Though Wei Mingting’s expression wasn’t as obvious as Yun Shi’s, his eyes clearly held pride and satisfaction.
Once Wei Yilin finished his full set of sword techniques, he quickly ran up to Wei Mingting, looking at him with eager eyes.
“Very good. For your age, doing this well is already excellent,” Wei Mingting praised.
“Hehe,” Wei Yilin scratched his head shyly, clearly delighted to be praised by his father.
Yun Shi stepped forward and gently patted Wei Yilin’s head. “Yilin, you’ve really grown up. You’re looking more and more like your father.”
“Of course! I’m my father’s son!” Wei Yilin said proudly.
“But you still need to keep working hard — keep a humble heart and listen carefully to your teacher’s guidance,” Wei Mingting instructed. He was stricter with his son, not wanting him to become arrogant after a bit of success.
“Mm! Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll study hard,” Wei Yilin promised.
Then he turned to look at Wei Ruo and specifically asked, “Eldest Sister, do you think I’m getting more and more awesome now?”
Wei Ruo rolled her eyes inwardly. She didn’t know why Wei Yilin always had to ask for her opinion every time — as if he wouldn’t be satisfied until she gave some kind of comment.
Wei Ruo felt a bit uneasy inside but kept a smile on her face. “You’re probably getting more and more impressive.”
“Then, Eldest Sister, do you think I’ll be like Father in the future?” Wei Yilin asked again.
“As long as you work hard and put in enough effort, I believe you’ll have a good chance.”
You little brat — can’t you go ask your dear Wanwan sister for these kinds of flattering words instead?
That’s what Wei Ruo was thinking, and just as she expected, Wei Qingwan stepped in and spoke to Wei Yilin, “Little Brother Yilin is very talented. As long as you study well, you’ll definitely become as amazing as Father, achieve great merits, and serve the country and people.”
With that one sentence, she praised both father and son.
The smile on Wei Yilin’s face instantly grew even brighter. Sister Wanwan always says such nice things — why can’t Wei Ruo learn a bit from her, seriously!
Wei Ruo didn’t know what was going on in Wei Yilin’s mind, but when she saw Wei Qingwan coming forward, she decisively stepped back to give the two of them some space.
That brother-sister affection and harmony between the two of them — they could do all the “loving sister, respectful brother” act they wanted, just don’t drag her into it.
After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, there was hardly any farm work left. Apart from some hardy rapeseed crops that occasionally needed harvesting, there weren’t many other crops in the fields.
Even the shiitake mushroom cultivation Wei Ruo was running in Xingshan County had been put on hold for the time being — because even in caves where temperatures were relatively stable, cool in summer and warm in winter, the current season still couldn’t meet the conditions needed for mushroom growth.
After the seasonings she supplied to Drunken Immortal Restaurant stabilized, the production in Wei Ruo’s small workshop also became steady.
With the workload in her hands easing up, Wei Ruo began planning her next project.
She had previously mentioned that she would study vinegar-making when things got less busy. But after some inquiries, Wei Ruo discovered that winemaking was actually more profitable than vinegar.
People didn’t have very high standards when it came to vinegar quality, but it was different with alcohol — nobles were very particular about what they drank and were willing to pay a high price for it.
So, Wei Ruo decided to take advantage of this farming downtime to improve her winemaking methods and start preparing for her own distillery.
She planned to choose a location close to a water source for the distillery, which would be more convenient for future production.
Moreover, the water source had to be of high quality, as the quality of water would greatly affect the quality of the wine.
