She felt very superior and thought it would be okay to tell Yun Yuan since she couldn't make it anyway, so she said, "Milk tea is milk and tea mixed together, and bread is flour and eggs baked together. It's delicious."
"Milk tea sounds simple." Yun Yuan said confidently, "I can definitely make it."
Yan Xiaoman was disdainful, believing that Yun Yuan didn't know how to remove the fishy smell of milk and couldn't make good milk tea, so she couldn't wait to drive her away.
"Look, I've already told you the secret to making money. Can you please stop bothering me now?"
Yun Yuan snorted, "Since you told me two secrets to making money, I can leave you alone for now, but the blood feud between us still exists. Don't even think about letting me let you go."
Yan Xiaoman was very impatient. "Go quickly! Don't blame me for not reminding you. My grape jam will be ready soon. By then, I will make all the money and you won't make any money."
Yun Yuan's eyes flashed with anxiety: "Just wait, I will definitely surpass you."
Intent on making the other party lose all his money, Yan Xiaoman said maliciously: "Remember, the grape jam made according to my method is sour. You must add more sugar. Only then will the jam taste good and many people will buy it."
Yun Yuan thought to herself, only wine that is not well made is sour. Adding too much sugar is too obvious an intention to cheat people. If she really sells it, won’t she be scolded to death?
But she still nodded, as if she had heard it.
"I'll definitely add more sugar. The grape jam I make will definitely be more popular than yours."
She went down the ladder and looked at the grapes harvested this morning. It was too slow for Ji Huai to do it alone, so she wondered whether she should buy a few servants and maids.
When Ji Huai comes back, Yun Yuan discusses this matter with him.
Ji Huai secretly didn't want anyone to disturb his time with Yun Yuan. Although there seemed to be a lot of wild grapes, he could handle it all by himself, so he said:
"I can do it on my own. If I can really make the wine, I can consider hiring someone later."
Yun Yuan thought it made sense. She knew that the wine could definitely be made, but Ji Huai didn't know, so there was nothing wrong with being cautious.
Besides, it was Ji Huai who was tired, not her.
He nodded, then pointed at the wild grapes all over the yard and gave him an order rudely.
"Tonight, crush the dried grapes, making sure not to damage the seeds. Then, tomorrow, go buy some rock sugar. Mix five pounds of grapes with one pound of sugar, then place them in a jar and cover the top with gauze. Cover several times."
Seeing her explain so much, Ji Huai couldn't help but be surprised: "Did Yan Xiaoman also tell you this?"
"No." Yun Yuan said, "Yan Xiaoman told me that she was making jam, and it turned out sour, so she needed to add more sugar. The idea of using five kilograms of grapes and one kilogram of sugar was my own idea. Just do as I said."
Ji Huai frowned. He was very sure that Yan Xiaoman was not making grape jam. She must have ulterior motives for saying this, so he reminded her:
"Yan Xiaoman's words are not credible. After all, her family could embezzle even two taels of silver. How could they easily tell us how to make money? Not to mention that you are celebrating a festival."
"I know this too well," Yun Yuan said angrily, hands on her hips. "She can't stand seeing me succeed, so I'm going to show her how to do it and make her jump with rage!"
Ji Huai's gaze involuntarily fell on Yun Yuan's slender waist, which could be held in one hand, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Never mind, I will support her in whatever she wants to do. She doesn’t want the stars in the sky, she just wants to try making wine.
Ji Huai knew that Yun Yuan didn't like being contradicted and she liked obedient people, so he didn't say anything else.
He didn't sleep all night, crushing the wild grapes one by one, and sorting the grapes harvested that day. The next morning, he went out and bought several hundred kilograms of sugar.
Yun Yuan was surprised to see the bags of sugar, "You bought so much sugar?" Sugar in this dimension is a precious item for ordinary people, not everyone can afford it.
Ji Huai didn't take this little money seriously and said, "This sugar isn't much. Based on the grapes we harvest every day, it will be used up in two or three days."
"Well, just keep it in mind." Yun Yuan said shamelessly, "Let me make it clear first. When your money is gone, I won't have any money to give you."
"I have money." Ji Huai said, "You don't need to pay."
"That's fine." Yun Yuan ran away, as if she was afraid that he would ask for money.
Ji Huai shook his head helplessly, and deftly mixed the grapes according to the proportions and put them into the jar and sealed it. After everything was processed, he began to screen the grapes harvested today.
After a few days, everyone in the village knew that Yun Yuan was collecting wild grapes, and the amount of grapes Yun Yuan collected every day increased.
The amount of wild grapes that Yan Xiaoman and Ergouzi picked every day was very limited.
In order to make wine, she deliberately stopped other businesses and even stopped selling her popular braised dishes. She wanted to make a fortune by selling wild grapes in the mountains, but now with Yun Yuan's interference, things developed completely differently from what she expected.
So Yan Xiaoman couldn't help it and joined the competition with Yun Yuan. She also started collecting wild grapes, also at one penny per pound.
Many people sold grapes to her because she was the wife of a scholar, but Yan Xiaoman had to grow vegetables and raise chickens, and deliver meals to Ji Shen every day, so her remaining time was very limited.
She was afraid that the wine-making method would be leaked, so she did every step herself and never delegated it to others. However, even if she worked until midnight, she could not process much. The harvested grapes would deteriorate if not processed in time. She did not want to lose money, so she had to adopt a limited purchase strategy.
This action immediately offended some people. They didn't care why Yan Xiaoman limited the purchase, they only knew that she accepted other people's purchases but not her own.
