Rebellious Contract Beast

Arriving under a shelf, Tsurumi Chuyun stretched out his hand and tapped the surface of the wine vat twice. The sound was muffled and not crisp at all. The wine inside was filled to the brim.

"That's it."

"Miss, it's better not to taste it, right?" Yang Bayuan touched the wine vat to dissuade him, his eyes full of worry for his master.

But He Jian Chuyun just looked at him with a firm look in his eyes. Seeing this, Yang Bayuan could only sigh in his heart. Later, he took a clean bowl, opened the wine jar, picked up the ladle used for ladling wine, and poured a small half bucket into it. Passed it over.

"Miss, this is the wine we made."

Taking the bowl, Tsurumi Chuyun glanced at it. There was very little wine in the bowl, but she was too lazy to say anything. She shook her head and smelled the bowl of wine.

The aroma of the wine is very strong, it's a top-grade sake, and it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it.

But Shen Yi was a little confused: "Is this sake?"

"Yes." Tsurumi Chuyun answered quickly, with some doubts in his eyes.

“Shouldn’t the kind of wine that has no color like water be considered sake?”

"Yes, but that kind of sake is more time-consuming and requires repeated filtering of impurities."

"Oh~"

Shen Yi realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something, and it suddenly dawned on him. He didn't speak anymore and didn't know what he was thinking.

Now the wine in the bowl in the old witch's hand is quite clear and has no impurities, but the body of the wine is light yellow, giving people the feeling of a drink.

Although Shen Yi's reaction was strange, Tsurumi Chuyun didn't ask any more questions. For her, such wine was very common.

"Miss?"

"It's really nothing to smell. Let me give it a try."

Under Yang Bayuan's nervous gaze, Tsurumi Chuyun leaned over to the bowl and took a gentle sip of wine.

When the wine entered her mouth, a scent of wine suddenly filled her mouth. She was expressionless and she didn't taste any peculiar smell for the time being. But the next second, her brows furrowed and she heard a "wow" sound as she drank the wine. Spit out all the drinks.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yi hurriedly asked her, very curious.

Tsurushi saw Chuyun grimacing, putting the bowl aside, and kept wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeves.

"This tastes really good..."

"What is the taste?"

"..."

She explained to Shen Yi that there was nothing wrong with it the moment it entered her mouth, but when she swallowed it, a strong smell came up. What can I say, it was like the smell of dead duck meat, it was rich. Countless times, it is unbearable.

She didn't know what kind of person could finish the first sip and then take a second sip.

"How are you, Miss? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay... I'm fine, cough, cough, cough..." Tsurumi Chuyun coughed a few times. The smell of alcohol combined with the peculiar smell was a disaster for her.

"It's okay. There's some water here. Drink it and you'll be relieved."

Yang Bayuan scooped up some water with a ladle and handed it over. Tsurumi Chuyun took it and poured several sips into his mouth without thinking.

"Huh~ The wine here...is all like this?"

"Yes miss."

"Oh... let's go out..." Her face turned pale and she walked out of the warehouse without any explanation.

This is too uncomfortable.

At this moment, Shen Yi's voice came from his mind: "Let me taste what it tastes like."

Before he could reply, Tsurumi Chuyun felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows, and a ball of light forcefully squeezed out, turning into Shen Yi after landing.

"This is……?"

"It's my contract beast Xuanli."

"Why did it come out of the altar? Miss, don't you have a magical weapon?"

"Xuan Li doesn't like being in the Spiritual Artifact... Okay, we don't need to worry about him."

She felt better after walking out of the warehouse with Yang Bayuan and smelling the fresh air outside.

The smell is really awesome.

She didn't expect it to be so strong. If she had known better, she should have listened to the other party and not tasted it.

However, Shen Yi didn't learn the lesson from her. He was curious, what kind of wine could make her look like this? So he raised his paw and grabbed the bowl containing the wine.

I leaned forward and smelled it. It smelled very good, and it didn't seem to have any peculiar smell.

Without hesitation, he took a sip from the edge of the bowl and then quietly felt it.

It took a full two seconds for him to undergo some changes and become grinning.

Maybe it was because the wine was forcibly converted into red gas as soon as it passed his throat. His reaction was not as strong as Tsurumi Hatsun's, but he also felt the peculiar smell that came back when the wine entered his throat. It was disgusting. He didn't know why. produced.

"Huh~"

Shen Yi stuck out his tongue with a look of disgust on his face. The taste really felt like he had taken a bite of raw duck meat that had not been marinated but had been stored for several days. It was disgusting. He stuck his head out next to the water tank and drank hard. It took several mouthfuls for the smell to dissipate.

"How do you feel?" Tsurumi Chuyun, who had completely calmed down at this time, asked him.

Shen Yi said nothing, turned into light again and penetrated into her conscious space, and then said: "Do you think I am you?"

"Then why do you drink so much water?"

"Can I drink if I want?"

"Hmph! You just have to be tough."

"Come on, this wine is very weird. You should first think about how to find out the reason. It's also strange. It smells good but changes the taste after drinking it. Tsk tsk."

"..."

After that, Yang Bayuan took Tsurumi Chuyun up to the attic and entered the hall. As soon as the door was opened, the guards, winery workers and Zhuhong packed up a bunch of things and walked out.

"Miss, you are back."

"Yes." He Jianchuyun nodded and looked inside. The hall was neatly tidied up.

"Miss, please sit down." Yang Bayuan motioned to Yang Bo, Li Rong and others with his eyes, and then made a gesture of invitation to Tsurumi Chuyun.

The two of them understood the situation and immediately left the small hall. Zhuhong also realized the situation and followed him out. The only two winery workers left scratched their heads and seemed unwilling to go out.

"What are you two doing here? I have an important conversation with my boss. How can you behave here?"

"Well..." One of the winery workers hesitated and stammered: "The manager... Now that the boss is back, shouldn't our wages... also be paid?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Bayuan's expression changed and he said angrily: "That's outrageous! Now is the time to say this, get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

While talking, Yang Bayuan showed his dignity as a steward. The two of them were frightened when they heard this. They said they were sorry and hurried out. "Sorry, sorry, we two are going out right now..."

Just when the two were about to walk out of the door, Tsurumi Chuyun raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute."

"Huh?" The two of them stopped and looked at her expectantly.

At this time, Yang Bayuan said again: "Miss Chuyun, is it inappropriate for them to be here?"

Of course Tsurumi Chuyun could understand what he meant, so she looked at him deeply, but unfortunately, her thoughts were completely different from his.

"It's okay. What I'm going to say next isn't a secret. It doesn't hurt to let them know."

"Miss...this..."

"You two, tell me, how much wages does the winery owe you?"

She ignored Yang Bayuan and asked them directly. Yang Bayuan wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed, shook his head, and had to pour tea aside.

After hearing her words, both of them were happy, and one of them hurriedly said: "Boss, the winery closed in April this year, and it already owes us half a year's wages, but these days We didn’t do anything, the employer just gave us three months’ wages.”

Tsurumi nodded clearly and asked, "How much do you pay per month?"

"It's the same for both of us, three hundred and fifty dollars a month."

"Oh~" Just a casual calculation, the two of them had 350 yuan a month, which was 4900 yuan in seven months, which was less than 5 taels of silver.

Shaking his head, Tsurumi Chuyun directly took out six silver coins and placed them on the table, saying: "Let's discuss the matter. Since I owe you seven months' wages, I will pay it all in one lump sum."

Seeing the money placed on the table, the joy on their faces could not be suppressed. These six taels of silver were more than seven months old!

Yang Bayuan, who had just made tea, turned red when he saw Yin Zi.

"Miss, isn't this bad?"

"It's okay, they deserve it."

"But Miss..." Yang Bayuan looked at the two men fiercely, with a bit of jealousy in his eyes, and a look of hatred on his face.

Fortunately, these two people did not completely lose their minds. After looking at each other, they suppressed the excitement in their hearts and said to Tsurumi Chuyun: "My boss, is this... giving you a little too much?"

"What do you think?"

"Yes...it's too much."

"Okay, you can keep it." Tsurumi Chuyun motioned the two of them to come forward. After getting the money, they both seemed a little overwhelmed and didn't know what to say.

After looking at the two of them, she added, "If you two are willing to continue working, I will give you an increase in your monthly salary to a penny. How about that?"

And these words were like a surprise falling from the sky and hitting their heads hard, making the two of them feel dizzy.

A drop of money per month is not a small amount. Looking across Jiangzhou City, there are not many people who can earn a salary of a drop of money every month.

"My boss...Miss! Are you serious?"

"Is this winery going to continue to open?"

"That's natural." He Jian Chuyun nodded with a firm tone. The two looked at each other and saw the movement in each other's eyes.

No fool would be willing to do it for a drop of money a month!
"Miss Boss! We are willing! We are definitely willing!"

"I do too!"

The two agreed quickly without any hesitation, and even changed their names for Tsurumi Hatsuun.

"Since you are willing to continue, then just listen to me. From today on, I don't want to see anyone taking that magic powder. If I see it, they will pack up and leave. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes! We know!"

"If the boss lady's words are true, we will do whatever you ask us to do without any hesitation."

The two of them promised emphatically, and Tsurumi Chuyun also withdrew his gaze, and then took out a silver coin again and handed it over. This move made the two of them full of doubts.

"Miss, what is this?"

"I just have something for you to do."

"Miss, just say it."

"How about you use the money to buy some brewing materials?"

"Yes, yes, we can do it."

"Then go ahead."

"Okay lady!"

The two of them hurriedly picked up the silver coin and hurried out of the door without wasting a moment. As soon as they left, Yang Bayuan and her were the only two people left in the hall.

The former looked at the other party with eyes full of sorrow, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, are you a little thoughtless in doing this?"

"Do you mean?"

“With the winery in its current state, it’s not easy to make a comeback.”

The reason why Yang Bayuan was able to linger in Jiangzhou for more than a year and wait for Tsurumi Chuyun was actually very simple. He was waiting for her, the person who could make the final decision, to dispose of the winery.

To him, the winery was completely ruined. Even if the problem was finally found and solved, people's evaluation of Luoxiangzui could not be changed in a day or two. The signboard was broken and the future was in doubt.

If you want to revive Luo Xiang Zui, you will have to spend a lot of money, time and effort, and the returns will be low.

Instead of doing this, it is better to pack up the entire winery and stores. At least the land can be sold for several thousand taels of silver. With this money, Yang Bayuan can buy a new industry. Although the scale is not as good as before, he With many years of experience in business, it is not difficult to develop and grow. At the very least, it can allow the eldest lady Tsurumi Chuyun to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

He really couldn't understand what Tsurumi Hatsuyun was doing.

After she was silent for a moment, she suddenly said nonchalantly: "I know all this."

"Then Miss, you still..."

"It's okay. I know it well. The biggest problem is money. You don't have to worry about it at all."

"What does this mean?"

Tsurumi Chuyun just smiled mysteriously without any explanation.

After that, the two chatted about other issues about the winery. What Yang Bayuan didn't expect was that Tsurumi Chuyun not only wanted the winery to reopen, but also called in all the workers who had previously worked in the winery. , together with the family members of those who lost their lives due to drinking.

He could understand the former. By paying off the owed wages, the winery had done its utmost to be benevolent to those workers, but the latter... what was the use of calling them here?

Helplessly, Tsurumi Chuyun always agreed with his suggestions, but did not adopt them. He continued to go his own way. There was no other way. Yang Bayuan had no choice but to comply with her ideas, praying in his heart that she would not hit the wall when she hit the wall. It hurts so much.

During this process, Shen Yi was so bored that she had already left her conscious space and wandered around the winery, smelling the fragrance of flowers and watching the bees diligently collecting honey.

As time passed, the two winery workers who had gone out also came back and bought some raw materials and equipment for wine making.

The old witch was also very serious in order to find the truth, and started working with people without saying a word. However, the process of making wine is also quite complicated, including soaking of raw materials, initial steaming, stewing, re-steaming, etc. Even if some are omitted, it still makes people happy. Several people worked until the evening, and then the first batch of wine was released.
