"Have you heard? The Liang family has created a kind of Jiuquanxian. The taste...tsk, it's like becoming an immortal..."
"The Liang family? Is that Mr. Liang's family? Isn't it the Xun family that's good at making wine?"
"Isn't it the Liang family?"
In an alley with no end in sight, two middle-aged men in their thirties were facing each other.
The man standing in front was holding a yellow clay pot and in his other hand was a piece of pork with fat and meat.
From time to time, he would put the pottery jar in his hand to his nose and sniff it gently.
An obsessed look.
“Is it really that delicious?”
"Of course!"
The man nodded without hesitation.
"It's this wine. It's really not cheap. One pound costs one hundred coins."
"What? One hundred coins? Robbery!"
"How much food can this buy——"
The best white flour and grain only cost forty cents, this pound of wine costs one hundred cents, and the most expensive wine in town is only thirty-five cents per pound.
If you buy a pound of this wine, you can buy several pounds of that wine.
"Hey, you don't understand. This wine is much better than that one. After drinking it, all my worries disappear."
"Is it really as mysterious as you say?"
The man looked incredulous.
"How could I possibly lie to you? Even so, this wine isn't sold out every day. I had to wait in a long line to buy some!"
"Mr. Liang, what do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jiang Yue sat by the window on the second floor of the most prosperous restaurant in town, her view just falling on the newly opened restaurant downstairs.
There, people come and go in an endless stream.
The wine that was just taken out was quickly sold out.
Mr. Liang sat opposite Jiang Yue, looking at the grand scene in front of the restaurant with satisfaction.
He spoke to Jiang Yue opposite him with a smile.
"Miss Jiang is indeed not an ordinary person. Liang admires her."
"As for what Miss Jiang said before, Liang will not keep her waiting for long."
As he spoke, Liang Yuanwai took out a wooden box from his sleeve. The servant beside him immediately understood and opened the box. The contents were instantly exposed.
Jiang Yue's eyes flashed slightly, and Liang Yuanwai nodded.
The servant pushed the wooden box in front of Jiang Yue.
"This is the profit you received from me before, but it's only a part of it. I'll settle the rest with you after this batch of wine is brewed and officially put on sale."
"In that case, please trouble Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yue's eyes did not fall on the box, she just raised her hand and put the box away.
Mr. Liang took in all her movements and looked away after a moment.
She didn't care how much money he gave her. This Miss Jiang was really... casual with money...
"Sister, are we going to the mountains to pick herbs today?"
Jiang Li carried a backpack and looked at Jiang Wan curiously.
They hadn't finished weaving the backpack yesterday, but when they woke up early this morning, they saw it had been placed safely at the door of their main room.
It goes without saying that it was Jiang Zexing who did it, but he just didn't tell them.
"Well, my mother is weak. We need to find some good things to exchange for money, and then take her to the town to see a doctor."
Uncle Lin had said before that he couldn’t cure some of Su Yun’s physical problems, so he could only go to the town for treatment. However, they were short of money and had no money at all, so they had to find a solution themselves.
After hearing this, Jiang Li no longer had any questions. He directly put on the backpack and followed Jiang Wan.
There are only a few herbs on the outskirts of the mountain. Although they are not that valuable, a little bit adds up to a lot. If you pick more, you can get more money.
"A-Li, you stay here. I'll go over there and look for other herbs."
"Okay, sister, be careful. Call me if anything happens."
Jiang Li responded.
Jiang Wan nodded, pushed aside the grass in front of her and walked inside.
The weeds on the mountain are still quite dense, but they are all a little dry and yellow. When you step on the ground, there is not much mud on your feet. It may be because few people come here.
Whenever Jiang Wan saw any familiar herbs, no matter what they were, she dug them all out and put them in the backpack behind her to sort them later.
There were quite a few small thistles on the ground, but they were covered with thorns. When Jiang Wan was digging them up, she accidentally got pricked on the back of her hand, leaving a thin mark.
She didn't care and lowered her head to look for herbs on the ground.
"Sister——"
"Sister, come here quickly——"
After digging a small piece of herbs and taking a few steps, Jiang Wan heard Jiang Li's anxious call. She raised her leg and quickly walked towards that direction.
"Ali, what's wrong?"
"Sister, look quickly, isn't that Sister Xiaoyun?"
Jiang Li was standing about ten meters away from her, pointing at the foot of the mountain.
That spot is right in the middle of the tree. If you push aside the bushes, you can see what's happening down the mountain through the gap.
Although they were on the mountain, it was only a few dozen meters away from their location.
Jiang Wan looked up and saw a group of people at the foot of the mountain. The man in the lead had his chest bare, revealing his dirty neck. His robe was very tattered, and the hem was of uneven length.
With a flirtatious smile on his face, he was leading a group of people to close in on a woman.
Looking closely, it was Zhang Xiaoyun.
Jiang Wan's expression changed drastically, and Jiang Li also became a little nervous.
He knew that Zhang Xiaoyun was very close to his elder sister and they were good friends.
Jiang Wan didn't answer. She looked up at the distance, then turned around, picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in her hand, and then, with force, threw it at the group of people.
'Bang--'
It hit the little thug right in the head.
"Who? Who dares to throw a stone at me? Get out here!"
The leading thug suddenly jumped up from where he was standing, while the thugs behind him shrank back and didn't say a word.
"Are you all dumb? You're a bunch of losers!"
Hearing their movement, Jiang Wan pulled Jiang Li down quickly to avoid being discovered by them, then reached out and pinched her throat to change her voice.
"Village chief, there's someone causing trouble up ahead!"
"Hurry over there! They might have stolen what I lost!"
Hearing this, the leading thug's expression changed drastically, "Damn it! There's actually someone here!"
After saying this, the gangsters looked at each other, and quickly fled from the spot.
Seeing them leave, Jiang Wan finally emerged, hurried down the mountain, ran to Zhang Xiaoyun, and reached out to pull her, "Xiaoyun, are you okay?"
Zhang Xiaoyun was already frightened by the group of people. He was suddenly pulled to the corner where he was. He was startled and only raised his head in panic when he heard Jiang Wan's voice.
"Wanwan, why are you here?"
Her face was pale and she looked at Jiang Wan with a trembling voice.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go first-"
Jiang Wan glanced around. She wondered if the gang would come back. They had to leave as soon as possible. If they came back...
"Where are you going?"
Before they left, a familiar voice came from behind. Zhang Xiaoyun shuddered with fear. Jiang Wan reached out and hugged her. "I knew it. Someone must be playing tricks! It turned out to be you, a little bitch!"
