Chapter 133: The Wedding Feast
Jiang Xi had learned from Steward Shen before that all the wine used by the Shen family at today's banquet was their home-brewed wine.
In the backyard, there are a total of five jars of high-strength wines, and the rest are almost all low-strength wines. As for the outer courtyard, in addition to these two wines, sorghum wine was also added to it.
Jiang Xi came over today, not to make friends with the daughters of these outsiders, but to see how the Shen family's advertisement for their family was.
Walking around the garden, watching the girls and mother-in-law in the courtyard come and go, sometimes holding her family's wine, Jiang Xi's face gradually piled up a smile.
"Lotus seeds, after today, our wine will not be sold."
Lianzi has been following Jiangxi for a long time, and has learned a lot of things, and when she heard this, she said with a smile: "The girl is right, they will drink the Shen family's wine, and they will inevitably ask the source, and there will be no shortage of people who come to our house to buy wine when the time comes." ”
"The bride is here!" A small child suddenly ran in and cried out for joy.
As soon as his words fell, the sound of firecrackers came from the door.
"Let's go out and have a look." Jiang Xi pulled the lotus seed, she had never seen the ancient marriage, fresh and curious.
Lianzi grinned, she had long wanted to go out and have a look. I heard that these big families marrying daughters-in-law are very lively, but she hasn't seen it yet.
The two walked out hand in hand, and happened to see the groom open the sedan door to welcome the bride down.
As soon as the firecrackers were finished, everyone quietly poked out their heads, waiting for the beauties inside to be brought out, and the nervous appearance seemed as if everyone had become grooms at this moment.
"Wow!" With the admiration of the child, the bride's red wedding dress was revealed, and then the bride with a red hijab walked out, and her slender figure was a big beauty at a glance.
Suddenly, a child of four or five years old ran towards the bride and pulled up the hem of her skirt, revealing a pair of small feet.
"This foot is so delicate!"
"Look at how handsome these feet are, they must be a handsome girl."
"The girl of the Chen family is really good, just look at the little feet."
A lot of words of admiration, as if they didn't want money, came out of the mouths of the mothers-in-law standing at the door.
The bride shook the red in her hand slightly, showing a little shyness of her little daughter's family. She didn't have any sense of blame for the child's behavior, and weddings in this era almost have to go through such a scene, the purpose is to let people see her little feet, which is also the style of some people in the county.
Jiang Xi and Lianzi also grinned, which was quite interesting.
On the side of the worship hall, Jiangxi and Lianzi couldn't squeeze out, and they couldn't see it, so they could only retreat in disdain.
As soon as he retreated, he met Shen Qingyun and the three girls of the Chen family before.
"Yo! Do you want to go in? The three girls of the Chen family glanced at them, "I don't look at my identity, no one wants to go in to see my sister's visit." ”
Shen Qingyun pulled the third girl of the Chen family slightly: "Shutong, Miss Jiang is also my friend, you better say a few words." ”
The Chen family is not as good as the Shen family, Chen Shutong snorted: "For Qingyun's sake today, I will spare you, don't let me see you again!" ”
After speaking, Chen Shutong pulled Shen Qingyun and squeezed into the inner hall.
Lianzi pouted dissatisfiedly: "Girl, that Miss Chen San is really unreasonable, we didn't offend her, but she made trouble for us three or four times, and now she said that she spared us, if people who don't know sound like this, they still think that we have done something to be sorry for her." ”
Jiang Xi shook his head and asked Lianzi to stop talking. There are many people here, and the third girl of the Chen family is an unreasonable person, and it is useless to theorize with her. If someone with a broken mouth reaches her ears, maybe she will come out to make trouble again.
The Jiang family is still too weak to offend people on this happy day.
After the bride and groom visit the church, the wedding feast is set out.
Jiangxi sat down with a few girls in the town, and the third girl Chen, as the younger sister of the woman, naturally went to the table.
Shen Qingyun was still busy greeting, and after seeing Jiangxi, he deliberately came over and said a few words to her not to meet the third girl of the Chen family, and asked her to help greet the guests at this table.
During the banquet, a girl came over and opened the wine jar, and as soon as the jar was opened, the mellow smell of the wine suddenly came out.
"Wow, it smells so good, what is this?"
The royal girl in the town pointed to the wine jar, and her eyes lit up.
This taste is like wine but not like wine, with the fragrance of fruit and the intoxicating aroma of wine.
"Isn't this the monkey wine in the mountains?"
She is good at wine, and I have heard people say that there are monkeys in the mountains who will make that kind of fruit wine, and the taste is very good. When I smell this smell today, the first thing that comes to mind is monkey wine.
Hearing this, Jiang Xi chuckled.
The girl from the Wang family glanced at her and asked with a little surprise, "Miss Jiang, didn't I say something wrong?" Isn't this the wine you produce? ”
Jiang Xi was no longer hidden, and said: "Exactly, this is a wine that is not strong, and it is the most suitable for women to drink." There is also a part of the wine that smells bigger, and I heard that it is only available in the front yard today. ”
"I see, if I have the chance, I would like to taste the strong wine. By the way, Miss Jiang, do you still have those wines for sale at home? Our royal family wants to buy some. ”
Jiang Xi was a little surprised, thinking that their family's wine business would come after this wedding banquet. Unexpectedly, this girl from the Wang family was in such a hurry, and she was in a hurry to say that she wanted to buy it when she was eating wine.
When business comes to the door, she naturally won't push it back.
"Of course there is, this year the family has brewed a lot, and now, there are probably more than 300 catties, you see how much you need, I will let someone pack it for you when I go back."
Their family brewed more than 700 catties in the first batch this year, the Shen family asked for more than 200 catties here, and their own store also took more than 200 catties, and now there are indeed only about 300 catties left to sell.
There are only more than 300 catties left, the girl of the Wang family thought, fortunately she said it early, if it was a little later, maybe there would not be much wine.
She heard that the Jiang family only brewed three batches of wine this year, the third batch of wine for their own use, and the second batch of wine was set by Shen Yuanwai, and it is estimated that there is not much left, and these three hundred catties may be the only wine that the Jiang family can sell.
"Then you can leave me about 180 catties, I heard, you still set the price last year, right?"
Jiang Xi nodded: "Indeed, this kind of wine is still priced last year, twenty wen a catty, but that kind of strong wine is twice as expensive, it costs forty wen a catty." ”
"Then how many of your three hundred catties are spirits, and how many catties are ordinary wine."
"Among them, there are only 100 catties of spirits, and this year there is not much brewed in the first place, and with the Shen family buying some, there are only so many left."
"Good! Then bring me fifty pounds of spirits and one hundred and thirty pounds of ordinary wine. ”
The girl of the Wang family thought that she had not tasted that kind of liquor yet, and she did not dare to buy more at one time. But she didn't dare to buy just a little, after all, there were only so many supplies, and if she missed it, she might not be able to buy it again this year.
As soon as the Wang girl's voice fell, a girl sitting next to her was also anxious.
"No, Wang Yan, your family has bought so much wine, how much is left of the Jiang family, and how should we divide it. No way! I also want fifty pounds, Jiangxi, you must help me stay! ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone else also said that they wanted this wine, and for a while, the more than 300 catties of the Jiangxi family were not enough.
When they were all finished, Jiang Xi finally took advantage of the gap to speak.
"Wait a minute, there are three people in our family who have come to the feast, and even if I want to leave it to you, it will be because my mother and my grandfather have not agreed to sell it to anyone else. Wait a minute, I'll send someone to ask. ”
After speaking, Jiang Xi beckoned to Lianzi, and Lianzi immediately walked over.
Attached to the lotus seed whispered in his ear: "You go to my mother and my grandfather to ask if they have promised other families to sell wine, and by the way, tell them that I have promised the Wang family." ”
Lianzi trotted away and came back in a short time.
"Girl, Madame has not agreed to the sale, let me tell you, the rest of the wine is up to you, girl. As for the old man's side, it seems that the Shen family said that there was not enough wine today, so they asked people to fetch fifty catties of ordinary wine, and the rest was all decided by the girl. ”
Jiang Xi bowed slightly, "Okay, I know, you follow those girls and sisters-in-law to go over and eat something together, you don't have to guard here." ”
After she finished talking to Lianzi, as soon as she turned her head, she heard the sighs of those girls, and only the girl of the Wang family was smiling.
"It's still my wit that I made up my mind early, and now you only have seventy pounds. That's it, I'll let ten catties of spirits and forty catties of ordinary wine come out. For the rest, I won't let it go again, don't beat my mind. ”
The smiles on the faces of those girls bloomed again, and they hurriedly grabbed the arm of the girl of the Wang family and said, "Good sister, you can be regarded as solving our urgent needs, who of us can be so ignorant and uninteresting, and come to fight your idea again." ”
Three hundred catties of wine became two hundred and fifty catties, and it was still distributed as before, but the Wang family was less.
One hundred catties of spirits and one hundred and fifty catties of ordinary liquor, a total of seven taels of silver, plus these sold to the Shen family, are also seven taels of silver, calculated down, the first batch of liquor brewed by their family was sold for fourteen taels, which is almost comparable to the harvest of more than 20 acres of land in one season.
You must know that these are still excluding the 200 catties that their family transported to the county town to sell.
This is only the first batch of wine, and there will be a second and third batch after that, and the second batch will probably produce about 1,500 catties, of which 500 catties of spirits and 1,000 catties of ordinary wine, the Shen family has already ordered them all, and that is forty taels of silver.
After that, there will be a third batch, and if it sells well, maybe a fourth batch will be produced, and this year maybe you will be able to earn a hundred taels of silver from selling wine, and then you will be able to buy a carriage.
The more Jiang Xi thought about it, the happier he became.
