Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!
Chapter 206 It's all in the wine
There were thirteen people coming, and each of them had an extra backpack behind him.
Most people filled theirs with sweet potatoes, and some filled them with rabbits and chickens. Now the pens at home have been built, except for the livestock.
As for the two lambs, we'll have to wait a little longer.
Xu Wenyan told Zhou Jianye and his wife and Zhou Rong to go directly to the village in half a month and take the two sheep, bedding and other things with them.
Xu Wenyan took away everything he could, such as some bacon, dried vegetables, and tools. It was worth it for him to call so many people.
Because I carried a lot of things, I had to rest every half an hour. This time it took me more than an hour to get back than usual.
When the village came into sight, a colorful bird landed on Xu Wenyan's shoulder.
"Ruhua?" Xu Wenyan recognized the bird that scared everyone at once: "It's really you, where have you been these days? No, you are a girl."
Before Xu Wenyan could finish his words, he felt a weight on his right shoulder. Turning his head, he saw a parrot that was slightly smaller than a flower falling down.
Looking at the two parrots, Xu Wenyan also understood: "You are bringing someone to marry into the family, hahahaha."
Anyway, it’s good to be back.
After coming back, Xu Wenyan didn't rest much. He asked them to help tidy up the pool at the back. Although it was called a pool, there was actually only a little water.
Xu Wenyan started cooking.
Chen Sanlin took Luo Sanyuan and others to fetch water. The place where they fetched water was not far away. This well was used by several surrounding families who jointly contributed money.
Xiaoman took out the cattails and frog eggs he had brought back, and planted them in the pen when the water level was almost full. As for the rabbits and chickens he had brought back, Xiaohu put them all in the pen.
There were eight rabbits, four big ones and four small ones. There were more chickens, a total of thirteen. However, they looked a little listless after jumping around all the way.
Xiaohu immediately filled the trough with water, so there was no problem in surviving.
Originally, Xu Wenyan said that he wanted to make some desserts with sweet potatoes, but he didn't have any milk. After all, milk was a luxury in ancient times and not everyone could afford it.
In this case, you can only settle for the next best thing. First, peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into slices and steam them. Prepare three eggs and mix them with some baking soda. After the sweet potatoes are steamed, add the eggs and stir well.
Although this is not as fluffy and dense as adding milk, it can still be called a pastry in ancient times.
The dishes cooked afterwards were mainly spicy. We fried everything that could be cooked. After all, there were so many people that the table probably couldn’t accommodate them all.
"Lao Luo! Go back to the military tent and get some tables and chairs."
"Okay!" Luo Sanyuan pulled the two soldiers back and just went back to call Wang Zeren and the others over.
Then there was the wine. There were two large jars. With so many people coming, it would be good if each person could drink two bowls. Xu Wenyan opened the lid and carefully poured some out, then took a sip. It tasted very good, with a strong grape flavor and a little bitter.
The alcohol content is also appropriate. Like the wine that Wang Zeren brought before, I really don’t know how it was fermented to have such a high alcohol content.
Even women and children in ancient times could drink some of his wine.
Seeing Chen Sanlin coming in covered in mud and looking at him, Xu Wenyan waved at him: "Come here, Brother Chen."
"Ok?"
"Try it." Xu Wenyan picked up the bowl and gave the remaining wine to Chen Sanlin.
Then she looked at him expectantly: "How is it?"
"Hmm...very peculiar."
Looking at Xu Wenyan's slightly narrowed eyes, Chen Sanlin hurriedly said: "It's very fragrant, a little sweet, and although the wine taste is not strong, it tastes very smooth."
Xu Wenyan nodded, this is the right way to put it.
"Go in and change your clothes quickly. Your clothes are all covered in mud." Cleaning the pool was inevitable, and they continued to do so until the afternoon, when everyone finally sat down at the table.
There are two tables in total, and one table really can't accommodate everyone, and we can only sit outside, which is more spacious.
Xu Wenyan pushed the steamed pumpkin cake towards Wang Zeren. It was indeed thanks to him that things had gone so smoothly in the past six months.
"What is this?" Wang Zeren looked at the bright yellow pastry and for a moment thought it was some dyed steamed bun.
"You'll know after you eat it."
The moment the chopsticks picked up the thing, Wang Zeren's expression changed. How could it be so soft? It was much softer than the pastries made in Dianzhou Restaurant.
It was soft in the mouth, a taste he had never experienced before. Although it was not very sweet, the sweetness of the sweet potato was unique. After eating one, he brought the plate in front of him.
"Hey, Brother Xu, look at him." Xiaohu was originally looking forward to the new food made by Xu Wenyan. Looking at the look of that bastard, he must want to eat it all for himself.
Xu Wenyan pulled Xiaohu next to him and said, "Okay, I'll do it for you later."
Although he was very reluctant, Xiaohu did not dare to argue with Wang Zeren.
He passed out the wine jars, filling them for everyone, even the children took a sip: "I only have this much wine, so I won't go through all the complicated formalities. It's my honor to make friends with all of you this year. I haven't had many friends in my life, so I can call you all friends for now. Without further ado, my thoughts are all in the wine."
Xu Wenyan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Everyone else looked at him with concern. They all remembered the incident of him spilling the glass before.
When Xu Wenyan put down the cup, although he was a little embarrassed, fortunately he did not pour it out. Xu Wenyan poured himself another cup and asked everyone to toast.
Luo Sanyuan was the first to stand up: "Xu Wenyan, you are really the best person I have ever met, except for my parents and Brother Wang." He paused and couldn't think of anything else to say for the time being: "Come to Dianzhou when you have time in the future, and I will also do my best to be a good host."
"Since Brother Luo said that, I will naturally come to bother you when I have time." Xu Wenyan said with a smile.
"Hahahaha, I was just afraid you wouldn't bother me."
"Yes, Brother Xu, we are all waiting for you in Dianzhou, you must come." Xiao Liu's voice was a little choked. Although he had not been in contact with Xu Wenyan for a long time, he felt that he did not need to pretend to be an adult when he was with him.
Xu Wenyan will arrange everything, and all I need to do is be taken care of by him.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank for the second time since these troubled times.
"This wine is really good. What did Doctor Xu use to make it? It feels a bit like wild fruit or something." Zhao Shanhe savored it carefully. It was a bit sour, a bit sweet, and a little bitter, but still had the taste of wine.
"It's wild grapes, also called wine." As for what it is made of, there is nothing to hide. The technology is in our hands, and it is not easy for others to imitate.
Zhao Shanhe nodded in sudden realization. This Xu Wenyan was not only a good doctor, but also knew as much about rare and precious plants as himself. Now he could also make wine and cook. He was truly a remarkable man.
Everyone who had the meal was very satisfied, especially Wang Zeren. He looked at Xu Wenyan from time to time at the table. Her expression and smile fascinated him.
I heard that when I came, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin had been married for only half a year.
Maybe this is God's will.
