Chapter 577 Still Has Some Gentlemanly Demeanor
To avoid any danger, she also emphasized these points to the people of the Third Prince's residence.

In one day, dozens of people filled more than a thousand jars of wine. It seemed like a lot, but it wasn't actually that much.

The farm here has some grapes, but the rest were all transported overnight by Prince Yu Ye from who-knows-where.

She thought that Prince Yu Ye was actually keeping an eye on their movements and had calculated the time they would arrive, which was why he knew when they would come back and had the grapes transported over early.

After processing all the grapes, Qi Yunran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

More than ten days later, due to the weather conditions here, the first fermentation of the wine was completed.

Qi Yunran had people learn from her how to use their homemade filter to remove all the grape skins and residue.

The liquid is bright red and has a strong fruity aroma.

This is because they haven't turned into wine yet.

Qi Yunran instructed them again to clean the wine jars thoroughly, preferably sterilizing them with boiling water, before using them.

Those who came to the Three Princes' Mansion to learn their skills all strictly followed Qi Yunran's instructions.

Sterilize all those jars with boiling water, and then wipe all the moisture out of them!

Only then was the filtered wine poured in.

Finally, the opening was sealed, because it needed to undergo a second fermentation, so people were told not to seal it tightly.

Everyone did as instructed.

The secondary fermentation of wine is a process that converts all the sugar into alcohol, which can be somewhat slow.

Qi Yunran then gave the steps to those who were learning the craft at the Three Princes' Mansion. They were told to filter the mixture again following the steps from the first time, put it into jars, and then carry out the third fermentation.

A month later, if you can smell a strong aroma of wine when you open the lid, then it's a success.

She was going to visit Aunt Sun and Ayu in Danli County.

So when they finished their work, they went to the Third Prince's residence.

They needed to inform him, and naturally, the Third Prince warmly welcomed them upon their arrival.

I heard they were going to Danlihe County and had carriages prepared, plus extra guards. They were afraid something might happen to them. This made Qi Yunran and her companions feel uneasy; it seemed the Abbasid Caliphate wasn't so peaceful after all.

Even his two older sisters are no pushovers.

After all, the Abbasid Caliphate revered military might, and the husbands of the two imperial sisters were chosen by powerful families who were also eyeing the throne.

He often gestured and spoke in court, listening to the news gathered by his secret guards.

Prince Yuye has already blocked the two princesses from visiting them several times.

I heard that the two princesses wanted to see the talents of the Prime Minister and the Virtuous Lady of Louqu Kingdom.

The emperor of the Abbasid Caliphate was not an incompetent ruler; it was just that the husbands of the two princesses were too powerful and their influence was too widespread.

By the time he discovered their ambitions, it was too late.

That's why I wanted Prince Yuye to go to Louqu Kingdom to invite Pei Yuanjun back and give him advice.

No matter how mysterious Pei Yuanjun's identity was, Prince Yu Ye was a prince of a country. Although it was difficult to find out who he was, it was still possible.

That's why he took the initiative to collaborate with Qi Yunran to open a winery in Louqu Kingdom.

His purpose was clearly to lure them to the Abbasid Caliphate, and he had long known that Pei Yuanjun and Qi Yunran were indifferent to fame and fortune.

That’s why we settled for the next best thing, cooperative business.

However, Prince Yuye knew they had no interest in officialdom, so he did not force them, showing some gentlemanly conduct.

Pei Yuanjun still acknowledged him as a friend, and Qi Yunran also understood that as long as this batch of wine sold at a high price and gained a good reputation, Prince Yuye could make a fortune.

He could then bribe those court officials with money.

Qi Yunran and Pei Yuanjun had no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Abbasid Caliphate, so they hadn't gone out these days except to work on the farm.

That's all for today's update! Thank you for your recommendation votes, my lovely readers!
