Chapter 134 - First Taste of Jiangning Baijiu

 Afterward, Jiang Ning returned to his second-floor bedroom. After washing up, he sat down at his computer.

By this time, his novel on the Great Xia Literature Network had reached a length of 160,000 characters, a mid-length work.

The novel's readership had now surpassed 200,000, generating over five thousand yuan in daily revenue for Jiang Ning.

Fan comments poured in like a flood:

"Master Jiang, I've read your novel three times and each time I discover new insights."

"Master Jiang, this year's work is the best ever published on the Great Xia Literature Network! The plot is gripping, and the writing is simply exquisite."

"Master Jiang, could you share your contact information? I'd love to discuss the novel's content with you."

"I'm a graduate student in the Chinese Department at Qingbei University. Seeing your work on the Great Xia Literature Network is a great honor. This year's novel has already achieved the quality of a world-class masterpiece."

***

The comments section was flooded with messages, and the tips kept pouring in daily.

The daily total of tips was at least several thousand yuan, and occasionally even exceeded ten thousand yuan.

Crucially, the completed version of the work was experiencing a surge in traffic, with its popularity skyrocketing. The daily readership increased by a remarkable margin each day.

Jiang Ning's bank account now held over two billion yuan in savings. While he no longer felt the initial thrill of seeing the Great Xia Literature Network's daily earnings, he couldn't deny that this was real money. As the saying goes, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.

Moreover, the daily income from the Great Xia Literature Network now surpassed his previous monthly salary. This still gave Jiang Ning a sense of accomplishment.

As the saying goes, "Good news makes one feel refreshed." Since acquiring the Super Dad System, good fortune had followed in quick succession.

*Knock, knock*

Just then, there was another knock at the door.

"One moment," Jiang Ning called out as he stood up and walked to the door.

*Creak*

The door opened to reveal Su Meng, still in her post-bath robe. In one hand, she carried a bottle of wine; in the other, two wine glasses.

"What do you say? Shall we have a few more drinks?" Su Meng asked with a smile, raising a wine glass in her hand.

"Sure, perfect timing! Let me let you try some of my newly brewed baijiu today, my dear." Jiang Ning stepped aside, inviting Su Meng to enter.

"Newly brewed baijiu? Honey, are you joking? Baijiu can be brewed in just two days?" Su Meng asked skeptically.

Indeed, preparing and processing baijiu ingredients—cleaning, soaking, and fermentation—typically takes over a dozen days. Fermentation alone requires at least seven days to half a month. Not to mention the subsequent steps of distillation, aging, and blending.

Su Meng knew for a fact that Jiang Ning had only started brewing yesterday. How could he possibly have finished and be ready to drink the baijiu today? It sounded impossible.

Little did she know that Jiang Ning possessed a magical System Space that could accelerate time. For him, refining a batch of baijiu in two days was more than enough.

In fact, his System Space already contained hundreds of bottles of baijiu that had been distilled that afternoon. All sorts of flavors were available: sauce-aroma, strong-aroma, light-aroma, rice-aroma... And even various fruit wines.

Moreover, the System Space had catalyzed the aging process for every bottle, extending their storage life. For instance, sauce-aroma baijiu, a type that improves with age, becomes smoother, richer, and more fragrant with longer storage.

Jiang Ning accelerated the aging process for his soy-sauce aroma baijiu to around 30 years.

For example, he aged his strong-aroma baijiu to about 8 years, when it would typically take 5-10 years.

And so on.

Now, all the baijiu stored in Jiang Ning's System Space was "newly brewed" yet tasted like aged liquor stored for decades, with an exceptionally smooth and rich flavor.

"I'm not joking. It was just distilled this afternoon. You can taste it later and decide for yourself," Jiang Ning said. He walked to the wardrobe, opened it to block Su Meng's view, and retrieved a bottle of baijiu from his System Space.

The bottle was one of the high-end ceramic empty bottles he'd bought online.

*Ding... ding... ding... ding...*

Su Meng watched with astonishment as Jiang Ning closed the wardrobe with a flourish, holding the fresh bottle of liquor.

Though she had fully believed he could brew baijiu in two days, her knowledge of Jiang Ning told her he was the type who would never lie.

"R-really? Hubby, you made this baijiu in just two days? Is... is it safe to drink?" Su Meng asked, covering her mouth.

"Haha, just take a sip, wife, and you'll see."

Jiang Ning was meticulous, having tasted the wine earlier that afternoon in the villa at Building A17. It was truly delicious—sweet, refreshing, and capable of transporting one into a state of contemplation.

He never expected his homemade brew to be so magical.

Though he had longed to drink more during the day, he restrained himself, knowing that if Mengmeng smelled the alcohol on him later, she would be upset.

Now that Mengmeng and Aunt Wang were asleep, and Su Meng happened to drop by for a drink, Jiang Ning decided to show off his creation.

"Alright, hurry up, husband! I want to see how you brewed this white wine in just two days! And what kind of flavor did you manage to create?" Su Meng asked, her voice tinged with impatience.

Though she had mentally prepared herself for a terrible taste, her curiosity was overwhelming.

They sat at the desk, and Jiang Ning unscrewed the bottle.

Instantly, the room filled with a soul-refreshing aroma of wine.

Su Meng couldn't help but sniff deeply, her eyes wide with astonishment. "How can this fragrance be so rich and lingering? It doesn't smell like freshly brewed wine at all!"

She gazed at Jiang Ning, her eyes filled with suspicion yet tinged with anticipation.

Smiling, Jiang Ning picked up the bottle and poured a glass for Su Meng and himself.

As the liquid flowed into the glasses, its crystal-clear hue shimmered under the lamplight, casting an alluring glow.

Su Meng raised her glass and examined it carefully under the light. The wine clung to the sides of the glass in thick, amber-like streaks, shimmering enticingly.

"Wife, try it," Jiang Ning urged, his eyes brimming with confidence.

Su Meng took a small sip. The moment the liquid touched her tongue, her eyes widened instantly, and the witty retort she had prepared vanished without a trace.

The wine first released a faint fruity aroma, followed by layers of distinct flavors—soy, rich, and others—that unfolded in her mouth. The taste was full-bodied and smooth, leaving a clean, refreshing finish and a lingering sweet aftertaste. It was as if her tongue were embarking on a wondrous journey.

At that moment, Su Meng slowly closed her eyes. Her entire being seemed to drift beyond the mundane, entering a dreamlike, ethereal realm.

Jiang Ning naturally knew that Su Meng had already entered this trance. Without disturbing her, he quietly watched her, captivated by the look of pure enjoyment and intoxication on her face.
