The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 260 Lidu Winery
It's no wonder that the woman thinks this way, Xuemei's dress is much better than that of ordinary maids, perhaps even better than the daughters of some small officials' families.

Xuemei nodded politely, and then said a little embarrassedly: "I came to see the wine."

Let me explain in advance, otherwise, if the wine is not good, she will have to be taken advantage of and buy a pot, wouldn't it be a loss?

The woman agreed with this: "Okay, girl, come with me, if you feel good, you can buy it."

When entering the house, Little Niach looked around very familiarly, and asked by the way: "Aunt Hua, where is Uncle?"

"Your uncle has had gout for the past two days, and today the sun is out and he went up the mountain to dig medicinal herbs." Aunt Hua opened the cellar in the house as she spoke, and suddenly, a big black hole appeared in front of people.

You can see the vertical ladder from the opening, but you can't see the bottom. Looking down from above, it's dark, like an abyss.

And there is always a feeling of a dark wind blowing from the bottom, which makes people subconsciously feel scared, and it may be that Xuemei's fear of darkness is the reason for this feeling.

"Girl, wait a moment." Aunt Hua went to fetch the oil lamp, lit it with a torch, and went down first with the oil lamp.

Then the little loach followed.

With the oil lamp, it was not dark down below. Hearing the call of the little loach, Xuemei hesitated for a while and climbed down the ladder cautiously.

Aunt Hua laughed and said, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."

When she got to the bottom, Xuemei discovered that there was a room below, and the walls and the floor were paved with stones. Aunt Hua used the oil lamp as the table, pointed to several large jars of wine and said: "This is pear blossom brew, only There are two small jars, this is grain wine, and this is peach blossom wine, and there are still half of the jars left."

Most of the wine was made from grain. When Aunt Hua opened the jar, there was a scent of wine, a smell that made people drunk.

Looking at the big jar in the cellar, Xuemei thought it would be enough for a while. Aunt Hua made some wine, and when she handed it to Xuemei, Xuemei waved her hand and said, "I don't know how to drink."

She drank white wine, but felt that her throat was hot.

Aunt Hua nodded, put down what was served, and said with a smile, "I'll give that householder a drink later."

After finishing speaking, he opened the peach blossom wine again, and said: "Girl, this peach blossom wine is good to drink, not intoxicating, you have a taste."

Xuemei took it half-believingly, and when she smelled it, she immediately felt that she was in a peach blossom forest. It smelled sweet and delicious, and it seemed to be even more delicious than Fangfeizhai's signature peach blossom cake.

Carefully took a sip, the taste is soft, not spicy, but obviously has the taste of wine, it is not as sweet and delicious as the peach blossom cake, but the aftertaste is sweet and lingering.

Immediately, I felt my eyes light up, and I smacked my lips in disbelief, then took a big sip, and exclaimed: "This wine smells so good."

"That's right, peach blossom, how can it not be fragrant." Aunt Hua said with a smile.

Xuemei looked at the jars of wine and hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Give me a small jar, I will take it back."

"Okay." Aunt Hua replied, and then began to fill the wine.

Little Niqiu leaned over and said, "I didn't lie to you, did I?" Then he said, "The pear blossom wine from Aunt Hua's house is even better than the pear blossom wine from Lidu distillery."

Upon hearing such praise, Aunt Hua felt a little embarrassed, "Nonsense!"

Xuemei also thinks it's nonsense, Lidu Winery is the largest winery in the capital, Hangzhou's famous wine, one or two wines are worth two taels of silver, which is not something ordinary people can afford.
