Chapter 48: Xu Huirong wants to brew wine; preparing to hunt

Soon.

Half a month passed.

Cai Quanwu brought an old man to the one-acre of land and introduced him to Wan Ping'an.

"Ping'an, this old gentleman is Han Dahe."

"Old Brother Han, this is Wan Ping'an, my boss."

Cai Quanwu introduced the two.

Wan Ping'an looked at Han Dahe, his brow furrowing slightly.

From the outside, Han Dahe was just an ordinary old man, but he emitted a faint chill, which made Wan Ping'an feel very puzzled.

What was this chill?

"Old Gentleman Han, may I ask what you used to do?"

Wan Ping'an was very cautious.

He was looking for someone to work, not to bring in a big trouble.

"Hi, my fault, I forgot to introduce him."

Cai Quanwu slapped his thigh.

"Ping'an, Old Brother Han used to kill Japanese invaders; he's a meritorious person who retired due to injury."

"Back then, holding a big sword, he made the enemy cry for their mothers."

"..."

Cai Quanwu talked about Han Dahe's glorious past.

"Old Cai, stop talking, that's all in the past."

"Now, I'm just an ordinary old man."

Han Dahe stopped Cai Quanwu.

Wan Ping'an felt a sense of reverence; he was an old hero. If it weren't for their bloodshed and sacrifice, there wouldn't be the good days of the peaceful era.

"Boss Wan, just treat me as an ordinary old man."

"I'm old, I can't do heavy physical labor, but I can help you raise chickens. I don't want money, just provide me with three meals a day."

Han Dahe said with a smile.

"Old Gentleman Han, welcome."

"Don't call me Boss Wan. Just like Old Cai, call me Wan Ping'an."

"Don't worry, I won't treat those who work for me unfairly."

Wan Ping'an accepted Han Dahe.

From now on, all the chicks would be Han Dahe's responsibility.

A few days later, the rice matured, golden and bright, looking like a field full of gold in the sunset.

"Really good!"

"I've never seen such good rice!"

Han Dahe sighed.

"Old Brother Han, you came late."

"If you had come earlier and seen the tomatoes Ping'an grew, you wouldn't be this shocked."

"Tomatoes at the vegetable market are three fen per jin. The tomatoes Ping'an grew, about half a jin each, cost five mao."

"Guess how they sold?"

"I'm telling you, in short supply, snatched up!"

Cai Quanwu's chatterbox opened.

While the two were talking, Wan Ping'an, Xu Huirong, and Chen Xueru walked out of the rice field.

Xu Huirong was holding two ears of rice.

"Ping'an, the rice you planted, just like the tomatoes you planted, is of tribute grade."

"Your planting technique is too magical!"

Xu Huirong sighed.

"Routine operation!"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

"Hmph, you're getting full of yourself, aren't you?"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at Wan Ping'an.

She found she was understanding Wan Ping'an less and less.

Planting tomatoes, super high quality, snatched up by people.

Planting rice, also top-tier quality—if it hadn't been harvested and put on the market, it would definitely have been snatched up crazily too.

Just based on this farming ability, Wan Ping'an could definitely become a superior person.

"Xueru, tell me, if I use this rice to brew wine, can I brew the finest rice wine?"

Xu Huirong's eyes lit up.

She asked her good sister beside her.

"Yes, definitely."

"Maybe you can brew tribute wine, perhaps it could become special supply."

Chen Xueru's eyes lit up, then dimmed.

The rice Ping'an grew could be used by Xu Huirong, but it had nothing to do with her.

"Ping'an, after the rice is harvested, sell it to me, how about that?"

"I want to use it to brew rice wine."

Xu Huirong went to discuss it with Wan Ping'an excitedly.

"Fine!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

He planned to keep some for himself to eat, but how much could he eat alone?

Most of it still had to be sold.

Selling to anyone was the same, wasn't it?

"Great."

"You wait, I will definitely brew the best rice wine."

Xu Huirong was full of confidence.

Cai Quanwu was also very confident; Xu Huirong's brewing technique was very high, and with the super high-quality rice, she would definitely be able to brew good wine.

"Haha, I'm in for a treat."

Han Dahe was also a wine lover, and hearing about wine, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Ping'an returned to the Sihe Academy.
