Inside the warehouse in Zhuangzi, the atmosphere was so busy and full of activities. In the middle of that, a Peach girl ordered the busy workers to move the fermented wine from the big keg to the smaller keg. The girl wore simple old-fashioned Chinese clothes, adding a touch of elegance to the atmosphere.
The Peach Girl carefully watches every step of the work done by the workers. He gave the direction in a soft yet firm voice, ensuring that the wine moving process went smoothly and efficiently.
The workers meticulously filled the small barrels with ripe wine, ensuring the quality and cleanliness of each barrel.
The small barrels that had been filled to the brim with wine would soon be taken to the two restaurants owned by the small palace. The restaurants are a place where guests of the palace enjoy delicious dishes and fine wines. The Peach Girl is responsible for ensuring that the wines presented in the restaurants are kept fresh and of high quality.
Around them, there were boisterous sounds and fast movements. The workers carefully and meticulously removed the small barrels, keeping no leakage or damage to the precious wine.
Their every move was closely monitored by the Peach girl, who was trying to give her proper direction and ensure that everything went according to plan.
"Master Hui, the princess of the palace had already said If she wanted to reward the workers who had worked hard to move this wine barrel. Would you agree if they were given each one a glass of wine as a token of gratitude?"
Master hui who heard that was very embarrassed but also excited at the same time. Wine is not a drink that can be drunk by small people like them especially with the tenants in this land.
It has been almost 1 month the aroma of this wine was smelled carried by the wind. But the workers don't even think they can taste it even a spoonful.
But what he heard earlier really brightened his thoughts about the palace princess.
What a girl who deserves that title for having a clear heart and a broad mind.
" Miss surely we are both lucky to get a master like a little palace princess. I'm sure the workers will be very happy to get the prize" he told the Peaches.
Of course the Peach girl agreed with this idea. There were so many noble girls but most of them never thought about the laborers who held the title of slaves.
There were even masters who did not think that these slaves were human. Sometimes the slave is also a lower position than a dog.
But the princess of the palace was different, she never thought that these slaves were worthless
But it has tried to uplift the dignity and dignity of these slaves through its movement to turn beggars into traders
"yes I don't know what merit I have made in my previous life to be able to find a master as good as the princess of the small palace.Tuan Hui, the,please tell the workers that after they finish the task of moving this small barrel into the carriage of the horse carriage, they will get a glass of wine as a reward. They have to get the job done first before they can enjoy it"
"Alright, I'll deliver it to them right away. Thank you, Miss Peaches" said mister hui again.
The Peach Girl noticed the workers who became more enthusiastic after hearing the news.
They excitedly finished the work of moving the small barrel into the carriage of the horse carriage. After the work was done, they gathered in front of Mr. Hui who gave a few cents to their hands as wages to help move the barrels.
But they did not move despite the wages, because these eyes were full of hope to get the promised glass of wine.
After getting a glass of wine a man retreated to one corner.he was a big man but what wine had he ever drank.
The most also it is rice wine.
But it was not thanks to what he currently had when he could taste a drink that only nobles and wealthy people could taste.
" Well, there's finally something fun after this hard work. I'm really looking forward to a glass of wine" she thought to herself
There was only a glass of wine and he had to enjoy it slowly.
" I can't wait to enjoy it. Hopefully this glass of wine can relieve fatigue after working hard"
I don't know what this man was thinking but he didn't take a sip just sticking his tongue out into the glass letting his tongue linger in the glass.
Smelling the aroma of wine alone he could not bear much less to gulp it down the throat.
Immediately his eyes rounded when the tongue reached the glass. Only then did he realize the difference from rice wine and wine made from the Princess' recipe.
"Ohh god, this is the drink of the gods "he thought in heart.
He was one among a group of people who had already earned wages and a glass of wine.
There are a few more people who haven't got it they're waiting for the job to be done.
After the horse-drawn carriage left Zhuangzi, the workers were paid according to their work and finally given a glass of wine they had been waiting for. They sat together, tasting the sweet and fragrant taste of wine.
"Ah, here's the delicacy I'm looking forward to. The sweet taste is like red sugar melted on the tongue, and the aroma of the wine is heart-warming"
" It's true. Every sip of this wine made me feel like I was in heaven. Thank you to the little palace princess who has given this gift"
A look at their reactions and talk about the delicacy of this fermented drink. The Peach girl nodded her head and thought that this would work.
"I'm glad to see you guys enjoying this wine. Zhuangzi wine does have a special taste. May this give a good thing to the princess "said the Peach Girl.
He had to bring one barrel of this wine to the palace to give to zhang fei. After that he directly climbed onto the remaining carriage of the carriage.
Meanwhile the workers were still talking to each other and enjoying every gulp of wine they felt. The sweet and fragrant taste of Zhuangzi wine made them feel happy and entertained after a long day.
On the way the peach girl suddenly saw a wine shop.It is a famous wine shop in the capital.Even the princes also bought wine in the one from this store.
According to the information their wine was brought from far away.
" Eh, coachman! Can you stop the carriage for a moment?" peaches said to the coachman in front.
"Can I help you, Miss Peach?"Ask the coachman.
The Peaches girl got down from the carriage and walked towards the wine shop she saw in the distance. He went into the shop and saw all sorts of wines neatly arranged on the shelves.
The wine places in wine shops are generally not shaped like glass bottles in the modern world . They usually use traditional containers made from natural materials such as clay or ceramics.
For example Guan ( ⁇ ) which is a round container with a narrow neck and a removable lid. Guan usually has intricate decorations and patterns on its surface, reflecting the beauty of Chinese art and cultural richness.
There is also Hu ( ⁇ ) with a shape resembling a bottle with a round body and a longer neck. Hu is usually used to store wine and has a handle on its top.
Also Zun ( ⁇ ) with a wine container with a slimmer and longer shape. They have a narrow neck and a widened bottom. Zun is often decorated with carvings and has a high artistic value.
While Gu ( ⁇ ) has a shape like a cup with a handle on the side. Gu has a short neck and a wider bottom, giving it an elegant and classic feel.
One more You ( ⁇ ) which has a wine container with a round shape and a long neck. They have a handle on the top and are often used in traditional ceremonies and religious rituals.
Here they do not call him by that name but are referred to as altars.
People would buy one altar or two altars of wine.
This is what the Peach girl wants to do.
After looking around, Peach Girl approached the cashier." Sorry, I'd like to buy a small altar of wine. Can you help me?"
This cashier looked at the peach girl and could guess her identity with the clothes worn by the Peach girl. He guessed if the Peach girl was a servant beside him the rich host.
"certain, Miss. What kind of wine do you want?"he said kindly.
" I want the best wine from this store. Wine with a special taste and high quality" said the girl Peaches again. He was not very knowledgeable about the quality of the wine but what the princess asked for was the best wine from the best shop and this is what he is doing right now.
"Okay, I'll help you find him. Please wait a minute"
The Peach Girl waited patiently while looking at the other wines on display in the shop. After a while, the cashier returned with a small barrel of beautiful wine.
"here's the best little altar of wine from our shop. The taste of the wine is very special and fragrant"he bargained to the Peach girl.
"How much?"ask the Peach girl who immediately approved of the small altar.
"this little altar costs only two silvers, but if Miss wants to buy a little big one it's cheap only about 5 silvers"
One small altar actually only contains about 2 or 3 small glasses only.But the price is 2 silver things that allow for poor families to survive for 2 months.
Peach girl pays for wine with a smile on her face. After that, he returned to the carriage with the small altar of wine he had bought.
The Peach girl climbed into the carriage with a happy smile on her face.now in yes compare between the small newly purchased altar and the wine barrel she was storing right now.
Peach girls do not have sensitive noses. But he could judge from the scent produced by these two objects.
It was clear that the fragrance and aroma coming out of the wine barrel made by Zhuangzi was more fragrant when compared to the altar that was said to be the best wine in the store.
Just kissed her Peach girl's heart after joy. It was as if he was the owner of the fermented wine that the princess had successfully developed.
The Peach girl arrived at the small palace with a carriage carrying a wine barrel and a wine altar she had just bought at the famous wine shop in the capital. He got down from the carriage with a happy heart and steady steps.
This small palace has a large courtyard with a beautiful garden. Large trees and colorful flowers adorn the surroundings, creating a soothing and beautiful atmosphere. In the middle of the courtyard is a fountain pool with clear flowing water.
The Peach girl raised the wine barrel carefully and put it inside the small palace. Around the courtyard, he saw several palace maids who were busy with their respective duties. They gave a friendly smile as they passed by Peach girl
Here they are, showing their respect and appreciation to the Peach girl.
"Peach girl"Why some waitress if you meet peach girl.
"Hem happened to bring me an empty ex here and some things for the Princess to drink wine" the Peach Girl said to the slave maid who accidentally passed by.
Inside this palace she was a Peach girl was the dowry service of the palace princess herself.So her status here was higher when compared to the slave servants here.
With this status, all the slave servants had to look up to him high.
The Peach Girl just smiled and nodded slightly. The rest he did not care about the servants and continued his footsteps to find the Princess.
On her way to the courtyard of zhang Fei the Peach girl passed through a beautiful living room with luxurious furnishings and dazzling art ornaments.
The wine altar he bought was an elegant piece of art, made of wood sculpted with fine detail.A servant came up with an empty Mint.
The Peach girl took the wine altar on it and she also placed the wine barrel carefully and arranged several other wine utensils, including wine glasses and a basket of fresh grapes.
He was satisfied with the purchase he made.
Arriving at the courtyard where the Princess was he saw the guard one. One guard stood further away from the gate hinting that there was currently a prince uncle inside the Princess' room.
That way the Peach girl could not enter freely without asking Zhang Fei for permission first.
The Peach girl hesitated a little to disturb the couple's harmony. But this was also an order from the princess of the palace by asking this fermented wine to be tasted.
Should he wait.
