Siheyuan: I am reborn as a good person He Yuzhu

Chapter 158 Good Days Are Just Around the Corner

After receiving the prescription from Mr. Cheng, Xu Huizhen asked in confusion: "Master, this is..."

The old man waved his hand and said, "We are destined to meet, so you don't have to be polite.

This is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It can nourish the body and delay aging. It will be helpful to you."

Xu Huizhen's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "Really? Thank you so much, Master!"

The old man chuckled twice: "Don't be polite, this is all because of Yu Zhu."

"Master, how dare I take credit for it?"

He Yuzhu quickly declined.

"Okay, let's clean it up!"

The old man urged.

Xu Huizhen nodded in agreement, put the recipe away, and then took out the prepared ingredients with He Yuzhu.

"Yuzhu, your wife is so beautiful, no wonder you are so infatuated with her."

The old man commented casually as he looked through the recipe.

"Hey, indeed, she has a very good personality, too."

"Well, it's really good."

The old man agreed.

In the following days, He Yuzhu went to the old man's yard every day to learn skills.

His heart was filled with unprecedented motivation and expectation.

Although Xu Huizhen is busy preparing breakfast every morning when she wakes up, her heart is full of joy.

Her husband was able to achieve success in his studies, which made her feel happier than marrying into a wealthy family.

Time flies. More than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. He Yuzhu and the old man have learned most of the winemaking techniques.

At the same time, Xu Huizhen also discovered that He Yuzhu seemed to have become more gentle and elegant, like an ancient scholar.

"Ouch, why does my stomach hurt so much?"

After dinner, He Yuzhu held his stomach and whispered to himself.

"What's going on? Are you having a stomachache?"

Xu Huizhen asked with a worried look on her face.

He Yuzhu shook his head. "I can't really tell, but I feel really uncomfortable, like something is stirring in my stomach."

He then fell onto the sofa, his face pale.

Seeing this scene, Xu Hui was extremely anxious and rushed to the door.

After a while, she rushed back home with a bottle of medicine.

"Yuzhu, drink this medicine quickly."

Since the pharmacy was closed, she begged the owner to open the door and sell medicine for her.

Faced with the bitter smell coming from the bottle, He Yuzhu frowned but swallowed a pill without hesitation.

Xu Hui, who was guarding him at the side, was really panicked, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

After a while, He Yuzhu's forehead began to sweat, and he curled up on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Because she was too worried, Xu Huizhen's loving gaze never left him until late at night.

It was not until the first ray of light in the early morning shone into the room that He Yuzhu's pain was relieved a lot.

The first thing he saw when he woke up was his wife who was sleeping beside him.

Gently touching her soft and smooth hair, He Yuzhu felt a little guilty.

Looking at his wife's tired face, he got up silently and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

183. Winery

When he returned to the room with the steaming buns and porridge, he happened to meet Xu Huizhen who had just woken up.

"Yuzhu, are you ready?"

Xu Huizhen got up from the sofa, walked over, inquired about his condition with concern, and gently touched his forehead.

"It's okay. You must be tired after having to stay with me all night."

"Let's go wash up first, and then eat!"

He Yuzhu placed the dishes and chopsticks while talking.

Xu Huizhen responded, took the towel and went out.

At breakfast time, He Yuzhu was eating, and his master's words came to his mind:

"This secret formula is only known to you and me, and cannot be disclosed to any third person."

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart and decided to learn more about the situation today.

He Yuzhu came to No. 663 with two breakfasts.

"Master, I brought you breakfast."

Placing the bun in his hand on the table, he gently pushed the door of the inner room and walked in, only to see that the old man had woken up, but did not seem to want to get up.

"Master, are you feeling unwell?"

He Yuzhu hurried forward and felt the old man's pulse with his hand.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Let me take you to the hospital."

"Silly boy, Master, I am still alive."

The old man stood up and patted He Yuzhu's shoulder gently.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu became even more worried.

"Master, you teach me skills every day. It's so hard."

"What's so hard about it? I've been a free man all my life and I don't care about fame or fortune."

An elusive smile appeared on the old man's lips.

"But how can you teach me skills without asking for anything in return?"

"Yuzhu, the luckiest thing in my life is to have you as my apprentice."

The old man's eyes were full of kindness, which made He Yuzhu feel warm in his heart.

"But how can I repay your kindness?"

He Yuzhu lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed of himself when he realized his master's identity.

The old man patted his shoulder and said, "Master doesn't need your reward."

"But there is one thing in this world that I can be proud of."

When the old man said this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"I have finally found my successor to the winemaking business, which has been my lifelong dream."

"Master, I am afraid I cannot live up to your expectations."

He Yuzhu stood up excitedly and said while holding the old man's hand.

"I believe I didn't make a mistake."

The old man said firmly.

"But Master, I don't know if I can learn it well!"

“No, you will learn it.

Just follow this secret recipe and you will definitely succeed!"

The old man said firmly.

"really?"

He Yuzhu was a little surprised. After all, this was a secret recipe, not an ordinary recipe!

"Of course, the master would never lie to you."

The old man laughed.

“Okay, Yuzhu, you should familiarize yourself with these secret recipes first.

Once you have mastered it, you can make wine according to the secret recipe.”

"Ok."

He Yuzhu nodded heavily.

"Remember, don't make any mistakes."

The old man warned.

"understood."

He Yuzhu nodded in response.

"Then Master, I'm going to rest first."

The old man waved his hand and went back into the house.

After he left, He Yuzhu carefully read the secret recipe left by the old man.

"what?"

He Yuzhu suddenly felt confused.

These secret recipes may seem ordinary, but they actually contain profound meanings.

Although those medicinal herbs are common, several of them are very rare.

He Yuzhu searched carefully and found that these medicinal materials have only appeared on the market in the past two years.

"Master, how do you know these herbs?"

He Yuzhu's heart was shocked and he couldn't help but ask.

"Haha, I traveled all over the country back then, so it's normal for me to know all kinds of precious medicinal herbs."

The old man said with a smile.

"I see. So, in the future I will also be able to understand many things?"

He Yuzhu said happily.

"Of course. Once you have thoroughly studied these herbs, the wine you brew will be successful."

"Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to taste such good wine?"

"Hahaha……"

The old man laughed.

"Of course, our ancestors' culture has been passed down for thousands of years, and some of them have a history of tens of thousands of years!"

"Over such a long period of time, there are so many fine wines handed down, but it's a pity that the younger generations don't have the chance to enjoy them."

The old man's words revealed a deep sense of regret and loneliness.

After hearing this, He Yuzhu felt an indescribable desire in his heart.

He secretly vowed to work hard to become stronger and make those ancient traditions shine in modern society.

After making up his mind, He Yuzhu subconsciously clenched his fists.

After memorizing the secret recipe, He Yuzhu left the old man and hurried to the tavern in the town.

"Hui Zhen, Master gave us a secret recipe today. We have a chance to get rich."

He Yuzhu showed the paper recipe excitedly. Xu Huizhen took it and looked at it, but was stunned.

Because she knew very well that the effects of those medicinal herbs were far more complicated than what the old man said.

"Yuzhu, what are your plans?"

She looked at her husband, doubts welling up in her mind.

"Haha! I want to open a brewery!"

He Yuzhu said without hesitation.

However, when Xu Huizhen understood her husband's plan, her face immediately turned gloomy.

Seeing his lover's reaction, He Yuzhu quickly added: "Huizhen, listen to me, there are not many wineries in the market now.

That’s why I had this idea.”

"Yuzhu, I support your plan.

But are you really sure?"

Xu Huizhen knew very well that opening a winery would not only require huge investments, but if it failed, their savings of many years might be wiped out.

A few days later, seeing his wife's worried face, Xu Huizhen couldn't help but feel shaken.

Over the years, Xu Huizhen has always supported He Yuzhu no matter what happened, but this time made her feel uneasy.

Recalling the scenes of watching her grandfather brew wine since childhood, Xu Huizhen is well aware of the difficulties and uncertainties involved.

Sensing his lover's hesitation, He Yuzhu tried to convince her, "I will carefully consider all the steps and not take any risky actions, Hye Jin."

The next day, He Yuzhu could hardly sit still, his mind full of excitement, thinking about how to use the newly learned skills to make money.

Thinking of the wine cellar his wife had mentioned and its important location, he couldn't wait to go out and take action.

After arriving at the tavern, He Yuzhu walked straight into the backyard.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen followed nervously and asked, "Yuzhu, what are you doing so eagerly?"

She was afraid that her husband would accidentally cause damage to the area where the ingredients for making wine were stored.

The underground wine cellar is located on the east side of the tavern's backyard and is usually taken care of by Xu Huizhen herself. It contains a variety of rare wines, each of which is a priceless treasure and cannot be damaged in any way.

Hearing the voice behind him, He Yuzhu stopped and smiled at her.

"I just want to take these treasures out for a look."

These words immediately made Xu Huizhen's heart rise to her throat, "Are you crazy? They are all extremely precious items!"

Although she also hoped to bring in income in this way, this was the most important inheritance of their family after all and must not be acted upon lightly.

"No, listen to me, Huizhen, I have thought about it over and over again."

"These wines will only go bad if they are left at home. It would be better for me to use them for research."

He Yuzhu planned to settle the ** things first, and then look for a suitable factory.

As long as the winery starts operating, good days will be just around the corner.

Xu Huizhen stood there in a daze.
