“It’S plum wine, brewed by our eldest sister herself, I’m just the one delivering
it,” Wei Jinyi explained.
Everyone looked in surprise at Wei Ruo, who calmly kept her gaze on the dishes in front of her.
The second brother had consulted her before proceeding with this.
She had originally not planned on presenting this gesture to Wei Mingting, but the jar of wine had been opened previously and if left for too long, it would lose its taste.
The jar was nearly full, having been left untouched after the second brother’s drunken episode, only a couple of cups had been consumed. And since Wei Ruo wasn’t particularly fond of alcohol, she wouldn’t drink it on a normal day, so it would be a waste to let it sit.
The second brother said that father loved wine, but wasn’t addicted to it, letting him taste it would be putting it to good use.
And since the second brother had already consulted her, she didn’t want to contradict him, so she remained silent.
“Ruo can make wine?” Wei Mingting’s gaze landed on Wei Ruo.
“Yes, it was a casual attempt,” Wei Ruo casually answered.
“Well, your father must taste it properly,” Wei Mingting declared.
Happiness elevates the spirit, the weight of the Japanese Pirates issue temporarily lifted, and Wei Mingting’s longing for wine emerged.
Upon hearing this, Mother Yun promptly poured Wei Mingting a cup, then filled a cup for everyone present except for the young Wei Yilin.
Toasting is a refined activity, so on this celebratory occasion, Mother Yun allowed their older children to drink.
Wei Mingting tasted it first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face,
“Ruo, did you really make this wine?”
“Hmm.” Wei Ruo responded indifferently.
“The wine is truly excellent. It’s clear, sweet and light, with a strong aroma of wine and fruit,” Wei Mingting commented.
Upon hearing Wei Mingting’s praise, Mother Yun and Wei Yichen also took a sip.
Both showed expressions of surprise.
“Ruo made a good wine. It’s purer and sweeter than what’s sold at the taverns in town,” Wei Yichen said.
The purity and sweetness probably came from the distillation method Wei Ruo used, resulting in a pure and clear wine, transparent like water.
In this era, many wines, especially those brewed in small workshops, were somewhat crude, resulting in a more cloudy product.
Mother Yun also couldn’t help but praised, “Ruo is really skillful. This is the first time I’ve tasted a wine that is so warming yet mellow.”
Listening to everyone praising Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan looked down at the cup of wine in front of her, and then tentatively took a sip.
She didn’t drink much and didn’t have much opportunity to drink. So she didn’t know as much about wine as her parents and brothers. But Wei Qingwan could tell that the wine was indeed good. The clear, sweet and refreshing taste could be discerned. Suddenly, she felt a bitter taste in her heart.
She looked up at Wei Ruo with a smile on her face, and praised along with everyone else, “Sister is really amazing. It seems that nothing can stump you. Compared to you, I am really useless.
