Chapter 317 Delicious Red Wine
"Yeah, I didn't expect that they would become a couple. Uncle Chen doesn't hunt anymore, and after he gets married, I guess he won't come to our farm to work anymore. It just so happens that he bought a few acres of land. If he wants, he can buy more land and plant fruit trees in the future. I'll harvest them all to make milk tea." Shen Wanning continued.
"Let's wait until they get married and see what they plan to do!"
Day and night alternate, and soon, it's a new day.
Shen Wanning and Aunt Zhang took a carriage to Shi Yuqi's house. Shen Wanning helped to move down all the things for proposing marriage, and the two went to Shi's house to propose marriage.
Because they had discussed it in advance, the poet did not act pretentiously and agreed quickly.
Considering their age, the wedding was scheduled for the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month of this year. Getting married before the Chinese New Year would allow Shi Yuqi to spend the holiday with Chen Liehu.
After the wedding date was set, Hunter Chen began to prepare for the wedding. Aunt Zhang returned to Daqing Village, ready to have a good chat with her sister-in-law about this gossip and let everyone know about Hunter Chen's happy event.
Shen Wanning went to Fuzhou for a few days to check out Zuihongzhuang's business performance and look at last month's account books.
She was quite indifferent to business matters. It was mainly because now, unlike when she first arrived, she couldn't even get enough to eat, and she didn't have any high-end consumption, so she didn't place that much importance on money.
After finishing things here, I went back to the county town for a few days. I checked on the milk tea shops there, and also looked after the various things on the farm. The corn, in particular, had grown a lot taller and looked like it would be ripe soon.
Mrs. Xu and Lin Dashun had already planted tea trees nearby. However, they had just been planted this year, so they estimated that the tea could be harvested next year or the year after.
It was already mid-August when Shen Wanning returned to Daqing Village.
As soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to go to the warehouse to see the wine she had brewed.
After so much time has passed, the wine must have been brewed.
The three children happened to be coming back from school and followed her to look at the wine. Curious Yue Mingzhu also followed them.
Because Shen Wanning had said before that wine is sweet and can be drunk by women and children, the three little ones couldn't wait to try it.
As soon as Shen Wanning opened the lid of the wine jar, a faint aroma of wine wafted out. It seemed that the wine was already brewed.
Different from the traditional strong wine aroma, the taste of wine is relatively light, and you can even smell a sweet smell.
"Aunt, you said last time that we can drink this wine, right?" Lin He asked, pointing to the wine in the wine jar.
"You can drink, but drink in moderation, otherwise you'll get drunk easily if you drink too much." Shen Wanning replied.
Lin He said with a playful smile, "Then can I try it later? I'll just try a little and won't drink too much."
"I don't have the final say on this. Your grandma has to decide. If you're not afraid of your milk, then go ahead and drink it." Shen Wanning raised her eyebrows and smiled.
Lin He curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll tell you after I ask your mother."
"Go and get your grandfather's wine jug. I'll fill it up and everyone can have a taste when we have dinner." Shen Wanning gently pushed Lin He.
Lin He turned and walked out, and the others followed him out. They would only be in the way here, there was nothing they could do.
After a while, Lin He brought the wine jug, and Shen Wanning scooped out some wine and poured it into the jug.
After putting the lid back on the wine jar, he walked out with the wine jug.
"Hey, Wan Ning, is the wine ready?" Xu asked after putting the food on the table in the yard.
"Yes, it looks like it's ready. Let's try some each later." Shen Wanning replied.
"Xiaohe, go get my wine glass." Lin Dashan gave an order as soon as he heard that the wine was brewed.
Lin He walked into the main room and simply took out all the wine glasses from the cabinet. They would need them to drink later anyway.
When it was time to eat, when everyone gathered around the table, Lin He placed a small wine glass on each person's table.
He was afraid that Aunt Zhang would not let him drink, so he prepared it early. That way, when Shen Wanning poured the wine into everyone's glass, he could drink it without asking Aunt Zhang.
Shen Wanning saw through his little trick, but didn't expose him. Instead, she poured a glass of wine into everyone's cup. However, she only poured half a glass into the three little ones and Yue Mingzhu's cups, fearing that they would get drunk.
Lin Jingcheng looked at the dark red wine in the glass and felt a little magical. "Oh, this wine is really the same color as grapes, purple-red."
"Yes, this is the first time we have seen wine of this color. It's very strange. I don't know what it tastes like." Aunt Zhang continued.
"Everyone, sit down first and try it. If it tastes good, we can buy some more grapes and brew it for ourselves." Shen Wanning took the lead in picking up the glass, ready to clink glasses with everyone.
Lin He quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Shen Wanning's.
Then, after everyone clinked their glasses together, they picked up the wine glasses, took a small sip to taste the flavor, and then drank the rest of the wine in one gulp.
"Wow, it tastes good, really delicious." Xu was the first to praise.
Aunt Zhang nodded in agreement. "Yes, I don't like drinking, but I think this wine tastes really good. Wan Ning said that this wine is good for women, so we can all drink more."
Mrs. Wen nodded slightly, "I like this sweet wine, too."
Shen Wanning smiled slightly, "Since you all say this wine is delicious, I'll brew more."
Lin He immediately responded, "I agree. I like this wine, too. Grandpa's wine is too spicy, I don't like it, but Auntie's wine is not only sweet and delicious, but the color is also very beautiful."
"You little greedy kid, go away, get out of here. Children are not allowed to drink alcohol. Today is the first time your aunt brews wine, so she made an exception and let you drink it. From now on, unless it is an important day, you three children are not allowed to drink alcohol." Aunt Zhang taught them a lesson.
Lin He lowered his head. "Okay then. When I grow up, I'm going to drink the wine my aunt brews every day. My aunt said you can't drink milk tea every day because it's bad for your health. But since wine is good for your health, I can drink it every day, right?"
"Okay, of course. But you have to grow up first. For now, just study hard and don't think too much! Be good." As she said that, Shen Wanning gently rubbed his face a few times.
Lin Jingcheng put down the glass. "Yes, this wine tastes sweet, so it might be more suitable for women. We men still prefer spicy drinks. If it is spicier and has the sweetness of grapes, men will like it more."
