Chapter 32 Wine Business
Jiang Jing lay flat on his back, glancing sideways at the person who leaned over.
His tone was dull and his mood was low. "Men and women are different. You also have a husband. In my heart, you are different from others. I like you a little, but I can't like you. So every time I see you, I'm afraid that others will see it and it will affect you."
The sound of rain was crisp, and my heart, which had been numb for a long time, was moistened. It was the first time that a man confessed to me. He was good-looking and not greasy.
That kind of hidden love seemed to break through everything.
"But I'm still engaged."
Even if she has no feelings for Chen Zhao, it would be wrong to agree to it. It would not be good for her or Jiang Jing. Everything must be legitimate.
Jiang Jing closed his eyes and said, "Yeah."
"We'll talk about this matter after I divorce Chen Zhaohe." Jiusu turned over, pretended to take out a thin blanket from her bag and threw it on the man.
Jiang Jing suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the thing in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
She's like a treasure chest, with everything in it.
'Let's talk about this again'.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he responded, "Okay, let's talk about it later. Miss Jiu, take a rest first. I'll teach you how to get up tomorrow when the rain stops."
Jiusu closed her eyes, and what had just happened flashed before her eyes. The words of the boatmen were obviously directed at her.
If you count carefully, you will find that there are very few people you know in ancient times, but you will offend quite a lot of people.
The Chen family hated her, but Chen Wu and Sun Mei didn't have the courage or the money to hire someone to kill her. What's more, their desire to gain benefits from her was greater than their desire to kill her, right?
"Who else?"
Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Shopkeeper Qi, it is most likely them. After we go back, we will collect evidence, earn enough money, and then report to the authorities.
Relying on the relationship between Manager Qi and the county magistrate.
In the worst case, you can stay in there for a few days and then be released.
…
Sleep until you wake up naturally.
Jiusu worshipped the God of Wealth.
[Congratulations to the host for passing the 'Worship the God of Wealth' and receiving 10 umbrellas, 10 raincoats, and 2 cold prevention medicines. They have been added to the inventory.]
Thank God of Wealth for saving her in this heavy rain.
She sat up. The fire was out and the rain was still falling outside, but Jiang Jing was gone.
She walked to the door and saw a figure outside. She was alert and hid behind the door, looking through the gap to see the figure clearly.
"Jiang Jing!"
Jiusu immediately opened her umbrella and ran out to catch the rain. The wind and rain were so strong that the umbrella kept shaking and her body was unstable.
Jiang Jing frowned, and without caring about anything else, he took the umbrella, hugged the woman in his arms, and used his tall body to shield her from the rain.
"Why did you come out?"
"Uh." Jiusu didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just not pick someone up when he had an umbrella, could he? Perhaps out of politeness, he asked, "Where have you been?"
After entering the dilapidated temple, Jiang Jing was soaked all over.
"I went to ask for directions, and by accident, we ended up in Gan County. If we kept going east, we would have reached the county seat."
"Take off your clothes and dry them before you go." Jiusu suggested. She stood beside him, blinking her eyes, waiting for him to take off his wet clothes and help dry them.
Jiang Jing: “…Okay.”
Why didn't she turn around and hide?
Forget it, there is no need to be particular when you are out. He took off his outer clothes, and his inner clothes were pulled to reveal his strong chest. Seeing Jiusu reaching out to take the clothes, he moved to the side.
"I can do it myself."
He has hands and feet, so how could he let a little girl do the work?
The fire was rekindled and it was much warmer.
The two of them had a simple meal, and Jiusu took out the cold medicine and rain gear. The cold medicine had already been prepared, and the God of Wealth was so kind that he unscrewed the lid and handed it to them.
"Jiang Jing, cheers."
"Hmm?" Jiang Jing smelled it lightly. It turned out to be medicine. His eyes fell on the woman's bright smile, and his heart was filled with ripples. Taking medicine is always painful. He had seen people cry, but this was the first time he saw someone laugh. He raised his hand and clinked bags with hers. "Cheers."
Jiusu frowned, "Hmm, bitter."
Wearing a raincoat, Jiang Jing left the dilapidated temple alone with an umbrella. He touched the material and couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had never seen such a thing even in Shengjing.
The waterproofing is so amazing.
"Where did you buy this?"
"It's inherited from my ancestors, I won't sell it."
The two chatted casually and took an ox cart on the way. They arrived at the county town in half an hour. They planned to rest for a while and continue their journey in the afternoon.
Jiusu took out the wine hidden in the system. A few days ago, she discovered a secret. For example, it takes twenty days for wine to ferment in the summer, but if it is placed in the system, the fermentation time will be accelerated, almost ten times faster.
Of course, once it becomes wine, it doesn't deteriorate faster.
She put it in a glass bottle. People usually drink wine in a goblet. Glass is not common here, so she can sell it at a high price first, and then sell it at a discount when the glassmaking technology matures.
Du Mansion.
The housekeeper saw that it was Mr. Qian's letter of introduction and did not dare to neglect it. "Please move to the front hall. I will report to the master."
Du Yuan and Mr. Qian haven't seen each other for more than half a year.
The sudden arrival of two people was indeed quite unexpected. He approached with curiosity and clasped his fists: "So it's you two young friends. Brother Qian has already explained the purpose of your visit in the letter. I guess this is Miss Jiu?"
"Master Du has good eyesight." Jiusu looked at him, and after seeing him sit down, he slowly sat down to the side. "It is an honor for this junior to meet you."
Jiang Jing: “…”
There are only two people, a man and a woman. If it’s not Jiusu, it can’t be her, right?
He sat quietly aside. This was not his home ground, so he only needed to lead the way and provide protection.
Du Yuan smiled and said, "You are quite good at talking. I have done business with countless people, but you are the first woman to do so. Miss Jiu is very courageous, and I am willing to give it a try. However, I don't know what kind of wine you would like to cooperate with me on, as there are so many fine wines in the world."
All the wines in the world have great color, aroma and taste.
It's like a gorgeous dish, with all kinds of ingredients gathered together, but there is always a main ingredient. The main dish now is the "Zhuangyuan Wine". It tastes good and has a good meaning. The nobles in Shengjing like it very much, but this is just a small place. He can't get the Zhuangyuan Wine, so he can only buy it from other wine merchants at a high price and then sell it.
What's more, the transportation here is inconvenient, and no famous liquor has ever been seen coming out of their Lingcheng.
Jiusu untied the bag and took out a palm-sized wooden barrel and a goblet. She had spent a huge amount of money to exchange it from the system. After all, it was more elegant. She poured it into the cup, and the red and purple color flowed in. "Please taste it, Master Du."
"What kind of wine is this? It's purple."
"wine."
Grapes? Du Yuan had traveled extensively, but he knew this thing best. It was something from another country and was extremely rare.
He took a sip and savored it carefully.
"Rich and delicious! This one sip could fill up a whole room."
Jiusu took out another bucket and poured it into a cup casually.
"Try this again."
Du Yuan took it. It was still purple. Could it be that this was different? He took a sip and immediately understood, "So that's it! There's no wine in it. It's more like a natural grape flavor."
Jiusu gave a thumbs up, with a smile in his eyes.
"Boss Du is really amazing. This is grape juice. There is no alcohol in it. Adults and children can drink it. The main thing is that it is mellow. When families get together, we always have to drink, but we can't drink too much. Children are also greedy. Grape juice just solves this problem.
In addition, there will not only be grape juice, but also drinks made from various fruits.”
