Looking at the 70 to 80 kilograms of sorghum in front of her, Wen Liuli's eyes suddenly lit up. She had never brewed wine before, but she knew the process.

"I've heard that three pounds of sorghum can make one pound of wine, but I don't know how much wine can be made from this sorghum."

"Madam, you can also make wine."

Seeing the tools filling the entire yard, Cuizhu couldn't help but sigh. The lady was really versatile and seemed to be able to do everything.

She knows medicine, cooking, and furniture tinkering. Apart from some strange things, she can even make wine. I really don't know what else the lady can't do.

"Maybe. Let's give it a try."

Grabbing a handful of sorghum and smelling it in his hand, Wen Liuli replied with a smile.

"Cuizhu, help me wash these sorghums first."

"Okay, ma'am!"

Perhaps because she has been with Wen Liuli for a long time, Cuizhu also likes to do things that have nothing to do with Wen Liuli's daily life.

As the master's personal maid, Cuizhu's status is like that of the head maid. She is usually only responsible for Wen Liuli's daily life, and chores like these can be left to other people.

But Cuizhu never used her status to bully others. Perhaps it was because she had suffered a lot since childhood, she was not used to the life of eating, drinking and having fun with Wen Liuli. The most important thing was that Wen Liuli hardly let her do any service. Except for running errands and delivering messages occasionally, she lived like a master even more than the master.

So usually when Wen Liuli asked her to do something, she would do it herself. On the one hand, it was to find something to do for herself, and on the other hand, she was curious about the new things Wen Liuli was going to tinker with.

Wine is not a rare thing in the world of immortality. Basically, ordinary people can drink a few glasses occasionally, but for some reason, Cuizhu always has a feeling that the wine brewed by Wen Liuli is definitely better than the wine available on the market.

It may even be better than the royal nectar.

Following Wen Liuli's instructions, Cuizhu and other palace maids washed and cooked the dozens of kilograms of sorghum, then poured in the koji and stirred it evenly, and finally poured it into the jar to ferment.

I have to say, these dozens of kilograms of sorghum are quite a lot, filling up several large jars.

The fermentation of the koji would take some time, and Wen Liuli also thought that it took up too much space, so he ordered people to move the jars to the warehouse, and wait for a while until the fermentation was complete before moving them out to steam the wine.

Watching this process, Wen Liuli felt a little uneasy. Brewing wine is not like cooking. If it fails, it will waste a lot of materials and time.

She had only seen the brewing method occasionally when watching videos before, but had never tried it herself and didn't know if she could succeed.

If successful, perhaps it will become a way of making a living in the future.

According to her estimation, the average alcohol content of Donghuang's wine is definitely no more than 20 degrees, and the taste is extremely bland. Even she, who doesn't like wine, finds it disgusting.

"Ma'am, how long will this last?"

After packing up, it was almost evening. Cuizhu ran to Wen Liuli and asked curiously.

If it were any other master, Cuizhu would naturally not dare to say too much, but it was different for Wen Liuli. During the time that he was with her, Cuizhu found that Wen Liuli was really easy to get along with.

It can even be said that Wen Liuli never treated her as a servant on weekdays. Instead, he treated her like a friend, with whom he could talk about anything.

Whenever Cuizhu had any questions, she would take the initiative to ask Wen Liuli, and Wen Liuli would usually tell her everything he knew.

"About ten days or half a month. By the time His Highness comes back, it should be ready for drinking."

"Ah! It takes so long!"

Hearing this, Cuizhu showed a hint of disappointment on her face. She thought she would be able to drink it right away, but it didn't expect it to take so long. She was happy for so long in vain.

"Haha, fermentation takes time. Don't you understand that wine becomes more fragrant as it ages?"

"Yes."

"Okay, what's for dinner tonight?"

Waving his hand, Wen Liuli did not continue talking about winemaking. Instead, he saw that it was time for dinner and his stomach began to growl.

After a busy afternoon, she was already hungry as a foodie. However, when she came to the dining table and saw the food brought in from the imperial kitchen, her pretty face suddenly darkened.

"Um... Madam, I'll ask them to take it away right away."

When Cuizhu saw what was on the table, her heart skipped a beat. She had actually forgotten to tell her wife not to eat fish, but the imperial kitchen actually brought up a plate of fish tonight.

After all, he had just arrived at the palace, and the imperial kitchen was not as good as the kitchen of Prince Wu's mansion, so he was not very familiar with Wen Liuli's taste.

Of course, the fish served in the imperial kitchen was no ordinary item. It was a real big sturgeon. If it were placed outside, ordinary people might never be able to eat it in their entire lives.

"Forget it. This sturgeon must have been hard to come by. It would be a pity to take it back. You can keep it and eat it."

After a long time, Wen Liuli sighed. She didn't mean to blame anyone. After all, ignorance is not a crime. Why should she blame others when she caused the trouble herself?

"What do you want to eat, ma'am?"

Hearing Wen Liuli's words, Cuizhu couldn't help but curl her lips. She didn't know why the lady didn't like to eat fish. Anyway, such food had never appeared on the dining table of Prince Wu's Mansion.

Looking at the food on the table in front of me, except for the fish, the rest are some light vegetarian dishes. I can't let my wife eat these things, right?

"I just need to eat some vegetarian food and eat less for dinner, which can help me lose weight."

Wen Liuli didn't think much about this. It was just not a big deal if he didn't eat meat for one meal.

But when Cuizhu heard these words, she almost cried. It was all her fault. She was careless in her daily life and didn't even tell the lady about her taste, which led to the imperial kitchen cooking this fish.

"Okay, sit down and eat together. It would be a waste to leave the fish here without eating it."

As he spoke, Wen Liuli had already picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of vegetarian dish with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Wen Liuli often asked Cuizhu to eat at the same table with her, so Cuizhu didn't have any big grudge about this matter. But seeing that Wen Liuli could only eat some simple vegetable leaves, Cuizhu felt very uncomfortable.

Obviously, Wen Liuli had to rely on a few plates of vegetarian dishes for dinner, while Cuizhu ate delicacies that she had never dared to imagine.

Nothing happened that night. Cuizhu got up early the next morning and came to the imperial kitchen before Wen Liuli woke up.

Cuizhu didn't sleep well last night because of the fish incident. She felt full of guilt and blamed herself for being careless and causing her wife to have only vegetarian food to eat.

You know, the Madam’s favorite thing on a daily basis is food. Have you ever seen her eating only vegetarian food?

After learning about this, the chefs in the imperial kitchen were shocked and immediately knelt down.

Generally speaking, they are also responsible for this matter, because usually they have to inquire about the eating habits of the masters in the palace. Unfortunately, Wen Liuli was temporarily staying in the palace, and for a while they forgot to ask about related matters.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so afraid. After all, who doesn't have some background in this palace?

Not to mention a princess, even His Majesty's concubines, he usually doesn't dare to be too harsh on them.

But this princess happened to be Princess Wu, a person even the Queen had to obey.

If you offend Princess Wu, even if you have ten heads on your neck, they won't be enough to chop off.

In the Eastern Wilderness, King Martial Tang Tianyu is such a special existence, and naturally no one dares to look down on his queen.

"It's my fault for not explaining this matter clearly to you. Don't take it too seriously. My wife doesn't mean to blame you. Just be more careful next time."

"Thank you, sister. Does the princess have any favorite food?"

Hearing Cuizhu's words, the chefs immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of making amends, someone quickly opened his mouth and asked.

"Favorite food? Uh... Madam seems to eat everything except fish. She loves everything."

Hearing this, Cuizhu frowned and thought carefully. It seemed that Wen Liuli was really not picky about food. Except for fish, he ate everything and dared to eat everything.

"what?"

When the chefs heard this, they were confused and they knew that their idea of making amends had failed.

But even so, they planned to put some effort into Wen Liuli's meal at noon, not seeking to gain any merit, but only to avoid making any mistakes.

After leaving the imperial kitchen, Cuizhu went to the Fashion Bureau again and gave a brief explanation of Wen Liuli's dressing habits, fearing that she might give Wen Liuli something fancy and make him unhappy.

With the fish from yesterday, Cuizhu started to be more careful in doing things. She realized that she might have been too presumptuous in the past few days and had forgotten that she was a servant, causing Wen Liuli to be unhappy even when eating in the palace.

When she returned to Taiyin Palace again, Wen Liuli was already dressed and walked out of the house.

"Where have you been so early in the morning?"

Seeing Cuizhu's hurried look, Wen Liuli couldn't help but frown. She didn't eat enough last night, so she got up extra early today, obviously because she was woken up by hunger.

But under normal circumstances, no matter how early she got up, Cuizhu would be the first to come into the house to help her fetch water for washing. But today was a little strange. No one knew where Cuizhu had gone so early in the morning, and even the water for washing her face had to be fetched by the palace maid.

"I went to the imperial kitchen and failed to serve Madam in time to atone for my sin."

"Uh...it's okay, hurry up and get me something to eat, I'm starving."

After hearing Cuizhu's words, Wen Liuli immediately understood. He thought that it was because of his picky eating habits that this girl felt guilty about. It was not a big deal.

You won't starve to death if you skip a meal, so there's no need to cause trouble for the imperial kitchen so early in the morning.

"Yes!"

After hearing Wen Liuli's words, Cuizhu finally realized that it was indeed time for breakfast, so she immediately ordered someone to bring breakfast.
