Chapter 46 Drinking.

Tian Xinhua calculated that they steamed a hundred kilograms of sorghum at a time, and the result was about ninety kilograms of wine. Tian Si thought that it was probably because they did not add the liquid in the Qiong Pond, but the ninety kilograms of wine already made the old man and Tian Xinhua extremely happy. In the past, the wine master could only produce fifty kilograms of wine when brewing one hundred kilograms, but now A-nan and Xinhua can produce ninety kilograms, and the quality of the wine is so good. God bless the Tian family!

Mrs. Zhao was so happy that she couldn't help chanting Buddha's name. When Tian Xinhua saw that it was still early, he thought about steaming another vat. Tian Sisi rolled her eyes at him and said softly: "Brother Xinhua, we will go to the town later to find my uncle. Let him come to the house for dinner, and the whole family will eat and drink together in the evening."

Tian Xinhua patted his head. Grandma was still thoughtful. Now that the wine is out, she now has to think about how to turn the wine into money. She must ask her uncle for help. He quickly put on his clothes and happily pushed the cart to the town. The old man reminded him from behind, "Only your uncle is here."

The old man smiled and watched the two little ones arranging things like adults. He did not interfere, but only reminded him when it was critical. In his opinion, children have to go through many things before they can grow up wisely. Although he doted on A-nan, he would be happier if A-nan could stand up on her own, so that he and the old woman could close their eyes with peace of mind.

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, I will bring out some meat later and cook more delicious dishes at night so that the family can have a good meal." Tian Sisi said with her little face raised.

"Okay, grandma, bring out some meat. Madam, go prepare the dishes now." Mrs. Zhao quickly put on her apron and prepared the dinner for dinner.

The old man waited until Mrs. Zhao walked away and then asked in a low voice: "Ana, this wine seems to be different from the one you got last time?"

"Of course it's different. The wine last time was made by Grandpa Bai Ape. It was mixed with tonics. Drinking it can make you live a hundred years. This time I brewed it myself, and there are no medicinal materials in it. The taste must be much worse." Tian Sisi explained in a low voice, deliberately saying that the wine mixed with Qiong liquid was made by White Ape.

Only then did the old man suddenly realize, and in his heart he valued the bottle of wine even more.

Tian Xinhua was lucky. Tian Mantong happened to be at home without going out. He heard his nephew tell the general situation, and he became interested. Over the years, he had been running long distances and sold countless things. However, business is getting harder and harder now. People don't even have enough to eat, and there is nothing to sell. But if there is good wine, he is guaranteed to sell it. Several hotel owners in various cities and Shanghai have asked him if they have any soju!

Excited, Tian Mantong took his third son with him, ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to talk to Wang Qiumeng, and then drove back to Yuequan Village. On the way, he also bought a dozen jars. Tian Xinhua asked Tian Mantong to put them on first, and then deduct the money from them after the wine was sold. Tian Mantong would not care about the money. What he is most concerned about now is whether what Xinhua said is true, and if it is true, what is the quality of the wine.

In the evening, all the Tian family members went to Tian Sisi's house after work. Others in Yuequan Village were only envious when they saw him. A few jealous people said sourly: "Tian Bajin really has a good big brother. He has good food to eat every day."

"Yes, the standard of living is better than that of the landowners and wealthy people in the past!"

The people who spoke were some of the village's toughest people. All they thought about all day long was how to work less and eat more. Tian Manyin's family had the least labor force, but they had the best food. They had dry rice three times a day, and they could eat meat three or four times a month. They had been jealous for a long time, but their own father took care of his son's family, and no one could say otherwise.

But during this period, Tian Bajin's family also went to Tian Manyin's house to eat several meals. Every time they ate, their mouths were full of oil, which showed that they had eaten a lot of meat. Now they felt unbalanced. Why did everyone work the same way, but when others ate meat, they could only eat chaff? But they didn't dare to say it in front of Tian Bajin, so they had to say a few words behind his back to vent their anger.

"What are you talking about? It's none of your business to have a meal together as a family. Now that you have all the strength, you can pick up manure for me tomorrow." After hearing these two words, Zhong Boqiang became angry. What could be better than a wealthy landlord? Brother Tian's current life was obtained from guns. The government takes care of these old revolutionaries and lets them eat better. There is nothing to be jealous of. They are really a bunch of lazy people.

When Zhong Boqiang said this, everyone became like birds and beasts. Picking manure is the dirtiest job. Who would want to do it if their whole body smells bad at the end of the day.

In the evening, the old man didn't ask Tian Bajin's family to come. He only called Tian Bajin, plus the two brothers Tian Mantu and Tian Manmu, and the two brothers Tian Jinhua and Tian Shouhua. In his opinion, women are not very strict with their mouths. It is better not to let the women in the family know about these things.

Mrs. Zhao asked Tian Xinhua and Tian Sisi to bring a few bowls of meat and vegetables over there, so that the women and children over there would not have food to eat. Mrs. Zhao and Zhu Aiqing also took the younger children in the family to another room to eat, in case the children were not careful and leaked. Only two juniors, Tian Xinhua and Tian Shouhua, were left in the main room, and even Tian Sisi was not there.

The old man didn't say much. He just asked Tian Xinhua to pour a glass of wine for everyone present. After the wine was poured, the old man took the lead in holding up the wine glass and motioned for everyone to drink. Tian Bajin and others didn't know what the old man was selling. Looking at the old man's expression, it seemed that something big had happened. They felt uneasy, but they didn't ask any more questions and drank the wine in the glass. After drinking, the men's eyes lit up. Where did this good wine come from?

Although Tian Mantong drives, he is the drunkest among the men in the Tian family. Wang Qiumeng has been anxious with him several times. Fortunately, Tian Mantong has good self-control and never drinks before driving. Otherwise, what would have happened. Now he could taste the extraordinary quality of the wine as soon as he took it in, and he hurriedly motioned to Tian Xinhua to pour it again.

Tian Xinhua looked at the old man and did not dare to fall down. Tian Mantong smiled and scolded: "You brat, your uncle is not going back to town tonight, so hurry up and fall down."

Tian Xinhua then smiled and gave Tian Mantong a full cup. Others also asked Tian Xinhua to add more. Several people drank two cups in a row before they felt satisfied. Tian Manyin ate two pieces of meat and asked with a smile: "Dad, where does this wine come from? It's better than what the wine master makes."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. The old man slowly picked up some peanuts and chewed them. He didn't say anything, just hanging on to the big guy. When the peanuts were swallowed, he took another sip of wine, feeling very satisfied.

After his appetite was whetted, the old man said, "This wine was made by Xinhua and A'nan together."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Tian Mantong had known about it for a long time, but he was very calm and kept drinking and eating.

"Uncle, when did Xinhua and A'nan know how to make wine? The two little kids are just a little older." Tian Mantu didn't believe it, thinking that the old man was joking.

Tian Xinhua was not convinced, "Uncle, your ambition lies in your youth. Don't look down on others. Grandma and I brewed this wine together."

Tian Manyin believed it. In his opinion, his daughter was so smart. It was a very simple thing for A-nan to want to make wine (it is actually a very happy thing to have a daughter-controlled father). Moreover, A-nan and Xinhua had been talking to each other in the past few days, and even let a few little guys hug the firewood. It turned out that these two people were making wine!

After the old man explained again, everyone finally believed that the wine was made by Xinhua and Ah Nan in the past few days. The old man also said that the grain for brewing was obtained by someone else. Not everyone disbelieved what the old man said. In their view, there was nothing that the powerful old man could not do.

Seeing that everyone accepted his statement, the old man was very satisfied. He took a sip of wine and said: "I called you here today to discuss the wine. The wine has been brewed. I plan to sell Mantong. After deducting the principal, the remaining money will be divided into five parts. One share for Bajinjia, one share for my family, one share for A-nan, one share for Xinhua, and one share for Mantong. However, this money is only divided between Bajinjia for two years. I am the eldest brother to help my brother. After two years, the money earned from this brewing will be shared equally between Xinhua, A-nan and Mantong. Do you have any opinions?"

Of course the big guys have no objection. You can get money for free without any effort or money. Even if it only lasts for two years, it’s not bad. Only a fool would have an opinion. Tian Bajin frowned and said to the old man: "Brother, is it too much for grandma? And why does grandma need to make this wine? After all, grandma is not from our Tian family."
