Chapter 199 The Brand of Osmanthus Village

Words : 1423 Updated : Sep 23rd, 2025

The Osmanthus Village of today is far more prosperous than before. As soon as the car climbed onto the highway on the high slope, one could see the villa perched on the cliff. No, it should be called a castle! The exterior of the castle has already been completed, and from a distance, it creates a striking visual impact. This is further enhanced by the forty or so similar but much smaller mini-castles below. It gives off the feeling of an ancient city with deep roots. According to Xia Liu's estimate, in just over a month, they should be able to move into their new home. Xia Liu first drove to the beach, arriving just in time to hear the fishing boats rumbling, obviously engaged in their fishing operations. He didn't go to check, as he could tell just from the information on his phone. The fishing boats had been out once in these days; today was the second time. Last time they brought in five million, Liang Caiming and Tan Jingxue must have cast the net deep, otherwise, how could they fish out sea fish worth five million. Not far from the beach, a huge wharf was under construction. Looking at this, in a few more days, the fishing boats would be able to dock. After watching for a while, Xia Liu drove towards the distillery. Before he even got close, he could see the smoke wafting out through the chimneys. Upon entering, he saw about twenty people at work, some adding firewood, others changing water. "Xia Liu, you're back," Uncle Li, who was directing the villagers in the fermentation process, saw Xia Liu return and immediately ran over. "Uncle Li, how is it going, which batch are we on now?" "We just started today, and you've come back just in time. The ingredients have all been fermented according to your method. In another ten minutes, we'll go and see how it tastes." "Hmm, you've all worked hard," Xia Liu nodded in satisfaction. Now that the liquor was produced, it was time to find a processing plant. Due to Huang Xue's affair, he had been delayed the past few days. After tasting the liquor, he needed to quickly find a factory. Osmanthus Village's own brand must have its own trademark. Before the liquor was finished, Xia Liu went next door to the work area to take a look. This section was managed by Li Dazhuang and since the workload was minimal, it only involved a few of Young Master Liao's villagers. "Brother Xia Liu!" Xia Liu waved his hand and asked, "How's the quality of the medicinal liquor these past few days?" "It's all good. Every time the truck comes to haul it away, they taste it," Li Dazhuang responded confidently. "Hahaha, that kid Daniu will probably get his wife pregnant if he keeps tasting it for another dozen days." "Hehe, isn't that just perfect?" "Of course, it's a good thing. Drinking liquor that costs ten thousand a small bottle, the children born are bound to have a life of fortune." When the topic of the young man tasting the liquor came up, several villagers present burst into laughter. After all, as soon as he finishes tasting, he immediately reacts and hurries home after reporting. "Haha, take it easy. Next time Tianluo Pharmaceutical's people come to take the liquor, go to the factory with him. They should have the tools to measure the medicinal liquor, and then bring a set back." "Understood!" "Xia Liu, the liquor is ready, come and have a taste," Uncle Li's voice came from next door while Xia Liu was about to say something else. "The liquor is out, let's all go have a look! Our own brand!" Xia Liu's voice roused everyone's excitement. A few seconds later, everyone arrived where the liquor was flowing. Uncle Li and a few people were holding cups at the outlet, and soon the cups were filled with liquor. The appearance of the liquor carried a rich fragrance. Different from the medicinal liquor. In this fragrance, not only was there the scent of osmanthus, but also a faint medicinal aroma. This was the scent of Osmanthus combined with medicinal liquor! And all of this liquor was made using traditional craftsmanship, making it even more aromatic than those produced by machinery. The first glass of wine was naturally for Xia Liu to taste. Xia Liu didn't decline, taking the wine glass and lightly sipping it. The first sensation on his palate was fragrant with a thread of silky sweetness, which, as it slid down his throat, gave a sense of cool and clean refreshment. Moreover, with the faint aroma of medicine, various flavors blended together for an endless aftertaste, compelling Xia Liu to take another sip. Seeing Xia Liu take another sip, everyone else couldn't help but follow suit. After they drank, each person was shocked then and there. "This wine is simply too delicious!" "Incredible, did I really brew this?" "It's just so refreshing!" "Haha, I'm going to take a jar home!" "Me too!" ... After a small taste, the villagers at the scene got excited. If not for their cultured nature and rational minds, they probably would have started fighting over it. "What's all this about taking it home! Listen to what Xia Liu has to say. Without him, you couldn't even dream of brewing such wine," Li Zhi couldn't help but shout angrily. Hearing Li Zhi say that, everyone else responded with a wry smile. He was right, without Xia Liu, this wine would have never been discovered. "No need to be polite, everyone, right now it's just the testing phase. Drink as much as you like, take as much as you like home!" "Wow!!!" The moment Xia Liu said to drink to their hearts' content, the people present went completely wild. Experience new tales on empire Growing up in the countryside, who doesn't drink alcohol—each one was a lover of wine. Now to be able to drink this kind of wine infinitely, it was indeed a great joy in life! While everyone was exhilarated, Xia Liu quietly left the distillery. Xia Liu drove to the entrance of the village, where there was a roughly five-acre plot of vacant land by the side of the road. He decided to discuss with Li Zhi about building a packaging factory there. Of course, the workers for the factory would certainly not be the villagers, so they'd need to recruit widely! With a plan in mind, Xia Liu called Li Zhi right away. Li Zhi's response was solid, "Do whatever you like, you're in charge of Osmanthus Village." It wasn't just Li Zhi's voice, it was the voice of all the villagers of Osmanthus Village. Xia Liu had long since become the leader of Osmanthus Village. He felt a bittersweet emotion. Before he could say more, Li Zhi was already clamoring about drinking on the other end of the line. After hanging up, Xia Liu called Gu Fangxia. "You want me to build you a processing plant?" Hearing this news, Gu Fangxia almost sprayed out the tea in her mouth. This guy, not seen for a few days, comes back only to dump more work on her. In the past, Gu Fangxia was worried about not having projects to work on, but now she was anxious about when she would be able to finish her projects. Currently, her people were busy building villas, and there was no spare manpower to construct a processing factory. "Sister Gu, you can call people you trust to come and help, I haven't made any rules," Xia Liu said. "Is that really okay?" Gu Fangxia hesitated, nowadays developers' biggest fear is encountering contracting teams that cut corners and reduce quality. Xia Liu dared to trust her so much. "I trust you," he said with a simple sentence that carried so much meaning. "Understood," Gu Fangxia didn't say anything else, she just needed to work hard to complete the project. As for the equipment for the packaging factory, Xia Liu decided to discuss it with Liu Lanxin, a pity that girl wasn't answering her phone. As for this, Xia Liu was not in a hurry; the equipment could be handled by someone else. He still had something even more important to set in motion...
