Chapter 202 I'll buy you some candy when I come back
Gu Yuexuan shook her head slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "Husband, I understand what you mean. But I think we can do better. I recently studied the production method of bamboo wine. I think this wine has a unique flavor and high quality. If it can be brewed, it will definitely be loved by everyone."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Tu Subo's eyes. "Bamboo wine? I've heard of it, but I don't know how to make it. Can you tell me more about it?"
Gu Yuexuan nodded, pulled Tu Subo to sit on the stone bench, and began to explain the production process of bamboo wine in detail.
"Bamboo sap wine, as the name suggests, is made from the sap of bamboo. First, we select fresh, pest-free bamboo, cut it down, saw it into sections, and then clean it. Next, we drill holes in the bamboo joints to let the sap flow out. This sap is the main ingredient in making bamboo sap wine."
Tu Subo listened with great interest and couldn't help but interrupt, "Then what should we do with this juice?"
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly. "Husband, this is the key to making bamboo juice wine. We filter the bamboo juice to remove impurities, then add the appropriate amount of yeast and stir it evenly. Next, we seal it for fermentation and wait for the wine to mature. In about a month, we can enjoy delicious bamboo juice wine."
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with excitement: "That sounds great. When do we start making it?"
Gu Yuexuan looked at Tu Subo, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "My dear husband, I know you're looking forward to it. But we face considerable challenges. First, the production process of bamboo wine is much more complicated than that of ordinary wine, requiring more time and effort. Second, the ingredients are more precious. We need to find the right bamboo and ensure the freshness of the bamboo juice. Most importantly, the amount of yeast must be just right, otherwise the quality of the wine will be affected."
Tu Subo held Gu Yuexuan's hand tightly and said firmly, "Xuan'er, I believe in you. As long as you say yes, we will go all out. I will help you find the right bamboo and will do my best to provide you with the materials you need."
A trace of gratitude flashed in Gu Yuexuan's eyes. She knew that with Tu Subo's support, she would definitely succeed.
In the days that followed, Gu Yuexuan and Tu Subo worked together, cutting bamboo, making yeast, and fermenting the wine. Despite encountering numerous difficulties, they never gave up. Whenever they felt exhausted, they encouraged each other, confident that their efforts would yield fruitful results.
Finally, a month later, the bamboo wine was ready. Gu Yuexuan carefully opened the jar, and a rich aroma filled her nostrils. A flicker of joy flashed in her eyes, knowing her efforts had paid off.
Tu Subo took a sip of the bamboo wine and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Xuan'er, you really did it! This wine has a unique flavor and a fragrant aroma. It is indeed a top-notch product."
Gu Yuexuan also smiled. She looked at Tu Subo with happiness in her eyes. "My dear husband, thank you for your continued support. I believe that our wine will become more and more popular, and the life of Yuanqian Village will get better and better."
Gu Yuexuan shook her head at Tu Subo and said with a smile, "You always give me such a headache." There was a hint of teasing in her eyes, as if she was already accustomed to Tu Subo's helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Tu Subo widened his eyes and said in a serious tone, "Gu Yuexuan, are you making fun of me?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose up.
Gu Yuexuan smiled softly and said, "How dare I laugh at you? Tu Subo, can't you try the bamboo wine I brewed? I prepared it especially for you."
Tu Subo sighed and said, "Alas, Gu Yuexuan, you don't know how heavy a burden this prohibition is for me. However, I am already satisfied to see the wine you brewed for me."
Gu Yuexuan smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't force it. Can you guess what I regret?"
Tu Subo blinked and said, "Are you regretting not being able to see my joke?"
Gu Yuexuan smiled slightly and said, "You are always so narcissistic. It's a bit regrettable, because you always make me laugh until I cry."
Tu Subo laughed heartily and said, "That's good, that's good. You'll be going to the shed to help with the rescue of the rice seedlings. Is there anything I can do to help?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head and said, "Be careful on the way to the restaurant in town so that the wine doesn't spill. Also, be careful not to let anyone notice that you're violating the alcohol ban."
Tu Subo nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Gu Yuexuan, is it really okay for you to go to the shed alone?"
Gu Yuexuan smiled and patted Tu Subo's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, I'm a well-known strong woman in the village. Besides, don't you always say that women hold up half the sky?"
Tu Subo smiled and said, "Of course. But I'm still worried. How about I accompany you to the shed?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head and said, "No need. After you deliver the wine, you still have to come back to help me check on the situation at home. Besides, I can't wait to see those seedlings."
Tu Subo looked at Gu Yuexuan's determined eyes, and a wave of respect surged in his heart. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'm relieved. You go ahead and do your work. I'll deliver the wine to the restaurant and come back to help you."
Gu Yuexuan nodded and turned to walk towards the shed. Her figure looked particularly firm in the sunlight. Tu Subo looked at her back and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
Gu Yuexuan walked into the shed and looked at the tender green seedlings, a glimmer of joy in her eyes. She carefully checked each seedling, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
Suddenly, she heard a laugh behind her and turned around to see that it was Tu Subo, who was holding a wine gourd and looking at her with a smile.
Gu Yuexuan glared at him and said, "You're being lazy again, slacking off."
Tu Subo smiled and said, "I just came to see you and bring you some wine. Don't worry, I have already asked the servants to deliver the wine to the restaurant."
As the carriage was about to depart for the town, Tu Subo walked up to Gu Yuexuan, his eyes revealing a mixture of reluctance and anticipation. He gently pinched Gu Yuexuan's earlobe and chin, whispering, "I'm going, I'll buy you some candy when I come back."
Gu Yuexuan was slightly stunned, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she gently slapped his hand away: "Tu Subo, you are penniless, and you still promised to buy me candy? It's really laughable."
Tu Su's family lives in a remote and impoverished village called Yuanqian. Tu Subo, the eldest son, has to work away from home to support his family. Gu Yuexuan is his wife, a kind and resilient woman.
Tu Subo chuckled, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Don't worry, even though I'm broke now, I'll be rich one day. When I come back, I'll make sure you live a good life."
Gu Yuexuan sighed softly, her eyes showing concern: "You must take good care of yourself and don't let your family worry."
