Chapter 51: Selling Wine

Looking at the wine he had produced,

Cheng Feng still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

During the testing period, Cheng Feng paused his daytime activities; after all, it concerned his future.

He was already very tired during the day, and under normal circumstances, Cheng Feng would be fast asleep.

He would occasionally tinker with Fortune Points when resting at night.

On the night after the brewing was successful, Cheng Feng drank the new wine, and emboldened by the alcohol,

he came to Room Two to get intimate with Chen Min.

Chen Min was wearing the clothing she had made herself.

To cater to Cheng Feng's tastes, Chen Min had raised the slit of her skirt even higher.

It perfectly displayed her curves.

It made Cheng Feng's index finger twitch with desire.

Yet Cheng Feng always felt something was missing.

Cheng Feng longed for black silk and white silk stockings.

Unfortunately, he currently lacked the ability to produce them.

A clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

And this sexy beauty, Chen Min, with her pretty face, curvaceous figure, and long legs, was showing off her charm to him alone.

It made Cheng Feng forget his worries and immerse himself in a land of gentleness.

He secretly vowed in his heart to provide security for his women.

Children were the emotional bond between the two.

Cheng Feng had once promised that if she bore him a child, her status would be that of a Concubine.

As long as everyone maintained peace in the inner residence,

Cheng Feng could guarantee his women would have no worries about food or clothing.

Chen Min had a tortuous history and had brought Chen Zhu with her; after being bought by Cheng Feng,

she was also served with great care, but seeing that she had yet to conceive Cheng Feng's seed,

Chen Min was also slightly anxious inside.

Now, the women in Room One were all pregnant.

Cai'er, as the First Wife, had even communicated with Chen Min in private,

asking if they needed to buy some medicine to nourish the body of the woman in Room Two.

She understood her own man best.

They had even discussed plans for establishing a family in private before.

Cai'er did not know many characters.

Cheng Feng taught her to read and write.

When Cai'er became pregnant, he bought several women to serve her.

Cheng Feng even handed the affairs of the inner residence over to Cai'er.

After drinking the sugar water offered by the sisters who entered the house later, she became the First Wife.

Cheng Feng's actions, one by one,

how could Cai'er, as an Ordinary woman, not feel them?

One could see the nature of her man just by looking at how the three women in Room One were all pregnant.

The family goal Cheng Feng had told Cai'er about back then should have remained unchanged.

But it had been almost a month since the New Year.

There was still no news from Chen Min's belly, which really worried Cai'er.

Lian Niang was the last to enter the house, so it was fine; she could afford not to be anxious for the time being.

Chen Min had brought a child with her when she entered the house.

If she did not put in her best effort in this regard,

Cai'er did indeed have the intention to give her a reminder.

Listening to Sister Cai'er's words,

Chen Min felt waves of anxiety in her heart.

Cheng Feng had handed all the matters of the house over to Cai'er.

Now that the First Wife had spoken, and considering she had not entered Cheng Feng's house as a virgin,

Chen Min knew that if her belly did not show some promise, she might face exclusion in the future.

It didn't matter if the women excluded her.

But it would not do if it affected her daughter.

The worldly-wise Chen Min went to see the newly arrived Lian Niang.

She offloaded the pressure given by Cai'er onto Lian Niang.

She even embellished the situation between Room One and Room Two.

Not wanting to be abandoned again, Lian Niang boarded Chen Min's pirate ship.

After finishing with Chen Min,

Cheng Feng was preparing to hold Chen Min and go to sleep.

Yet Chen Min, with eyes as alluring as silk, pushed Cheng Feng to go take a look next door,

saying there was a surprise prepared for Cheng Feng there.

Lian Niang, who had been waiting bitterly for a long time next door, finally waited for Cheng Feng.

Following Cheng Feng's preferences, she put on the high-slit Cheongsam that Cheng Feng loved.

Lian Niang's figure was just right.

Wearing the high-slit Cheongsam designed by Chen Min gave Cheng Feng a sense of novelty.

Cheng Feng happily pulled the beauty before him into his arms.

Lian Niang was still relatively conservative at times.

She was also quite shy about that matter and could not let go.

Looking at the smiling beauty in his arms.

Cheng Feng knew in his heart that this was likely Chen Min's idea; he really didn't know how Chen Min had persuaded Lian Niang.

Not intending to reject the other party's good intentions, he enjoyed it blissfully.

With the beauty beside him bowing to serve and actively showing favor, what else could he say?

Thinking again of the wine he had finished making today.

It was as if he saw piles of silver beckoning to him.

That night, Cheng Feng washed away his fatigue and performed beyond his usual level.

His hard work had not been in vain.

And on the Panmian, Cheng Feng's Fortune Point had increased six times.

Basic Blade Technique had reached Entry 42/100.

That was nearly half of the total experience.

Cheng Feng felt he had gained a great deal.

He spent this wonderful night.

The next day, rubbing his waist.

Carrying the Chunxiao Wine he had distilled.

Cheng Feng went to the Hu Family Winery with somewhat unsteady steps.

Looking at the two jin of wine Cheng Feng brought.

The Shopkeeper of the Hu family smelled it, then fetched a small cup to taste it.

A fleeting look of enjoyment appeared on his face, but it was still seen by Cheng Feng.

The Shopkeeper asked Cheng Feng calmly: "Brother Cheng Feng, are you looking to sell this wine?"

Cheng Feng nodded and said: "Naturally, my family is short of some silver, so I am prepared to take out a portion of the wine I previously treasured to sell, in order to resolve an urgent need. What does the Shopkeeper think?"

The Shopkeeper of the Hu family was actually quite decent.

"Let's be plain, your wine is not bad, but I don't care for just two jin of good wine. If you can sell the brewing recipe, then in terms of price, I definitely won't let you suffer a loss."

Hearing the Shopkeeper bluntly ask to buy the wine recipe.

Cheng Feng smiled; could he really hand over the method for distilled wine to you?

Wouldn't you be making a huge profit then?

The Shopkeeper of the Hu family was calculating too loudly.

Cheng Feng had no intention to continue the conversation.

He cupped his hands and said: "Since the Shopkeeper is unwilling to buy, then I will go look elsewhere."

The Shopkeeper didn't speak either; two jin of wine was indeed not worth making a move for.

But watching Cheng Feng about to take this mellow wine away.

The Shopkeeper was still a bit reluctant.

How could someone who runs a winery not love wine?

The Shopkeeper also wanted to have a good wine recipe for himself.

If Cheng Feng was unwilling, they could still talk slowly.

Just as Cheng Feng was preparing to leave with the wine.

The Shopkeeper spoke up: "Wait, for the sake of good wine, I will buy the loose wine too, but two jin of good wine is worth at most five large coins; at most, it's just for me to have a taste."

Cheng Feng turned back with an expressionless face and said: "One tael."

The Shopkeeper probed with a higher offer: "Eight large coins."

Cheng Feng still insisted on one tael.

The Shopkeeper insisted on eight large coins.

In the helpless stalemate.

Cheng Feng turned his head to leave.

The Shopkeeper hurriedly said helplessly: "Alright, one tael it is."

Cheng Feng looked at the helpless boss and mocked him inwardly.

Do you really think I haven't asked about the price of good wine?

Some wineries even use good wine to blend into even better-tasting wine.

I don't care how you use it.

But for you to suppress the price so ruthlessly, that is truly black-hearted.

The money and goods were exchanged.

The Shopkeeper said: "If you have more of this wine, you can come to me to trade again."

Cheng Feng cupped his hands: "I just encountered some temporary difficulties. If it weren't for being unable to come up with money, I wouldn't have sold this Chunxiao Wine so cheaply."

The Shopkeeper nodded and watched Cheng Feng leave.

Turning his head, he said to a servant: "Go and investigate this person's background."

The servant nodded and ran out.

Cheng Feng, meanwhile, was calculating on the road.

Ten catties of Chunxiao Wine.

Two catties sold for one tael of silver.

Cheng Feng also prepared to use two catties to check out other wineries.

To be prepared for a rainy day.

Ever since Cheng Feng had his eyes opened by Zhang Zhuo and Li Mo at Hongyun Restaurant,

he also understood that the indulgences of the high-ranking officials and nobles of Great Zhou were what true indulgence was.

Compared to those still struggling in life,

silver, what is that?

It is not important at all.

What is important is face.

It is the dignity of the family.

After the efforts of several generations,

families that can survive all have their own ways of making money.

Earning silver is no longer a difficulty.

In this county, they have almost formed a monopoly.

Cheng Feng certainly understands how lucrative a monopoly business is.

As long as those great families do not court death themselves,

then they have grasped a hen that lays eggs endlessly.

Wine at one tael of silver,

really does not count for much.

Cheng Feng's bottom line in his heart was to sell it for one tael.

Yet he did not know the Shopkeeper was also secretly rejoicing: "I've made a profit, I've made a profit! To sell such a mellow, fine wine for only one tael—they really don't know what a good thing is!"

The two people each harbored their own thoughts, both exclaiming that they had profited from the wine sale.

Seeing that his wine could really be sold,

Cheng Feng gradually gained confidence.

But he would not sell only to this one Hu Family Winery.

He still had to go and take a look elsewhere.

Turning his head, he cast a glance from the corner of his eye.

The crowd surged, and Cheng Feng flowed into the sea of people.
