Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 696 Improvement
Leaving the Zhao residence, a great weight was lifted from my heart.

Although 300,000 jin need to be returned in 18 days, according to the normal cycle, there should be no problem in harvesting 300,000 jin of grain in the space in 18 days.

Tang Wan quickened her pace and headed straight for the Yu residence.

Yes, the Yu family still has matters to discuss. Last time, Tang Wan also traded grain for the strong liquor.

Fortunately, there was no requirement to repay in January, and the amount owed was not much.

She still has time.

Today I'm going to deliver the brewing recipe I mentioned last time.

“Master Yu, Young Master Yu,” Tang Wan said, getting straight to the point, taking out an antique scroll from her sleeve. “This is the recipe for a new high-proof liquor that I promised Young Master Yu.”

It details the improved cooking, fermentation, and distillation processes, which should enhance the strength and purity of the resulting spirit.

This is an improved recipe, and it's quite valuable.

Young Master Yu's eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the scroll. After a moment, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wonderful! Master's prescription is indeed exquisite! Thank you, Master!"

"Young Master Yu, you're too kind. This is the recipe I promised you last time, and it's what you deserve," Tang Wan said with a smile. Then she brought out another piece of good news, "In addition, regarding the sorghum we mentioned before, we expect to receive about 10,000 catties of high-quality sorghum rice in about six days. This 10,000 catties is on me. I'll give it to your distillery to try out the new recipe first, as a token of my sincerity for this cooperation."

"Ten thousand catties?" Master Yu and Young Master Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the joy in each other's eyes.

Although 10,000 jin is not much for large-scale brewing, it is a timely help for testing new recipes and adjusting processes!

This greatly alleviated their anxiety while waiting for new raw materials.

"Excellent!" Master Yu clapped his hands and laughed. "Master, you are truly decisive and efficient! In six days, I will have the steward personally lead men to your residence to collect the grain! If this new recipe, combined with the young lady's sorghum, can indeed brew excellent wine, the Yu family will certainly give its full support for any future cooperation!"

The entire Yu household breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became lively, thanks to the upcoming arrival of 10,000 catties of sorghum and the new prescription.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Tang Wan then explained her predicament: "I'm afraid the grain I owe your family will have to be repaid next month."

The Yu father and son exchanged a glance, and the old man replied with a smile, "Since the master has said so, then of course it is possible. With 10,000 catties of grain, we can hold on for a while longer."

And so, the host and guests got along well and looked forward to the future together.

The next day was the day we had agreed to meet Huang Ying.

Tang Wan got up early and personally cooked in the space kitchen, using flour, eggs, spiritual spring water and fruit produced in the space to carefully make several small and exquisite pastries and refreshing snacks.

When Huang Ying arrived excitedly with her maid, she was immediately drawn to the tempting pastries on the table and the dolls that Tang Jing had sewn herself.

The doll was a cute, round, brown puppy that Tang Wan had drawn herself and asked her sister Tang Jing to sew.
The puppy is made of soft cotton and linen fabric with fine stitches. Its shiny black button eyes are bright and intelligent, and a small silver bell is tied around its neck with a ribbon of the same color. It is so lifelike and cute.

"Wow! What an adorable little puppy!" Huang Ying exclaimed in delight, hugging the plush toy tightly in her arms.

Huang Ying shook the little silver bell, listening to its clear tinkling sound, and said with a smile, "Sister Wan, is this my gift? Sister Jing's craftsmanship is so good! I like it so much!"

Huang Ying looked at the puppy from left to right, her joy evident in her eyes.

"I'm glad you like it." Tang Jing smiled gently from the side. "Wan'er's drawing is cute, I'll just sew it according to the drawing."

"Thank you, Sister Jing! Thank you, Sister Wan!" Huang Ying said happily, and immediately named the puppy "Dou Ding'er".

Actually, Tang Wan hesitated for a moment when preparing the invitation list.

Tang Wan was considering whether to invite the two young girls, Luo Yun and Luo Qi. They had been invited to visit the Tang family before because the Luo family was staying at the Tang family's house. However, ever since Wu Shi spread rumors and incited the villagers to storm Taoyuan, Tang Wan had harbored resentment towards the Luo family.

Although the culprit was the Wu family, and it might not be directly related to these two unmarried young ladies, Tang Wan still felt a little awkward inviting them at this time.

After much consideration, Tang Wan finally decided to invite only Huang Ying this time.

This creates a more relaxed atmosphere and avoids unnecessary awkwardness.

Therefore, only Tang Wan, Tang Jing, and Huang Ying were present at the table.

They sat around enjoying delicious snacks and freshly picked fruit, chatting and laughing in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

Huang Ying chattered on about the interesting things that happened in Zhengfu and Zhoufu, while Tang Wan and Tang Jing shared some local customs and traditions of the northern desert.

Huang Ying adored the "little bean" doll, touching its little ears and pinching its little paws from time to time. Before leaving, she hugged it tightly and thanked it repeatedly.

After seeing off the overjoyed Huang Ying, Tang Wan immediately returned to the land in the space.

This is related to the 300,000 jin of grain eighteen days from now, as well as the grain owed to the Zhao and Yu families.

Tang Wan reclaimed another five acres of land and almost collapsed from exhaustion.

After clearing the land, Tang Wan irrigated it with spiritual spring water to ensure it was as fertile as before, and then she planted crops again.

Although it's a bit tiring, this is a safer approach.

Meanwhile, the cannery in the backyard continued to operate smoothly under Wang's management, with the assistance of Chen Da.

The peach season is coming to an end, but mid-season and late-season peaches are still being delivered in a steady stream.

The servants became more and more skilled, and now there are basically no unsuitable products.

Chen Da still reports the progress to Tang Wan every day. Although Tang Wan put Wang Shi in charge, Wang Shi still asks Chen Da to report to her every day when she has time.

Since that's the case, Tang Wan could only take some time each day to personally check the workshop's accounts again, as this was an important source of income for the Tang family in the future, and it really needed to be taken seriously.

In addition, Tang Wan communicates with Er Ya every night, and the escort convoy is currently operating smoothly.

Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and on that day, as expected, the steward of the Yu family arrived at Tang Wan's residence in the prefecture with his servants and carriages on time.

Tang Wan had already placed 10,000 jin of plump, fragrant sorghum rice into the warehouse of the prefectural government residence.

The steward of the Yu family inspected the quality, praised it highly, and readily signed for it.

Whether or not you can brew good wine depends on the recipe, and the ingredients are another matter.

Tang Wan initially said she was giving him a winemaking recipe, and the Yu family naturally knew the value of the recipe and didn't dare to keep it all to themselves.

After returning to the manor and discussing with Master Gao, the young master proposed a collaboration with Tang Wan.

Tang Wan readily agreed, and also offered to provide the raw materials for the newly brewed wine, charging the market price, of course. The Yu family had no objection; it didn't matter whose grain they bought it from.

However, Tang Wan only wanted 20% of the shares, which could be considered as a return for the Yu family's generous loan of alcohol. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement.
