The moon falling to the ground

Doctor Mao guessed correctly.

The shopkeeper did not return to the iron shop, but went directly to the mansion with the wine.

Manager Yu saw that he was sweating profusely and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

The storekeeper wiped the sweat off his forehead and said mysteriously, "What a great thing. Quickly have someone unload the truck, and be careful not to spill it, it's very valuable!"

The shopkeeper was worried, so he personally watched the servants move the wine jars into the storeroom. Then he asked the servants to fill a pot with all kinds of wine and prepare to send it to Ji Yunzhong.

When the lid of the wine jar was opened, a scent of wine rushed straight to his head, and the servant who was serving the wine wanted to lean over the mouth of the jar and take a sip.

The careless Yu's eyes lit up and he began to take the wine sent by the shopkeeper seriously. After the wine was packed, he personally carried it to Ji Yunzhong.

Ji Yunzhong was reading in the study. After Manager Yu knocked on the door and was allowed in, he and the department manager entered the study one after another.

The shopkeeper said excitedly: "Master, Miss Jian's sauce-flavored Yanlingchun liquor has been released from the cellar. Please try it."

Manager Yu poured a glass of each. The overbearing aroma of wine immediately filled the entire room.

Ji Yunzhong knew it was a rare wine before he drank it. He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of peach wine, and nodded: "It's purer and more delicious than the fruit wine in the palace."

I took another sip of apricot wine, and the apricot flavor was fully brought out. It was fragrant and refreshing, perfect for drinking in summer.

He picked up another cup. The shopkeeper reminded him: "Master, this is the second-grade Yanlingchun."

Ji Yunzhong took a sip and squinted his eyes unconsciously: "Good wine! Much better than the Wen family's first-grade jade wine." He couldn't wait to pick up the last glass and took a sip, and couldn't help but want to slam the table. The shopkeeper quickly protected the wine glass: "Master, be careful not to spill the wine."

Ji Yunzhong raised his arm, paused in mid-air, then put it down and praised loudly: "Good wine! It should be called the best wine in Nanchang."

Manager Yu was also a wine lover. When he was pouring the wine, his gluttony came out. He stared at the wine glass on the table, and his saliva almost flowed out: "Master, how good is it? Is it really that good?"

Ji Yunzhong glanced at him and sneered: "What a promising guy! Pour yourself a cup and have a taste!"

"Thank you, Master!" Manager Yu was overjoyed, and quickly poured a cup and drank it eagerly. Then, like the shopkeeper, he was stunned.

Department storekeeper: Look! Look! It's not that I'm useless, it's that Yanlingchun wine is too magical.

"Good wine! Good wine! Isn't this the best wine?" Manager Yu exclaimed. He was convinced after just one sip. What is Jade Fermented Wine? Compared with Yanlingchun, it can't even be called wine.

Ji Yunzhong looked at the shopkeeper and said, "How much of this wine is there at Yue's house? Tell Miss Jian that we want all of it."

The shopkeeper hesitated: "Master, Miss Jian wants to open a wine shop. I heard from Yun Zhonghe that the reason why Miss Jian wanted to brew wine was because when she went to buy wine from Wen's wine shop, Wen's wine shop shortchanged her and had a bad attitude. Miss Jian was furious and decided to brew better wine than Wen's wine shop."

Ji Yunzhong couldn't help but smile: "The Wen family's wine shop actually inspired a brewing master. I don't know whether to punish the Wen family or reward them." He thought for a while and said, "Go tell her that if she wants to compete with the Wen family, she won't be able to keep her prescription without strong support. Even with a genius doctor like Dr. Mao, she can't beat a noble family like the Wen family. What's more, the Wen family is an imperial merchant."

The shopkeeper asked tentatively: "What does the master mean?"

"If she is willing to cooperate with us, we will help her clear all obstacles."

Just after lunch, the department manager came to Yue's house.

The two old men were drunk and were sleeping soundly on the bamboo beds under the tree.

The shopkeeper handed the transferred title deed to Jian Yue and conveyed Ji Yunzhong's intention.

Jian Yue didn't expect that the master behind the shopkeeper was actually a prince. She was surprised for a moment, then calmed down.

An industry like winemaking, which is monopolized by aristocratic families, cannot be established without a strong background. But since the other party is a prince, Jian Yue has to think carefully. She doesn't know much about the royal family of Nanchang, and doesn't want to be inexplicably dragged into the vortex of the struggle for the throne.

The shopkeeper seemed to see through her thoughts and said with a smile: "Miss Jian, don't worry about anything else. My master is just an uneducated playboy outside and has long lost the chance to be the emperor. The master has no intention of that position, so Miss Jian, don't worry."

Jian Yue asked a character question: "Since your master is a playboy, does he know how to eat, drink, gamble and have sex?"

The shopkeeper said, "...Miss Jian, listen carefully. My master is a playboy to the outside world. He fights cocks and walks birds. He is idle, but he doesn't visit prostitutes or gamble."

Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Please let me think about it and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay. Miss Jane, can you sell us all your wine? You can name the price."

"No, I have to open a wine shop."

Department storekeeper: ...as expected!

In the evening, Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe sobered up. Jian Yue repeated to them what the shopkeeper had said.

Yun Zhonghe said: "We can cooperate with him. Although the Fifth Prince has a bad reputation, he is a good person."

Doctor Mao nodded: "Once your wine is released, it will cause a sensation. Without a strong protective umbrella, you won't be able to save your life, let alone the wine. Master and he are close friends, don't worry! He is a reliable person."

Jian Yue was reassured, and the next day she replied to the shopkeeper who had come to wait for news early in the morning. But she put forward a very harsh condition: "You provide the raw materials, I provide the technology, and I can brew as much wine as I want. You cannot force me, and you cannot interfere with my plans or decisions. The net profit of the brewed wine is 50-50, and I have the final say on how much wine to give you each time."

The shopkeeper twitched his lips: So we don’t have any human rights at all, right?

He did not dare to make the decision, and went back to report to Ji Yunzhong. To the surprise of the shopkeeper, his master did not even hesitate and agreed.

After the shopkeeper left, Ji Yunzhong quickly arranged his men. He sent four experts to enter Yue's house as servants and serve as bodyguards. He also sent six people to protect Yue's house from outside.

As the saying goes, a blacksmith must be strong himself, and even a tiger can take a nap sometimes. Therefore, Jian Yue should also be able to protect herself.

So, just as the department manager signed the contract with Jian Yue, the people sent by Ji Yunzhong arrived.

The people were brought by Manager Yu.

The shopkeeper introduced Manager Yu to Jian Yue. Manager Yu politely explained the purpose of their visit and added, "Don't worry, Miss Jian. They are definitely not here to steal your skills. They will only stay in the front yard during the day and only hide in various places at night to protect the house."

Jian Yue looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.

She was neither fat nor thin. Her hair was neatly combed and wrapped in a blue towel. She had a calm expression since she entered the room...
