Small Farmer Medical God-Chapter 1554 - 1549: A New Business Opportunity?

As Hu Xiaobei was persuading, memories about him began to surface in his mind.

He wasn’t really his third uncle by blood, but when he was young, Hu Xiaobei enjoyed playing with him.

Most of Hu Xiaobei’s skills in catching birds and fish were taught by him!

He married early, but later his wife fell seriously ill and passed away.

For so many years, he’s been single, living alone.

Previously, Hu Xiaobei didn’t know how to comfort him.

But now, Hu Xiaobei wants to persuade him to start a new life, because auntie really has been gone for a long, long time.

...

"Let’s talk about this later!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei silently sighed...

He knew that his third uncle obviously couldn’t let go, so there was no need to continue persuading him.

Returning to the Gazebo, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the nearly finished watermelon, coughed lightly, and said casually, "Actually, what my third uncle said earlier was a bit exaggerated. I did come here a few times when I was young, but it was only a few times."

"Master Xiaobei, you don’t need to explain, we understand!"

Hearing their response, Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched...

Hu Xiaobei knew that they obviously didn’t believe him.

Without explaining further, Hu Xiaobei said directly, "Have you finished eating? Let’s keep walking around! There are still many places to see in Xiaohe Village!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s suggestion, they looked at him...

Dan Yimei, who hadn’t spoken much, squinted at her eyes and actively asked, "Master Xiaobei, you’re so familiar with Xiaohe Village because you used to sneak around a lot when you were young, right?"

"No way!"

Hu Xiaobei quickly denied...

"Really no?"

Seeing that they wanted to get to the bottom of it, Hu Xiaobei quickly changed the topic, "Definitely not, alright, let’s continue!"

"Alright!"

They agreed with a smile again...

...

"What? You guys are actually planning to stay here?"

In the afternoon, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them sitting in the Gazebo by the river and asked, somewhat surprised...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei was truly a bit dumbfounded...

Because they just mentioned that they planned to stay, and it seemed it wasn’t just for a day or two...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s shocked expression, they squinted their eyes, a bit annoyed.

"Master Xiaobei, we originally planned to stay, so what? Are you not welcoming us to stay?"

"Exactly!"

"Welcome, how could I not welcome you?"

Hu Xiaobei quickly responded.

Truth be told, Hu Xiaobei had no objections to them staying.

But if they also want him to be their tour guide, Hu Xiaobei had a slight objection.

Because being their tour guide was really difficult...

They didn’t explore many places that day, but Hu Xiaobei was really tired because he was constantly taking pictures.

Hu Xiaobei had forgotten how many he had taken...

No matter where they went, they had to take pictures, and once this was done, that one needed a picture too.

Two people in a picture, three people, four people...

Thinking about it, Hu Xiaobei felt truly terrified.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak without conviction, they looked at him and said with a smile, "Don’t worry, we won’t have you take pictures anymore during the next days!"

"Really?"

"Really! We’ve taken enough photos today to show off to others!"

Receiving a definite answer, Hu Xiaobei laughed and welcomed them, "Alright, welcome to stay with us!"

"Master Xiaobei, you change your face so quickly!"

"Uh..."

Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched, unsure of what to say...

...

As night fell, Hu Xiaobei returned alone to his third uncle’s watermelon shed.

This time, Hu Xiaobei brought a bottle of white liquor.

Hu Xiaobei knew his third uncle enjoyed having a drink... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

This was discovered when Hu Xiaobei used to sneak watermelons as a child...

"Third Uncle!"

Approaching the outside of the watermelon shed, Hu Xiaobei called softly.

"Hm? Xiaobei, is that you?"

Hearing his third uncle’s response, Hu Xiaobei quickly stated his intentions, "It’s me, have you eaten? Let’s have a drink together?"

"Come, come, come, I’ve just finished cooking."

With such polite words, Hu Xiaobei entered the watermelon shed.

The shed wasn’t big, but his third uncle had tidied it up well...

Hu Xiaobei knew that his third uncle basically lived and dined here, so he kept the place especially clean.

"Third Uncle, four dishes, you’re living well!"

Seeing the four small dishes on the rustic table, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes.

After glancing at Hu Xiaobei, his third uncle quickly explained, "I just sold some watermelons today, so I made a couple more dishes. I’m preparing saplings for the next few days, so I’m treating myself a little now."

"I see! That’s great timing, I brought some liquor, we must have a good drink today."

"Still remember your third uncle enjoys drinking? Great!"

With that, Hu Xiaobei sat down with him...

Once seated, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him before quickly uncorking the bottle.

Instantly, a rich aroma wafted through the air.

"The liquor is really nice!"

"Is it?"

"It is!"

"I bought this from outside before. The seller said it had been aged for more than a decade!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, he raised his glass and tasted it, genuinely praising, "It’s really good, but it’s still a little short compared to my homemade fruit wine."

"Third Uncle, you can make your own wine?"

"Actually, it’s not exactly mine, a friend gave me the recipe. I followed it, and the result was surprisingly good."

"Oh? Did you use our village’s ingredients?"

"Yes!"

"Can I try it?"

Hearing such a definite response, Hu Xiaobei became very interested...

"Of course, that’s no problem at all! Just wait a moment!"

Promising so, he quickly went out.

Soon, he returned carrying an old-looking jar.

Hu Xiaobei took a few glances and his eyes lit up...

Because from it, Hu Xiaobei smelled a strong, fresh aroma...

Hu Xiaobei knew that inside it must be the fruit wine his third uncle had just mentioned.

"Just from the aroma alone it seems good, I bet it tastes even better!"

Genuinely praising, Hu Xiaobei remarked, "Third Uncle, others hide beauties in golden houses, but you, you hide wine!"

"What do you mean hide wine! I’m just openly putting it here, you’re just too busy to come by!"

"Hehe! From now on, even just for this wine, I have to come often."

"Always welcome!"

Speaking like this, he quickly tore open the paper sealing the jar...

In that instant, the rich aroma filled the entire watermelon shed...

"Smells wonderful, truly wonderful!"

After praising, Hu Xiaobei enthusiastically looked at the jar and said, "Third Uncle, this wine is indeed much better than the one I brought!"

"Yes! Bring a bowl over, let’s have a good taste together."

"Alright!"

Agreeing happily, Hu Xiaobei quickly handed a wine bowl over.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei saw him grab the jar. At the same time, Hu Xiaobei saw the bowl filling up with a light yellow liquid.

As it filled more, the aroma became even stronger...

"Truly a rare find, truly a rare find!"

Hu Xiaobei was genuinely excited and full of praise...

At that moment, Hu Xiaobei heard a sigh.

"Third Uncle? You... what’s wrong? Why are you sighing?"

Having asked, Hu Xiaobei curiously looked at him, and instantly, he heard his soft response.

"It’s nothing, just that the person who gave me the recipe said it’s incomplete. They mentioned if it could be completed, the wine would taste even better!"
