Chapter 432 New Year’s New Plan (1)_1
The dark red wine slowly poured into the white porcelain cup, the contrast between red and white making it look all the more mysterious and noble.
Mo Qingze couldn’t hold back and was the first to ask, "Yanyan, what kind of wine is this? Its color and taste are so unique."
The others looked at their cups and then at Mo Yan, their faces filled with surprise as they waited for her answer. Only the three beasts sat calmly on the ground, waiting to be fed, because they had already had a taste!
"You all should try it first, and after you’ve tasted it, I will explain in detail," Mo Yan said with a teasing smile, skirting around the question.
Entranced by the alluring color in their cups, everyone had already been eager to taste. After her words, they said no more, lifted their cups, and took a small sip. Instantly, a sweet and yet somewhat strange flavor spread across their tongues.
Compared to the fruitiness of pear or peach wine, the strange aroma of this wine made it an unusual experience for those who were tasting it for the first time.
"This wine is brewed from a type of wild berry that grows in the mountain. The berries hang in clusters from the vines, with dozens of berries in each cluster, each berry no larger than a pigeon’s egg. They are green before they ripen and turn a purplish-red color when mature, juicy and sweet! Seeing they weren’t poisonous, I picked some and tried brewing them like I would with pears, and unexpectedly, it was a success."
Given that grapes were not available in the market and the grapevines in the orchard had yet to mature, Mo Yan offered the explanation she had thought of beforehand to avoid any suspicion from the crowd.
