Chapter 18: Jasmine Wine

Chen Er decided to take time out of his free time to practice calligraphy, and also bought a few calligraphy books.

After writing for a morning, my hands were really numb, so I put down the notebook first and went to the yard to play with the flowers and plants.

When Gou Xuefang came over, Chen Er happened to be pruning the branches and leaves of a few jasmine plants.

"I don't know, I thought you were seventy or eighty!"

Chen Er replied without raising his head, "This is called self-cultivation, you know a fart." ”

The two entered the house together, and Chen Er moved two pots of jasmine by the way.

Gou Xuefang saw the basic calligraphy on the table at a glance, and then laughed.

"You actually practice calligraphy?"

He flipped through it casually and laughed even harder.

"It is also a kind of ability to write so ugly according to the calligraphy."

Chen Er took out a small bamboo basket and began to fold the jasmine flowers in the pot.

"Say something quickly, don't fart."

Gou Xuefang came over with a smile.

"Didn't you say last time that the Qinghua Lu clan should have something to ask you?"

Chen Er nodded, "That's what I guessed. ”

Gou Xuefang folded a jasmine flower and played with it in his hand.

"You guessed wrong this time, people can leave, I left Yanjing early yesterday morning, and I didn't leave a single fart."

Chen Er's movements in his hands were slight, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

His eyes fell on Gou Xuefang.

"Why do you pay so much attention to other little girls?"

Gou Xuefang hurriedly raised his voice, "I'm not helping you keep an eye on it!" ”

Chen Er changed the subject, "Since you're helping me keep an eye on it, do you know where they went?" ”

Gou Xue said, "Of course, they are very generous, and I think it is justifiable!" ”

"They went to Shuzhong, and they don't know what to do."

Gou Xuefang originally thought that the people of the Lu clan would return to Qinghua's hometown after leaving Yanjing, but he didn't expect them to go to Shuzhong.

It's weird.

But it has nothing to do with him, Gou Xuefang didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he stared curiously at Chen Er, who was still folding jasmine.

"What are you doing here, you want to make jasmine tea?"

Gou Xuefang has always liked the tea ceremony, so he has studied it for several years.

Seeing Chen Er folding jasmine flowers now, he naturally immediately thought of jasmine tea.

Chen Er shook his head, "No, I plan to make jasmine wine later." ”

Jasmine wine? This one is fresh.

Gou Xuefang was very interested.

"How do you make jasmine wine? Do you use jasmine directly for wine? ”

Chen Er picked up the small bamboo basket filled with jasmine flowers and walked towards the kitchen.

"I want to know, come and have a look."

Gou Xuefang hurriedly followed.

Chen Ershun placed the small bamboo basket on the table, and then took out the needle and thread, stickers, and a slender bamboo strip.

Holding a needle and thread, like sewing clothes, the jasmine flowers are threaded one by one.

Gou Xuefang was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you say that you would make jasmine wine? Why did you start needlework again? ”

"You're so virtuous."

Chen Er stared intently at the jasmine and needle and thread in his hand.

"There are two jars of wine on the floor next to the table, help me move them to the table."

Gou Xuefang hurriedly reacted and pointed at Chen Er indignantly.

"I said why are you so kind to ask me to come and see, it turns out that you want someone to help you work!"

Having said that, Gou Xuefang still bent down and brought up the two jars of wine.

Then he clapped his hands, and sniffed at the mouth of the jar.

Then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!" ”

"What wine?"

Chen Er put on a string of jasmine, threaded the needle again, and began to wear another string.

"This is my own liquor."

As soon as he heard that it was Chen Er's craftsmanship, Gou Xuefang immediately salivated.

Although he is not a greedy drinker, it is good to drink a little once in a while.

"Give it to me when the time comes!"

Chen Er readily agreed.

Gou Xuefang watched from the sidelines how Chen Er made jasmine wine.

After the jasmine flowers were all dressed, Chen Er grabbed the thin bamboo strips on the table and broke them into several small pieces directly with his hands.

Look at the size, it's almost just enough to get stuck at the mouth of the jar and not fall down.

Chen Er tied two bunches of fresh jasmine flowers to the bamboo strips and put them in the wine jar.

The bamboo cut was just stuck at the mouth of the altar, and the jasmine was hung in the wine jar.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly went over and looked into the wine jar.

I saw the jasmine hanging in the jar of wine, and the position was not up or down, just a little finger away from the wine in the jar.

"It's amazing, there is still this kind of operation?"

After Chen Er finished the two bunches of jasmine, he took out the red sticker and sealed the wine jar.

Then put the jar in the cupboard.

Gou Xuefang asked on the side, "Is this ready?" ”

Chen Er nodded, "Just wait for ten days, and after ten days, you will be able to open the seal and drink." ”

Gou Xuefang was amazed.

"Where the hell did you learn these strange methods?"

Chen Er walked out of the kitchen, followed by Gou Xuefang.

"What do you mean by a bizarre method?"

Chen Er explained, "This method of making jasmine wine comes from Feng Mengzhen's Kuaixuetang Manlu. ”

"The book says: The liquor brewed with 100 meters, white koji, and white water is less than the bottle, and the upper part is two or three inches...... Dozens of newly picked jasmine, the thread is tied to its pedicle, the bamboo is a finger away from the wine, the sticker is sealed, and the fragrance is permeable. ”

Gou Xuefang immediately hugged his fists when he heard this, "Admire and admire, I haven't even heard of this book." Looks like you've read a lot of books. ”

Then before Chen Er could react, he hurriedly added.

"Sure enough, if you are ugly, you should read more...... If we are handsome, we should never experience the joy of reading for the rest of our lives! Ay! ”

Chen Er couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"It seems that you don't want this jasmine wine."

Chen Er's tone was calmly threatening.

Gou Xuefang hurriedly shut up.

Then quickly changed the subject.

"I heard that the Treasure Pavilion is going to have a long-term cooperation with you?"

Chen Er nodded, "Yes, they have already sent someone to negotiate with me." ”

"At the end of each month, they will do the auction of the restaurant seats, and they will also help me promote it by the way. As a condition, I will not cooperate with other auction houses in the future. ”

Gou Xuefang sat down on the sofa loudly.

"Jumbo Pavilion is really good at doing business, seeing that your restaurant has a gimmick and a future, I can't wait to get started."

Gou Xuefang said enviously, "It's a pity that we don't do catering at home, and we can't do catering, otherwise I really want to cooperate with you." ”

Chen Er said, "It's good to have this idea. ”

Gou Xuefang fell into deep thought.

After more than ten days, the jasmine wine was ready.

Chen Er took one of the jars with him and went to the restaurant.

On the way, I suddenly remembered something, Dou Yitong has been gone for a long time, why hasn't he come back, and there is not even a message, it is like missing.

Chen Er called Dou Yitong, but it was actually turned off.

Could it be that something is wrong?

Chen Er remembered that Dou Yitong had said that he lived before, and Chen Er decided to go and see it after entertaining this guest.
