talk about wine

The small mountain village seemed to be boiling at night, the sound of firecrackers one after another shook the quiet mountain forest, and every house was brightly lit.Compared to other families, Zhou Qingwu's small courtyard was much quieter. The two girls celebrated the New Year together, and there were all the necessary ceremonies, but it was not as festive and lively as a large family.

But they enjoyed it very much. The sound of firecrackers outside the house never stopped. Meng Chuxi also took out the bought firecrackers and hung them outside. She held some incense sticks in her hand and signaled Zhou Qingwu to come over.

"Qingwu, do you dare to let go?" Meng Chuxi looked at Zhou Qingwu who was shivering behind him, and asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Liu's nearby firecrackers exploded, covering Meng Chuxi's voice with crackling.

Zhou Qingwu heard it clearly, and gestured: Don't be afraid.

But that expression didn't look like she was not afraid. Meng Chuxi suddenly became interested. Amidst the noise of firecrackers, she raised her voice and said loudly, "Let's set it off together."

After finishing speaking, she handed the incense to Zhou Qingwu, and the two walked under the cannon. She held Zhou Qingwu's hand in her right hand and was about to reach over, but the little girl immediately turned her head and squinted her eyes, her appearance was obviously frightened.

Meng Chuxi laughed in a low voice, raised her head with her left hand and covered one of her ears, and smiled very cheerfully: "Don't be afraid!"

Because of this posture, Zhou Qingwu was completely embraced by Meng Chuxi at this moment. She was stunned for a while, and her eyes glanced back slightly. Meng Chuxi smiled extraordinarily brightly, and when she looked down at her, her amber eyes were full of dazzling light.It was snowing heavily at the beginning, and the sky was dark, but Meng Chuxi's eyes were full of bright sunshine. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, she forgot to be afraid, and couldn't bear to look away, staring blankly at Meng Chuxi.

Amidst the hissing sound, the string of firecrackers was ignited, and the sound of the explosion so close at hand made people cringe.When Meng Chuxi saw that the fire was on, he immediately shrank his head and led the little girl back, while covering Zhou Qingwu's other ear with his right hand.And she shrugged her shoulders, squinting her eyes to block the violent explosion.

Zhou Qingwu felt that the firecracker was burning in her heart, and it exploded more violently than the next, so an impulse made her ignore the instinctive shyness of her body, turned to face Meng Chuxi, and covered her ears with her hands.

Meng Chuxi, who was looking at the firecrackers, was taken aback for a moment, but the hands that were loosened by Zhou Qingwu's action paused and covered her again, but his eyes fell unconsciously on the little girl who stretched out her arms to cover her ears. on the girl.

The little girl has changed a lot. In the past six months, she has been getting better day by day. Although she is still thin, her whole body is refreshed and she looks fresh.Meng Chuxi looked at her blankly. Zhou Qingwu was actually pretty good. Although she was not as stunning as Meng Chuxi, her facial features were well proportioned. At first glance she was a bit cute, but because she was thin, it was easy for people to overlook her good foundation. Especially those big eyes are very aura.

Meng Chuxi was a little stunned for a while, and she didn't recover until the sound of firecrackers stopped in her ears.The eyes of the two met and suddenly felt a little scorching. Meng Chuxi turned his head away, Zhou Qingwu quickly let go of his hand and took a step back, his ears were as red as the red lantern.

Meng Chuxi was also a little annoyed, how could anyone stare at others like this, this is really a demon.She wanted to say something, but for a moment she felt her tongue tied up.

Although the blush on Zhou Qingwu's face hadn't dissipated, he seemed to have calmed down, and pointed to the sky: It's snowing again, let's go back, it's time for a reunion dinner.

Meng Chuxi was taken aback for a moment, the snowflakes that had stopped outside for a moment did fall again, so she sorted out her emotions and went back to the house.

Although the New Year's dinner for two is not as full as other people's tables, it is still very rich.The chicken bought at Aunt Liu's house has been boiled in clay pot for more than an hour. Now it is simmering on the charcoal stove. The chicken soup is already boiling and has a strong aroma.

It's a cold snowy day, drinking steaming chicken soup around the charcoal stove is delicious.

A total of six dishes were served on the table, which was too much for two people, but it was just for an auspicious number.In addition to chicken soup, there are also stir-fried fat intestines, white taro balls, steamed crucian carp, hibiscus tofu and fried bamboo shoots made by Meng Chuxi.These dishes, apart from tofu, were treasures that Zhou Qingwu seldom had once a year for Zhou Qingwu in the past.

Because Meng Chuxi seemed to like snow very much, Zhou Qingwu didn't close the door, put the charcoal on the stove from the kitchen, and the two of them sat beside the low table, with snowflakes flying outside but didn't feel cold.

The Tusu wine next to the stove had already warmed up. Zhou Qingwu poured two glasses of wine from a wine cup that had not been used for many years and placed them next to Meng Chuxi.

Meng Chuxi looked at some old wine cups, and glanced at her: "Can you drink?" She didn't say a word, she was still a child, how could she drink.

But Zhou Qingwu understood the meaning of her words, pursed his lips, and gestured again: I'm old enough.

Meng Chuxi laughed: "Okay, Qingwu is an adult, but he can't be greedy, only a little."

After all, she took a bowl and served her a bowl of chicken soup. The soup was boiled for a long time with red dates and shiitake mushrooms. The umami taste of the chicken was completely integrated into the soup. The sweetness is quite attractive.

"Don't be too busy drinking, just eat something to eat. The chicken soup is very good. It is delicious and slightly sweet. You are very good at cooking." Zhou Qingwu's soup making is indeed a masterpiece. The chicken is not fresh enough, and the butter of the native chicken is too fresh, and it is too greasy to drink, so she hasn't had chicken soup that makes her feel comfortable for a long time since she grew up.

But she took a sip just now, and the soup is fresh but not greasy, and the chicken is crispy and tasty, really delicious.

This wild shiitake mushroom tastes fresher. After being exposed to the sun, the aroma is completely released and soaked into the soup. The freshness of the chicken and the sweetness of the red dates of the shiitake mushrooms are just right.Although Meng Chuxi is not picky about food, his taste is rather picky, and he is even more sensitive to salty and sweet. Once the sweetness of red dates is too sweet, it is easy to overwhelm the guests, but Zhou Qingwu controls it just right, and the taste is more sweet and delicious.

Zhou Qingwu hasn't had chicken soup for a long time, she tasted it and it's okay, even though she hasn't cooked chicken soup for a long time, she hasn't forgotten what her mother taught her before.Seeing how satisfied Meng Chuxi was with drinking, she was happier than drinking chicken soup herself.

She has never eaten that taro ball before, and the method is also unprecedented.The steamed taro is peeled, mashed into a puree, added with soft mountain flour balls, and then kneaded into finger-sized balls. The method is not complicated, but it takes time to knead. After cooking, it looks crystal clear and round, very cute.

Meng Chuxi scooped up a few spoonfuls of balls and put them into the chicken soup. Seeing Zhou Qingwu look over, he scooped up the balls and stirred them, and said to Zhou Qingwu: "The taste of these taro balls is very good. It will be even more delicious when the chicken soup tastes good. Try it."

Zhou Qingwu nodded and didn't eat, just stared at the dumplings in the chicken soup, Meng Chuxi couldn't help but giggle, don't you want to be so cute.

After the chicken soup boiled, Meng Chuxi reached out and scooped the dumplings into his bowl: "Okay, don't look at it so cutely, try it."

Zhou Qingwu blushed, scooped a ball and stuffed it into his mouth. The mouth of the taro ball was very elastic.The glutinousness of the taro and the Q-bomb of the mountain noodles are perfectly blended, and the chicken soup is absorbed into the dumplings, which are full of umami. Zhou Qingwu has never eaten this kind of dumplings. Chewing carefully, there is a faint sweetness, which is very delicious.

Now Meng Chuxi doesn't need to ask her how it tastes, just look at the little girl's expression.Meng Chuxi laughed in a low voice and continued to put the dumplings into the chicken soup to cook. The sound of firecrackers outside the house gradually subsided, only the children's sporadic sound of firecrackers was especially clear in the silent snowy night.

Staring at the outside in a daze, Zhou Qingwu changed the cold wine. Seeing this, Meng Chuxi turned around and followed Zhou Qingwu to raise the glass.

Because Zhou Qingwu couldn't speak, she just signaled Meng Chuxi with her eyes, and the two clinked glasses and took a sip of Tusu wine.

It is a custom to drink Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year, for most people to drink it, the wine is not strong, of course, it is still baijiu no matter how strong it is.

Putting down the wine glass, Zhou Qingwu dipped his fingers in the wine and wrote strokes on the table.Meng Chuxi turned to look at it, and it said: May Chuxi see you, everything is inappropriate, and you will be blessed by heaven.

Meng Chuxi looked at the slowly fading handwriting, and it took a long time to look up at the little girl in front of her, the light in her eyes flickered slightly, she didn't know what happened, and suddenly felt her nose sour.

When the lowered eyes suppressed the emotions and looked up, a faint smile appeared in the eyes, raised the glass and took another sip, and said in a soft and gentle voice: "Thank you Qingwu, and bless us Qingwu, the divine armor protects us, Bierjian Gu. "

After that, she just looked at Zhou Qingwu like this, the little girl's cheeks were slightly red, she didn't know whether it was because of drinking or her usual shyness, but the joy in those eyes couldn't be hidden.

The snow was rushing outside the house, and the night was still shimmered by the heavy snow. The bamboo forest in the distance was crackling, and there was a crackling sound, which meant that the bamboo was overwhelmed and burst.

The two inside the house warmed the wine and ate meals by the stove, isolating the harsh winter outside the house, only the cups and cups echoed the soft words of one person, the warmth was far greater than the excitement.

On New Year's Eve, it is necessary to keep the year old.After clearing away the dishes, Zhou Qingwu looked at the person sitting blankly in front of the table with his head propped up, feeling distressed and funny at the same time. It was because she was not allowed to drink too much, and ended up getting greedy.

Zhou Qingwu squatted in front of her and touched her hand, but it was not cold.Her cheeks were flushed when she drank, and her eyes were a little blurred. When she saw Zhou Qingwu approaching, she laughed, pointed at her and said vaguely: "Qingwu, you, your head has grown bigger."

Zhou Qingwu laughed, and touched her cheek, it was very hot, she stretched out her hand and gestured: You drank too much, are you dizzy?Let's take a shower and rest first, shall I watch the year old?

Meng Chuxi, who had drunk too much, couldn't understand what she meant. She looked at her in a daze, shook her head and mumbled: "What are you talking about, I can't hear... I can't hear."

But after she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth again, and then patted her forehead again, with a slap, which really showed her strength.

Zhou Qingwu's face was startled, and he quickly grabbed her hand, shaking his head anxiously.

Meng Chuxi squeezed her hand in that room, hissed her mouth, and murmured: "I'm talking nonsense, it's not that I can't hear you, it's that I can't see clearly, I can't see what you mean, I drink too much, talk nonsense, don't, Do not be sad."

Zhou Qingwu didn't care about her words at first, but when he heard her drunken words at this moment, his eyes were caught off guard, and he quickly raised his head away from it and endured it.

Seeing that she was about to cry suddenly, Meng Chuxi swayed and leaned forward, holding her face and stubbornly pulling her in front of him: "It's not sad, it's not sad, I said the wrong thing, Qing Wu is good, it's not sad."

Zhou Qingwu blinked and squeezed out the unrestrained Jingying, raised a sweet smile, and stretched out his hand to gesture patiently: I'm not sad, I'm very happy.

This time the drunk understood and laughed.After a while, she stopped smiling, and suddenly moved closer to stare at Zhou Qingwu. She was too close, and the hot breath that she exhaled, with the smell of wine, fell on Zhou Qingwu's nose, and the little girl blushed even more than her in an instant.

But Meng Chuxi didn't realize that there was something wrong. Looking at the little girl's flushed face, she seemed to have discovered something novel, so she let out a sigh.

Zhou Qingwu's whole body was tense, but he didn't dare to move. The man's hand left her face, and slowly poked his fingers over, and touched her dimple, pressed and poked again, and laughed foolishly.Later, he simply continued to hold her face with both hands and rubbed it, shouting: "You are so cute, Qingwu, why are you so cute."

Zhou Qingwu's face was pinched and deformed by her, and he was both ashamed and sweet in his heart. He was just thinking wildly, when suddenly the lotus-like face in front of him suddenly approached, and a soft kiss landed on Zhou Qingwu's forehead.

The instigator didn't feel that something was wrong at all, and made a loud "mua" sound from his pouting mouth.

Zhou Qingwu: ...

She thought stupidly, the firecrackers on New Year's Eve this year not only exploded in her ears, but also exploded in her mind.The person who lit the firecrackers was Meng Chuxi.
