In a blink of an eye, the night was flickering, but the lights remained on.
The crowd has never diminished, and they all gather around to watch the tender performance.
Ruan was so excited to guess, she guessed all one hundred kinds of snacks before she knew it.
In addition to the satisfying meal of my own group, it also made the onlookers full of food.
It is better to have fun alone than to have fun together. Gentle, the magical nose, spread to every household in Xianyang in just one night.
"Hey, let me say, where is that girl from?"
"Ah! I just watched the excitement at night, so I didn't ask!"
"Hey, do you know what that girl's name is?"
"Oh! It's too much to worry about, it seems like she didn't say anything..."
After the bustle dissipated, Rourou and his party disappeared into the night, and everyone realized during the conversation that nothing was left behind by that girl.
"Hongxiu, it's late at night, why don't I take you back!" Qiao Zizhang said softly.
"So, we have Master Laozizhang." Hongxiu secretly rejoiced in his heart, as the night was dark and he was afraid of meeting the difficult Young Master Fan again on the road, so he agreed without hesitation.
Two boys and girls of similar age walked silently in the night, first one in front of the other, and at some point, they became walking side by side.
From "Miss Hongxiu" to "Hongxiu", the change of this night has made Hongxiu's heart still beating wildly.
Just walking with Master Zizhang like this, even if you don't say anything along the way, as long as he is by your side, you are happy.
Hongxiu's heart was warm, as if a powerful big hand had touched the soft grass in spring. Her cheeks gradually became hot, causing her to lower her head again.
"Young girl Rou is so interesting tonight!" After a long silence, Qiao Zizhang probably felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he found a topic.
"Yes, her nose is really sharp! I'm still holding it!" Hongxiu also responded when she heard the words, and raised her eyes, wanting to see but not daring to look at Young Master Zizhang beside her.
There was another silence.
"How did this girl master this unique skill? Now she is learning how to cook with Chef Wen, and she will definitely be able to make mistakes in the future!" Qiao Zizhang once again brought the topic to Wenrou.
"En. That's right, I heard from my father that sister Rou'er can also make wine!" Hongxiu also continued to respond on this topic.
They are obviously a pair of idiots who have a good understanding of each other, but a third person is pulled out, alas! It seems that this young lady's topic tonight. It was destined to be gentle, the cook. I don't know how many times Wen Rou has sneezed now.
"Brother Yuanzi, you go back first, it's getting late. Everyone, go back and rest earlier!" Rourou's group was saying goodbye at the intersection.
"Sister Rou'er, it's late at night, let's see you off!" Xiao Wu looked at the boundless night, with a worried face.
"No, let's all go back together!" Gentlely smiled and looked at Wen Ting, Mr. Song Tao, Shui Mo, and of course Ren Yue.
"Oh...then, be careful on your way!" Xiao Wu looked at the crowd, apparently unaware that Mr. Song Tao lived in Wen's house during the Chinese New Year.
"Ren Yue. I didn't have time to ask just now, why did you come back?" Mr. Song Tao asked after walking with the group for a while.
"Oh, New Year's Eve in Beijing is boring, so I'd better stay with the teacher and see a lot!" Ren Yue smiled.
"These days, we have been staying at Miss Wen's house. If we move back overnight tonight, it may be too late. Why don't you go to the inn for a night." Mr. Songtao thought about himself and his party, and then looked at Ren Yue.
"Ren Yue is grateful to Miss Wen for taking care of the teacher these days, but it's too late. I'm afraid I'm looking for an inn..." Ren Yue looked up at the night sky, his expression slightly troubled.
"Young master Ren, this is the key to the previous husband's residence, why don't you go back to live alone tonight?" Shui Mo took out a copper key in confusion.
Ren Yue didn't answer, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It's a cold time in the first month of the lunar year. Thinking about the southern suburbs of the city, Mr. hasn't lived at home for more than half a month. It must be cold to the bone. Thanks to you, ink and wash, you are still Mr.'s book boy , How come I don't know hot and cold at all.
"Hi! Go to the south of the city! If Brother Ren doesn't mind, you can spend the night at my house! If it doesn't work, I can rent out half a bed!" Wen Ting said carelessly.
"Brother!" Rourou couldn't laugh or cry.
Who is Ren Yue? Master Wushuang, you are extremely picky! Not to mention being stuck at home all night, he has to sleep with his clothes on, it's really uncomfortable! If he really sleeps in the same bed with Wen Ting tonight, Ren Yue can't stand up straight all night!
At this moment, Ren Yue's expression was extremely awkward, he could neither refuse Wen Ting's invitation, nor could he bear to share the same bed with Wen Ting...
"Mr. Ren, if you don't dislike it, please come back with us! I'll tidy up, you'll be fine for one night!" Rourou looked at Ren Yue's appearance, it was really funny, but she couldn't laugh, so she held back for a while, Still widened his heart.
This night, because of guessing riddles and fighting, it had been delayed for a long time, and then guessing food, it was already half the night, when Wen Rou and his party returned lightly, the Wen family had already turned off the lights and fell asleep.
Gentlely shook his hand, signaling Mr. Songtao and others to rest first, while he led Wen Ting and Ren Yue into the hut where Wen Ting lived temporarily.
After changing the bedding, the bed was made gently and quickly, "Young Master Ren, I have wronged you tonight."
"There is Miss Lao Wen, then he..." Ren Yue stood in this cramped hut without moving, pointing directly at Wen Ting at the door, afraid that he would share the bed with this brat tonight!
Roommates are not allowed either! If Wen Ting grinds his teeth, farts, and talks in his sleep...it's a nightmare!
"Don't worry, my brother won't sleep here!" After Rou Rou said, she pulled Wen Ting and turned around to leave. Before leaving, she still didn't forget to close the door for Ren Yue.
"Sister, originally my room was given over to Shui Mo and Uncle Sheng, and now my temporary hut has been given over to Ren Yue. Tell me, where do you want me to sleep tonight?" Wen Ting gently shook off her gentle hand, He crossed his arms in anger, his cheeks bulging.
"Why are you still sleeping! In two more hours, it will be dawn! Why don't you go to the kitchen with me, I'll make some wine, and you light the lamp to read a book, isn't sir going to check your "Analects"? I must have forgotten it today , I'll see how you handle business tomorrow!" Rourou pulled Wen Ting past, and went straight to the kitchen without any explanation.
In the dim kerosene lamp, the two siblings sat at the square table, reciting or silently, while the other leaned against the stove and focused on flipping through the yellowed ancient score.
"Hey! This wine..." The gentle gaze stayed in a corner of the wine making chapter.
There are two paragraphs of wine-making text written crookedly with a brush.
One is alcoholic wine. Although Wen Wen doesn't know much about wine, from the literal understanding, this is a kind of wine with extremely high concentration. The wine brewed with a small amount of water is naturally extremely strong! This wine is called 酎酒 in ancient books. The characteristic of this kind of wine is that it does not use the common koji soaking method, and the raw materials for wine making are not used in the usual steaming method, but the raw materials are first ground into powder and then steamed. Mix the koji powder with the steamed rice flour and put it into the vat for fermentation.
"Mix the koji powder with steamed rice noodles! Isn't that all solid! This can also ferment wine?" Rourou said to herself.
"Sister, what are you mumbling about?" Wen Ting shook his shoulders, changed his posture, and once again plunged into the atmosphere of reciting.
Rourou stuck out her tongue, only then did she realize that in the small kitchen, there was still her elder brother reading silently.
"The brewing time is as long as seven or eight months, and the fermentation is basically carried out under airtight conditions. After the rice flour and koji powder are mixed with a small amount of water, they are put into the urn, which is more sealed to prevent air leakage. Since the entry of external gas is basically cut off, the fermentation is going on from the beginning to the end!" Gentle understood the meaning of the words, and her heart became active.
"Sealing is good for alcohol fermentation. The color of the wine brewed by this method is as thick as sesame oil." Rourou silently read the words on the ancient book in her heart. Although she was dubious, she thought about the pickles and sauces made by herself It is probably obtained through fermentation. Presumably this powder fermented wine must have a very strong taste! Why don't you try
If such a strong wine can be brewed, what name should it be called
Gentle thought about it for a moment.
"Those who are able to drink good wine first can only drink half of it. If they drink three liters of wine, they will die if they don't drink it. Ordinary people are so drunk and ignorant.... A bucket of wine can make twenty people drunk. All winners will be paid." Ancient The words in the score once again reflected the gentle eyes.
Thinking of Sheng Yaoshan's chivalrous feelings, heroism, and his unruly and free and easy galloping on the battlefield.
"Drunk life and dream death!" Rourou secretly said in her heart, "This wine is called drunk life dream death!"
Today is a good season for brewing koji in winter. A few days ago, because I was rushing to make the morning dew wine that Sheng Yaoshan wanted, I prepared a lot of koji and rice noodles at home! For the Wen family who has a chef at home, it's even easier!
Gentle exhaled lightly, thinking is not as good as action!
Since Sheng Yaoshan's drinking capacity is astonishing, it must be that this kind of extremely high-concentration wine suits his appetite the most, so why don't I give it a try
While thinking about it, Rourou over there began to look for raw materials lightly, and started to make it...
"What does it smell like? It smells so good!" Wen Ting raised his head and regained his energy: "Sister, it's midnight, do you want to make me a supper? I really feel sorry for someone!"
"Go, go, brother, don't be so greedy! I'll steam some rice noodles so that I can make wine!" Rourou gave Wen Ting an annoyed look.
"Oh! It's time to make wine again! Didn't all the major restaurants have all the orders before?" Wen Ting muttered.
"Hey." Wenrou didn't respond to him, she smiled casually, and continued to watch the steamed rice noodles.
"Seven months... Now it's the first month, if it can really make wine, it will be the midsummer of the next year!" Leaning against the window, Wen Wen said to herself.
Thinking of the coming year, my elder brother will take the children's examination, Ren Yue will also take the general examination in autumn, and then the palace examination...
If he followed the trajectory of his previous life, Ren Yue would definitely be the No. 1 scholar in high school this year, be named on the gold list, and become famous all over the world!
Looking out of the window tenderly and obsessively, in the boundless darkness, there seems to be a figure faintly visible.
