Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan lowered her head and did not speak.
The family didn't notice much difference in the wine, but that was because the cultivation technique was actually incredibly powerful.
Seeing this, Huang Lao Er understood and asked with slight excitement, "Mother, are we going to be rich?"
"Get rich my ass?" Boss Huang slapped his forehead hard. "Our family is in trouble!"
"Is there going to be trouble?" Huang Lao Er turned his head. "Mother, is what my elder brother said true?"
"It's not exactly trouble," Jiang Nuan shook her head, "It's actually a good thing!"
“Mother,” Huang Xiaosan said, puzzled, “didn’t you say that our family couldn’t do the brewing business?”
“I did say that,” Jiang Nuan explained, “but things are different now. Our family doesn’t brew wine; we just have some methods for making medicinal wine.”
“Mother,” Xie said worriedly, “according to Uncle Han, our family’s wine is incredibly good. Could someone be plotting something?”
“Well,” Jiang Nuan cleared her throat and said, “let’s not make it too fancy.”
It's only slightly more expensive than other health-preserving wines on the market, so it won't attract attention and can still make money—a win-win situation.
How wonderful!
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
"Mother," Huang Lao Er finally spoke after a long pause, "aren't we lying to each other?"
What's the difference between this and selling counterfeit alcohol?
“Of course,” Jiang Nuan said, turning her face away uncomfortably. “Our wine is absolutely pure and pure, without a single drop of water added.”
"Ah," Huang Lao Er was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Nuan's words. After realizing what was happening, he took a step back in fear, covered his mouth and said, "Oh no, I actually blurted out what was on my mind."
She squinted and glanced around furtively; everyone was staring at her with murderous intent. "Wife~"
"Calling me won't do any good," Xie said, waving her hand dismissively. "Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?"
How can the wine we sell be as good as counterfeit wine?
It's just a tiny bit overpriced, really, only a tiny bit.
“That’s right,” Huang said, though he felt his younger brother was right, his face was full of indignation. “If you say that again, I’ll only give you fake alcohol from now on.”
This younger brother is hopeless; he has no idea what he can and cannot say.
Even if you think that way, you can't say it out loud!
Idiot!
"Mother," Huang Xiaosan ignored all of this and asked the question that had been bothering him, "Is the price the same for slightly inferior wine?"
“Yes,” Jiang Nuan nodded, “We have no reason to push the money away.”
"What?"
As soon as Jiang Nuan said this, everyone in the hall focused their attention on her.
"Mother," Xie asked cautiously, "Wouldn't this be inappropriate?"
“Exactly,” Huang Lao Er immediately chimed in, “Won’t we be punished by heaven?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about? We haven't done anything illegal or criminal, how could we be punished by heaven!"
She was truly impressed!
Although the price is indeed a bit high, our own wine is definitely worth the price.
Even if she halved the time, the wine she made would still be nourishing enough, it would just be slower to take effect.
"Mother," Huang the eldest asked seriously, his face serious, "Are you really going to do this? Won't there be trouble? Will Brother Han Yi have any objections?"
"There must be some objections," Huang Xiaosan clicked his tongue. "Isn't it different if he buys good wine and mixes it himself?"
Wouldn't it be better to add some liquor from the market and mix it however you like?
Why spend a lot of money to buy inferior wine?
Is he out of his mind or is he deliberately taking care of his own family?
“Of course they’re different,” Jiang Nuan said, somewhat speechless. “How could the one he made himself be the same as the one I made?”
"What's the difference?" Huang Lao Er asked, puzzled. "We also buy liquor from outside to make our own."
"This is Mother's secret method. You are not wise enough to know its depth."
The crowd didn't quite believe this, but after thinking about the cultivation techniques they practiced, they all fell silent.
They had long realized that their mother was not as simple as she seemed, but she seemed unwilling to let her family investigate further.
Because of this, even if something is found to be wrong, they pretend they know nothing about it.
In the end, Mother won't harm anyone, and that's enough.
"Mother," Huang Xiaosan finally spoke after a long silence, "Isn't it true that the better the wine, the more points it sells?"
"That's true in general, but too much of a good thing can be bad."
If this wine is to fetch a good price, it can only be taken to the capital, but the capital is full of high-ranking officials and nobles, and many people are envious and want a share of the pie.
Even the best wine is useless if it can't be preserved; how could Han Yi not be aware of the risks involved?
"That's a real pity," Huang Xiaosan said with a regretful look. "Even the second-best quality wine costs ten thousand taels a jar. How much would it cost for everyday drinking wine?"
No wonder, ever since Grandpa and Grandpa found out the price, they haven't been able to drink a single drop of wine.
This isn't wine, it's clearly piles of silver.
"Don't overthink it. Only the wine that's sold is valuable. The wine we drink ourselves isn't that expensive."
It was just bought from the market, with some pear and peach blossoms added, and left in the space for a while.
Compared to profits, costs are pitifully low.
She even doubted that there was such a highly profitable industry in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
"I don't care," Huang Xiaosan said with a dreamy look, "Mom, our family is really going to be rich this time!"
He had the same misconception last time, thinking that with Uncle Han as a sucker, his family would soon become extremely wealthy.
As a result, before even selling two jars, my mother refused to accept any more money, shattering my dream of getting rich quick. I felt regretful for a long time afterward.
Unexpectedly, I saw hope again today; it's truly a case of light at the end of the tunnel!
“Let’s put this aside for now,” Jiang Nuan had calmed down by now, “Let’s discuss the arrangements for the tutor…”
The Huang family was secretly delighted, but the old house next door was not so harmonious.
After returning home, Sister-in-law Huang quickly searched the house thoroughly. Relieved to find her son composting fertilizer in the backyard, she then tentatively inquired…
"Dashan, we need your help with something at home these next few days, so don't go out!"
"Something happened at home?" Huang Shan stopped what he was doing. "What is it? I haven't heard about it before."
"Why worry about so much? Just don't go out!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Shan did not refute, but his face fell.
He nodded blankly and continued working without saying a word.
My son is clearly throwing a tantrum.
Sister-in-law Huang immediately became alert. "You don't really want to go out, do you?"
"Something has come up, I have to go out."
"What is it? To pick up Madam Qin?"
"More or less. I'll tell you the details when I get back, Mother. I don't know the specifics right now either."
Hearing this, Sister-in-law Huang wanted to tell her son not to go, but she felt that it would be useless to say anything and would only alert the enemy.
She returned to the hall in silence and complained to the old lady sitting in the main seat, "Mother, your daughter-in-law doesn't want Qin Shi to come back. She's a troublemaker."
"What happened?" Old Mrs. Huang asked suspiciously. "What kind of trouble has Qin caused this time?"
It was perfectly fine just a moment ago!
"While you were sleeping, the entire Qin family came to our house, ate only one meal, and then left."
