Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 159 Secret Wine

What He Yuzhu called winemaking was not as simple as she imagined. He was planning to put these wines to practical use.

How can this work?

Seeing Xu Huizhen's stupid look, He Yuzhu urged, "Huizhen, please agree to me!"

Xu Huizhen came back to her senses, took his hand and stepped back a few steps, lowering her voice and saying, "Yuzhu, no, absolutely not."

"Why? Are you afraid that I will fail?"

"of course not……"

"Then why are you still hesitating? I'm going to study it, and it won't be without cost."

"Yuzhu, you have to understand that we don't have the money to invest in building a winery right now."

Xu Huizhen sighed heavily and tried her best to persuade He Yuzhu.

She believes that no one in this world is reliable and only money is the closest companion.

The construction of a winery will cost at least 50,000 yuan, not including other expenses.

When He Yuzhu saw Xu Huizhen's sad face, his heart softened.

"You are so worried, aren't I discussing this with you?"

After saying that, he sat on the stool next to him.

Xu Huizhen sat beside him, looking into the distance with empty eyes.

He Yuzhu actually gave her the choice.

Xu Huizhen knew that she was the one He Yuzhu was waiting for, but she just couldn't nod her head.

Her head was buzzing and a dizzy feeling came over her.

She held her forehead and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Rain Pillar..."

she called softly.

He Yuzhu was startled and asked quickly: "Huizhen, what's wrong with you? Stop crying!"

As he spoke, he stood up and helped Xu Huizhen wipe away her tears.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, women are really unpredictable. They start crying at any time and it is unbearable.

When Xu Huizhen saw his reaction, she cried even harder.

"Yuzhu, our family only has tens of thousands of dollars in savings. If you lose it, how will we live in the future?"

He Yuzhu was stunned, then frowned: "Huizhen, I didn't expect you to think of me like this, it really disappoints me."

It's too unlucky that she decided she would fail without even trying.

"I……"

Xu Huizhen bit her lip when she saw He Yuzhu's gloomy face.

He Yuzhu also let out a long sigh.

"I know I don't have much education, and you think I'm a loser, but I'm working hard to make money for this family."

"In the past two years, apart from cooking, I have spent the rest of my time studying winemaking. Don't you know?"

"Besides, now that I have the true teachings from my master, I am confident that I will not fail."

He Yuzhu became more and more excited as he spoke, his chest heaving, revealing his inner anger.

Xu Huizhen stopped talking and just lowered her head and sobbed.

Seeing this scene, He Yuzhu felt a little guilty.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Then she said softly, "Huizhen, I know you are always worried about your family."

"But since I dare to mention this matter, I am absolutely sure."

"Look, I brought three bottles of wine today..."

He Yuzhu took out three bottles wrapped in red cloth from his arms and handed them to Xu Huizhen as if he was showing off his treasures.

Xu Huizhen raised her head and stared at the bottle in his hand in confusion, unable to react for a moment.

"What's in this gourd? Is it wine?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said mysteriously, "It's medicinal wine."

As he spoke, he unscrewed the bottle cap, and the rich aroma of wine immediately filled the air.

"Ah...what's that smell? It's so strong."

Xu Huizhen quickly covered her nose, her face full of surprise.

He Yuzhu patted her shoulder and explained with a smile:

"This is the medicinal wine prepared by my master. Drinking it regularly is good for the human body and has the effect of beautifying the skin."

Xu Huizhen took the gourd, sniffed it gently, and seemed very surprised.

"Does he really understand this pharmacology?"

She looked shocked.

Although Xu Huizhen had seen this old man before and had seen the wine-making tools he mentioned, she still couldn't believe that this seemingly down-and-out old man had such special skills.

If he really had such ability, why did he live such a miserable life?

"My master is very powerful."

He Yuzhu said proudly, "Not only can he make wine, I also heard that he knows a lot about pharmacology. I just asked him about it yesterday!"

"If this is all true, then what you said is exactly the same as what your grandfather said..."

Xu Huizhen said to herself, with a gleam in her eyes.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was puzzled, she asked, "What did grandpa say?"

However, when He Yuzhu asked again, Xu Huizhen just shook her head and said softly: "Nothing..."

But He Yuzhu refused to give in: "Huizhen, tell me now!"

Xu Huizhen bit her lip and finally said, "Your master is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"That's what I guessed. Otherwise, why would he tell me the secret recipe?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu nodded in agreement without any doubt.

Then he asked: "Why don't you support me in opening a winery? If this craft is really lost, it will be a great loss."

Although He Yuzhu said this, he had actually already made up his mind. Even without Xu Huizhen's support, he was determined to give it a try.

He didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After some thought, Xu Huizhen finally made a decision: "Go ahead and try, but make sure you are safe."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

He Yuzhu was so happy to get Xu Huizhen's approval that he almost jumped up.

"That's it!"

In the midst of his excitement, He Yuzhu thought of another question: "By the way, since you said that his knowledge of pharmacology is very solid, why don't you come and see if you can get some recipes for medicinal wine?"

Xu Huizhen took out a box from the drawer, which contained several sheets of yellowed rice paper.

“This is what my grandfather left me.”

she explained.

He Yuzhu took it and looked at it carefully, and found that the recipe ingredients of many medicinal liquors were recorded on it.

"Keep these things for now. If you have the opportunity to learn more in-depth knowledge in the future, they may be useful."

Xu Huizhen instructed seriously.

"Thank you so much, Huizhen."

He Yuzhu said with gratitude.

He Yuzhu was deeply moved. He hugged her and kissed her hard before leaving reluctantly.

Xu Huizhen lowered her head shyly, her heart beating faster, she was really moved.

Thinking about He Yuzhu's success, she couldn't help but feel excited that her business would definitely grow bigger.

She has always wanted to buy a courtyard house, but the money she has is far from enough.

As long as He Yuzhu runs the winery successfully, her dream will come true.

After leaving the tavern, He Yuzhu carried the vegetables to his master's house.

As soon as I entered the door, I found the master meditating.

He walked lightly and observed his master quietly.

After a while, the master opened his eyes and said, "Yuzhu, you are here."

The old man stretched himself, as if he was about to fall asleep from meditation.

He saw the basket in He Yuzhu's hand and asked, "Are you going to the market to buy vegetables again?"

"Master, you really have a sharp eye!"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and chuckled.

The old man glared at him and said, "Do you think I'm blind? I saw you carrying two baskets of vegetables in."

"Master, it's not easy for you to make money, so don't buy things for me all the time."

He Yuzhu quickly put the basket aside.

"This dish doesn't cost much. You have to take good care of yourself. I still need you."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he remembered what Xu Huizhen had told him and hurriedly sat down next to the old man.

"Master, I want to continue researching medicinal wine. Can you teach me the formula?"

The old man hesitated.

"Master, I will definitely learn the real medicine skills this time!"

"Okay, I'll teach you, but remember, don't be too eager for quick success, otherwise it will backfire."

The old man knew He Yuzhu's character very well, but he still reminded him again.

During dinner, the old man handed the prepared herbs and recipe to He Yuzhu: "This is the prescription you want. You follow the steps above to make it."

He Yuzhu took a closer look and was pleasantly surprised: "Master, why didn't you tell me it was so simple earlier!"

"You kid, do you think your master will lie to you?"

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Shall we try it now?"

He Yuzhu asked impatiently.

The old man shook his head and said solemnly: "Do you remember what I said? I meditate here every morning because it can calm my mind and maintain a good attitude.

You should do the same, meditate every day to adjust your mindset.”

"Okay, okay, I'll practice now!"

He Yuzhu agreed immediately and sat down cross-legged next to the old man.

He thought that if he wanted to make money, he had to listen to his master, so he had no choice but to obey.

186. Xu Huizhen is confused

He Yuzhu meditated with his master for a while, and when he found that his master had no intention of ending, he quietly opened his eyes.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The master's head was tilted to one side, his eyes were closed, and snot flowed to the corner of his mouth like a winding river.

His stomach rose and fell rhythmically with each breath.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing. The master was not meditating, he was clearly sleeping.

He quietly stood up and tiptoed out of the room.

When he came to the kitchen, he searched everywhere but couldn't find anything delicious.

"Master is about to become an immortal!"

he said to himself.

He Yuzhu muttered a few words in a low voice, thinking: Could this also be considered part of winemaking?

Just at this moment, he heard his master calling him.

"Zhu Zi, come and help me!"

He Yuzhu ran over quickly: "Master, what happened?"

The master looked hesitant, and finally said, "Just take a look!"

He Yuzhu looked at his master with confusion.

I saw that the gray cloth clothes on the master had several big holes in them.

But when he saw it just now, the clothes were still intact.

He Yuzhu looked at the master in confusion: "Master, what's wrong with your clothes?"

He also clearly remembered that when he found his master sleeping, his clothes were intact.

The master pointed to a wooden barrel in the corner and said, "I drank a glass of secret wine yesterday, and today I feel my skills have greatly improved."

He sighed and looked thoughtful.

"Master, is there any connection between power and torn clothes?"

He Yuzhu asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The master glared at him, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "What do you know? This is called 'perfect merit'."

What is the perfection of virtue?

"Master, is there such a thing as merit in this world?"

"Of course!"

“Who can have merit then?”

"..."

The master glared at him again, said nothing more, and walked out.
