    In other words, if they didn’t work the grapes, they wouldn’t get to drink the wine.


    That instantly moved the men.


    The big baby, Guo Bing, immediately argued, “Miss Lin, you can’t do this. It’s fine if you want us to go hunting or fishing, but this… Isn’t it a bit of a waste of our talent?”


    Lin Yun nced at Guo Bing. “A waste of your talent?” Then, she chuckled and said, “Then, it appears like your talent will be wasted here, no matter what. I don’t think my ce is suitable for you. How about this? You can go to other ces where your talents are needed. I don’t need you to stay.”


    Guo Bing’s expression changed quickly. He immediately stepped forward and said, “Miss Lin, I didn’t mean that. I’ll go and crush the grapes, okay?”


    Now that they were penniless, they could not return to the capital. More importantly, they had to hide their identities and not let those people find out that they were still alive. Otherwise, they would be hunted down again.


    They were really pitiful. They had homes, but they had no home to return to!


    Before Guo Bing could finish his words, Jiang Zhennan had already walked to the front of the y pot, then squatted down and began to work silently.


    However, when he held the grape, the grape exploded with a pop. The grape juice sprayed on Jiang Zhennan’s mask.


    Jiang Zhennan was stunned for a moment, and he was at a loss.


    “Pfft!” Lin Yunughed.


    “Masked uncle, it seems to me that you can’t wait to drink the wine.” Lin Yun teased, “But you won’t get the wine so soon.” Then, she walked to Jing Zhennan, squatted down, took a grape, and demonstrated it to Jiang Zhennan. She said, “You are too used to holding weapons. These grapes are very fragilepared to weapons. You have to be gentle. Think of it as peeling the grape skin. Just use the same amount of force to crush the grapes.”


    Jiang Zhennan was okay because he had peeled the skin for Lin Yun earlier, but things were not that simple for the other men. They normally didn’t peel off the skin when they ate grapes.


    Jiang Zhennan failed at first, but with Lin Yun’s demonstration, he slowly became more skilled.


    His subordinates were dumbfounded.


    When did their boss be so patient?


    Guo Bing’s bargaining was fruitless, so he could only hang his head in frustration and obediently squat in front of another jar, slowly and patiently pinching the grapes like Jiang Zhennan.


    He kept mumbling, “I’ll crush you. I’ll crush all of you!”


    Since the two bosses had started to work, the three little ones had to work too. There were only so many grapes. They’d be done with them in a while.


    While the five of them were prepared the grapes, Lin Yun walked to a quiet ce and took out the white sugar from her space.


    The grapes were done very quickly.


    Lin Yun gave the men 5.3 catties, 5.6 catties, 5 catties, 6.6 catties, 7 catties, and 7.5 catties of white sugar each. These white sugar were ced in separate y jars, stirred and mixed, and then sealed.


    After everything was done, it was already dark.


    Lin Yun carried the jars one by one to the cer.


    Although the hut was small, it was once Lin Laosan’s family’s old house, so it had a cer. The cer was not big, so Lin Yun used her power to expand it further. Now, the cer was even bigger than the hut aboveground.


    Jiang Zhennan followed Lin Yun, also holding a y pot in his hands. He still had some doubts as he asked, “Miss Lin, can you really make that wine with this?”


    Could a few catties of grapes with some sugar really make the fragrant wine of the western region?


    Lin Yun said mysteriously, “Just wait and see.”


    Of course, wine-making was not that simple. The quality also depended on the fermentation process and time. Plus, Lin Yun had a secret ingredient. She had added a drop of her spring water into each jar.


    After everything was done, Lin Yun nned to cook a few dishes to reward the men.
