Chapter 246 The Wine Arrives
Seeing that the two were getting anxious, Liu Jingxue stopped teasing them and went to the expert area to play as they asked, leaving them to continue practicing there.
Seeing the older kids competing there, she also became interested and deliberately whizzed past the kids who were competing, causing the kids who were watching and cheering on her to scream.
The kids later included her in the competition, and she shamelessly won first place.
After playing for a while, although I was still not satisfied, this sled was borrowed after all. After playing for so long, it was time to return it.
When she returned the sled, Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun also returned their sleds.
The two of them had just started to improve in their training, and at least the range of their movements was not that large. They were in high spirits, so how could they hold back?
Thinking that she had become closer to the children and didn't need Liu Jingxue's help, Zhang Yingchun asked the child who lent her the ice sled, "Third child, who made this sled for you?"
"My eldest brother, my eldest brother is so awesome." Sanwazi said proudly.
Other children also spoke up, saying that their sleds were also made by their brothers or fathers.
Zhang Yingchun discussed with Sanwaizi, "Sanwaizi, go back and tell your eldest brother to ask him to make a bigger one for me.
Of course I won't let him work for nothing, how about I give him fifty cents?"
When Sanwazi heard this, he had no objection as long as he could earn fifty cents.
He immediately made the decision for his elder brother, "Okay, I'll tell him when I get home and ask him to make it for you today.
Sister Zhang can play tomorrow."
When Zhang Yingchun heard this, he immediately took out fifty cents and gave it to him, fearing that he would go back on his word.
When Sanwazi saw that he had already received the money before doing any work, he decided to do a great job.
He took the money and stuffed his sled into Zhang Yingchun's hand, "Sister Zhang, you continue to play, I will go home and ask my dad to make it for you.
My dad’s cooking skills are better than my brother’s.
I'll do it after my eldest brother gets home from school, it's a bit late now.
My dad is starting to make it now, and I will send it to you tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he turned around and ran home.
When Xia Lan and Liu Jingxue saw this, they followed suit and spent fifty cents to customize an ice sled that suited their body shapes.
The other two children did the same as the third child. They let them continue playing with their ice sleds while they took the money and went back to find jobs.
The three people at the back also tried a sled, but due to their weight, the children couldn't pull them.
Liu Jingxue let the two of them sit down and she pulled the cart by herself.
She deliberately increased the speed, and the excitement of speeding made the two of them scream in surprise.
They had played it a few times, with Liu Jingxue sitting and the other two pulling, but not very fast.
Liu Jingxue planned to wait until everyone was gone and have fun by herself, using her spiritual power to experience the feeling of flying before she could fly with the sword.
Zhang Yingchun asked someone to order a sled and made an appointment with Xia Lan that they would play together when the time came.
It wasn't until the snow started falling again that the three of them had to go back.
Along the way, Zhang Yingchun kept talking about the ice sled and snowmobile he had just played.
"Xiaoxue, if the snow stops tomorrow, let's go ice skating again."
Liu Jingxue hadn't had enough fun today, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, come and call me tomorrow."
"We have found some fun. We don't have to stay on the kang every day, staring at each other."
Liu Jingxue was walking back with Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun, chatting and laughing, when a villager came towards them.
He looked at Liu Jingxue in surprise and said, "Liu Zhiqing, you are not at home."
Liu Jingxue nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, I went to the river to skate just now."
"Then you should go back quickly. I just met Dazhu and Erzhu from Mr. Chen's family. They were carrying jars of wine and walking towards your house. They said they were delivering wine to you.", the villager reminded.
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly thanked him, "Thank you very much, uncle. I'll go back right away."
After she finished speaking, she said to Xia Lan and Zhang Yingchun, "I have something to do here, so I'll leave first.
If it stops snowing tomorrow, come find me and we'll go ice skating together."
"Okay, go back quickly and don't keep people waiting there," Xia Lan said.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Liu Jingxue started running home.
If they went there and knocked on the door for a long time only to find that no one was at home, and then took the wine back, then that would be a waste of the person's trip.
She hadn't expected such a coincidence that they would deliver the wine when she was not at home.
When Liu Jingxue ran to the vicinity of her home, she found two people stopped outside her yard and were about to knock on the door.
After looking at the ages of the two, Liu Jingxue hurriedly called out, "Uncle, I'm here, no need to knock, there's no one at home."
Chen Dazhu and Chen Erzhu heard the sound and turned around to see Liu Jingxue running towards them from a distance.
Seeing her running so fast, Chen Dazhu was worried that the road might slip and she might fall, so he quickly shouted, "Liu Zhiqing, don't worry, walk slowly and don't slip."
But he didn't know that Liu Jingxue, who had spiritual power, would not fall so easily.
Besides, she was not walking very fast at the moment. After seeing that the two men had just arrived at her door, she deliberately slowed down a bit to avoid them being too surprised when they saw her.
Liu Jingxue ran to the gate and apologized, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I just went to the river to skate and almost let you guys get rejected."
When she first went out, Liu Jingxue only locked the door of the house, but left the gate to the yard unlocked.
Otherwise, when the two brothers saw the gate was locked, they would not have thought of knocking on it, but would have turned around and gone home directly.
Chen Erzhu said, "How can we blame you for this? We can only blame ourselves for not coming to check if you were home before we came.
Besides, we just arrived and you came back, so we didn’t wait long.”
Liu Jingxue looked at the large wine jar on one end of the carrying pole on the ground and another one in the other hand, and asked curiously,
"Uncle, how much wine can I make from my 250 kilograms of sorghum?"
Chen Dazhu replied, "A total of 133 kilograms of wine."
He pointed to the two wine jars on the shoulder pole and said, "Each of these is 50 jin."
Then he pointed to the wine jar in Chen Erzhu's arms and said, "That's 33 jin."
Liu Jingxue calculated and gave a thumbs up, "Grandpa Chen's winemaking skills are really not exaggerated. The wine yield is 53%."
Hearing Liu Jingxue praising her father, Chen Dazhu and Chen Erzhu also laughed.
Chen Dazhu said, "This is a craft passed down from our ancestors. Among my father's four brothers, only my father is interested in this and has passed it down."
"My two uncles must learn well from my second grandfather and pass on this craft to future generations."
While talking to the two of them, Liu Jingxue opened the door and led them inside.
She went over to unlock the door and opened it.
"Liu Zhiqing, where are you going to put this wine jar?" Chen Dazhu asked.
Liu Jingxue pointed to the kitchen door and said, "Uncle, just help me put it against the kitchen wall."
After saying that, she opened the closet door and took out the cloth that had been prepared long ago.
On the appointed day, she came back and prepared the 15 feet of cloth, so that she wouldn't have to tear it after it was delivered, which would delay things.
After Chen Dazhu and Chen Erzhu delivered the wine jars to the kitchen, they came out carrying an empty shoulder pole.
Liu Jingxue hurried forward and handed the cloth to them, "Uncle, this is what I ordered with Second Grandma, please take it back on the way so I don't have to make another trip.
When I get home, I'll ask my second grandmother to measure it again to see if the size is wrong."
The two of them already knew the details of the transaction, so they did not refuse.
Chen Erzhu took the cloth Liu Jingxue handed over and said, "Thank you, Liu Zhiqing.
The snow is getting heavier, so we are leaving now.”
