Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 520 Fermented glutinous rice wine

The Guan family was naturally very lively at night, and there were two tables full of people sitting around.

As usual, men sit at the same table and women and children sit at the same table.

Aunt Wei seemed a little reserved, because she was an elder, and after sitting at the men's table with Lao Guan for a while, she still felt uncomfortable, so she moved to the women's table.

The meals on the table are all big fish and big meat. Nowadays, the days are getting better and better, white rice is served every meal, and there is no need to worry about eating brown rice and yellow noodles.

But sometimes Li Xin still makes whole grains for his family.

Guan Wen only said that she wanted to not forget the hardships, and ate a meal of coarse grains every two days to remind her family not to forget the past just because life is better now, and not to be extravagant.

Li Xin also didn't explain that it was better to eat whole grains.

The life expectancy of some rich and noble ladies is not as good as that of the old men and women in the countryside who work every day and eat coarse grains, and the difference is in this support.Coarse grain fiber helps to balance the diet. Rich people only pay attention to "fineness" and "replenishment", and forget about balance. Since the body function is not as good as that of country people who exercise enough every day and eat to maintain balance.

But when everyone gets together, they still eat at her house, and they can't make people laugh by serving coarse food.

Li Xin made a large pot of spicy fish today, with mushrooms and bamboo shoots in it, roasted konjac duck, sour radish and duck soup, stir-fried diced chicken, simmered peas, medicated chicken, and two large plates of cooked and chopped bacon and sausage.I also made some other side dishes, such as stir-fried cabbage.

Because Yang'er and Xiaokang love to drink, Li Xin also soaked mung beans mixed with water and ground them, and cooked a small pot of mung bean soup as a drink.

The men naturally toasted and drank and ate meat, while the women and children each had a bowl of mung bean soup.

The mung beans are finely ground, and it is very delicious after being mixed with white sugar. It is also warm, and it warms the heart all the way in the mouth.

Xing'er clicked her lips and said, "This one is still delicious, what's so good about their men drinking that one."

Bai Hui smiled and said, "Don't men just like to drink? But in such a cold day, it's not as comfortable as us drinking the rolling mung bean soup."

This reminded Li Xin.

Li Xin walked over to Guan Wen and said, "I'll cook the wine for you and add some fermented glutinous rice."

Guan Wen asked in surprise, "Is this delicious?"

"Try it."

There are also Maotai-flavored and Luzhou-flavored transparent wines at the moment, but the price is very high, because the production process is extremely complicated, and the alcohol content is high, so people who are greedy for drinking love to drink it.

One of the three treasures of Hui County is wine, from which Jiuzi Lane got its name, and there are many wine shops in the depths of Jiuzi Lane.

Guan Wen's cousin, Zhao Changsheng, is an apprentice in a tavern. If he does well and learns the craft, he will have a secure life in the future—even if he is an apprentice in a tavern now, his monthly salary is not enough. Not necessarily less.

Guan Wen and the others drank beige beige grain wine, which was not high in alcohol content, but it was still high if they drank too much.Especially for those who have never been exposed to liquor, it is easy to get drunk.

Li Xin went to cook a large bowl, fearing that the taste would be bad.

After cooking, Guan Wen tasted it.

"Hey, does this taste a little different?"

Guan Wen took a sip and raised his eyebrows slightly.

After hearing this, the other men present wanted to give it a try.

Each of them drank a small cup, and they all laughed and said that it was not as pungent and spicy as the wine when it was cold, but it still smelled like wine in the mouth, and there were some grains of fermented glutinous rice at the bottom of the bowl.

"If this is drinkable, I'll cook some more. It's too cold to drink cold wine on such a cold day, it hurts the stomach."

Li Xin said something with a smile, seeing Guan Wen nodding, he took the wine jar and went to cook in the stove.

He Chunsheng sighed, "Brother Guan married a virtuous wife."

"He Chunsheng, what do you mean? I'm just lazy, right?"

Immediately, Yinhuan put her hands on her hips and bulged her eyes, and said angrily, "Who told you to marry me!"

He Chunsheng smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that everyone will laugh at you and argue with me in other people's homes?"

Yinhuan snorted: "I've played a hero today, and I'm so heroic right now! Don't fall into my hands after you've had a few drinks, or I'll take you along to clean it up."

However, He Chunsheng became interested: "How did you become a hero? Come and listen to me."

"Yinhuan, what happened when you went to Yuanguang Temple today?" Guan Wu also asked curiously.

Yinhuan smiled complacently, because she wanted to say that she had left the servants of the wealthy family speechless today, even the abbot and the abbot had come forward to persuade her, and he was respectful to her. Hui gave her a hard tug.

"What's wrong?" Yinhuan blinked, not quite understanding: "It's not impossible to talk about this."

"Restrain yourself." Bai Hui said helplessly, "You're making a big splash today, so don't be unreasonable... The abbot of Yuanguang Temple and the Shen family don't know what they're thinking."

"I don't care what they think or do? Anyway, I just draw my sword to help when I see injustice!"

"Sister Yinhuan, have you drawn your sword?" A-mei opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief, "You didn't have a sword when you left."

A-mei's words made everyone laugh, Yinhuan was about to explain to A-mei, but caught a glimpse of the smile in A-mei's eyes, and immediately knew that she was teasing herself, so she couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud speak out.

Xing'er and Yinhuan talked about what happened to Yuanguang Temple for a while, and the others were fine, but Guan Wen and Guan Wu were a little thoughtful.

Their reaction was also expected by Xing'er, Xing'er paused, and said: "Afterwards, no one from the Shen family came, so we didn't stay too long. But after all, we stayed there for a while, otherwise it wouldn't be like this Come back late."

Sun Hongyan nodded and said, "It's better for us not to get involved in the affairs of the mansion gate."

Yinhuan was not happy: "I am helping others!"

"Maybe you hurt someone?"

He Chunsheng sighed helplessly: "Do you think that everyone is as straight-hearted and warm-hearted as you are? If you turn around and leave, the abbot will take the opportunity to meditate and see no outsiders. This matter will be hidden, servant girl You can restrain yourself for a while, but you can’t restrain yourself forever. On the surface, people are respectful and you can’t catch the wrong thing, but behind the scenes? Didn’t you say that some wife doesn’t make a sound?”

Yinhuan wanted to refute, but after hearing what He Chunsheng said, it seemed that he had two points of truth, so he couldn't refute, and immediately became unhappy, poking his own bowl embarrassingly.

When Li Xin came back after cooking the wine, he saw Yinhuan standing there as if angry, not knowing what was wrong with her, so he bumped into Bai Hui and asked her, "What's wrong with Yinhuan?"

Bai Hui laughed and said, "I was trained by her master."

Li Xin didn't quite believe it: "Can the head of the family train her?"

Yinhuan heard Bai Hui and Li Xin talking, and just after saying this, Xing'er burst out laughing, Yinhuan couldn't hold back anymore, and resentfully accused Bai Hui and Xing'er: "You guys But you should be on my side, why are you laughing at me now?"

"I'm not smiling." Li Xin blinked, but there was still a smile in his eyes: "I don't know what's going on."

Yinhuan snorted and drank the mung bean soup in front of him.

After a while the subject changed, and she no longer remembered the incident.

After sending the He family and the Sun family away, Li Xin drove Yang'er to sleep, and asked Guan Wu to take Xing'er and Xiaokang back to rest, saying that they would clean up the things here.

Guan Wen took the time to go to bed, and Mrs. Wei was not used to staying up late, so she went to rest early.A-mei helped wash the pots and dishes in the kitchen.

Li Xin and Guan Wen were in the main room, seeing no one else, they whispered to her: "Miss An seems to be in a bad mood."

Guan Wen frowned: "She is no longer Miss An, but the fourth wife of the Shen family."

Li Xin pursed her lips and asked him, "Did you really not hear about her in the town?"

Guan Wen shook his head: "I haven't heard any news from the Shen family. She must have gone to Yuanguang Temple to pay homage to the Buddha, and it was very quiet. Otherwise, why didn't there be any news at all?"

"That means the Shen family is also hiding the news."

Li Xin wiped the table, while Guan Wen was sweeping the floor with a broom. Hearing this, he responded lightly, then raised his head after a pause and asked Li Xin, "Did she show any special emotions when she saw you and Xing'er?"

Guan Wen frowned and said to himself: "You said she doesn't say a word... She can't be dumb, if she is not dumb, it means she doesn't want to talk..."

Li Xin thought about it carefully, then remembered a detail, and hurriedly said: "Don't tell me, she kept her head down, she probably didn't pay attention to me and Xing'er, as for whether she saw us, then I don't care." I got it. But when Yinhuan accused those servants who bullied her, she said, "Man does what he does, the sky sees, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end." She trembled all over."

Li Xin nodded and said, "That should be due to a guilty conscience, I'm afraid she is talking about herself."

"It's possible."

Guan Wen let out a breath.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Li Xin smiled and said: "You have a good drink today, don't you? Drink it at noon, and drink it at night."

Guan Wen laughed softly: "It's rare to have such an opportunity."

"It's okay to drink once in a while, but it's not okay to drink every day." Li Xin said solemnly: "And a small drink to nourish your health, a lot of damage to your body, alcohol is not a good thing, it's best not to drink it if you can."

Guan Wen replied in a low voice: "I know, you said it, I don't usually drink alcohol."

"That would be best."

"It's just that the buddies are together, don't drink, and can't find anything else to do." Guan Wen said with a smile: "Don't we all have to be at the wine table when we talk about things and chat?"

"Just make excuses."

Li Xin rolled his eyes at him, took the rag and threw it into the water, when it touched the water, Li Xin let out a "hiss".

"what happened?"

Guan Wen rushed over.

Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's okay, the water is a bit cold."

"Change to hot water when it's cold," Guan Wen said.

Li Xin nodded, went out with the wooden basin, and asked Guan Wen to clean up the ground.

After the water was poured out and hot water was added, Li Xin clenched his fists lightly.

There was still a slight pain in the palm of my hand.
