Chapter 26
"Zhang Hu, do you think the alcohol level is low? I have Feitian Moutai in my car, which is very powerful. It's a waste if you drink these." Tian Qingyong has finished the wine in the glass and is taking the wine jar from Zhang Lan's hand. Pour wine into the glass.

"I don't think the alcohol content is low. I think my wife can also try it, and my two sisters-in-law can also try it. This wine is sweet and sour." Zhang Hu explained quickly.

Chen Rongrong on the side glanced at Tian Qingyong after hearing this. Tian Qingyong laughed quickly: "Don't worry, we have them all. Here are Zhang Lan's small bowls. It's not easy to fill the wine glass from this jar."

"I'll get it. I'll get it." Zhang Hu quickly got up and went to the kitchen to get a few bowls.

Looking at the golden and slightly transparent wine in the bowl, Chen Rongrong picked up the bowl and smelled it, and a strange scent of osmanthus and wine came to his face.Fang Xia, who was on the side, directly picked up the bowl and took a sip: "It's really sour and sweet. It tastes good."

Huang Shasha next to her also smiled after taking a sip. She also liked the wine very much.

Drinking the fine wine brewed by Zhang Lan and eating the delicious dishes carefully prepared by Zhang Lan, the people at the table quickly got together, and the three children also played together.Several people ate up the food and wine on the table, and drank all the twenty kilograms of sweet-scented osmanthus wine that Zhang Lan carried out.After eating and drinking, Zhang Lan and the others lay on the sofa chatting. Huang Shasha, Chen Rongrong, and Fang Xia cleared away the messy cups and plates on the table, and took the three children to Fang Xia's house to rest.

Although the osmanthus wine brewed by Zhang Lan only has more than ten degrees of content, the jar of osmanthus wine is nearly 20 kilograms. The four of Zhang Lan drank almost [-] or [-] kilograms, and the three of Huang Shasha, Chen Rongrong, and Fang Xia drank four to five kilograms.Although the alcohol level was not high, he drank a lot. After chatting on the sofa for a while, several people started fighting before their eyes.Zhang Lan lay down on the sofa in the east room, Xie Ruidong Taipang lay down on the bed in the back room, and Tian Qingyong and Zhang Hu fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.

Zhang Lan got up after lying down for a while. His physique was much better than the others.I went in and took a look, and saw that several people were fast asleep.Zhang Lan tidied up the kitchen and house, took out the remaining large pot of vegetables from the pot and put it in the refrigerator to heat up and eat with rice in the evening.After everything was packed up, Zhang Lan sat on the sofa in the east room, took out his mobile phone and started reading the downloaded Buddhist scriptures.

At around three o'clock and almost four o'clock, Huang Shasha and Chen Rongrong came over with their children.After waking up the sleeping people, Zhang Lan took out the tea cup, brewed a few cups of tea and put them on the coffee table.

Xie Ruidong washed his face and walked out of the bathroom, stretched out: "This wine is really comfortable to drink. Does Zhang Lan still have some? I'll take some with me when I leave later."

"I'll bring some too. I put a few boxes of good wine in the trunk, and I'll leave them all for you. Give me two more jars of this sweet-scented osmanthus wine." Tian Qingyong responded quickly.

"Brother, you don't care about others at all, do you?" Xie Ruidong and Tian Qingyong had already started calling each other brothers after having a drink at noon.

"I'm so close, I'll hit the target as soon as I hit it. I'll come back if it's gone." Zhang Hu also hurriedly followed.

Looking at the unceremonious faces of the three people, Zhang Lan burst into laughter.

"Why are you laughing? Hurry up. Where is the wine? I'll go take a look. Wife, go and move the cigarettes and wine from the trunk to make room. I'll see how much Zhang Lan brewed first. I'll take a look at the trunk today. You have to pretend more or less." Tian Qingyong took out the car keys and handed them to Chen Rongrong, and they looked at each other and laughed.Zhang Lan said with a smile: "There aren't many osmanthus wine brewed, mainly because the raw materials are hard to find. I brewed ten jars in total, so let's do this. Boss Xie and Brother Yong will give you two jars each, and Brother Hu will give you one jar. The rest is If there are guests at your home, I can easily entertain them."

"First take me to the place where you keep the wine. I just looked at the room where you kept the wine. There is not a single jar of wine in it. Where did you put the rest?"

"It's in the old house. There's no place to store it at home. I'll get the key and get it later."

Zhang Hu was startled: "That old house is about to collapse, why are you putting wine there?"

"It can't collapse. Even though the old house is decades old, except for some leaks in the beams, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhang Lanzhi saw it when he went there to have a drink, and his parents had to clean it up during the holidays.Before buying a house in the city, Zhang Lan's mother often said that if she and her daughter-in-law couldn't get along, the current house would be left to Zhang Lan and his wife, and she and Zhang Lan's father would go back to live in the old house.So Zhang Lan's mother would visit the old house every once in a while, and when Zhang Lan's father Zhang Dahai was at home, she would take him to repair the roof.

"Then let's go now, what are you waiting for? Oh, by the way, I'll unload the cigarettes and alcohol from the trunk first." Tian Qingyong took his wife Chen Rongrong and got up and moved out the door to move things.

Zhang Lan's old house was not far from where we are now. I drove through the village for 5 minutes and stopped next to a few persimmon trees.The old house of Zhang Lan's family is behind a few persimmon trees. Behind the old house is an 8-meter-high earth cliff, and on the left and right are abandoned old houses.

Zhang Lan opened the courtyard door and led everyone to the back of the house. Zhang Hu looked at the wooden door on the cliff and couldn't help but said: "Zhang Lan, when did you open the whole cave house again? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

"Didn't I tell you a while ago that I wanted to contract the dam in Xigou, but then I gave up the idea and thought that I would have nothing to do at home every day. I followed my mother to clean up the old house that day, and when I saw this cave dwelling, I suddenly wanted to use it. . There are too many fruits harvested at home every day, and it’s hard to deal with them, so I thought of turning some of them into wine. But there is too much and there is no place to put it, so this is just the place." Zhang Lan simply explained that he could not talk about the gourd space in the Dantian. Especially suitable for wine making.As a result, I accidentally brewed too much and had no place to store it. In order to hide it from others, I had to store it in the old house.

Zhang Lan took the key and opened the wooden door, led everyone around a corner, touched a niche on the wall, Zhang Lan pressed it, and the whole cave suddenly became bright.What caught everyone's eyes was two caves nearly two meters wide and more than 4 meters deep, with rows of two-story wooden frames placed on both sides.The shelves in the cave on the left are filled with jars about 2 centimeters high, while the shelves in the cave on the right are still empty.

The place where everyone is standing is about 30 square meters and more than 2 meters high. There are several large jars over half a meter high placed beside the wall.Xie Ruidong looked up and down and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhang Lan, you are really capable. Did you put a lot of effort into building this cave dwelling?"

"It's okay, it didn't take much effort. It turns out that the hole itself is not small. The cliffs of the two houses next to it are much bigger than this one. It's just that the wooden frame took a little effort." Zhang Lan rubbed the dirt on his hands and said. .
