Chapter 182: Food and Wine.
In the past few days, she always went out to attend classes in Tianqin Garden.
Now that Mr. Wang Caiwei is teaching in Tianqin Garden, Mrs. Yuan actually invited several girls from the Yuan family to come and attend the class, which is exactly what Wei Ruo and her family members said before.
It's just that Wei Ruo herself has been skipping classes more frequently than before. Mr. Wang Caiwei didn't say anything about this. He just said that there are some things that it is better to do by yourself than to learn from textbooks.
Wei Mingting did not doubt Wei Ruo's answer, and then said to Wei Ruo: "In the past few days, colleagues from Xingshan County have brought news to me. The people who are clearing wasteland in the south of the city are fine. Magistrate Qian has taken care of them. You can rest assured.
" The weather was getting colder. Wei Mingting knew that Wei Ruo cared about those hard-working and poor people, so he specially conveyed the news to her.
"Well, it's good that they are fine. I hope they are all safe." Wei Ruo was also happy for the elderly and children.
Then Wei Qingwan also arrived.
She has also started classes again these days. She goes to the house of her colleagues and goes out early every day and comes back late every day. She is very diligent. In the past, she just arrived at the house after dinner, so she came back early today.
Seeing Wei Mingting, Wei Qingwan lowered her head and greeted her softly: "My daughter has met her father. He has been working hard recently." "
Being a father is hard work, so Wanwan doesn't have to worry." Wei Mingting said.
"How many days can Daddy rest when he comes back this time?" Wei Qingwan asked with concern.
"We will return to the military camp after dinner tomorrow." Wei Mingting only got two days of leave, and in order not to delay things, he only rested at home for one night.
Hearing this, Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Mingting with a distressed expression.
Seeing his daughter's concerned eyes, Wei Mingting felt warm in his heart.
Wei Yilin arrived late and was sweating profusely.
"Dad! I learned a new sword technique today! Master said that on the battlefield, a sword is easier to use than a sword. A sword is just a showpiece, not as fierce as a sword!"
Before Wei Mingting could ask about his current situation, Wei Yilin began to talk endlessly about his recent studies.
Wei Mingting was very pleased: "Well, your master is right. On the battlefield, a sword is indeed better than a sword. After dinner later, we will go to the courtyard and see if you have made any progress." "Okay
! "Wei Yilin agreed, looking confident.
Then the Yun family came and asked Wei Ruo and others to go back and tidy up before coming back to have a meal together. Especially Wei Yilin, a skinny monkey, was covered in sweat after practicing martial arts for a day.
Today, only five people, Wei Mingting, Yunshi, Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin, are celebrating the festival at home. Wei Yichen and Wei Jin have not returned home, so Yunshi's premise of dividing tables between men and women is no longer necessary today.
Wei Ruo looked at Wei Mingting, thought for a while, then went back to Tingsongyuan and brought back a jar of wine.
"It's rare for my father to come home, so let's drink some wine and relax."
Wei Ruo knew that his father who was drinking wine never drank alcohol in the military camp, and would only taste it when he was resting at home, but he was really a little too busy. Therefore, I can't drink more than once throughout the year.
Looking at the wine jar that Wei Ruo brought, Wei Mingting couldn't help but feel a little happy: "Ruo'er understands me." Wei Ruo's
wine jar looked rough and unattractive, but Wei Mingting knew that his daughter's wine was Great wine you can't buy anywhere else.
As he said that, Wei Mingting reached out his hand to pick up Wei Ruo's wine jar.
Wei Ruo withdrew his hand and said something first: "Drink, father, but don't be greedy and don't get drunk. A small drink will make you happy, but getting drunk will harm your body." "Okay, I promise you for my father."
Wei Mingting couldn't help laughing. , this feeling of being controlled by my daughter is a warm experience that I have never had before. Wei Ruo then gave the wine jar to Wei Mingting.
Wei Mingting opened the lid, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out, instantly filling the dining room.
"Ruo'er's wine is different from last time?" Wei Mingting asked.
The aroma of this wine is obviously much stronger.
"Well, last time we all drank together, I got a lighter fruit wine. This time, I got a stronger wine for my father to drink, so he has to drink slowly, otherwise he won't blame me when he gets drunk." Wei Ruo added.
The wine last time was a relatively low-alcohol fruit wine obtained by soaking the fruits in brewed high-strength white wine. This time it was the original high-altitude white wine.
Hearing this, the underage Wei Yilin came over and wanted to see clearly what was inside the wine jar. However, he was not tall enough and even after standing on tiptoe for a long time, he could not see clearly what was inside the wine jar.
Fortunately, Wei Mingting had already taken the wine glass and poured a spoonful into it.
The wine is crystal clear and the aroma is mellow and rich.
Wei Mingting took a careful sip and pondered it carefully, then looked at Wei Ruo with a surprised look on his face: "Ruo'er, you made this wine too?" "Well, when I had nothing to do in the country, I made some wine, and
sometimes You can let people sell it and exchange it for silver to buy some bedding or something." Wei Ruo replied.
"Ruo'er, your craft is worth a thousand pieces of gold!" Wei Mingting said.
Wei Ruo knew that Wei Mingting was not exaggerating when he said this. Most of the wine nowadays is still brewed wine. Although the technology of distilling wine already exists, it is only in the hands of a few wineries.
Ordinary brewed wine has a low alcohol content and is yellow and turbid.
Distilled wine can greatly increase the alcohol content, and the wine has a rich aroma and is as pure as water.
Therefore, the price of distilled liquor is much higher than that of general grain-made liquor.
Wei Mingting had often drunk this kind of distilled wine in the capital before, but during his tenure abroad, he never had the opportunity to drink this kind of wine because he was in a relatively remote area.
Wei Ruo didn't answer, just said: "As long as father likes it."
Seeing her husband happy, Yun's face also had a smile. Then she ordered people to serve the food.
Among the dishes that were served, there were the braised flavors that Wei Ruo was familiar with - braised pig ears and braised pork. Wei Ruo could tell at a glance that these were produced in her shop.
Yun specially introduced this braised food to Wei Mingting: "Good wine needs to be paired with good food. Today's braised pig ears and braised pork are just right for my husband to go with wine." After Wei Mingting tasted it, he nodded: "
This braised food is not only delicious. , the taste is also very good, the cook has improved recently."
Yun explained: "I bought this from a braised food shop in the city. This braised food shop is very famous in Fucheng, and the nobles in the city are their regular customers. , I also heard what Mrs. Tongzhi said, and when my husband came back today, I went to buy it to try." "It is indeed
different from other stores, and it is much better than the braised food I have eaten before." Wei Mingting commented.
Then Wei Mingting looked at the wine glass in front of him and said: "It can be said that Madam and Ruo'er have a good understanding today. One prepared the wine and the other prepared the dishes to go with the wine." Mrs. Yun smiled and said: "Mother and daughter are connected. Ruo'er
is It’s not unusual for my husband’s daughter to have a close connection with me.”
