Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 202 Do you want to buy some wine?

However, this year, in order to find out the information about the books to be engraved in the Imperial Examination Hall, Old Madam Pei gave away a lot of rice wine. If she has time in the new year, it is estimated that Old Madam Pei will also expand the winery and start selling wine in Shangjing City.

Seeing that Bai Yunhe was a little hesitant, Hua Lei said again, "We have wine on our farm. Mr. Bai and Butler Bai, do you want to try the taste and decide whether to buy it?" As she said that, she asked Brother Xiao Kong, who had already delivered the food demand form, to go to the warehouse and get an unopened jar of wine.

This was on the second day of the Lunar New Year. When Wu Sansi and Kong Xiaoya got married, Hua Lei specially brought it from Old Madam Pei's winery. Thinking that she might have to visit the Imperial College to celebrate the New Year, she took a lot more.

At this time, Brother Kong also brought clean bowls from the kitchen, opened the wine jar, poured two bowls, and handed them to Bai Yunhe and Butler Bai respectively.

Bai Yunhe looked at the flower buds, took the wine bowl, and the slightly transparent wine had small ripples. He put it to his lips and took a small sip. It tasted spicy, with a long aftertaste and a strong wine flavor. Soldiers returning from the battlefield would definitely like it.

He looked at Butler Bai and saw him nod slightly.

"Miss Hua, how much is this wine?" Bai Yunhe asked.

"A jar contains five jin, which means four liang is enough for one jar." Hua Lei replied. This was the price set by Old Madam Pei.

"Okay, then let's get eighty jars." Bai Yunhe thought. Although wine was prepared before the New Year, because the banquet was not held, some of the originally prepared wine was used up during the New Year. It should be enough to make up for it with eighty jars.

"Okay, then Mr. Bai, do you want me to deliver the goods today or tomorrow?" Hua Lei asked cheerfully.

"Let's go in the afternoon, Butler Bai, what do you think?" Bai Yunhe asked Butler Bai beside him. Butler Bai nodded.

Hua Lei said, "Okay, I'll send someone over this afternoon." Hua Lei sent Xiao Kong out to arrange for the wine to be delivered. Butler Bai also followed Xiao Kong out responsibly.

Bai Yunhe looked at Hualei's sophisticated look and couldn't help but admire her. A girl who was only fourteen years old spent only half a year to plan and organize the half-dead puddle into her own treasure pot. She was really capable. Her ability to turn stone into gold made many adults feel inferior. The puddle farm next to her house had been idle for several years, neither dead nor alive.

She had become an adult, and she was very straightforward in doing business, without any hesitation or embarrassment. I had originally given her a thousand taels of silver, thinking that I could get some back, but now that I had purchased more wine, I guess I wouldn't get much back, and I might even have to pay some more.

After finishing the business, Bai Yunhe didn't seem to be leaving, but slowly picked up the cold teacup. Hualei couldn't bear it, and Xiao Kongge went out again, so she had to go forward and change the hot tea for Bai Yunhe herself.

Bai Yunhai took it with a smile, blew away the tea leaves carefully, took a sip, put down the cup, and squinted his eyes. The sunlight came in from where he was sitting. He leaned back in a relaxed manner, basking in the winter sunshine, as if he was sitting in his own study, feeling relaxed and at ease.

Hua Lei looked at him, wondering if he had anything else to say, but seeing that he had his eyes slightly closed and was leaning back in his chair, looking relaxed, it didn't look like he had anything to do, so she asked, "Mr. Bai, is there anything else you need?" If there is nothing you need, you can leave, Hua Lei smiled.

Bai Yunhe turned his head to look at Hua Lei and said softly, "Miss Hua's farm is really relaxing. There are flocks of chickens and ducks, and the vegetables are green and the fruits are plump. It feels like a happy harvest on a farm. I need to feel this happy feeling."

Hualei looked out the window and saw vines of vegetables on a rack in the distance. But because it was winter, the vegetables and fruits on the rack were not green and plump. From time to time, the sounds of chickens and ducks flapping their wings and clucking could be heard outside the door, which did not make people feel relaxed. So he smiled and said, "Mr. Bai, don't you think this farm is very noisy and chaotic?"

"No, I think it's very good." Bai Yunhe smiled like a fox. But in his heart, a sentence popped up: Of course, it's because you are sitting here, even if it's a little noisy, it's also a kind of joy.

Thinking that there was no need for him to come here in person, and that Butler Bai could handle it alone, he had to take it on, and came here, wasn't it just to see her? Now that he had seen her, he didn't want to leave, and it was not his fault, because she had managed the farm so well.

In such a cold winter, basking in the warm sun, breathing the fresh air of the countryside, with a very beautiful girl by your side, it feels so good.

If Hualei could hear his inner voice, she would definitely say, "Don't you smell the feces and urine of chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs?"

"By the way, Miss Hua, how is Xiaoyuan's pills? Are they effective?" Bai Yunhe asked, thinking of the pills.

"Yes, it's very effective. I found that Xiaoyuan's sleep has improved a lot recently. I asked Qingcheng and Qingyue who were beside him, and they both said that he slept very well and his appetite also increased a lot. Thank you, Mr. Bai." Hualei was also sincerely grateful.

This pill is indeed a prescription from the Imperial Hospital. Xiaoyuan had not been sleeping well since before he took the entrance exam for the Imperial College. He thought that after he was admitted, his sleep would naturally improve. Unexpectedly, after Xiaoyuan went to live in the Imperial College, he did not sleep well for a long time, not knowing whether it was because he was used to his bed or other reasons. Xiaoyuan himself did not say anything, and his appetite was also poor.

Since taking the pill, Hua Lei has taken care of Qing Cheng and Qing Yue, asking them to pay more attention to Xiao Yuan's condition. They reported back that his appetite has improved a lot. Recently, he has been living in Qingyun Lane, so Hua Lei would go to see Xiao Yuan from time to time at night to tuck in the corners of his quilt. She found that Xiao Yuan slept very soundly. Recently, his appetite has improved a lot, and his complexion has also improved a lot.

"That's good. This pill is still suitable for Xiaoyuan. You should take it continuously in the future. Did Uncle Fu give you the pill before the New Year?" Bai Yunhe asked.

"Yes, speaking of this, I haven't thanked you yet, Mr. Bai. I've really made you spend money again. I owe you more and more favors." Hua Lei felt a little embarrassed and almost forgot about it. "Miss Hua asked Uncle Fu to give me a thank-you gift, but she didn't want to do it herself. Isn't it because she was afraid that I would ask Miss Hua for a thank-you gift?" Bai Yunhe looked at Hua Lei with a ruffian look on his face. "You see, I don't dare to ask you for a thank-you gift now."

"Um, no..." Hualei blushed a little, "It's true that I'm busy at the end of the year and don't have time to send it."

"Oh, it's a good New Year now. Miss Hua is not busy anymore, right?
