The two jars of wine were emptied immediately.
Despite such high praise, Xue Lin, the county magistrate, Liao Yueming, and Qin Yuan did not drink much.
Madam Xue's face was also flushed, and she looked very happy.
Xue Lin's daughter was curious, and since the alcohol content wasn't high, Ning Xi'er let her smell it and lick it.
Xue Lin feigned a frown, but his expression was one of indulgence.
Bai Zhi and the others were also drinking peach blossom wine for the first time. With Ning Xi'er's instructions, they dared to drink it, and their faces turned rosy.
Although the alcohol content wasn't high, it was still a drinking session. After finishing the bowl, I felt sleepy not long after.
The only people sitting sober at the table were Ning Xi'er, Qin Yuan, Xue Lin, the county magistrate, Liao Yueming, and Xue Lin's daughter.
Seeing that Ning Xi'er had something to say, Xue Lin asked his daughter to help his wife back to her room to rest.
Before leaving her seat, Xue Lin's daughter looked on with longing and leaned close to Ning Xi'er's arm, asking, "Sister, you're leaving, aren't you? Will we ever see each other again?"
Ning Xi'er stroked the little girl's head, her mind drifting to her older brother's two children.
She laughed and said, "A while later! It definitely will! I'll have your father bring you to see me then."
Ning Xi'er and the girl both looked at Xue Lin.
Xue Lin's eyes flickered slightly, knowing what Ning Xi'er's words meant.
Seeing her father nod, the girl happily helped her mother leave.
Xue Lin glanced at the county magistrate, then cupped his hands to Ning Xi'er, "Divine Physician, the county magistrate is one of us. If you have anything to say, you can speak freely."
Ning Xi'er got straight to the point, "Regarding this fight against the plague, the situation is settled. As for the rest, Lord Xue and the doctors in the city are more than capable of handling it."
Ning Xi'er added, "I will leave some spare medicine for Lord Xue. In the unlikely event of a one in ten thousand situation, this medicine can save his life. Lord Xue knows where to find me; he can bring his men there then..."
"It should be able to be saved."
Upon hearing this, Xue Lin praised Ning Xi'er for her thoughtfulness and meticulousness.
The county magistrate was also very impressed.
Ning Xi'er continued, "But what I'm about to say is something else of paramount importance."
"Based on the current situation, Yongning will soon be able to lift its citywide quarantine. However, many difficulties will remain after the quarantine ends..."
Xue Lin sighed softly; he naturally understood.
However, as long as he survives, he will always find a way out, so he can maintain an optimistic attitude.
However, the difficult situation is also very serious.
Ning Xi'er pointed out directly, "Those who originally went to the surrounding areas to do business or work may face discrimination from neighboring counties and other towns, making it difficult to find work for the time being..."
"With such a long period of quarantine, many households not having work for so long, and food supplies exposed to the elements and contaminated with germs being destroyed, this may lead to financial hardship..."
"There are also people who, after recovering from a serious illness, need time to fully recover, or whose underlying conditions may be triggered, leading to poverty due to illness or a decline in their ability to work, causing their families to fall back into poverty..."
With each word Ning Xier spoke, Xue Lin and the county magistrate's expressions grew more somber.
Liao Yueming also fell into thought.
Ning Xi'er stopped wasting words and directly stated her intention, "I plan to teach Mr. Liao my wine recipes—the two you just drank—free of charge..."
The conscious crowd opened their eyes wide.
Liao Yueming looked at Ning Xier carefully, knowing that the divine doctor kept his word, so he couldn't get excited.
Ning Xi'er gestured for everyone to let her finish speaking.
"Of course, it's not entirely free. I taught Mr. Liao the wine recipe without charging him a single penny, but there are equivalent conditions..."
Liao Yueming stood up and bowed solemnly to Ning Xier, "Please speak, Divine Physician. Whatever it may be, I, Liao, will not refuse!"
Having tasted both types of wine, he naturally knew about the potential business opportunity.
Once it hits the market, it will undoubtedly seize all the market share of good wines currently available in the Three Kingdoms period.
If someone is determined to drive down prices, they can even monopolize the entire market.
Even if we use all our possessions right now, or even take out debt, we can see the future returns.
Ning Xi'er smiled faintly and gestured for Liao Yueming to sit down. "Mr. Liao, rest assured, since this is a business transaction, I will naturally not let you suffer a loss."
