"This is home-brewed fruit wine," Yang Mengchen responded with a smile. "From now on, you can have three glasses each day, and not a drop more, especially Grandpa Kong, Grandpa Shao, and Mr. Song. If you sneak more than your share, I guarantee you'll never taste any other good wine again."
After initially purchasing the fruit, she had tried making several flavors of fruit wine and buried them in the hinterland of Dayang Mountain. The quantity wasn't large, so she didn't offer them for sale at the opening of the business.
Additionally, she brewed more than a dozen large jars of sorghum wine, which were also buried in Dayang Mountain, but as they had not aged long, their taste was naturally not very good.
The winery was now completed, and she planned to start with fruit wine brewing, proceeding to sorghum wine next year.
Moreover, next spring, she intended to find a suitable piece of land to propagate the wild grapes from the mountain and then start making wine from them. This was just her preliminary plan, and she hadn't yet informed the family.
Weichi Kong and the other two almost chorused in unison, "Three glasses a day is too little, isn't it?" For such fine wine, three glasses a day wasn't even enough to wet their teeth.
Yang Mengchen asked slowly, "So what you mean is that you don't want to drink other fine wines, right?"
The three of them looked at each other and then back at Yang Mengchen, who was calm and composed, their eyes filled with a silent plea. Unable to resist the temptation of other fine wines, they reluctantly nodded.
"Drinking in moderation can invigorate blood circulation, warm the stomach to dispel cold, and improve gastric and intestinal function," Yang Mengchen said earnestly. "But excessive drinking can lead to a decline in intelligence, liver disease, gastric disorders, and so on. I'm not stopping you from drinking, I just don't want you to damage your health."
The fruit and grape wines were still manageable, but once the sorghum wine was released next year, if Grandpa Kong and the others didn't control their intake, it would be very easy to harm their health.
Not just the three of them, but everyone else was deeply moved and grateful.
Ever since joining the Yang family, Yang Mengchen had been looking for ways to take care of their health. Now, not to say that each was as strong as an ox, but at least they were free from sickness and pain, with old ailments gradually improving or even healing. This was their good fortune.
After instructing the servants to pour each person a small glass of fruit wine, Yang Mengchen raised her cup and smiled, "I won't say much else, but I hope that everyone will always work together in unity and love, making our home even more beautiful and warm!" After saying this, she took the lead and sipped her wine.
All were profoundly touched, especially the servants, whose eyes brimmed with tears, cherishing their fondness and appreciation for this home.
Gazing at the radiant Yang Mengchen, Long Xuanmo looked at her with tender, indulgent eyes, a slight curve forming at the corner of his lips.
In the following days, Yang Mengchen led the workers in brewing fruit and sorghum wines, aiming to introduce the fruit wine before the Spring Festival.
When people from several villages and their relatives learned that the Yang family was buying large quantities of sorghum and fruit, they hastened to deliver their goods for sale, and Long Xuanmo among others sent people to buy from other places.
One day, while Yang Mengchen was instructing workers on brewing tangerine wine, Wan Qiu hurriedly ran to the winery: "Ms. Yang, Lady Luo suddenly fell ill, she has been calling for Ms. Yang, please hurry back and see her."
Yang Mengchen immediately put down her work, gave a few instructions to the steward, and ordered Hai Tang to notify Xiao Hongtao at the County Office. She then rushed home swiftly with Sister Jin and four others.
Back at Mengchen Courtyard, Old Master Luo and Grandpa Yang were sitting in the living room. After greeting them, Yang Mengchen entered Lady Xiao's room. There were still five days until the expected delivery date; otherwise, she would not have gone to the factory. Fortunately, the midwife and wet nurse had already been arranged.
The two midwives brought by Lady Luo had personally been vetted by Yang Mengchen to ensure they were reliable, and they had been living at the Yang family for ten days.
