Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 371 Drunk?

"That's great. Is your rice wine ready to drink? Didn't you say it would last three days? Today is exactly three days, so it should be ready to drink. Peanuts and edamame go best with wine."

Xu Han smiled when she heard that. "It's almost time to drink. I saw it this morning. I'll prepare some for you when I get home. I'll cook you some side dishes tonight. You've been tired all day, so come back and have a good drink."

Grandpa Zhao also said happily, "Hahaha, okay, okay, cook more peanuts and edamame. Cook something non-spicy for Mu'er as a snack."

"Oh, I understand. I'll go back first." Then he said to Mu'er, "Mu'er, let's go pick peanuts with mother."

Mu'er put down the clip in her hand and came over with the small wooden bucket. "Here I am, mother."

Xu Han pushed Ze'er while taking the wooden barrel, and the three of them walked home together.

When he arrived, he didn't bring any tools and was carrying a large wooden barrel. Xu Han asked Mu'er and Ze'er to wait next to the peanut field while he went home to get the tools.

The soil in the ground was not very dry. Xu Han grabbed the peanut vines and gently lifted the peanuts out.

Xu Han put the peanut seedlings into a backpack and used a small rake to dig the peanuts out of the ground.

Mu'er also imitated Xu Han and picked up the peanuts that fell on the ground.

Xu Han peeled a fresh peanut. Each peanut was very plump, white and plump like a baby in swaddling clothes, and very pink and tender.

Xu Han pinched a fresh flower and put it into Mu'er's mouth, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Mu'er nodded and gave Xu Han one to eat as well. "It's delicious and sweet."

Xu Han chewed the peanuts and found them delicious. The sweet taste was completely different from dry peanuts. They were both sweet and crispy.

"Do you like it? If you like it, when I pick peanuts tomorrow, I'll leave some extra fresh peanuts for you to eat as a snack."

"Okay, give it to my brother too."

When Xu Han heard Mu'er say this, she immediately said seriously, "My brother is still young and he hasn't grown teeth yet. He can't eat this. Mu'er, you must not feed it to your brother secretly, okay?"

When Mu'er saw Xu Han's expression, she knew that this was something she absolutely couldn't do, otherwise her little butt would burst again, so she said solemnly, "Okay, I won't give it to my brother."

Ze'er, who was standing by, might have understood their conversation and was babbling in resistance.

Xu Han simply turned her head away, pretending not to see it, and continued to pick peanuts.

After pulling out a whole basket, the mother and her two children finally stopped and walked home together.

After arriving home, Xu Han sat under the eaves and began to pick peanuts. She put the picked peanuts into a leaky bamboo basket and then took it to the backyard to wash the peanuts.

Put the cleaned peanuts and edamame into the pot first and stew them. The edamame and peanuts will be more flavorful after soaking.

Xu Han also specially used a clay pot to make some spiced edamame and peanuts for Mu'er.

For the adults, we put more chili in the dish because the people in the family have a stronger taste for spicy food, and if we put less chili in, they wouldn’t be able to taste the spiciness.

After finishing all this, Xu Han took advantage of the evening to go to the vegetable garden outside to pick vegetables. When all the vegetables were picked, they all came back together.

We agreed to prepare some snacks tonight, so of course I have to do what I said.

Not only that, Xu Han also used the rice wine she had just made to cook a few rice wine dumplings for herself.

The glutinous rice balls are filled with dried wolfberries and red dates, which makes them look particularly delicious.

The Taoist priest couldn't wait and took a wine glass to pour rice wine. After filling the glass, he started drinking it on the spot.

He smacked his lips and said, "Well, this wine is good, but it's a little sweet, suitable for you women."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Zhao and Lu Chuan also came over with a cup each. Xu Han couldn't bear to watch them. "Can't you take the cups to the main hall and start drinking? Why are you all gathered here with such greedy mouths?"

Unexpectedly, none of them paid any attention to Xu Han and just started tasting rice wine, which made Xu Han so angry that she jumped to her feet.

Lu Chuan also said, "Yes, it's a little sweet, but the alcohol content shouldn't be high. I definitely think I can finish it by myself."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xu Han stopped talking and went to the main room with the food.

Drink if you want to, and finish if you think you can. Anyway, Xu Han once said that although rice wine tastes sweet, it has a strong aftertaste, and you can't blame yourself if you get drunk.

After the three of them drank a cup each, they took the jar of rice wine and went to the main room to eat.

Finally, Xu Han couldn't help but say, "This rice wine has a strong aftertaste, so don't drink too much."

The Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, and said nonchalantly, "Hahaha, girl, you underestimate our alcohol tolerance. This rice wine tastes just like sweet water, how can you get drunk?"

Xu Han looked at the few people, and just gave up, saying, "It's up to you. Anyway, I reminded you."

Xu Han now only hopes that they can listen to advice. If the three of them get drunk, she will be the one who suffers in the end.

Grandpa Zhao said as he drank the rice wine, "This rice wine tastes very smooth but a little sweet. It would be better if it wasn't too sweet."

While drinking the rice wine dumplings she made for herself, Xu Han explained, "This is the first fermentation, so the taste will be sweeter. We can ferment it a second time. The second fermentation of rice wine will be much less sweet, and the alcohol content will be higher than the first fermentation."

"That's great. We'll try the second fermented rice wine in a few days."

Several people drank and chatted, and finally the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao started playing rock-paper-scissors. Although Lu Chuan had also drunk a lot, he still didn't dare to drink too much.

After all, my wife just said that this rice wine has a strong aftereffect and I can't get drunk, otherwise my wife will not be able to take care of three drunks by herself.

However, even though I thought so, this rice wine really didn't taste very alcoholic, so I couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Sure enough, Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest were playing guessing game when they felt more and more dizzy.

The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "What's going on? Why do I feel dizzy? Am I really drunk?"

"You know what, I feel a little dizzy too. High."

"What the girl said is true. This rice wine has a strong aftereffect! I thought this sweet rice wine could be intoxicating, so I drank a little too much unconsciously. I didn't expect it to be so strong. I can't take it anymore. I feel a little dizzy. I'm going to go back to sleep first."

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he stood up unsteadily. He stood up a little too quickly and almost fell down.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan, who was standing by, quickly supported the Taoist priest and sent him to the room.

When I came back again, Grandpa Zhao had fallen asleep on the table.
