Chapter 84 Mid-Autumn Osmanthus Wine

The next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a big festival. It just so happens that all kinds of fruits and vegetables are ripe, and the wheat and rice have entered the warehouse. People feel comfortable and smile on their faces, and they want to celebrate with a family reunion.

Lily originally planned to make mooncakes by herself, but after thinking about it, she didn’t have a mooncake mold at home, or an oven, so she couldn’t make it. She bought some mooncakes at the grocery store in the town to give away, but Wang Xiaofu came from the city to eat them. brought back.

Wang Xiaofu went to the city for a trip during the festival, not only brought back a lot of moon cakes, but also more than a dozen jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and shared one jar with his brothers and his family, and sold the rest at a price, making a lot of money .

The mooncakes in the grocery store in the town are simple to make. The molds are only "Fu" and peony flowers, and the fillings are only brown sugar and sesame.

What Wang Xiaofu brought back was a new pattern in the city, not to mention anything else, he was very particular about the skin, there were printed patterns of the full moon, some printed patterns of good harvests, and there were also blessings and longevity, continuous melons, and immediate seals. Waiting for various patterns, it is festive to look at.

What's more, the stuffing is not only brown sugar and sesame, but also peanuts and sunflower seeds. One bite, the skin is crisp and loose, and the filling is full and sweet.There were two or three moon cakes stuffed with meat from the south, which surprised people for a while.

Lily was taken aback when she ate peanuts and sunflower seeds, "What is this?"

Wang Xiaofu said with a smile: "They are all new varieties promoted by the imperial court these years. This one is called peanuts, and this one is called sunflower seeds. They are all delicious."

Lily thought it was a blessing to be able to have corn and sweet potatoes, but now that Wang Xiaofu told her, she knew that the imperial court had been vigorously promoting these foreign ingredients. Will it be far from Chili?"

Bai He hurriedly said to Wang Xiaofu: "If you see these seeds in the future, remember to bring me some, sister-in-law will remember you well."

Wang Xiaofu patted his chest and promised: "Definitely!"

Seeing his daughter-in-law's eyes sparkling with excitement, Song Haonian knew that she must have a new idea, even though he didn't quite understand it, he said with a smile: "It's next year's business to have seeds again, let's put those things aside first. Just look at you man."

Lily was in a great mood, and according to Yan, she looked around at him, and said, "I'm such a good-looking man, he's as handsome as a god."

The women in the town said that the most handsome man was Erlang God in the Erlang Temple, and Baihe said that the statue of Erlang God was majestic and dignified, but in terms of handsomeness, it was not as good as her husband.

Song Haonian blushed, turned to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus wine: "I don't know if this year's wine is good, let's try it first."

The sweet-scented osmanthus wine is only a small jar, about half a catty. Once the mud seal is opened and the red cloth is picked up, the rich scent of sweet-scented osmanthus floats out.

There are the most willow trees in Qingliu Town, and there are also peaches and apricots, but there are few sweet-scented osmanthus trees, Mr. Liu's family planted some, and there are a few wild trees here and there.Lily used to cook sweet-scented osmanthus and mung bean soup, and the sweet-scented osmanthus she used was bought from a pharmacy, which shows that sweet-scented osmanthus is rare in the town.

The wild osmanthus trees were in full bloom recently. She shook off the golden and fragrant osmanthus flowers. After taking them home to dry, the color was no longer beautiful, but the fragrance was still strong. They wrapped them in oiled paper and sealed them in jars. They will be used as sachets and pastries in the future. All excellent.

Liquor such as osmanthus wine and chrysanthemum wine cannot be mixed with white wine, which has a strong taste and does not harmonize with the fragrance of flowers.Osmanthus wine is best brewed with glutinous rice. After adding osmanthus and rock sugar, it will be sticky and sweet. Even the elderly, women, and children can drink it.

The wine is rich in aroma, golden in color, and smells very sweet.Song Haonian took a sip and said with a smile: "It's sweet, you can drink it too."

Fermented glutinous rice is not counted, Li Da Niu has never drank alcohol, and Lily was not a good drinker in her previous life. When she graduated, she had a break-up meal in class, and she became dizzy after drinking a glass of beer. She ran back to the dormitory early to sleep, calling People laughed for days.

Knowing that she doesn't drink well, she never dared to drink during the years she worked, for fear that people would take advantage of it if she got drunk. Fortunately, she was a primary school teacher, and she didn't have many opportunities to drink.

This sweet-scented osmanthus wine looked beautiful and smelled delicious, so she was a little eager to try it, and really wanted to taste it.What's more, Song Haonian was still persuading her: "It's okay to get drunk, stay at home."

That's right, in my own home, facing my reliable husband, even if I'm drunk, he's always there.

Lily smiled and said, "I'll go get some vegetables and worship the moon when the moon comes out."

"I'll help you too." Song Haonian didn't think that the wife should do the housework alone.

Before he married a wife, he did the housework by himself. Now that he has a wife, the two of them have a division of labor. He does the heavy work, and Lily does the light work.

For example, when Lily is cooking, he chops firewood for Lily, and digs well water to wash the grapes and pomegranates. He can't let the wife do the work alone, and he just looks at it like someone who has nothing to do.

Such a person deserves not to be able to marry a wife, Song Haonian thought.

For a while, Lily fried a mung bean sprouts and fried some pork belly slices, all of which were appetizers.

Put grapes, pomegranates, moon cakes, and two dishes on the plate. Lily is skillful, and each dish is beautifully arranged. The plates they use now are not the dusty rough porcelain when Lily first arrived. Each one is white and beautiful, and it is pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Burning incense and worshiping the moon, they made a wish to the moon that the flowers would be perfect and the moon would be fuller. The two of them withdrew the incense table and ate and drank under the moonlight.

The osmanthus wine was poured into a small white porcelain cup, because it was thick, it hung slightly on the wall, Song Haonian held up the cup and touched Lily: "Daughter-in-law, marry me, thank you for your hard work."

He knew that he was poor and white back then, and Lily suffered a lot of grievances when she got married, even now, he couldn't say that Lily didn't suffer.Such a good daughter-in-law should live a good life.

Lily said in a low voice, "It won't be hard to marry you." Her face seemed to be on fire, and she thought to herself that under the moonlight he should not be able to see her blushing clearly, so she calmed down a little.

She didn't know that Song Haonian had excellent eyesight, and the moonlight shone brightly on his face, her shyness and charm fell into his eyes exactly, making him intoxicated before drinking.

The two served each other food and wine, advised each other to eat more, and chatted while eating, "Fried meatballs are delicious, how do you make them?"

"It's not just meat, there's also some tofu in it, did you eat it?"

"It's strange how soft it is."

……

In addition to the family's short-sightedness, there are also many sweet things to say. Song Haonian prides himself on being clumsy and tongue-in-cheek, so he just smiled at Lily and said: "Daughter-in-law, I don't know how to talk, but I feel that I am married to you." You are my luck."

Lily covered her hot cheeks with her hands to cool down, and said angrily, "You still say you can't speak, I think you're going to be on top of that storyteller."

This person is really, where did so many hot love words come from?
He was so good-looking, with a handsome and dignified face, but his expression was extremely serious and honest, and every sentence seemed to be spoken after careful consideration. There was no need to swear, and it was more confusing than other people's swearing. believable.

The sweet-scented osmanthus wine is sweet, but it's also on the top. Lily drank this wine for the first time, and she drank a little too much unconsciously, and she was more playful than usual. Hold his hand.

Song Haonian was startled, instead he held Lily's hand, kneading her fingers repeatedly like playing with a ball of mud.

Lily's ears were red from the heat, and she whispered, "Let go."

However, what she said was limp and lacking strength, it was not like a protest, but rather an invitation, Song Haonian would not listen, so he just smiled and pulled her away.

Lily got up and went around the table, walked up to Song Haonian, hesitated for a moment, and sat down in his arms.

It was the first time that Song Haonian saw his daughter-in-law being so enthusiastic, he was so startled that he hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling.

Lily closed her eyes, leaned her head on his shoulder, and murmured, "Why am I so dizzy?"

Song Haonian said: "I think it's because I'm drunk, blame me, you haven't drunk before, so I shouldn't drink so much for you."

"Why are you to blame?" Lily grinned, rubbing her cheek against his face, "You are so nice."

After drinking too much sweet-scented osmanthus wine, the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus is in the breath, and there is a lingering scent of wine in it, which makes people feel that this person's lips and tongue are sweet, and they should taste it.

Song Haonian hugged his daughter-in-law, there is no taboo, taste it if you want, bow your head and kiss it.

After a while, he raised his head and smacked his mouth: "It's really sweet."

Lily's face was as red as rouge, she leaned softly in his arms, but she was still awake, she covered her face in shame: "It's still outside!"

The two of them were sitting in the yard drinking, Song Haonian didn't want to eat food or drink at the moment, he just wanted to make out with his wife, coaxing her softly: "It's not outside, this is our home."

The yard is also my home.

Lily pinched him with her finger: "Rogue!"

"That's how I treat you." Song Haonian hurriedly confessed, and Baihe laughed when he heard it, "I know, if it wasn't like this, I wouldn't be able to follow you wholeheartedly."

I don't know when, the two of them stopped talking and looked at each other under the clear moonlight, as if they couldn't get enough of it, the more they watched, the happier they became, and they smirked relative to each other.

Lily put her hands on Song Haonian's chest, feeling the vibrant heart under her hands, and whispered: "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be able to live the life I am today."

"I just want to live a good life with you. Let's take care of this family together. We will have a few children in the future. When we get old, we can still bask in the sun together. Do you think it's good?"

The farmer in the country can't say the passionate words of each other, Song Haonian only feels that the prospect described by Lily is what he yearns for in his dreams, so he can't help but nod.

"Idiot, don't you know what to say to me?"

What can I say?

Song Haonian felt that his daughter-in-law would run out of good things to say in this world, and he couldn't say anything better, so he said solemnly: "Daughter-in-law, I will treat you well."

Lily giggled, "Is there more? Say a few more words."

Song Haonian thought about it, he was better at proving himself with actions than words.

"Daughter-in-law, let's give birth to a fat baby!"
