When his wife and sons were unsure, the old man finally embodied his family status for a time.

After a soft cough, "Nannan, do you really remember how this wine was made?"

At that time, Nannan was playing, and the family saw her just throwing grapes into the wine jar at random, with no skill whatsoever. As simple as that, can they really make wine?

"Nannan really remembers!" Liu Yusheng was a little helpless. If only she were a little older, she would speak more eloquently, "If you don't believe it, when the grapes are ripe, I'll brew them for grandpa!"

"Okay, then let's make grape wine! The grapes are readily available, so even if we don't earn money then, it's just a matter of losing money and effort!" The old man decided, "Let our Nannan have fun!"

The corners of Liu Yusheng twitched a little.

Oh lord, she's really going to get used to their spoiling.

"Alright, there's still thirty taels of silver left in the family now, it's a loss to buy any more wine! Brew!"

Grandma Liu seconded.

"Father, divide the wine once more. I think the taste of this grape wine is suitable for men, women and children alike. Even if the lords don't drink it, sell it to the women of big families. Some people might like it. More importantly, it's rare." Liu Dalin added.

"Here, taste it, there's not much left, a small sip each!"

He barely scraped together a small half bowl, because the rest was just scraps of fruit.

Everyone took a small sip. Even Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu tasted it, smacking their lips in praise.

Now that things were sort of settled, Liu Yusheng finally sighed with relief.

Being so young, she was really afraid that her family would think she's messing around and dismiss her idea.

With a good start, she believes that the outcome would exceed her expectations.

Although the method of making the wine was simple and crude and could be easily copied, she wasn't worried. The taste of her grape wine mixed with spiritual spring water was not something that could be easily surpassed.

Throughout the night, the adults in the family were a little sleepless, a little excited, a little frightened, and more hopeful for the future.

What began as a child's phrase seemed to open a whole new door to the home.

They knew nothing of what lay behind the door, but in each one of them, an expectation rose up in their hearts.

At lunch the next day, after finishing the work in the field, Grandpa Liu discussed buying a batch of wine jars first in advance to prepare.

"I was thinking that since we're making wine for business, the number certainly can't be too few. There should be more wine jars. I'll just simply go to Li and order a batch from him. The porcelain kiln of his home is now also in the doldrums. Since we're in the same village, I'll find him for a cheaper cost and he can also earn some, just help each other."

"All right, just go and order from him. We used to borrow his wagon a lot." Grandma Liu wiped her hands on her apron, "I'll get you the money."
