Chapter 326: A New Mission
"Mother...... No. When Yan was about to blurt out the truth, he was stopped by Xia Huai.
He tugged at Yan's sleeve and shook his head at her at an angle that Xia Yan couldn't see.
Yan understood that his son was signaling her not to say anything.
But......
Yan Shi shifted his gaze to Xia Yan, looking at her calm appearance, and couldn't help but sigh.
Hey, forget it, sometimes it's a kind of happiness to not know the truth.
"Mother, what do you want to say?" Yan's desire to speak again aroused Xia Yan's curiosity.
"Mother wants to tell you that Mu Fan is gone." Before Yan could open his mouth, Xia Huai hurriedly replied.
"I know." Xia Yan smiled lightly, "Let's go, what do we have to do with it?" ”
"Yan'er, you ......" Xia Huai was stunned, "Do you really think so?" ”
"Really." Xia Yan nodded, "He is not related to our family, but he is just a neighbor, he can go wherever he wants, what does it matter to our family?" ”
"Mother, don't be sad." Xia Yan not only did not have a trace of sadness, but looked at Yan with a smile and persuaded.
"I ......" Yan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer.
She is sad, but most of it is because of Xia Yan, she doesn't want to see her sad and heartbroken, but her daughter is ...... With this appearance, she couldn't persuade her at all.
Hey, forget it, since Yan'er doesn't want to mention this, then she should have acted as if it hadn't happened.
The strong pretending is light and breezy, so she should take it as real.
Gradually, the people who went out to look for Xia Yan had returned, and after Xia Yan reported to them that he was safe, he returned to the room with Xue Ci.
"Xue Ci, what did you say my mother was trying to say just now?" Putting Xue Ci on the table, Xia Yan took out a carrot and put it in front of it, "Could it be that you want to tell me Mu Fan's identity?" Or maybe she finally figured it out and was finally willing to tell me who was the one who killed her back then? ”
Xia Yan's scene of stopping the Yan family was seen by Xia Yan very well, but she didn't want to break it, so she pretended to be confused in front of the two. Now that there is no one around, she can tell Xue Ci what is in her heart, after all, it is a rabbit, and no matter how smart she is, she will not gossip with others.
Xue Ci just buried her head in eating, looking up from time to time, but did not answer her questions.
Xia Yan didn't expect Xue Ci to answer at all, but muttered softly: "I don't care who Mu Fan is, but those who harm us, I have to find a way to find out." Since my brother refuses to let my mother tell me the truth, then I can only rely on myself. But...... But my mother and brother hid it from me too strictly, and I didn't even have a clue, what should I do? ”
"Hey......" After a long time, Xia Yan sighed, "I can only take one step at a time." ”
Time flies, time flies, and before he knows it, it has been more than three months since Mu Fan left Bianxi Village, and Xia Yan feels that he has almost forgotten this person.
At this time, she finally got through the busiest season of the year, and was leisurely drinking fruit tea at home.
She lay on a large wicker chair, rocking pleasantly, holding a delicate teacup in one hand and a piece of brown paper in the other.
The kraft paper in her hand was the reward that the system had given her a few months ago—a mellow and fragrant brewing recipe.
It should have been taken out a long time ago, but because there were too many things that happened at home before, she didn't have time to take care of it, and even when the system issued the reward, she didn't hear what the reward was because she was depressed.
It was today that she finally made time to pick up the reward that she didn't know to stuff into that corner.
The system is produced, it must be a high-quality product, even if Xia Yan has no interest in winemaking, he still unconsciously studies it.
When she finished reading the formula, she couldn't help but frown.
Over the years, she has figured out the routines of the system, and at this time, she was rewarded with a wine-making recipe, did she want her to open a winery in Qinxian County?
Xia Yan couldn't help but worry, if this was really the case, it would be a little embarrassing.
Everyone knows that Qinxian County is a well-known sorghum wine production area, any winery may have decades of winemaking experience, if you open a winery there, not only will the business not be very good, I am afraid it will offend the people of the entire Qinxian County.
You must know that the system has always had high requirements for itself, and it will definitely not just let yourself open a winery, and it is estimated that there will be any excessive requirements.
Sorghum wine is the economic lifeblood of the entire Qin County, and if you insert it at will, the consequences will ...... Just thinking about it made Xia Yan feel a cold sweat.
If she offends the entire Qin County, how should she do other businesses there?
Xia Yan couldn't help but pray, hoping that this time the system would really just reward her with a recipe, and don't release any tossing moth tasks.
She finally managed to get to where she is today in Qinxian County, but she didn't want to lose everything because of a mission.
Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and just after Xia Yan had just prayed, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in her head.
"System task release: open a winery in Qin County within three months. Requirements: Win the first prize at the Qinxian Wine Fighting Conference, so that the reputation of the winery surpasses that of the Gaojia winery. Duration: one year. ”
"System!" Xia Yan only felt that his head was full of bags, and he couldn't help but roar, "Are you playing with me?" ”
Can this task be completed? That's a lot more than asking her to plant a thousand acres of wheat, okay?
Who doesn't know that Qinxian sorghum wine is popular in China, and even several countries bordering China have to enter some every year.
The wine produced by any winery in Qinxian County is highly praised, and the Gao family is the leader of these wineries.
In Huaguo, as long as you love to drink sorghum wine, who doesn't know the reputation of the Gao family in Qinxian County, how can you have the ability to surpass the Gao family? Or in a year?
Is it just a piece of paper? Isn't that a joke?
Just relying on a recipe, an inexperienced person can win a century-old brand?
The cowhide doesn't blow like this, anyway, she doesn't have that ability.
Xia Yan glanced at the kraft paper, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to tear it apart when he picked up the paper in anger.
But where is the output of the system so easy to destroy, even though Xia Yan's strength is much larger than that of ordinary people, but no matter how hard she tries, the paper is unscathed, and there is no sign of breaking at all.
"System, you can do it." Xia Yan took a breath, "Can't I tear it off, can't I throw it away?" ”
As he spoke, Xia Yan wanted to find a place to throw the formula far away, out of sight.
But before she could find a suitable place, she heard the system prompt sound sound again: "Remind the host that if you can't complete the task as required, all merit and gold coins will be cleared." ”
"You...... Count you ruthless. Xia Yan completely accepted his fate.
The system really picked on her weakness this time, leaving her with no room to resist at all.
Merit, although it is not of much use to Xia Yan for the time being, but that is the root of the exchange for Xiaoyi, she has worked hard for so long for this goal, and she has finally saved so much, if it is cleared, she will not be able to see Xiaoyi again until the Year of the Monkey?
Gold coins, although they can't be used in exchange for Xiaoyi, but it is the foundation for Xia Yan to obtain merit and silver.
Without it, how can she buy the seeds in the space mall, and without the seeds, how can she promote the crops to earn merit and silver?
What's more, this gold coin is much more rare than merit, she has worked hard for so many years, and she has been constantly collecting and selling vegetables and growing vegetables, so she can barely maintain her needs, if it is cleared by the system, it will really be back before liberation, and I don't know how long it will take to turn over.
The system made such a ruthless move, and it was difficult for her to agree even if she didn't want to.
There was no way, Xia Yan could only put back the formula that was about to be thrown away.
Now that she's decided to take on this task, it's time for her to make some plans.
The winery is easy to open, just find an empty shop and hang the archway to complete the task, but this winemaking ...... Xia Yan really didn't know anything.
She didn't drink at all, she didn't know how it was made, and she hadn't even seen the legendary koji, so how could she, a complete layman, accomplish this task?
The recipe is written with dense brewing methods, but the key problem is that she can't understand it at all!
What distillation, cooking, fermentation, koji-making, although she can understand these literal meanings, but she is at a loss how to do it.
system, aren't you bullying people?
Xia Yan rubbed his somewhat swollen head and muttered softly: "Winemaking, winemaking, winemaking, how can I, a person who never drinks, make wine?" ”
Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in her mind, and a person appeared in front of her.
"That's right, the system says that the wine will be brewed within a year, but it doesn't say that I have to do it myself?" Xia Yan patted his forehead, a picture of why he didn't think of it earlier, "Gao Yuxing is a serious young master of the Gao family, it is soaked in a wine vat, and he must know how to make wine." ”
"But ......" Thinking of Gao Yuxing's exaggerated appearance, Xia Yan hesitated a little, "Is this guy reliable?" ”
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Yan stomped his feet, with a look of determination, "Whatever, there is no other way to do it now, but to use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”
In order to solve this trouble quickly, Xia Yan, who had just returned home, packed his bags again, called Xiao Hei, and went to Qin County with Xue in his arms.
It was time to close early on the day of food, and the guys in the shop went home early, leaving only Gao Yuxing alone in the counter to quickly dial the abacus.
"Eldest sister, are you looking for me?" Seeing Xia Yan who suddenly appeared in front of him, Gao Yuxing hurriedly stopped what he was doing and stepped forward diligently, "Didn't you just go home today, why did you come back in less than a day?" ”
"I have something to ask you." Xia Yan didn't talk much nonsense with him, and directly explained his intentions, "How much do you know about winemaking?" ”
"Winemaking?" Gao Yuxing was stunned, I don't know why Xia Yan suddenly asked this kind of question, "Not much, just understand some." ”
"Can you understand what's written on this piece of paper?" Xia Yan took out a recipe that she had copied out in advance, handed it to Gao Yuxing, and asked.
"I'll see." The things Xia Yan took out were naturally not ordinary, although Gao Yuxing didn't know what it was, he also took it carefully and looked at it carefully.
It didn't take long for him to hear him shouting excitedly: "Big sister, this recipe ...... You...... Where did you get that? ”
