68: Chapter 68: Thoughts 68: Chapter 68: Thoughts Possibly because she had recovered from her illness, Aurelia Green looked quite spirited and energetic now, standing there full of life.
Upon seeing Peter Brown arrive, Aurelia Green greeted him with a smile, “Peter, come on in and take a seat.”
After the greeting, Peter Brown took a close look at their place.
It was a newly built living area on the mountain, specially arranged for those who provided help like them.
Stepping into the house, Peter saw that the interior was bright and tidy.
“Madam, are you getting used to living here?” Peter Brown asked.
Hearing the inquiry, a wave of excitement flashed across Aurelia’s face.
“Peter, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know what to do.
Our family can never repay your kindness.”
“Don’t say that, I’m just doing what I should.”
“Peter, have some tea first, the dishes will be ready soon.”
Quinn Walker had brought over a cup of hot tea already.
As he took the hot tea, Peter asked, “Do you need any help?”
“There’s no way we’d let you help, just have a seat.”
The mother and daughter duo stopped Peter from helping and competed with each other to do things.
Peter Brown looked around the room and nodded to himself.
Although there wasn’t much furniture inside, the room was very tidy.
Both the mother and daughter were capable women.
Sitting in the room, Peter thought of the time when the mother and daughter were living in that dilapidated house.
Upon recalling this, he thought of the many poor families among the villagers and pondered on how to help them out.
Frankly, Peter had always wanted to help the entire village become wealthy and leave poverty behind.
However, he had never known what to do.
Building roads could solve some people’s problems, and asking others to grow herbal medicine could solve some as well.
Performing such tasks would help their own work, but the idea of them truly lifting themselves out of poverty seemed very distant.
It seemed that there was still much work to do in order to lift everyone in the village out of poverty.
As Peter was lost in his thoughts, Quinn came out with the dishes, smiling, “I made these dishes after asking your parents, so I’m sure they suit your taste.”
“Oh, I can’t wait to try them.”
Peter looked at the dishes and smiled.
As he thought of how Quinn had gone out of her way to find out his preferences, his gaze towards her softened.
Aurelia also brought out some dishes and said, “Peter, actually, we bought all these ingredients with the money you gave to Quinn.
It’s like you’re inviting yourself to dinner.” She laughed.
With their lives improving and her health rejuvenated, Peter found that Aurelia looked much plumper and more attractive compared to when they first met.
“Yeah, Peter, I couldn’t have afforded all these wild ingredients without the money you gave me.”
“Make sure to buy anything you need for food and clothing.
If you run out of money, let me know.”
“Alright, we’re family after all, so there’s no need to be polite.
Since Quinn is your woman, you two should sort things out.
You’re both not that young anymore.
I don’t ask for much; Quinn won’t interfere with your future family as long as you have her in your heart.”
Aurelia suddenly said to Peter Brown.
For a moment, Peter was at a loss for words.
Even he himself didn’t know how to handle this situation.
As for Quinn, Peter didn’t have any aversion to the idea, but he didn’t know what to do at the moment.
Quinn’s face flushed red and she said, “Mom, don’t worry.
Peter is really good to me.”
“Peter, hurry up and try the dish I made.”
Aurelia put some food into Peter’s bowl.
Having dodged the subject, Peter breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he had no aversion to Quinn, but he just didn’t know what to do.
Surprisingly, the dishes prepared by Aurelia suited Peter’s taste perfectly.
After a few bites, he praised, “This is really delicious.”
Aurelia laughed, “If you like it, please come and eat often.
I don’t have much else to do.”
“Peter, I have some homemade wine here.
Although it can’t compare to your wine, it’s still good.
Why don’t you have some?”
As she spoke, Amora brought out an earthen jar and began pouring wine.
Smelling the aroma of the wine, Peter praised, “Not bad, it’s really good wine.”
“If you like it, I’ll drink with you.”
Aurelia poured herself a large glass of wine.
Seeing her pour such a large glass, Peter felt it inappropriate to use his True Qi to neutralize the alcohol, so he and Aurelia clinked glasses and drank together.
After taking a big sip, Peter realized that the wine was really good.
He thought that this was what real good wine should taste like.
The wine he brewed mainly had functional properties, but when it came to taste, it was nowhere near as good as this wine.
“Madam, did you make this wine yourself?”
“Yes, it’s our Green family’s inherited technology.
Now that there are no successors, I can only make some for myself to drink.”
“Madam, what do you think about this idea: I’ll provide the money and you’ll be in charge of brewing the wine.
I’ll hire you as the technical director of the wine factory, and Quinn can serve as the manager, focusing on the research and development of this wine.”
This wine can be sold for money?” Aurelia looked at Peter Brown in confusion.
Nodding firmly, Peter said, “I hadn’t thought about selling wine before, but after seeing the wine you brewed, I came up with another idea.
We can establish a wine factory.”
“Is it really possible?”
Peter Brown took another sip of wine and said, “I’ve had my fair share of wines, and yours is really good.
If I were to add medicinal ingredients to this wine later on, it would definitely be much better than the Laobaigan wine.
At that time, I’ll create a health wine recipe, which I believe will have a market.”
“Peter, I don’t understand much about this.
Anyway, since Quinn is your woman, just let her work.
I’ll pass on all my knowledge to her.
As for the wine factory, I think it’s better for you to serve as the factory director and such since you’re providing the medicinal ingredients.
Besides, you’ll have to explain it to your father.”
Peter Brown nodded slightly.
This matter indeed required careful consideration, especially as his father’s approval was needed.
“First, let Quinn learn.
When everything is set up, I won’t be in charge of things.
Quinn will be responsible for the specifics.”
Hearing that Quinn would be in charge, Amora’s eyes lit up with a smile.
The mother and daughter duo clinked their glasses with Peter Brown one by one.
Peter found that Quinn, like her mother, had a good drinking capacity and both drank in a hearty manner.
Not using his True Qi to dissolve the alcohol, Peter Brown unknowingly became slightly tipsy.
