NOVEL NEXT Chapter 200 Steamed Pear Wine
"Brother Yu, sister Zhemei, what a coincidence?"
Mao Xi said hello slightly awkwardly, thinking whether it was inappropriate for her to appear under the tree at this moment and break their relationship.
Miss Zhemei naturally came to Mao Xi and greeted her.
"Ah Shu, isn't the restaurant busy today?"
Mao Xi patted her belly and laughed at herself: "I ate pot-wrapped pork for dinner. I'm full, so I went out for a walk to digest."
I haven’t seen Yu Wanniang, who usually goes to Zhe Mei’s place to sing. Yu Xiaochuan goes to Zhe Mei on the pretext of picking up his sister. Today, it seems that they are out on a date!
Yu Xiaochuan held a small jar of pear blossom distilled wine in his hand and gave it to Mao Xi: "Just in time, I'm going to send this jar of wine to the shop for you. The neighbor's aunt heard that you wanted to drink pear blossom distilled wine, so she specially steamed some. I’ll bring it to you to try.”
"Sister Ma Xi, Xiaozhou also gave me a bottle just now. I felt pretty good after drinking this wine. You must like it too."
They were all called to the boat. Seeing Zhemei calling Yu Xiaoge so affectionately, these two people must have been having an affair for more than one day~
Mao Xi took the pear blossom steamed wine and couldn't wait to open the lid and smell it. The fragrance of the pear, mixed with the smell of alcohol, was refreshing and intoxicating.
"Oh, if you had delivered it earlier, we would have been blessed. Why don't you see Miss Wan Niang today? Where are you going?"
Mao Xi took the opportunity to ask, but Yu Xiaochuan was no longer as shy as before. He said generously: "My wife is at home. The little yellow warbler has a new song on the stage tonight. I will take Zhemei to the theater."
It seemed that Sister Zhemei and Brother Yu had really made good friends, and Mao Xi was happy for them.
After Mao Xi said goodbye to the two of them, she walked back with the pear blossom distilled wine and met Xiao Yun and Luo Li who came to look for her.
"Xiao Yun, Liuli, have you eaten?"
Unexpectedly, Luo Li grabbed Shu Xi's wrist with as much strength as if it were the first time they met.
"Miss Mao Xi, we have eaten. Xiao Yun and I would like to invite you to watch a show in Kaitang. I heard that a troupe will perform tricks today."
Speaking of magic, Mao Xi thought of the last time she saw someone perform magic, and she was shown to be suffering from aphansia. She declined: "Miss Luo Li went up to Wulao Mountain today. It would be better to rest in the Sifang Pavilion instead of walking around. .”
When Luo Li saw that Shu Xi rejected her invitation, she felt a little sad and said quietly: "Miss Shu Xi, are you still blaming me for going up the mountain alone and causing trouble for you and Brother Mu?"
He didn't expect that the housekeeper would be so sensitive. Mao Xi hurriedly covered it up: "No, Miss Luo Li, you are overthinking. I don't exercise much on weekdays. I was a little tired from climbing Wulao Mountain today. I want to get up early tonight." Get some rest.”
Xiao Yun interjected: "How about this? How about we go boating and sightseeing in Kaitang another day? I was a little moved when I saw the boatman punting the boat today and introduced the beautiful scenery of Kaitang."
"Let's go boating next time. Ah Shu's shop will be very busy these days!"
Mu Zhiyuan's slightly deep voice came from behind his ears. He came to the door of the shop and took the pear distilled wine from Mao Xi's hand.
When Mu Zhiyuan said this, Luo Li's expression became even darker, and she muttered in a low voice: "It's all my fault today, I shouldn't have made any demands again..."
Ma Xi, who was busy taking care of everyone's mood, sighed, took Luo Li's hand, and said: "Since you are here in Lihua Town, why don't you and Ayun come to my shop tomorrow for a big meal, and it will be considered as yours?" If you want to go out and have fun, you have to wait until the holidays so I can spare half a day. The shop has been really busy recently."
"Really? Then I will eat more delicious food tomorrow!" Luo Li's face turned gloomy.
"A word is settled!"
After sending Xiao Yun and Luo Li away, Mu Zhiyuan put the pear blossom distilled wine in the kitchen. He complained a little: "Ah Shu, don't go on the boat trip with Xiao Yun and the others. You can take it with you in a few days." They can go to Linglong Mountain for a walk, or go to Fanlou for dinner."
"Why?" Mao Xi was puzzled. Today, when the old sister-in-law was punting the boat, she introduced the scenery along the coast, which made her feel itchy.
"Because I want to take a boat ride with you and enjoy the scenery, just the two of us, without being disturbed by others."
"I see, Brother Mu, why didn't you make it clear just now?"
Mu Zhiyuan pressed his forehead and said with a frown, "Luo Li is still a child. I think Xiao Yun also wants to go. I'm worried that if I tell them directly, it will disappoint them both."
"Then you're not afraid that I'll spoil your fun?"
"After all, you are so busy now. It is rare for you to take half a day off on holidays. I don't want to waste it..."
Mu Zhiyuan was not good at bickering with women, and he choked on his words.
Seeing Mu Zhiyuan being teased, Mao Xi couldn't help it, and said with a suppressed smile: "I'm teasing you, as long as the weather is fine, even if it's not a holiday, I'm willing to go boating with Brother Mu!"
Lou Lan'er hid outside the kitchen and eavesdropped for a long time. When she saw the two of them flirting, she secretly covered her mouth and went to the stove.
Xiaoqing and Yaomei gossiped and asked, "What are the shopkeeper and Brother Mu talking about? Are the two of them mysterious?"
"Ahem, kids, don't ask so many questions. They are discussing the pear distilled liquor."
When Brother Ying heard the word pear, he became excited: "Sister Lan'er, my grandfather also has a lot of crisp pears. To make distilled wine, I asked my grandfather to make a few jars."
Lou Lan'er scratched the tip of Brother Ying's nose and said with a smile: "Brother Ying is still smart and sensible. It's decided that next time you will bring a few more baskets of crisp pears and we will make our own distilled fruit wine."
The next day, Brother Ying really brought some extra crispy pears, and Lou Laner took it upon herself to carry a big vat to make distilled pear wine.
Seeing her peeling and squeezing the juice, Mao Xi asked curiously: "Sister Lan'er, are you going to make pear soup? Why did you peel a whole basket of pears?"
Lou Lan'er poured the pear juice into the vat, added yeast, and closed the lid: "I'm going to make distilled pear wine. The pear juice needs to be fermented for a week first."
Mao Xi stepped forward to lend a hand and help cover the lid, a little doubtful: "Sister Lan'er, are you sure you can steam the pear wine in a week?"
"Don't worry, Sister Shu Xi, what my grandfather taught me is absolutely correct." Brother Ying continued to peel pears aside.
It turns out that Brother Ying's grandfather can also steam pear wine, and Mao Xi helped peel the pears together: "Then let's juice all the pears in this basket and make delicious pear wine."
At noon, Xiao Yun and Luo Li came to Liuxiang Snacks for dinner as scheduled.
Mao Xi entertained them with the pear wine brought by Brother Yu and some home-cooked dishes.
Xiao Yun and Luo Li must have eaten the food of that big restaurant, so Mao Xi prepared a table of home-cooked food.
In addition to squirrel mandarin fish, she also stir-fried ground fresh delicacies, stir-fried mushrooms, hard vegetables such as pot-roasted pork and green plum pork ribs. These are all appetizing meals. For the soup, she made durian and chicken soup.
Luo Li and Xiao Yun had a great time eating, especially the pear distilled wine. The woman didn't choke at all when drinking it. Although it was not as strong as the distilled grain wine, it was also excellent as a side dish with rice.
Mao Xi discovered from pear wine that female customers, a large consumer group, can also consume alcohol.
It seems that for this summer’s sugar water, more fruit-based wines can be developed, and maybe they will sell well.
