"That's right, how many times have our two villages quarreled before? With old grudges, would Xinghua villagers ever look kindly on us? Chief, I think we should gather our people together. Doesn't that young nobleman want to build a winery? We can build one in Xiapo Village, too. We can also clear a space by the Qinghe River! As long as he comes, we'll give him more benefits. I don't believe he'll settle in Xinghua Village without moving his nest!"

"Right! Let's lure him over, who doesn't want to make money? I don't believe it, our Xiapo Villagers are inferior to those two idiots in Xinghua Village."

Villagers spoke one after the other, and the more spoke, the more they thought it that way.

An Cai closed his eyes fiercely and snapped, "Shut up, all of you! Are you all dreaming? Lure him? Who are we to lure? They opened a winery in Xinghua Village because someone made fruit wine! Who in our village knows how to do that? Who's got the skill? Do you have it? Do you have it? What about you?"

The villagers were speechless when asked.

This objective factor was deliberately overlooked in a moment of glibness.

No one wanted to admit it, because once they did, they would have to bow to the fact that their village was inferior to others.

In the future, others would get better and better off, while they in Xiapo Village could just sit back and watch!

"What should we do now? Are we just going to let Xinghua Village progress?" A villager cursed irritably, "Damn it, Xinghua Village is just dumb lucky! Why isn't there anything good in our village?"

"There's a Blessed Baby in Xinghua Village, how can we compare? Can we snatch that baby?" Another villager muttered.

The truth, at once, brought the whole house to silence.

Village Chief, An Cai merely leaned against the wall, his eyes squinting and half-lidded, thinking to himself. His bright and clear eyes turned obscure and cold.

"Does that Blessed Baby go to the foot of Luofu Mountain every day?"

The villagers froze, and someone replied, "Yes, we often see that baby when we're working in the field every day. I heard that she goes to a hut at the foot of the mountain daily to learn something from a mother and son who lived there. I haven't paid attention to what she's learning."

An Cai raised his cold eyes, he scanned everyone in the room. "I heard that the fruit wine was her brainchild. After it was purchased, it was transported directly to the capital for the enjoyment of the nobles there. You can imagine how valuable the fruit wine is. If we can get the secret recipe from her, our village will have a chance to turn over a new leaf! The secret recipe is equal to an endless stream of silver."

After a pause, he shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, that Blessed Baby is from Xinghua Village. How can she tell us the secret recipe? We can only think about it. Alright, let's all disperse. There's no use staying in my house, I'm just the chief of Xiapo Village. I can't interfere with the affairs of Xinghua Village, let alone their villagers. Be gone, disperse."

After driving the people out of the house, An Cai closed the courtyard door, and when he turned around, the look in his eyes passing outside the door was chilly.

The villagers scattered temporarily, but their hearts couldn't calm down from the Village Chief's words.

The secret recipe… If one could obtain the secret recipe and brew wine to sell to the capital, that would be a step to the top! Where was the need to live miserably in the village?
