After time travel, I ate glutinous rice bran in ancient times

The next day, Xiao Qi's calligraphy and painting shop was closed all morning. It was not until lunchtime that Jin Baochai and the painter Xiao Qi came out to open the shop.

"Oh, what's wrong with Sister Jin? Did she sleep in today? She usually gets up early to open the door." The eldest sister saw it and laughed.

Wang Yugui looked across and saw that Jin Baochai looked in good spirits and was chatting and laughing with the painter Xiao Qi.

I thought: It seems that the couple have really reconciled!

Wang Yugui laughed: "Why do you care so much about other people's affairs?"

"Hey, brother, I was just saying it casually. I saw that Painter Xiao Qi also had a smiling face today." The eldest sister laughed.

Wang came out and saw it, and she also laughed: "Hey, Painter Xiao Qi has been quarreling for several days, it's time for them to reconcile!"

"It's good to make peace with each other. How can a couple keep quarreling? They won't be able to live like that!"

"Haha, yes, mom, you are right," Wang Yugui laughed.

The mother and her two children were talking in the store when Chunsheng and his brother suddenly appeared in front of the store.

The two brothers were carrying loads on their shoulders, bringing a lot of things in large and small bags.

"Hey, Chunsheng, Shuisheng, what are you two doing? Are you here to give me a gift?" Wang Yugui saw it and smiled.

Chunsheng also smiled: "Aunt, Brother Yugui, we are here to give you gifts!"

"It's almost Chinese New Year, my mother asked us to give her a holiday gift."

"Yes, auntie, it's Brother Yugui. We are late because we have to wait for the boat with the villagers to come. We have arrived just now," Shuisheng also said with a smile

When Wang Yugui heard this, he realized that they really came to give gifts, and he hurriedly smiled and welcomed them in: "Oh, my eldest brother-in-law, you are taking advantage of our eldest and second sisters again."

"Chunsheng, Shuisheng, come, come, come, come in quickly!"

When the eldest sister heard this, she just smiled and silently ran to help Chunsheng take the things to the backyard.

The Chunsheng brothers really sent a lot of things this time: a small jar of glutinous rice wine, two big roosters, a basket of salted duck eggs, a large piece of pork, two big grass carps, and some cakes to suit the occasion.

"Hey, Chunsheng, Shuisheng, why did you give me so many gifts? Just take one or two as a token of your appreciation.

No need to spend so much money." Wang smiled as she watched them take things inside.

Chunsheng smiled: "Aunt, there's nothing special, just some home-cooked food."

"This jar of glutinous rice wine is brewed by us. I remember that Brother Yugui loves to drink glutinous rice wine!"

"It just so happened that our family got some glutinous rice this year, so my mother asked us to learn how to make New Year wine from the village master."

"Oh, Chunsheng, no wonder my mother praised you for your good memory. You even remembered that I like to drink glutinous rice wine." Wang Yugui laughed after hearing this.

Then he said: "Thank you very much, you two are so thoughtful!"

Then he looked at the piece of pork and said, "Hey, why did you two spend money to buy meat?"

"Yes, Chunsheng, Shuisheng, why are you still spending this money? At the end of the year, meat is much more expensive than usual. It's not cost-effective to buy meat now," Wang said hurriedly.

He added, "Aunt has meat at home. She is afraid that the price of meat will go up during the New Year, so she has pickled a lot of bacon in advance!"

Chunsheng and Shuisheng both laughed when they heard this. Chunsheng said, "Aunt, if you have it at home, it's yours. If we send it, it's ours. It's different!"

"Yes, auntie, my mother said that we should not lose etiquette," Shuisheng also laughed.

The eldest sister looked at the two roosters and asked, "Brother Chunsheng, did you buy these two roosters too?"

"No, sister, these two roosters are raised by our family," Chunsheng smiled.

He added: "This summer my mother caught twenty chicks and brought them back. She raised sixteen of them, six hens and ten roosters."

"I specially saved two roosters to fatten them up so that they can be given as holiday gifts!"

"Oh, Chunsheng, this chicken should be kept for your family to eat during the New Year." Wang heard this and said hurriedly.

Then he laughed and said, "My aunt's family is raising chickens this year too. Look, they are all in the yard. There are even two big roosters that haven't been killed yet!"

"Brother Yugui said that it is better to kill the fish right when you are ready to eat it, so that it will taste delicious!"

"Haha, Mom, what are you talking about? It's as if I really like roosters." Wang Yugui laughed when he heard this.

Wang also laughed when she heard this: "Oh, mother, I'm afraid you are getting too old and are going a little too far."

"What mom meant was that we still have two roosters at home, so Chunsheng and his brother don't need to send them!"

"Mom, what we have is what we have, and what they gave as a gift is what they gave as a gift. They are different. Why are you being so polite?" the eldest sister interrupted with a smile.

Wang Yugui also laughed: "Yes, mother, don't be polite anymore, just accept the gifts, after all I have two good sisters, haha"

After saying this, he looked at Wang and said, "Mother, if you feel sorry for your two sons-in-law, just give them more gifts in return!"

"Oh, okay, okay, mother knows." Wang listened and nodded and smiled.

Having said that, he hurried to the kitchen to clean up.

In the evening, during dinner, Wang Yugui specially tasted the glutinous rice wine given by the Chunsheng brothers.

"Oh, Chunsheng, Shuisheng, this glutinous rice wine is really well made, and tastes very mellow, better than the ones sold on the street." Wang Yugui praised it highly after drinking it.

Wang also nodded: "Homemade glutinous rice wine is purer. It tastes sweet and sticky to your lips. The ones sold on the street have too much water in them and taste much less tasty!"

"That's right. We have this jar of glutinous rice wine, which can be sold outside by mixing it with water. We will have three jars by then." The eldest sister also laughed.

Chunsheng smiled: "In fact, you can tell the quality of the wine by drinking it, but the kind I brew myself is more expensive than the ones sold on the street!"

"If I had known that you two could make wine, I would have sent some glutinous rice over so that you could help me make more wine," Wang Yugui said with a smile as he drank.

Chunsheng smiled and said, "Brother Yugui, this is actually the first time for both of us to learn how to make wine from the village master!"

"Yes, glutinous rice is very precious. The chefs in our village only open the greenhouse to make glutinous rice wine once at the end of the year." Shuisheng also laughed.

Wang Yugui asked hurriedly after hearing this: "Oh, then the winemaker in your village, doesn't he usually make wine?"

"He also makes liquor, but he makes soju, which he mainly drinks himself, and sometimes he goes from street to street to sell some," Shuisheng said.

Wang Yugui was quite interested: "This chef makes good glutinous rice wine. I wonder how his shochu tastes?"

"Oh, the soju he makes tastes pretty good. People in our village love to drink it," Chunsheng said.

He added: "The wine he makes sells very well. It's sold out in one round."

"Yes, this master is very good at making wine. Even the rich Lu family asked him to help them make wine!" Shuisheng said with a smile

Wang Yugui was surprised when he heard this: "Ah, the wealthy Lu family invited him to make wine?"

"Yes, this master is actually an uncle of our family, named Lu Qingquan. His family is good at making wine, and his brewing skills are inherited from his ancestors." Chunsheng nodded.
