Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the wine store ushered in the day when the retort was poured.

Due to the warm weather in late autumn last year, the winemaking work actually did not start until the end of autumn and early winter. Therefore, all the processes were delayed by many days compared to last year, and the time to bring Tibetans back home was also delayed.After all, brewing wine depends on the weather, and there is no way to do it.

After finishing the last rice steaming this year, the rice steaming field was cleaned by Tibetans. Several apprentices rinsed the rice steamer in the courtyard, and the white cloth wrapped in steamed rice was also washed and dried to dry.

After Xia Yue finished cleaning, he came to the brewery again.The third barrel of Yunqi was the latest to start brewing in Tibet. The other wines have been put into the tank one after another in the past few days, and his Yunqi is still quietly staying in the big wooden barrel.

He scooped up a spoonful of mash, tasted it, and looked very serious.

"There are still some bubbles, this barrel of mash is really very energetic."

Xia Yue turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that Master Du had come behind him at some point.

Master Du smiled and nodded to him, and also took a sip of the mash. After being silent for a while, Master Du asked him, "How does Master Shao feel?"

The mash already has an obvious smell of wine, and the aroma is also very good, but it feels a little bit worse, Xia Yue hesitated, and said: "I think, we have to wait a few more days."

Wait a few more days, and the brewing of this barrel of wine will take more than [-] days.Master Du glanced at him and nodded.

"I think I'll be able to go to the trough in two days, but since Master Du thinks so, let's do what Master Du himself said. If Master Shao thinks there's no problem, just trust your own judgment."

Seeing Master Du's encouraging smile, Xia Yue's heart, which was still a little shaken, settled down.

After stirring the bucket full of his expected mash, Xia Yue stared at the mash in a daze for a while, and he didn't wake up until he heard the sound of Tibetans starting to eat from downstairs.

Realizing that it was getting late, he quickly put on his robe and hurried home.Shiyan was waiting for him for lunch today, so it would be bad if Fu Lang was hungry.

Today is the Lantern Festival. The weather has been good these days. Although it is still a bit cold, the gray clouds have cleared. There is no wind, nor rain or snow. I think we should be able to see a good moonlight at night.

"I heard that the cherry blossoms on the riverside open early this year. Shiyan, you still have to use a wheelchair when you go out. We won't go to the lantern tour. Eat some food in the afternoon and go out before it gets dark. Let's go to the riverside Enjoy the flowers. When it gets dark, let go of the river lanterns, and then go to see the lantern market, and have dinner outside."

After lunch, when coaxing her husband to take a nap, Xia Yue smiled and told him about her plan. Of course, Shi Yan's husband can say anything, but when he heard about viewing flowers, he was really interested.

Yunying was planted on the east bank, and Shiyan had never seen it before. Although he lives in the east of the city now, he doesn't go out much, mostly by car, and he really doesn't pay much attention to the flowers and trees beside the road.When her husband said that he would take her to enjoy the flowers, Shi Yan began to look forward to it, so she obediently closed her eyes and fell asleep earlier, so she could wake up earlier to see the flowers.

After coaxing Shiyan to sleep, Xia Yue hugged Fulang himself for a while.It's just that this light sleep is not very stable. He had a dream, and the dream was full of the smell and taste of the barrel of cloudy mash, lingering and lingering. Although it was not a nightmare, it also kept Xia Yue's spirit in a state of tension. inside.

When he finally opened his eyes, it was very quiet outside, maybe it was just past time, Xia Yue sighed deeply silently.I probably cared too much about the timing of going to the slot, and was forced to take a nap. Xia Yue felt that this was the first time that he was under such a great pressure, whether it was the previous life or this life.

Obviously I am still somewhat sure, I know that I have not made a mistake, but I am nervous and uneasy.Xia Yue lay motionless on the bed, letting his mind go blank.In a few days, he will be freed from this state in a few days, but how many days...

Master Du felt that he would be able to get into the slot the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but Xia Yue's judgment still had to wait, but he was a novice, so maybe it was correct to listen to the opinions of seniors.He admits that he is wavering, he is not so confident in himself, although he has a wealth of theoretical knowledge, but Xia Yue is very clear that in the matter of wine making, no matter how much theoretical knowledge, sometimes it is not as good as accumulated experience intuition.

Xia Yue was in a daze quietly, he felt that he still wanted to stick to his own ideas.Otherwise, let's see the situation the day after tomorrow. If the condition of the wine mash has really reached the most suitable state for going to the vat by then, then we can go to the vat at the time Master Du thinks.This kind of thing is not a comparison of winning or losing. It is inevitable that I am not as good as Master Du. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking of this, he finally felt a little more relaxed, and only then did he suddenly feel the steady breathing of the person beside him.He turned his head, looked at Shiyan who was sleeping soundly, and slowly smiled.It seems that it has been a while since he quietly watched Fu Lang's sleeping face as he is now.

Every morning, I hurried to the wine cellar. During the afternoon nap, either Shi Yan couldn't sleep well, or I had to get up and go to the wine cellar soon after lying down.Looking at Shiyan now, Xia Yue felt that this was really a peaceful and beautiful time.

Perhaps she could feel her husband's gaze even in her deep sleep. After a while, Shi Yan's eyelashes began to tremble, and then he gently opened his eyes.

Before Shi Yan could fully open his eyes, Xia Yue kissed his eyelids.

"Sanggong..." Shiyan obediently returned the kiss, feeling a little happy in her heart, sleeping very comfortably today, it's rare that the baby didn't make much trouble, Shiyan was in a good mood.

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Xia Yue also smiled at him, asked him how he slept, and felt relieved when he saw Fu Lang nodding his head.These days, Shi Yan's eyes are turning blue, even after taking a nap, Xia Yue feels very distressed, but there is no way to do anything for him, so he can only take a nap with Fu Lang as much as possible, and let him sleep for a while.

I don't know if it's because the baby understands Daddy's expectation of viewing the flowers. Today, Shiyan feels that the movements in her belly are relatively gentle. It seems that it is only showing the sense of presence, and it doesn't make Shiyan feel uncomfortable.

So after drinking the herbal tea specially made by Dr. Shen, Shiyan put on her cloak and hat, held the hand stove, was gently and carefully carried by her husband into the wheelchair, and pushed out the door to enjoy the flowers.Because Xia Yue didn't care about the love between husband and wife being watched, the servant and the attendant also went out.

There are not many cloud cherry trees on the riverside, about seven or eight. In previous years, the flowering period was at the end of January and the beginning of February. This year, it bloomed earlier. When Xia Yue pushed Shiyan and walked over, he could see a gorgeous deep pink on the river bank from a distance.

In fact, it was the first time Xia Yue saw this cloud cherry blossom. This flower was almost completely different from the cherry blossoms in his impression.In his previous life, his impression of cherry blossoms was only pale pink and snow white, and he had only seen single petals.These cloud cherry blossoms are all double petals of large flowers, which look very graceful.

Shiyan was pushed under the tree by her husband. When she looked up, the sky was almost covered, and the tree was full of flowers. Although there were less than ten trees, the branches and leaves were luxuriant and connected together, like clouds and clouds.

"Is it because of this that she was named Yun Ying?" Shi Yan was amazed, and couldn't help expressing the sigh in her heart.

Xia Yue smiled and covered him with a blanket, wrapped his stomach and legs, and said: "It says so in the book, if it is planted in groups, it must be more spectacular."

Shi Yan suddenly felt that he really wanted to see a large cloud of cherry blossoms, but he just thought about it and didn't dare to say it.He has recently realized very clearly that even if he said something casually, her husband seemed to take it to heart.It seems that if you want to eat something, as long as Dr. Shen says you can eat it, you can see it on the table the next day.Although Shiyan also felt that her husband would not be able to do something as exaggerated as planting a large cloud of cherry blossoms for himself, but he still didn't dare to speak.

Just seven or eight plants are already so amazingly beautiful, Shi Yan felt very satisfied, for a while, he stared blankly at Yun Ying, without making any sound.

The cloud cherry tree is not tall, so Shiyan didn't need to look up his head. He counted the flower clusters of cloud cherry blossoms with great interest, and found that there could be dozens of flowers in a bunch of flower clusters, and counted the petals of each flower.Xia Yue watched him amuse himself, with a smile on his face all the time.

The servant and the attendant were sitting on the ground beside them, holding back their laughter.The young wife of their family is fascinated by the flowers, while the young master is fascinated by the young lady. It's really interesting.

"What a pity." After watching for an unknown amount of time, Shi Yan suddenly tilted her head and sighed, quite regretfully.

Xia Yue had been looking at him, and didn't need to move at this moment, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yan pursed her lips, looked at her husband, frowned slightly, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Sister, bring me to enjoy the flowers next year, okay?" He said to Xia Yue, "Bring wine."

Xia Yue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.Indeed, it is a pity to enjoy flowers without wine.He smiled and promised Fulang that he would definitely bring him to enjoy flowers and wine next year.

Shiyan made an appointment with her husband and counted enough flowers, so she chatted with her husband while looking at the flowers.Her husband was very knowledgeable, and told him a few legends about Yunying. Shi Yan listened intently, and the servants and attendants at the side also leaned closer to listen.

By the time a few people came back to their senses, the sky had already darkened.

Seeing that there were already many people upstream, Xia Yue asked the boy to get the river lantern ready.The temperature will drop at night, Xia Yue took Shiyan's hand stove over, opened it and refilled the charcoal for him.

It got dark quickly, and not long after, there were lights flickering and drifting downriver.When the boy bought the river lantern, the surrounding area was already dark, but the street market not far away was brightly lit.

After lighting the river lantern, Shiyan was picked up by her husband and placed by the river. He leaned slightly, and with his waist protected by her husband, he reached out and put the river lantern into Hanoi.Xia Yue also set up a river lantern afterwards.

The two quietly watched the river lantern drift away until they could no longer see it.As if recalling what happened last year and today, Shi Yan's face suddenly turned red. When Xia Yue looked away, he happened to see that blush, reflected in the soft light of the river lamp that kept flowing past beside him, which looked very moving.

Xia Yue kissed her tenderly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the servant and the servant covering their eyes and turning around.

The two exchanged warm kisses by the river, and the atmosphere was peaceful and intoxicating.

It's just that Xia Yue didn't dare to let Shiyan stay by the river, the water was too cold at night, not to mention the two of them hadn't eaten yet.He carried Shiyan back into the wheelchair, tidied the blanket and clothes for him, then called the two who were still doing no evil, and the group walked to the brightly lit place.

Dinner was served at Xijiuzui, Shiyan ate very happily, and secretly drank her husband's wine during the dinner, although he obediently vomited it out in the end, but he was satisfied to taste the taste.

Xia Yue had nothing to do with this husband who seemed to be mischievous, and Xun was neither indulging nor conniving. After struggling for a while, he finally compromised.Thinking that perhaps viewing the flowers aroused Shi Yan's greed for wine, since he obediently won't drink it, let him satisfy his hunger with the taste——
