Chapter 178: It’s not this

A bottle of Five Grain Liquor was one pound, and only half of the bag was filled into the water bag. After pouring two bottles, it was almost full.

Gu Fei carried it to the backyard.

Handing the water bag to Zhang Ze, Gu Fei said embarrassed: “I really can’t find a decent bottle at home. It’s rude of me.”

Zhang Ze waved his hand: “Miss, you are too polite. I am rude to run so far to ask you for wine.”

“By the way, where is the winemaker now?”

Gu Fei shook her head quickly: “This wine was given by someone my father met by chance in his early years. Later, I heard that the man had passed away. He didn’t have any descendants, and the winemaking skills could not be passed down.”

“What a pity.” Zhang Ze shook his head: “By the way, does this wine have a name? I’ll tell my young master’s uncle later when I see him.”

“Five Grain Liquor. This wine is called Five Grain Liquor, and it is said to be brewed with five kinds of grains.”

Zhang Ze asked again: “Miss, do you know which five kinds they are?”

He scratched his head embarrassed: “My young master’s uncle loves wine like his life, I’m afraid he will ask me later.”

“Wheat, sorghum, corn, glutinous rice, rice, as for the ratio, I don’t know.” Gu Fei remembered that she heard someone say it once when she was drinking in her previous life.

“Thank you, young lady.” Zhang Ze took out a silver note of 100 taels: “This is the money for buying wine.”

Gu Zhang quickly pushed it back: “Why are you giving money? How can a little wine be worth that much?”

“Your young master’s uncle loves to drink, and this wine can be regarded as a meeting gift. Take the silver back quickly.”

Zhang Ze and Gu Zhang pushed each other for several rounds. Seeing that Gu Zhang was determined, he had to take back the silver note: “Second Master Gu, my young master’s uncle is still waiting for my reply, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Gu Zhang sent Zhang Ze out, turned around, and quietly asked Gu Fei: “Is the wine really that good? Is there any more? Let me try some.”

Gu Fei smiled, “Yes, but not much. This wine is excellent. I’ll pour Dad a glass when we have dinner later.”

Gu Zhang licked his lips: “Just one glass?”

“Of course not. This wine is very expensive. You have to drink it sparingly. It will be gone after you finish it.”

In modern times, it was also a bottle of wine worth one or two thousand yuan. How can it be bad?

Zhang Ze returned to the Prince Qi’s Mansion. This time he didn’t meet Prince Qi, so he returned to Su Chen’s yard first.

After telling what happened, Su Chen frowned unconsciously when he heard that the plum blossom vase was kept by Gu Fei for fun.

Zhang Ze saw the opportunity and quickly raised the water bag and said: “Although this water bag is not as beautiful as the plum blossom bottle, it is also used by Miss Xiao Fei to drink water. Otherwise, I will change the bottle and you give it to the prince.”

Su Chen glanced at it lightly: “It’s not this, the lid of the water bag she drinks water from is tied with a red thread.”

Zhang Ze was secretly shocked. It seems that the young master really cares about Miss Gu Fei and even notices her water bag for drinking water.

“It’s better to change the bottle. This water bag is not very good, so as not to waste the good wine.” Su Chen said lightly.

Zhang Ze responded and went out to call the maid to change the bottle.

Su Chen sat in front of the window, looking at a bunch of banana trees outside the window, while imagining the appearance of the plum blossom bottle in his mind. When he thought of the bottle that Gu Fei had played, fell into Xiao Yu’s hands, and his brows frowned unconsciously again.

At this moment, a maid’s voice came from behind: “Young Master, the young prince sent someone to deliver a pair of Ru kiln bottles. Should we store them in the storeroom or put them in the study?”

Su Chen turned around and saw two maids carrying a brocade box and placing it on the table.
