The next morning, Meng Tao set the alarm to get up early and prepare breakfast. Unexpectedly, Director Shen arrived earlier than her and had already returned from the canteen with steamed buns, fried dough sticks and sesame cakes. He also cooked a pot of rice porridge, boiled eggs, two plates of pickled cucumbers and kimchi, and set the table. Meng Zhehan and cousin Xu were also called up. When they saw Meng Tao and Shen Yu coming down from upstairs, Director Shen asked everyone to sit down and have breakfast.

Meng Tao secretly felt ashamed, looking at what she, the new daughter-in-law, had done.

But you can't blame her, because her father-in-law is too active and doesn't give her the opportunity to perform.

As newlyweds, Shen Yu didn't want his wife to get up too early. He just wanted to see her sleeping in the bed. But when he thought about the fact that his wife would have to practice martial arts in the future, she would have to get used to getting up early, so he let her set the alarm.

After breakfast, while cousin Xu was talking to Director Shen and Shen Yu, Meng Zhehan also talked to Meng Tao about her safety. Meng Tao politely declined Meng Zhehan's offer to arrange an attendant or female "companion" for her, saying that she did not want her private life to be exposed to others, and that she and Shen Yu were basically together, so Shen Yu could protect her.

No matter how Meng Zhehan tried to persuade him, it was useless and he felt helpless.

Xu Hengkai talked with Director Shen and Shen Yu about some things in Beijing and the Xu family.

Director Shen asked Xu Hengkai: "Now that we have finished dealing with everything here, can you stay for two more days? Your uncle will take you to a restaurant in the city to taste the local cuisine."

"Thank you, uncle. We have to go back and report. We will leave soon. Come back next time."

Xu Hengkai looked at Meng Tao, who had lost her temper due to Meng Zhehan's nagging, and said, "Taotao is a good cook. The food she made last night was better than the one in the restaurant."

Director Shen laughed: "What cooking skills can a little girl like her have? She just learned a few tricks from the factory chef."

Shen Yu said to Xu Hengkai, "My eldest cousin and Zhehan gave us wedding gifts. Taotao liked them very much. We didn't have anything good to give in return. We happened to get a few jars of wine. You tasted the peach blossom wine last night. If you think it's okay, take two jars back to drink."

If it was something else, Xu Hengkai would not be tempted, nor would he want it, but when he heard about last night's peach blossom wine, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I have to thank my brother and sister-in-law!"

The peach blossom wine he drank last night had an alluring color and aroma, a mellow taste, and a warm feeling in his stomach. He could feel a force rising slowly from his dantian, and his meridians became unobstructed. His original tiredness and fatigue disappeared instantly, and his energy gradually gathered and recovered and filled his body. He felt indescribably comfortable... He knew that this wine was definitely not an ordinary thing!

He was only surprised when he found the big pearl in the sea, but he didn't feel very happy. Now his cousin wanted to give him two jars of wine, which really made him overjoyed:

"I'll take this wine back and let Grandpa and Dad have a taste."

Shen Yu said: "No, I will make other arrangements at home."

"That would be great. Can you give me a few more jars?"

"What? Drinking every day? Don't want to work anymore?"

"How could I do that? I just wanted to reward my brothers. We have been working so hard in all weathers. This time, we have exhausted all our energy in the pursuit of the Great Golden Shark. We thought we could definitely catch it, but it turned out to be a fake... It is inevitable that we will feel depressed. I want to give them a taste of this rare good thing to encourage them."

"Okay, you can take the five-jin bottle, one jar each of peach blossom wine and pear blossom wine."

"And pear blossom wine?"

When Director Shen heard about pear blossom wine, he couldn't sit still and said, "Let's open a small jar and taste it. If you don't like it..."

"No need, uncle, I want them all!"

Xu Hengkai is not stupid. How can it be bad if it appears together with peach blossom wine? "Is it okay to go back so far? The pottery jar will break if touched."

"Don't worry!"

Shen Yu took Xu Hengkai to the storage room to move the wine.

Last night, his wife discussed with him: that beautiful deep-sea pearl is very valuable. She is still studying how to open the Lu Ban Box and doesn't know what's inside, but the box alone is very valuable. She has to give a gift to cousin Xu and brother Zhehan. They both like peach blossom wine very much. Since she has to sell the wine anyway, she might as well give them two jars.

The couple had placed six jars of wine in the storage room in advance, three jars each of peach blossom wine and pear blossom wine. The two-jin jars were prepared for Cousin Xu and Meng Zhehan, and the two five-jin jars were reserved for Director Shen to drink slowly or to entertain relatives and friends. Now they were taken away by Cousin Xu.

Director Shen followed him into the storage room and saw the jars of wine on the bottom shelf. He thought they were what his son and daughter-in-law had just brought back yesterday, and he was very happy. Xu Hengkai and Meng Zhehan each took two jars, and the remaining two jars were enough for him to drink slowly for a while.

He usually likes to taste tea and drink a little wine. He has collected various famous teas and wines. The peach blossom wine he drank last night was really a very special feeling. Perhaps the nectar described in the book is just like this.

His son and daughter-in-law were filial and brought back a lot of good things for him. Director Shen was very pleased and he was in for a treat.

Xu Hengkai and Meng Zhehan said goodbye and left. In addition to the jar of wine, Director Shen also brought two jars of pickled cucumbers and kimchi that Xu Hengkai liked to eat. He said that it was the first time he had eaten them because he was busy with work and didn't go home often. Even if he went home and had such delicious food, he wouldn't give it to him. The reason was that he was disobedient to his elders and never got married. He was introduced to many people but he refused to cooperate... He sounded quite pitiful, and his uncle felt sorry for him.

Shen Yu also gave Xu Hengkai a pound of Mingqian tea, which he had promised him before; Meng Zhehan had no shortage of these things, just as he often replenished Meng Tao with milk powder, various snacks and clothing supplies, and Meng Tao also did not forget to send him packages, which were still not finished.

This time Meng Tao gave him a large aluminum lunch box in a net bag. When he opened it in the car, he saw it was full of wild raspberries, as big as a thumb, plump, bright and translucent like agate beads. They were sweet and refreshing to the taste of one.

Meng Zhehan was happy and touched, his eyes were red: his good sister, knowing that he loved to eat sweet fruits, gave him so many. The raspberry vines also had thorns, so it was very difficult to pick them. I was afraid that she would not be willing to eat them in the mountains, so she saved them all for him!

If Shen Yu was present at this time, he would tell Meng Zhehan not to think too much, because all these little red fruits were picked by him.

There are seven or eight bunches of raspberries growing on the cliff of the stone platform, and the fruits are in bunches like grapes. After they are picked, they grow again. After they are picked, they grow again. My wife can't eat them all in different ways, so she saved several large jars of them, and the miser plans to make jam and sell it for money.

My daughter-in-law can take objects from a distance and teleport in space, but on the stone platform suspected to be the "ascension platform", the rules of space do not apply and there are restrictions. For example, planting and picking fruits have to be done by hand.

So now Shen Yu is responsible for growing the vegetables and fruits on the cliff of the stone platform, and his wife focuses more on the space on the second floor.
