Wu Wenli listened to the other person’s words and looked at Su Peng.
Su Peng didn’t make a sound but took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and threw it directly onto the person, then turned around and got into the car without saying a word.
Wu Wenli also hurriedly got in the car.
She reversed the car, went around the other person, and started their journey.
Zhang Dacai was lying on the ground, kissed the money in his hand, and thought that having a son was great. Look, no matter how he hadn’t raised his son when he was a child, now in this state, his son still wouldn’t completely ignore him.
He decided that in the future, he would use this method to ask his son for money, not asking for much each time, two hundred would be enough.
Asking once a month, his life could then be considered worry-free when it comes to food and clothing, and if his card-playing buddies knew about it, they would surely be green with envy.
Who said his son doesn’t acknowledge him.
A son is his son, that will never change.
In the car, Wu Wenli looked at Su Peng and gently asked, "That person, he..."
"When I had a fever that year, he wouldn’t spend a single cent for me. If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have become ’stupid.’" Su Peng said, pressing his lips tightly together,
With just this sentence, Wu Wenli seemed to understand everything.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Su Peng could disown such a terrible person.
"I think he has decided to latch on to you, give him money once and there will be a second time; he will never be satisfied," Wu Wenli knew the person was greedy with just one look.
"He is my biological father. Other than not wanting to deal with him, I won’t do anything else. After all, this is the countryside. If I really did something to him, whether I was right or wrong, in the end, everyone would label me as unfilial."
He had no feelings for Zhang Dacai whatsoever, and he didn’t want to acknowledge him at all.
"Indeed," Wu Wenli nodded, "but still, you have to think of a solution. If he keeps harassing you , it’s not a solution either."
Xiaofeng suggested to Director Zhou whether they could produce rice wine.
The most important thing about producing rice wine is the craft; only if the craft is right will the taste be good.
"Boss Su, this is a tough one for me. I’ve never worked in a distillery, and I really don’t know how to produce alcohol. However, I think your suggestion is feasible. I believe we can produce our rice wine."
"Let’s not start a production line for the time being. Just use traditional brewing techniques, I’m looking for flavor, and these wines won’t take the common route, I’ll aim for the middle and high-end market."
Director Zhou nodded, "Okay."
Xiaofeng actually wanted to process the rice wine a bit, turn it into a series of modern health-boosting liquors.
But what to add to the rice wine, she was also not sure at the moment.
At night, entering the space, she flipped through the herbal book, looking to see if there were any herbs that could be used in wine and also contribute to health and strengthening the body.
Thinking of the space, there seemed to be a clear spring. She had a bold idea: could she use the spring water from the space to brew a wine for her own consumption?
Xiaofeng did find a plant that was a natural fermentation agent, suitable for brewing wine that not only improved the flavor but also benefited women by beautifying them, and made men healthier after drinking it.
Early in the morning, Xiaofeng took Xiaonian back to Lihua Village, as she wanted to go back and brew wine.
He Ximei was burning the family’s wine these days; home-brewed rice wine was indispensable for family banquets.
She had just buried the wine jars into the rice husks when she saw Xiaofeng driving back.
"What are you doing, He Mom?" Xiaonian got out of the car and curiously asked He Mom, who had buried three wine jars of different sizes.
"Distilling liquor," He Ximei patted her hands to shake off the rice husks, "After the wine is brewed, it needs to be boiled before it can be drunk. Unboiled wine is called raw wine, and the taste is much worse. Boiled wine tastes much better."
"I see, do we light the fire now?"
"I’m just about to do that."
"Let me do it, it looks fun."
Xiaonian took the matchbox and started lighting the fire.
After the thick smoke, sparkles began to appear.
"You can’t use a big fire for burning liquor; it has to be a low fire, slowly heating it up," He Ximei explained.
"Mom, I also want to try brewing wine myself. I came back specifically to learn."
He Ximei glanced at her, "You want to learn?"
"I want to see if the factory needs to produce liquor, so I wanted to try it myself first."
"You girl, you see everything as business."
"Sis, that’s a good idea. I think this rice wine is really tasty, much better than baijiu." Xiaonian was thrilled to hear her sister wanted to learn.
If her sister learned how to do it, wouldn’t she be the one to reap the benefits?
Xiaoyan gave her a glance, only thinking of her with four words in mind: a true liquor lover.
