Chapter 82 Ruoer Can Make Wine
"It's plum wine, brewed by the elder sister herself. I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." Wei Jin also explained.
Everyone looked at Wei Ruo in surprise, and Wei Ruo calmly looked at the dishes in front of him.
Second brother asked for her opinion before doing this.
She originally didn't intend to show such courtesy to Wei Mingting, but the jar of wine had already been opened last time, and she ran away without drinking the taste for a long time.
And the jar of wine was almost full. Last time because the second brother was drunk, he put it aside after drinking two cups. In addition, Wei Ruo himself is not keen on wine. He would not drink it if he had nothing to do. .
The second brother said that his father loves alcohol but not alcohol, and giving him a taste is considered to be the best use of everything.
In addition, the second brother mentioned it to her, and she couldn't refute the second brother's opinion, so she didn't say anything.
"Ruo'er can still make wine?" Wei Mingting's eyes fell on Wei Ruo.
"I can make some, brew it casually." Wei Ruo replied casually.
"Then as a father, you have to have a good taste." Wei Mingting said.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, the big boulder of the Japanese pirates fell temporarily, and Wei Mingting's wine worms also came out.
Hearing this, Yun hurriedly asked someone to pour a glass for Wei Mingting, and then poured wine for everyone present except the young Wei Yilin.
It is an elegant thing to have a drink, so on such a festive occasion, the Yun family allows the older children to drink.
Wei Mingting tasted it first, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "Ruo'er, you really made this wine?"
"Yes." Wei Ruo responded indifferently.
"This wine is really good, sweet and elegant, with a rich aroma and fruity aroma." Wei Mingting commented.
Hearing Wei Mingting's comment, Yun Shi and Wei Yichen also took a sip.
The two also showed surprise expressions.
"Ruo'er's wine is so well brewed that it's even purer and sweeter than the restaurants in the county town." Wei Yichen commented.
Pure and sweet probably because Wei Ruo used the distillation method to purify, so the wine is fragrant and pure, as transparent as water.
However, many wines in this era, especially some small workshops, are brewed with rough craftsmanship, and the wines produced are relatively cloudy.
Yun also couldn't help but praise: "Ruoer's hand is really skillful, it's the first time I have drunk such a non-violent but full-bodied wine."
Listening to everyone's praise for Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan looked down at the wine glass in front of her, and took a tentative sip.
She doesn't drink much, and she doesn't have too many opportunities to let her drink, so she doesn't know as much about alcohol as her parents and elder brothers do.
But Wei Qingwan could feel that the wine was really not bad, and the sweet and refreshing taste could be tasted, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She raised her head to look at Wei Ruo, with a smile on her face, and praised with the others: "Sister is really amazing, it seems that nothing can trouble her, compared to her, I am really useless gone."
"How can Wanwan be useless? Wanwan has something that Wanwan is good at." Yun said hurriedly.
"Yilin, what are you talking about?" Wei Mingting looked serious.
Wei Yilin was very afraid of Wei Mingting. When Wei Mingting's expression became serious, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak.
On weekdays, when Wei Mingting was not around, he would sometimes slander Wei Ruo secretly like today. No one in the family was angry, so he got used to it.
"It doesn't matter if it's unintentional, or if it's intentional to slander and disrespect your big sister, you don't have to eat today's meal, just get out and stand in the yard!" Wei Mingting said coldly.
Wearing this, Yun hurriedly pleaded for mercy for his youngest son: "Yilin should have made the mistake unintentionally, husband, don't be angry."
Wei Yilin lowered his head very low, and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Wei Mingting did not pursue further.
Wei Yichen explained to Wei Yilin from the side: "Yilin, the craft of wine making is not as crude and shallow as you think. A good wine making recipe is usually a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation in a family, and there is a royal wine workshop in the palace. The master has an official position."
"Understood..." Wei Yilin replied in a low voice.
Actually, he also knows what the eldest brother said. He just said that just because he didn't want sister Wanwan to be compared to Wei Qingruo.
The rest of Wei Jin just pretended to take a sip, but actually didn't drink even a drop. Wei Ruo could see it, and also knew that after learning the lesson from last time, he would never touch wine lightly now. Even this kind of weak fruit wine.
One meal was used up, and the jar of wine had also run out, most of which were drunk by Wei Mingting, and the rest of them just had a few sips.
As far as Wei Mingting's drinking capacity is concerned, let alone a jar of fruit wine, he would not be able to get drunk even with seven or eight jars.
He loves wine, but he resolutely does not drink alcohol when he has official duties. Now that he has won a big victory, celebrating at home is a very rare opportunity to drink in the past few years. He has a jar of good wine and drinks very happily.
At the end of the meeting, Wei Mingting unexpectedly took the initiative to ask Wei Ruo for a drink: "If Ruo'er brews wine next time, let Dad taste it too, okay?"
Wei Ruo couldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay, I will remember my father's share next time."
I don’t know when it will be brewed again next time, and the newly brewed wine can’t be drunk immediately, it will be kept for a long time, so Wei Mingting wants to drink the wine she brewed next time, and I don’t know when he will have to wait.
As for the few jars still in her warehouse, Wei Mingting only said that they were for the next brewing, not the ones already in place, so naturally they don't need to be taken out.
Wei Mingting said: "Okay, then as a father, I will wait for Ruoer's next delicious wine."
After the banquet was over, everyone left the dining room one after another. Wei Ruo just walked out of the dining room door when Wei Qingwan walked towards her.
Wei Qingwan took the initiative to talk to Wei Ruo, and sent a purse embroidered by herself:
"Sister, I embroidered this purse and gave it to my sister. I am not as capable as my sister. I can only embroider some embroidery. I hope my sister will not dislike it."
Wei Ruo turned to look at Wei Qingwan, but didn't reach out to pick it up.
Seeing that Wei Ruo didn't move, Wei Qingwan explained: "My sister has already remembered what my sister taught me on Qiqiao Festival, but I couldn't think of any good way to express my sincerity to my sister, so I embroidered a purse to express my heart." .”
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Qingwan sharply. Wei Qingwan didn't know whether it was a guilty conscience or something else, so she lowered her head to avoid meeting Wei Ruo's gaze.
"Okay, then I'll take it." Wei Ruo suddenly reached out and took the purse.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ruo saw Wei Yichen coming out of the dining room, and gave him the purse.
"Ruoer, this is?" Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo suspiciously.
