Da'an's best son-in-law

As soon as Ye Chen and Wei Yanran returned to the Wei family, a young boy came to the small courtyard to report.

"Miss, uncle, a man named Jin Wanfa came outside the Wei family yard, claiming to be delivering goods to the lady."

Ye Chen and Wei Yanran looked at each other and nodded with satisfaction. Jin Wanfa was very efficient in doing things, "Let him deliver the things in."

"Yes, uncle." The boy who reported the message got the order and retreated to send the message to Jin Wan.

"Husband, do you want to make wine?" Wei Yanran asked, tilting her head slightly.

When he was at the brewery just now, Ye Chen not only bought the batch of malt, but also purchased a set of brewing equipment, although it was the simplest.

Ye Chen nodded unabashedly and said, "Does Li Zheng like drinking? We will brew some ourselves and send it to you."

Wei Yanran's pretty eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she asked a little doubtfully, "My husband knows how to make wine?"

The craft of winemaking was not extremely complicated in the Da'an Dynasty, but at least it required professional training. Before Ye Chen came to the Wei family, he had always been a member of the Ye family, so how could he learn how to make wine.

Faced with the former question, Ye Chen could only respond vaguely, "The Ye family has been a winemaker before. At that time, I was young and curious and learned a few tricks."

Wei Yanran nodded and said nothing more.

"Miss Wei, someone Jin has delivered the goods to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Wanfa's slightly bloated figure appeared at the door of the yard, followed by several boys carrying boxes.

Instructing the boy behind him to place the goods in his hands properly in the courtyard, Jin Wanfa walked up the steps and cupped his hands with the two of them, smiling flatteringly.

"Uncle, miss, the boxes in the front are filled with malt, and the boxes in the back are some brewing stuff that my uncle wants."

Ye Chen walked down the steps and did a brief inspection, and couldn't help but admire Jin Wanfa's carefulness.

The boxes containing earthenware jars and other brewing equipment were stuffed with cotton to prevent knocking, while the boxes containing malt were wrapped in black cloth, so the true condition of the goods inside could not be seen from the outside.

Ye Chen smiled knowingly. He didn't expect that Jin Wanfa looked bloated, but he was a thoughtful man. He knew that he wanted this batch of malt to be used for other purposes, so he wrapped it in black cloth to avoid being distracted by outsiders.

"Thank you for your hard work, Boss Jin"

After checking the goods, Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said

Jin Wanfa waved his hands quickly, with a sincere and fearful look, which looked quite funny. "What are you talking about, uncle? If it weren't for you, my batch of malt would only be used to fill the pig pen. You are still willing to buy it at the market price. You are simply my benefactor, Jin Wanfa."

After finishing his courtesy, Jin Wanfa glanced at the two of them and said with a very meaningful look: "Miss, uncle, I have delivered the goods. If there is nothing to do, I will leave first."

Wei Yanranzhen nodded lightly, Jin Wanfa bowed to the two of them, and then left with the boy behind him.

Looking away from the people who were leaving, Wei Yanran walked down the steps and said to Ye Chen who was playing with the pots: "Husband, do you need help?"

Although wine making is not complicated, the efficiency is still too low if Ye Chen works alone.

Putting down the earthen pot in his hand, Ye Chen nodded and said, "Just call those two girls Lian'er and Xiao Xing over."

Although Lian'er is usually a bit rough, she is very agile when it comes to work. With the two of them helping her, I guess the brewing can be completed before dark.

Lian'er and Xiao Xing were visiting other maids' rooms. When they heard the news that Ye Chen was looking for them, they returned to the small attic without stopping.

"Wow, uncle, what new things have you made again? The yard is full of them."

As soon as the two people entered the courtyard, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. Except for the malt, Ye Chen had already unpacked all the boxes. Many bottles and cans occupied half of the small courtyard.

"Stop standing there stupidly, come and help me remove these black cloths," Ye Chen ordered while packing up the earthen jars.

After calling the two of them, Ye Chen turned to Wei Yanran beside him and said, "The three of us will just work on the next thing. Madam, please go inside and rest first."

Wei Yanran is his wife and the young lady of the Wei family. It would be inappropriate for her to directly participate in such menial work as brewing wine.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yanran shook her head slightly, gently rolled up her sleeves with her jade hands, walked forward and started to unwrap the black cloth on the malt box.

"Madam, you don't have to do this," Ye Chen frowned and said.

Wei Yanran didn't seem to hear anything, turned around and smiled softly at Ye Chen, minding her own business in unraveling the black cloth. Although as the eldest lady, she usually has a high status and does not do any work, the former's subordinates are very agile in their movements.

Seeing the former's persistence, Ye Chen sighed and stopped stopping Wei Yanran.

Turning his head slightly, Ye Chen noticed that Wei Yanran was wearing a long skirt today, and it was very inconvenient to move cautiously in the courtyard filled with pots.

Stopping what he was doing, Ye Chen passed through the obstacles of bottles and jars in front of him and came to Wei Yanran who was unpacking the cloth. He slowly squatted down under the slightly astonished look in the former's eyes and gave Wei Yanran a kiss. The skirt was lightly tied with a knot.

Lowering her head and looking at Ye Chen who was tying the hem of her skirt, Wei Yanran's apricot eyes showed a rare tenderness.

After tying the knot of his skirt quickly, Ye Chen raised his head and met Wei Yanran's eyes.

Facing Ye Chen's clear but fiery eyes, Wei Yanran turned her head slightly, as if to avoid it. "Tie it up, it will be much more convenient."

Wei Yanran did not answer, but made a soft "hmm" sound, as thin as a mosquito.

With the concerted efforts of several people, dozens of tightly wrapped boxes were all dismantled, and the bottles and jars were neatly placed in the courtyard according to Ye Chen's requirements.

Lian'er carefully placed the last earthen jar in her hand and came to the place where the boxes were stacked. The boxes with the black cloth removed had already exposed the yellow-green malt.

"Uncle, what did you buy these malts for?" Lian'er asked curiously as she grabbed a handful of malts with her little hand.

In their usual understanding, malt is not even considered a grain, it is just something used to fill pens and feed pigs. Naturally, they do not understand what Ye Chen is doing by buying these things.

"You'll know in a minute, Xiaoxing, you two help me move the big earthen pot over."

"Madam, let's open the lid and pour the malt into the earthen jar."

Ye Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave instructions to several people.

Lian'er and the two moved the largest earthen jars, and with the concerted efforts of several people, boxes of malt were poured into the earthen jars.

Looking at the orderly earthen jar equipment in the courtyard, Ye Chen clapped his hands with satisfaction.

Next, it’s time to officially start brewing beer.
