The Transmigrated Farm Girl Has a Cheat Code

Chapter 120 Composition

Whether it was the exhaustion of the journey or the soft comfort of the mattress beneath her, Quan Wenxue finally felt more at ease and slept very soundly that night.

The next day at dawn, she heard noises outside and groggily opened her eyes.

"Hey, come eat!"

"Lin Yu! Don't let it trample my herbs!!!"

Li Zhongwei saw Bu Huang rolling around in his herb garden, put his hands on his hips and roared.

Lin Yu stuck out his tongue and picked up Bu Huang, "Hehe! Sorry, Dr. Li, I'll take him away right away!"

Lin Yu turned around while holding Bu Huang and saw a gentle young girl standing behind him, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Hey? You must be Sister Wenxue!"

Quan Wenxue smiled and nodded. "Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Yu!"

Lin Yu, Quan Wenxue thought, "He shares the same surname as Lin Yan, so he must be a child of this family."

"Let's go get breakfast! I can smell it! They must have it ready!"

Lin Yu led Quan Wenxue to the front yard, where everyone had indeed gathered. Because there were so many people, two tables were set up.

After breakfast, everyone got to know each other.

Lin's mother held Quan Wenxue's hand, clearly delighted. She then discussed her experience raising a daughter with Madam Quan.

"So it turns out that Miss Lin was the one who started this winery business! That's really unexpected!"

Quan Sinian finally understood what had happened; no wonder they had arranged for them to stay here. He had thought the business belonged to Fu Bo, which had puzzled him.

However, it's unclear how Lin Yan came to know the Seventh Prince, considering how far away this place is from the capital.

Moreover, she even has a doctor in her family. Is this something a village household should have?

What puzzled him most were the young master Huai'an and those two men.

Young Master Huai'an exuded an air of nobility, clearly not an ordinary person. His attendant, with his high eyebrows and prominent nose, seemed to be...

"Could it be that the person the Seventh Prince knows is not Lin Yan, but this Young Master Huai'an?" Quan Sinian pondered for a moment, but knowing that this matter was of great importance, he did not ask.

Quan Rongxing didn't think that much; his mind was full of the brewing recipe he had seen yesterday.

When Fu Bo arrived, he followed them on a tour of the distillery. The distillery was basically completed, with only some equipment missing. Quan Rongxing inspected it and gave his opinions.

Fu Bo then sent someone to procure the necessary items.

Quan Rongxing then raised his question, "Miss Lin? How was the plum wine you sold made? I found it strange; it didn't seem like it was brewed directly!"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "As expected of an expert, this really can't be considered brewed wine; it's more like distilled wine!"

"Distillation?" Quan Rongxing frowned, and Quan Sinian also looked puzzled.

Lin Yan showed the group her distillation equipment and explained the principles behind it. Quan Rongxing looked excited.

"I see! There's another way! With this method, there are so many kinds of wine we can try!"

"And as Lin Yan wrote in her book, you can try distilling beer made from malt and sugarcane wine made from sugarcane!"

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thinking: There really are distilled products. Beer distillation produces whiskey, and sugarcane wine distillation produces rum. He's truly a master; an expert's divergent thinking is quite remarkable.

With a plan in mind, Quan Rongxing began writing down the necessary raw materials, such as rice, millet, and wheat, and asked Fu Bo to purchase them.

"It's a pity we can't buy malt now, otherwise we would definitely want to try that beer!" Quan Rongxing said with some regret.

"No rush, we can try it slowly!" Lin Yan comforted her.

Fu Bo asked Quan Rongxing, "Master Quan, what kind of alcohol should we start with?"

"Well, there's no rush in brewing. Let's start with making the koji (fermentation starter)! And we also need to condition the cellar!"

"Making koji? Nurturing the cellar?" Fu Bo and Lin Yan asked in unison.

"The quality of the koji (fermentation starter) directly affects the final result of your winemaking process. Different wines require different koji for brewing! The same goes for the cellar mud; if you want high-quality wine, the cellar mud must be of good quality. This is what is meant by 'good cellars and good koji produce good wine.'"

Fu Bo blinked and looked at Lin Yan: "It was definitely the right decision to ask our master for help! Otherwise, neither of us would have understood!"

Lin Yan nodded in complete agreement.

…………

Once all the materials and tools were ready, Lin Yan and Fu Bo began recruiting workers. Fu Bo first brought a trustworthy manager from his side.

Then Lin Yan specifically sought out Zhang Peng, whom she had previously hired when her family built their house. This man was quick-witted and perfect for purchasing and other such tasks.

Then there's Li Ping, who's very strong. Master Quan noticed him when he was supervising the moving of equipment to the distillery, saying that he was good at treading yeast and that he should be kept.

Lin Yan found other workers directly in the village. Anyway, no one would refuse a job that is close to home and stable.

Xiaocao's older brother Li Dashu, as well as Zhang Qingfeng, Li Yulin, and Lin Baojin and Lin Baoquan from Lin Si's grandfather's family, are all acquaintances and reliable people.

When the villagers heard that a new distillery had been built and was hiring workers, they all came to inquire.

Fortunately, this was Fu Bo's business to outsiders; otherwise, Lin Yan's family would have been bombarded with requests from the village elders, making it difficult to refuse.

"Hey boss, look how strong my husband is! Don't worry, we'll definitely get it done for you!"

"Don't worry, boss! We think he's an honest and upright person!"

"My son is so smart! He learns everything so quickly!"

"boss!"

"Boss, look at me..."

Because she was on the second floor, Lin Yan could see the situation at the winery not far away from her room by opening the window. When she saw Fu Bo and Quan Sinian being surrounded by a group of people and unable to cope, she couldn't help but laugh and marveled at her foresight.

Lin's father came out to watch the excitement, leaning on his cane. In reality, he was itching to get out and do some work. He had been cooped up inside for too long.

However, Lin's mother kept an eye on him and wouldn't let him move around too much.

It's so lively outside, so we just took him to the entrance to see what was going on.

Chen Feng and Chen Shuo have good hearing; they can hear sounds outside even from inside the house.

Chen Shuo sighed, "Sigh!"

"What are you doing?" Chen Feng glanced at him.

"It's so lively! I suddenly realize that living here is actually quite nice, so comfortable! It's a pity we have to leave soon!"

Chen Feng chuckled, "If you're reluctant, then leave yourself with Lin Yan to do the work!"

Chen Shuo immediately lost his composure and glared at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng smiled, then sighed.

Today, Lin Yu is on leave, and Xiao Jingzhi is in the study giving him lectures and testing his knowledge.

"Your progress is pretty good. At least you've finished the Four Books. In the next month, we'll cover as much of the Five Classics as we can. You have good comprehension and a sharp mind. If you study diligently, you should have no problem passing the county exam next year."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was taken aback. "A month? Young Master Xiao, are you leaving?"

Xiao Jingzhi looked out the window at the vibrant courtyard and nodded. "It'll be soon."

Lin Yu was somewhat reluctant to let him go, but he knew that Xiao Jingzhi was only here to recuperate and wouldn't be staying long anyway. Besides, he definitely had more important things to do, so he didn't feel comfortable trying to persuade him otherwise.
