Chapter 51

Du Xiaoli waited outside the door. After a while, he heard sister Hong's voice, and then saw her appear at the back door.

"You girl, why didn't you tell me you were coming today?" sister Hong took Du Xiaoli's hand and asked, "what's the matter with you today?"

"It's nothing," said Du Xiaoli, smiling at sister Hong. "Tomorrow is not the Mid Autumn Festival. Come to the city today to buy something and bring a jar of wine to his wife."

"Wine?" sister Hong didn't expect that Du Xiaoli came to deliver a jar of wine. Will there be a shortage of wine in the hall county magistrate's house?

Du Xiaoli nodded and said, "this is my own wine. Now I can drink it, so I want to send a jar to my wife."

"Wine, what kind of wine is this?" asked sister Hong.

"Grapes, um, are also a kind of fruit wine," Du Xiaoli explained. "The alcohol of this fruit wine is not high. Even pregnant women can drink less."

"Really?" sister Hong took several people to the main courtyard and asked Du Xiaoli and Luo Qi to wait outside. She went in with her wine.

Li Xuemei is chatting with her sister Li Xueqing at this time. Since she was pregnant, Li Xueqing often came to see her. Seeing that sister Hong came in with a jar of wine, she said, "didn't you go to see that girl? Why did you bring a jar of wine?"

Sister Hong blessed Li Xuemei and said, "madam, this is what Xiaoli sent to her. She said it was the Mid Autumn Festival tomorrow. Bring me a jar of wine made by herself."

"Wine? What kind of wine is that?" Li Xueqing was interested in the wine.

Li Xueqing is only ten years old this year. She looks like her sister Li Xuemei. Li Fu is the richest man in Zhou county, because his family has the largest winery in Zhou county. Almost all the wine in Zhou county and nearby cities is brewed from his winery.

Li Xueqing's father Li Chi did well in the mall, but he had only two daughters and no son. The eldest daughter, Li Xuemei, gave a house to sun Zhengxu, who died his wife, and became the wife of the county magistrate. He didn't marry the two daughters, but found a man to become a burden. Now the winery is run by his daughter and son-in-law.

So as soon as she heard about wine, Li Xueqing immediately became interested.

"Xiaoli said it was a kind of fruit wine made from grapes. She said it was low in alcohol. Even if her wife was pregnant, she could drink some." red sister replied.

"Fruit wine?" said Li Xuemei. "I've never heard of it."

"Sister, why don't we open it and try it?" said Li Xueqing.

"You're greedy when you see the wine." Li Xueqing said with a smile, "come on, get the wine glass."

Soon someone sent two wine glasses. Li Xueqing couldn't wait to open the seal. A faint smell of wine came to her face, mixed with the smell of grapes. She carefully poured out the wine and looked at the red wine with doubts in her eyes.

"How is the color of this wine red?" Li Xuemei said, looking at the wine in the glass.

"It's really red!" compared with Li Xuemei's doubt, Li Xueqing's expression is much more excited.

"Do you know this wine?" Li Xuemei asked, looking at her sister's excitement.

"Last time I went to the capital with my husband, I heard that there was a kind of red wine in the western regions. It was tribute wine, which only royalty could enjoy." Li Xueqing said, "the boss Qian who was with us didn't know where to get the altar, and we were able to taste it. If this was that kind of wine, our winery would be rich!"

"Look at your shining eyes." Li Xuemei said with a smile, "let the servants drink first. What if the wine can't be drunk? After all, it was made by a little doll."

"No, No." Li Xueqing waved and said, "I only need to smell the wine to know if I can drink it. Don't worry, it's okay."

With that, she took her cup and took a sip slowly.

"How about that wine?" Li Xuemei asked.

Li Xueqing tasted it carefully and said, "no, it's not. This wine is not as strong as that wine, and the taste is different. Drinking it has a faint smell of fruit, which must be the so-called taste of grapes. Sister, it tastes good. You can taste it."

"I'd better forget it," said Li Xuemei, reaching out and touching her stomach. Don't eat the unclear things. In case something happens, she won't have time to regret it.

"Well, that's right." Li Xueqing also thought of it, then rubbed it with a smile to Li Xuemei and said, "sister, you can give me half of the wine, OK?"

"You girl, you are still the same as when you were a child." Li Xuemei patted her hand and said, "take it if you like. Anyway, I can't drink the wine. It tastes so light, and your brother-in-law won't like it. He likes it stronger."

"Thank you, sister. I knew you loved me, hee hee." Li Xueqing said with a smile.

"You!" Li Xuemei looked at Li Xueqing helplessly. Now there are really few good sisters like them. It's good for her to maintain such a relationship. She said to sister Hong, "go and take a box of moon cakes they sent to the girl, and then tell her what she wants. I'll take it."

"Yes, madam." sister Hong blessed herself and went out to the side room to take a box of moon cakes. Du Xiaoli and Luo Qi waited outside the yard. After a long time, they came out with their things. Seeing Du Xiaoli, they said, "Madam said she took your heart, but now she is meeting her sister, so she can't see you. This is the moon cake given to you by madam." Du Xiaoli took the moon cake and said, "thank you, madam." "let's go, I'll take you out." sister Hong said. "Uh huh." Du Xiaoli left the main hospital with sister Hong. She didn't want her wife to meet her, so she felt nothing. The officials and people of feudal society! After leaving Taiyuan Prefecture, Du Xiaoli drove to the market and bought a basket full of chicken feet, duck tongue and other vegetables. Lenger looked at Du Xiaoli's strange pot and bought a lot of vegetables, but each quantity was not much. He asked suspiciously, "what are you going to get to eat?" "you won't know tomorrow night." Du Xiaoli said mysteriously, "now I tell you, what's new?" Er - that's right, but he still itched and itched in his heart. Do you want to know, swollen and broken?! Back in the village, when Du Xiaoli moved the ingredients to Niujing's house, everyone's reaction was similar to lenger. Ji Liufeng asked the same question as lenger and got the same answer from Du Xiaoli. Others gave up. "Brother Xiaoyi, here is the rest of the silver." Du Xiaoli handed Han Mingyi the rest of the money in a small bag. The bag was sewn with small rags she found herself. Because the first two bags are at the bottom, the small purse is fairly passable.
