Chapter 283 Abnormal
The people from the soy sauce shop were watching with envy and excitement. They were envy because according to the recipe given by the village chief, the soy sauce produced in Luhua Town had to be dried in the sun for more than a hundred days, so their soy sauce shop probably wouldn't be able to join everyone else.
Now their job is to stir the soy sauce thoroughly every day. According to the village chief, this is to allow it to fully absorb the essence of sun exposure so that it can have the best flavor.
This batch of white wine from Luhua Town is brewed with sorghum. It tastes sweet and mellow, with a hint of sweetness. There is no noticeable spicy sensation when the wine passes through the throat. The most amazing thing is that the aftertaste is long-lasting, making it a rare and fine product.
Cui Qingyi's eyes lit up. Having drunk many good wines in her previous life, she didn't have high expectations for Luhuabai. But now, after just one sip, she fell in love with the taste of this wine. It was pure and natural without a trace of chemical blending, and there was no overly strong flavor residue. It was exactly the pure and natural, additive-free wine that modern people pursue.
The elderly Liang Guanshi's eyes sparkled, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak as he held the empty cup. Perhaps he had finally calmed down from the excitement brought by the high-purity liquor, and he choked up and said, "Village Master, I have no regrets in this life!"
For the first time, Cui Qingyi didn't think the old man was talking nonsense. She smiled and said, "In the future, Luhua Town will have more and better wines. Shopkeeper Liang, please take good care of yourself.
Give the order to convert all the factories in the back row into wineries and put all the workers into production. How much goods our Luhua Town caravan can take on the journey is entirely up to you all."
As soon as Cui Qingyi finished speaking, a deafening response was heard at the scene, scaring the birds in the mountains and forests into panic. Only the people in Luhua Town were filled with joy.
Businessmen from Dongping County have been gathering frequently recently, but the focus of their conversation is always on one thing: Luhua Town.
"What on earth is this village chief up to? He ordered a large number of jars from the county pottery kiln a few days ago."
"Humph, Shopkeeper Li of the Pottery Kiln has a huge business, but his mouth is as tight as a clam. I can't even ask him a single important question."
A merchant who was on good terms with Shopkeeper Li chimed in, "It's not that Shopkeeper Li is tight-lipped, it's that the village chief's people have repeatedly warned that if any news leaks out from Old Li, they won't order pottery from him anymore. For the sake of business, Shopkeeper Li doesn't even dare to leave the house."
It would have been fine if this hadn't been said, but once it was said the shopkeepers felt even more itchy.
Someone suggested, "Why don't we go to Luhua Town together to visit the village chief?"
The proposal was rejected as soon as it was made.
"Don't waste your time. Luhua Town has set up guard posts and you'll be interrogated when you get in. Once you get in, you can only wander around the town and won't be able to reach the factory area at all."
In fact, he was now even refused visits in town for fear of being smelled of the wine.
Someone couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the embroidery shopkeeper of Jinxiufang is not here, otherwise we could follow her path."
Everyone couldn't come to an agreement, so they could only talk nonsense together, and then dispersed when it was getting late.
Cui Qingyi is now truly famous in Dongping County. Merchants unconditionally believe that she must have made a big move in Luhua Town, but they have no channels to be the first to know what the village chief has done.
After brewing the wine, Cui Qingyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to waste her money endlessly. However, she felt tired belatedly.
One morning, Taozhi went in and out of the village chief's bedroom several times but failed to wake him up.
Aunt Cui also came in to check on her. She touched Cui Qingyi's forehead and found her temperature to be normal. "I'm afraid she's tired these days. You stay here and wait for the village master to wake up. I'll go get her some nourishing soup."
Aunt Cui’s cooking skills are average, but she is an expert at stewing soup. It is only because of the cooperation between her and Aunt Chen that Cui Qingyi did not lose much weight due to exhaustion.
Cui Qingyi slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, she felt her head was empty and her whole body was weak and she had no strength to move.
She lay down for a while and turned around to see Wangcai with his head on the edge of the bed, looking at her motionlessly. When he saw her wake up, he obediently offered his nose to her.
When Cui Qingyi reached out to touch it, she sniffed it very hard with her nose twitching.
Cui Qingyi couldn't understand Wangcai's thoughts. She took a moment to sit up. Taozhi came in with a bowl of soup and said in surprise, "You're finally awake. You've been sleeping for quite a while."
Cui Qingyi glanced at the sky outside and asked in surprise, "What time is it?"
Taozhi: "It's almost noon."
Cui Qingyi was also surprised that she could sleep for so long, "No wonder I feel weak all over."
Because he had slept so soundly, he didn't go out after getting up and eating. Instead, Taozhi walked around the yard with him. Looking at Wangcai following closely, Taozhi smiled and said, "Wangcai didn't wait for you to get up today, so he didn't go into the mountains to play."
Black Wolf is now a legitimate member of the Village Lord's Mansion, but it rarely shows up in front of outsiders. Even Cui Qingyi has only seen it two or three times in such a long time, but Black Wolf's presence is everywhere.
When Cui Qingyi took Wangcai to Luhua Town, the black wolf would find a nearby hill to stay. Although it rarely showed up, Cui Qingyi was thinking about it and asked Wangcai to send roasted meat into the mountain from time to time.
Perhaps it was because it had more opportunities to interact with humans, or perhaps it was because the black wolf was naturally intelligent and ate too much meat given by Cui Qingyi. Gradually, whenever Wangcai sent delicious food to the mountains, he would always bring back fresh meat when he came back.
Colorful pheasants, plump rabbits, and sometimes brightly colored foxes, the black wolf seemed to know what humans liked without any instruction.
Cui Qingyi reached out and touched Wangcai's big head, her heart softening. "I guess it's because it's never seen me sleep for so long since it came to my side, so it might be a little worried."
Wangcai was silent and docile today. Although he was not a very noisy guy on weekdays, Cui Qingyi felt the subtle difference, especially when Wangcai carefully put his nose against her lower abdomen, Cui Qingyi's heart moved.
It has been almost four months since she got married, and more than two months since Jing Wei left.
But when I think about it carefully, it seems unlikely, as she just had her period in the first half of the month.
Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Cui Qingyi returned calmly. It was not until after dinner that she instructed Cui Mama: "Mama, go back to the county tomorrow and ask Doctor Lu to come over."
Hearing that the master suddenly wanted to see a doctor, Aunt Cui and Taozhi were both surprised, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing the two people's frightened expressions, Cui Qingyi quickly waved her hands. They were all family and there was nothing to hide. "I'm not feeling unwell, I just suspect I'm pregnant."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue.
