Mother Gu took the banknote and touched it, a bright smile on her face. "That's great. I've been worried about running out of money and opening my eyes to find a whole house full of people waiting for food and drink."

She put down the banknote and gently pinched Gu Xinran's small and tender face. "My Ranran is really getting more and more promising. Mother enjoys your blessing every day."

Gu Xinran rubbed her face, which didn't hurt at all, and protested in a low voice, "I'm a grown-up girl now, and you still treat me like three-year-old Tingting. You can't pinch me."

Grandma Gu reached out lovingly and pinched the tender flesh on the other side. "In grandma's eyes, there's no difference between you and Tingting. We're both children. Don't work too hard. Your life is very good now."

After enjoying the loving touches from her grandmother and mother, Gu Xinran mysteriously took out the mahogany box given by Master Dou and pushed it in front of them.

Mother Gu glanced at it suspiciously, and opened it at her signal. A box of silver bills appeared in front of them, a full six thousand taels. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in surprise.

Gu Xinran recounted in detail what happened at the Dou Mansion. The two were very relieved. Fortunately, Ranran was very capable and saved the old lady's life, otherwise they would definitely not be able to become his disciple today.

At the same time, they treasured the medicine given by Ranran even more. They touched the small medicine bottles they carried with them, and fortunately they were all there. They patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xinran looked at their cute actions, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she reminded them again, "You must take this medicine with you, it can save your life in dangerous moments.

Also, now you don't doubt my ability to make money, right? Let's spend it and enjoy it, let's live a prosperous life and celebrate the New Year with great joy."

Trust filled their eyes. They smiled and nodded, then pushed the two hundred taels of silver notes and the box in front of Gu Xinran, urging her to keep them.

Seeing that she had put it away, the two of them felt more at ease.

Just after comforting her grandmother and mother, Gu Xinran was pulled to the side hall by Duan Yunchi to discuss the winery matters.

Gu Xinran went back to the room and got the blueprints, placed them on the table and showed them one by one, asking him to give his opinion.

After watching carefully, Duan Yunchi was shocked. His cousin was really amazing. She had a brain full of wonderful ideas.

He put away the drawings of the renovations and the wine jars and bottles. "Very good, I'll start looking for people and a place right away. We'll start after the New Year and open the Yunzhou branch store together. I've also purchased several thousand kilograms of wine and will ship it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, you arrange it. Is the name 'Ruyuan Lingjiufang' okay?"

"Very good, worthy of the name. I'll have someone make the plaque."

"OK."

Gu Xinran continued to show some simple sketches while chatting.

Duan Yunchi looked at it curiously and couldn't help laughing. "If you have back pain, leg pain, or leg cramps, use Tiger Bone Spirit Wine... What are these? The diagram above is quite vivid. Why is there a small ancient well in the lower right corner?"

Gu Xinran glanced at him, lowered her head and pointed at the drawing to help him clear up his confusion.

"Just laugh, it's fun to see, right? These are the labels for the four current wines. We need to find someone with good calligraphy and painting skills to draw them. "Ancient Well" is the trademark, and all future properties and products must be printed or engraved with it. When you make the plaque, don't forget to engrave it in the lower right corner."

Although Duan Yunchi didn't understand why the trademark was designed as a well, he thought it was a good idea. From now on, whenever he saw this logo, he would know it was produced by his cousin. "Good, very creative."

Gu Xinran wasn't happy about his praise. She sighed and shook her head, "Alas, the technology is too backward. We can't make anti-counterfeiting marks. It's too easy to imitate."

Duan Yunchi pondered for a moment before speaking, "How about we train a few people to specialize in label drawing, and then leave subtle marks in the details. This way, it will have its own unique characteristics and be more difficult to imitate."

"Good idea, let's do it. I'll leave this to you."

"Don't worry, I guarantee it will be done properly. You just need to make the wine."

Duan Yunchi finished speaking and took out a signed contract and handed it to her. "Ranran, does what we agreed on in Wu'an County still count? You'll be responsible for making the wine, and I'll be responsible for sales. We'll split the profits 70% and 30%."

Gu Xinran smiled, "Of course it counts. Let's work hard and make Ruyuanling Winery popular in Dalan and well-known in Zhou Kingdom! If we are going to do it, we must do it to the best of our ability."

Duan Yunchi felt that the words "popular in Dalan and renowned throughout the Zhou Kingdom" were deafening, stirring up great ambitions. "Alright, let's work together to accomplish something great!"

Gu Xinran picked up a pen and signed her name on the contract. After signing three copies, she handed them back to Duan Yunchi, "Happy cooperation!"

“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”

The two of them high-fived to form an alliance!

Duan Yunchi took the contract and said, "I'll take these to the government office for filing, and then send you a copy."

Gu Xinran nodded, and the winery matter was settled.

The two of them chatted in the side hall about various sales methods, such as membership system, hunger marketing, full discount and full gift, holiday lottery...

Duan Yunchi felt like a new world had opened up before his eyes! He couldn't wait for the winery to open tomorrow so he could put his dreams into practice.

They chatted until dinner time, when Grandpa Gu and the housekeeper, who had been out for the day, came back and interrupted them.

When Gu Xinran saw that her grandfather looked radiant and energetic, she knew that things on the farm must have been arranged well.

Moving to the central hall, Butler Zhao first reported on the situation at the farm and subsequent arrangements, and Accountant Wang also explained today's expenses. Everything was in order.

Gu Xinran was happy and praised the two for their good work, and let them go down to rest and have a meal.

Grandpa Gu visited all five farms today. In fact, except for Gu's mother's dowry farm, the other four are not far away and belong to Funing Town, Jinzhou Prefecture.

The vast tracts of fertile land on the farm have always been in front of Grandpa Gu's eyes. He never dreamed that the Gu family could own so many fields. It was so worth it to see the Gu family's success in this life.

At the dinner table, Grandpa Gu recounted what he had seen and heard in Zhuangzi, and he seemed very happy and excited.

When he learned that Xuanxuan had become Master Dou's disciple, his sense of happiness increased to another level.

Gu Xinran opened a jar of Ganoderma lucidum wine and everyone celebrated together.

Duan Yunchi satisfied his drinking craving and felt lucky that moving to live with his aunt was a wise decision.

The dinner ended with laughter and joy.

Gu Xinran felt that this was the life she wanted, and hoped that this beauty would last forever!

After dinner, Tingting finally waited for story time.

Gu Xinran talked about the birth of the stone monkey, the selection of the Monkey King, and the apprenticeship, and everyone was fascinated by his story.

Duan Yunchi kept asking what the storybook was, wanting to buy a set for himself. She rolled her eyes impatiently and asked where she could find the storybook, so she could only say that she had made it up herself.

Unexpectedly, he became even more excited and forced her to continue writing. He also persuaded her to write it out and he would arrange for the bookstore to print it.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, I had to reluctantly agree and promised to give a speech every day.

Everyone dispersed happily after receiving a satisfactory answer.

After Gu Xinran returned to the room, she entered the space and first went to check on the growth of the potatoes. They were growing very well. Green leaves as high as a finger grew in half a day, and they would be ready for harvest in about ten days.
