"My father agreed, which means my mother agrees too!" Princess Pingyang approached her and said, "Just remember my order! After all, I am the one living in Xie Mansion now, not you!"

Princess Pingyang took her people to see the yard.

She didn't take Chu Heyi seriously.

Chu Heyi didn't take her seriously, so after Princess Pingyang left, Chu Heyi continued to wait outside the study door.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came out soon after. All we could hear him and Xie Lin say something like "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years" and "it's like an epiphany". In any case, he was praising Xie Lin and thanking him.

She and Xie Lin respectfully saw His Royal Highness off.

Chu Heyi asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here specially to win you over? Not only did he flatter you, he also used Princess Pingyang as a bargaining chip and gave her to you as Madam Xie?"

She was too direct, which surprised Xie Lin a little.

"From what the prince did today, he does have this intention. However, I will not become Princess Pingyang's consort."

Xie Lin called Chu Heyi back to the study and stopped talking about the matter of the prince and the princess. Instead, he continued to discuss with Chu Heyi about opening a winery.

They analyzed all the tools, manpower, market conditions, and potential problems that might be encountered during the start-up process.

It was not until the evening that Chu Heyi said goodbye and left.

Within two days, Wangshan found a suitable place and a suitable person in charge in Chuan'an City.

That family used to make a living by brewing wine, but in recent years they had been managing the business poorly and were increasingly unable to make ends meet. So Wangshan bought the winery from that family and promised them that when they built a new winery, he could arrange for their family members to work there, so that they could always have a good livelihood.

After Wangshan came back to report to Xie Lin, Xie Lin asked him to continue expanding the winery on the original basis and recruit more winemakers, preferably those who have been in this business for many years.

Nowadays, there are not many large-scale wineries. Most of them are family workshops, doing small businesses just to support their families.

Therefore, it was easy for Wangshan to recruit wine workers. As long as the wages they paid were more and more stable than what they earned themselves, there was no problem at all.

While he was recruiting winemakers, Xie Lin had already sent people to the winery to start making tools according to his own drawings.

The winery was also rearranged at the same time.

Half a month later, the winery had expanded tenfold from the inside out, and it looked brand new. The tools had been basically built, and the winemakers had been recruited.

There were a lot of wine workers, so Chu Heyi arranged them into small teams. Each team had three people, and ten teams formed a group, with a team leader in each group.

The team leader will go to the distillery to work first, get familiar with the process, and start making liquor. Only then will the members under them start coming to the distillery.

Truckloads of rice were delivered, and jars and water tanks of all sizes were also delivered one after another.

In the enclosed cellar space, there are hundreds of water tanks. By the time we finish all this, it is already evening.

Chu Heyi taught the person in charge of fermentation how to put the rice into the water tank for fermentation and how to seal it to achieve the best effect.

After finishing the three vats, she saw that it was getting late and everyone was exhausted, so she asked everyone to go back and rest and come back early tomorrow morning.

"Your Highness, I have already found out that Mr. Xie has been with the Princess of Cheng'an County in Chuan'an City for some time. He wants to open a winery to brew wine." Chai'er, the trusted palace maid, said in front of Dongfang Jing.

Dongfang Jing's face was filled with anger: "No wonder I have lived in Xie's house for so long but never see Mr. Xie. It turns out that bitch is interfering! She didn't take my words to heart at all!"

Then he asked, "Chai'er, do you think Chu Heyi can really make wine? Can the wine she makes be better than that of other people?"

Chai Er replied: "She grew up in the countryside. To make a living, she may have done everything. It is not surprising that she can make wine. But she wants to do better than those families who make a living by selling wine. I think it is impossible."

Dongfang Jing said: "Since she can't be better than other families, she still dares to drag Master Xie to do this with her... I think she not only wants to seduce Master Xie, but also wants to waste Master Xie's money! I will never allow such a thing to happen!"

Chai Er asked her, "What is your highness going to do?"

"Of course I will stop her!" Dongfang Jing answered, and after a moment's hesitation, he added, "By the way, if she really can make good wine, I can't let her make it successfully, otherwise Master Xie will really be seduced by her!"

As he spoke, he became more and more angry, "Chai'er, you tell me, her father and brother are both upright men who guard the frontiers, why is she, a daughter of a general, so lowly? And she is so arrogant that she dares to snatch a man from me!"

"Your Highness, calm down. Chu Heyi grew up in the countryside and has no sense of shame. Whenever she sees something good or someone good, she wants to take it for herself. Your Highness, don't bother with her."

"You are right. I am a princess. I don't need to be on the same level as a country bitch like her. Otherwise, I will lose my status."

That night, she left Xie's house and took people to Chuan'an City. At dawn, they arrived at Chu Heyi's winery.

Chu Heyi's younger sister has her birthday today, so she taught the wine workers how to ferment last night. She can't come today.

Yuan Yun, who followed Xie Lin, got into some trouble. He has been outside Shengjing City these days and has not come.

After Dongfang Jing entered the winery, she immediately showed her identity as a princess. The guards behind her were all equipped with long swords, which scared everyone present and made them kneel down to salute her.

"Wine workers in charge of fermentation, come here." Dongfang Jing said.

After a while, more than a dozen people knelt before her.

Dongfang Jing said: "This is Chu Heyi's first time brewing wine. She is not completely sure that she can brew good wine. If you ferment too much rice, it will eventually cause serious waste. Pass on this princess' order. This time, you only need to ferment ten jars of rice. If you follow Chu Heyi's method and really brew good wine, it won't be too late to ferment it next time."

Everyone was very surprised. They thought Chu Heyi was an expert, but it turned out that she had never brewed wine before.

No one dared to resist Her Royal Highness the Princess' words.

Wang Shan was the only one who was furious: "Your Highness, Princess, this is the wine shop of my Third Master and the Princess of Cheng'an County. You cannot give orders here."

Although he also thought that Chu Heyi could not make good wine, he had to complete the tasks assigned by his master.

Dongfang Jing glanced at him indifferently, then waved his hand slightly. The guards behind him immediately stepped forward and captured Wangshan. Although Wangshan was skilled in martial arts, he was no match for dozens of guards.

"I will go and inform your master myself." Dongfang Jing said, not taking Wangshan seriously at all.

On this day, Chu Heyi's rice fermentation task was not completed.

But Runxue brewed the first jar of wine on this day. As she said, the wine was clear and tasted great.
