After closing the gate, Xu Jianguo checked his watch and saw it was already past ten o'clock. He thought for a moment, then looked down at Lele in his arms and asked, "Girl, shall we go find mom?"
"Okay, okay!" Lele clapped his hands and said in a baby voice.
So, the father and daughter slipped into the space.
At this time in the courtyard, Wen Sitian had just woken up. After reading the note left by Xu Jianguo, the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Because of the couple's madness last night, she didn't want to move yet. Although she didn't feel tired after being transformed by the intermediate gene enhancement potion, she just liked this lazy feeling now.
After lying down for a while, Wen Sitian sat up from the bed. Just as she was about to stretch, she saw Xu Jianguo walking in from outside holding Lele.
"Mom!" Lele shouted happily as soon as he saw Wen Sitian.
"Hey!" Wen Sitian smiled immediately when she saw her daughter and stretched out her hands to the little girl.
"Have the girls and Wenwen been sent to school?" Wen Sitian held Lele in her arms and asked Xu Jianguo.
"Well, it's delivered. How's it going? Are you hungry?"
"It's okay, I won't eat now, let's wait and eat together at noon!"
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Wen Sitian thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat the spicy hot pot you made last time!"
"Okay, you're craving spicy food again? You want something really spicy?"
"Yeah!" Wen Sitian nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll do it for you later!"
"good!"
The couple played with Lele for a while. Then Xu Jianguo turned on the TV in the bedroom, found the little girl's favorite cartoon, clicked play, and went to the kitchen to start preparing lunch for the day.
When it comes to eating spicy food, the three girls in the family are getting closer and closer to Wen Sitian. This is understandable for Daya and Erya because they are originally from Sichuan.
But this girl, Funiu, also loves spicy food. He really can't understand it. He once wondered if this girl also has the genes of Bashu or Xiangnan in her body.
After having lunch with his wife and daughter, Xu Jianguo went to the wine cellar.
He was going to the old man's house for dinner in the evening, so he had to prepare some liquor in advance. However, this time, he was not going to bring those branded Moutai or Wuliangye, but a few jars of Fu Bo's homemade liquor.
When talking about winemaking, we have to mention the old Taoist priest. It has been several years since the old man left the space and returned to Qingyun Temple to live alone.
He only returned to the space once with Xu Jianguo when Lele was born.
Xu Jianguo would visit him every now and then. Even if he didn't have time, he would ask Fu Bo and Du Yu to send him some daily necessities.
Although the Qingyun Temple is still in ruins, that is only the surface condition. The old Taoist priest's own residence has long been tidied up by him.
Moreover, as his Taiqing Jue mental method improved, although he still looked old, his physical condition was many times stronger than before.
Xu Jianguo once took his pulse and found that the old man's current physical condition was comparable to that of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
He has a ruddy complexion, white hair and beard, and his worn but clean Taoist robe and shoes give him the air of a hermit or an immortal.
But despite this, after the two had fought countless times, he was still no match for Xu Jianguo, and he was so angry that he cursed Xu Jianguo as a monster.
Xu Jianguo came up with the idea of brewing his own wine because he was inspired by the old Taoist priest.
In order to help the old Taoist priest regulate his body, every time he went there, he would fill his water tank with space well water and remind him to drink more.
But an old man living alone could not consume much even if he ate, drank and made tea every day. So the old Taoist priest harvested the leftover grain from his fields and brewed it into white wine.
The water used to brew these liquors is space well water.
Once when Xu Jianguo went to see the old Taoist priest, the old man brought out a jar, intending to show off.
As a result, when Xu Jianguo took a sip, he found that the taste was indeed good. Although it was still young, its taste and aroma were countless times better than the Moutai that he had stored in his cellar for hundreds of years.
So Xu Jianguo decided to go back and try it himself, but he never expected that after this try, he couldn't stop.
As jars of pure grain-brewed liquor came out of the oven, Xu Jianguo directly asked Fu Bo to seal them with mud and then throw them into the wine cellar. With the blessing of 120 times the flow rate of time, a true century-old cellar was born.
When Xu Jianguo opened the jar for the first time, the entire courtyard was filled with the extremely rich aroma of wine.
The amber-colored, slightly viscous wine poured into the cup looked very nice. Even Wenwen, Lele and the three girls couldn't resist the temptation of the rich aroma and clamored to have a taste. Xu Jianguo had no choice but to dip some with the tip of his chopsticks and put it on the little tongues of the five mythical beasts.
The unanimous evaluation is that it is not spicy, a little sweet, and you still want to drink it...
In the end, it was Wen Sitian who stepped in and the five people calmed down.
Later, when Xu Jianguo went to the labor camp to visit Wu Dajiang and Zhou Huainan, he accidentally heard a local militia soldier talking about making medicinal wine, which gave him inspiration again.
After returning to the space, he went to the medicine garden and brewed several jars of medicinal wine according to several medicinal wine recipes in ancient medical books, which have the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
The jars that Fu Bo chose to make wine were five pounds in capacity. Xu Jianguo planned to prepare a jar of medicinal wine for each of Su Dingshan, Wu Tianlong, Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang, and also a jar of pure white wine for them to drink tonight.
Thanks to Fu Bo's hard work, there are now more than 200 jars of homemade liquor in Xu Jianguo's wine cellar that are over a hundred years old, and dozens of jars that are over 200 years old.
Seeing that the space in the wine cellar was getting smaller and smaller, Xu Jianguo had no choice but to stop Fu Bo and adjust the flow of time back to normal. This amount of wine was enough for him to squander for more than ten years.
After putting five jars of white wine in a wooden box, Xu Jianguo asked Fu Bo to prepare thirty kilograms of fresh mutton for him and cut it all into thin slices.
There are thirteen people having dinner tonight. Xu Jianguo thought about it and decided that it would be more convenient to make a steaming hot pot.
It not only warms the house, but also serves as a nourishing tonic in winter. As for the source of the mutton, he has already thought about it and said that he drove to the Oroqen village near the base to buy it.
After getting the wine and meat, he prepared some potatoes, cabbage, fungus and vermicelli, and asked Fu Bo and Du Yu to go to the mountains and pick a lot of wild vegetables.
After everything was ready, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
After Xu Jianguo returned to the third courtyard and said something to Wen Sitian, he took her and Lele out of the space and returned home.
Then he drove towards the kindergarten and school, ready to pick up Wenwen and the three girls from school.
