She brewed some wine in the space, not much, only twenty barrels, but the alcohol content was quite high.
Perfect! Let's mix it with soda water and make sparkling wine.
Unfortunately, baking soda didn't exist in ancient times.
Lin Jinyue can only be purchased from the system store.
However, there are purchase restrictions in the system store, so Lin Jinyue cannot do business in sparkling wine or soft drinks.
But it's not bad as a condiment for birthday banquets.
Dilute it with water, add some sugar and juice, and it tastes pretty good.
Lin Jinyue remembered iced drinks and decided to make another one.
There's also braised pork intestines in chili oil.
These are all their signature dishes.
Who knew that when I submitted the names of the dishes today, the manager would nitpick and find fault again.
They even sent people to their village.
They say pig offal is unlucky, and seafood is too ordinary.
When Lin Jinyue heard the news, she wished she could immediately start researching gunpowder and blow up his whole family.
If their village weren't still not truly stable, and if their village didn't have too few people...
Lin Jinyue really wanted to flip the table.
Ji Zixuan was also troubled, but still tentatively asked, "Do you want... do you want something else? The braised prawns from last time are fine too..."
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "That thing is too much trouble, they're not qualified."
The crayfish caught now, the big ones go into their stomachs, and the small ones are used for farming.
What exactly is the Li family?
They don't deserve to eat.
Lin Jinyue was furious. Li the blacksmith and Wang the carpenter, who had come to report the situation, both said, "It's alright, we're not afraid! We've already..."
Li the blacksmith lowered his voice: "We can go find General Gu."
Lin Jinyue then asked, "How's the drawing from last time coming along?"
Besides crossbows, Lin Jinyue also designed weapons such as catapults, but they would be very troublesome to make.
Carpenter Wang said, "It's still being done, we don't have enough manpower... but we're not completely helpless. We can ask General Gu for some time, that should be enough."
Lin Jinyue remembered her pot of potatoes.
Trading potatoes for a year's worth of blessings shouldn't be a problem, right?
Lin Jinyue had seen refugees on the road lose their humanity from hunger just to get a bite to eat.
The original intention was to promote potatoes.
If we could use Gu Shao's help to gain some benefits in return, that would be the best outcome.
Feeling confident, Lin Jinyue went to the village entrance and said to the people from the Li family, "I have nothing else but this. Take it or leave it."
Cold sweat broke out on Ji Zixuan's forehead.
Ji Zixuan's heart was racing.
For a fleeting moment, he thought Lin Jinyue was really, really cool.
The servant from the Li family, with his nostrils flared, said arrogantly, "If you ruin this birthday banquet, can you take responsibility?"
Lin Jinyue sneered: "When you bought the wine, did you pay a deposit? Did you sign a contract? I heard it was just a verbal agreement, and you didn't even give a deposit. If you had signed a contract, in this situation, we could have postponed delivery for a few days."
"Also, if you feel it's inappropriate, you are free to replace the person."
After Lin Jinyue uttered those words, the servant immediately fell silent.
He couldn't bear that responsibility either.
However, even as a servant of the Li family, or even just a watchdog, he was still considered superior to others.
He was used to looking down on people.
But now, Lin Jinyue has put him in an awkward position.
The servant glared fiercely at Lin Jinyue, "That's it then. Don't blame me if you lose your head later!"
Lin Jinyue found it utterly absurd.
Why does this person sound like a eunuch the moment he opens his mouth?
Does the Li family really think they are the local tyrants of Lingnan?
That's outrageous.
Ji Zixuan hesitated and asked, "Then, should we still go? Or should we just go to the island?"
It's bound to get chaotic sooner or later anyway, so whether you go sooner or later, it's just a matter of how much you lose.
But for a wealthy family like the Ji family, even if they leave now, they still have a lot of accumulated wealth, and they can earn back what they lost in the future.
Li the blacksmith and Wang the carpenter were even angrier.
That bastard's insults towards Lin Jinyue were even more infuriating than his insults towards them.
This is their village's lucky charm!
Carpenter Wang: "We'll work day and night, it should be manageable."
Li the Blacksmith: "Actually, my family's secret skill is... making traps and hidden weapons."
Lin Jinyue thought to herself, no wonder Li the blacksmith could meet such outrageous requirements when making those small parts.
It turns out they had a family-inherited secret technique.
But Lin Jinyue shook her head.
This large plot of land of hers cost Xie Hong 100,000 taels of silver.
I'm a little reluctant to part with it.
It's not time to be forced into a corner yet.
Lin Jinyue thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. If it works out, we can live a more peaceful life for a while longer. At least we can build the house first and solve our housing problem."
The survival problem must be solved as soon as possible.
In the past few days, Ji Zixuan has not found an opportunity to repay Lin Jinyue.
Well, here comes the opportunity.
He can't make decisions about other things, but he can make decisions about the Ji family's brick kiln.
Ji Zixuan knew they were saving money to build a house, but they didn't have enough.
Lin Jinyue saved his life this time.
Ji Zixuan transported blue bricks to Linjia Village as if they were free; he would transport as many as the brick kiln produced.
Lin Jinyue didn't even notice that she and her father had gone to the Li family's house.
There was no one else.
Lin Jinyue had smoke bombs in her pocket and only brought herself and her father.
If anything goes wrong, they'll throw a smoke grenade, run away immediately, and hide inside the farm.
Too many people will only create more chaos.
The father and daughter traveled by boat to Shawan County, where they hitched a ride on someone else's large boat to reach the Li family's home.
