The whole family stayed at home, sitting around the kotatsu, it was warm and not cold at all.

With nothing to do, Chu Changfeng taught the three little ones to study and recognize words.

I've been busy these days and haven't had much chance to teach them. Now that I have some free time, it's a good chance to teach them.

The three little ones studied very seriously.

Lin Zheng and Shen Zhi were making clothes next to each other. Although Shen Zhi's skills were not good, he had good design ideas and gave Lin Zheng a lot of suggestions.

As she learned by herself, she was able to make a few pieces of clothing, and she did a pretty good job.

Chu Xiao, a lazy man, had nothing to do, so he just ate pork jerky and felt hot all over.

He had never felt such a warm winter!

What a nice day.

Mumu was concentrating on writing, and as he was writing, he suddenly smelled a strange sweet fragrance.

He blinked and looked around curiously.

But there is nothing in this house that smells so good.

Scratching his head in confusion, he sniffed and searched, and slowly, he found that the smell came from under the table.

He squatted down curiously and put his little head under the hot table. This time the smell was stronger.

And the source of this smell... He looked at the pot in the corner.

I crawled over and smelled it, and was almost dizzy from the fragrance!

He was so excited that he tried to stand up, but his head hit the table with a bang, and the pain made him see stars.

"what happened?"

Everyone leaned over quickly, "Mumu, what were you doing under the table? Did you hit your head? Does it hurt?"

"Mumu, come out quickly, don't play in there, there's a stove in there, be careful or your clothes will get burned."

Mumu rubbed his head, grimaced in pain, and quickly backed out with his butt sticking out.

Shen Zhi touched his head and said, "Did you hit him hard? You naughty boy, have you learned your lesson this time?"

Mumu smiled foolishly, "It doesn't hurt..."

Chu Jinnian: "Mumu, what were you doing just now? Why didn't you write anything?"

"Mom!" Mumu finally remembered something important. "I just smelled a really nice aroma! It's in that pot!"

He pointed under the table, "That's the pot that mom put in there a few days ago! It smells so good! I've never smelled anything so good!"

Everyone was stunned.

Shen Zhi suddenly realized it. She patted her head and said with a smile: "I almost forgot about it!"

Everyone looked at her with burning eyes, "What is that?"

"Is it delicious?"

Chu Jinnian had already crawled under the table. After a moment, he excitedly uttered, "Mom!! It's sweet and fragrant! It's really delicious!"

"Wow!! It smells so good!"

Mumu: "Right, right? I smelled it just now!"

Everyone bent down. They didn't pay attention just now, but as soon as they bent down, the strong fragrance hit their noses.

Lin Zheng: "Where does this smell come from? I smelled it yesterday! I thought it was the smell of rouge."

Chu Changfeng was a little fascinated by the smell, "This tastes a bit like the sake sold in the county town."

However, the winemaking technology in their dynasty was not well developed, and most of the wine they drank was of average quality, but the price of each type of wine was sky-high!

It's not something that ordinary people can afford to drink! It's good enough to be able to smell it!

Chu Xiao had drunk it once before, and it was really delicious, but the taste was far from being as fragrant and strong as it was today.

Shen Zhi smiled and said, "Let me move it out first. It's been so many days, it should be ready."

The moment the pot was brought out and the blanket was lifted, the whole house was filled with the strong aroma of rice wine.

Everyone couldn't stop drooling.

Shen Zhi removed the last layer of gauze, and the full pot of rice inside had turned into sweet wine after being fermented by the koji.

The fermented rice wine soup has a shallow layer, and the fermented glutinous rice is completely condensed together.

"Wow!!"

"The rice is watery!"

"The rice obviously has no taste, how come it has become like this?"

"Changfeng, go get each of you a bowl."

Chu Changfeng quickly took the bowl.

Putting the bowls on the table, Shen Zhi scooped a bowl of sweet wine into each bowl.

"Try it."

The rice wine still has a slight heat. When you take a sip, the sweet and refreshing aroma fills your mouth.

"tasty!!"

Lin Zheng was extremely excited, "How can this be so delicious?!"

Chu Changfeng also took a big bite. It was sweet and fragrant, really good!

Chu Xiao: "This stuff tastes better than the wine I had last time! But it doesn't have much of a kick."

Shen Zhi took a bite and was very satisfied. The sweet wine was so fragrant!

I can have a small snack to eat at home in the future.

The three little guys ate in small bites, with a look of fascination on their faces.

It smells so good!

"This thing is so delicious! How can it be so delicious?"

"Yeah, I can't figure it out!"

"Mom, can we have another bowl?"

Shen Zhi: "No, you can't drink too much of this freshly cooked rice wine. It will upset your stomach if you drink too much. But I can use it to make something else for you."

The pairs of big eyes that were originally lost and dull suddenly sparkled again.

Shen Zhi pulled out the stove under the hot table, scooped three spoonfuls of sweet wine into the casserole, poured a few bowls of water, threw a piece of sugar in, and put it on the stove to cook.

Then a dozen eggs were brought.

"Eggs! Shall we boil them?"

"But why do eggs need to be cooked in this sweet soup?"

The little ones didn't understand.

Shen Zhi didn't explain much.

The sweet wine soup was already boiling, she brought the pot to the table, and he cracked the eggs into it one by one.

Once the eggs are set, continue to cook on the stove.

After a while, the eggs were fully cooked and set.

Each person was given two eggs and a bowl of sweet wine soup.

The little ones loved them so much! There were only two eggs, and they were reluctant to eat them, so they took small bites and cherished them very much.

"If this thing were sold in a restaurant, I wonder how many people would like to eat it."

Lin Zheng sighed.

Chu Xiao: "It's a pity that this is not wine. If it could make you drunk and dizzy like wine, it would be more expensive."

Shen Zhi: "This kind of wine will also have a certain alcohol content if it is left for a long time. People who have never drunk much alcohol will feel dizzy after drinking it."

"Really?!" Chu Xiao was very excited, "How long will it take before I faint?"

"Dad, it will take several months to store. Besides, even if this kind of wine has alcohol content, it is not high. If you want to drink real wine, you need to use grain wine, which has a high purity and you will get drunk after just one sip."

Chu Xiao: "You...you can?"

Shen Zhi nodded: "Yes! But it consumes a lot of food."

Chu Xiao's heart trembled, "A small bottle of that strong liquor costs two taels of silver!"

Shen Zhi was stunned. "Two taels? So expensive?"

She doesn't drink and has never learned the price of alcohol.

Chu Changfeng: "This is just ordinary wine. If it is good wine, the price will be more expensive."
