Dongfang Jing looked at Chu Heyi's calmness and smiled: "Why wouldn't I dare to do that? Chu Heyi, you are doomed to fail."

If Dongfang Jing had not arranged for people to poison the food, he would not have had such strong self-confidence.

But Chai'er told her that the poisoning had already been done and Chu Heyi would never be able to brew good wine.

How could she lose?

It can only be Chu Heyi who loses.

Chu Heyi pulled out a golden hairpin from her head and said, "Your Highness, please take out something as a token of your love."

Dongfang Jing did not hesitate, pulled out a jade hairpin from his head and handed it to Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi handed all the gold and jade hairpins to Xie Lin: "Master Xie, you are our witness today. You can't be biased towards Her Highness just because she has lived in your house for half a month."

Xie Lin pursed his lips, took the gold hairpin and hairpin, and said nothing.

A smug smile appeared on Dongfang Jing's face. Chu Heyi also knew that she had lived in Xie's house for half a month, and also knew that Xie Lin would take care of her!

The winemakers were completely disappointed, thinking that there was no way Chu Heyi would be able to brew good wine today.

First of all, Her Royal Highness the Princess’ analysis is correct.

Secondly, as the daughter of a court official, how dare Chu Heyi win against Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Thirdly, even if she really brewed good wine, Xie Lin, as a court official, would never dare to let the princess lose to the daughter of an official.

Isn't that a slap in the face of the princess and the royal family?

Therefore, no matter whether Chu Heyi can brew good wine today, he will definitely lose, and their long-term and stable livelihood as winemakers will be completely ruined.

Wang Shan asked quietly, "Third Master, won't you stop Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess of Cheng'an?"

If this continues, the Princess of Cheng'an County will definitely lose.

They worked hard for more than half a month to finally open this distillery, and they are about to start making liquor.

Even if Chu Heyi is not good at brewing wine, they can always find an expert to take over the brewing business.

However, if the princess and Lady Cheng'an were allowed to continue quarreling like this, Wangshan was worried that Lady Cheng'an would lose. Given the princess's hostility towards Lady Cheng'an, she would never allow this winery to continue to exist.

Xie Lin shook his head slightly.

Wangshan opened his lips and stopped talking.

Anyway, his master is rich, so if Lady Cheng'an loses, then so be it. After all, his master can afford to lose such a small amount of money.

Thinking of this, Wangshan calmed down.

Chu Heyi instructed the wine workers to pour the fermented rice into the boiler.

He also instructed the people who were burning the fire: "Keep adding firewood. The fire should be big and strong. Don't interrupt it."

Although the wine workers no longer had any hope for Chu Heyi, it was better to just do their job as it came rather than quitting now and not getting paid for today's work.

Therefore, everyone was still very obedient and did things according to Chu Heyi's instructions.

The water in the boiler gradually boiled, and the steam spread everywhere. The temperature in the spacious house was much higher than outside.

Everyone worked quietly. The sounds of chopping wood, the boiling boiler, and the burning firewood mixed together and entered everyone's ears. Although it was messy, it had the effect of calming people's hearts.

Dongfang Jing always felt that he would win, so he didn't think those voices were noisy.

Chai'er held her hand and said softly, "Princess, let's wait patiently."

Dongfang Jing hummed, looked at Xie Lin, and then looked at the thin tube from which wine came out. This was her first time in such a place, and she found it hard to believe that wine would flow out from there.

She felt that the wine should not come out. Chai'er had someone put poison in the fermented rice. No matter what method Chu Heyi used, the wine would not come out.

"The wine is out!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.

Dongfang Jing's thoughts were interrupted and he looked over in surprise.

Then I heard someone next to me say, "The wine is starting to be served!"

Everyone was excited.

Everyone looked over. The wine flowed out slowly like a stream, ding-dong, ding-dong, and flowed into the jar.

"It's so clear! I've never seen such clear wine!" someone exclaimed.

Dongfang Jing's face changed drastically and he suddenly looked at Chai'er.

Chai'er said: "Your Highness, don't worry. Even if we can produce wine, it may not be drinkable."

At this moment, someone happened to take a drop of wine and put it into his mouth. He was so spicy that he kept clicking his tongue. "No, no, this wine is too spicy. I can't drink it. I can't drink it at all!"

Dongfang Jing's expression turned from gloomy to bright. He walked forward and looked at Chu Heyi, "Cheng'an County Master, you can admit defeat now!"

Chu Heyi blinked his eyes. "Did I say that the first batch of wine is drinkable? Didn't you see that the jar for the first batch of wine is very small? It is so small that it can only hold five kilograms of wine."

Dongfang Jing: "Everyone is watching here, Chu Heyi, do you want to cheat?"

"No, the first drink is very spicy. The first five pounds can be used as alcohol. If you light a fire, it will burn and it is completely undrinkable." Chu Heyi said.

She learned the word alcohol from Runxue. She had never heard of it before. It is said that alcohol is a beverage with very high concentration and purity, which can be used for disinfection and burning.

Although she didn't quite understand some of the words, she could understand the general meaning.

Chu Heyi: "When the jar is full of five catties of wine, the wine flowing out from the back can be drunk. In the same way, the further back a jar of wine is boiled, the weaker the wine becomes. So, the first five catties cannot be drunk, and the rest of the two hundred catties cannot be consumed either, as the taste is not good."

Dongfang Jing asked her, "How long will it take to burn a jar of wine?"

Chu Heyi glanced outside and said, "It should be finished burning by dark."

Dongfang Jing shouted angrily: "You want us to wait for you here until dark?"

"Your Highness, if you want to make a bet, you can only wait until dark." Chu Heyi smiled and said, "If Your Highness doesn't want to, you can admit defeat now."

Dongfang Jing's eyes were red with anger, and he pinched Chai'er's hand and said, "You want to delay for a long time and make me admit defeat? It's impossible. Then wait until dark."

Chu Heyi added: "In fact, there is no need to wait until dark. Wait until this five-jin jar is full and then bring a large fifty-jin jar. Your Highness the Princess can have people taste it."

Dongfang Jing glared at her without saying anything.

Chai'er asked someone to bring a large chair, and she sat on the chair, waiting patiently and confidently.

The five-jin jars were soon filled up and replaced with larger 50-jin jars. The sound of flowing water was still there, which sounded particularly pleasant to the ears of the wine workers.

More than anyone else, they hoped that Chu Heyi could make good wine so that they could continue working here and earn some income for the family.

Dongfang Jing saw the expectant looks of the wine workers and began to feel uneasy. She lowered her voice and asked, "Chai'er, is it really done?"

Chai Er comforted her: "It is absolutely true, we have received a reply. Even if the Cheng'an County Lady can brew wine, she cannot drink it. Your Highness, let's be patient and wait."

I waited for another stick of incense.

Dongfang Jing stood up and looked down at Chu Heyi: "Almost half of the jar is already filled. You said before that this jar can be drunk. Can we have it tasted now?"

"can!"

Chu Heyi personally asked someone to bring bowls, and took out ten bowls of wine and placed them neatly on the table.
