"Psh, and you’re still talking. You should be grateful you’re lucky, If the kidnapper had been ruthzless, and you still thinking you’re a knight-errant, it’s already good enough they didn’t tear up your ticket." How many kidnapping cases there are where they tear up the ticket once they get the money.
"I’m not stupid, I wouldn’t let them tear up my ticket." Xiaonian leaned on Shuiling: "By the way, why don’t you like Liu Yi? The moment I mentioned chasing after him, you reacted so strongly."
In the back seat of the car, the two of them had endless things to say.
When Xiaofeng returned to the Gu Family, it was already dark.
From last night until now, she hadn’t had a proper rest, she was indeed a bit tired now.
Dabao, staggering, saw her returning and walked straight to her, hugging her thighs without a word, just holding on.
Xiaofeng picked him up. Big lad, this taciturn man, just like his dad, less talkative with a cold face.
"Of course, Mom shouldn’t have named you Shuhan, look at your face, cold as ice, not cute at all. Kids should smile more, you know?"
Unknowing people seeing Gu Dabao might think she had given birth to someone with facial paralysis.
"Mom." Xiaobao slowly walked over, having heard her laughter from afar: "Mom, you’re back, have you eaten? It’s been so long since you’ve been back, I missed you so much."
Xiaofeng sat on a stool, holding one kid in each arm, Gu Lao followed behind: "Grandpa."
Gu Lao smiled warmly as he sat down: "You’re back, Quan Erbao is fine, right?"
"That’s good, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?"
"Good, join me for a drink." Gu Lao instructed the servants to prepare: "Let’s drink in my courtyard, it’s quiet there."
Xiaofeng thought about the wine she had followed the truck with today, it should be ready to drink, just right to try it out.
"Grandpa, Mum sent me a few bottles of wine, I made it myself. It just arrived today, let’s drink some together." It came with the truck, the taste was yet to be known.
"That’s wonderful." Gu Lao was of course happy: "To be able to drink rice wine brewed by my daughter-in-law herself is a blessing not many can boast of."
Xiaofeng went back to the room, brought out the wine, poured a bowl for Gu Lao, and half a bowl for herself: "Grandpa, please taste it and see how it feels. Xiaonian really likes the rice wine from our hometown, so my mom brewed some extra. I found it quite fun and learned some of the steps."
Gu Lao took a sip, it wasn’t as strong as white liquor, only mild, but it was particularly comforting to drink.
"I also love this taste, drinking too much white liquor can harm the body, this wine is just right, suitable for us older folks to drink a little every day, don’t you think?" He had lived in Xiqian Town for three years, obviously aware that rice wine is a necessity on the table during any household’s happy or sad occasions, also a staple at the dinner tables during holidays.
In the local area, having rice wine on the table is the greatest respect you can show to guests.
Visitors to someone’s house, whether they drink or not, would end up drinking a little whenever the host brought out the wine pot.
This kind of wine isn’t high in alcohol content, but it’s potent. Drinking a little is fine. Drinking too much would still get you drunk.
Xiaofeng took a sip, the fragrance of the wine wasn’t strong, but the taste was just right: "Grandpa, I am thinking of promoting this as a health tonic wine. What do you think? For example, adding ginseng or other herbs." Since grandfather was a doctor, his understanding in this area was definitely better than hers.
"You could try, but using ginseng would mean your costs aren’t trivial, what would you need to charge for this wine then? At a normal price, you might not even break even." If it is young ginseng, the price isn’t high, but compared to other herbs, ginseng is one of the more expensive ones.
If high-aged ginseng is used, selling the wine for a low price also doesn’t make sense.
"Mainly because the aroma of the rice wine isn’t strong enough, and neither is the alcohol content, whether it can suppress the taste of the ginseng is questionable." In modern times, many people soak ginseng in white liquor, and it can be consumed after a while.
"I have no experience in brewing, you’ll have to research that yourself. But, plain rice wine is also good, make sure to keep some for me. I’ll send some to others later, so if they want to drink, they’ll have to come to me."
As people age, drinking white liquor harms the body, but a little rice wine does not, and they would definitely be envious.
"I still have some, I’ll send them all to you later."
