Chapter 46 - 046 Serving Wine
Tian Xinhua calculated that they steamed one hundred catties of sorghum and ended up with about ninety catties of liquor. Tian Sisi thought it was probably because they didn’t add the Jade Liquid from the Jade Pond, but these ninety catties of liquor already thrilled the Old Man and Xinhua. Previously, the wine master could only produce about fifty catties of liquor from one hundred catties, but now Ah Nan and Xinhua could produce ninety catties, and the quality of the liquor was still so good. Truly, heaven blesses the Tian Family!
Granny Zhao was so happy she couldn’t stop chanting Buddhist scriptures. Seeing that it was still early, Xinhua thought of distilling another vat. Tian Sisi gave him a look and said sweetly, "Brother Xin Hua, let’s go to the town later to find uncle and invite him over for dinner, so the whole family can eat and drink together tonight."
Xinhua slapped his forehead, realizing Ah Nan was more thoughtful. Now that the wine was brewed, they needed to think about how to turn it into money. They definitely needed uncle’s help. He hurriedly got dressed and excitedly pushed the cart to the town. The Old Man reminded from behind, "Just invite your uncle over."
The Old Man watched the two youths arrange everything like adults, not interfering, only reminding at critical moments. He believed children needed to experience things to grow up wisely. Although he doted on Ah Nan, he would be happier if Ah Nan could stand on her own. That way, he and his wife could rest easy.
"Grandpa, Granny, I’ll take out some meat later. Let’s cook more delicious dishes tonight so the family can have a good meal," said Tian Sisi, tilting her little face up.
"Good, Ah Nan, take out some meat, and I’ll start preparing the dishes now," Granny Zhao replied nimbly as she put on her apron to prepare dinner.
Only after Granny Zhao walked away did the Old Man quietly ask, "Ah Nan, this liquor seems different from the last batch you brought?"
"Of course, it’s different. The last batch was brewed by Grandpa Bai Yuan and contained tonic herbs. Drinking it could prolong life, but this batch is brewed by myself without any medicinal herbs, so the taste is definitely a lot worse," Tian Sisi whispered in explanation, intentionally describing the wine mixed with Jade Liquid as if it was brewed by the white ape.
