Chapter 228: Rice Wine
At this time, one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver.
Qin Wanwan and Father Xie, big and small heads together, whispered and planned to exchange half for gold and half for silver.
A neat pile of gold and silver ingots, large and small, was quite spectacular.
The eyes of the father and daughter reflected the color of gold.
Qin Wanwan said in a milky voice: “Beautiful!”
Xie Chong nodded in agreement.
Putting some on the horse’s back, Xie Chong held a small box of gold ingots in one hand and his daughter in the other, and headed home.
After returning home, the big one and the small one were still restless. They found a safe and auspicious spot at home, dug a pit, and planned to hide it all.
Xie Chong dug the pit, and Qin Wanwan counted the plump gold ingots beside him.
“This one is ten taels, so heavy.”
“This one is five taels.”
“This one is one tael, so cute, hehe…”
“Father Xie gets one, I get one…”
Although Xie Chong was working, he heard what the little milk bun was whispering. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up, in a way that couldn’t be suppressed.
Which daughter is as good as his daughter? With money on her body, she always thinks of her father.
“Okay, let’s bury it.”
Qin Wanwan handed the divided gold and silver ingots to Daddy.
“We’ll take a little, Wanwan will spend it on Daddy.”
Xie Chong: “My money is enough for now, let’s hide it all and take it out when needed.”
Qin Wanwan obediently nodded: “Okay.”
The place they hid the gold was under the osmanthus trees; this row was all osmanthus trees.
They were all planted by her and Daddy together. Qin Wanwan bought the mature trees directly from the mall with merit points, and if they survived, they would bloom this year.
The reason for planting them was that the few bees she brought back needed to build a hive, and the osmanthus could provide them with nectar. These flowers are also very fragrant.
There are many foods that can be made from osmanthus, such as osmanthus cakes and osmanthus wine…
The reason they hid the gold and silver here was also because of those bees.
The bees raised by the little Qilin are super fierce, so ordinary people don’t dare to come here.
The wings of the few plump bumblebees she brought back miraculously healed. Not only did they grow larger, but they also brought back quite a few other bumblebees.
The bumblebee nests were originally built in underground caves, but after Wolf Fang made beehives for them, they also built nests inside the beehives.
Bumblebee nests are different from bee nests. Inside, there are piled-up round things like spheres, and the honey they eat is stored in small containers, and it’s not as viscous as bee honey.
But don’t underestimate them just because they’re fat; their combat power is not bad.
A beehive is on another osmanthus tree, separated by one tree.
Bees reproduce much faster than bumblebees. Now, one beehive is basically full, and they are planning to make another beehive to divide them, otherwise, it’s too crowded.
Besides these two types of bees, there is another very powerful one, the golden ringed hornet, which is also relatively large in the bee world.
This is not a bee specifically for producing honey, but it is fierce.
Under Qin Wanwan’s management, these three types of bees do not interfere with each other and live in a tripartite balance.
Bees are relatively gentle and mainly produce honey.
The other two types of bees are mainly for patrolling the house and can swarm attack at crucial moments.
Xie Chong commented that these patrolling bees are more useful than people and are very diligent.
They all seem to regard Qin Wanwan as the largest and highest-ranking queen bee.
Sometimes they even proactively offer her the best honey.
Before leaving, Qin Wanwan placed honey water in a clean small wooden nest under the tree.
It was a type of spirit honey exchanged from the mall.
The three types of bees at home really like it; whenever they smell the scent, the queen bee runs out to drink it.
It’s just that this thing is too expensive; a small jar of spirit honey the size of a palm costs a hundred thousand merit points!
“Daddy, drink bee water.”
Qin Wanwan held up a small bowl containing the same thing the bees drank.
Xie Chong also knew how expensive that small jar of honey was.
Wanwan’s merit points were basically all used to buy grain seeds for him this time.
Therefore, she was a bit reluctant to drink the honey herself.
It was too much of a hardship for her.
But if she drank it, the family members, including the animals, would all have a share.
Xie Chong only drank a little, and the rest was for Wanwan to drink.
Qin Wanwan drank the sweet honey water, shaking her head and swaying.
“Delicious, delicious.”
She had drunk even better honey water than this in the Heavenly Court when she was young. Her Daddy had stored a lot for her before he descended to the mortal world.
Before her Daddy descended, he prepared many, many things for her before she hatched.
Now that she has also descended, things she used to eat often now have to be consumed with extreme frugality, and Keke feels very wronged and that the cub has had a hard time.
But the little Qilin didn’t feel bitter at all.
Even in the mortal world, her Daddy still doted on her.
…………
Spring plowing will continue for quite some time.
During this time, the rice wine Qin Wanwan brewed earlier was ready.
Using spirit pasture grass as yeast, the peach blossom rice wine brewed was very successful.
As soon as the lid was opened, a clear, sweet aroma of wine wafted out.
Above the jar used for brewing rice wine, a few heads leaned together.
“Is it done?”
“It must be.”
Keke: “We’ll know if we taste it. This smell is quite fragrant.”
Qin Wanwan: “So beautiful!”
That’s right, this rice wine is very beautiful.
The rice inside has turned a beautiful pink, a delicate color like peach blossoms.
The rice wine inside can be seen to be light pink as well.
Gently pressing with a spoon, the lees floating on the surface were pushed down, and a large amount of light pink, clear rice wine appeared before everyone.
“The yield of wine is so much.”
The color of the rice wine is also very clear. Xie Chong, as the adult, was the first to taste it.
The taste is a little sweet and blends the aroma of peach blossoms and rice.
Women and children should like it; the alcohol content is very low, and to Xie Chong, it’s not much different from drinking water.
But it’s very delicious.
Qin Wanwan looked at her Daddy eagerly.
Xie Chong gave her a positive answer.
“It’s done, the taste is good.”
The little milk bun’s eyes instantly brightened, black and luminous, as if sprinkled with starlight, extremely beautiful.
“Daddy, let me have a taste.”
The little one stood on tiptoe, a little impatient. This was the rice wine she made herself.
While other children were playing, she could already brew wine by herself.
Proud~
The rice wine has a low alcohol content, so Xie Chong let her taste it, but she couldn’t drink too much.
After taking a sip, the little one was delighted: “It’s delicious, sweet.”
“Wolf Fang, Aunt Zhang Lu He, hurry and bring your bowls, let’s drink together.”
“Caw~”
Qin Xiaoe came closer, indicating it wanted some too.
Qin Wanwan: “The rice wine can be drunk by them too, right?”
Keke: “Yes, give me a bowl too!”
Qin Wanwan called out: “Hurry up and bring your food bowls.”
She truly regarded all these animals as family, and whatever delicious food she ate, she would share with them.
A group of animals scattered to fetch their food bowls.
Then they lined up obediently in order of arrival.
Wolf Fang used a spoon to give each of them a spoonful of rice wine.
