Chapter 324
Jin Chaochao returned home and found several wine-making secret books from the pile of ancient books collected by the old fox. These were ancient recipes that had been lost.
The one that she values most is a recipe for making wine from coarse grains.
"Miss, the formula of this grain wine is now very mature. It seems that there is no market for our further research and development." Yan's mother immediately guessed Jin Chaochao's intention.
Jin Chaochao looked up from the ancient book and said, "Spring comes when a hundred flowers bloom. There must be a reason why this ancient recipe was collected by the royal family. If we can copy it, it can be regarded as recovering the lost craft. Then there will be more varieties and choices of fermented rice wine on the market."
"Besides, the ingredients used in this grain wine are relatively common, and it can be mass-produced, which is more suitable for business." Jin Chaochao said in a gentle tone: "If it is well developed, it will be a good industry. There is a mountain outside our Xuanmen called Tiger Mountain. There is a mountain spring water on the mountain, which has not been cut off for hundreds of years. I noticed it when I was a child. If we can build a winery there, the wine brewed will definitely taste good."
Yan's mother was surprised and asked, "Why didn't I notice it? Isn't Tiger Mountain the opposite of the mountain where we were ambushed last time?"
"Yes, there is a stream between the two mountains. It is always foggy and the water in the stream is sweet. We just need to find a place with suitable humidity downstream to build a workshop and draw the spring water from the mountain. Of course, before that, we have to research the appropriate formula first."
Yan's mother complained, "You are busy all day long. I am worried that you are tired."
"It's okay. It's just copying and translating ancient books. It's not difficult." Jin Chaochao took the pen and copied the recipe on paper.
…
Shen Yulan took the wine given by Jin Chaochao, first stored it in a safe, and then took two bottles to send to Mr. Shen who was living in the countryside.
The old man is over ninety years old and has already turned gray.
The fish in the countryside river are plump and rich, and he often sits by the river to fish, sometimes for most of the day.
"Grandpa! I'm here to see you." Shen Yulan deliberately loosened the bottle cap a little and moved closer with the bottle in hand.
The old man had a keen nose and smelled the special aroma of wine. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed hard.
Then he stared at the wine in his granddaughter's hand and couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."
Shen Yulan took the wine glass and poured herself a glass. The rich aroma wafted away and Old Man Shen couldn't sit still anymore.
He dropped his fishing rod, came to Shen Yulan, and stared at her wine jug. "What brand of wine is this? I've never seen it before."
"That's right, you haven't seen it. Grandpa, do you want to drink?" Shen Yulan deliberately passed the wine glass across his nose.
Old Master Shen twitched his nose and swallowed his saliva greedily, "Good granddaughter, give grandpa a taste, just one bite."
Shen Yulan smiled and said, "It's not impossible to give it to you, but you have to promise me that you can only drink one cup a day."
The old man is old, and the alcohol has a strong aftereffect, so she was also concerned about his health.
Mr. Shen took a deep breath of the wine and said, "For such a fine wine, a glass a day is already a blessing. I promise you!"
Shen Yulan handed the wine to Mr. Shen.
Despite his age, his hand holding the wine glass is surprisingly steady.
He took the wine glass and sat back in the chair, but instead of drinking it in one gulp, he put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then tasted it in small sips.
"Good wine! One sip makes people feel relaxed both physically and mentally. My dear granddaughter, this wine is not cheap!" the old man sighed.
Shen Yulan said bluntly, "I'm going to auction it off at the store, starting at three million. What do you think this wine can fetch?"
Hearing this, Mr. Shen turned around and glared at her, "Granddaughter, this kind of fine wine probably doesn't have a lot of production. How much stock do you have? Do you want to use it to do business?"
"Not much!" Shen Yulan looked at the quiet river in front of her and said, "This wine has 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum added to it, so the amount is really not much. Grandpa, drink one cup a day and see the effect after a week."
Mr. Shen drank the rest in one gulp, opening his mouth wide to let the last drop in the cup drip into his mouth.
He put down his glass, picked up the bottle on the ground, and said excitedly: "You prodigal son, it's a waste to sell such good wine. I'm old, and the physical feeling is the strongest. After drinking this wine, my whole body is warm, my stomach feels good, and my breathing is smooth. If you drink one cup a day for a year, I will never have to worry about not being able to pull the rod when fishing."
Shen Yulan: “…”
"This wine was brewed by someone else. I had a hard time negotiating a cooperation agreement. If you still want it after drinking these two bottles, you'll have to go to an auction yourself. With this wine, my Chinese restaurant will be upgraded to a higher level."
Mr. Shen had to admit that his granddaughter was good at business.
It’s just a pity that such good wine is wasted. If he wants to drink it in the future, he can only buy it at an auction.

Whenever Yan Hui falls asleep, the familiar old lady will appear in his dreams.
He thought the old lady would continue to torture him, but after he admitted that he was wrong, the old lady not only stopped scaring him, but took him out to eat, drink and have fun in his dream.
Three days later.
Jin Chaochao found that Yan Hui had changed a lot, especially that he no longer looked at people with that cold gaze.
He eats his meals obediently, goes out with you when you ask him to, and reads medical books in the library at home when he has nothing to do.
Yan's mother had been watching him for three days. Seeing that he was unusually well-behaved, she was full of doubts: "Miss, this Yan Hui is too strange. He is not normal now. Is his well-behaved appearance just a disguise?"
Jin Chaochao shook her head. "It doesn't look like a disguise. Don't make wild guesses before you get the evidence."
Yan's mother shook her head and said to herself, "It's so strange, he wasn't like this before. How come his temper has improved since he came to our place?"
Jin Chaochao thought this was not unusual. "Our home has a good environment and a formation that gathers spiritual energy, nourishes the soul, and is suitable for self-cultivation."
Yan's mother looked up and asked, "Miss, that's the logic. If you say that he changed just because he lived here, do you believe this reason?"
Jin Chaochao spread her hands and said, "I don't believe it, but Yan Hui has indeed changed a lot."
Coming out of the main courtyard, Jin Chaochao came to the ancestral hall.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt that her grandmother's soul was not as solid as before.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Jin Chaochao was shocked.
The old lady floated in the air, holding the breakfast that had just been offered, and ate it with a smile on her face, "It's okay! I just used a little magic, and I'll be fine after a period of recuperation."
Jin Chaochao was very smart and reacted immediately, "Could Yan Hui's change be due to something you did?"
Grandma didn't hide anything. "In fact, I found that Yan Hui is not a bad child by nature. I saw him in his dream as a child. He was young, and although he grew up with his parents, he received very little care. He often saw his parents doing medical research and dissecting living people, which led to problems with his concepts. As long as he is guided correctly, he will definitely grow up to be a good child."
"Grandma! It's too risky for you to do this. Your soul is already weak. If it gets any weaker, your soul will be shattered. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. I can do the same thing." Jin Chaochao is most worried about her grandmother's current condition.
In her current condition, even if she were to be reincarnated, she would be a sickly person in her first life.
