The braised beef ribs were so filling that everyone had no time to talk. The ingredients were so generous that she could even see everyone's qi circulating very healthily.
Especially the brother and sister Liu Min and Liu Qing, who were eating Ling Ju’s cooking for the first time, wished that the word “delicious” would be welded on their foreheads.
Ling Dawei also prepared his own medicinal wine to share with everyone.
When Song Qi saw the medicinal wine in the glass jar, he found that the ingredients inside were the same as the one he drank at his house last time. He felt a little scared when he thought about the tonic effect.
But he was also wondering, Ling Dawei looked in good health, very strong and not fat at all, why did he drink such nourishing wine?
Song Wei, Liu Qing, Qian Yuan, who were unaware of the power of the medicinal wine, and even Chen Yun, who had an average alcohol tolerance, each had a glass.
The moment Ling Dawei handed the bottle to Song Qi, he calmly put the jar aside and didn't pour it for himself. He really didn't need it. Drinking too much would make your nose bleed, so let these people drink it.
Liu Min stared at the ingredients in the jar in a trance: mulberries, wolfberries, red dates, ginseng, and some other things that she couldn't recognize.
Liu Min also ordered a cup.
The alcohol content of the grain wine this time is not high, only about 30 to 40 degrees, and the red dates and mulberries have a sweet taste. It tastes sweet and warms the stomach.
Liu Min drank two more sips.
"Uncle Ling, this will make you get a sore throat, right? But it tastes pretty good." Song Wei said after taking a sip.
Ling Dawei smiled and said, "It's okay to drink two or three cups. It's good to eat and drink some warming and nourishing food in autumn. If you drink this whole jar, you will definitely have a nosebleed when you wake up tomorrow."
"It's delicious and sweet."
"Yes, it's a bit like the wine that foreigners like to drink. What's it called?" Qian Yuan couldn't remember.
Liu Qing friendly reminder, "Red wine? Wine?"
"Yeah, yeah, but it tastes much better than that."
Tian Mei said, "We can make our own wine, and it's better than what foreigners make. We have a grape rack in our yard back home, and we make some every summer when the grapes are ripe. But we can't make too much, because it has a strong aftertaste. If you want to drink it, wait until next summer and plant two grape racks."
"Auntie, you don't drink, but you know a lot about winemaking?"
Tian Mei looked at Song Wei, but before she could say anything, Ling Dawei interrupted, "Why didn't she drink? Maybe she did. I can't even drink more than your aunt. I'm not exaggerating, she can drink all of us under the table by herself!"
After Ling Dawei finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at Tian Mei.
Tian Mei felt a little embarrassed, "Well, when I was young, I drank a little, but it's not as exaggerated as you said, and I even drank a whole table of people."
"I'm not bragging, I'm stating the facts!"
Ling Ju was shocked. She had never seen Tian Mei drink before.
"Mom, is what Dad said true?"
Tian Mei nodded embarrassedly, "I don't like to drink it now. You young people can drink it. When I get older, I like to drink some tea and boiled water. I'm not interested in anything else."
At this moment, Ling Ju suddenly felt that the original owner's memory contained too few details about his parents.
She searched through her entire memory but found no trace of Tian Mei drinking.
She didn't know if she had any memories before the age of seven, but she couldn't see any memories before the age of seven.
Although she was curious about the lost memories, she was more of a believer in the idea that it might as well be there or not.
I have to say that today's braised steak was a great success. Although we didn't finish the ten pounds of beef ribs, we cleared out all the other dishes.
The big bowl of hand-rolled noodles made by Tian Mei was eaten up, and everyone felt like they had to hold on to the wall to get out.
After the meal, everyone in the room looked much more rosy-looking.
Several men helped to clear away the dishes and wash them. Only then did Ling Ju realize that there were a lot of gifts piled up in the corner of the living room. It seemed that they were brought by these men.
"Song Qi, sometimes I feel like it's unreal. I always feel like we eat so well in this era of scarcity. While most people are eating radishes, potatoes, and cabbage, we have plenty of rice and flour, plenty of oil and water, and even plenty of meat at every meal."
Song Qi touched her shoulder and said, "As long as you have money, you can live happily in any era and any country."
"That's the truth. But you didn't eat well as a child. Even if you had money back then, you wouldn't dare spend it!"
"Yes, I didn't eat well when I was young, but I've made up for it in recent years."
Song Wei on the side was not shy, "If you think the food is too good, I can ask someone to dig you a few bags of wild vegetables, tree bark, and shoe soles or something."
"Don't look down on wild vegetables. Wang Baochuan would have starved to death without them."
"What? Wang Baochuan?"
"Yes, don't you know? Wang Baochuan eats wild vegetables every day. Because she was in love and found a heartless man, she had no choice but to eat wild vegetables."
Song Wei shook his head, "I don't know."
"But wild vegetables are delicious. They can be used to make dumplings or salads. But it's not the season now, so where can we get wild vegetables? If we want wild vegetables, we have to dig them up in April or May."
Tian Mei was quite curious. "Juzi, you couldn't even cook egg noodles before, but now you know the growing season of wild vegetables in Jing'an?"
Ling Ju smiled, "Mom, I didn't know before because I didn't understand. Now that I understand, I know. People grow up! Look, I have a child now. Two years ago, could you have imagined what I would have now?"
Tian Mei shook her head. "I really didn't dare. I used to think that as long as you were alive, that was all I needed. I didn't dare ask for anything else!"
Ling Ju looked at Tian Mei's serious face and suddenly felt a little guilty. She gently hugged Tian Mei's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Not only will I live well, but I will live a wonderful life. This will make you and Dad worry less, and my brother can live an easy life too! Our family will only become happier and happier!"
