Red Dust Daqian

Miao Yancui, who had just finished washing up, also rushed over. Her hair was not yet dry and was wet and draped over her shoulders, like a lotus emerging from water, pure and elegant.

Maybe it was because she had just taken a shower, her face was slightly moist, there were still water stains on her neck, and her shirt was wet with wet hair, she was charming and beautiful. The soap fragrance mixed with body fragrance exuded a mature and attractive charm. The color, fragrance and taste were all good, impacting Zhou Sen's senses in all directions, but it was a pity that he could only watch from a distance and could not play with it at this moment. Zhou Sen swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Miao Yancui skipped Zhou Sen and asked Old Man Yu in a pretended angry tone, "Master, look at what you said, drinking wine is enough for you? Have I not been short of your good wine over the years? I have bought you a portion of any good wine on the market in Jiangxiazhou. Is there any wine that Master has not tasted?"

Although Old Man Yu was in poor health, he could not hide his doting personality. Miao Yancui came over, stood up stubbornly and explained: "Xiao Cui, come and take a look. Master Zhang, the wine I brought this time is really different." As he spoke, he picked up the Shuimu Xianniang and handed it to Miao Yancui, and continued: "This wine is clean and clear, sweet, mellow and rich. It is really a good wine that I have never tasted in my life."

Miao Yancui came forward to observe and smell the Shuimuxian wine. Although she didn't know much about wine, the Shuimuxian wine was indeed better than the wine she usually bought for Old Man Yu. How could she not tell the difference? Miao Yancui nodded and praised the good wine, and said to Old Man Yu on the spot: "Since the master likes this wine, I will buy it for you in the future."

Miao Yancui then turned to Zhou Sen. Perhaps because they had almost had a fight, she was still a little shy in front of Zhou Sen. With a blushing face, Miao Yancui asked Zhou Sen, "This wine is indeed good. What kind of wine is this? Where did Mr. Zhang buy it from?"

Zhou Sen replied without thinking too much: Shuimu Xianniang.

Miao Yancui was stunned when she heard that this wine was Shuimuxian wine. Although she stayed in the firecracker workshop every day to develop gunpowder, she still knew a little about what was happening outside, especially the popular Shuimuxian wine, which was sold at a price of dozens or even hundreds of taels per jar on the black market. They could taste it occasionally, but they couldn't bear to drink it every day, otherwise they would lose all the money they earned from selling firecrackers.

Seeing Miao Yancui's shock, Old Man Yu asked what was going on. Miao Yancui explained, "Master, this Shuimu Xianniang is the signature product of Shuimu Hall. It is in short supply every day and is extremely difficult to buy. Shuimu Hall is even nicknamed the Half-Day Hall. Although I don't know the exact price of Shuimu Xianniang on the black market, it is likely to be 100 taels."

Hearing Miao Yancui's description, the old man almost fainted. The bowl of wine in his hand was worth several months' food ration for an ordinary family, and he finished it in just a few gulps.

Old Man Yu and Miao Yancui were a little embarrassed and thanked Zhou Sen for the wine. Zhou Sen didn't think too much about it for a moment. Of course, he wouldn't settle accounts for his own wine like on the black market. Feeling the embarrassment of the two, Zhou Sen said generously: "Since Master Yu prefers Shuimu Xianniang, I will have someone send two jars regularly every month."

Miao Yancui was surprised by Zhou Sen's boldness. She didn't expect him to be so generous to my master. Old man Yu was also quite surprised and a little embarrassed. When Zhou Sen asked for the powerful firecracker formula before, he was stingy and refused to give it to him. How could he accept such a big favor from Zhou Sen at this moment?

Old Man Yu hastily refused, "No merit, no reward. This wine is too expensive. I can't afford it."

The two dared not accept Zhou Sen's kindness, and Zhou Sen knew that they were kind people who would not talk too much, so he simply revealed his relationship with Shuimutang to them. The wine he gave away did not need to be calculated like on the black market.

Neither Yu nor Miao had expected that Zhou Sen had such a strong background. Although it was their own wine, there was still cost. Old Man Yu had intended to buy it at a reasonable price, but was rejected by Zhou Sen.

Miao Yancui did not continue to be polite to Zhou Sen at this moment. She would accept whatever Zhou Sen gave her within the acceptable range. After all, Miao Yancui had already identified herself as Zhou Sen's person, and the things she gave now would sooner or later be returned to Zhou Sen along with her body.

Zhou Sen told Old Man Yu not to treat him as an outsider anymore. The firecracker workshop is now the property of Qianmutang, and it is in the care of Old Man Yu and Miao Yancui. The two have done their best, so it is reasonable to present two jars of fine wine.

Sincerity for sincerity, Old Man Yu was so grateful that he was ready to give all the gunpowder formulas he had hidden to Zhou Sen, and never keep them privately. Unexpectedly, he was rejected by Zhou Sen again. Zhou Sen looked at Miao Yancui lovingly and said, "Master Yu, you can just give those gunpowder formulas to Miss Miao. From now on, the firecracker workshop will still be in charge of you two. With the formulas in hand, Miss Miao will feel a little safe."

When Old Man Yu saw the two flirting with each other, he was filled with emotion. He was dying, and his days were numbered. This was good enough. If he died suddenly one day, Miss Miao would have someone to take care of her. No son, no son. This was fate. He had to accept it.

Old Man Yu took Miao Yancui to Zhou Sen to express his gratitude, and said that he had found the right person to sell the firecracker workshop to, and Miao Yancui had found a home. From today on, the firecracker workshop will be fully handed over to Miao Yancui. Now even if I die, I will have no regrets, not to mention that I can taste the fine wine of Shuimuxianniang before I die, which is enough for my life.

After exchanging pleasantries with Old Man Yu, Zhou Sen said goodbye. Old Man Yu called out to Miao Yancui to see Zhou Sen off.

Miao Yancui accompanied Zhou Sen out shyly and did not dare to get close to him. She knew that Zhou Sen was full of lust at the moment and might eat her if he was not careful.

As soon as they turned the corner, Zhou Sen pulled Miao Yancui over, hugged her tightly, and said, "You're clean now, right? What other reasons do you have to reject me?"

Miao Yancui struggled to let Zhou Sen let her go, saying that there were guys everywhere and if they saw her, how could she behave and manage the firecracker workshop in the future. Did Zhou Sen come here today just to bully her? It was a difficult reason to refuse, so Zhou Sen had to let Miao Yancui go despite his reluctance.

To ease the embarrassment, Miao Yancui revealed to Zhou Sen that she had basically mastered all the knowledge about gunpowder that Old Man Yu had taught her. Not only that, she was still researching a new formula, but it was not yet mature. Next time Zhou Sen came over, she might be able to give him a surprise.

It would be nice to have a surprise, but what Zhou Sen cares most about at the moment is Miao Yancui's safety. He asks Miao Yancui not to endanger her own safety no matter what happens, even if the firecracker workshop is no longer needed.

She thought Zhou Sen cared about her because of the firecracker workshop, but she didn't expect Zhou Sen would rather lose the firecracker workshop than let herself get hurt. Miao Yancui was very moved and said goodbye to Zhou Sen with tears in her eyes.
