Wu Qirong cooked very quickly, and when Shu Nuan rested for a while and set out to help, the other party had already done almost the same.

Shu Nuan stood at the door of the kitchen, the rich aroma of food entering the tip of her nose, tugging at her hungry stomach, making her can't help but look inside.

"Master, is there anything I need help with?"

Wu Qirong waved the big iron spoon in his hand, and said without looking back: "Take the prepared dishes out, the tables and chairs are set up and ready to eat." ”

"Okay."

Shu Nuan happily replied.

When the two of them sat down at the big wooden table in the hall, the sun on the horizon gradually set in the west, and the setting sun shone into the room along the doorway, pulling the shadows of the two people in the room into the elders.

"Chopsticks."

After Wu Qirong greeted him, Shu Nuan smiled and nodded.

When she tasted the dishes made by the master, she couldn't help but bend her eyebrows.

And Wu Qirong gently twisted the white porcelain wine glass with his thumb, and after pondering for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "Nuan Nuan, will you make your own wine?" ”

"Winemaking?" Shu Nuan stopped his chopsticks and looked up at the other party. "I only make wine."

Just because the basic wine is the easiest to make, the simple recipe that everyone knows can be made. As for the more complex brewing methods of other liquors, they are all secrets that are not passed on by others, and naturally they will not be known to everyone.

Wu Qirong gently put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Do you want to learn? The master teaches you to make wine. ”

Shu Nuan blinked suspiciously: "Master, is it okay to make wine privately?" ”

"It's okay, drink it yourself, it doesn't matter." Wu Qirong chuckled and waved his hand, exhaling slowly. "If you want to sell sake in the future, you just need to apply for some documents. Now it is not the same as in the past, because of poverty, it was stipulated that it was not possible to use grain to make wine. ”

When Shu Nuan heard the master say this, she was naturally very happy.

She knew that she had only learned a little bit of fur from her master before, and it was that little bit of fur that allowed her to earn a way for herself in the most difficult time.

"Master, of course I'm willing to learn. I just don't know when you'll have time to teach me here. ”

When Shu Nuan expressed his desire to study strongly with an expectant face, Wu Qirong picked up the wine bottle and slowly filled her with a small glass of liquor.

"You have to learn how to taste wine before you can learn to make wine."

"Hmm......"

Shu Nuan looked at his wine glass that was filled again, and couldn't help but touch his cheek with the back of his hand. The small glass of wine before didn't make her drunk, but it made her cheeks red.

Even though it was more than half an hour ago, her slightly red cheeks had not cooled down.

"Rest assured, a glass is not intoxicating. Taste it slowly to be able to taste it. Wu Qirong still looks serious, but there is a warm tenderness in his eyes. You can't drink this wine directly, you have to taste it with your tongue. ”

Shu Nuan slowly raised his glass, learned from the master's appearance, and savored it carefully.

The originally slightly spicy liquor flows on the tip of the tongue, and a mellow aroma that belongs to the wine spreads in the mouth.

People who don't drink don't know the charm of wine, but people who love wine can't do without it.

At the end of this dinner, the two masters and apprentices reached a consensus on the issue of wine. The schedule for learning sake brewing has also been arranged.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, Shu Nuan was ready to go home, and even if the family didn't wait for her to have dinner, they must be waiting for her to go back to rest.

Shu Nuan looked up at the sunset that had no shadow in the sky, put on his shoulder bag, and was about to get up to say goodbye.

"Master, then I'll go back and come back to you tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Wu Qirong stopped her. "I've got some bottles of my own wine here, you can take them home and try them yourself."

"Master, this ......"

Shu Nuan wanted to say that she didn't drink much, but when she thought of what the master had said to her before, she nodded and answered.

"Okay, thank you, master."

"Wait."

Wu Qirong waved his hand and quickly stepped into the house.

After about five minutes, Wu Qirong walked out with a large bag.

"It's all fruit wine and rice wine, the degree is not high, and it is not intoxicating. You drink just right. ”

Shu Nuan stretched out her hand to take it, and the bag with weight weighed heavily on her heart, which made her feel at ease.

"Hmm."

She nodded, a smile on her face.

Wu Qirong looked at her well-behaved appearance, and couldn't help but touch the top of her hair.

"Alright, it's not too early. Before it gets completely dark, go back early and rest. ”

When the child grows up, he should be happy about something, but sometimes he thinks about it, but he is a little melancholy.

Shu Nuan's eyes were on the bag in his hand, and he naturally didn't notice the loss in the master's eyes.

She tightened her hand holding the bag, smiled and said goodbye to the master: "Got it." Master, you also rest early, see you later. ”

"Be careful on the road."

Wu Qirong stood at the door and instructed uneasily.

Shu Nuan waved his hand: "Got it." ”

After the two said goodbye to each other, Shu Nuan took advantage of the last sunset to slowly walk in the direction of home, where there were two relatives waiting for her return.

"Quack ......"

In the grass on the edge of the field in summer, the sound of frogs sounded rhythmically.

Shu Nuan's figure, in the afterglow of the setting sun, was pulled by the old elder.

On the second day, Shu Nuan went to the master as promised and began to learn how to make wine.

From the selection of raw materials to the process of each step, she enjoys it and learns carefully.

However, because she also has to take care of the business in her own shop, she does not have much time to stay at home, and naturally she does not have much time to stay and learn the craft of sake brewing from the master.

And Wu Qirong did not blindly insist on letting her stay, but after brewing the batch of rice wine and sorghum wine in his hand and continuing to store it to make it more mellow, he signaled Shu Nuan to go about his own affairs and not need to guard him for the time being.

Shu Nuan smiled and agreed, and in the next few days, he began to busy cultivating his own fields.

In this hot season, there should be no work to be done in the fields, but just the two small things of hoeing and collecting firewood are enough for her to keep her busy.

With the scorching sun on her head, carrying a hoe and busy with the villagers, she didn't have to think about other things, but she felt very comfortable and relaxed.

After spending some time at home, she packed her belongings and had to leave for the hill town. There, her small restaurant still needs her to run well.

Yesterday it rained heavily, and today is cloudy and overcast, and it is rare that there is no scorching sun.

Shu Nuan deliberately picked a day and left today.

The day before, the master knew that she was leaving today, so he sent two bottles of the wine they had brewed together in advance and asked her to take it away.

And Shu Nuan was slightly puzzled for a moment, and gladly accepted the other party's kindness.
