In the past few days, Shen Wangxin had already asked around, and in the entire Yu Qing County, there was no one who brewed white spirits. But luckily, although no one knew how to brew it, there was someone who knew how. Shen Wangxin bought the method to brew the white spirit from him and pulled Auntie Shen along to brew the white spirit with him.
As for the jar of white spirit wine that Auntie Shen had brought over earlier, she had already made some blood wine to soothe the muscles and stimulate the blood. Once it was made, she would let Auntie Shen try it out first.
Auntie Shen had rheumatism in her legs. When spring was wet, her knees would ache. Although it wasn't severe pain, it still made it difficult for her to sleep. When she had time for this bottle of medicinal wine, after a few days of rubbing it, her knees felt warm and less painful.
With Auntie Shen's affirmation, Shen Wangxin started to sell medicinal wine within the medical hall. When the villagers heard that Shen Wangxin's medicinal wine was extremely effective, they all came one after another to buy it. In an instant, even the people from the other villages specially came to the Xitou Village to buy the medicinal wine.
Since Shen Wangxin initially only had a jar of white wine, the medicinal wine was quickly sold out. If she still wanted it, she would have to wait for her new liquor to recover before she could start selling it again.
When Auntie Shen had finished washing the dishes, she saw Shen Wangxin holding onto an account book with an abacus by her hand. She was counting the money in her room with a "Ta Ta Ta" sound.
When she saw Auntie Shen, a smile appeared on her face. She pulled Auntie Shen to a chair and asked, "Third Grandmother, can you guess how much the wine will sell for this time?"
Auntie Shen had participated in the whole process of Shen Wangxin's selling of medicinal wine. Not only did he help Shen Wangxin brew white wine, he also helped her to make medicinal wine and put it into many small porcelain bottles. A small bottle of medicinal wine sold for four hundred gold coins.
At the beginning, Auntie Shen thought that the price of the medicinal wine was too expensive. Everyone in the village was saving, so how could she spend so much money to buy such a small bottle? But who would have thought that not only did Shen Wangxin's medicinal wine sell, but everyone else was praising her. None of them could say anything bad about it.
These days, whenever she went out, someone would ask her if she still had any of Young Doctor Shen's medicinal wine. There was one bottle in her hand, but she had already used more than half of it!
Who would have thought that these people would actually say that even if they used half a bottle, they would still want it.
Without even thinking about it, Auntie Shen rejected it immediately. This was something her good granddaughter had given her. How could she sell it to someone else?
"Look at how happy you are. How much did you sell it for?" Auntie Shen asked Shen Wangxin with a smile. Shen Wangxin was happier than anything for earning silver.
Shen Wangxin walked up to Auntie Shen and gestured with her hand, "I sold them for a total of six taels of silver. If I were to take away the porcelain bottles and medicinal herbs, I could earn about four taels of silver!"
"So many!" Even though she knew Shen Wangxin could earn money quickly, Auntie Shen still widened her eyes. Even if her family had many sons, it would still take two to three months for a family to earn four taels of silver.
Who would've thought that a little girl like Shen Wangxin would be able to earn so much money by selling only a dozen bottles of medicinal wine?
"Who is your granddaughter? In the future, he would only earn more than this and wouldn't earn less. This bit of money is just a small gift. You better not be satisfied with it now. " Shen Wangxin took out a silver bag from the cabinet and shoved it into Auntie Shen's hands, "This time, the medicinal wine was able to make such a good wine. It must be with Third Grandmother's help. This silver is for your hard work."
Auntie Shen subconsciously wanted to decline. In her opinion, she was just helping Shen Wangxin. Shen Wangxin was already giving her more silver every month, so she felt bad to take Shen Wangxin's money again.
Shen Wangxin said sternly, "Third Grandmother, just take it. Uncle Xuan's elder brother is already big and these days are passing by quickly. His brothers and sisters are going to grow up soon. When the time comes for them to get married, will they stay in the same yard?" You don't have to think for yourself, you have to think for them. Besides, this is what you deserve. "
Auntie Shen was startled, but still kept the silver in the end. Of course, there was a reason why she came to work beside Shen Wangxin. All the kids in the family, in a few years they would be old enough to get married, or they could earn some money to help them build their house. Although it was big, it wasn't enough to live in.
That night, Auntie Shen still went to the village entrance under the camphor tree, and sat and chatted with the women in the village.
As they chatted, they somehow ended up talking about Shen Wangxin. Every woman in the village praised Shen Wangxin when she mentioned her. Her tone was both sour and envious, making Auntie Shen unable to restrain her pride.
"Aunt sure is lucky to have picked up such a good granddaughter when she was old." A woman said with a strange tone, and then added, "It's a pity, after all, they're not real. If it's your biological child, wouldn't that be incredible? "
Auntie Shen didn't even bother to turn her pale face, and her tone was light enough to fly to the sky, "What do you know? Sometimes it is better than not to be your own! Which granddaughter in the village did you see that was so filial to her? Your granddaughter? "
Auntie Shen's words angered the other party so much that she felt overjoyed.
At this point, some people couldn't stand Auntie Shen's complacency anymore. They raised their voices and retorted, "Your granddaughter is so promising. Not only did she earn more money, but she also looks more handsome than the other girls. Otherwise, how could Hei Zi of the family be so captivated that his soul left his body, and even said she wouldn't marry him!"
Auntie Shen's face darkened the moment she heard this. She immediately stood up and asked, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
The man raised his chin and said, "If there's really nothing going on, how would I dare to speak carelessly? That evening, a lot of people heard what Hei Zi was shouting at the grain sunning ground! Then, Xin and the Chen Family brat walked back from the grain sunning ground one after the other, who knows what happened! "
"Ha!" Could the rumors be true? Even Ah Xian was enchanted by Xin and wanted to become her son-in-law? You have to know, Ah Xian is the only son of the Chen Family! "
"Don't you know that Ah Xian was beaten up by Hei Zi? They must have fought over Xin!"
Shen Wangxin looked at the big wine vats in the yard and made sure that the liquor was almost done. She then took a shower and dried her hair before going to bed.
She moved out of the house and sat in the yard. After blowing on the cool air for a while, she felt her hair drying up. She leaned against the wall and stood up, but then she heard a creaking sound from the backyard door.
"Third Grandmother, why are you so early?" Shen Wangxin asked.
Auntie Shen walked to the door. Under the dim light of the candlelight, Shen Wangxin could see clearly that her complexion was not looking good. His face, which had always been smiling, suddenly darkened for some reason. From the looks of it, his anger was not light.
