The next day, he went to the pawnshop and pawned his assets for sixty taels. Wang Yu looked at the silver in his hand and felt a little embarrassed. This money might not be enough to build the winery he wanted. He wanted to build it all at once and didn't want to settle.

As he walked, he thought that if it really didn't work, he could only build two houses to make do, and make the wine first to make a profit. When he passed by the Qizhen Pavilion, he suddenly remembered that he had a set of glass goblets. At that time, there was no glass, only colored glaze, and colored glaze was also rare, so he took out the wine glasses from the space and entered the Qizhen Pavilion.

The waiter came forward and asked, "Sir, please come in. What can I do for you? We have many rare items in our Treasure Pavilion. Please feel free to take a look."

Wang Yu didn't hesitate to tell the waiter his purpose. The waiter looked him up and down. He was very handsome, but his clothes didn't look like those of someone who owned anything special. However, the manager often said that one should not judge a person by appearance, so he didn't say anything and told Wang Yu to wait while he went to invite the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper who came out saw that Wang Yu was tall and handsome, dressed like a scholar, and did not look like a liar, so he invited him to the inner hall.

Knowing his purpose, he asked directly, "Scholar, what kind of rare treasure do you have in your hand? If it is really rare, I will take it."

Wang Yu took out the wine glasses that he had smuggled into his backpack and placed them on the table one by one. The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw them. These glasses were even more transparent than colored glass, crystal clear, without any impurities. However, their shapes were a bit strange. He asked, "What is this?"

"A wine glass, a high-heeled glass, used for drinking wine." At this time, there was already wine from the Western Regions, but this wine was also expensive and only the rich and noble could afford it.

Looking at the wine glass, Wang Yu suddenly thought of the poem: Sweet grape wine in the luminous cup, The pipa music urges me to drink. Although it is not a luminous cup, the glass cup is also very good.

The shopkeeper knew about wine but had never drunk it. If the wine was poured into this transparent glass, it would probably complement it even better. He even changed his address and asked, "Sir, how many of these wine glasses do you have?"

"There are only these six, which I got by accident. There may be only these six in the whole Dali." Wang Yu thought to himself, the glass has not come out yet, and it is indeed true that he is the only one who has it.

The shopkeeper felt very sorry when he heard this, but this wine glass is indeed a rare treasure. After all, it is unique in the Dali period! If the boss was here, he would definitely collect it. After thinking about it, he decided not to miss it and said, "Okay, I won't say anything empty. The price is five hundred taels."

Seeing the shopkeeper holding up five fingers, Wang Yu didn't expect that this wine glass could be sold for five hundred taels. He also had two glasses for drinking water. Should he take them out? Oh, there were also two boxes of bottles of white wine, all made of glass. Wang Yu suddenly felt that he was very rich, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. As he just said, it was unique, and this money was enough, so he would not take it out.

Seeing that he was silent, the shopkeeper thought he was unwilling to speak and said, "Six hundred taels, no more!"

Wang Yu looked up when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll sell it to the shopkeeper!"

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the silver notes." He turned around and went to the inner hall to get them. When he came back, he took two silver notes, one for five hundred taels and one for one hundred taels. Wang Yu asked the shopkeeper to exchange all the silver notes for silver ingots.

The shopkeeper looked at him in confusion. The silver bills were light and easy to put down, but the six hundred taels silver ingots were heavy and difficult to carry. However, since the other party said so, he changed them for ten silver ingots of fifty taels and ten silver ingots of ten taels, and put them in a box. The box was full and shining with silver, which made Wang Yu very happy.

When he came out, Wang Yu found a deserted place and put it in the space for safety. To solve the money issue, Wang Yu went directly to his father-in-law's house and gave the blueprint to his eldest brother. Since he was rich and the house was built with blue bricks and tiles, he gave him 150 taels of silver as payment for the materials and labor for building the winery.

"Brother, I'll give you one hundred and fifty taels first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more. This distillation equipment is very important. You need to ask the craftsmen to make it well." Wang Yu pointed to the picture on the second paper. This equipment depends on whether the high-proof liquor can be distilled. It is very important!

"Okay, there should be more than one hundred and fifty taels. Don't worry, the house will be built." Cheng Yang took the money. Although one hundred and fifty taels was a lot, he was not a worldly-wise man. In the past, when his family had good years, they could kill a plum deer and sell one for forty or fifty taels. He was not panicked after taking so much money. He just thought about building the winery. He looked at the blueprint carefully. It was very detailed. He also went to school for two years and could recognize the words on it.

After explaining everything, Wang Yu went to the village chief's house again and gave the cakes and a jar of wine he bought in the town to the village chief's family. Then he and the village chief went to the county without stopping. It was already noon when they arrived at the county. Wang Yu invited the village chief to have a meal and waited for the people from the county government to take up their duties.

"Young man from the Wang family, why are you building a house in our village?" The two people were idle, so the village chief asked the question they had always wanted to ask.

"I'm planning to build a winery." Wang Yu wanted to build a winery in Xiling Village, so he had to establish a good relationship with the village chief, so he told the truth.

"A winery is a place where wine is brewed. If you want to hire someone, please consider our villagers first. Don't worry, most of our villagers are hardworking and capable." The village chief knew the benefits of building a winery in the village. Not only could the villagers work in the winery, but as long as it was built and there were people coming and going, it would also drive the development of the village. This was a good thing.

Wang Yu: "Uncle Village Chief, even if you didn't tell me, I would have done it. My husband's family is in Xiling Village, and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are both from Xiling Village."

"Well, the young man is really good!" The village chief also understood what Wang Yu said, and his purpose was achieved. Both parties had a pleasant conversation on this topic.

When the people from the county government arrived, they went in and stamped the land deed, and that was it. The land belonged to Wang Yu.

After Wang Yu sent the village chief back, he rushed to the town to buy grains for making Daqu. Daqu is made by fermenting sorghum, wheat, and peas. It is an important fermentation agent for making white wine. It is different from the koji used to make white wine here. Wang Yu needs to make this step himself.

Wang Yu bought wheat, sorghum, peas, and other grains at the grain store and had them delivered directly to his home. He also went to a carpenter's shop to order a batch of wooden frames to hold the koji. It was already late when he got home. His parents knew he had gone to the county and were waiting for news at home.

"It's done, don't worry, Dad and Mom." Wang Yu told his family that the money to build the winery was advanced to him by the owner of the restaurant.

Although Wang's father and mother believed in their son very much, they were also nervous about spending so much money at once. However, since they supported their son, they could not say anything discouraging. They just hoped that the winery would be successful.

During this period, apart from going to the academy and the restaurant, he made Daqu at home. He cleaned out the storage room at home and used it to make the qu. Due to the heavy workload, all four people in the family participated.

Re-screen the purchased grains, clean them, grind them to remove impurities, then soak the ground grains in water. Crush the grains after soaking for an hour and a half. Mix the crushed grains according to the proportion. After mixing, put them into a wooden mold and compact them by hand to make a bag of koji with a bulge in the middle. Then put the finished koji into the house for cultivation and it needs to be stored for a period of time.

After doing all this, the family breathed a sigh of relief and just waited for the winery to be built.
