The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 153 New Wine

Lin Yu saw the Chongming Wine that Ding Haoyu mentioned the day after he arrived, but he didn't pay much attention to it at first.

But when he saw the wine jar and the four characters "Forget-Worry Wine Shop" on it, he finally realized that this was what Lin Yan and the others were selling.

"So it's already brewed?" Lin Yu's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Ding Haoyu opened the wine jar, and a rich aroma of wine spread out. Ma Xiaoyang took a deep breath.

"Good wine!"

"Quick, try some." Ding Haoyu took out several small porcelain bowls, which were very exquisite. He poured four bowls of wine and distributed them to the group.

Ma Xiaoyang didn't need to offer him a bowl; he took one without asking.

Lin Ting didn't want it at first, but looking at the bowl in front of her, she twitched her nose and accepted it.

Lin Yu also wanted to try the wine brewed by Lin Yan and the others, and he did not refuse.

However, Lin Yu was a little worried because they only rested for an hour at noon.

"We won't get drunk, will we? How about we drink again tonight?"

Ma Xiaoyang didn't take it seriously. "It's not that easy to get drunk. I can drink a whole jar of wine and not get drunk. But if you've never drunk alcohol before, Ayu, drink less."

The wines that the people of Daliang usually drink are not very strong, and even if they don't have a high alcohol tolerance, they won't get drunk after just one bowl.

Lin Ting held the wine in his hand and smelled it. The porcelain bowl was brought over by Ding Haoyu. The delicate white porcelain was translucent through the clear wine, which had a rich aroma.

Ma Xiaoyang and Ding Haoyu both drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Yu tasted a bowl of Lin Yan's plum wine and was indeed not drunk, but he still drank it in small sips.

"Wow, this is indeed good wine!" Ma Xiaoyang sighed.

"That's right, this wine costs two taels of silver a jar," Ding Haoyu said. This jar of wine had almost used up all of his allowance for the month.

Ma Xiaoyang wasn't surprised at all. "What's so strange about that?" he said. "You don't know? My uncle told me that there's a famous wine in the capital that's said to make even immortals drunk. It costs five taels of silver a jar."

Two taels? Five taels?! Lin Ting swallowed hard, looking at the empty wine bowl, marveling at how rich people could spend several taels of silver to buy a small jar of wine; that money would be enough for him to live on for a year.

He put down his wine bowl, declined Ding Haoyu's next drink, and didn't ask for any more.

Lin Yu blinked upon hearing this, but remained silent.

I thought to myself: Wow, it's so dark! It's really dark!

Ding Haoyu and Ma Xiaoyang enjoyed the drink and had a few more bowls.

The result of failing to recognize the facts was that all four of them missed class.

They underestimated the alcohol's strength; Lin Yu and Lin Ting, who don't drink often, were intoxicated after just one bowl.

He was fast asleep in the dormitory.

Ding Haoyu and Ma Xiaoyang had a better alcohol tolerance, but unfortunately they drank too much and got increasingly tipsy. In the end, they finished the whole jar and lay sprawled on the bed.

When the teacher started class in the afternoon, he found that several people were missing. Upon asking, he discovered that the four missing students were from the same dormitory.

He could only frown and go to the schoolhouse to look for the person. As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he smelled a lingering aroma of wine and saw four students fast asleep.

The master's forehead twitched, and he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

"Get up, all of you!!!"

…………

Lin Yu was made to stand as punishment.

Although he was a good student, the instructor was genuinely angry this time.

At least they weren't sent home, which relieved Lin Yu. Let them stand there as punishment.

I'll definitely be laughed at when I get home.

Lin Yu glanced at the person standing next to him; Lin Ting was nodding and was about to fall asleep.

Why is there only one person?

Because the other two people were still asleep, the instructor couldn't wake Ma Xiaoyang even after several slaps.

They were furious with Ding Haoyu for talking nonsense, and they didn't know how to punish them.

Lin Yu could only offer his sympathy and condolences for the two people's future lives.

.........

Lin Yan was unaware that her younger brother had caused a commotion over a jar of wine.

She was too busy with business. Fu Bo and Quan Sinian came back, and they had sold out of all their wine. She had thought it would be difficult.

Who knew that just by setting up a stall and letting people taste the plum wine, their reputation spread, and people even asked them what their relationship was with the Lin family winery that sold plum wine.

Individuals can only buy so much wine; most of it is distributed among various households and restaurants.

Holding the newly earned, still-warm three thousand taels of silver notes, Fu Bo went home in glory.

Seeing his son's business succeed, Master Fu was in a good mood every day.

Meanwhile, Quan Rongxing, who works at the distillery, also stepped up its efforts, opening jars of sugarcane wine and potato wine one after another.

Sugarcane wine is sweet and refreshing with a slightly spicy taste, while potato wine is mellow and elegant with a rich flavor.

The reason why Quan Rongxing tried these two first was partly due to the limitation of raw materials, as there were not many fruits available in winter, and partly because Lin Yan had a method for distilling liquor, which could be used for both types of liquor.

As soon as the new wine was opened, Quan Rongxing couldn't wait to start distilling it. The sugarcane distilled wine had a fruity aroma and a spicy and stimulating taste. The potato wine, after distillation, had a simple and refreshing taste, but was also hot and spicy.

Quan Rongxing excitedly approached Lin Yan and said, "This is simply a huge advancement in brewing technology. With distillation, we can try to make many different flavors of wine."

He was confident that these wines could change the entire brewing industry, and he was increasingly looking forward to returning to the capital and giving Quan Rongzhi a good slap in the face.

Quan Rongxing thought for a moment and said, "This liquor is very strong, not only in terms of concentration, but also in terms of taste. However, some people will really like this taste."

Lin Yan nodded. Everyone has different tastes and preferences for alcohol. Some people like it refreshing, while others prefer it strong. Some like it mild, while others prefer it spicy.

"However, what would be a good name for these two distilled spirits?"

Lin Yan blinked, then remembered that this wine actually did have a name.

Sugarcane liquor is distilled to become rum, and potato liquor is distilled to become vodka.

However, using such a transliterated name in this era seems rather strange.

"This liquor is called rum and vodka..." Lin Yan said uncertainly.

"Wolf Mother Wine? Ford's?" Master Quan was bewildered. "How strange, is this the original name of this wine? Why is it called that?"

"Hey! You could change their names." Lin Yan quickly changed the subject.

Quan Rongxing lowered his head and pondered for a while, "Since this wine is made from sugarcane, it has the sweet aroma of sugarcane and a hot and spicy taste, like fireworks, so let's call it Sugarcane Flame Wine!"

"As for this..." Quan Rongxing looked at the vodka again, "This liquor is made from potatoes, and has a rich and mellow taste, so let's call it Chenshu Liquor."

Lin Yan nodded without any objection. In any case, she didn't have much literary talent, so she decided not to offer any opinion.

And so, Quan Rongxing settled on the names, and the sugarcane wine, potato wine, sugarcane flame wine, and aged potato wine went on sale at the Forget-Worry Wine Shop.

Fu Bo and Quan Sinian, who had just returned home: (◎_◎；)

"Time to go out and do business again..."
