A Blessed Daughter

  Chapter 406 Talking about wine

  After finishing their work, several people sat down, wrapped in the cloak and blanket given by Wei Ruo, and hugged each other tightly.

  Just this morning, none of them expected such a situation for the pampered young masters.

  Who would have thought that after only half a day, they would curl up together in such a state of embarrassment, just like that, with the help of the eldest daughter of the Wei family, otherwise their situation would be even worse at this moment.

   "Gulu~" Lu Yuhong's stomach growled.

   The meal of mutton soup and naan at noon was indeed quite full, but after a busy afternoon, I almost digested it all.

  Lu Yuhong smiled awkwardly, at this moment he couldn't take the initiative to find Wei Ruo and ask her for food.

   Everyone is away from home, and they generally don’t bring too much food with them.

   The girl from the Wei family didn't bring too much. It's not easy to get them a full meal at noon, and there should be no more in the evening.

  So even if you are hungry again, Lu Yuhong and others will not be able to say this again.

   At this moment, Wei Ruo came out from the carriage, carrying three heavy cloth bags in his hand.

  Under the eyes of everyone, Wei Ruo came to them and opened the first cloth bag, which contained a bag of sweet potatoes.

  Wei Ruo put the unwashed and muddy sweet potatoes into the brazier.

   Immediately after was the second cloth bag. After opening, there were small taro inside.

  The taro that Wei Ruo grows on Zhuangzi mainly produces large pieces of taro, but there are still some small taro, which are smaller than sweet potatoes. Now Wei Ruo produces these smaller taro.

  Similarly, Wei Ruo threw these yams into another brazier.

  Finally, Wei Ruo opened the third cloth bag, which contained sliced ​​rice cakes.

  Wei Ruo did not throw these rice cakes directly into the fire, but tied them with shaved bamboo sticks and roasted them on the fire.

   After all these foods are baked, they should be enough for them to have a full meal.

  Seeing this, Lu Yuhong and the others couldn't help but look surprised.

  I thought I was going to starve at night, but they still underestimated the food reserves on the carriage of the eldest daughter of the Wei family!

   After roasting for a while, the smell of roasted sweet potatoes came out from the brazier. I wonder if everyone is hungry, but the smell is very attractive.

   Although the aroma of rice cakes and taro roasted is not so strong, it is also full of expectations.

   Seeing that the baking was almost done, Wei Ruo went back to the carriage to get things.

  Wei Ruo came out again holding a wine jar in his hand.

   "Miss Wei, this is...?" Yuan Wangyuan looked at the jar Wei Ruo carried with questioning eyes.

   "Thyme." Wei Ruo said and placed the wine jar in front of several people.

   "Miss Wei wants to buy us a drink?" Yuan Wangyuan asked again.

   Not only is it because thyme wine itself is precious and difficult to buy, but it is also very rare for them to have a place to warm up in the current situation they are in. How dare they expect to drink fine wine.

   "Drinking can warm you up from the cold." Wei Ruo explained.

  It is impossible for these people to sleep well tonight. The long night is really difficult. Drinking alcohol can not only warm up the body but also pass the time. It is a good way.

  Hearing the words, the faces of several people couldn't help showing joy.

  Lu Yuhong was the first to stand up and thank you: "You are so interesting, big girl!"

  Yuan Wangyuan said: "Miss Wei has a heart."

   Liu Yu couldn't help but said: "Miss Wei, you are too thoughtful."

  Wei Ruo smiled, and then directed several people to clean the bowls they had just used to drink the mutton soup.

  The cleaning method is also very simple, just take the snow outside and wipe the bowl several times.

  Although this method may not be able to clean up much, but in the current situation, everyone will not care so much.

   Then several people poured a bowl, Wei Ruo was no exception.

  Seeing Wei Ruo's heroic actions, several people were slightly stunned, but soon felt nothing.

  In ordinary days, etiquette should be observed, and men and women should avoid suspicion.

  But in this situation now, there is no chance of a bad life, and it seems a little too pedantic to care about the difference between men and women.

   "I would like to offer Miss Wei a cup first, and thank Miss Wei for her generous help today and for preparing such a rich food for us." Yuan Wangyuan was the first to stand up to express his gratitude, and then drank first as a respect.

  Wei Ruo was not restrained at all, raised his bowl and took a big sip in response.

   Seeing Wei Ruo like this, Lu Yuhong also stood up and respected Wei Ruo: "Miss, I can't say anything. Anyway, the meaning is very similar to that of Brother Wangyuan. Anyway, I also offer you a toast."

   Said that Lu Yuhong drank first as a respect.

  Wei Ruo responded heartily, then raised his head and took a big gulp.

   Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu and Gao Wentian also respected Wei Ruo, expressing their gratitude to Wei Ruo for what he did today.

  Seeing Wei Ruo graciously drinking with the man, Wei Yichen looked calm and didn't make a sound to stop him.

  He held the wine bowl silently, and took a sip restrainedly.

  Wei Ruo's free and easy appearance was reflected in Xu Fengyuan's eyes. After a while, he suddenly got up as if he had figured out something.

   "Big girl, I also offer you a toast."

  Xu Fengyuan lost the initial awkwardness on his face, and stared at Wei Ruo with a relieved smile on his face.

  When Xu Fengyuan spoke, everyone looked at him in surprise.

  He has been silent today, and everyone guessed that he has not completely let go of Wei Ruo.

  Wei Ruo was also a little surprised and met Xu Fengyuan's eyes.

  Seeing his friendly and hearty smile, and open and clear eyes, Wei Ruo immediately let go of Xin, and responded without any scruples, holding up a bowl.

  The two of them raised their heads and drank the wine together, and then Xu Fengyuan said: "Miss, I was abrupt before, I hope you don't take it to heart."

   "Master Xu is the one, don't take it to heart." Wei Ruo replied.

  Neither of them clarified, but everyone who was present knew the meaning of what they said.

  Xu Fengyuan shook his head and smiled lowly: "Some things are my wishful thinking, and have nothing to do with the eldest girl."

   So far, among the few people present, except Wei Yichen who did not respect Wei Ruo, the others all respected him.

   Then the few people continued to drink to their heart's content, eating roasted sweet potatoes, roasted taro and roasted rice cakes to their heart's content.

  The clear white wine exudes a strong aroma, and it tastes even more delicious than usual.

  And those rough-looking roasted sweet potatoes, roasted taro and roasted rice cakes are like delicacies from mountains and seas, which are endless aftertaste.

  Everyone was talking and laughing, although it was freezing cold, they had a different taste.

  Time passed without knowing it.

  The sky is getting darker, the wind and snow have not abated, and the temperature is getting colder.

   At this moment, several figures in the white snow field in the distance attracted the attention of Wei Ruo and others.

   At the same time, those few people also noticed the shed where Wei Ruo and the others were in.

  These people showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces, and then accelerated their pace towards this side.
