However, he didn’t expect this would be a gift.

Fruit wine?

What was fruit wine?

Could it be wine made from some fruit?

Just like how someone used peach petals to brew wine?

The more shopkeeper Lin thought about it, the more he wanted to try the fruit wine.

But …

Shopkeeper Lin took the wine jar with some suspicion and asked again with uncertainty, “girl, are you sure this is for me and not a treasure to be consigned for sale in the store?”

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Uncle Lin, I’m very sure that this is a gift for you.” Lin Yuelan reserved this jar for Shopkeeper Lin because he was a good person, and she would work with him long-term.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After confirming that this thing was really for him, shopkeeper Lin immediately hugged it tightly like it was a treasure. He even sniffed it and said, “this thing smells so good. It will definitely taste better!”

After he finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain cup, opened it, and poured the contents into the cup.

However, when he saw the red liquid in the glass, his expression was the same as everyone else’s. He was a little shocked.

After pouring half a glass of wine into the glass, he closed the lid and picked up the glass. He sniffed it and asked in surprise and curiosity, “girl, is this really wine?” What kind of wine was bloodred?

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Uncle Lin, didn’t you say that it smelled like wine?”

Alcohol all smelled the same due to the presence of alcohol content. Therefore, one could tell whether it was wine with a single smell.

Shopkeeper Lin looked at the red liquid and exclaimed, “I’ve never seen such a beautiful color of the wine. That’s why I wanted to confirm.”

Every old man could turn into a child when they encountered something they liked.

Lin Yuelan said with a smile, “Because of its color, this wine is called red wine.”

“That’s very interesting. Is this wine made from grains?” Shopkeeper Lin asked curiously.

The people of the Long Yan Kingdom did not know that grapes could be made into wine. Hence, shopkeeper Lin had no such knowledge.

“Not really, but it’s good,” Lin Yuelan didn’t overshare. She was willing to share the wines with her friends, but that didn’t mean that she would reveal all her secrets.

Before her red wine was introduced to the high-end market, she didn’t want people to know that this red wine was actually brewed from purple crystal fruits.

Although shopkeeper Lin sold medicinal herbs, he was also a businessman. Since Lin Yuelan didn’t directly tell him the origin of this wine, it meant that it was a secret.

Shopkeeper Lin took a sip, and then his eyes opened wide. His eyes revealed a look of surprise and disbelief.

Shopkeeper Lin exclaimed, “Girl, if you didn’t say beforehand that this is a present for me, I would have thought this is another treasure you’re going to put at my shop for sale. Girl, do you really intend to give me all the fruit wine in this jar and not sell it? Even if I only drank a mouthful, I know that this is a rare treasure. Aren’t you losing out by giving it to me like this?”

Even now, shopkeeper Lin still seemed to be in disbelief that Lin Yuelan would gift him something so valuable.

Lin Yuelan was speechless and rolled her eyes in an uncouth manner.

After giving out so much wine, only shopkeeper Lin reacted like this. He wanted to confirm it again and again.

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, “Uncle Lin, this is for you. This whole jar is for you. Since it’s already yours, I don’t have any objections if you want to sell it.”

The moment he heard that, shopkeeper Lin immediately covered the wine jar tightly and said sternly, “I’m not selling it. I won’t sell it even if you beat me to death.” He couldn’t bear to sell such a good thing.

After that, shopkeeper Lin sealed the wine jar again and hid it in his treasure vault.

After he came out, shopkeeper Lin took another sip of red wine. Then, he asked curiously, “girl, are there any more treasures you’re carrying?”

“There is!” Lin Yuelan nodded.

Shopkeeper Lin’s heart skipped a beat. He was surprised and a little suspicious. “There really is? Girl, don’t try to mess with this old man.”
