My delicate husband

Chapter 211 Bamboo Leaf Green

It's almost the end of the month, and the shopkeeper is really worried about the business of the tavern. His hair, which was not thick to begin with, has fallen out even more. He is now very careful when washing his hair. What is falling out is not hair, but his life.

The wine brewed from grain has been handed over to Blue Eucalyptus for more than three months. Logically, the wine should be ready.

It is probably not drinkable, so Lan An did not inform him, and the shopkeeper did not dare to ask Lan An, because the current boss is not as easy to talk to as the previous boss.

When the shopkeeper has nothing to do, he uses a wooden comb to comb the remaining hair on his head. He takes good care of it and can only pray that it will not fall off again.

Lan'an had almost forgotten about the lotus viewing banquet. It was only when Brother He delivered the account book and gave Bai Lu's letter to Lan'an that Lan'an remembered it.

"Brother Xiaomo, the lotus flowers in Qingfu Village are in full bloom."

"An An, be good, we'll go see it again next year. If you want to eat lotus seeds, I'll ask Brother Man to buy some."

"I know, Brother Xiaomo, you forgot about the lotus viewing banquet I mentioned. Oh, and the Bamboo Leaf Green should be ready."

"An An, you worry too much."

"No, Bai Lu wrote me a letter."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

Lan Euan entered the space, and the space was filled with the aroma of wine. It was Lan Euan's first time making wine, and he thought it would be pure white, but he didn't expect it to have a hint of green.

Lan An had seen countless bottles of wine, and this one was obviously a top-grade liquor, but he didn't know what it tasted like. He couldn't drink it now, so he could only let his family taste it.

Brother Xie and Brother Zhu's house was almost completed, and there were still some details to be dealt with. When they learned that Lan An invited them to drink, they agreed without hesitation.

The Li family's house has been built. It will be ready for people to move in after it has dried in the shade for another half a month. After they move out, Lan An can build another house. It will still be based on the size of the side yard, but there may be more rooms so that there will be a place for people to live in when they move out in the future. Although Lan An feels that there are too many people in the family now, this is enough.

Aunt Wang's house is almost completed, and the warming day is set for half a month later, but Lan'an was informed long in advance, although Lan'an may not be able to attend the banquet.

Zhang Xiaomo sent a letter to Bai Lu and the county magistrate, informing them about the lotus viewing and wine tasting party. He sent invitations to the wealthy landlords in the name of the county government, and of course, he also informed the village chief of Qingfu Village.

The head of Qingfu Village also attached great importance to it. Upon receiving the notice, he immediately called a meeting of all the villagers to discuss the matter. He reminded them of the important matters and cleaned the entire village thoroughly. The venue construction and special snacks were also arranged one by one, and they were just waiting for the lotus viewing and wine tasting conference.

Manager Gui was relieved to see Lan'an's reply. He finally didn't have to worry about the wine shop business. It seemed that Lan'an had been brewing for a long time. He just had to wait quietly for the Lotus Viewing and Wine Tasting Conference. He also had expectations for the Bamboo Leaf Green wine. After all, a two-liter jar of rice wine only cost 300 to 800 wen, and a one-liter jar of fruit wine was only about 300 wen. Lan'an clearly said that Bamboo Leaf Green was half a liter and five taels and no bargaining was allowed.

Aunt Li knew that Lan Euan was going to taste wine, so she prepared a lot of snacks. Duck, braised meat, and peanuts were all indispensable. She was busy for most of the day and made a large table full of more than 20 dishes.

Everyone in the Zhang family was also very surprised. Although they usually had six dishes and one soup, they rarely made such a sumptuous meal. They also knew that Lan An must have something important to announce.

Brother Xie and Zhu the bricklayer were very happy to see such a sumptuous meal. After all, their cooking skills were just average, and the best cook at home was Zhu Muyi, who had come to Lan'an to learn the skills.

"Brother An, Brother Mo, there is a happy announcement, so grand."

"I'll treat you to some wine, but you have to prepare more."

Lan An took out two jars of Bamboo Leaf Green wine, and everyone was attracted by the exquisite jars.

"Brother An, this is obviously your masterpiece, right? This wine jar is really beautiful, and the bamboo looks just like the old one. This calligraphy was written by Brother Mo, and the calligraphy is beautiful, and the poem is also a good poem."

"Thank you, big brother. Let's open it and try it."

Everyone was looking forward to it. Brother Han poured a glass for everyone except Chu Lan'an. The color of this wine was something they had never seen before, with a hint of light green. It was very pure and transparent. As soon as the bottle was opened, there was a strong aroma of wine, which seemed to have the fragrance of bamboo leaves, and it was not pungent at all.

"Young Master, this is top-grade liquor. Where did you get it? There's no liquor of this quality in Yunling County."

"Brother An, I've secretly drunk Lao Xia's wine before, but it's never as good as yours."

"I brewed this recently, everyone should try it."

Everyone took a sip without hesitation, and the wine spread on the tip of the tongue, bringing a mellow and delicate taste.

At first, I felt a light and elegant fragrance, as if I was in a bamboo forest.

Then, the spicy taste of the liquor gradually emerges, but it is not irritating, but adds a unique charm.

Then, I tasted the sweetness of the liquor, which intertwined with the spicy taste to form a balanced and harmonious taste.

Finally, the aftertaste of the liquor lingers in the mouth for a long time, leaving one with an endless aftertaste.

After taking a sip, everyone's eyes lit up. Even Lan An, who didn't like drinking, felt a little itchy.

"Brother An, your winemaking skills are amazing. Do you have any left? Bring me two jars to drink. Two jars are too few. Your jars are too small. I'll be satisfied with ten or so."

"There are still some left. I'll give a few jars to Brother Xie when the time comes."

"Quite loyal."

"Young Master, this will be the tavern's signature drink from now on, right?"

"Well, there's a lotus viewing and wine tasting event in Qingfu Village next week. You can go and have some fun."

"Lotus Appreciation and Wine Tasting Conference? Chen Bao and I want to go too."

"Brother Xiaomo, are you going?"

"I'm not going. I'll stay home with you."

"Little Boss, I'll cook for you and Big Boss at home, so I won't go."

"Okay, Brother Han, remember to bring back more lotus pods, and bring the six of Jin, Mu, Shui, Huo, Tu, and Yang to play with as well."

"Alright, little boss, I haven't told you yet, this wine has a strong aftertaste."

"Anger, I estimate it's over 40% alcohol. It's a rare strong liquor."

"It seems that Brother Kong also likes to drink."

"I'm doing this because of the boss. He used to drink a lot."

"What do you mean by because of me? It's because you like to drink too."

"I'm risking my life to accompany a gentleman."

"Bullshit, you're just greedy."

Everyone drank a lot, even Zhu the bricklayer was drunk. It was Zhu Muyi who took the two men back. Zhang Xiaomo took a sip. He was worried about Lan Euan's health, although Zhuyeqing was really good.

Aunt Li doesn't like to drink, but she also drank a sip or two. However, everyone else was drunk, so she had to clean up the hall. The hall was a bit messy and needed to be cleaned up, otherwise Lan Eucalyptus would be likely to vomit after smelling the smell.

Seeing that Lan An was feeling unwell, Zhang Xiaomo quickly brought her back to her room. Aunt Li did not complain and started to clean up without complaint.

"Brother Xiaomo, send ten jars of this wine to Brother Xia."

"An An, you are so nice to Brother Xia. You always send him a copy of everything."

"Jealous."

"Yeah, I hate him."

"Don't be unhappy, I only love my husband, and Brother Xia is just the God of Wealth."

"I can also make money to support An An."

"Yeah, Brother Xiaomo is the best."

Zhang Xiaomo just complained a few words, and Lan An gave him a few kisses to coax him into submission. Then he started writing letters and completed the task assigned by Lan An.

This time, nearly 500 kilograms of wine were brewed. Lan An still plans to sell it for a while. After all, traditional handmade winemaking is too tiring, and only Lan An can do the clarification and drying himself. Given his current physical condition, the next batch of wine may not be available for half a year.

The lotus viewing and wine tasting party in Qingfu Village was also very successful. The fame of Zhuyeqing was not only known in Yunling County, but also in several surrounding counties. It was known that Chuxia Liquor Store had high-quality liquor.

The lotus in Qingfu Village has also attracted many students. Many portraits and poems about lotus have been published. The villagers of Qingfu Village have made a lot of money by watching the lotus, picking lotus pods, picking lotus flowers, and selling special snacks.

Manager Gui is no longer worried about the wine shop business. He is now dealing with customers who want to buy wine every day. Lan An only gives him twenty jars of Bamboo Leaf Green every day, which is not enough to sell. Many people have to raise the price to buy Bamboo Leaf Green. The most expensive Bamboo Leaf Green is sold for one hundred taels per jar, which is a bit beyond Lan An's expectation. It turns out that the wine man should not be underestimated.

Lan Yan didn't expect that he would meet Guo Ge'er because of Zhuyeqing, and he didn't know that Guo Ge'er was already married.
