Sheng Ran transmigrated to the beast world, becoming a universally despised 'evil female'. The original owner, consumed by jealousy for her century-rare 'Saint Female' sister, poiso...
Chapter 68 He has never been turned over by his wife
Ling Rui was still shocked by Sheng Ran's words and stopped where he was.
To others, he looked like a guilty thief.
Seeing that the situation had turned around, Ai Chiji quickly took advantage of the situation and pursued the enemy.
He immediately sat down on the ground, slapping his thigh and howling, "My Zuixianlou has been established in Beining City for thirty years and has never sold fake goods! But you, a mute with unknown origins, set up a stall without any paperwork, and yet you dare to slander my wine as poisonous. If I don't hand you over to the authorities today, I'll take down this sign!"
After he made such a fuss, those who originally believed in Sheng Ran began to hesitate.
Beining City does have rules. Foreign vendors must have documents to set up stalls. Although Ai Chiji looks greasy, he has never been caught.
Just then, the wind blew by, and Sheng Ran's veil fluttered gently. The yellowed and wrinkled scars on her skin flashed by. Combined with her silent appearance at the moment, she really looked like a liar who had been caught.
But no one knew that she was just quickly querying the system and looking through books related to wine making.
This beast world is still stuck in the ancient civilization. Due to technical limitations, their wine is still unfiltered and turbid, with a lot of impurities such as rice dregs, dextrin, and protein remaining.
And because there is no distillation step, the alcohol content of the wine produced is very low and not mellow.
Sheng Ran finally understood why the system had told her when giving her the distillation bottle as a reward that it would be useful in the future.
Everything in the universe had been guiding her to sell wine and make money, and she had only just realized God's good intentions!
Sheng Ran's thoughts kept coming one after another, making Ling Rui even more confused.
What is the wife mumbling about?
Could it be that she has been driven silly by this group of troublemakers and that unreasonable weasel?
Ling Rui immediately perked up. This was the best opportunity for her to comfort her wife!
Maybe if I work harder tonight, I can sleep with her!
He has never been turned over by his wife!
"Wife, please don't get angry..."
Before he could say anything, she shook his hand away.
【Walk! 】
At this moment, Sheng Ran only had a desire for money in her heart, and no yearning for men.
If Ai Chiji hadn't said this, she would have almost forgotten that she still had a distillation bottle to make wine!
Teach her step by step how to swallow up the entire Zuixianlou. This weasel is so stupid that it's cute!
Sheng Ran raised her chin, grabbed the bamboo basket and turned away.
The four orcs were puzzled, but they still obeyed Sheng Ran's decision unconditionally.
They immediately followed, and when Ling Rui passed by Ai Chiji, he deliberately "accidentally" stepped on his tail, causing the weasel to howl in pain.
"You ran away because you felt guilty!" Ai Chiji shouted angrily, covering his tail.
There was a lot of discussion in the crowd. Some people shook their heads and dispersed, while others were still pointing in the direction of Zuixianlou.
After Sheng Ran returned to the inn, people kept coming to her door, cursing and saying they wanted to return the goods.
If you ask any store in the entire city of Beining, you will find that no one is willing to return the items they have sold.
Those people just wanted to bully Sheng Ran because she was from another place and couldn't speak, and they wanted to try their luck by being thick-skinned.
I didn't expect Sheng Ran to really agree so patiently.
She has always disliked forced sales, so since the other party is unwilling, she will just return it intact and let him return it.
After the wine is made, the braised food can be eaten with the wine, and the tea bags can help to sober up, so there is no need to worry about selling these things.
Unexpectedly, she agreed so easily, and the person who came to return the goods felt guilty.
"You...really didn't poison me?"
Sheng Ran shook her head frankly. The innocent will be innocent. There are still many orcs who believe in her and take her goods home. Time will naturally prove everything.
After sending away those who came to return the goods, Sheng Ran ordered the beastmen to find a clean winery on the street and buy a large amount of low-priced turbid wine.
She didn't have much time left. The steps of making the koji, soaking the raw materials, and saccharification and fermentation would take at least a month.
She couldn't do it herself, so she could only buy a semi-finished product and then carry out the most critical distillation.
When the male beasts returned, it was already dark. The dusk was like a piece of velvet soaked in ink, slowly covering the outline of Beining City.
"What does my wife want to do?" Ling Rui put down a large jar of rice wine, panting.
He was still waiting to comfort the sad and frustrated Sheng Ran, but he didn't expect that he would be exhausted first.
Pei Xiaoxing glanced at him calmly, probably able to see through the lion's mind: "My wife has her own plans."
Raven worked silently nearby.
In the morning in front of Zuixian Tower, if he had searched every room in the Tower like a gust of wind, he might have been able to get the Heart-Protecting Scale back.
But Sheng Ran held his wrist, not wanting him to get into trouble.
When he thought of this, there was even more dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Huai Jun.
In recent days, he thought he had expressed his exclusion and disgust thoroughly, leaving no room for maneuver.
Everyone has self-esteem, let alone His Royal Highness the Prince of the Deep Sea Kingdom.
Raven thought he could force Huai Jun away in this way, but he actually endured it without saying a word.
The alarm bells in his heart were ringing loudly. He didn't expect Huai Jun to be willing to go to this extent for his wife.
Don’t you care about your face anymore?
Can't you see that he has become a burden that everyone despises except his wife?
You said you wouldn't stay here, but I don't believe you.
The inn's kitchen was not big enough for Sheng Ran's big project, so she borrowed the entire basement from the owner.
Sheng Ran lit the firewood, the pine wood crackled, and the murals on the four walls of the basement flickered.
Sheng Ran ignored the whispers of the beastly husbands behind her and asked the system to quickly pour out a bunch of things for her while no one was paying attention: a clay distillation bottle with a rough white color, a condenser wrapped with copper wire, and a dozen or so ceramic jars for sealing.
"Is this... for brewing wine?" Pei Xiaoxing leaned over and touched these magical devices curiously.
Sheng Ran nodded, and seeing that Pei Xiaoxing was interested, she drew a simple diagram of a distillation apparatus on the stone table with a charcoal pencil, and marked the words "fire", "cooling", and "wine outlet" next to it.
Pei Xiaoxing squatted down, stared at the drawings with his silver eyes for a while, then stood up and moved a flat stone slab to use as a stove.
As soon as he came to help, the other male beasts were not willing to be outdone and asked Sheng Ran what they could do.
Even Huaijun began to chop wood quietly on the side.
Sheng Ran's eyes swept across the few people and suddenly thought of a question.
Is there anyone among you who cannot drink alcohol?
The wine she wants to make is different from those childish things in the animal world.
If someone accidentally takes a few sips and gets drunk while making it, she won’t have time to take care of them!
Ling Rui was the first to promise, "My dear wife, don't worry. I'm famous for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. I'm a well-known cat-clan wine leaker. No matter how much I drink, my bottle will never be full!"
...and you're still drinking wine, I think you're a big fool!
Sheng Ran looked at Ling Rui suspiciously, and had a feeling that he would be the first one to get drunk and crazy.
