Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 129 Wine Tasting

She laid out the items in her arms one by one, and there were five plump, round, and tempting peaches on the carriage.

Bunches of translucent, agate-like purple grapes, and a large, round, emerald-green watermelon...

The dazzling array of fruits exudes an enticing aroma, making one's mouth water just by looking at them.

To their surprise, there were strawberries and tomatoes here that they had never seen before!

Fenniang's eyes widened in surprise, her jaw almost dropping to the ground, and her mouth gaped open, unable to close for a long time.

Lang'er and Mo'er, standing to the side, looked like two little sparrows frozen in place.

They stood straight in front of the fruit, their eyes unblinking, as if afraid of missing any of the delicious treats.

Even Wang Xuping, who is known for his seriousness, couldn't help but show a slight change in expression at this moment, and could no longer maintain his usual calm and composure.

Not to mention the maids and guards of the Wang family, who were like bees that had smelled nectar.

They all gathered around, curiously looking at these novel gadgets.

“Miss Yue…Miss Yue, this…” Fen Niang stammered, her speech becoming incoherent due to extreme surprise.

This was probably the most out-of-control moment of her life. But how could she be blamed?

After all, the aroma of these fruits is just too tempting; it's no wonder that children are drooling with envy.

Even someone as knowledgeable and experienced as her, who had tasted countless delicacies, felt her appetite whetted and couldn't wait to take a bite and try it.

Just then, Su Yue smiled slightly and took out two jars of wine from the carriage.

One jar contained baijiu (Chinese liquor) infused with spiritual spring water, while the other contained fruit wine brewed using the same spiritual spring water.

In addition, she also took out a lot of snacks, including carefully dried rabbit meat, duck necks and duck feet that exuded a spicy aroma, and so on.

The dazzling array of food left the entire Wang family speechless with astonishment.

In the past, Fen Niang and Wang Xuping would not have been so astonished.

However, after this natural disaster, people could barely fill their stomachs, let alone enjoy something as luxurious as fruit.

As for those sweet and delicious fruits, they could only secretly dream about them.

At that moment, when they suddenly saw such fragrant fruit laid out before them, the long-suppressed desire deep within their hearts surged up like a tidal wave.

How could one not be drooling over it?

Fen Niang pointed to the items displayed in front of Su Yue and asked expectantly, "Are all of these really for sale?"

Upon hearing that she wanted to buy them all, Su Yue was overjoyed, thinking to herself, "I didn't take enough! I finally found a fat sheep!"

She quickly replied, "Sell them all, sell them all."

Wang Xuping, standing to the side, gazed at the dazzling array of food and drinks, filled with joy, yet still retaining a sliver of rationality.

He asked, "How much do you intend to value these items, young lady?"

After all, they were traveling light and carrying only a limited amount of money back to the capital.

Furthermore, fearing encounters with robbers and bandits along the way, they dared not carry too much money.

That pot of candied walnuts alone cost twenty taels of silver. Faced with so many other delicacies, I really don't know how much silver I would need to buy them all.

"Not much, not much." Su Yue smiled and gently extended a slender finger, waving it in the air.

These all grew from her own space! This mere hundred taels of silver is already a very cheap price for her to sell to them.

Wang Xuping, who was standing to the side, saw the finger that Su Yue had extended, and then turned to look at the items that were piled up in front of the carriage.

After thinking it over to himself for a moment, he nodded, as a way of thanking them for bringing his child back.

So he nodded slightly to Fen Niang beside him, signaling her to quickly get the money for the girl.

Before long, the maids and guards of the Wang family came forward one after another and carefully carried the various foods placed on the carriage back to their own carriages.

After all the food had been moved out, Su Yue waved goodbye to the Wang family and then got into the car and left.

Meanwhile, in the Wang family camp, the adorable and lively young master Lang'er and Mo'er could no longer contain their excitement and curiosity.

He couldn't wait to pester his mother to let him try the new and exotic fruits first.

Unable to refuse her children, Fenniang hurriedly took a bright red, juicy strawberry, washed it clean, and handed it to Lang'er and Mo'er.

The two took the strawberry that emitted an enticing aroma and couldn't wait to put it in their mouths and take a small bite.

In an instant, an unprecedentedly wonderful taste blossomed on the tip of their tongues, and the sweet and sour taste instantly won over the hearts of the two little ones.

Lang'er's eyes lit up, and he mumbled indistinctly, "Delicious, so delicious!" Then he wolfed down five or six strawberries in a row until his father stopped him.

Lang'er, who had been stopped by his father from continuing to enjoy the food, now had a somewhat mournful look in his originally bright and sparkling eyes.

She looked at Wang Xuping pitifully, as if silently protesting why her father wouldn't let her eat more of those delicious strawberries.

At the same time, Wang Xuping's attention was completely drawn to the two jars that the servants had just brought back and placed on the table.

He slowly approached the carriage containing the jars and reached out to lift the lid off one of the jars.

The moment the lid was lifted, a rich and mellow aroma of wine wafted out and quickly filled the air...

His father's greatest hobbies were drinking and reading.

His father was a connoisseur of all kinds of fine wines, and as his son, he was influenced by him from a young age and is also very familiar with the aromas of various wines.

With just a gentle sniff, one can accurately determine whether the wine in front of them is a fine vintage.

Originally, when he learned that he had spent a full one hundred taels of silver to buy these two jars of wine, he felt a little pain in his heart, after all, this was no small amount of money.

However, at this moment, when he personally opened one of the jars of wine, a rich and mellow aroma instantly wafted out.

Just by smelling the aroma of the wine, he immediately realized that the money was well spent!

Unable to contain his curiosity, he stepped forward again and carefully opened the other jar of wine.

In an instant, a fresh and pleasant fruity aroma wafted out like a spring breeze.

"Huh? These are two completely different kinds of wine!" Wang Xuping exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise and curiosity.
