Chapter 90: Horse Thief
Not long after, the elder brother came back, carrying a few packs of cooked food wrapped in oil paper in his left hand and a bottle of wine in his right hand.
"Young Master has been waiting for a long time."
"No."
He put the stuff on the table and began to unpack it.
"What kind of wine is this, brother?"
"This is daughter red."
Daughter Hong, also known as Huadiao Wine, is a traditional famous wine in Shaoxing.
What kind of wine is Daughter Red? In Shaoxing area, there is a custom that a daughter must be brewed with a daughter.
According to legend, the origin of the name of daughter Hong was because of a tailor who got a girl. Her husband was unhappy and bought the wine that he wanted to entertain guests under the osmanthus tree.
A girl in the family first grew up. Her daughter was smart and capable, and she was very popular with the tailor. When her daughter was married, the tailor dug out the wine and opened the wine jar. The aroma spreads and the taste is mellow. Therefore, when it comes to what kind of wine is this daughter Hong, it is said that it is a must-have item for having a daughter and marrying a daughter.
Jiang Chen has heard of the wine "Daughter Red", but he hasn't drunk it in two lifetimes. Today I will try out how this "Daughter Red" tastes.
My sister-in-law brought two bowls, and the elder brother removed the seal of the wine jar and poured out the wine carefully, for fear of wasting a drop.
Looking at the cooked food on the table, there were roast chicken, fried peanuts, beef sauce, and braised pork.
The eldest brother handed the remaining money to Jiang Chen, and he naturally took it away.
"Sister-in-law, come together."
"I don't want it anymore. You can drink it. I won't drink it."
"I can't drink, I can eat."
My sister-in-law couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she looked at the cooked food on the table, but she just didn't serve it.
In ancient times, when guests came to drink at home, women generally did not serve the table, and there were many such things in modern times.
Jiang Chen tore off a chicken leg and walked over to her.
"Eat it's okay."
Jiang Chen looked at his elder brother.
"Since it's the kindness of the young master, just eat it."
She finally took the chicken leg and was about to put it in her mouth to take a bite. When the chicken leg reached her mouth, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong."
"I want to leave the chicken legs for the child."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he was moved. He couldn't help but remember what delicious food his mother used to cook, and always gave him the best ones to eat.
Jiang Chen returned to the table and repacked the remaining roast chicken.
"Young Master, this is it."
"This roast chicken is left for the children and sister-in-law, and this sauce beef and braised pork are left for them. We just need a pack of peanuts."
"Young master, this is not OK. This is a food dish, how can I give them all?"
"Brother, it's okay. I often eat big fish and meat outside. A plate of peanuts is enough. The most important thing is to have a big brother accompany me to drink. This is the atmosphere."
The couple was very moved, but they didn't expect that they were just unintentional acts of kindness, but they got so much.
After handing the packaged cooked food to my sister-in-law, the two started drinking.
This daughter's red wine tastes a full body with sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, fresh and astringent flavors. In addition, it has a nutritional value higher than other wines, thus forming a comprehensive style that is both clear, fragrant, mellow, soft, soft and refreshing.
The two of them were eating peanuts and drinking big gulp while chatting and laughing. A jar of wine was quickly fucked by the two of them.
I had a great time drinking tonight.
Jiang Chen was also a little drunk.
"Young Master, this is your room, the bed has been cleaned up for you."
"Thank you sister-in-law."
Jiang Chen was also a little sleepy, so after good night with them, he went back to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Jiang Chen remembered his parents in his head.
He fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up the next day, Jiang Chen walked out of the room and heard the voices of his sister-in-law and the child coming from the child's room.
"My mother's chicken legs are so delicious."
"This is what my elder brother who lives in our house gives you food. When you see him later, you have to say thank you."
"I know, mom."
Jiang Chen walked into the child's room.
"Young Master, you're awake."
The child also saw the older brother in his mother's mouth.
"Thank you for the delicious food of my brother."
"You're welcome."
This child's energy has improved a lot.
"Young master, I'll get you something to eat."
"Um."
Jiang Chen talked with the child in the room.
After a while, my sister-in-law had already brought the breakfast to the table.
Jiang Chen walked out and saw a bowl of porridge and the beef sauce from last night. They were reluctant to eat it and left it to him.
Jiang Chen picked up the porridge and drank it all in a few big mouthfuls, but the beef sauce didn't move.
After eating, I saw my elder brother coming in with a hoe from outside.
"Young Master is awake."
"Brother, I'm leaving. I'll see you if I have the chance."
"Young Master won't stay for a few more days."
"No, there is still something to do, and we can't delay it."
"Young Master always comes when you have time. You are the great benefactor of our family."
“Yes.”
Jiang Chen went back to the room and picked up the package and long sword, walked out of the room, and went to see the child.
While they were not paying attention, Jiang Chen took out twenty taels of silver and put it in the child's hand.
"When the uncle leaves, I will leave it to your father."
"Um."
The eldest brother and sister-in-law were sent outside. Jiang Chen turned the horse on his back, turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and the horse ran quickly.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law went back to the room to see the child. When they saw the child take out so much money, they were moved by the couple and met a noble person when they heard the child's words.
These twenty taels are a few years of expenses for their family.
Seeing the horse running in front, Jiang Chen closed his eyes and practiced.
An hour later, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment.
After reading it, Jiang Chen didn't know where this was. It seemed that he wanted to ask someone.
Jiang Chen continued along the road ahead.
After about half an hour, I saw thick smoke rolling up in front of me.
What was burning in front of him? He clamped his legs and ran quickly towards that place.
Three miles away, Jiang Chen saw something, and a group of horse thieves riding on horses were burning, killing and looting in the village.
Jiang Chen saw the villagers fleeing everywhere, the children sitting on the ground crying, the people who died on the ground, some girls were caught by horse thieves and struggled all the time.
But the dozens of horse thieves laughed wildly, as if this hell on earth was so enjoyable in front of them.
Jiang Chen was furious when he saw these horse thieves, and these horse thieves had already made Jiang Chen feel like he was killing.
Jiang Chen drew his long sword.
"Driving~"
"Zhu Ri" felt the anger of his master, and it rushed over as fast as possible.
A horse thief was laughing wildly while holding a chicken in his hand. Suddenly, he saw a man riding a horse, holding a long sword in his hand, running towards him quickly. He looked frightened and was about to pick up his weapon to resist, but the horse ran past him, and his throat had been cut open!
"Squeak~"
A leaky sound came from the neck.
He covered his neck with horror, but no matter how he covered it, the blood still oozed out of the wound. He felt it was difficult to breathe. Soon he was unconscious, his body fell to the ground, and died.
His expression remained terrified, and his eyes were not closed, so he could not die with his eyes closed.
Other horse thieves also saw Jiang Chen and looked at the people who suddenly appeared full of murderous aura. They were a little scared in their hearts. They were obviously alone, but they felt like they were trapped in a car.
