Madam Xue shook her head helplessly, but did not stop her.
She only knew Ning Xier's identity as a divine doctor, but not her true identity.
Although Xue Lin knew this, he did not stop him.
Although his rank was not high, he had fought alongside Ning Xi'er today and was already quite familiar with her, even though she was almost a generation younger than him...
However, I greatly admire and respect them.
The absence of obstacles is also a sign of trust.
The market was closed at the moment, and there was not much meat or vegetables to buy on the street. What was on the table were some meats and vegetables that Madam Xue Lin had cured in her own cellar. It was simple but plentiful.
Xue Lin took out the most common kind of wine from the cellar and personally poured it for everyone.
As the host, he wasn't worried that Ning Xi and Zheng Ye would blame him for being impolite. He took the lead in raising his glass to thank Ning Xi and her group for their contributions and efforts to Yongning County on behalf of all the people of the city.
Xue Lin downed three bowls in a row, and Ning Xi'er didn't stop him.
This wine has a lower alcohol content than modern rice wine, only five or six degrees.
The best liquor on the market has an alcohol content of no more than 10%.
Everyone took a small sip of the bowl.
As Xue Lin was about to refill everyone's cups, Ning Xi'er gestured to Bai Zhi and Gan Cao, who then brought out two jars of wine from under the table.
Angelica was poured for the men, and licorice, as Ning Xi'er instructed, was poured for the women.
As soon as the wine was filled, Xue Lin and Liao Yueming both looked surprised, because the wine in the bowl was fragrant and mellow, and they had never smelled it before.
Madam Xue Lin was a forthright person. Attracted by the aroma of the wine in the bowl, she, who rarely drank alcohol and was not easily intoxicated, was still offered licorice root...
Curious, I took a sniff and immediately noticed something special about it.
The wine in the bowl had a faint peach blossom fragrance that I had never smelled before, making it incredibly tempting.
Xue Lin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Divine Physician, may I ask about this wine...?"
The princess was a member of the Marquis's household and a person close to the prince, so she must have seen many fine things, and even this wine was something they had never seen before.
The county magistrate and the registrar were both wine lovers, and they were pleasantly surprised by the wine in the bowl, even though they hadn't drunk it yet.
Not to mention Madam Xue Lin, even Bai Zhi and Gan Cao, who were pouring the wine, as well as Hai Tang and Ao Xue at the same table, were very curious about the peach blossom fragrance in the bowl.
Ning Xi'er smiled and explained, "I had some extraordinary encounters and obtained some wine recipes from eccentric people. I made some myself, and since I was worried about getting cravings here, I brought them with me..."
Liao Yueming's eyes lit up as he recalled the sorghum the miracle doctor had asked him to bring in extra, and the business deal mentioned...
A bold guess formed in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
Xue Lin suddenly understood, and exclaimed with delight, "So that's how it is! To be able to drink wine personally brewed by the divine physician is truly the greatest fortune of my life..."
Ning Xi'er said modestly, "Whether it's good or not, please judge for yourselves..."
With days spent rescuing people, Ning Xi'er naturally had no time to brew wine.
The liquor poured for the man was a high-proof sorghum liquor.
The wine poured for the woman was a low-alcohol peach blossom wine, less than ten degrees.
They were all taken out by Ning Xi'er from her physical space, from her previous life.
She went out for a while before the meal, so Xue Lin and the others assumed that she took it out of the carriage she had brought and had no suspicions whatsoever.
Only Zheng Ye muttered softly, "With such fragrant wine, why hide it all the way here..."
Ning Xi'er chuckled.
This isn't because her storage space hasn't been restored for long...
Besides, with all the chasing and ambushes along the way, we were too busy trying to escape to have time to drink alone.
If you give him the drink, Zheng Chengguang, the Duke of Huguo, and others will be watching. If he accidentally lets something slip, it will cause her trouble and force her to find an excuse to cover it up.
However, Zheng Ye only dared to mutter under his breath. After all, he hadn't seen Ning Xi'er secretly drink it herself, and even His Highness hadn't had any. So, he really wasn't that angry...
Ning Xi'er smiled reassuringly, "Try it first, and then we'll see if it tastes good..."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Ye was overjoyed and gathered with Xue Lin, the county magistrate, the registrar, Qin Yuan, and others, eagerly taking a sip.
Everyone present stared wide-eyed, then their faces flushed slightly as they savored the memory...
"Good wine!"
Zheng Ye slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed in admiration.
Xue Lin's daughter was startled, and Ning Xi'er quickly patted her back, worried that she was frightened.
Ning Xi'er gave Zheng Ye a warning look.
Zheng Ye, embarrassed but with a smile on his face, said, "This wine is strong! It's really delicious!"
The Grand Commandant was also a lover of wine, and rarely spoke, but said, "It has a mellow taste and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth."
The clerk added, "It's spicy on the palate, but not overpowering, with a long, mellow aftertaste—truly a fine wine!"
Zheng Ye looked at Ning Xi'er expectantly, his attitude self-evident.
I hope Ning Xi'er can brew some more so we can drink it again in the future.
Of course, the more the better...
Ning Xi'er ignored it and looked at Madam Xue Lin, "Sister-in-law, why don't you try some too?"
Xue Lin, the county magistrate, the registrar, and other men present, not to mention Zheng Ye, including Qin Yuan and Liao Yueming, all secretly glanced at the wine in Xue Lin's wife's bowl.
The delicate aroma of peach blossom wine had already stimulated everyone's sense of smell.
Zheng Ye couldn't contain himself and asked Ning Xi'er for a drink, "What is your drink, sister-in-law? Let me have a taste!"
The other men craned their necks involuntarily. Ning Xi'er found it amusing and asked Madam Xue Lin for another bowl, asking Gan Cao to pour some for each of them.
Ah! It smells so good!
"The wine has a mild flavor, making it suitable for the elderly and women. Men with a low alcohol tolerance can also enjoy it!"
"Unlike the previous wine, this one has a refreshing aroma on the palate and a mellow aftertaste. It's truly a superb wine!"
......
Zheng Ye accidentally downed the whole bowl in one gulp, then looked at Ning Xi'er with the bowl in his hand and asked, "Can I have another bowl?"
