Chapter 687 The Gate of the Ghost Town Opens
Finally, Old Man Yin said helplessly: "Girl, my name is Yin Jiu."
Su Nuan tilted her head and asked, "Drinking? That's an interesting name."
Yin Jiu was not angry either. He grabbed Su Nuan's hand and walked to their goods. "Sit down, let's talk."
After saying that, his eyes turned cold and he glanced at Ling Yun and the others, "You guys stay away and don't disturb me chatting with my niece."
Ling Yun and Ling Cang took a few steps back, not because they were afraid of him, but because they knew that Yin Jiu would not hurt Su Nuan, and Su Nuan had her own little thoughts.
This is the tacit understanding they developed after getting along with each other.
Bai Tong didn't understand and thought Ling Cang and the others were afraid of Yin Jiu. He looked at Su Nuan with malice and complacency.
Su Nuan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She was just a small fry and not worth her attention.
Yin Jiu looked at Su Nuan, his eyes so gentle that water could drip out of them.
"Girl, our Yin family has a history of brewing wine for eight hundred years, and not everyone can use the name of Yin Wine."
"This name was passed down to me by the previous head of the family. My successor will change it to Yin Jiu's name after he takes office."
"Do you understand what I mean? This means that after I step down as the head of the family, I will be called Old Master instead of Yin Jiu."
Su Nuan nodded. "I understand, but you seem to be very long-lived, so your elders should also be very long-lived. If there are many old men, how can we distinguish them?"
Yin Jiu was stunned. Su Nuan said that he was long-lived, which sounded really pleasing to him.
He laughed heartily, "Haha... girl, you speak so sweetly. Actually, it's easy to tell them apart. My previous head of the family is still alive, and we call him Old Master."
"If his previous head of the family were still alive, we would call him Grandpa Zeng."
Su Nuan suddenly realized, "I understand, this is what great-grandfather meant."
Yin Jiu nodded, "That's right, it's just about rank up the generations... Let's not talk about that, let's talk about this wine."
"How did you brew it? It smells like glutinous rice wine, but the flavor is so sweet that it makes the one I brew at home far better than anything else."
Su Nuan whispered, "This is a secret, but it's okay to tell you."
"The base of this wine is glutinous rice wine, but ten kilograms can only produce one kilogram of this wine."
"It's fine for drinking it yourself, but if you sell it, the cost plus labor would have to be twenty times higher to break even."
Yin Jiu's eyes flashed. He picked up the bottle, quickly pulled out the cork, took a sip, and then closed it again.
He smacked his lips and said, "It's worth it. A pound of this wine can be sold for two hundred times the price of glutinous rice wine."
Su Nuan looked at him in surprise and asked with her mouth: "Two hundred times?"
Yin Jiu nodded, "That's right, believe me. By the way, do you have the fruit wine you mentioned?"
Su Nuan nodded and took out a few palm-sized bottles from her backpack. "This is what I brewed using various fruits."
“Because there aren’t many fruits and not much sugar, the taste isn’t very good, but the aroma is good.”
Yin Jiu tasted them one by one and nodded, "Well, these are a bit crude, but if brewed well, they can be good."
"Besides, this wine is suitable for women to drink. It can be sold at a high price, and is no worse than glutinous rice wine."
Su Nuan laughed in her heart. This was not the wine she usually drank. It was mixed with water and vinegar, so the taste was very different.
But it is precisely such flawed things that can attract the old fox Yin Jiu even more.
Sure enough, Yin Jiu's eyes flashed, and he asked in a low voice: "Girl, can you teach me? I'll give you any amount you want."
Su Nuan shook her head. "That's just a joke I made up with my last name. Actually, Monkey is my master."
Yin Jiu asked, "Monkey wine?"
Su Nuan nodded. "Yes, I saw monkeys piling fruits in tree holes to ferment them into wine, so I followed their lead and started making fruit wine."
"I failed many times. The wine was always sour and not tasty. When I got angry, I used sugar... hehe..."
After saying that, she touched her nose embarrassedly and said, "Am I a spendthrift? Sugar is a precious commodity."
"But there will be no shortage of sugar next year. We have planted some sugarcane in the north and will plant more when the harvest is good. Sooner or later, everyone will be able to afford sugar."
Yin Jiu asked in surprise: "You can also farm?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I am in charge of growing the grain in the north. We harvested it early this year because of an insect plague."
"Next year, as long as the weather isn't too bad, we'll have a good harvest in the north and can brew more wine."
Yin Jiu's eyes flickered again, and he deliberately said, "I've heard that you guys in the North have just started building cities, right?"
"Those of you who are short of food and clothing should save the food you have instead of using it to make wine."
"How about this? You teach me, and my Yin family will brew wine using your method. I'll give you 20%... 30% of the money I sell."
Su Nuan didn't expect him to be so generous. She originally thought that 10% of the profit would be good enough.
She pointed at Ling Cang and said, "He is the Lord of the Northern Land. Talk to him."
Yin Jiu asked in confusion, "Didn't you two get divorced? Don't you want to make some money for yourself?"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I have a lot of private money, enough to spend, and he and I broke up peacefully, there is no grudge between us."
"My mother-in-law and grandmother treat me like their own children, so whether we get a divorce or not doesn't affect our relationship."
Yin Jiu looked at Su Nuan with some distress, "Your child...it would be so nice if you were my child."
Su Nuan glanced at him sideways, "No, I don't want to find a man who reeks of alcohol."
Yin Jiu chuckled. He knew that Su Nuan had agreed to cooperate, and he happily tore off the lotus leaves on the lotus leaf chicken.
The refreshing fragrance spread out immediately, attracting the attention of people around.
Yin Jiu quickly broke off a chicken leg and handed it to Su Nuan, "Here, the rest are mine."
Su Nuan reached out to take it and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Seeing that Su Nuan did not despise him and was a free and easy child, Yin Jiu liked her even more.
The two chatted for a while, and the sun had completely set.
Green flames burned on the high walls of the ghost town, illuminating the city below.
Su Nuan narrowed her eyes. That was not a real flame, but a flame lamp.
It is surprising that this ghost town is actually a high-tech city with electricity.
Yin Jiu said, "The ghost fire has been lit. The city gate will open in a quarter of an hour. Let's go and line up."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
Yin Jiu asked again: "Do you have ID cards?"
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "Don't we have to pay a city entrance fee to enter the city? Why do we need an ID card?"
Yin Jiu smiled and said, "By the way, this is your first time here. Follow me and I'll take you in. Don't worry about the others."
"I'll take you to get an ID card first. From now on, you can use the ID card to enter any door."
"As for the high-level ID card, that depends on your luck. If you can get it, you can enter the city at any time."
Su Nuan nodded without asking any more questions.
There are a lot of identity cards in my space, and I can get whatever I want.
But she still wanted an ID card of her own.
