Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

After lunch, several children took a nap on their own initiative.

Lao Yang, Li Dabao, Lao San, Nan Yi and Liu Guozheng were sitting under the tree. On the table was a plate of peanuts and a plate of cold pig ears. They were tasting the rice wine that Liu Guozheng had brought and the millet rice wine that he got from Wancheng, Henan Province.

Wancheng (Nanyang in the parallel world) millet wine is also known as "red millet wine", which is brewed from "red wine valley". This kind of grain unique to Wancheng has a red husk when it matures.

This rice wine is made from millet as the main raw material and is naturally fermented through traditional techniques. It has a unique aroma and flavor. The mellow taste of millet rice wine is due to the nutrients and unique aroma of millet itself, and the pure original taste of rice wine is ensured through careful handwork and unique craftsmanship during the brewing process. After drinking millet rice wine, you can feel its sweet and mellow fragrance, which is moderate and peaceful, refreshing, refreshing and refreshing. In addition, the color of millet rice wine is crystal clear and bright, which further enhances its sensory experience.

Millet wine not only tastes mellow, but also has certain nutritional value. It is rich in a variety of amino acids, vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial to human health. In the brewing process of millet wine, not only the nutrients of millet are retained, but also more substances beneficial to the human body are produced through fermentation, making this wine not only delicious, but also has the effect of health preservation.

It is said that Fan Zhongyan's good friend, Teng Zijing, the governor of Yuezhou, sent an envoy to Dengzhou to ask him to write an inscription for the rebuilt Yueyang Tower, and attached a painting of "Late Autumn in Dongting Lake". That night, Fan Zhongyan treated the envoy with yellow wine, and when he was drunk, he sat at his desk in the Chunfeng Hall of Huazhou Academy, spread out paper and wrote in one go, and wrote the famous "Yueyang Tower Inscription".

In his previous life, Liu Guozheng loved to drink it. In winter, he drank it warm; in summer, he drank it iced, especially iced Sprite mixed with rice wine, which was even better. Students who are interested can try it, both men and women are welcome.

"Guozheng, where did you find this fine wine?"

Yang Youde was having a great time today, with wine and meat, a life he could never have dreamed of before!

"I bought it from the black market in Sijiu City the day before yesterday."

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Guozheng said casually.

"Brother Zheng, doesn't that mean it will be hard to get the drink in the future?"

Since it was obtained from the black market, there must not be much. Thinking of this, Li Dabao quickly drank another bowl. Yes, it was a bowl, a small black bowl made of ceramic. Usually, this kind of bowl is used to make buckle bowls.

After eating some peanuts, Liu Guozheng said, "It's hard to say, maybe we can meet again in the future."

This thing is easy to solve. Just get a few jars from the second world from time to time and push them directly on the black market. At worst, you can try to brew a batch in the village next year. It won’t work this year because it’s winter soon and the climate is not suitable.

"Brother Zheng, I'm back."

Erlang was in front with a big smile on his face, and Li Xiujuan was following behind with her head down, looking a little embarrassed, because they heard the villagers' discussions and their faces turned red.

"Hurry up, Erlang, you have to serve three bowls first."

Li Dabao moved another bench from the side and got two small black bowls.

"Is this wine?"

Erlang couldn't believe that the bright and crystal liquid in the bowl was wine. It looked good and didn't smell spicy.

"You won't know until you try it."

Li Dabao poured wine for Erlang and the other man.

"Ok?"

"Sweet?"

"Haha, I like it."

Erlang was so excited that he finished a bowl. He said proudly, "Another bowl."

"Haha."

Li Xiujuan also took a sip and felt good, so she finished it in one gulp, then said, "I'll go see Xiaolong and the others."

"Erlang, serve Comrade Li Xiujuan a bowl of fish chunks and two steamed buns."

"it is good."

Don't be fooled by his name Erleng. In fact, he knows very well that this is for Li Xiujuan's reputation.

Li Xiujuan held the bowl and did not go to where Xiaolong and the others were taking a nap, but went to the construction site. After all, everyone there was from their village, both men and women, and they were all acquaintances.

"Erlang, is this wine to your taste today?"

When all the dishes were served, Nan Yi asked.

"It's sweet and delicious."

Wang Erleng was very satisfied with this millet wine.

"It tastes good, so drink more."

After saying that, Li Dabao filled his glass again.

The third brother didn't say anything either. He was not a talkative person. He ate while others drank, and they clinked glasses with each other from time to time.

Yang Youde: "The wine is good, and the fish is good too."

"Mmm, fresh and tender."

The third brother rarely said anything.

"Master Nan's cooking skills are also good."

Li Dabao said this and clinked glasses with Nan Yi.

"Yes, yes, Master Nan, let's make one."

Erlang had already drunk three bowls and was feeling the aftereffects. He couldn't drink alcohol to begin with, and if the rice wine wasn't very sweet, he wouldn't have been able to finish a single bowl.

"Come on, do it."

Nan Yi was also not vague. They were all people who drank alcohol frequently. He could drink three or five bowls of rice wine with an alcohol content of 11 or 12%.

(Special note: A bowl of wine in a small black ceramic bowl probably only holds about 3 taels.)

"Brother Zheng, can you drink too much of this sweet wine?"

"Are you feeling a little dizzy?"

After drinking three bowls of wine, Erlang couldn't hold on any longer. After all, he was not good at drinking.

"Then drink less and eat more vegetables."

"Yes, yes, Erlang, stop drinking and eat your food."

Since he was already feeling the effects of drinking, they naturally wouldn't let him drink anymore. It couldn't be said that drinking meant knocking down a few people every time.

"Okay, guys, I won't drink then."

"You guys drink slowly too."

Erlang also understood that drinking too much would not be pleasant, and that it was good to drink in moderation. He decided to concentrate on eating. The grilled fish cubes were very fragrant, and the pork intestines were so greasy that his mouth was full of oil. The cold beef was also fresh and tasty, chewy and delicious.

The remaining few people were of course not in a hurry. They had nothing to do today anyway. Liu Guozheng also said that today was the Double Ninth Festival, so they could take a day off.

After drinking for a while, Nan Yi suggested leaving because he had to go to work tomorrow. By the way, this guy is a chef in a machine repair factory, which is neither far nor close to here. Anyway, every time he has a break or when he is in a bad mood because of someone's bullying, he will come here to drink.

Nan Yi left with great satisfaction. When he left, he took a fish and a braised pig's head with him, which was enough for him to eat for a week.

“This is life.”

Yang Youde sighed. This time his eyes were just red, but he didn't cry.

"Brother Zheng, someone is looking for you."

Li Xiujuan brought a few people over.

"Great nephew."

"Cousin?"

"..."

Everyone was stunned. No one thought that Liu Guozheng would have such a relationship. He looked very elegant. He wore a straight Zhongshan suit. He looked like a cadre, not a young one at that.
