Eating melons

The wine was placed with Wei Wei, after all, the glass jar was not something that could be seen by others.

Few outsiders go to Wei Wei's house, and the door is usually locked, so it's safer to put it there.

Also, the fire on Wei Wei's side was almost always burning, and the temperature in the room did not drop below zero. It was even quite high, which was also conducive to fermentation.

They are also quite careful. The small glass jar is hidden behind many large sacks and cannot be seen unless they are turned over.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi put a lot of thought into getting a bite to eat.

I went into the house and took out a glass jar wrapped in layers of plastic.

As soon as she opened the plastic package, Wei Wei smelled a faint aroma of wine, but as soon as she opened the lid of the glass jar, the rich aroma of wine immediately spread out.

Wei Wei scooped a little with a spoon and tasted it. "Hmm, delicious, so sweet!"

Seeing Wei Wei still trying to scoop, Jiang Qi quickly said, "Drink less. This stuff is quite strong. I don't know if your body can handle drinking."

Wei Wei pouted and said, "I don't know, I haven't drunk since I came here, and the original owner has no memory of drinking.

But I used to be a big drinker. Even if it was pure rice wine without any other additives, I could drink a big glass of it.

Give me a plate of peanuts, and I can drink with you till the end of time."

Jiang Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He can drink quite a lot.

Although this wine doesn't look strong and tastes sweet, it has a really strong aftertaste.

There were two northerners among the seven of them. Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin looked like they were good drinkers, so Wei Wei and Jiang Qi served a lot.

This thing has many names. It can be called rice wine, sweet wine, glutinous rice wine, and also wine lees.

Thinking about playing in the snow outside all day today, Wei Wei added a few slices of ginger in addition to brown sugar and red dates.

This thing is good for both boys and girls to drink.

In addition, I also thawed a dozen frozen pears. These frozen pears were bought by me and Liu Aiying from the next brigade during the banquet.

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had never eaten it, they had heard about it when they were surfing the Internet, so they bought a lot.

I tried it and found it quite delicious, so I later bought a lot of it from the system mall and froze it.

As for why I didn’t go to that brigade to buy it, the answer is because it was too far.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi really didn't want to walk there and carry such heavy things back.

In addition, Wei Wei also bought a lot of dried vegetables, all of which were sent to her by Wei Wei.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi usually eat less and usually buy fresh vegetables from the system mall.

But Wei Wei always sent a large package each time, thinking that the six of them were not from Hunan Province.

They had not tasted some of the dishes, so Wei Wei brought some vegetables they had probably never eaten before, including a lot of dried bamboo shoots.

These are the dishes that are eaten in their home-style hot pot.

When Wei Wei and Jiang Qi came over with the food, Li Zhibin and the other three had already lit the pot. They looked at Wei Wei and Jiang Qi and immediately said:

"You're finally here. I turned around and you three disappeared. Now we can eat."

Looking at the frozen pear in Jiang Qi's hand, Li Zhibin raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, there are frozen pears. This is all meat, so let's have some frozen pears. It's okay to eat two frozen pears after the meal to relieve the greasiness. But why did you cut the frozen pears and not melt them?"

Jiang Qi said as a matter of course, "Of course it's for convenience. Isn't it better to eat one piece at a time? This kind of frozen pear that hasn't been completely melted tastes better. It's still crunchy when you eat it."

Looking at the frozen pears, Li Zhibin, Xiao Xuemu and Wu Mei were silent, but they didn't say anything for fear of being criticized. They just wanted to eat them however they wanted.

It was Wu Mei who broke the deadlock, "Where is Jiaojiao?"

Wei Wei immediately said, "Oh, she said she was going back to cook."

"Then I'll go call her."

After saying that, Wu Mei went out.

After Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei came over, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi started pouring wine.

Smelling the fragrance, Li Zhibin asked curiously, "What is this? Why does it smell like wine?"

"It's wine. It's a specialty of Weiwei's place. It's called rice wine, or sweet wine. But we added something to it and boiled it for a while."

Hearing Wei Wei and Jiang Qi say that they added Dongzhuo to the stew, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu were like enemies, "What did you add?"

Seeing Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu like this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi laughed. "Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated? I just added some brown sugar, red dates, and ginger. We played outside all day today, just to ward off the cold. This is a magical cold-repellent."

Hearing that no medicinal ingredients were added, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Xi also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the beginning, he didn't know what Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin meant, but he understood after hearing what they said later.

After all, he had been harmed once. Just looking at the way Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu changed their expressions when they talked about tigers, it seemed that they had suffered a lot.

When Yu Xi heard what was inside, he originally wanted to say that it was best for girls to drink, so he let the girls drink it.

But Li Zhibin had already picked up the bowl and tasted it.

"Wow, this tastes good. Did you come up with this cooking method yourself?"

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't dare to take credit for this.

"No, it's a drink passed down from the older generation. But don't drink too much. It's quite strong. We didn't add too much water."

Xiao Xuemu also tasted it and found it quite good. "Did you brew this wine yourself?"

Wei Wei nodded, "Yes!"

Hearing this, everyone present was a little surprised. They didn't expect that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had this skill.

Li Zhibin asked curiously, "I've been to your place quite often! How come I've never smelled any alcohol? This stuff smells quite nice. It's not normal not to smell alcohol normally, isn't it?"

Wei Wei explained, "We were afraid that others might smell it and say something, so we wrapped it tightly with several layers of plastic sheeting, the same kind used to seal windows, so you can't smell it unless you get close."

Hearing this, several people nodded. This was indeed the way to go. If those people knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi had wine at home, it would be bad if those drunkards smelled the smell and came to their house.

It’s not that I care about that little thing, but it’s not safe for two girls to be at home.
