163 You’re welcome to come and freeload anytime
The Cui family, one of the 30 families from Qinghe, had a high status and had accumulated a lot of treasures.
Cui Lingyi had also seen glass cups before, but she had never seen such a unique glass cup.
Like a tall lamp, it made the fruit wine inside dazzling and colorful.
When Cui Lingyi got closer to take a look, she was completely shocked. Her eyes stopped moving as she asked in disbelief, “This is actually transparent glass?”
She had never seen glass that was completely transparent. She had thought that the color was from the cup. When she walked closer, she realized that it was the color of fruit wine.
Before Bai Wutong could answer, she asked in surprise, “How did you do it? How did the color of the fruit wine suddenly become pure and clear?”
Together with the glass, it was like the water of the Jade Pool in the Heaven.
Bai Wutong smiled mysteriously. “It’s the fruit wine that I specially made. Try it again.”
Cui Lingyi’s mind was filled with doubts. At Bai Wutong’s prompt, she stopped thinking and raised the cherry fruit wine to her lips.
The taste became clear and sweet. The rich taste spread on the tip of her tongue. There was a mellow sweetness and a refreshing feeling.
Cui Lingyi had never drunk such a unique fruit wine. The alcohol content was just right. It suddenly relaxed her tense nerves, as if the pressure on her had disappeared without a trace.
Cui Lingyi did not know how to describe the wine.
That slightly intoxicating feeling was like meeting someone who could make her addicted and she could not extricate herself.
Seeing her expression of enjoyment, Bai Wutong’s eyes curved. “How is it? It’s good, right?”
No one could escape the charm of a mixed cocktail.
Cui Lingyi praised her exaggeratedly. “This wine should only exist in the Heavens! Little Phoenix, what wine is this? It’s too delicious!” After drinking the fruit wine concocted by Bai Wutong, the other fruit wine was incomparable.
Bai Wutong pointed to the decorations on the goblet. “It has a tail. Let’s call it a cocktail!”
“A cocktail?” Cui Lingyi looked shocked.
‘That sounds awful.’
It was so delicious and beautiful. With this name, the class was instantly lowered.
Cui Lingyi frowned and asked in confusion, “Phoenixes have tails too. Why not call it Phoenix Feather Wine?”
“…”
What she said seemed to make sense. Moreover, the Phoenix Feather Wine did sound more classy.
Bai Wutong compromised. “Then let’s call it the Phoenix Feather Wine.”
Satisfied, Cui Lingyi lifted a second glass of thornberry wine to her lips.
The thick fragrance of the thornberries gradually melted in her mouth. She said in even greater surprise, “I like the thornberry fruit wine even better. The sour sweetness of the thornberries beats the sourness of the cherries.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “I hope you’ll remain firm when you drink the next cup.”
Cui Lingyi put down thornberry wine gracefully and again picked up the third glass of mulberry wine at a leisurely pace. She inhaled the aroma greedily, like a vampire.
It was unbelievable. How did the Bai Wutong make an ordinary fruit wine become so tempting in such a short period of time?
If she liked it so much and fell in love with it after drinking it once, the other nobles would definitely be intoxicated by it.
The rich scent of the mulberries was even stronger than that of the thornberry and cherries. However, Cui Lingyi herself did not like to eat mulberries. Her favorite flavor among the three types of Phoenix Feather Wine was still the thornberry-flavored one. She maintained a firm stance and even glanced smugly at Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “The Phoenix Feather Wine needs to be specially brewed, so it can only be stored for a shorter time. Do you think it will affect the sale?”
Cui Lingyi quickly shook her head. “The more this is the case, the more it can show how precious the Phoenix Feather Wine is. There will definitely be more people buying the wine with money!”
Bai Wutong said, “This is the special Phoenix Feather Wine. I’ve also developed two other versions. You can try it later.”
Cui Lingyi agreed with a smile and asked, “How much do you plan to sell the special Phoenix Feather Wine for?” Then she joked, “If it’s especially expensive, I’ll come to your house to steal wine in the future.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Then come to my house to steal wine in the future. I plan to sell a bottle of special Phoenix Feather Wine for 500 taels.”
Cui Lingyi was stunned. “That’s expensive!”
Bai Wutong pointed at the cup she raised and said, “It’s a special fruit wine. Only certain raw materials are available in this season, and they are extremely rare. Moreover, the special Phoenix Feather Wine is placed in pure glass bottles. Do you still think it’s expensive?”
In this world, no one had planted lemons or green oranges yet. She had only found a green orange tree in the mountains and had only plucked a few dozen kilograms of green oranges. The special wine was naturally extremely precious.
Cui Lingyi said in surprise, “It’s not then.”
Just the pure colored glass was worth it for the upper-class people to bid high prices for it.
Then, if it contained Bai Wutong’s special Phoenix Feather Wine, not to mention 500 taels, it was even worth 1,000 taels.
Bai Wutong went to the kitchen again and took out the sample bottle that Sheng Huaixuan had just sent over. “Look.”
When Cui Lingyi saw the exquisite and pure glass bottle, she was stunned. “This is too beautiful!”
Sheng Huaixuan got someone to customize a transparent glass cup. Unexpectedly, when the craftsman of the glass factory heard this, he quickly shook his head and said that he couldn’t make it.
Bai Wutong felt that a transparent glass bottle looked the best, so she flipped open Yang Quanzi’s “Book of Hundred Industry”. She roughly understood the level of glass technology in this world before entering the RV space to search for information. She improved the glass technology a little and handed it to Sheng Huaixuan.
Bai Wutong had only changed it a little, so that the craftsmen could make pure-colored glass, but it would not cause the precious glass to depreciate.
The craftsman made a transparent glass based on the slight modifications by Bai Wutong. Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” immediately gave her a considerable amount of fees for the modification and even promised to supply her with the glass at the cost price in the future.
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” was naturally trustworthy. Bai Wutong had earned a lot of money before she even started selling fruit wine.
Even if Qingfeng and the others followed her for the rest of her life, she could still do nothing at home and support them.
However, she felt that this was not good. Even if the poison in their bodies was only temporarily suppressed, they should have a new life and a beautiful future while they were alive.
Bai Wutong smiled. “You can take it if you like.”
Although Cui Lingyi liked it, it was too expensive. She shook her head and smiled. “Don’t give it to me. If you give it to me, I won’t come to your house to freeload. Compared to the glass bottle, Little Phoenix’s Phoenix Feather Wine is more to my liking.”
The corners of Bai Wutong’s lips curled up. “You’re welcome to come anytime.”
Cui Lingyi had been waiting for Bai Wutong to say this. She was overjoyed. “Little Phoenix, you’re so nice.”
Everyone liked the Phoenix Feather Wine very much. Bai Wutong immediately led everyone into production and mixed the Phoenix Feather Wine in a uniform ratio. Apart from the glass bottle, Bai Wutong also specially designed a wooden box for packaging.
Sheng Huaixuan opened the wooden box. It was layered like a three-dimensional painting. He took out the glass bottle of Phoenix Feather Wine and exclaimed, “This wine will definitely become famous.”
