199 Fire and Ice

Kong Gaoming was flattered and took the candy. Although he is a big man, he definitely doesn't like to eat sweet and greasy things, if someone else gives it, he will definitely have to refuse.

But this candy was sent by Sheng Zhizhi!

Kong Gaoming looked like he was holding a baby in his heart, and then carefully stuffed the candy into his mouth, and for a while he only felt that the candy not only made his mouth sweet, but also made his heart sweet.

He was happy, but Sheng Zhizhi, who gave him candy, pouted.

Originally, I was just trying to give candy, but why did this person really accept it and eat it! is such a big person, and he even grabs candy with children to eat. Shouldn't you refuse to come back?

Things didn't go the way Sheng Zhizhi imagined, and she was very unhappy.

Sheng Zhizhi was very aggrieved, but there was no way. But the rest of the candy in her hand was determined not to take it out. Siming hasn't tasted it yet, so he must hide it well, and when he sees Siming next time, he will give him a taste.

But it's a pity that none of the people in this room are the same age as her, and they can't guess what those children in Sheng Zhizhi's heart think. Therefore, from beginning to end, no one noticed the change in Sheng Zhizhi's expression.

Sheng Qingqing was a sister, but she felt a little bit, but she was about to ask, when she heard Second Uncle Niu greet them.

"Sit down, sit down, sit down!"

It can be seen that the Niu family has made perfect preparations today, not only inviting "guests" in advance, but also moving the big table out of the warehouse.

The last time I saw this big table, it was during the New Year, and the big guys gathered around and ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

What kind of happy event is it, such a big battle.

Sheng Qingqing sat quietly at the table, watching Second Uncle Niu arrange everyone to sit down.

Second Uncle Niu is sitting in the main seat, he is Niu Yu at the bottom left, and Aunt Niu is at the bottom right, and the guests are only the two sisters, and there is a Kong Gaoming.

Judging from the number of guests alone, this is really not a wine banquet, and there are more people than this during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, at least Sheng Siming was still at home at that time.

You can look at the dishes that have been prepared on the table, four meats, four vegetables and four cold dishes, a proper banquet setting, and there is even a big pig's head in the center of the table.

In these years, smoked pig's head is equivalent to "cake". If there is no major happy event, most people will not prepare. As for the last Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they didn't put the pig's head on the menu.

Second Uncle Niu sat on the main seat with a smile, it seemed that he was very happy, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile all the time, at this time he was the first to take the wine cup on the table and fill his wine glass first.

"There is a great event today, and I invite you to come and celebrate. The big guys are all very familiar, I won't say extra polite words, let's eat and drink well today, it's the biggest celebration! ”

With that, he raised his glass, "I'll do it first!" ”

Kong Gaoming is a bold person, and he also poured a full glass of wine when he heard the words, "Brother is refreshing, brother, I also toast you!" ”

He drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said in the end: "Brother, your family's wine is strong enough, but unfortunately drinking it in this small wine cup is really not tasteful, and it is gone in one sip, and it is not enough to moisten your throat." ”

Second Uncle Niu was not angry at all. He knew Kong Gaoming's temper and knew that he was completely telling the truth. The two can be regarded as rare drinking friends and confidants.

At that moment, Second Uncle Niu said: "I also think that this wine cup has no taste when you drink it, Yu Er's mother, you go to the back and get a big bowl!" ”

"You're going to send me!" Aunt Niu was stunned, and pretended to be angry and patted Uncle Niu, but she was still happy, so she got up and went to the back kitchen to get two big bowls.

The wine on the table today is made by the Niu family themselves.

"Brother, drink more, let's not get drunk today." Second Uncle Niu took two bowls, filled them with wine, and said: "This wine is brewed by myself, and it is also soaked in a lot of nourishing herbs, and I drink more to strengthen my body!" ”

Kong Gaoming responded with a smile, picked up the big bowl and poured it directly.

"Refreshing!" Second Uncle Niu shouted, and poured his bowl into his mouth.

Sheng Qingqing was stunned and watched the two of them drink happily.

This banquet has just begun, and the dishes on the table have not moved yet, and they have already begun to fight for wine, what is the process?

"Second aunt, is it okay?" She couldn't help but ask.

Unexpectedly, Second Aunt Niu didn't have the slightest objection, and she also smiled, "It's rare to be happy today, just let your second uncle drink more." ”

Sheng Qingqing was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Aunt Niu noticed that she didn't move her chopsticks, and hurriedly said: "They drink, Qing Yatou and Zhizhi are still young, so they can't drink, so my aunt will pour you some fruit wine to drink?" ”

In these years, ordinary farmers already have "fruit wine". But their "fruit wine" is different from the one Sheng Qingqing drank at Cheng's house before.

Because of the imperial court's alcohol restriction order, the people were not allowed to sell alcohol privately, so the circulation of sake lees was very difficult. Most people are reluctant to use it to make fruit wine. First, the fruit wine has a low degree and few people drink it. Second, a large amount of fruit is consumed in the process of fruit wine brewing. It's already good to be able to eat one or two fruits this year, and whoever is so generous uses them to make wine.

The Cheng family is also wealthy, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to brew fruit wine with a very low degree and not many people drink.

And what Aunt Niu said was fruit wine, saying that it was wine, in Sheng Qingqing's opinion, it was actually juice. Although the fruit wine of the Cheng family is low, it is indeed brewed with sake lees and has the aroma of wine. However, the fruit wine of ordinary farmers only has a pure fruity aroma.

Because the "fruit wine" of ordinary farmers is simply to fry the fruit into juice, and then add wine to it depending on the amount of alcohol consumed by the individual.

When Sheng Qingqing heard this method for the first time, she was stunned, she never expected that there would be such a simple and rude "fruit wine". Later, she had a chance to taste a little, and she swore from the bottom of her heart that she would never drink this thing again in the future.

"Second aunt, don't bother!" Sheng Qingqing hurriedly waved her hand to refuse at this time, "Zhizhi is still young, just pour her some water." ”

Aunt Niu still wanted to persuade, but Sheng Qingqing's attitude was very resolute.

"Okay, okay." Aunt Niu couldn't help it, so she went to the back kitchen and poured a pot full of water.

Sheng Qingqing touched it, fortunately, it was warm, it should be hot water.

Don't blame her for being careful, people in these years are very unparticular, they go directly to the stream when they are thirsty, and drink the water head-down, and there is no concept of disinfection and sterilization at all. Although the water of the stream is crystal clear, who knows if there is animal droppings and insects and snakes passing through the mountains.

Since Sheng Qingqing called, he asked the family to drink water after it must be boiled before drinking.

After these months of education, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming now have this good habit.

At this time, Sheng Qingqing poured boiled water into the wine glass in front of Sheng Zhizhi, and the little girl drank it without the slightest hesitationβ€”she had just eaten a few pieces of candy, and she was probably panicked.

When Aunt Niu saw that the two of them were satisfied, she didn't care anymore.

She turned to look at her son opposite, Niu Yu.

Because she is used to drinking tea boiled with space spring water these days, this ordinary cold and white open, she really feels tasteless when she drinks it, but in order to prevent Aunt Niu from continuing to encourage her to drink "fruit wine", she still means to drink a little.

Sheng Qingqing took a sip of the hot water in the cup, followed Aunt Niu's gaze curiously, and looked at Niu Yu.

It's also strange to say, the father and mother look happy, but the son has a straight face, as if he has encountered some bad news, not to mention that his face is pale, but he definitely can't see where to go.

At this time, Aunt Niu looked at him, but Niu Yu didn't even return the slightest extra gaze, and looked very cold as if he didn't see it. This is completely inconsistent with Niu Yu's personality. This kid usually looks like a hippie smile, but he actually respects and loves his parents.

And......

Sheng Qingqing thought about it for a while, and made sure that Niu Yu hadn't said a word since he entered the door.

It's not like it's happy.

Could it be that today's happy event of the Niu family has nothing to do with Niu Yu?

But even if it has nothing to do with the happy appearance of Second Uncle Niu and Second Aunt Niu, when the son is unhappy in his heart, he will smile cooperatively, right?

Sheng Qingqing became more and more curious in her heart, before Second Uncle Niu told her that at the banquet, he would announce what happy events had happened today, but now Second Uncle Niu has already fought with Kong Gaoming, and he is beyond the object, and he can't explain to her what happened to him.

"......" Sheng Qingqing pondered for a moment, and seeing that the mother and son had no intention of talking, she couldn't help but mention something, "Second aunt, I don't know what kind of happy event is the banquet held today?" You'll have to give me a good talk. ”

As soon as these words came out, Sheng Qingqing knew that something was wrong.

Aunt Niu is fine, with a smile on her face, and she seems to be eager to share the happy event with her. But Niu Yu, who was already gloomy over there, suddenly turned pale, gritting his teeth and looking very angry.

Sheng Qingqing "......" She gasped, and suddenly had a very bad idea in her heart.

However, Aunt Niu over there had already begun to say, "I forgot to say it!" ”

She smiled and said, "But it's a big deal! Your little brother Yu is not young this year, and your second uncle was thinking about finding a good girl some time ago. ”

Sheng Qingqing: "......" No, she doesn't want to hear it at all now.

When Niu Yu heard "good girl" over there, his face could no longer be said to be "Tie Qing", it was completely gloomy, as black as if he had just been fished out of ink.

Aunt Niu didn't notice how unhappy her son was, and still said with a smile: "No, a few days ago, it was hard to find the right family, and it was negotiated two days ago, and I will be hired in two days!" ”

It seems that the dowry has not been brought over......

Sheng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
