He Xii went through the several steps of wine-making with Xiaofeng, who showed great interest and imdiately got started.
Fortunately, there were so leftover wine cakes at ho and so glutinous rice too. Xiaofeng wanted to do it herself, so cleaning up so household items was all it took.
Soaking the glutinous rice, steaming the rice, adding the wine cake, several steps later, and half a day had already passed.
"It slls so good." Xiaonian’s nose twitched, "Glutinous rice is also delicious."
Mixed with sugar, the glutinous rice also had a unique flavor, which she had never known about before. She didn’t realize that glutinous rice could be eaten this way.
Mixing it directly with sugar made it delicious, leaving a sweet taste that made you want more.
Xiaoyan also subconsciously licked his lips, realizing that the simpler things are, the tastier they get.
"Look at you two kids from the city, everything tastes good to you. If people didn’t know any better, they might think you’d suffered in the Imperial Capital. Little do they know, you’ve had too many sweet days, and now everything here seems delicious to you."
"It really is delicious, I’ve never had it before," Xiaonian genuinely found it tasty, she wasn’t pretending.
Xiaofeng had already hidden the wine away, just waiting for a few days to let it mature, and when the taste was about right, she could start drawing the liquor.
To draw the liquor ant to separate the fernted glutinous rice from the alcohol liquid, using a special wine container.
At this point, the liquor was just one step away from being distilled.
Once distilled, the delicious wine would be ready.
"When the liquor is ready, you’ll have already gone to the Imperial Capital. You’re talking about wanting to taste it, we’ll have the truck bring it to you." The liquor would be ready in ten days to half a month, and by then, Xiaofeng would definitely be back in the Imperial Capital.
"That would be great, the truck cos to the Imperial Capital every couple of days anyway, very convenient. I’ve been away from ho for so many days, I really miss the boy and girl twins at ho." Since the twins were born, this was the longest she had been away from them.
"You’re missing them after just these few days, but spare a thought for , I can’t even see them." She had taken care of the boy and girl twins for so long, and it was impossible for her not to miss them.
"I think Big Brother and Wu Wenli still have a chance together, as long as they develop normally, the idea of you becoming a grandmother isn’t far off."
"The girl is not bad, but I’m not sure what your brother really thinks in his heart, whether he is still thinking about that person." She ca to understand that her lot in life was to worry.
She used to worry about Pengzi being foolish and not being able to find a wife. Now that Pengzi was better, she feared his standards were too high, and he would neither like this one nor that one, hence unable to find a wife.
"Mom, my brother is not a kid anymore. He definitely knows what he wants and what kind of woman he should marry. If he didn’t want to develop a relationship with Wu Wenli, he wouldn’t have said he’d send her ho when we ca back."
"As long as he knows what’s in his heart, I just worry that he might be fixating on sothing he shouldn’t. To be honest, if that person hadn’t put on such a good act, I would have really liked her." Little did she know that the person was not an orphan at all but was there to inquire about Xiaofeng’s whereabouts.
"Mom, you should avoid saying things like that in the future. If soone with intentions hears it and spreads it around, what would Wenli think if she heard it?"
"I was just speaking casually, how could I really an it?" He Xii just made an offhand remark, knowing what mattered more and what mattered less.
The day to light the fire ca quickly.
Since Guaizi was now considered a person of status in the village, there were quite a few people who ca to join the banquet on the day of the lighting.
"Guaizi, you’re fortunate. Xiaofeng is a daughter from a big family in the Imperial Capital, and now you can live a carefree life in your later years, how wonderful."
"Yeah, look at your family now, your fortunes have sped up like a car. Your days have improved, rember to take more care of us later on."
All sorts of flattering words made the old man quite accustod to hearing them.
In his eyes, he was still the sa person from Lihua Village. It was Xiaofeng and Pengzi who were capable, not him.
Being put on such a high pedestal made him quite uncomfortable.
Su Xiaotao, who was locked in her room by her parents and not allowed to leave, saw the lively scene outside and her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
It seed she rembered sothing.
It was because of that woman nad Su Xiaofeng that she had ended up in her current situation, it was her who caused her downfall.
Through the window, she watched the people outside, her consciousness gradually clearing.
Hu Xiulan brought in a bowl of rice, carelessly tossing it on a small table in the room. Noticing Su Xiaotao looking outside, her tone was sowhat harsh, "Look how foolish you were back then. If it hadn’t been for your attempt to match her with Liu An, she might not have t Ye Cheng. Without eting Ye Cheng, let alone revealing her family background, even getting married would have been a challenge, and she wouldn’t be as glorious as she is now."
