Chapter 517: Mash Wine
In the evening, the Guan family was naturally very lively, full of people sitting around two tables.
As usual, men sit at one table, and women and children sit at one table.
Aunt Wei looked a little restrained, because she was an elder, and after sitting at the man's table with Lao Guan for a while, she still didn't feel very good, so she moved to the woman's table.
The meals on the table are all big fish and meat, and now the days are getting better and better, and the white rice is served every meal, and there is no need to worry about eating brown rice and yellow noodles.
But sometimes Li Xin still makes coarse grains for her family to eat.
Guan Wen only said that she wanted not to forget the hardships, and ate a meal of coarse grains every two days to warn her family not to forget the past and not to be extravagant.
Li Xin didn't explain that it was good to eat coarse grains.
The life expectancy of some rich and noble families is not as good as that of the old men and women who work in the countryside every day and eat coarse grains. Coarse grain fiber helps to balance the diet, and the rich and noble only focus on "fine" and "supplement", forgetting the balance, since the body function is not comparable to the countrymen who exercise enough every day and maintain balance in eating.
But when everyone gets together, they still eat at her house, and they can't always bring out coarse grains to make people laugh.
Li Xin made a big pot of spicy fish today, which put mushrooms and bamboo shoots, roasted konjac duck, sour radish duck soup, stir-fried diced chicken, peas, medicinal chicken, and two large plates of bacon and sausage that were boiled and cut. The rest of the side dishes were also made, such as stir-fried cabbage.
Because Yang'er and Xiaokang love to drink, Li Xin also soaked mung beans mixed with water and grinded, and cooked a small pot of mung bean soup. I assumed it a drink.
Naturally, the men raised their glasses and drank and ate meat, while the women and children each had a bowl of mung bean soup.
The mung beans are finely ground and are delicious when mixed with sugar. It's hot again, and drinking it in your mouth warms your heart all the way.
Xing'er sighed and said, "It's still delicious, what's the strength of their men drinking that." ”
Bai Hui smiled: "Don't men like to drink? It's just such a cold day. It's not as comfortable as we drink the rolling mung bean soup. ”
This reminded Li Xin.
Li Xin walked over and said to Guan Wen: "I'll go and boil the wine for you and add some mash." ”
Guan Wen was surprised: "This is delicious? ”
"Try it."
At this time, there are also transparent liquors with a sauce-flavored and strong aroma, but the price is very high, because the production process is extremely complicated, and the degree is very high, and people who are greedy for cups love to drink it.
One of the three treasures of Huixian County is wine, from which Jiuzi Lane got its name. There are many sake breweries in the depths of Sake Alley.
Guan Wen's cousin, Zhao Changsheng, was an apprentice in the tavern, and if he did well and learned the craft, his future life would be certain - even if he was now an apprentice in the tavern, the monthly salary would not necessarily be less.
Guan Wen: They drank beige and beige grain wine. The degree is not high, but it is still good to drink too much. Especially those who have never been exposed to liquor, they are even more likely to get drunk.
Li Xin went to cook a large bowl of rice, afraid that the taste would not be good.
After boiling it, Guan Wen tasted it.
"Huh, it seems to smell a little different?"
Guan Wen took a sip and raised his eyebrows slightly.
When the other men in the room heard this, they all wanted to give it a try.
One person drank a small glass, and they all laughed and said that it was not as pungent and spicy as when the wine was cold, but it still tasted like wine in the mouth. There are also some mash rice particles at the bottom of the bowl.
"If you can drink this, you can cook some more, so cold days, drinking cold wine is too cold, and it hurts the stomach."
Li Xin said with a smile, and when he saw Guan Wen nodding, he took the wine jar and went to the stove to cook it.
He Chunsheng sighed: "Brother Guan has married a virtuous daughter-in-law. ”
"He Chunsheng, what do you mean? I'm just lazy, aren't I? ”
The silver ring immediately crossed the waist and bulged eyes. Angry and said, "Who asked you to marry me!" ”
He Chunsheng smiled and said: "You're not afraid that everyone will see jokes and quarrel with me at other people's homes?" ”
Yinhuan snorted: "I'm a hero today, and the heroism is on the rise at this time!" Don't offend me if you drink two taels of wine, or I'll clean it up with you. ”
He Chunsheng was interested: "How did you become a hero?" You say come and hear it. ”
"Yes, Yinhuan, what happened to you when you go to Yuanguang Temple today?" Guan Wu also asked curiously.
Yinhuan smiled triumphantly, just to say that he was speechless to refute the servants of the rich and noble family today, and even the abbot came forward to persuade her, and was respectful to her, who knew that before the words came out, Bai Hui dragged her hard.
"What's wrong?" Yinhuan blinked, not quite understanding: "It's not that this matter can't be said." ”
"Hold back a bit." Bai Hui said helplessly: "You are in the limelight today, don't be unforgiving...... I don't know what the abbot of Yuanguang Temple and the Shen family think. ”
"What do I care what they think? Anyway, I just saw the unevenness of the road and pulled out a knife to help! ”
"Sister Yinhuan, did you draw your sword?" Ah Mei's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "You didn't have a knife when you left." ”
Ah Mei's words made everyone laugh, Yinhuan was about to explain to Ah Mei, but he caught a glimpse of the smile in Ah Mei's eyes, and immediately knew that she was teasing herself, and suddenly she couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Xing'er and Yinhuan talked about what happened in Yuanguang Temple, and the others were fine, but Guan Wen and Guan Wu were a little thoughtful.
Their reaction was also expected by Xing'er, who paused and said, "Later, no one from the Shen family came, so we didn't stay long." But after all, I was there for a while, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so late. ”
Sun Hongyan nodded and said, "Let's not get involved in the affairs of the mansion." ”
Yinhuan was not happy: "I'm helping others!" ”
"Maybe you've hurt someone?"
He Chunsheng sighed helplessly: "Do you think everyone is as enthusiastic as you?" As soon as you turn around and leave, the abbot will take the opportunity to practice meditation and not see outsiders, so this matter will be hidden, and the servants and women can be restrained for a while, but they can't be restrained for a lifetime. On the surface, people are respectful and respectful, and you can't catch the mistake, but behind the scenes? Didn't you mean that Mrs. doesn't squeak at all? ”
Yinhuan wanted to refute, but listening to what He Chunsheng said, it seemed that he had two points of truth, and he couldn't refute it, so he was immediately unhappy and poked his bowl in a sneering manner.
Li Xin came back from cooking wine, and saw Yinhuan pausing there as if she was angry, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, so she bumped into Bai Hui and asked her, "What's wrong with Yinhuan?" ”
Bai Hui laughed and said, "I was trained by her family." ”
Li Xin didn't believe it: "Can she be trained by the family?" ”
Bai Hui and Li Xin spoke, Yinhuan heard it, and just after this sentence was finished, Xing'er laughed out loud, Yinhuan's face couldn't hold back, and he accused Bai Hui and Xing'er stupidly: "You should be on my side, why are you laughing at me now?" ”
"I'm not smiling." Li Xin blinked, but there was still a smile in his eyes: "I don't know what's going on yet." ”
Yinhuan snorted and drank the mung bean soup in front of him.
After a while, the subject shifted away, and she stopped remembering it.
Sending away the He family and the Sun family, Li Xin drove Yang'er to sleep, and asked Guan Wu to take Xing'er and Xiaokang back to rest, saying that they would clean up the things here.
Guan Wen went to sleep at the old juncture, and Aunt Wei was not used to staying up late, so she went to rest early. Ah Mei helped wash the pots and bowls in the stove.
Li Xin and Guan Wen were in the hall, and when they saw that there was no one else, they whispered to her: "Miss An's family is not in good spirits. ”
Guan Wen frowned: "She is no longer Miss An Jia, but the fourth wife of the Shen family." ”
Li Xin pursed her lips and asked him, "You really haven't heard about her in the town?" ”
Guan Wen shook his head: "I haven't heard any news from the Shen family, presumably she went to Yuanguang Temple to worship Buddha or something, and it was also very quiet." Otherwise, why is there no wind at all? ”
"That is, the people of the Shen family are also hiding this news."
Li Xin wiped the table, Guan Wen was sweeping the floor with a broom, heard the words and responded softly, paused and looked up and asked Li Xin: "When she saw you and Xing'er, did she reveal any special emotions?" ”
Guan Wen frowned and said to himself: "You said she didn't say a word...... It can't be dumb, it's not dumb, it's just that she doesn't want to talk......"
Li Xin thought about it carefully, remembered a detail, and hurriedly said: "Don't say it, she has been hanging her head, she should not have paid attention to me and Xing'er, as for whether she saw us or not, then I don't know." However, when Yinhuan accused the servants who bullied her, she said, "People are doing it, the sky is watching, good and evil will be rewarded in the end", and she trembled up and down. ”
Li Xin nodded and said, "That should be in a weak heart, I'm afraid it's herself." ”
"It's possible."
Guan Wen exhaled.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Li Xin smiled and said, "You're having a good time today, aren't you?" I drank it at noon, and I drank it at night. ”
Guan Wen chuckled lowly: "It's rare to have such an opportunity. ”
"It's okay to drink once in a while, but it's okay to drink every day." Li Xin said solemnly: "And drink to nourish your body, a lot of injuries, wine is not a good thing, it is best not to touch it." ”
Guan Wen promised in a low voice: "I know, you said it, I don't usually drink." ”
"That's for the best."
"It's just that a few buddies are together, they don't drink, and they can't find anything else to do." Guan Wen smiled: "Don't you have to be on the wine table to talk about things?" ”
"Just make excuses."
Li Xin gave him a blank look, took a rag and threw it into the water, and as soon as he touched the water, Li Xin "hissed".
"What's wrong?"
Guan Wen hurriedly came over.
Li Xin shook his head and said, "It's okay, the water is a little cold." ”
"If it's cold, change the hot water." Guan Wendao.
Li Xin nodded, went out with a wooden basin, and instructed Guan Wen to clean up the ground.
The water was poured out and hot water was added, and Li Xincai clenched his fists lightly.
There was still a slight pain in the palm of his hand.
