Wine! Wine! Wine!

Each ti, she wanted to kick and break the jar of wine

If not for the fact that the wine is sealed, she would have put a dead rat into that jar, and also added all sorts of disgusting things into it

Wen Shouzhen loves to drink wine, and Yin Fugui would send a jar of wine to butter him up If we could breine ourselves, then perhaps we can put a dent in the plans of the Yin family

As soon as she thought about this, Wen Rou i wine

Most of the wine in the Great Zhou Dynasty is based on cooking and fermentation In the onset of winter the wine is prepared, and in suether, it usually takes 8 to 9 months for the wine to be ready for consumption Therefore, there are restrictions in place, and it is quite hard for her to breine

Wen Rou was thinking that if there is a type of wine that does not require a long waiting tireat?

“Oh, there is such a recipe!” Wen Rou eyes gleaaze was focused on a small corner of the cookbook

There is a rare recipe for a wine that could be brewed today and is ready for consumption on the next day

This type of wine is called ‘Chicken Wine’ As the naests, the chicken wine is a wine that could be prepared quickly The ratio of alcohol to water is 1:3 It took less than one for this wine to complete the fer and sold in the hly differentiated from the other wine and the alcohol content is quite low [2] In other words, this kind of wine has a relatively refreshi+ng taste and is not easy to intoxicate

Wen Rou grinned This wine is exactly what she is looking for!

Drinking wine until they are intoxication is easy for people to create trouble Having a mild wine is the best!

So excited was she that on that night, she tossed and turned and found it difficult to sleep When it is nearly daybreak, she finally ed to catch a catnap

“Rou Er, tiently shook and wake Wen Rou, as sleeping soundly

Wen Rou turned over, and opened her eyes When she saw the figure of her mother, she smiled

It is such a blessing to have a family member around! Once she woke up, she could see her parents – this is such a great feeling!

“Mother!” Wen Rou called out sweetly

“RouEr, why not take a break today, and not go to the Drunken Immortal restaurant? If you are tired, rest for one day” Zhou shi+ was heartbroken when she saw the skinny and tired Wen Rou yesterday She stroked her daughter’s hair

“Mother, I am much better now!” Wen Rou immediate lept out of the bed, and ie her clothes

Although she had two big panda eyes like yesterday, today she was highly excited

Once they had eaten their breakfast, she went to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant with her father

After working for , Wen Shouzhen orried that she could not cope to the heavy workload and asked her to go back first

Wen Rou also wanted to purchase soreed

Once she left Drunken Immortal restaurant, she iredients she need to brew the chicken wine

On this chilly night, Wen Rou sneaked into the kitchen under the cover of the moon and conduct experiments in the kitchen

You could not use water gathered directly fro wine; youhot water is unsuitable; you should wait for the water to be cooled before using it

Wen Rou was fully absorbed in the task, and before she knows it, it is already the 3rd watch (11pm to 1am)

She had kept the wine carefully, and hidden the fer, then it will be ready for consu —

“Father, I got so special to show you!” Wen Rou smiled, and carried out the jar of the wine that she had brewed yesterday

Wen Shouzhen was about to eat his breakfast, when he saw Wen Rou dragging a jar into the dining hall “Oh? Young lady, why are you carrying a jar so early in the ”

“Hehe, I hope you will try the Chicken Wine that I brewed” Wen Rou’s hair was still messy She had yet to comb it She was so anxious to have her father evaluate the wine that she hadher hair

But once she said the words, she iretted it This wine had only been ferht Is it really as what the recipe says, “Brew the wine at night, and ready for drinking in the ?”

What if she opened this jar and it is just a jar of water Won’t she lost face and become embarrassed?

“Oh? My daughter had tried her hand at breine?” Wen Shouzhen was very happy “Wen Rou, when you brew the wine? How come I did not know about this? Where did you bury the jar of wine? Where did you hide the wineequipment?”

Under the continuous barrage of questions by Wen Shouzhen, Wen Rou was flustered and did not kno to reply

“Yesterday night I brew it I did not bury it under the ground, and did not use any equip wok…” Wen Rou voice was so small that it resemble the sound a mosquito makes The sound of a winter mosquito

“Hahaha!” Wen Shouzhen carried the jar of wine, and pulled his daughter over, “Silly girl! There are a lot of things to learn when breine Usually we brew the wine in the beginning of winter, and the wine is only ready on the last days of su wine requires a lot of equipment that our house does not have It is very difficult to breine! That is why your uncle Yin’s wine is not that tasty, but it is still popular” Wen Shouzhen explained

“That’s right! Wen Rou, it is very difficult and very troublesoht?” Zhou shi+ se for Wen Rou

“I have already brewed the wine Please try it!” Wen Rou pouted She broke open the seal, and her heart was beating very rapidly

“All right, I will try I hter” Wen Shouzhen grinned and he purposely smiled so that Wen Rou will not be disheartened

Just when everyone did not thinkfragrant aroma effused out

Wen Shouzhen was puzzled He immediately stood up and looked into the jar The liquid inside was clear and sparkling At the edge of the jar, it was sticky

“This is…” Wen Shouzhen was stunned
