Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Alcohol Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Alcohol They all knew exactly how precious that at was; so many people had traded away their children just for a bite to eat, yet Uncle Qiu was willing to share his at with them!
Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu both shook their heads earnestly, indicating that it really wasn’t necessary.
“I know food is scarce and hard to co by, but I’m not one to squander it carelessly,” he said.
Seeing the children’s faces expressing worry about waste and heartache, Old Uncle Qiu went into a bit more detail: “To tell you the truth, our entire cart is full of at, and as the weather keeps getting hotter, if we don’t eat it quickly, I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep any of it.
Plus, even though there are no people on our way, there’s no shortage of wild beasts. It’ll be troubleso if they co looking for the scent of blood.
In short, just listen to Uncle Qiu, and let’s eat together. Country folks aren’t so particular.”
Old Uncle Qiu’s sincere invitation made it difficult for Bai Sasa and Bai Qiuyu to refuse again.
They were about to ask their eldest sister if she wanted to collect so mushrooms and wild vegetables as a thank-you when they turned around and saw that, at so point, their sister had crouched in front of Brother Qiu Er, eyeing his seasoning with a swallow-worthy gaze.
“…” Bai Sasa.
“…” Bai Lingyu.
The two kids exchanged a glance and, in tacit agreent, decided not to ask. They might as well just go straight to picking mushrooms with Brother Qiu San.
Even though Grandfather Qiu repeatedly emphasized that they should just sit and wait for food, the two sensible kids ran off quickly.
“It’s fine, it’s good for them to make friends with Xiao Shan,” Bai Junjun saw it as no big deal.
Pursuing Qiu San was also Xiao Shan, and now that Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu had caught up with them, it was like three children triumphantly uniting.
Old Uncle Qiu glanced at the back of his grandson and couldn’t help but pause for a mont.
Yesterday Xiao Shan had witnessed his little friend being taken away; who knows how heartbroken he must be. Making a few new friends would be good.
In this regard, it seed that Junjun had been the most thoughtful.
Old Uncle Qiu found himself growing fonder of the thoughtful Bai Junjun.
He wondered what kind of family these three children ca from, with a sister so intelligent and well-inford, a sister so strong, and a brother so innocent and kind. All of them were truly exceptional children.
Bai Junjun was oblivious to Old Uncle Qiu’s thoughts; all her attention was captured by Qiu Er.
She noticed that he had spread sothing stimulating on that piece of pork, an odd fragrance that made the greedy worm inside her stir.
Seeing the young girl staring, Qiu Er laughed sowhat bashfully.
“This is our homade sorghum liquor. It warms the body and dispels dampness in winter; in sumr, it’s used to marinate the at to remove the gay taste. It has many benefits.”
“Sorghum… liquor?” Bai Junjun repeated, her eyes flashing with a strange excitent.
In the future, all plants had mutated, and crops couldn’t grow at all, let alone using them to brew liquor.
Alcoholic beverages had reached sky-high prices in the 666th year of the apocalypse, and yet… they were priceless and unavailable.
She had heard that among the last batches of supplies she had tried to loot, there was wine from the 21st century.
As a result, people from all four major bases had set out, but, unexpectedly… they all perished for that batch of supplies.
And today, unexpectedly seeing alcohol again, she licked her lips involuntarily.
It was hard to imagine what this legendary liquor tasted like.
It was said that the drink was incomparably delicious, ancient people had written thousands of poems about wine, and later generations had developed innurable thods for wine research.
If it weren’t delicious, how could it have been passed down for hundreds of years!
Just as Bai Junjun was in a daze regarding the sorghum liquor,
Qiu Er started applying soy sauce to the at. This dark, brownish-black, viscous liquid once again captured her attention.
“What is this??”
