Chapter 27: The Aromatic Peach Blossom Brew (2)

Such a beautiful fragrance makes everyone unconsciously twitch their noses.

"What does it smell like, so fragrant?" Yang came out of the house and stared at a large jar in front of Du Wulang, which seemed to be wine sent by his aunt.

Du Jiumei pointed and said, "Mother, I made a peach blossom brew!" "Du Wulang knows the whole story, so she is not ready to hide it, so everyone gradually accepts the fact that she can make wine.

Yang was surprised and asked, "Peach blossom brewing?" She is an adult, so she doesn't believe that Du Jiumei can make wine.

"Yes, mother, this is the half jar of wine left over from the day of the warm pot, and I put sugar and peach blossoms in it, and it becomes peach blossom brew." Du Jiumei hurriedly explained that as for her mother's next questions, she had already thought of many reasons.

Sure enough, Yang was surprised again, and didn't understand how the youngest daughter knew about peach blossom brewing? After all, it was something that only the rich could afford, and the poor had never seen it at all.

The peach blossoms are very beautiful and fragrant, and the wine is naturally very wonderful.

The reason why she knew was also because she heard from Aunt An of the skillful workshop that this kind of peach blossom brew is very expensive, and there are five taels of silver in a jar of two catties, and the gold is very expensive.

"Xiao Jiu'er, how can you brew peach blossoms?" Yang was surprised, Xiao Jiu'er was only eight years old, and she had never had the opportunity to contact these things.

Du Jiumei was confident and said: "Mother, I heard from those sellers that the women of rich and noble families like to drink peach blossom stuffed, which is sweet and fragrant." Some time ago, the starling folded a few peach blossoms, and I put some in the wine jar, and there was some sugar at home, which I also put in, so that it could be fragrant and sweet. ”

As soon as Yang heard this, Du Jiumei moved the wine and sugar at home without her permission, and her face sank, and she was about to reprimand Du Jiumei.

Du Wulang saw that his mother was angry, and said: "Mother, I asked Xiao Jiu'er to do this, if you want to be angry, hit me." Du Wulang protected Du Jiumei and didn't let her mother beat Xiao Jiu'er.

Seeing his son protecting his daughter, Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Tell me what you are going to do in the future, don't waste things then, it's a pity." "Hey, it's not about money, the family is not rich, so there can't be any waste.

Du Qimei saw that her mother was relieved, and hurriedly said: "Mother, this peach blossom is so fragrant, since it is all done, it is better to pour it out and taste it." ”

Although the Yang family is not good at wine, when he smelled such a fragrant peach blossom brew, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay, let's try Xiao Jiu'er's craftsmanship." ”

There is no problem with the wine, just peach petals and sugar are put in it, so there is no problem with this half jar of peach blossom brewing.

While eating, Yang held the jar and poured out some, mixed with the peach petals that had changed color, and poured them into a white coarse porcelain bowl.

The color of the wine is very beautiful peach, and it lives up to the beautiful name of Peach Blossom Brew, not only has the fragrance of peach blossoms, but also the color of the wine is pink.

This liquor is not as thin as ordinary liquor, but has an extra sticky feeling. If it can be prevented for a longer period of time, the viscosity will increase and it will have a more textured texture.

Yang took out the peach petals inside, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and immediately left a fragrant fragrance in his lips and teeth, sweet in his throat, and an endless aftertaste, which was much better than ordinary spicy wine.

Du Balang swallowed his saliva and asked eagerly, "Mother, is it delicious?" ”

Yang took another sip, this wine was the best thing she had ever drunk in her life, gave the bowl to Du Balang, and said, "It's delicious, but after all, it's wine, so you can only drink one sip." ”

Although Du Balang was naughty, in front of his mother Yang, he never dared to make a mistake, took the bowl, and took a big sip.

Hehe, my mother said to take a sip, but she didn't say whether it was a big sip or a small sip. Du Balang took advantage of this loophole and was proud, but it was so delicious that he accidentally swallowed it all, and wanted to continue to taste it, but there was no more in his mouth.

"Xiao Jiu'er, you take a sip." Yang explained that the child is small and cannot be greedy.

Du Jiumei was as good as flowing, took a sip, closed her eyes and savored it carefully, the familiar taste, the familiar feeling, as if she had returned to her previous life.

"It's delicious." Du Jiumei praised and handed it to the sister on the side, "Seventh sister, you can also taste it." ”

Du Qimei had wanted to take a sip for a long time, but it was not good to fight with her younger brothers and sisters, so she smiled and said, "Five, you can taste it first." ”

Du Wulang shook his head and said, "I'm my brother, how can I fight with my sister, it's better for you to go first." "Du Goro is a boy, he prefers such things as wine, and when he was a child, he didn't understand why those adults enjoyed their expressions so much when they drank, but as he got older, he began to understand the taste of wine.

Seeing her brother like this, Du Qimei took the bowl and took a sip, her eyes lit up, sweet and spicy filled her mouth, and suddenly there were two more red clouds on her slightly yellow face.

"So the wine is so delicious." Du Qimei couldn't believe it, I used to see my grandfather and uncles drinking, and the smell was very bad, very spicy, and not sweet at all.

Seeing this, Du Jiumei smiled and said: "Seventh sister, ordinary wine is spicy, of course it is not delicious, but there are peach blossoms and sugar here, of course it is delicious." ”

Du Wulang took the wine bowl in his sister's hand, and it was indeed better than the wine he drank that day in the warm pot. Now that Du Wulang is young, when he grows up, he will feel that the spicy wine is still the wine that men drink.

"Mother, this wine is suitable for women to drink, you can drink a little every day in the future, sleep well, and you can also beautify your face." Du Jiumei said with a smile, it is just right to drink some wine at the age of her mother, which can not only beautify, but also help sleep.

The Yang family is an adult, the head of the family, thinking more, shaking his head and saying: "I just go to the county seat tomorrow, give this wine to Aunt An, thank her." ”

Du Jiumei's eyes lit up, and she hoped that my aunt was a knowledgeable person, so she suggested: "Mother, this jar is not good-looking, and we have a smaller wine jar at home." Also, there is slag in this wine, find a gauze to filter it, and give it a better gift. ”

Yang thought so, and touched Du Jiumei's head: "Our little Jiu'er is smart, while the peach blossoms have not fallen, get some peach blossoms and go home to make some peach blossom brew." Tomorrow when we go to the county seat, we will buy two jars of wine and put them at home. Even if you don't drink it, save it up so that when you get married, your daughter-in-law may use it as a dowry and a dowry. ”

There is indeed this custom in the local area, and the rich people will bury eighteen jars of wine as soon as the child is born, and dig it out on the day of marriage, as a dowry, or a dowry, which is a very decent thing.

The upper class is popular, and the ordinary people below also have a model, even if they have no money to spare, they will buy a few jars of wine and bury them, and dig them out in three or two years.
