Chapter 406 – Drinking and Carousing

After all that, a few people sat down, wrapped in the cloak and blanket Wei Ruo had given them, and stayed close together.

Just this morning none of them had expected this to happen to them, the pampered young masters.

Who would have thought that in just half a day’s work, they would be huddled together in such a sorry state, just like this, still relying on the Wei family’s big girl’s help, or else at this moment their situation would have to be even more miserable.

“Gulp~” Lu Yuhong’s stomach growled.

That lunchtime meal of goat soup and naan was indeed quite filling, yet after a busy afternoon, it was all pretty much digested.

Lu Yuhong smiled awkwardly, and at the moment, he was not good enough to take the initiative to go to Wei Ruo and pipe her for food.

Everyone who is out and about doesn’t usually have much food on them.

I think the Wei family girl did not will not bring too much, can let them eat a full meal at noon has been very difficult, the night should not.

So even if they were hungry, Lu Yuhong and the others were not in a good position to open this mouth again.

Just then, Wei Ruo came out from inside the carriage carriage, carrying three heavy cloth bags in his hands.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Wei Ruo came to the crowd and opened the first cloth bag, which contained a bag of sweet potatoes.

Wei Ruo put the sweet potatoes that had not been washed and still had mud on them into the fire pit.

This was followed by a second cloth bag, which, when opened, contained small taro.

Wei Ruo planted taro in the manor is mainly produced by large pieces of taro, but still will grow some small head of taro, than sweet potatoes are also small on some of the Wei Ruo now take out is that these relatively small taro.

Similarly, Wei Ruo threw these taro into another fire pit.

Finally Wei Ruo opened the third cloth bag, which contained cubes of cut rice cakes.

These rice cake pieces Wei Ruo did not throw directly into the fire, but with a peeled bamboo stick tied up on the fire to roast.

All of this food should be enough to fill them all up when it’s all roasted.

Seeing this, Lu Yuhong and the others couldn’t help but have more than a look of surprise on their faces.

Originally thinking that they were going to starve at night, they didn’t realize that they had still underestimated the food reserves in the Wei family’s big girl’s carriage!

After roasting for a short while, the fire pit emitted the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes, I don’t know if everyone is hungry, the smell is particularly attractive.

The flavor of the rice cakes and taro baked up is not as strong, but it’s just as exciting to look forward to.

Seeing that the roasting was almost done, Wei Ruo went back inside the carriage to fetch something.

Wei Ruo came out again holding a wine jar.

“Miss Wei, is this ……?” Yuan Wangyuan looked at the altar Wei Ruo carried with a gaze tinged with doubt.

“Thyme.” Wei Ruo said and placed the wine jar in front of a few people.

“Miss Wei is going to buy us a drink?” Yuan Wangyuan asked again.

Not only because of the Thyme this wine itself is precious and difficult to buy, but now they are in a situation where they can have a place to warm up is already very rare, how can they dare to hope that they can also drink wine.

“Drinking alcohol can warm your body from the cold.” Wei Ruo explained.

Tonight these people to sleep well is unlikely, the long night is difficult to pass, drinking can be warm and can pass the time, not a good method.

At those words several people’s faces couldn’t help but show a look of delight.

Lu Yuhong was the first to get up and thank him, “You’re too kind, big girl!”

Yuan Wangyuan said, “Miss Wei has a heart.”

Liu Yu also couldn’t help but say, “Miss Wei, you’re too thoughtful.”

Wei Ruo smiled, then commanded a few people to clean the bowls that had just been used to drink the mutton soup.

Cleaning is also very simple, just take the outside snow and give the bowl a few rubs.

This method doesn’t necessarily wash as much as it should, but in today’s situation, people wouldn’t have counted on that much a long time ago.

Then several people poured a bowl, and Wei Ruo was no exception.

Seeing Wei Ruo’s bold movements a few people were slightly stunned, but soon they all felt that there was nothing more to it.

Ordinary days should observe the laws of etiquette, and men and women should avoid suspicion.

But now this is the situation, get a bad life are gone, and then care about the difference between men and women seems to be too pedantic a little.

“I’ll drink a toast to Miss Wei first, thanking her for her righteous assistance today, as well as preparing such rich food for us.” Yuan Wangyuan was the first to get up and give his thanks, then he himself drank first in honor of the occasion.

Wei Ruo was not the least bit formal, raising the bowl and taking a large sip in response.

Seeing Wei Ruo like this, Lu Yuhong also got up and toasted Wei Ruo: “Big girl, I can’t speak, anyway, the meaning is not much different from Brother Wang Yuan, anyway, I also toast you.”

Said Lu Yuhong first drink as a toast.

Wei Ruo responded very cheerfully, then tilted his head back to take another large sip.

Immediately after that, Liu Yu and Gao Wentian similarly toasted Wei Ruo, expressing their gratitude for Wei Ruo’s actions today.

As he watched Wei Ruo drop in and drink with the man, Wei Yi Chen looked calm and didn’t make a sound to stop him.

He held the bowl of wine in silence and took a small, restrained sip.

Wei Ruo’s sprightly appearance was reflected into Xu Fengyuan’s eyes, and after a while, he suddenly got up as if he had figured something out.

“Big girl, I’ll drink to you too.”

Xu Fengyuan’s face no longer had the initial twinge, and he gazed at Wei Ruo with a relieved smile on his face.

When Xu Fengyuan opened his mouth this time, everyone looked at him unexpectedly.

He had been silent today, so the people guessed that he hadn’t completely let go of Wei Ruo.

Wei Ruo also felt a little surprised and met Xu Feng Yuan’s eyes.

Seeing his face smile affable and bright, his eyes frank and clear, Wei Ruo suddenly let go of the new, then there are no more scruples, lifting the bowl to respond.

The two of them tilted their heads together and drank the wine, and then Xu Fengyuan said, “Big girl, there was some abruptness before, I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

“Mr. Xu is the one, don’t take it to heart.” Wei Ruo said back.

Both of them did not say it clearly, but the meaning of the words was clear to all those present.

Xu Fengyuan shook his head and smiled lowly, “Some things are my wishful thinking and have nothing to do with the eldest girl.”

Up to this point, several people present, except for Wei Yi Chen who didn’t honor Wei Ruo, the rest of them did.

And then a few people continued to drink wine and eat baked sweet potatoes, baked taro and baked rice cakes painfully.

The clear white wine exuded a strong aroma, and tasted even a little more flavorful than usual.

And those rough-looking baked sweet potato baked taro baked rice cake is also like a mountain delicacy, like a taste of the sea.

The crowd was talking and laughing, and even though it was freezing cold, there was something special about it.

Time just passes without realizing it.

It was getting dark and the wind and snow had not abated, and the temperature was getting colder and colder.

Right at this moment, a few figures in the white snow in the distance attracted the attention of Wei Ruo and the others.

At the same time those few people also noticed the shed Wei Ruo and the others were in.

An expression of extreme surprise appeared on these people’s faces, and then they accelerated their pace of traveling this way.
