Bab 374: Preparations

In addition to raiding the mountains for treasure and game, Xu Zeng also raided the mountain for the seasonal fruit he was aware of. He didn't have the same amount of knowledge as his brother, but he was more of a native of Donghua and knew which local fruits were edible.

Fruits like modern grapes and the sweeter varieties of fruits like apples and certain citrus had been introduced to him in Dongmen. The garden Xu Feng started for him was very diverse but he didn't have those fruit at his disposal.

The varieties of grapes, citrus, other berries and mountain fare were far more than enough of a variety for the people of Dongzhou who hadn't tasted fruit wines or jams before.

Unlike his brother, this little brother openly and uprightly made wine and jam according to Xu Feng's method with Liu, Min, and Xu Hu Zhe as overseers and quality control, putting all the servants of Nanshan Estate to use.
