Traveling through ancient times

Today is the day when the Xiao Gu family celebrates their new home. Outside the workshop, fellow villagers come. Some bring a few cabbages, some bring a few eggs, and at least some bring two kilograms of whole-grain flour, as a token of their thoughtfulness!

The dishes outside are not that rich, with six dishes and two soups, but the dishes are all served in bowls, including braised wild boar meat, chicken stewed with potatoes, spicy rabbit meat, mapo tofu, braised fish fillets, braised eggplant, meatball soup, and seaweed egg drop soup!

Although there are not many dishes, the main feature is that the portions are large and there are many meat dishes. All the villagers eat with their mouths drooling!

Gu Wenzhi's home.

The table is full of dishes: steamed Wuchang fish, blanched shrimp, Buddha jumps over the wall, steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork elbow...it makes people drool!

He Xiaojie and Xu Ziwei served the wine. They both worked in wealthy families and knew the rules well. After they poured wine for everyone, Gu Wenzhi raised his glass and said to Wu Shi:

"The magpie roosts on the southern branch, so it is the right time to move here. The door is full of new guests, and the home is full of joy."

"Thank you, sir and everyone, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and warm the pot for us brothers and sisters. I am very grateful. Without further ado, everyone enjoy your meal!

Sir... please! Uncles and brothers, please!"

Wu Shi smiled and raised his glass: "The new house welcomes thousands of blessings, and the new house has a new look.

The green mountains reflect the gate, and the spring breeze brings success. Congratulations! Let's drink together!"

Everyone congratulated. What Gu Dalian took out was the light-fragrance Moutai. The aroma of Moutai was fresh and pure. The floral and fruity scents had already made people impatient. Now, when they heard it, they clinked their glasses and took a sip.

Moutai has a mellow and delicate taste. The alcohol and water in the wine are fully integrated, so that the wine exudes a rich flavor on the tip of the tongue when it enters the mouth. It has both sweetness and a balance of sourness and bitterness, giving people a feeling of rich taste.

Everyone didn't bother to pick up the food with their chopsticks, but took another sip, with expressions of intoxication and satisfaction on their faces!

The aftertaste of Moutai is long and lasting, refreshing and mellow, with a hint of sweetness and sauce flavor, which makes people linger in the aftertaste.

The drinking culture has been passed down for thousands of years. The stories told on the table are warm and touching. Pure wine and friendship are all in the cup.

At the beginning, Zhao Weimin and Pan Hongxing were a little restrained, but after a glass of wine, they were chatting and laughing with everyone!

Everyone toasted and chatted happily, eating in peace!

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Dalian held up her glass of wine and said to Wu Shi:

"Brother County Magistrate, do you want to try the wine I drink? It has a unique flavor!"

Wu Shi noticed it just now and was willing to try it, so he said "Okay". He Xiaojie hurriedly took out a fine porcelain red wine glass, the same as the one in my Gu Dalian's hand. This was designed by Gu Dalian herself and made by Zhao Hui after many experiments!

After pouring half a cup, Wu Shi frowned. Is this little girl so stingy? She only pours half a cup of wine?

Gu Dalian hurriedly smiled and said:

"Brother County Magistrate, don't pour too much red wine. Do it like me!"

Gu Dalian demonstrated and explained:

"After pouring the wine into the glass, smell the aroma of the wine first, shake the glass counterclockwise to let the aroma of the wine fully develop, then smell it again, let the wine swirl in your mouth, and then swallow it slowly!"

"Brother County Magistrate, you try it!"

Wu Shi looked at the lively eyes, silently picked up the wine glass, and followed Gu Dalian's instructions step by step. After swallowing the wine, he waited for a moment before saying:

"The taste is delicious and smooth. The finish is tight and firm!"

He looked at Gu Dalian with a complicated expression and said:

“The taste is unique. I just feel that there are many layers in it, but I can’t put it into words. I can only sum it up in one sentence... it tastes good!”

Gu Dalian smiled triumphantly:

"What your sister and I took out are all top-notch. This thing is a treasure. If I hadn't known you were coming, I wouldn't have been willing to take it out!"

Hehe, just say that I am good to you, okay?

I don't want to be a green tea girl, but I want to hold on to a strong thigh. If I want to develop in Shannan County, I must hold on to this umbrella of protection!

Wu Datui: This girl really treats me as her own brother!

I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, and a little depressed!

He said, "I think your wine glasses are quite special. How about giving me a pair?"

Gu Dalian: This thick thigh is a bit like a sugar rooster. When you come, you have to pick up some hair to take away!

"Sure, no problem, this is designed by my sister herself!"

Both hosts and guests enjoyed the meal very much, and two cans of Moutai were served on each table.

Not everyone likes to drink red wine. Just one more can was served on the table, and Wu Shi, Wang Jie and the Gu brothers and sisters drank three cans!

Before leaving, Gu Dalian personally filled Wu's cup with two cans of Moutai, two cans of red wine, and two ceramic goblets!

He also asked Xu Xiushan and his brother to bring 20 cans of various canned foods, each weighing two kilograms, and asked Wu Shi to distribute some to everyone!

Everyone was a little drunk, and they put aside their usual superiority and said goodbye to Gu Wenzhi one by one!

Finally, they sent the beautiful county magistrate and his entourage back to the house, but unexpectedly, there were two resentful men in the house!

Pan Hongxing and Zheng Weimin looked at the two with resentment on their faces: "Dalian, this wine is really good!"

"Yes, yes, that red wine is good too!"

The two of them sang in unison, praising each other with their mouths, but their faces showed: Tell us how many cans you will give us!

Gu Dalian teased them intentionally: "Of course the wine is good, it was brewed by a wine fairy, my second brother and I begged for it after much persuasion!"

I won't even mention giving it to you, I'm just asking if you're in a hurry?

"Where did you get it? Let's go and talk to them!" Pan Hongxing asked hurriedly!

"Of course it's Yingdang Mountain, but whether you can find it or not is not certain! After all, there are countless snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains, and ordinary people can't get through it!"

The two of them immediately fell in dismay, and looked at the brother and sister with hope:

"Can we make a deal?"

Gu Wenzhi: "What?"

"Can you give us two cans of wine? Of course, four cans is also fine! We pay for it!"

Zheng Weimin asked hurriedly, "Can we use two bottles of that red wine?"

Gu Dalian laughed when she heard this:

"Grandpa Pan, Uncle Zheng, we were just teasing you... We've already prepared the wine for you! I'll have Xu Xiuhe help you carry it out later!"

Pan Hongxing and Zheng Weimin looked like they had found a treasure and were almost dancing with joy, just like a couple of little boys!

At this time, Gu Xiaolian brought little Gu Lun back and shouted as soon as she entered the door:

"Master, Master, I won't lie to you. You are my master, and I will definitely keep good things for you!"

But this sentence stirred up a hornet's nest. Zhao Langze, who came in right after, said:

"No, no, there's still me. I'm helping out outside today, but it's been hard work!"

"And Uncle Zhao, they all did their best!"

Gu Dalian rolled her eyes. "As for Shopkeeper Zhao, I'm prepared even if you don't say anything. As for you... hehe... you're a walking troublemaker!"

Zhao Langze was anxious: "You heartless girl, I didn't even have a good meal to help with the meal, and you actually said I was a troublemaker!"

"That ugly woman bumped into me and tried to rely on me. Did she think I was full of water in my head?"
