Farmer Lady of Fortune, Imperial Concubine, Don't be too sweet - Chapter 39.1
When Dalin took the spoon to scoop wine, his hands were shaking.

The clear and transparent red wine was filled with a rich aroma that made people salivate.

He gulped and said, "Father, have a drink first."

Everyone stared at Grandpa Liu without blinking, nervous and apprehensive.

Before he could even have a taste of the wine, Grandpa Liu was overwhelmed by the pressure. He took a deep breath and bowed his head to taste it.

As soon as the wine flowed down his throat, his eyes immediately opened wide. It was mellow and sweet, leaving a fragrant taste in his cheeks! Almost identical to what he had drank last year!

"It's done! Done! It really is! It's delicious, it's good wine!"

Dalin's tense body suddenly relaxed, his face full of joy, "Really? Did it work? Great, great!"

"Dad, give me a taste. Let me see if it's the same as the old drink." Dalin was so happy that he didn't know where to place his arms and legs.

Liu Erlin wasn't to be outdone: "Let me have a taste too! I won't believe it unless I tasted it myself!"

"Hahaha! Here, take a sip and see how it tastes! I dare say that if this wine is taken out, even if we don't make money, we definitely won't lose!" The old man laughed, handed the bowl to Liu Dalin, turned around and picked up Liu Yusheng and kissed her hard, "Ouch, my baby granddaughter, you've really made wine! Are you happy? Hahaha!"

"Mwah!" With a kiss on Grandpa Liu's wrinkled face, Liu Yusheng grinned, "Is Grandpa happy?"

"I'm very happy! Very happy! There isn't a child in the whole village as smart or wise as our little poppet! Hahaha!"

"There you go again. Go around saying something like that and the whole village will hate you." Grandma Liu smiled and scolded, her eyes moist.

Since the time they've harvested grapes to make wine, her heart had been hanging every day. She was afraid of worrying her family and discouraging her little granddaughter, so she dared not to show it on her face.

Everything was great now. She could finally put her heart at ease.

Everyone took a sip from the bowl of wine, except for Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu, who have gone to school and have yet to return and were unable to share in this joy.

"I can't believe it's really only been a month or so since the wine was made. It tastes no worse than last year's drink, but the purity is only a bit lower." Liu Dalin smacked his lips and assessed pertinently.

"The longer the wine is kept, the more mellow it naturally becomes. But we made it for sale this time, so waiting a year for a little mellowness isn't worth it." Grandpa Liu smiled.

Liu Erlin nodded, "You're right. Now that the wine is ready, shall we package it first? Tomorrow morning, big brother and I will go to town to sell it!"

"Okay, let's package it! Not too many, just package this vat. Tomorrow, you two take the wine and explore the town's wine shops first."

Liu Yusheng smiled vaguely beside them.

This was tantamount to her dream. She has successfully conquered the most difficult first step and instilled confidence in her family. Next up, she believed it wouldn't be too difficult as long as accidents didn't happen.

Her family would be better off and their horizons would be broadened.

She would take them with her and walk out into a new life.

"It's a pity that the wine has a lot of crushed fruit and pulp. It would look better without them." Poking her little head, Liu Yusheng feigned nonchalance. It wasn't fruitless. It immediately caused Dad and Second Uncle to think deeply.

"Du Juan,  go find a clean gauze. I remember there's still some left from the gauze I used when I hurt my head." Liu Erlin clapped his hands together.

Du Juan immediately breezed into the room to find the well-stowed gauze.

She had been deeply distressed when her husband was hurt in the head, so she took very good care of him, and the gauze used to bandage him was specially boiled.

Now, it came in handy.

As soon as Liu Erlin said that, Liu Dalin understood his intention: "This is a good idea! Sift those peels and pulp right through the gauze! All that's left will be pure liquor!"

"Hey, you two brothers, one usually clumsy and one reckless – this is a rare show of your wit this time." Grandpa Liu quipped. Along with Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan, they moved the small wine jars that had already been washed and dried over, along with a clean wooden tub to hold the filtered debris.

There were no more big clean vats left in the house, so to separate them, they could only strain directly into the small jars.

Although it was troublesome, the wine that was filtered was extremely pure, and just looking at it was more than a grade higher than before. Filled with confidence and hope, everyone's faces were overflowing with smiles, feeling no weariness at all.

One large vat, 100 Catty of grapes, 1 catty of rice wine, and a whole 220 jars are packaged!

A catty of grapes was equivalent to a catty or two of wine!

It cost 150 wen! 110 catty of wine!

"Even if a catty of fruit wine only costs 10 Wen, w-we can make a fortune!" Liu Erlin smirked.

Grandpa Liu wanted to smack him on the head and call him a crazy brat, but because of his head injury, he changed course temporarily, and said, "Short-sighted, even half a Catty of low grade rice wine costs 50 Wen, yet you want to ruin our wine with, what, 10 Wen? See if I don't kill you! Do you know what this is? It's the only wine in the entire Nanling Kingdom!"

"Dad, how much do we sell them, then?"

"..." Grandpa Liu was stuck, he didn't know how much to price it either.

It was reasonable to say that the price should be high for an exclusive product, but if they really sold it expensively, would anyone buy it?

"Grandparents, parents, uncle and aunt, Aunt Wanrong said that if the wine is ready, she wants to have a taste and give us advice! Do you think Aunt Wanrong can help us set a suitable price?" Liu Yusheng asked smilingly.

"Right!" Grandma Liu slapped her thigh: "Wanrong looks like she's from a big family. She must have more knowledge than us country folk. I'll bring a jar of wine with me and go up to their cabin to find her! Thanks to our Nannan's reminder, I wouldn't have remembered it!"

Grandma Liu has always been fiery. As soon as she said it, she took a jar of wine and led Liu Yusheng to the cabin.

It was already evening. The sunset had completely sunk and Venus was already twinkling up the canopy sky.

Looking at the time, Chen Xiulan and Du Juan went to cook. The meal was ready, but they still hadn't returned.

In the cabin.

Grandma Liu looked nervously at Wanrong: "How is it? How does it taste? Wanrong, you're rich in knowledge, but you have to evaluate it accurately. Otherwise, my heart won't be at ease."

Putting down the small cup of wine, Wanrong pondered for a moment, before saying, "Auntie, the wine is very good. The taste isn't lacking, and after drinking it, you'll feel different. It has a more nourishing effect on the spleen than regular grapefruit wine. This is just my feeling after the first taste. Whether it really has this effect, it takes time to verify it. Regardless of that, the comfort alone after drinking it surpasses all ordinary fruit wine ever sold!"

"Really? Phew, that's a relief. Tell me, if we take this wine out, how much should we price it?"
