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.
