Bai Zhongqi held a ceramic cup, savoring the sweet liquor brewed by the village, and marveled that this place had a bit of a utopian charm.
The name of the village was so simple that one might find it thoughtless — Riverside Village. It was named after its location by the river. The population in this area was sparse, mainly mountain people, with a few patches of flat land and very fertile soil, which contributed to its utopian-like scenery.
As a former guest, when the villagers heard of his visit, they all came to see him, many bringing their own food. Even though none of it was particularly valuable, it showed the villagers' heartfelt welcome. Bai Zhongqi particularly enjoyed the sweet liquor brewed in the village, made by fermenting sweet melons and wild fruits. It was a sweet wine with low alcohol content and a fantastic taste.
