When Xiaoying's Mother walked out of the kitchen, she not only brought out a bowl of hot soup for Fengying to drink, but also produced a plate of peanuts, a plate of raisins, a plate of dried bean curd mixed with vermicelli, a large plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a large plate of marinated beef, setting them one by one on the dining table. After that, she placed a small porcelain jar on the table. She then took a small bowl, poured a serving of wine, handed it to Fengying, and said, "Child, this is wine brewed from wild mountain fruits picked right here at home.
It tastes wonderful, clears away wind-toxins, and is the absolute best tonic for women. We always say the reason the young women of our Xiushan Village turn out so striking is because they drink this wine regularly." Fengying had heard Xiuying talk about it before, and had even had her family send two jars of it to Mala.
Hearing Xiaoying's Mother say this now, she just smiled and asked, "Is this the precious Zhenzi wine?" Xiaoying's Mother smiled and said, "Drink up." She watched closely as Fengying drank it down in one breath, then turned to Mala with a smile and said, "I hear Long'er loves it too, so this jar is for Long'er to have a midnight treat.
