"Uncle, don't worry, wait for me to catch my breath, it's so hot!" Sitting on the edge of the bamboo bed, he received a sweat towel from Da Huang and wiped off the sweat on his face. "Grandma Liu, do you have any water? Give me a cup, like the one I drank last time I was here."

"Sure, let me pour it for you," Grandma Liu said cheerfully. This child, he drank the water from home only once and he missed it.

"Grandma, I'll do it!" Liu Yusheng crawled out of the bed, looking at her family who walked into the hall behind him, and glared at Qian Wanjin. This young master's affliction – he has the nerve to order her grandma about! She would add him to her black list!

Qian Wanguin was baffled. How did he offend her? He was just asking for a drink. Why was she glaring at him?

Little devil!

After the little girl handed him the cup water, he was struck with a mean thought and raised a hand to pull her pigtails, but Liu Yusheng slapped his hand away.

Immediately, the mood under Liu Yusheng's eyes changed imperceptibly. With his hands hanging on his sides, she twisted her fingertips lightly and retreated to the side, looking thoughtfully at Qian Wanjin.

After drinking a cup of water and feeling comfortable all over, Qian Wanyin then looked at the Liu family gathered around with a smile.

"Grandpa Liu, Grandma Liu, Uncle, the fruit wine we shipped out from you sold so well in the market that we're in short supply. It shows that your family's craftsmanship is really good! But my Qian family's business covers the whole of Nanling, even if everyone in your family works together, you won't be able to keep up with the demand. I was thinking, why don't you sell me this secret recipe for making fruit wine? I'll not treat you badly in terms of price, enough to make your family a rich landlord in the entire Xiangshan County. What do you think?"

"You want to buy the secret recipe?" Grandma Liu was appalled and exchanged looks with her family.

"Yes, Grandmother Liu, I'll pay 50,000 taels. You can sell fruit wine for 20 years with this amount of money. Now, you just have to give me the secret recipe, I'll give you the silver bills right away. You'll also save yourself from fatigue. In the future, take this money to buy houses and lands in Xiangshan County, and live the life of the rich!"

50,000 taels was an astronomical sum of money to rural folks who have never seen the world, and even to the rich country households.

How could they not be impressed?

After their initial surprise, however, the Liu family wasn't overjoyed as Qian Wanjin had expected.

Grandpa Liu pondered for a moment, and said, "Uhm… Young Boss, it's not that we refuse to sell you the recipe, but this wine is actually something my granddaughter fiddled with. Forget about Nannan's young age, she's got great ideas. Whether she wants to sell it to you, it's her final say."

Qian Wanjin was secretly shocked. This little girl came up with it? Is she still capable of that? She's only three, isn't she?

Seeing the suspicion in the second generation ancestor's eyes, Liu Yusheng smiled, "Your Boss, I can give you the secret recipe without charging you a cent, but even if you have it, you won't be able to brew the same taste as my Liu family would. Are you sure you want it?"
