Love lasts a lifetime

Before eating the sweet liquor, Xiaoqian asked Xiao Li to carry out the fifth instruction. She did not tell him how to do it, but asked Xiao Li to use his brain. How should he execute and complete it?

But Xiao Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He said that executing this instruction is very simple, but he wants to test Xiaoqian in reverse and ask Xiaoqian to explain every process of brewing sweet liquor.

Xiaoqian said:"You want to test me? I will tell you now, but you have to listen carefully and listen attentively.

Let my mother listen too. His daughter is not only good at reading."

She didn't care. Hesitantly said:"In the first step, soak the glutinous rice in water, soak it for half a day, and then steam it in a pot. Let me test you now, can the glutinous rice be cooked and softened by steaming it this way?" Qian asked Xiao Li

"You can't fail me on this! Of course not, you have to sprinkle water over and over again before steaming, so that the glutinous rice is steamed through and soft. Am I right?"Xiao Li said with his mouth raised.

"He is right. I have already seen that Xiao Li can do everything. Do you want to test him?"Xiaoqian's mother said

"good! I'll just say step three. After the glutinous rice is steamed, pour it into a large basin, sprinkle water, add wine and medicine, and stir it with chopsticks."Xiaoqian said proudly

"Stop it! Let me ask you, water has already been sprinkled when steaming the rice. Now that the glutinous rice has been steamed and soft, why do you still need to sprinkle it with water? Aren't you afraid of becoming porridge?"

"this one…….? I don't know."

Xiaoqian was at a loss.

"Now, have you been defeated by me?"Xiao Li said proudly

"I don’t know, so tell me why?"Xiao Qian asked

"Even you don't know, and I know nothing about it. Because our family has never made wine."Xiao Li could only answer honestly.

"Listen carefully, I'll tell you. Because the appropriate amount of water is sprinkled, the white wine will have more juice and the white wine will be sweeter.

Of course, if you spill too much water, it will turn into a bowl of spoiled porridge. This is the key tip for making sweet white wine.

Also, after putting the wine and medicine in and stirring, you should quickly put it into a basin while it is still hot.

The basin must be made of ceramic, so that the basin can keep warm and the glutinous rice can ferment and turn into sweet liquor.

Quickly lift the basin to the basket where the loose feathers are placed. Cover it with a straw pot lid and cover it firmly with pine wool.

If the weather is too cold, cover the area around the pot and the lid of the grass pot tightly with old cotton clothes or linen bags.

Only in this way can the wine and medicine ferment, and sweet liquor can be brewed.

So people often say; sweet liquor is delicious, but it is too difficult to brew."Xiaoqian's mother said

"It turns out there is such deep knowledge and mystery. Listen, do you know all this?"Xiao Li said intentionally to stimulate Xiao Qian."

"I really don’t know these things. Every year during the Chinese New Year, I just watch from the side and watch my mother copying them like this. As for why she does this, I don’t ask or study it in detail."Xiaoqian said

"It seems that you are still incompetent as an examiner."Xiao Li said with a sarcastic tone.

"I know more or less, unlike you who don’t know at all"

"okay! Executor, watch how I carry out your fifth order next!

Xiao Li used a spoon to scoop the sweet white wine into two bowls.

Then Xiao Li knelt in front of the two old men and said,"Tonight is my fifth instruction to complete Teacher Xiao Zhao."

He said with his hands Holding the white wine bowl, he said respectfully:"I think tonight is the most flavorful and influential task for celebrating the New Year! Please treat the two adults to the sweet white wine you brewed by yourself! I hope the two old people's Life is like this sweet liquor, it is getting sweeter, more harmonious, and more joyful day by day."

Xiaoqian's parents hurriedly took over the sweet liquor brought by Xiao Li.

Her mother said:"Thank you Xiao Li for your blessings to us. You are so filial to us, which makes us very happy and comfortable.

Xiaoqian can marry a filial man like you. This is a blessing from our previous life.

You are honest and kind." Yes, we have always been at the mercy of Xiaoqian, and we all feel bad about it.

Get up quickly, and don’t kneel down to us all the time in the future. It makes us feel embarrassed!"

"How can we not let our son-in-law, who has just come to visit us for the first time, behave properly and perform well?"Xiao Qian touched Xiao Li's head and said with a smile

"You are not allowed to treat Xiao Li like this and treat him like a monkey in the future. Do you hear me?"Xiaoqian's father said

"yes! Obey the Father’s command!"Xiao Qian said with a playful smile.

After everyone happily finished the sweet white wine, Xiao Li asked:"Teacher Xiao Zhao!

Are there any other programs for me to perform in?"Xiao Li said with a smile

"No more tonight! Let’s talk tomorrow. Now I give an order to go to bed quickly. Tomorrow morning, before dawn, you and I will get up immediately and rush to Yaquan Temple.

I heard that the Guanyin Bodhisattva in Yaquan Temple is very efficacious, and the incense stick on the head of the temple on the first day of the new year is particularly effective.

Xiao Li and I rushed to burn incense and pray to Bodhisattva to bless our marriage to be successful and smooth, and to bless us to have a baby soon."

"Go for it! It’s great that you have this wish! You two should go and have a good sleep."His mother said.

It's true: although the sweet liquor is delicious, the brewing is too mysterious.

Xiaoqian's command failed, and it was her mother who came to the rescue.
