Chapter 60: I couldn't help it (seeking recommendation votes)
Put one bowl in front of grandma and one in front of yourself: "Grandma, eat first, and then we can talk after dinner."
After saying that, Mei Xue picked up a piece of meat for her grandmother.
It's a pity that since Grandma He had Meixue, she hasn't been able to show off so happily for a long time.
Everyone in the village has shown off to her before, so it’s no longer new.
She finally got the chance, how could she miss it? "It's okay, I'm not hungry, you eat first."
As he spoke, he poured a little bit of wine for the boss. Look carefully, just a little bit.
The kind without even a bottom of the bowl.
There's still a mouthful of food left at the bottom of the bowl, let me try the flavor.
"Auntie, you are too stingy. Please give me more." He is a wine lover and always likes to drink one or two glasses on weekdays.
He can tell whether the wine is good or bad just by smelling it. Of course, it is a family tradition, and not only he likes to drink it, but his father likes it even more.
Unfortunately, his father is in poor health and can no longer drink with him.
"That won't do. If I give you more, I'll be at a loss. Do you know how difficult it is for my Xiaoxue to brew this wine? I even scrapped several jars to make this little."
The old lady said with open eyes and a sad heart, "We only brought a little wine today, and we have to find an owner to sell it to later." The old lady was very stingy.
When the boss heard this, his eyes lit up, "Auntie, do you want to sell this wine?"
"Yes, I still have over a hundred pounds at home. If I don't sell it, I won't be able to finish it." The old lady gave him a look that said, "You're stupid."
"That's great, Auntie, can you sell all of it to me?" The boss stopped drinking and immediately changed his identity, "I'm telling you, Auntie, you've seen this store, I also sell wine at home, look."
After saying that, he pointed to his own wine cabinet and said that there were several kinds of wine on it, but they were all ready-made products from the store.
The old lady didn't understand. "Is that wine? Why is it packaged so beautifully? It must be expensive."
"Yes, it's very expensive." If it wasn't expensive, would his wine still be around today?
"Auntie, look, let me try it again. If this wine is okay, I'll take all of it." The boss was so generous.
As soon as the boss finished speaking, another voice came from behind Mei Xue, "Boy, can you eat it all by yourself?"
Seeing the person coming, the boss stood up and said, "Haha, it's Uncle Shi. Have you eaten well today?" How could he forget about this person? This person is an old drunkard. It's a pity to waste such good wine.
The boss was so regretful that he should have let the old lady eat in the kitchen.
Mei Xue also slowed down her movements. She had never thought that having a meal could actually help her find a buyer for the wine. It was really...
Looking at her grandmother, Mei Xue's face was full of pride.
Grandma He didn't care whether it was Uncle Shi or not. When she heard that someone else was interested, her face lit up.
"Haha, Big Brother also likes this?" She made it seem like she loved wine so much.
Uncle Shi didn't care about the shop owner's expression and sat down on the bench next to Grandma He. "Sure, big sister, how much? How many pounds?"
Mei Xue looked up at the sky and saw a really big cow. However, cows could not be eaten, so they could only be blown.
"Not much, two pounds, not more, not less." Grandma He is also an expert.
"Bibi?" The old man's eyes lit up. Apart from those old friends, he couldn't find anyone who could compete with him in drinking.
"No." Grandma He shook her head. "My wine is expensive. We can't compare."
In just a few words, she turned to her own wine. I have to say, Grandma He is truly a talented person.
"It's okay, he has money, let him buy it, we drink it, it's his." Uncle Shi is such an uncle.
The shop owner's name is Zhao. He and Uncle Shi are uncle and nephew. Uncle Shi and his father were comrades-in-arms. If he really wants to ask for it, he dare not refuse.
"Really?" Grandma He's eyes lit up. "Can he buy them all? You know, my family brews three different flavors of wine, and the price is not cheap."
"Tell me, how much is one pound?"
The two old men ignored Boss Zhao and started negotiating the price.
“Not expensive, the best five bucks...”
Before Grandma He finished talking about the price, Boss Zhao and Uncle Shi were almost knocked to the ground by the shock of the price.
"Auntie, your wine is good, but the price is too high. You know, I only spend ten yuan on a bottle of Moutai now." Boss Zhao was very anxious.
Good wine should not be missed, but the price was too much for him to accept.
Fortunately, I didn't agree to it just now, otherwise...
Mei Xue was also confused. Five yuan, she didn't seem to have said that, did she? She finally regained some of her attention from the food and looked at her grandmother.
Seeing that she didn't look anxious, she should just eat. The dish was really delicious.
"Is it expensive? You don't know the benefits of my wine. Let me tell you..."
Mei Xue even wondered after hearing all this bragging that her grandma knew that she had added space water into it, or that her grandma knew that she had space?
"How is this possible?" After hearing this, Uncle Shi was the first one who didn't believe it.
Grandma He was also angry. How dare someone doubt her own Xiaoxue? "You don't believe me, okay? Come on, Xiaoxue, give me the wine. Let this old man have a taste. I can tell from the looks of it that he has never seen anything good."
Mei Xue was very well behaved and obedient. She took out the bottle of wine she had just put away from her bag.
"Give."
"You old man, don't you believe me? I won't make any money today. I'm going to fight for this. I'm telling you, when you get the benefits, I won't sell it for five dollars anymore."
Grandma He is so strong-willed.
Just pour a full bowl of wine for Uncle Shi, this bowl is the one that Boss Zhao brought.
Pass it to him, "Drink."
He looks like a bandit, with his eyes glaring at you, as if he won't stop unless you drink.
Uncle Shi could no longer resist the aroma. Plum wine was not considered a good wine, but he had drunk it before, at a fellow villager's house during the war.
The taste is not that good, but it is definitely not worth the price of five yuan per pound.
"Okay, if it's good wine, I'll pay for it all at ten yuan a pound." Uncle Shi is also a man with a bad temper.
The first sip of the wine gave him a rich aroma that really gave him a different experience. He took another sip and it was mellow.
Before he knew it, Uncle Shi had finished the bowl of wine. He even picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and ate it. It tasted so good.
"Aijun, come on, help me get another plate of meat, and put more fat in the braised pork." Uncle Shi is a real uncle.
Mei Xue put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "You've finished our dishes, what will my grandma eat?" she said with an unhappy look on her face.
At this time, Uncle Shi also came back to his senses from the aroma of the wine, and said with an embarrassed look: "Well, sister, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it."
Grandma He didn't care about the dishes; she cared more about the wine which cost ten yuan per pound.
