Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Hit the Nail on the Head_1

"Good! A good phrase, ’Every drink and peck, there is a predestined fate in the darkness’, haha..."

The old clan elder laughed heartily.

"How unexpected! I can’t believe you still have those jars of wine from back then!"

A rough voice rang out from behind.

Everyone turned around, just in time to see Lui Ming striding over from the other side of the mountain trail, nodding slightly towards the old clan elder.

"Old clan elder, hope you’re well"

The old clan elder slightly raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Why bring up the past? If it weren’t for my folly back then, would you, this malevolent man, have planted your roots in Yongze County? The calamity that befalls Yongze County today is because of Old Man Qin’s poor judgement, I..."

"Hey! Old Qin, don’t overstep your bounds! The business deal back then was voluntary, money was exchanged fairly. I didn’t owe you a cent! You make it sound like I reaped undue benefits from you, misleading these juniors who don’t understand, right?"

Before the old clan elder could finish, Lui Ming started shouting!

"You, you... scoundrel!"

The old clan elder was so angry that his face became beet red and his hand trembled uncontrollably, it took him quite a while to spit out those two words.

Qin Yi, who was standing by the side, wore a worried look on his face and hurriedly went up to console the elder.

Su Pan’er was watching this farce with her chin in her hand, things were getting more interesting!

Lui Muyi leaned over: "Actually, the mansion we live in now was previously the ancestral property of your Qin Clan. It was sold by your old clan elder to my father, who also bought another part of your Qin family’s properties..."

He didn’t lower his voice, so everyone around naturally understood.

Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up!

So that’s how it is! Selling ancestral properties, did something major happen to the Qin Clan back then? They actually had to sell off their ancestral properties!

The old clan elder was trembling all over.

He pointed at Lui Ming and berated, "What do you mean by ’selling off’? You clearly took advantage of the famine year to make huge profits, buying my Qin family’s ancestral properties in Yongze county for less than 20% of their original price, and you dare speak with such audacity! You? You..."

Lui Ming still looked calm, he sat down, picked up a jug of wine, poured a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Selling low? There were many selling at lower prices than the Qin family!"

He let out a strange laugh, raised his hand and touched the gruesome scar on his face, "If it weren’t for the life-saving grace you once showed me, I wouldn’t have favored your Qin family back then! Because of that money, your Qin family survived the famine year without any clan member starving to death. What more do you want?"

The old clan elder’s face turned black with rage!

It took him quite a while before he managed to say: "You... you are simply unreasonable! Let’s go, we’re leaving! I don’t want to see this wicked man again!"

After he said this, he got up to leave.

"Oh! I say old man, how come after so many years, you are still as stubborn as a mule?"

Lui Ming grabbed the sleeve of the elder’s robe and laughed heartily, "Besides! Even though I did take some advantage from you, buying your Qin family’s properties was risky. Business deals are based on mutual agreement. How unreasonable would it be to resent the buyer after many years because the goods were sold cheap earlier?"

"You clearly took advantage of the situation!"

The old clan elder still couldn’t swallow his pride.

"Look! You just don’t understand. Think about it, didn’t you also weigh out your options before choosing to do business with me back then?"

Lui Ming’s rough laughter was indeed not pleasant to hear, "Anyway... you know well that I, Lui Ming, just have this temper, and don’t care about what I say. Today, I’ll apologize to you for what happened in the past. Come sit down, have a bowl of wine and cool down! Ha ha..."

As he spoke, he poured a bowl of wine himself, lifted it high above his head, and presented it to the old clan elder.

Since the other party had lowered his pride, it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to leave now. At this, the old clan elder finally took the bowl and sat down again with an angry face.

He took a shallow sip and put down the bowl: "The old man is sparing you today only because of this jar of fine wine, otherwise...hmm!"

Lui Ming raised his wine bowl high, his husky voice ringing loud and cheerful.

"With wine we celebrate, what is life but a fleeting instance. Although we all exist in this one-mu-three-points land of Yongze County, it’s rare for us to gather. Now that we have this rare encounter, naturally we should ’not get drunk by the wine but by the ambiance’!"

"Well said, Uncle Lui!"

Qin Yi stood up to mediate: "Those present are all Qin Yi’s elders, and we have this rare fine wine, so Qin Yi would like to toast you all!"

"Well said! Good, let’s drink up!"

As Lui Ming’s booming voice rose, everyone raised their wine bowls in a toast and took a big gulp.

With the good start, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the laughter eased the previously tense ambiance.

Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled with a hint of playfulness as she carefully observed the wine in her hand.

The wine bore a crystal clear and transparent amber red, highly glossy. The delicate sniff of the wine unleashed an elegant, seductive, deep fragrance of fruit mixed with a unique wine aroma— a striking blend of fragrances that delighted the senses and filled the earth. An intoxicating feast for the senses.

Unconsciously, Su Pan’er took another sip.

The wine gradually spread throughout her mouth, stimulating her entire tongue, causing a surge of salivation. The delicate sipping and slow swallowing left a gentle lingering aftertaste, a delicious feeling that was beyond words.

This wine?

Su Pan’er’s eyes lit up!

The look on her face caught Lui Ming’s eye. He saw the light in her eyes and turned towards her.

"Ugly girl, it looks like you also know a thing or two about wine! What are you thinking? Have you thought of a good idea to make money? Share it with all of us."

At his words, Su Pan’er looked up and asked hesitantly, "Uncle Lui, is this wine your own brew, or did you buy it for resale?"

"This wine is, of course, our own brew."

His response made Lui Ming sigh and put down the wine bowl: "Back when my grandfather served as the prefect in Shaoxing, he accumulated a fair number of properties there. This wine is the fruit of our own vineyard. Later, when my grandfather became an official in the Capital City, and due to a certain cause, my father was exiled to Yongze County. However, just as we arrived at the farmland, we were attacked by a band of outlaws. I was severely wounded, and narrowly escaped death thanks to the clan leader’s help."

During their conversation, Lui Ming respectfully fist-palmed towards the clan leader.

The clan leader coldly snorted and turned his head away.

"At that time, I was poverty-stricken, only managed to save a few jars of wine, which I gave to the clan leader as gifts of gratitude."

Lui Ming laughed, scratching his beard: "Ugly girl, why are you curious about this?"

I see!

Su Pan’er seemed to come to a realization: "So, Uncle Lui has such a complicated past. It’s just that...this wine somewhat resembles Bamboo Leaf Green Wine?"

"What green wine?"

Lui Ming and several others looked at each other in confusion.

Could it be that Bamboo Leaf Green Wine has not yet been introduced? A surge of excitement suddenly hit Su Pan’er.

"It’s a type of wine made by adding various medicinal ingredients to yellow wine. It has high health benefits and a gentle taste..."

The more she spoke, the more clueless the crowd seemed to be. Clearly, no one had heard of this wine before.

Lui Muyi’s eyes turned round: "Pan’er, do you have the recipe for this wine?"

That question hit home. Nearly everyone, including Lui Ming, the clan elder, clan chief, Qin Yi, and those who were secretly eavesdropping, pricked up their ears to carefully listen to Su Pan’er’s reply.
