"Ah, ran away?"
"It is said that someone has reported to the official. The reported stealing of silver." Yang Dalang brought back the news.
"Hey, this..." Miao He couldn't comment. If the family reported to the official, the matter would be irreversible. "I just hope he can live well in the future."
But is it really easy. A brother who has been arrested and is a black household has no place to cry if he is robbed on the road. However, like Miao Yuan, it is a path chosen by each person. No one can replace him. So the two of them at this time did not know that this discussion was really the last time I heard the news of Minchun.
"Don't talk about him, there's something else."
"what?"
It was the plums that Xu Huan transported from their home last year. After a year of winemaking, they finally turned into wine!
Originally, it was said that the wine was good, and the Xu family was responsible for the sales, and there was nothing about Yang Dalang's side. Now that this plum is still attached to the tribute, it is too wasteful to sell it as an ordinary fruit wine. To be cautious, Xu Huan wrote a letter and invited Yang Dalang to go to Sucheng for a chat, and also stopped by to see their Xu family's winery, so as to negotiate the next winemaking matters of the year.
Miao He Ting's eyes lit up. How could Yang Dalang not know, rubbing people's heads, "The whole family will go."
Miao He rolled his eyes and cheered. Happy to pack up and go.
A few days later, after arranging the family affairs and bringing the two children, Miao He and Yang Dalang boarded the boat leaving Miaoshui Town for the first time!
Although a little shaking and a little dizzy, Miao He was still in a good mood all the way. More exciting than him are Mantou and Wotou. Neither of them seemed to be seasick. They pointed their fingers outside the cabin every day, meaning they were going to the deck to blow air.
On the third day of departure, Miao He's family arrived in Sioux City safely. Xu Huan had long been waiting at the port with a smile.
This time, Xu Huan insisted on paying for all the expenses in Sioux City. He said that this was his land, otherwise the money would be made more expensive and earned by others, why would it be necessary? Moreover, the courtesy exchanges. In the past, he was taken care of in Miaojia Village. Now that he has changed the city of Su, he must be allowed to do his best as a landlord.
When the friendship and relationship have reached a certain level, subdividing these will hurt the feelings. Yang Dalang nodded. So this time, they lived in a yard of Xu Huangui's house on the outskirts of the city. They had an independent yard with servants to clean and cook, and there were carriages to go in and out. The family could live comfortably, and the arrangements were considerate and thoughtful. Soon, the Miao He family settled in the other courtyard.
When Miao He came to Sioux City, the first thing Miao He wanted to visit was the shop he bought in Sioux City. Neat and clean shop, with a large backyard, now half of it has been converted into a longhouse, which is good for storing inventory. But as soon as he entered the door, several voices of "Boss Lady" and "Boss Lady" came and went, which made Miao He sound a little awkward, and he couldn't find the words to replace it.
Seeing that some of the guys were young, Miao He asked a lot, and then he realized that most of them were the half-eldest who came to the big city to seek work because their hometown was hit by disaster. So it is no wonder that Yang Dalang employs child labor.
There are only a few items on the shelf. One is the crispy plums they brewed and delivered in early April this year, just before they went out. One is the location of sweet-scented osmanthus nectar and pure nectar. The sign above is "sold out, accepting reservations". Then there are the peach jam and pear jam that I cooked last fall, which are also marked as "sold out".
Miao He secretly asked Yang Dalang, "Then, what are you doing to pay them all winter?"
You can't get a stable job for a few months a year. Otherwise, how do people live in the rest of the month, people will definitely run away after a long time.
"Recycle the wooden box. You said it." Yang Dalang reminded.
"Oh, is it a wooden box for fruit?"
"En. Environmental protection."
"..." Miao He scratched his head. Although it was taught by himself, it was still very strange to hear it from Yang Dalang's mouth.
The next day, it was time to visit Xu Huanjia's winery.
Take the carriage all the way to the outskirts of the mountainous area, where there is a large area of sorghum wheat, all crops used for winemaking.
The Xu family's winery is quite well established. Many aspects of winemaking require extensive cleaning, drying, and sterilization. It’s okay to do a small amount by yourself, but there is no manpower allocation like Xujia Winery on a large scale, and everyone has to be experienced and experienced, and most of them have to invest in tuition for several years. Not to mention, the Xu family even made their own bottled wine urns.
So when Xu Huan came to ask for plums last year, Miao He asked Yang Dalang to agree without thinking. And the conditions that people negotiated, at the time it was their own petty take advantage, now it has become a good thing of mutual benefit and reciprocity, but it is even better.
Xu Huan smiled and let someone take a jug of wine, "Come here, the business is here. You must have tasted the plum wine brewed by the two companies this time."
I took a set of high-grade wine cups made of white porcelain and filled them with wine. The wine that slipped into the clean white wine cup was very bright!
The color is nearly rose reddish brown, clear and clear without any impurities, just as beautiful as a gem!
At this time, a strong fruity fragrance rushed into the nose, but it didn't lose much color after a year. When you enter it again, it is rich and sweet, and there is no astringency at all! The sweetness is not as heavy as Miaohe's self-brewed, but it has a subtle sourness, and with the alcohol in it, the balance of all levels is just right! !
Of course, drinking in Miao He is only a few words. "It's delicious, it's delicious!"
And that's the best certainty. Xu Huan said happily, "It's rare that the wine has been so successful. After I discussed it with several housekeepers, I wanted to hold a wine tasting party for this wine to open up the scene. After all, the Dalang family grows all kinds of tribute fruit, and there is this signboard. , it will definitely add a lot to our wine."
According to Xu Huan's plan, he wanted to hold a wine-tasting party by combining the beautiful scenery and food with a more elegant style compared to the previous flower viewing party of Miao He's family. The place chosen is a top-level tea house facing the canal. There is a willow Yiyi by the river, just in time for the green spring. The long river view is also open and elegant.
"Since the two of you happen to be in Su City, why don't you have a lively together. What do you two think?"
Of course, Yang Dalang and Miao He agreed without a second thought.
For this reason, before participating in the wine tasting party, the Miao He family had to go to the largest cloth shop in Sioux City to quickly buy new clothes for the whole family.
The cloth shop sells both cloth and ready-to-wear. Under the enthusiastic recommendation of the shop assistant, Miao He and Yang Dalang each chose one set of light purple, one set of moon white, and two sets of baby green. After trying on them one after another, the fabric and workmanship were really good and meticulous. It was two or three times more expensive than in the town, which still made Miao He feel a little bit of pain.
"However, Dalang looks really good in this way!" Miao He said happily, surrounded by Yang Dalang in a moon-white robe. Yang Dalang rarely wears bright colors, but this time, it makes people's bronze skin more healthy and sexy, making people's eyes bright!
Yang Dalang didn't care about himself. Now the little brother is dressed in lavender and has a bright gray blouse, which is also a color that he has never seen before. Fitted tailoring and exquisite embroidery make the little brother look elegant and handsome, as if he was born to wear it like this. Yang Dalang pointed and said to the shop assistant who enthusiastically accompanied him, "Here, light colors are all available."
Miao Hedeng clapped people's hands, "What are you doing!? How can you use so many sets, it costs money!"
"It looks good. I will wear it when I go back."
"When will I wear it when I go back? No. Little Er, don't listen to him, I'll be fine."
"But this brother, you look really good in your clothes. Your husband is really discerning. This tailoring and this fabric are suitable for you! Light colors are very rare. This batch is all new material this spring, you can't miss it when you pass by, bro."
"Buy." Yang Dalang was about to pay.
Miao He still wanted to persuade, but a voice on the side said disapprovingly, "Whether you should buy it or not. If you can't afford it if you don't have the money, don't stand in the store and get in the way."
As soon as he turned his head, it was a young boy who had just spoken, with a rather impatient expression. Seeing the arrogant look on his face, and the servants behind him, as if he had a background, Miao He didn't want to pay attention to it, and pulled him away. When people talk like this, it is him who is embarrassed, not himself.
Just after continuing to attack and defend with Yang Dalang several times, all those new clothes were finally bought back.
As a result, Miao He was still a little bored when he returned to another courtyard. It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but he wants to spend it on the edge of the knife.
Yang Dalang hugged people and knew how to coax. "Jam and Codonopsis money, came here to get two hundred taels."
Miao Hedeng raised his head immediately, his eyes slightly brightened, "Really?"
"kindness."
"Then, that should be yours too! I forgot about it just now. Before we go home, let's go again!"
Yang Dalang smiled and couldn't help hugging and kissing.
The little brother is reluctant to buy new clothes by himself, but he always likes to buy him a man.
He didn't understand this truth, but it didn't prevent a warm feeling in his heart.
You have to touch people and relatives to calm down.
—
A few days later, it was wine tasting.
That day, the Miao He family came to the venue in neat clothes. When they arrived, there were already many luxuriously dressed guests, chatting in a low voice, laughing and feasting. The presence of silk and bamboo music was also arranged. The soft and soft southern tune, and the fluttering willows outside, are quite a backdrop.
Most of the wine tasting parties invited large businessmen who had business dealings with Xu Huan, and there were few companions for such drinking occasions. So the Miao He family, who attended the whole family and brought two babies, seemed out of place. In particular, this family is all good-looking, handsome man, beautiful brother, and the two children who are held on their laps are also cute like golden boys.
When the guests saw it, they couldn't help but ask a few questions.
Xu Huan smiled and introduced the newly added tribute merchants to everyone. Didn't Su Cheng rush to order the fruit for a while a while ago? It's his family. Furthermore, the new plum wine produced this time is also brewed from the plums from Brother Yang’s house, but it is of the same level as Gongguo.
With that said, the scene became lively.
"It turned out to be Boss Yang himself! I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It was really difficult to order your fruit last year."
"People say that meeting is three-point love, Boss Yang, we should discuss this order in the future. Hahahaha."
"Boss Lin is right! If you can have a few drinks today, it's a love affair. If you have anything in the future, it's easy to talk about it!"
When everyone was chatting happily, a sneer came out of them.
"Yo, I ran into it again. This is not a small family who had no money to buy clothes in the city a few days ago. How can they get in? This wine tasting party was invited by all kinds of people."
