Lao Xue wanted to unload the truck, but Yang Jing stopped him with a smile.
"Brother Xue, don't unload the truck for now, or you'll have to do it again later. After lunch, I'll find a car, load all these things, and then send them out. You can't put them in here anymore, so you should send them all away."
Old Xue nodded when he heard this, and without saying anything, he returned to the house with Yang Jing.
Liu Dongmei had already brought up several cold dishes in the room, and had also arranged the wine glasses, chopsticks and other things. She was just waiting for Yang Jing and the others to come in before she started cooking.
"Sister-in-law, stop busying yourself. Wash your hands quickly and eat together." Yang Jing said to Liu Dongmei.
"It's okay, you two brothers eat first, I'll cook a few dishes, it will be quick."
Lao Xue said at the side: "Don't worry about your sister-in-law. She cooks very well. You didn't get to taste her cooking last time. This time, you must let her prepare two dishes. Come, let's drink first. Your sister-in-law will be done soon."
After Lao Xue said this, Yang Jing didn't say anything else and just sat down in his seat.
"Brother Yang, what kind of wine is this?" Old Xue asked in surprise when he saw the black earthenware jar on the table.
"Haha, Brother Xue, you are in for a treat this time. A few years ago, a friend of mine gave me a few jars of old wine, saying it was Erguotou brewed in the 1950s. I opened a jar and tasted it during the Chinese New Year. The taste was so good..."
"Erguotou brewed in the 1950s?" Old Xue's eyes lit up. "Oh my, I have to taste this wine today."
Yang Jing said with a smile: "Brother Xue, let's make a deal first. Each of us can only drink three taels of wine at most. If you don't want to be knocked down, you can drink more."
"Is this wine so strong?" Old Xue asked with some doubt.
"If you don't believe me, just try it!" Yang Jing smiled, "Anyway, during the Chinese New Year, my father and I drank three taels of wine each, and then mixed it with some other wine, and ended up sleeping for the whole afternoon..."
Old Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, listen to the advice and eat a full meal. Let's have a cup each at noon today!"
As he spoke, Lao Xue picked up the wine bucket, scooped a handful of wine from the open jar, carefully poured it into the cup, and then put the glass into the basin that had just been poured with hot water to warm it.
Putting down the wine jar and covering the wine jar, Lao Xue looked at the yellowed wine in the glass and said, "Tsk, tsk, this wine..." Lao Xue gave a thumbs up, "This wine is really fragrant. I wouldn't trade it for a bottle of Moutai! Come on, let's have a drink."
After taking a sip, Old Xue sighed and said, "This is really good wine. I have never tasted such delicious wine in my life."
It was originally an old wine, and when it was heated with hot water, the aroma of the wine came out, and the whole room was filled with the rich aroma of wine.
Even Liu Dongmei, who was cooking in the kitchen, smelled it, "This wine is so fragrant, I have never smelled such a fragrant wine before."
"Then sister-in-law, please hurry up, otherwise Brother Xue and I will drink all the wine." Yang Jing also shouted.
Old Xue burst into laughter.
Liu Dongmei is indeed a good housekeeper. Before Yang Jing and Lao Xue even finished half a glass of wine, Liu Dongmei had already prepared four hot dishes. Of course, Liu Dongmei also cut open a roast chicken that Yang Jing brought, put it on a plate and served it up.
After Liu Dongmei sat down, the three of them started drinking again.
What Yang Jing didn't expect was that Liu Dongmei could drink a lot and she didn't even show any change in expression after taking a few sips of wine.
The three of them chatted and laughed while drinking a glass of wine. Liu Dongmei wanted to pour more wine, but Yang Jing stopped her.
"Sister-in-law, you and Brother Xue can keep this wine and drink it slowly. But it's best not to drink more than one glass at a time. This wine has a strong aftereffect, and more than one glass can make people sleep for the whole afternoon. If you want to drink, let's go to another bar."
Liu Dongmei followed suit and went straight into the house. After a while, she came out carrying two bottles of Xiangyang brand Erguotou.
"We don't have any good wine at home, so let's just drink this. It's all Erguotou, so there's no need to worry about the taste."
"Yeah, let's drink this!" Yang Jing said with a little surprise. From childhood to adulthood, he had never drunk this kind of Xiangyang brand Erguotou.
Putting the wine into the basin to heat it, Yang Jing asked Old Xue: "Brother Xue, you have been very busy in the past three months! I see that the east wing is almost full."
Old Xue nodded and said, "It's OK. If it hadn't been for the heavy snow that hit Yanjing at the end of the year and we couldn't go out, we would have collected more. Anyway, we basically went three times a week in the past few days. I basically visited all the larger scrap collection stations in Yanjing City."
"Brother Xue, you've worked hard. Come, brother, let me toast you."
The two clinked glasses and took a sip of wine. Yang Jing put down his glass and asked, "Brother Xue, I came in a hurry last time and left in a hurry. Is the money I left for you enough?"
"Enough, enough! There are still some things I can use!" Lao Xue burped. "When you left last time, you left me 30,000 yuan in cash, and I haven't used it all yet. Don't forget, I mainly go to the scrap collection station to collect those things, and they are all charged by kilogram. Most of these things are 20 or 30 cents per kilogram. I have collected about 7,000 kilograms in the past three months, and I only spent more than 2,000 yuan in total. There is still a lot of money left."
"Well, as for the two small yellow croakers you left for me, I found a friend who works in a gold shop and told him that these two small yellow croakers were left by my ancestors. Although there was no invoice, I eventually sold them at the price of 90 yuan per gram, and I got a total of 90,000 yuan in exchange. So, this money is more than enough, you don't have to worry."
