Chapter 284 It was the daughter who was able to restrain her old father
Wei Ruo from reaching out and unsealing the lid of the wine jar in Xiumei’s arms.
As soon as it was revealed, a strong aroma of wine wafted out, instantly filling the entire study room.
Wei Mingting, who had drank countless drinks, immediately smelled that this was good wine.
Wei Mingting was a little bit dumbfounded: "Ruo'er, you are going to die in pain as a father. If this wine were left on weekdays, my father would definitely drink it to his heart's content, but now my father's injury has not healed." "Well, the injury is still there
. You can’t drink at all,” Wei Ruo agreed.
"Then why did you bring such fine wine?" Wei Mingting asked.
Wei Ruo explained unhurriedly: "If father is willing to take a good rest, his body will definitely recover as soon as possible, and he will be able to drink as much as he wants. If he does not take a good rest, the recovery that can be achieved in this two months will be delayed to March and May." Months, then the day when father can drink will be postponed."
Wei Mingting was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and said: "Ruo'er, your method of persuading my father not to work too hard is too..." It's a little
too special.
The wife tried her best to persuade him to get more rest, but it would be better if it was her daughter who put a jar of wine in front of him so that he could see it and smell it but not drink it.
"I didn't persuade my father, I just told him a fact."
Then Wei Ruo took out the braised meat wrapped in oil paper and opened a pack of braised duck necks in front of Wei Mingting.
The brown duck neck is shiny with crystal oil, and the fragrance is equally attractive.
"I also brought some snacks for my father, including braised duck necks, braised duck feet and a pack of braised pig ears."
Wei Mingting couldn't laugh or cry. He was not allowed to drink the wine, so he had to bring a bunch of snacks with him.
"Ruo'er, are you testing your father's willpower?" "
My father's willpower has always been extraordinary. Even if the sword penetrates his bones, he still can't make him afraid in the slightest. How can just wine and food shake my father?" Wei Ruodao.
Wei Mingting was speechless.
Looking at Wei Ruo, there was no unnecessary expression on her face, no tenderness or concern.
Similarly, what she said was not sincere or earnest, but Wei Mingting felt that his daughter cared about him.
Wei Mingting couldn't help but smile: "My father has been busy here today. Let's go back to the backyard dining room with you. How about you accompany me to have a meal?"
Wei Mingting stayed in the study today and has not had lunch yet. His wife is not here. No one reminded or advised him, and he was a busy man who forgot time.
"Okay." Wei Ruo agreed.
Then Wei Mingting sent someone to notify the kitchen to prepare food, and he and Wei Ruo walked back to the backyard dining room unhurriedly.
After sitting down, Wei Ruo placed all the braised food he had brought on the table, and then asked Xiumei Huihui to bring winter melon tea over, which she had not finished drinking since it was made last time.
Under Wei Mingting's gaze, Wei Ruo brewed a large bowl for Wei Mingting.
"What is this?" Wei Mingting asked.
"This drink is called winter melon tea. Although my father can't drink alcohol, he can still drink some drinks to go with the braised food." Wei Ruo explained.
You can have drinks even if you eat food without drinking alcohol.
"Okay." Wei Mingting tasted the winter melon tea Wei Ruo brewed with curiosity.
The taste is sweet and delicious. Although it is not comparable to wine, it has a unique flavor when you drink it.
Then Wei Mingting tasted the braised meat that Wei Ruo brought back. He had tasted braised pig ears before, but it was the first time for him to taste braised duck neck and braised duck feet.
The taste of duck products is different from that of pig ears, but the taste is still amazing to him.
Paired with fresh winter melon tea, Wei Mingting tasted it with relish. By the time the servants brought the lunch dishes prepared in the kitchen, Wei Mingting was already seven to eight times full.
After finishing lunch, Wei Ruo said to Wei Mingting: "I will keep the jar of wine for my father. I will send it to my father after he fully recovers."
"It's agreed that Ruo'er won't be given to anyone else." Wei Mingting said with a smile.
He has two sons, Wei Yichen and Wei Yilin, and an adopted daughter, Wei Qingwan, but when he gets along with other children, he is more serious and dignified most of the time.
For some reason, it was his eldest daughter, whom he had not been with for a long time, that made him smile more, and their relationship became more relaxed and pleasant.
"No, I promised you." Wei Ruo replied.
When Mrs. Yun came back in the afternoon, she was a little surprised to find her husband recuperating in the backyard obediently.
Later, I heard from the servants that it was the eldest daughter who specifically advised me. After persuading me, I not only ate my meal on time, but also stopped going to the front yard.
Yun asked how he persuaded her, but the servants didn't know.
Yun is still very happy. Her husband's health has always been a concern for her, but she has been unable to persuade him. Now that the eldest daughter's persuasion has worked, it is naturally the best thing.
###
May 15th is a holiday.
The government has been promoting late rice seeds and sweet potatoes for a few days, and the work of purchasing fertilizer and compost is also in progress, but the dark clouds hanging over Taizhou Prefecture have not lifted.
Anzhou College suggested that students go to the fields to observe the public sentiment during their breaks. Only by understanding the most important things at the moment can they know how to answer questions and how to be a court official in the future.
Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan, who were usually close friends, took advantage of this holiday to inspect the fields, and Lu Yuhong was among them.
Several people talked loudly along the way, talking about their views on the suffering of the people and the lack of food harvest.
At ten o'clock at noon, Xu Fengyuan made a host and invited everyone to have lunch at Zuixianju.
I asked for a private room, which was just full for a group of eight people.
Xu Fengyuan ordered a table of Zuixianju's signature dishes and a bottle of good wine.
The waiter served everyone a jug of wine, and Xu Fengyuan filled it for everyone, but he was soon surprised by the color, aroma, and aroma of the wine.
The wine has a strong aroma, but is as clear as water, without any turbidity, and as white and transparent as a clear spring.
This seems to be white wine.
Everyone then asked Lu Yuhong, who had drunk the most liquor during the dinner: "Master Lu, you are well-informed. Do you think this wine is liquor?"
Lu Yuhong only looked at it lightly and said, "This color is undoubtedly liquor, but it is not." You know what this tastes like."
It was actually white wine.
Liquor is rare, and there are very few wineries that can brew pure liquor. Even if they do exist, they are concentrated in the capital area.
Taizhou Prefecture occasionally has liquor, which is brought from other places. There is no such brewery locally.
Now that they saw such high-quality liquor in Zuixianju, everyone was really surprised and surprised.
With doubts and curiosity, everyone began to taste it.
Compared with the more common rice wine, white wine has a strong and strong taste. People who try it for the first time may be a little uncomfortable, but after a careful taste, they can feel the beauty of it.
"Famous is not as good as meeting. This is the first time I have drunk this liquor. The taste is really different." "This liquor
is a bit strong at first, and the hot feeling spreads down, warming my spleen and stomach. It flows like a stream and stretches like a mountain. It's really a good wine."
Everyone gave good comments.
