After Su Yunjin returned, she immediately started making fruit wine. This time, she planned to make more batch of fruit wine at once, and for this purpose, Su Yunjin bought quite a few more pottery jars. There were almost half a cartload of them. With so many jars, the kitchen definitely wouldn’t have room for all of them.
She had to find another place to store them, but luckily, the house had been recently built by Su Yunjin and her family, and for now, it was just her and her husband Gu Ya living there.
Several rooms were empty. It was entirely possible to choose one of the vacant rooms to store these extra jars. Su Yunjin looked around and made her decision.
In the end, she chose an empty room next to the woodshed for the storage of the jars. All the excess jars were moved to that room by Gu Ya.
What remained were the ones needed for today.
Su Yunjin worked on making fruit wine with Gu Ya’s help. The couple cooperated and managed to turn all the wild fruits they bought at the market into fruit wine after a busy afternoon.
They made fifteen jars of wine today, more than one and a half times the amount of the last batch. Last time, Su Yunjin made six jars of fruit wine, of which only two were consumable.
This time, having made fifteen jars with a confirmed ratio, she knew all of them would succeed, unlike the last batch. Back then, Su Yunjin didn’t know the correct proportions, resulting in four out of six jars being failures. Seeing how profitable fruit wine can be, she and Gu Ya made more than a dozen jars this time.
If all were sold, that would mean over a hundred taels of silver. Today, the manager Liu tried to deceive her and suggested she sell the recipe for one hundred taels.
Luckily, she was smart and did not agree to manager Liu’s proposal. If she had been easy to fool and greedily accepted the immediate benefit, how much would she be missing out on now?
Wouldn’t that have been a huge loss?
Su Yunjin had experimented and found that this kind of fruit wine needed to ferment for about half a month to taste good. Once the fruit wine was ready, she wouldn’t need to do anything else.
All she had to do was wait for about half a month, then taste it to make sure it was good before delivering it to Fuman Building. That night, Su Yunjin unexpectedly received a visit from manager Liu at the home she shared with her husband Gu Ya.
Gu Ya personally welcomed manager Liu into the main hall to sit, while Su Yunjin prepared tea, placing a cup before manager Liu and one for Gu Ya.
“Manager Liu, may I ask what brings you to visit us all of a sudden today?” Su Yunjin asked after setting down the tea and taking a seat next to Gu Ya.
Manager Liu had already disclosed his purpose for coming when Su Yunjin was making tea in the kitchen, informing Gu Ya, “Yunjin, manager Liu is here today to buy the recipe for your fruit wine.”
Surprised, Su Yunjin looked toward manager Liu. She had already refused him twice today at the Fuman Building, and she had not expected him to make a personal visit that evening to buy her fruit wine recipe.
Manager Liu did not beat around the bush.
“Indeed, young lady, I have come specifically to acquire your fruit wine making method. May I ask how much you require to sell the recipe to this old man?” After Su Yunjin and her husband had left, manager Liu had tasted the remaining two jars of wine again. Both had a rich and delicious flavor, and upon further consideration, he was even more convinced that the two jars of wine Su Yunjin had brought would sell well.
Not wanting to miss out on such a profitable opportunity, manager Liu came personally to buy the recipe for Su Yunjin’s fruit wine making method, aiming to do so before Madam Qin found out.
The fruit wine would be his.
