Zhang Xiaoqi was afraid of making his boss angry, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Boss, Madam Jiang said these peanuts are delicious when boiled. Do you want to try them?"

"It's better not to eat them. The peanuts they grow over there aren't as good as those grown by Madam Jiang. I was thinking of taking Madam Jiang's share with me. Madam Jiang can exchange it for anything she wants."

Jiang Yan: I’m so poor that I don’t even have money, and you still let her do what she wants and make a fuss!

After Captain Dong finished speaking, he felt a lack of confidence, so he looked at Jiang Yan and said, "Just tell us and we will do our best."

Jiang Yan had better not say anything. Even if she didn't have it, she was still a thousand-householder after all. It would be embarrassing to say that she didn't have it.

However, it is impossible to give it for free.

Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "It's up to you, sir."

"it is good."

Captain Dong liked to hear what Madam Jiang said, so he thought that when he returned home today, he would ask his mother and his wife to find some things to send to Madam Jiang.

Finally there was something happy, and Captain Dong's expression looked much better.

Jiang Yan knew that the good quality peanuts no longer belonged to her, so she wanted to cook some of the poor quality peanuts for everyone to taste.

Guan had exactly this in mind, so without Jiang Yan asking for help, she picked up a wicker basket and went to the river.

Soon, the peanuts in the wicker basket were washed, and Guan helped carry the peanuts in the wicker basket back home.

The next step was to light the fire and cook the peanuts, which was even easier. When Jiang Yan added salt, Guan was really distressed.

"That's enough salt to last me a month of cooking. Hey girl, you're such a spendthrift today."

What could Jiang Yan say? Should she say it wasn't salty enough and tasted bad, or should she not do it that way next time?

Thinking about Guan's temper, Jiang Yan finally told the truth. "Sister, these peanuts have thick skins. If you don't add enough salt, they won't be tasty."

After hearing what happened, Guan felt very regretful and said, "If I had known this, we wouldn't have cooked these peanuts."

Seeing Guan's regretful expression, Jiang Yan was afraid she might go crazy. She went into the house, took a black pottery bowl and poured half a bowl of her freshly brewed wine into it.

Looking at the dark purple liquid shaking in the black pottery bowl, Jiang Yan cried out in her heart: "I'm sorry"

However, no matter how much she called, she did not delay in delivering the black pottery bowl to Guan.

"What is this?"

"This is my newly brewed wine. Sister Guan, please try it and see how it tastes."

This was the first time Guan had seen wine of this color, and she was immediately intrigued. She took the black pottery bowl, brought it to her nose, sniffed it, and then took a sip.

As soon as she took a sip, Guan's eyes lit up. "Sister, did you really brew this wine yourself?"

"Replacement guaranteed."

"With grapes?"

"It's the wild grapes that grow in our mountains."

"Oh my God! Wild grapes can be used to make wine? This is the first time I've heard of that."

Guan thought about the abundance of wild grapes in the mountains. Every year, her three sons would bring back a large quantity. If they could make wine, would that be enough for the couple to enjoy for a long time?

The more Guan thought about it, the happier she became. She pointed to the black pottery bowl and said, "Sister, can you pour me another bowl? I'll let your brother-in-law have a taste."

"Why not?" Jiang Yan was worried that it would be inconvenient for her to carry it out, so she replaced it with a small gourd for water.

"Oh, this smells better than the wine sold in Black Rock City. That wine is so expensive, it's hard to get drunk even once."

"why?"

"Wine is too expensive. Few of the poor people in this land can afford to get drunk."

Jiang Yan began to doubt her life.

But before she could ask again, Guan had already gone out with the gourd.

Ye Zhan was lying in the west room, bored, and heard most of the conversation between Jiang Yan and Guan.

Seeing Guan had left, he dared to speak: "Wife, this is a luminous glass of grape wine. What vessel did you use to hold the wine just now?"

Hearing Ye Zhan ask this, Jiang Yan wanted to laugh. "I gave you two chances and you still couldn't guess it."

"Wife, I won't guess."

"Our black pottery bowl and gourd."

"Hahaha, wife, you are also a talent."

"It can't be helped. If I had taken out the glass right now, I'd have thought their hearts would have raced."

"Maybe it will even plant a seed of doubt."

"Well, what you said is very possible."

As the couple was talking, they didn't realize that a fight was about to break out in the peanut field behind them over the gourd of wine.

Guan was also regretting it. She knew that since everyone was not getting enough to share, she really shouldn't have taken the gourd of wine.

Captain Dong held the wine gourd in his hand, took a deep sip, and then took another sip before asking Guan: "Is this wine really brewed by Madam Jiang?"

"Hmm." Guan was a little unconvinced. She had clearly brought the wine for her husband to taste. But who knew that the captain was quicker than his boss? Her boss hadn't even tasted a single sip, but the captain had already taken several sips.

The more Guan thought about it, the more she felt she was at a disadvantage, but since he was the captain of a thousand households, she didn't dare to complain.

Zhou Dasheng didn't care about all this. As a rough guy, he became more cautious when he heard about the wine.

"Boss, give me a taste."

When Lao Wan heard Zhou Dasheng asking the boss for some wine, he also moved forward.

Seeing the two guys scratching their heads and heads, Captain Dong reluctantly handed over the wine gourd, and reminded them: "Just take a sip, don't drink it all."

"OK!"

But Captain Dong forgot one thing: once the wine fell into the hands of these two guys, there would be no wine left.

"Let me drink first, don't snatch it away." Zhou Dasheng stepped back directly towards the big hand that Lao Wan stretched out.

"Okay, I won't grab it, but we have to agree that you can't just drink it all at once."

"Yeah." Zhou Dasheng agreed and said in a gulp.

"Okay, okay, if you drink any more it will be gone." Lao Wan said as he snatched the wine gourd from Zhou Dasheng's hand.

"Ha~" Lao Wan drank the wine in the gourd in one gulp, smacked his lips, and began to complain. "Hey Lao Zhou, can't you leave me some more?"

"Still leaving? I haven't even had enough for one bite."

"With that big mouth of yours, if you could just take a sip, you wouldn't be able to stop drinking half a pound of wine."

They kept nagging, and Zhang Xiaoqi was practically crying. "My wife gave me that wine to try, and I didn't even smell it, let alone a sip, and you drank it all! How can you be so kind?"

"hold head high.."

Hearing Zhang Xiaoqi's complaint, Captain Dong felt a little embarrassed. "But this wine tastes really good."

The more Dong Baihu thought about it, the more itchy he felt. He was looking around to find where Madam Jiang had gone when he saw her coming over carrying a large wooden basin.

"Everyone come and try it. These are the peanuts that Sister Guan and I just cooked."

When they heard about boiling peanuts, both adults and children looked over here.

Guan then remembered that there was something else to cook peanuts for, so she immediately went over to meet him.

Jiang Yan handed the wooden basin to Guan and went back to get another one.
