Chapter 1286: Chapter 402: Omen, The Death of Master Du Jie_4

The first bottle was already considered top-grade, which greatly boosted Lizhong’s confidence. He took the small porcelain bottle that had been rated as top-grade and set it aside separately, waiting for Mo Yan to continue testing the next one. The small porcelain bottles and the wine jars had corresponding labels, so even if piled together, they wouldn’t get mixed up.

The second bottle Mo Yan opened was peach wine, which was very suitable for women to drink. The proportion of sugar added during brewing had to be higher. She took a sip, furrowed her brows slightly, and under Lizhong’s nervous gaze, she shook her head, "It wasn’t sealed well, it’s a bit sour, pour it out."

Without hesitation, Lizhong took out a writing brush and drew a red cross on the label of the small porcelain bottle.

Mo Yan nodded in approval, silently affirming that letting Lizhong manage the distillery was the right decision. He was visionary, discerning, and capable of making the right decisions.

To pour away a vat of wine that was only slightly sour and still drinkable was a painful thing to do, but if they wanted the distillery’s reputation to skyrocket from the outset, there could be no mistakes. Even if this vat of peach wine was drinkable and only the taste was slightly off, it couldn’t be allowed to appear on the market.

There were too many samples, and even if Mo Yan wouldn’t get drunk, her tongue would lose its normal judgement due to tasting too many varied samples. After trying ten samples, she stopped and waited an hour before continuing.

Out of the ten samples she tasted, besides one vat of sour peach wine and one vat of slightly rotten grape wine, the others had no issues. There were six top-grade samples and two medium ones, which was very good and far exceeded Mo Yan’s expectations.

But Lizhong was somewhat unable to let go. The occurrence of souring and rot was due to poor sealing, and that was entirely his fault.

Mo Yan noticed this and soothed Lizhong for a while before having him take the properly tested samples for separate packaging, while she would slowly finish the rest.

In the following days, apart from handling some urgent matters, Mo Yan holed up in the study to taste wines. Lizhong also worked quickly on his end; once the wine tasting was completed, the packaging was also done.

Besides keeping a batch of wines as a collectible edition to be sold at high prices in the future, the rest of the wines were gradually taken away by people sent by Yan Junyu. Yan Junyu’s businesses were widespread, and this batch of wine, though it seemed ample, would be gone once distributed to each location. If it sold out, they would have to wait until next year to restock.

Both Mo Yan and Yan Junyu had great confidence in this batch of fruit wine, and a free tasting event next to the rice shop proved their confidence well-founded; two hundred bottles of fruit wine sold out within four hours, successfully making a grand debut.

As October approached, the much-anticipated full moon celebration of the legitimate imperial grandson of Great Chu finally arrived. As the Crown Prince’s legitimate son, and deeply beloved by the emperor of the nation, this legitimate imperial grandson was set to be the next Crown Prince of Great Chu, barring any accidents.

On the second day of the month, almost anyone with connections fought for an invitation to the Prince’s Mansion, even if they couldn’t see Emperor Huian and the Crown Prince who would personally attend the celebration at the Prince’s Mansion; it was a good opportunity to form new alliances.

Actually, the Prince’s Mansion didn’t need to issue invitations for the celebration. However, because foreign spies from the Ministry of Penal Affairs had escaped and were yet to be apprehended, the Prince’s Mansion issued a hundred invitations to prevent spies from sneaking in.

Only those holding an invitation could enter the Prince’s Mansion to congratulate the legitimate imperial grandson, making the thin invitation extraordinarily precious. Having one meant you had caught the Crown Prince’s attention, and your future was boundless!
