Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

The sun gradually climbed past the zenith, and the big clock in the city of Goletia rang dutifully on the hour, and the steady and firm bell sound echoed in every corner of the city.

The door of No. 17 Cuiliu Lane was open because the owner of the house was cleaning. In order to prevent the air from being polluted by flying dust, he opened the door and windows for ventilation.

"Huh - take a break Bella, it's almost time for lunch." Hearing the bell, Lilith straightened up and wiped the sweat off her face. She had a small square scarf tied on her head, wrapping her hair up, revealing her slender neck, looking very neat.

Their little home had been uninhabited for many days, so the two of them started working early this morning, cleaning, washing, and drying quilts, and have been busy ever since.

"How about having hotpot today? As a thank you, you can tell me if there's anything else you want to eat!" Lilith waved her hand generously and began to prepare the base of the pot.

Bella also had a small square scarf tied on her head. She nodded happily when she heard that. "Thank you, Miss."

The pot quickly started to burn, and the bubbling sound sounded very soothing. The aroma of butter filled the entire first floor with the steam.

"You must be exhausted these days, right?" Lilith put a bunch of beef in Bella's bowl. The little maid's face was not as round as before. She finally relaxed completely when she got home last night. The two of them fell asleep without talking. Today, she had the energy to ask.

"I'm fine." Bella shook her head and told Lilith about her experiences over the past few days. "After you were taken away, Lady Mary immediately packed her luggage and took me to Tanding County. I hope the Viscount can come forward to rescue you."

"But Butler Hoffman wouldn't let us set foot in Friar Manor. He, he said the Viscount didn't have time to see us, and we wasted a lot of time there..." Bella sniffed in frustration, not sure if it was because of the spicy food.

"Lady Mary originally wanted to continue to go to Dragonfang Castle with me to find the lady, but Dragonfang Castle is too far away, so I asked Lady Mary to go back first, and I used the slug flower to teleport back from Gloria." Bella shuddered and thought of the weird and disgusting feeling during the teleportation.

"Before I left, I thought maybe I could ask for help from the young lady's school, and then I met the dark-haired gentleman by the lake. He said he could help and asked me to go home and wait... Ah, did you send a letter to Lady Mary?"

Lilith's eyes turned red and her nose was a little blocked after listening to this. She nodded and said, "I sent it out last night to report that I'm safe. Thank you, Bella, for your hard work. You're really amazing!" She actually thought of contacting the school for help. Ever since Bella started school, perhaps because she had more dealings with others, Lilith really felt that Bella's mind was becoming more and more flexible, and her speech was becoming more and more fluent and logical.

Bella lowered her head in embarrassment at her praise.

But Lilith was eating her rice bowl while thinking, that cheap father is even worse than she thought, taking advantage of Melissa's absence to do whatever he wants, maybe he wants to stay in jail forever? Poor Mary, she still doesn't understand that her cheap father is not trustworthy at all.

She poked the meat in the bowl in annoyance, thought for a while, and suddenly announced loudly, "Bella, I want to make money!" She decided that she had to make money on her own, otherwise she would not have the courage to scold others while spending the viscount's money!

"Ah?" Bella looked up in confusion, "Miss, do we have no money?" Will there be meat to eat in the future?

"No, no, there are plenty, don't worry about it!" Lilith explained hurriedly, "I just think I can make some money on my own, so I don't need the support of the Friar family every year." Although the brewery is profitable now, it is just playing house with old Denbigh.

Humph, she wanted to become bigger and stronger! That way she wouldn't be at risk of being controlled by him in the future.

"I think the research on distilled liquor can continue. I want to make the Shelley family's distillery better. After all, it is the industry left to me by my mother and grandfather."

"Ah? Miss, are you still going to make your own wine?" Bella was so excited that she didn't expect that the lady would continue her wine-making business. She thought it was just a game that the lady used to kill time in Shelley Town. After all, in the end, all she made was a bunch of white-haired balls.

Lilith took out a bunch of white balls from the ring. These were the koji she made when she was in Shelley Town. With the koji, she would save a lot of time when making distilled liquor. Besides, koji was easy to make and she could do it herself. As long as she kept her mouth shut, it would be her unique secret recipe.

"Okay. I've thought about it. Let's continue the experiment!" While she was thinking about how to make the simple distillation facility in her mind, she instructed Bella to order food.

After entering the prison, her mind was opened. Since magic could not be used for people's livelihood in the Gaia Empire, why not open the winery in Goletia? She could also use the magic pattern as a cooling device for the distillation equipment. Anyway, she had no place to use her magic stone, so it was just a stone that took up space for her.

Lilith did what she said, and she became busy in the following days. In addition to practicing swordsmanship every day, she also worked on her several large buckets of sorghum and wheat. When the seniors returned one after another and there were more young people on the street, Lilith's grain was finally fermented, and she and Bella worked together to put it in the boiler.

The crude distillation equipment was made by Lilith herself. It consisted of a large wooden barrel placed on top of a grain barrel. The bottom was roughly dug out and an iron pot was turned upside down. It was filled with ice cubes that Lilith had stored over the past few days for condensation. Lilith and Bella squatted together with their heads touching, staring at the tube extending from the side of the barrel.

"Plop-plop--" water drops splashed into the empty bucket under the pipe, and Bella excitedly grabbed Lilith's arm.

"Don't be in a hurry." Lilith patted Bella's hand. She remembered that one should not drink the beginning or the end of the wine because the methanol content was too high and it was bad for the body.

When Bella's legs were numb from squatting, Lilith finally moved the bucket away and replaced it with a new bottle to catch the wine. She caught a few drops with her hand and put them in her mouth to taste it -

The next second she revealed a mask of pain.

"Ms. Lilith..." Bella felt that there was no hope after seeing this expression, but she still asked without giving up, "Is it hard to drink?"

Lilith nodded heavily, "It tastes terrible."

"Ah..." Bella was stunned. This time they wasted more food than in Shelley Town. She and Miss Lilith were afraid that they would not be able to enter the kingdom of the God of Light after they died.

"But there is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"good news!"

"The good news is, you're going to get a raise, Bella. We succeeded." Lilith hissed and stuck out her tongue. It was really spicy. She really thought it tasted bad because Lilith never liked to drink.

"Ah?!" Bella stood up, "Okay, it worked?!" She reacted and pulled Lilith to jump up and down, "That's great Miss Lilith, your attempts these days have not been in vain."

Lilith pinched Bella's cheek lovingly and said gently -

"The bad news is, you can start taking math classes now. I need an accountant."
