When everyone heard the granduncle’s words, those with malicious intentions pricked up their ears, wanting to know her secret recipe.
Li Chenmo knew what they were thinking and said, "Uncle, my wife is just lucky. When she went to collect firewood at the foot of the mountain, she found a small wild ginseng. After she collects dew every morning, she uses ginseng, some medicinal herbs, Baijiu, and dew to brew this tonic wine. Therefore, the taste of this tonic wine is as clear as spring water."
Everyone was surprised to hear his words. Not to mention how valuable wild ginseng is, just the fact that she worked so hard to collect so much dew is enough to show how filial she is.
While everyone was admiring her filial piety, Lu Jueyu looked at her shameless husband in disbelief. How could he say all this nonsense without blushing?
Sensing his wife’s gaze, Li Chenmo came closer and asked with a smile, "Wife, why are you looking at me like this? I know I’m very good-looking but we are in a public place after all. If you want to kiss me, we can do it when we return to our home."
Lu Jueyu blushed with embarrassment at his shameless words and whispered, "Husband, how can you tell such a lie? You know clearly that I did not collect any dew. What if your father knows your lies?"
Li Chenmo glanced at his father and said with a smile, "Father already knows. Only my eldest brother and those relatives believe what I say."
Lu Jueyu listened to his words and looked at Father Li, who gave them a meaningful look. She felt embarrassed and quickly lowered her head.
At this time, instead of being angry because of his third son’s lies, Father Li was satisfied with the way he handled the matter. After all, he knew full well that some of his cousins were eyeing his third daughter-in-law’s secret recipe.
Although his third son told them the recipe, without any luck, the wine would be impossible to brew because they would need to find wild ginseng. What’s more, it’s difficult for them to collect so much dew.
Father Li knew that although part of what his third son said was a lie, he believed that the third daughter-in-law did use precious medicinal materials and wild ginseng to brew the tonic wine. As for the dew, maybe she used mountain spring water.
Since Li Chenmo had already mentioned the ingredients for the tonic wine, the guests sipped the tonic wine and tasted it slowly. As for the elders, because the wine cup was too small, they drank it all in one go. At this moment, they watched the younger generation slowly tasting the wine, with a trace of regret in their hearts.
Seeing their expressions, Father Li looked at Li Chenmo and asked, "Third son, do you still have the tonic wine?"
Li Chenmo picked up the jar, shook it, and said, "Father, there is still some left. Do you want more?"
Father Li nodded and said, "Give the elders another cup."
She nodded with a smile, "Alright." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
