Mulberry wine

Northwest Research Base.

After a busy half month, Ji Weiqing finally had a half-day holiday to rest.

Although they were not the main research team, they were exhausted after coming here to help.

In particular, there were several times when the teacher's health was about to collapse, but he still remembered his tea.

Strangely enough, this wild tea seems to have the function of refreshing the mind, or maybe it is the teacher's psychological effect.

Every time the teacher was overworked, he would feel refreshed after drinking tea. He even suspected that the teacher was deliberately using a self-torture tactic to cheat him out of his tea.

The teacher coaxed and tricked him into giving away half of his wild tea. He wanted to persuade the teacher to drink less tea, but the teacher used the excuse of being unwell to stop him from talking.

Ji Weiqing felt helpless about this.

He found a bottle of mulberry wine while packing his luggage.

He remembered that it was mulberry wine made from Maotai tea. When it was inspected, the soldiers just glanced at it and did not confiscate it.

Thinking of how she stuffed the bottle of wine into his luggage before he left, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of his lips.

He was not a big drinker, but since it was her intention, he might as well try it.

Ji Weiqing was having a drink in the dormitory when he unexpectedly saw his teacher who was attending a meeting coming to the dormitory with a group of academicians who were more experienced than him.

The mulberry wine on the table had not been put away yet.

The teacher was the first to discover mulberry wine.

"You kid, you've been living with me for so many days and yet you've been secretly hiding alcohol!"

Academician Huang said with a smile: "The conditions here are a bit harsh. There is yellow sand everywhere when you go out. Thank you for your hard work this time."

The dean waved his hand and said, "We are all working towards a common goal, for the prosperity of our motherland. The hardships we endure are temporary, and everything will be fine."

As he spoke, he quickly grabbed the mulberry wine on the table and couldn't help but take a deep sip. This wine was so fragrant.

"Let's drink while we can. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for the results of the experiment today. Why don't we have a drink during the break?"

We have been working non-stop for half a month and finally have a half-day holiday. The smell of wine makes us horny. The last time we drank was during the Chinese New Year.

Academician Huang pretended to be embarrassed: "This is not good. How can you even steal your students' things?"

The dean looked at Ji Weiqing and waited for him to speak.

Ji Weiqing frowned slightly. He was not unhappy because the wine was taken away, but he was worried about whether the elderly man could drink.

He said thoughtfully, "Teachers, please go ahead, but you should drink moderately as you are older."

Academician Su smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have physical examinations every year, and it's not a problem to have a drink occasionally."

The dean said proudly, "I know my student best. He doesn't drink alcohol. This wine must be prepared for me, right?"

Ji Weiqing felt it necessary to explain.

"This is the fruit wine my wife brewed herself. She asked me to take it with me before I leave."

The dean blushed and said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? We are too embarrassed to drink."

Several academicians also asked the dean to put the wine back.

"She knows that I don't drink often. Mulberry wine can relieve visual fatigue. Several teachers often stay up all night to drink together."

The dean also thought it made sense. It was boring to drink alone. Comrade Song was very thoughtful.

After pouring a glass of mulberry wine for each person, there was still 100 ml left, enough for Ji Weiqing to have a drink every day.

Academician Huang took a sip and praised highly: "This wine is really fragrant. The mulberries don't steal the limelight from the wine, and you can taste the sweetness of the mulberries in the wine. It's delicious."

Academician Su exclaimed with satisfaction: "It tastes much better than foreign wine."

The dean leaned back on the bed and sighed comfortably: "You married the right wife. Her winemaking skills are really impeccable."

Academician Su was very curious: "I remember that Comrade Ji was not married last year."

The dean said loudly, "He just got married last month, and he came here without even taking his wedding leave."

Academician Su was filled with sympathy: "Wouldn't that mean the young lady would be left alone in an empty room?"

The dean sighed, "With his character, it's already a big improvement for him to be able to marry a wife. Let's go back and teach him slowly."

Academician Su liked Ji Weiqing very much. Ji Weiqing had great achievements in mathematics and physics and was a natural talent with high IQ. Unfortunately, his IQ also dominated his EQ.

People who don't know Xiao Ji's personality think he is arrogant and sometimes speaks too arrogantly. But after getting to know him, you will find that he is just straightforward and humble, but he doesn't know how to express himself tactfully.

"Is your wife's name Comrade Song? Be nice to her when you get home. It's not right to leave her alone after getting married."

Ji Weiqing listened attentively, but what should he do to be good to her?

Everyone sipped the wine slowly, and a small, heart-to-heart drinking exchange officially came to an end. Ji Weiqing and the teacher watched the deans leave.

"Do you know why I asked you to share the wine?"

Ji Weiqing shook his head obediently.

"If you want to be on the same level as them in the future, you need to have more in-depth exchanges with them. I know your professional ability is not inferior to anyone else, but I am very worried about your ability to deal with people. Alcohol is the thing that can best bring people closer together."

Ji Weiqing seemed to understand but not quite.

"If you want to become one of them, you must first pass the recommendation and selection. There are many professors who are more experienced than you. Why would they recommend you for no reason? I won't say much about other things. Just focus on your studies and I will slowly guide you in the ways of the world."

Ji Weiqing knew that the teacher was doing this for his own good, so he poured the teacher another half cup.

The dean was happily drinking his wine.

"The best thing that has ever happened to me in my life is that I have become your teacher."

This little wine tastes really good, he asked curiously,

"What kind of wine did your comrade Song use to make mulberry wine?"

Ji Weiqing answered honestly: "Maotai."

The dean's hand holding the wine trembled.

"Maotai?! She uses such expensive wine to make fruit wine!"

Ji Weiqing explained for her: "Her hometown is in the countryside, and she doesn't know Maotai."

The dean held up the wine glass and said, "When I think that this wine is Maotai, my heart feels like it's been ripped out."

Isn't it superfluous to use such expensive wine to make fruit wine?

"Teacher, mulberry wine is good for the body. If it's Maotai, you can't drink the second glass."

What he said was not wrong, and the dean felt a little relieved. But he couldn't help but feel annoyed as to why he had to share the wine just now. Couldn't they drink secretly in the dormitory?

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Academician Huang showed off his beauty in front of the mirror. He and his wife are not only husband and wife but also colleagues. Most of the couples in the base are like-minded colleagues and partners.

When his wife came back from outside, she saw him humming a song in front of the mirror, playing with his hair.

"Old Huang, are you still holding on to Xiaofang and Xiaohong who fell to the ground yesterday?"

Academician Huang had a hair loss crisis when he reached middle age. His head was like an ice rink with a fence around it. His remaining hair was the most precious thing to him, and he would give a name to each hair that fell off and bury it with honor.

The ones who fell yesterday were Xiaofang and Xiaohong.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but do you think my hair has turned darker?"

The wife didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I think you are obsessed with your hair so much that you are seeing illusions."

Academician Huang sighed: "Why don't other people lose their hair? Comrade Xiao Ji also studied mathematics and physics. Logically, he should use his brain more than me."

The wife leaned against the door and joked: "Maybe his genes are different from yours, so his hair doesn't fall out."

Academician Su slept soundly all night, but his wife was startled. He would sweat when he slept in the middle of the night. The place where he slept would be soaked with sweat in the middle of the night. He would wake up when he sweated, and stop sweating when he woke up, day after day.

Recently, he has been having a serious problem with stealing sweat, and his wife pays special attention to his condition when she goes to bed at night.

Academician Su slept well that night without breaking a sweat, and his wife did not dare to close her eyes in the second half of the night.

The next day, he looked into the eyes of his wife with red eyes.

Academician Su sat up and asked: "You haven't slept yet?"

The wife forced a smile and said, "You were sweating a lot the last two nights, but last night you didn't sweat or snore at all. I stayed by your side and didn't dare to sleep."

Academician Su hugged his wife to comfort her.

"Didn't I have a physical examination during the Chinese New Year? I have no other problems except sweating and yin deficiency. Don't scare yourself. What if you get sick?"

"Besides, shouldn't this be a good thing? Look at you, you're so scared that your face has turned pale."

His wife pushed him away and said, "You are such a heartless old man. I will not care about you anymore."

Academician Su took great pains to coax his wife.

Ji Weiqing and the teacher didn't show any changes after waking up, except for the dean who felt that he had become stronger.

"You know what, even though there's nothing in the desert, I seem to have gotten stronger. I'll apply to stay here for ten days or half a month every year."

Ji Weiqing did not persuade the teacher, he knew the teacher was just talking casually, because the teacher used the same excuse to ask for wild tea from him a few days ago.

The dean felt full of energy and even wanted to go out and run a few laps with the soldiers in training.

With the help of Aunt Feng, Song Shixia planted vegetable seeds in the yard. In order to prevent the vegetables from growing too fast, she diluted the Lingquan well water ten times.

In the eyes of outsiders, the vegetables grow so fast because of the good soil and the owner's careful care.

In just half a month, the vegetables in the yard were lush and green.

Song Shixia planned to design the other side into a small garden, and then hire workers to build a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, where people could drink tea and appreciate the flowers.

The plan was perfect, but I didn't know where to find the workers, and there was no channel to buy the flower seeds.

She wanted to plant colorful roses, or maybe called Chinese roses. She couldn't tell the difference between roses and Chinese roses, so she would plant whichever color was more common.

Ji Yuan came with a small kettle to water the dishes. He was the most enthusiastic worker in the family and he wished he could water the dishes three times a day.

If Song Shixia hadn't stopped it in time, these dishes would not have survived to this day.

The two little guys haven't wanted to go to school for half a month, and Song Shixia has no idea what to do about it.

Because their excuse was that they wanted their parents to send them to school together so that they could show off to their classmates who said bad things about them.

The little guys spoke so pitifully, so Song Shixia did not force them to go to school. However, he assigned them homework of copying pinyin and memorizing words every day to prevent them from falling behind.

"Don't water too much. It rained yesterday."

Ji Yuan grabbed the water bottle and nodded heavily: "Mom, we want to eat beef noodles today."

"I see. The beef was brined last night."

Five kilograms of beef were almost finished by an adult and two children in half a month.

Song Shixia couldn't help but wonder whether Ji Weiqing's salary alone could support a family of people who only loved to eat meat.

Do the two children love to eat meat, or has she spoiled them?

She opened the refrigerator and saw a large pot of pickles, which made her feel a little more secure.

Last night she salinated the chicken feet, wings, legs and beef she bought from the cafeteria, and also salinated the dried tofu and peanuts that Aunt Feng gave her.

Because the aroma was so strong, Aunt Feng and Zhang Wanqing couldn't help but come over and ask for a bowl of brine.
