No sooner said than done, Tian Sisi took out about ten kilos of glutinous rice from the store. The Space-produced glutinous rice was unhusked and unusable. Although the quality of the store's glutinous rice was a bit inferior, it was just right for experimentation. Tian Sisi took out her notes, prepared to brew the simplest rice wine. Following the steps recorded in her notes, she washed the rice and soaked it in water for half a day, rinsing it clean.

Space itself had a brewing workshop with all the necessary equipment, including a large wood stove that burned wheat and rice straws from outside. The residual ash could also be used to fertilize the fields. Tian Sisi brought back several large bundles of wheat straw from outside, lit a fire, and began to steam the glutinous rice.

First, she put water in the steaming pot and laid a cloth on the steaming rack. Once the water boiled and produced steam, she added the soaked rice on the cloth to cook it. According to the notes, she steamed it for half an hour, which was one hour. After an hour, she tasted the rice; it was perfectly soft yet firm, just right for brewing.

Tian Sisi poured the steamed rice into a fermentation jar. The notes stated to use one wine yeast for every ten kilos of rice. After the glutinous rice cooled, she broke the wine yeast. Inside was a light red pulp. She poured the pulp into the glutinous rice, stirred evenly with a clean spoon, then pressed the rice down tightly, digging a hole in the center for the liquid to collect. She covered it with a lid and sealed it well. The initial preparation was complete; in two or three days, the wine should start to emerge. The longer it sat, the stronger the flavor would be.

Tian Sisi clapped her hands and rubbed her back—her small body was not used to such labor. She needed to exercise more in the future. She looked at the fermentation jar on the ground with satisfaction. If this batch was successful, she could start brewing outside. Grain-based brewing was too conspicuous, so she'd brew fruit wine instead. There were plenty of wild fruits on the mountains. Once successful, she could have her uncle sell it. Then, she could buy a camera. Oh, the future looked bright!

After completing her work, a content Tian Sisi took a bath and then went out of Space to sleep. She had a dreamless night. In the morning, Granny Zhao finished preparing breakfast and went upstairs to call her granddaughter. Seeing Tian Sisi sleeping like a pig, she didn't have the heart to wake her and left quietly instead.

Outside, Old Man Tian saw his wife come out alone, and with a knowing smile, asked, "Is Ah Nan still asleep?"

"Yes, she's sleeping like a pig, so I didn't wake her. I'll leave some breakfast warm for Ah Nan, so she can eat when she wakes up."

Zhu Aiqing didn't say much in response. Whatever she proposed at home lacked support anyway. Today, the village needed to start work. The Jingzhe was nearly here, and the beginning of spring was crucial as it affected the villagers' food supply for the entire year. As the women's leader of Yuequan Village, Zhu Aiqing had to organize the women's work properly to avoid slowing down the village's production.

While Granny Zhao and others were still having breakfast, Tian Xinhua and his two brothers arrived. Granny Zhao hurried to the kitchen and brought out three bowls of rice. Since it was a work day in the village, she had made a full pot of dry rice. Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua declined as they had already eaten at home, but Tian Qinghua, standing next to them, couldn't help but swallow loudly.
