Bu Yi's face paled in shock, and he quickly stood up, sweat beading on his forehead.
If this burly grassland woman really decided to fight him, he definitely wouldn't win.
Moreover, Bu Yi was puzzled. Who was this old woman? Not only was she frightening to look at, but she also exuded a murderous aura all over her body.
It was as if she wanted to devour Bu Yi alive. In short, she was terrifying.
"You, you... what do you want?" Bu Yi asked, clutching his chest, trembling.
Siton Kedun said not a word. She directly flung silver at Bu Yi's face, pointed at the main entrance, and said, "Before I get angry, get out! Otherwise, I'll skin you alive!~"
You ungrateful wretch, daring to come and steal Sweet Baby's recipe. Do you think you're so clever?
You're full of lies and hypocrisy. You pretend to consider Sweet Baby, but in reality, you want to get your hands on the recipe and go back to brewing wine yourself.
Si Ya Kedun had seen too many of these clumsy tricks. To try and show off in front of her was simply asking for humiliation.
Bu Yi: "..."
Is this woman crazy?
What business is it of yours if I'm asking about that little sister's recipe?
"I, I'm not asking for it for free. As I just said, if the recipe is successfully improved, I will give her fifty taels of silver..." Bu Yi mumbled.
If Xi Tian girl was willing to hand over the recipe, he could pay fifty taels of silver in advance.
After all, wine was very popular, and with careful packaging, a single bottle could recoup the cost.
Hearing this, Si Ya Kedun sneered, "You want to buy someone's recipe for a mere fifty taels of silver? Is your head filled with dung soup? People from the Central Plains like to give wine as gifts for celebrations, and it's indispensable at banquets. If they encounter good wine, wealthy people don't mind spending a little extra. Selling a bottle or two for thirty to fifty taels of silver is normal!~"
"But you, you're offering only fifty taels of silver for a recipe, and you even said you'd pay after it's successfully improved. Do you think Xi Tian is a fool? Are you the only smart person in the world, right?"
Such a cunning person, if he were on the grasslands, he wouldn't live past thirty.
Bu Yi: "..."
So, what does it have to do with you?
That little sister Xi Tian hasn't said anything yet, but you're babbling endlessly.
"If, if you think fifty taels of silver is too little, I can increase it to a hundred taels..." Bu Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had definitely met his match today.
Si Ya Kedun frowned and roared angrily, "A hundred taels of silver? Are you trying to bribe a beggar? Even a thousand taels of silver won't do..."
As she spoke, Si Ya Kedun looked at Little Xi Tian and said, "Miss Xi Tian, do you still have that wine? Bring me a bottle, let Grandma taste it!~"
The nomads on the grasslands were also skilled at brewing wine. Millet wine, mare's milk wine, and so on were common.
Si Ya Kedun, as a female leader, although she didn't drink much, possessed a hidden talent for tasting wine.
Little Xi Tian came back to her senses, smiled, and said, "I happen to have a few large barrels at home. It's about time for them to be brewed. Aunt Si Ya, please wait a moment, I'll go get you a bowl..."
Moreover, she had brewed dozens of vats of wine in her space, enough for Little Xi Tian to make a fortune.
It couldn't be helped, the crops in her space were very high-yielding, especially the green and purple grapes.
Her family couldn't eat so much, and selling them didn't fetch a good price, so she had to brew wine.
A moment later, Little Xi Tian walked in with a bowl of crystal-clear wine, followed by Han Cheer, who was still groggy.
He had been sleeping soundly in the guest room, but as soon as he smelled the rich aroma of wine, he trotted over.
"Wow, Sweet Baby, what kind of wine is in this bowl? Why does it smell so good?" Han Cheer exclaimed in surprise.
Little Xi Tian's eyes curved with a smile, "It's wine made from grapes. It tastes sweet and delicious. Would Uncle like to try a sip..."
Han Cheer's mouth watered, and being extremely thirsty, he reached out to snatch the wine bowl.
Seeing this, Si Ya Kedun shot him a glare. Her imposing aura instantly intimidated Han Cheer into submission.
Bu Yi felt like he wanted to die. After going back, he would have to find a fortune teller to cast a hex for him. Why had things been so unlucky lately?
Si Ya Kedun picked up the wine bowl, first sniffed it, and then took a shallow sip.
As the cool, mellow aroma spread through her mouth, Si Ya Kedun knew it was a fine wine.
In this era, barbarians and people from the Central Plains didn't know how to ferment grapes to make wine. This was her first time tasting such a flavor, and besides surprise, there was also endless praise and admiration.
For a six-year-old girl to be able to brew such delicious wine, how could fifty taels of silver measure its worth?
Si Ya Kedun handed the remaining half bowl of wine to Han Cheer, "You try it too..."
"Eh, good, good!~" Han Cheer eagerly took the wine bowl, tilted his head, and poured it into his mouth.
A moment later, his eyes widened, and he burst into laughter, "Wow, good wine, good wine! This bowl of wine could be exchanged for a mule on our grasslands. Sweet Baby, quickly, pour me another bowl..."
Han Cheer was not exaggerating at all. The grasslands had no shortage of anything except donkeys, horses, cattle, and sheep.
If they encountered good items, such as silk cloth, high-quality tea, antique vases, famous calligraphy and paintings, etc., the nomads would exchange their large livestock for them.
Si Ya Kedun snatched the wine bowl and reprimanded Han Cheer, "I asked you to taste the wine, not to drink it heartily! Go to the side and don't speak!~"
Han Cheer: "..."
You told me to drink it, and now that I'm addicted, you're throwing your weight around. You're so unreasonable.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bu Yi quietly shuffled towards the door, planning to slip away.
"Stop!~" Si Ya Kedun roared, stepping forward and grabbing Bu Yi by the collar. "What, your lies have been exposed, and now you want to run?"
"I, I, I... I didn't!" Bu Yi shrunk his neck, extremely frightened.
Si Ya Kedun gritted her teeth, "Such good wine, and you still want to take it back to improve it? Improve your ass! You're a grown man, yet you have the nerve to beg Sweet Baby for the recipe. This is fraud, this is deception! If you were born on our grasslands, I would strip you naked and throw you on the hillside to be fed to the wolves!~"
Bu Yi: "..."
Hearing this, Han Cheer was also furious, cursing Bu Yi, "You scoundrel, you dare to deceive even Sweet Baby? I think you're itching for a beating. Ren Du La, come in!~"
A moment later, Ren Du La strode in.
Han Cheer clenched his fists and said, "Go, drag this scoundrel out and beat him a hundred times with shoe soles. Let's see if he dares to come out and swindle people again!"
Bu Yi, with a look of despair: "..."
