The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1245: Thank You

The aroma of alcohol filled the air, and Long Xiaoyu’s eyes immediately widened.

Seeing this, Ling Feng said to Tang Xiaoqian, "Just give it to her, this little tippler seems to be craving it!"

"Oh."

Tang Xiaoqian was quite surprised but still handed the glass to Long Xiaoyu.

Holding it in her hand, Long Xiaoyu took a big sip right away. Under the gaze of everyone, she smacked her lips and said, "It’s not as good as the last one!"

"Of course, that was aged, and this is newly brewed; they can’t be the same," Ling Feng said helplessly.

"Oh, no wonder, the taste is still good!" Long Xiaoyu replied.

"New wine is like that. Once it’s aged for a while and changes color, it’ll be delicious!"

Ling Feng smiled and turned to Tang Xiaoqian, "Just set these aside and send the rest to that cave!"

"Okay!"

Tang Xiaoqian felt a bit down initially, but seeing Ling Feng’s gaze restored her confidence, so she quickly organized the workers to carry on.

The cave’s space was endlessly vast; with only a few hundred wine jars now, it was sufficient for the moment, but with more wine brewing in the future, more jars would be needed for storage.

Several thousand more wine jars were on the way and would arrive soon.

By then, batches of rice wine would be labeled with production dates for storage, and it would depend on the aging process when they could be tapped.

Even though Ling Feng had set up maturation formations in the cellar, he wasn’t sure about the exact duration.

As it was the first batch of wine out of the pot, the scene was rather quiet, and Ling Feng felt it wasn’t lively enough, so he asked Tang Xiaoqian, "Sis, is there no preparation of firecrackers for the wine release?"

"Uh, no, I didn’t think it was necessary, buying those things just wastes money," Tang Xiaoqian answered.

"What waste? How much can firecrackers cost? This is our winery’s first jar, how commemorative it is!"

Ling Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Don’t worry, Mr. Ling, I have some at home. I’ll go get them for you!"

Tang Wansheng said, turning around and jogging home.

Watching his back, Ling Feng knew the old man was in high spirits and sighed, saying, "He’s such a good village chief!"

"Back then, to help the villagers make some money, he led people to fuss with Shankou Village!" Tang Xiaoqian laughed.

Remembering how people from both Tang Family Village and Shankou Village started fighting, Ling Feng also laughed wryly and said, "That’s what happens when you’re afraid of being poor; who wouldn’t want to earn more money for a good life?"

Hearing this, Mu Lingling and Tang Xiaoqian exchanged a glance, neither saying a word.

At this moment, Long Xiaoyu felt a bit restless and turned to Ling Feng, "Uncle, it’s boring here, I want to go back!"

"Uh, you can go back first then."

Ling Feng knew she felt a bit disappointed for not getting the wine from last time, so he didn’t say much, thinking he’d bring her some aged wine when it was ready.

As for leaving with her, that was obviously not possible since Village Chief Tang hadn’t returned with the firecrackers yet!

Long Xiaoyu knew he couldn’t leave, so she nodded, turned around, and headed towards Shankou Village.

Once she was gone, Mu Lingling asked, "Brother Ling, who is that girl?"

"I didn’t have time to introduce her; she’s Long Xiaoyu, my, uh, good friend!" Ling Feng replied.

He didn’t know how to define his relationship with Long Xiaoyu. Calling her his girlfriend wasn’t quite right just yet, so he could only say it like this.

Mu Lingling made an "oh" sound and then sighed, "Miss Long is really beautiful!"

"Right, hehe."

Ling Feng gave an embarrassed smile, not knowing what else to say.

Tang Xiaoqian and Mu Lingling exchanged another look, both feeling a hint of disappointment.

After a while, Tang Wansheng returned in high spirits with two villagers, each holding a bunch of firecrackers.

Looking at this setup, it seemed like they had brought out all their reserves!

Ling Feng smiled and said, "You still have so many firecrackers at home?"

"We bought too many during last year’s New Year and never used them. Planned to save them for the next New Year, but today’s atmosphere is comparable to New Year, so let’s just set them off!" Tang Wansheng laughed.

Ling Feng nodded and, without any further politeness, spread the firecrackers on the ground and then lit them.

The explosions immediately sounded, shaking the entire valley!

These certainly set the mood, and with the firecrackers going off, everyone had a smile on their face!

After setting off the firecrackers, which served as a celebration, Ling Feng planned to leave the village and head back.

However, as he was about to leave, Tang Wansheng and Tang Xiaoqian wouldn’t let him go, insisting he stay for a meal!

Unable to refuse, Ling Feng had to stay.

Lunch was at Tang Wansheng’s home. The villagers had already heard about the dividends; the thought of the winery making hundreds of thousands a day got everyone really excited!

From the moment they arrived at the village chief’s house, villagers began bringing the best food from their homes.

Salted fish and cured meat quickly piled up into a mountain. Ling Feng knew it was a gesture from everyone, so even though he said several times they couldn’t finish it all, he couldn’t stop people’s enthusiasm.

Finally, having no choice, he asked Tang Xiaoqian to take all of it back to the winery for future meals for the workers.

After lunch, Ling Feng went outside to use the restroom and planned to leave afterwards, but Tang Xiaoqian seized the moment when no one was around, pulled him aside, and said, "Come to my house later; Sis is waiting for you at home!"

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, and before he could react, she turned and walked off in a hurry.

After a brief moment of confusion, Ling Feng went back in to bid farewell to Tang Wansheng, then left his house.

Officially leaving Tang Family Village, but after a detour, he secretly returned to Tang Xiaoqian’s home.

Quietly entering the courtyard, Ling Feng directly pushed open the door and went inside.

The inner room was lit, and upon entering, he found the curtains already drawn.

Tang Xiaoqian was sitting there, looking at him with a playful smile.

Ling Feng’s throat felt dry, and he asked hoarsely, "Sis, what is this?"

"Come sit over here."

Tang Xiaoqian’s face was flushed, and she patted the edge of the bed beside her.

Ling Feng said "oh" as he sat down, already aware of what was going on.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Tang Xiaoqian threw herself into his arms, resting her head on Ling Feng’s chest. "Sis doesn’t have much to offer you; this is the only way I can thank you."

Hearing her murmurs, Ling Feng sighed quietly and held Tang Xiaoqian’s shoulders, "Sis, you don’t have to do this!"

"I know, but Sis couldn’t help it..."

Tang Xiaoqian said, lifting her head, with her gaze blurred, as she offered her lips.

By this point, Ling Feng definitely couldn’t just push her away, so he stopped pretending to be the gentleman and lowered his head to kiss her.

Tang Xiaoqian’s body temperature instantly rose, trembling slightly.

Ling Feng was also overwhelmed with emotion, embracing the person in his arms tightly!
