Chapter 68

The wine maker in the village, whose family name is Shen, moved here seven years ago. He doesn't have any land, and he just makes wine, so he can live a decent life.There is no interaction with the people in the village.

Therefore, people in the village prefer to buy wine from people in the next village, and seldom go to Shen's house to buy wine.The Shen family's wine is basically sent to the taverns in the town for sale.

"Is anyone there?" Since they moved in later, the Shen family's house is relatively remote, at Daxitou of the village, Xiao gently walked through the whole village before coming to their yard.

The Shen family didn't have a courtyard wall, just a fence made of tree branches. There were large and small taverns in the courtyard, and the smell of wine wafted in the air.Although it is not the best, it is also a rare good wine.

The Shen family seldom interacted with people in the village, so they didn't know that there was a Miss Mu in the village.Surprised to see someone coming.

"Madam, is there something wrong?" It was the lady of the Shen family who asked.Seeing Xiao Qingqing leading a child, she called Xiao Qingqing his wife.

Her home is a wine maker, and when someone comes, the normal question should not be "buy wine?".Xiao Weiwei expressed that he didn't quite understand.

"Do you sell your wine?" Xiao asked softly.Xiao Qingqing asked this question because the lady of the Shen family gave her the feeling that their family's wine was not for sale.

"Sell, of course, I don't know whose wife you are. I don't go out all day, and I don't know each other very well." The lady of the Shen family said awkwardly. "Sir, someone wants to buy wine."

Shen Nianhua came out of the house, still holding an oil lamp, opened the simple courtyard door, and said, "Madam, please come in."

It was only now that Xiao Qingqing could see clearly the appearance of the lady of the Shen family, no matter in terms of clothing or appearance, she didn't look like a peasant girl, on the contrary, she looked like a charming young lady who didn't leave home.

I heard that the Shen family moved here seven years ago, maybe it used to be a wealthy family?It must have suffered some misfortune to come to such a poor mountain village.

"Um, I'm just here, you can call me Miss Mu." Xiao Qing followed into the yard and corrected. "I live in Mu's house."

"It turns out that Miss Mu, the miraculous doctor everyone is talking about, is you." Shen Nianhua still heard a few ears occasionally, and knew of Miss Mu's existence. "How many drinks does the girl have?"

Shen Nianhua thought that Xiao Qingqing was the one who drank the wine by himself, and felt a little strange. Could it be that women are so unrestrained these days?It was also because she was a woman that Shen Nianhua felt that Xiao Qingqing might only be able to hit her a few times.

"Give me twenty catties of wine, please send it to Mu's house." Xiao Qingqing said boldly.

There are about 100 people in total, and they open their mouths to drink. I don't know how much they can drink.But it's already night, and everyone has to go home, so they can't drink too much, twenty catties, that's two taels for each person, and it's not bad to have a glass of wine to warm up in the cold autumn.

Hasn't someone researched that drinking a moderate amount of white wine every day is beneficial?Rice wine is more nutritious than white wine.

"Miss Mu, is what you said true?" Shen Nianhua was a little excited.He went to deliver wine to the taverns in the town, and four or five taverns added up could bear a hundred catties.On average, a family only weighs [-] catties, which is still the amount of one episode (this refers to the rural market, and one episode refers to five days, not an episode of a TV series).

"Just send it here, this is the wine money." Xiao Qingqing handed the wine money prepared in advance to the Shen family's wife.

The lady of the Shen family was born as a lady of the family, Xiao Qingqing had already confirmed it, just by her delicate hands, she could already see it.No wonder she misunderstood the question at the beginning.It turned out not to be a business material.

However, the lady of the Shen family is from a noble family background, she embroiders and makes clothes in the house on weekdays, and rarely goes out.Even washing clothes is carried from their own wells.Because wine needs water, Shen Nianhua asked someone to dig a well in his yard. It was a sweet water well, very suitable for wine making.

"Okay, I'll send it to you in a while." Shen Nianhua said.Except for the excitement at the beginning, there is no surprise at all.

This person should not be an ordinary person. Although he doesn't look very good, he can tell that although this Shen Nianhua is fat, he is not that kind of puffy. He should be full of tendons.There are some calluses on his hands, which may have been worn out by holding a sword.

Xiao Weiwei saw everything in his eyes silently, and went back without saying anything.

When they returned to Mu's house, the food was ready, those who had finished trading sat down around the table, and those who hadn't finished selling cotton were still queuing.

Although everyone had already sat down, no one moved their chopsticks, as if they were waiting for her master to come back.

"Miss Mu, the food is ready." Wan Niang squeezed out from the crowd and said. "Do you think we should let everyone eat now, or wait until the other side is finished, and eat together?"

There are also people who bring food from the kitchen to this side one after another. They are all peasants, and they don't think it's too hot.

Seeing that there are more than a dozen people queuing up there, Xiao gently said: "If you have sold out the cotton, let's eat first, and it will be over soon. I'm going to buy wine, and Uncle Shen will deliver it later." Come drink."

As soon as Xiao Qingqing's words fell, Shen Nianhua came pulling a carriage, and the action was quite fast.

Before everyone started to put their chopsticks down, when they saw the wine being delivered, everyone helped to carry the wine.

The wine was packed in jars of half a catty, and there were forty jars in total.

Why pack it into half a catty?Because the consumption level here is here, if there are too many bottles, they can't be sold. Therefore, the wine jars that Shen Nianhua made are all half a catty.

Everyone finished the wine in a hurry, and the liquidation was over there.

Only then did we start to sit down and eat.

"Miss Mu, I am from a neighboring village. We are so grateful to you for saving us from the fire and water. This cup is for me to respect Miss Mu. Miss Mu is free to do whatever she wants. I will do it first." Someone said. Holding the wine glass, he began to toast.

"I do these things for myself. You don't have to be so polite." Xiao Weiwei said with some embarrassment. She thought that she didn't invest much. Dozens of times more than that.

Someone took the lead, and many people came to toast Xiao gently one after another.Xiao drank a few cups lightly, then excused himself saying that he couldn't drink any more, and everyone gave up.

They are all poor people, this is wine and meat, how can they usually afford such expensive food, and they don't communicate much, and they eat hard.

Suddenly hearing something sound at the door, Xiao Qingqing asked Cai'er to go and have a look.It turned out to be the children in the village, and they came over after smelling the fragrance.

Cai'er brought these children in on her own initiative this time, and gave each of them a piece of meat.

Looking at Cai'er's behavior, Xiao Qingqing didn't say anything, but felt in her heart that this girl seemed to have grown up suddenly and could handle things.

"Everyone, be careful, eat slowly, there will be more after eating." Cai'er said in her not-so-loud voice.

At this moment, Wang Shi came over with a wine glass.
