Chapter 1209: Chapter 381: Duke Wu’an, Brewing Wine_4

Seeing her sincere attitude, Doctor Du’s anger subsided a bit, yet his tone remained strict, "The warnings I have given you, you must engrave them in your heart. I do not wish to hear one day that Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles have caused a person’s death."

Mo Yan knew that her master was looking out for her best interest, and she felt even more ashamed for her reckless suggestion earlier, "Master, your disciple understands. I will not treat human life as a child’s play in the future, nor will I let Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles be ruined in my hands."

Doctor Du patted her head and sighed, "You are still young, and it is normal to have such impulsive thoughts. I do not know how many good years I have left, and you must remember everything I teach you. You must not attempt anything without being absolutely sure, just because you are exceptionally talented. Those are all human lives."

Mo Yan took her master’s admonitions to heart. The illness of Duke Wu’an could only be temporarily delayed until she was absolutely certain; then she would use Mrs. Du’s Nine Needles for treatment. Although the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Spring Water could clear the blockages in Duke Wu’an’s brain, there was a risk of exposing the Space, so she couldn’t take the chance.

After returning from the medical hall, taking advantage of the fact that the Mid-Autumn Festival had not yet arrived, Mo Yan threw herself into winemaking.

The Xiaoqing River babbled along, dividing the winery into two. Long quays built with stone slabs ran along both sides of the river, making it very convenient to wash fruits while standing on the quay. Zhao Mu and the others spent two days washing all the fruits, and after the droplets on them were dried, they were sorted and sent to different winemaking workshops.

The center of the winery was where the winemaking workshop was located. It was surrounded by lush green bamboo, and from a distance, only the tips of the roofs could be seen. Around the outer bamboo, there lay scattered grey boulders, and dense clumps of Violets poked out from the crevices, extra endearing.

The winemaking workshop was just a fraction of the entire winery. Compared to other places, it could only be considered ordinary. After all, the workshop would not be open to the public, and the original intention for such careful decoration was to coordinate with the layout of the winery.

"Boss, what do we do next?" Zhao Mu and the others carried baskets of grapes, unsuitable for long-term storage, to the winemaking workshop specifically for grape wine, looked at the clean vats, and not knowing what to do next, they asked Mo Yan, who was checking the vats.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan grabbed a handful of grapes from the bamboo basket and with a slight effort toward the vat, the grapes instantly turned into crushed pulp, "Just like this, crush the grapes and put them into the vat, then add sugar in a certain proportion."

As she spoke, she explained the proportion of sugar to grapes in detail. Usually, the ratio of grapes to sugar is ten to three, which yields a very sweet wine, suitable for sweet-loving ladies. A ten to two ratio would result in a much less sweet wine, better suited for men.

After listening, Zhao Mu and the others could hardly believe their ears, "Boss, is it really that simple?"

Mo Yan spread her hands, "It’s just that simple, you’re overthinking it."

The group exchanged glances, still somewhat incredulous. They had tasted grape wine before; though not as immediately gratifying as strong liquor, it had a quality that strong liquor lacked. They couldn’t quite describe this quality, but it made them savor the wine instinctively, soothing even the most troubled mind with just one glass.

They had assumed that such fine wine would be difficult to produce, but unexpectedly, the secret was just sugar. As long as the ratio was mastered, even a child could make wine.

What was more precious was that the boss didn’t hesitate to share this secret with them, a level of trust that deeply moved them.
