Chapter 237: Alcohol
A little milk bun, not accustomed to alcohol, underestimated the potency of the wine she brewed.
Just one small sip and she was already drowsy.
“Wolf Fang, Wolf Fang, don’t sway.”
Qin Wanwan, feeling dizzy, reached out to pat Wolf Fang’s head.
Wolf Fang: I’m not swaying.
Lu He watched Qin Wanwan, her little face flushed red, with concern.
“Could she be drunk?”
It was just one small sip.
But she was indeed drunk, even starting to giggle foolishly.
But even a giggling little Qilin was cute.
“Where’s Daddy? Where is my big, big Daddy?”
The drunken little Qilin was still thinking about her Daddy.
Keke: “Cub, you’re drunk.”
Qin Wanwan tilted her head, her expression confused: “Drunk? What is drunk?”
Keke: “Look at you right now. Tell me, how many are these?”
Keke held up one wing.
Qin Wanwan stared for a moment, then answered in a soft, mellow, crisp, and clear little voice.
“A bird!”
Keke: …Well, it’s not wrong.
“No, now it’s two… three!”
Qin Wanwan mumbled again, still with a confused look on her face: “What’s going on, Keke? When did you learn to use the clone technique behind my back?”
Keke: ……………..
Confirmed, she was definitely drunk.
A drunk little milk bun was very amusing. She did whatever she was told, didn’t fuss or cry, and was very well-behaved.
And very easy to entertain.
For example, she particularly liked fluffy big tails.
When Xie Chong returned, he saw his daughter sitting obediently on the rush mat, with Big Goldy standing in front of her, wagging his big tail with a fluff ball back and forth in front of the little one.
Qin Wanwan stretched out her little arms, reaching to grab left and right.
The three wolves lined up beside them. After a while, Wolf Xiaofeng pushed Big Goldy aside and offered its own big tail.
Then the little one started a new round of tail-grabbing.
The beautiful little milk bun was like a snow-white kitten attracted by a feather wand.
Qin Wanwan stood up and stumbled to grab the fluffy big tail, but bumped into a pair of long legs.
Qin Wanwan looked up, bewildered.
“Who are you?”
Xie Chong frowned and squatted down to look at the little one.
Qin Wanwan had fair skin, soft like a sticky rice ball, but her little face was flushed red from being drunk, her fair skin showing a pretty light pink.
If Xie Chong had to describe it, it was like sweet rice balls stewed in peach blossom rice wine.
Soft and chewy, and good-looking.
Qin Wanwan blinked her big, watery eyes, her long, curled eyelashes framing them. They were bright and clear.
Her dark pupils reflected Xie Chong’s handsome face.
She cupped Xie Chong’s chin with her little chubby hands, looking left and right.
So good, so cute.
The word ‘cute’ was often used by Keke to describe Qin Wanwan, and he felt it was quite fitting for his daughter.
“It’s Daddy~”
Finally recognizing her Daddy, the little one called out “Daddy” in her milky voice and gave him several smacking kisses on his face.
Xie Chong’s ears turned a little red, but his heart melted even more.
“How did you get drunk?”
Qin Wanwan pouted stubbornly: “I’m not drunk, Wanwan isn’t drunk.”
Xie Chong held her and looked at the animals in the house with some helplessness.
“They’re teasing her like she’s a cat.”
Wolf Xiaofeng and the others pretended not to understand.
“Is the wine ready?”
He could already smell a pleasant wine aroma.
By the time they reached the entrance to the winemaking basement, the aroma was even richer.
He couldn’t help but swallow, this smell… it was quite fragrant.
Men generally liked to drink, especially people from their region.
The winters at the border pass were harsh, and a bit of alcohol could warm the body and ward off the cold.
In such an environment, most people at the border pass favored strong liquor.
However, among all the wines he had tasted, none seemed as potent as this.
Originally, he hadn’t paid much attention to the wine the little one brewed, because although he also drank, he wasn’t a heavy drinker.
He only took a few sips during his leisure time in winter.
But this wine smelled really good.
After coaxing the milk bun in his arms to sleep, he went to the wine cellar to taste it, and indeed, it was potent.
He had quite a few subordinates who enjoyed wine, and they would definitely like this.
After getting drunk, Qin Wanwan slept very soundly.
However, because she slept early, she also woke up early the next day.
Holding a crispy fried dough stick, Qin Wanwan, in her slippers, went out and saw Father Xie practicing his spear.
She brought a small stool and sat on the side to watch.
Taking a bite of fried dough stick and a sip of milk, Lu He skillfully tied her hair into a beautiful and cute hairstyle behind her.
By the time Xie Chong finished practicing his spear, Qin Wanwan had finished her fried dough stick, her tummy bulging like a little seal.
“Daddy, you’re so amazing, so handsome.”
Watching Xie Chong practice his spear was a very pleasing sight.
Xie Chong calmed his breathing slightly, and soon, apart from a light sheen of sweat on his body, he didn’t look like someone who had just engaged in strenuous exercise.
“Daddy, here you go.”
She held out a peeled tea egg and offered it to him.
Xie Chong ate it in two bites.
“I’m going to the military camp. You be good at home.”
Qin Wanwan hummed in agreement and followed him closely to the door, watching him mount his horse.
“Bye-bye, Daddy. Come home early.”
Xie Chong nodded and rode away.
With a soft little milk bun waiting for him at home, he now looked forward to coming home every day.
After seeing her Daddy off, Qin Wanwan walked back, swaying her head adorably.
She still remembered the purpose of brewing the wine.
The distillation apparatus was already made, and she began to distill the wine.
After all the commotion, the entire General’s Mansion seemed to be permeated with the scent of wine.
Many passersby were attracted by the wine aroma.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush, and this was because the wine had a very strong aroma that could travel a long distance.
“Is this the General’s Mansion? Such a strong smell of wine. I’ve never smelled wine like this before. Just smelling it tells me it’s good wine.”
“I wonder where General Xie got this wine from.”
Those with keen noses for good wine lingered outside the General’s Mansion but dared not enter.
And now, after three hours of distillation, a small jar of alcohol was finally produced.
The wine itself was already quite strong, and the amount of alcohol distilled was surprisingly not small.
Ten catties of wine could yield about four to five catties of alcohol.
Lu He asked in confusion: “I feel like this wine doesn’t smell as good as before, and there’s less of it. Why are you making this?”
Qin Wanwan: “Because this can save lives.”
She said in her milky voice: “Alcohol can kill viruses and sterilize. If you use this to disinfect wounds, you won’t get infected or have a fever.”
Hearing this, Wolf Fang’s eyes widened.
Lu He and Aunt Zhang were also excited: “This… is this really true?”
Even as women in the inner chambers, they knew that the most fatal thing after an injury was a fever caused by the wound; if they couldn’t survive it, they would die.
Especially for soldiers, many were injured on the battlefield. Sometimes, even if the bleeding stopped, many would ultimately die from fever.
If this substance could truly prevent injured people from getting a fever, it would definitely save many lives!
“How did Miss know?”
Qin Wanwan gave Lu He a ‘you’re so stupid’ look.
“Of course, Keke told me.”
Keke was now not only Qin Wanwan’s companion and a caring little nanny, but also her little teacher.
Keke: My small body has endured too much.
