Chapter 67: 67. The teacher likes you too! (Please read on!)

You little brat, you scared me to death!

As Ning Mu put her on the chair in front of the table and suddenly left that warm embrace, Liu Qingmei felt a sense of reluctance in her heart for some reason.

I wish I could stay in this warm embrace forever!
Thinking of this, Ning Mu had already opened the cork and poured her a glass of wine.

"How come this wine is as clear as a mountain spring?"

Liu Qingmei widened her eyes in surprise.

The alcoholic beverages in this world are mostly rice wine. Other alcoholic beverages such as fruit wine and rice wine are relatively niche but more popular among women.

However, no matter what kind of wine it is, most of them are turbid, and few are as clear as this one.

That's why it is called turbid wine.

The wine that Ning Mu poured out in front of her was even clearer than spring water, which inevitably surprised Liu Qingmei.

What shocked her even more was that after the teacup was filled with wine, a strong aroma of wine immediately wafted into her nose.

Although she seldom drinks, as a warrior, a little alcohol can't do any harm to her.

Immediately, she picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"Hiss... Why is it so spicy!"

Liu Qingmei put down the teacup, very surprised.

At this moment, her curiosity about this drink skyrocketed.

"Master, how does it taste?"

After pouring himself a glass, Ning Mu asked with a smile.

"Hmm... Although it's a little spicy at first, it has a lingering aftertaste after passing through the throat. Although I don't drink alcohol, I think this must be a good wine. If it can be promoted, it will definitely be popular among drinkers. I just don't know how this wine is brewed. Why is it so mellow, long-lasting, and clearer than ordinary wines?"

Liu Qingmei took another sip, savored the drink carefully, then raised her head and stared at Ning Mu intently.

At this moment, her face was already a little flushed from drinking.

Looking down from Ning Mu's perspective, it was extremely tempting!

"The brewing process is complicated, so I won't go into detail. This wine is just too expensive. I've only brewed over 500 kilograms so far, but I've consumed over 2,500 kilograms of refined rice. Basically, I brew 5 kilograms of refined rice for 1 kilogram of wine. If I improve the process later, I should be able to brew 3 kilograms of refined rice for 1 kilogram of wine."

"Five catties of fine rice!"

Liu Qingmei was shocked when she heard this.

Immediately, she silently did the math.

At that time, one acre of land could only produce more than 300 kilograms of refined rice. One kilogram of refined rice cost about five cents of silver in the market. To brew one kilogram of wine, at least two taels and five cents of grain were needed. Add in the labor and venue, and the cost alone was more than three taels.

How much does this pound of wine cost?
"Xiao Mu, right now there are disaster victims everywhere, and food prices are soaring. The victims are starving, and we are wasting food to make such good wine. Isn't that inappropriate?"

"If these refined rice were replaced with inferior coarse grains, how many people would benefit!"

Liu Qingmei frowned, her eyes filled with compassion.

Hearing Liu Qingmei's words, Ning Mu put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Master, you are wrong!"

???

Liu Qingmei raised her eyebrows and stared at Ning Mu. She wanted to hear where she was wrong!
"This wine is not meant for the disaster victims, but for the wealthy and powerful families!"

"It may seem expensive to brew, but after I get my hands on it, I can earn ten or a hundred times the money from the rich. Then I can use the money to buy food, continue brewing, and help the victims. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

After hearing Ning Mu's words, Liu Qingmei was stunned.

After thinking carefully for a while, her eyes lit up and she nodded in agreement: "You are right, I am shallow!"

"The teacher will punish himself with a drink!"

Having said that, Liu Qingmei raised her wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Master, you can't drink like a cow..."

Ning Mu wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

After drinking a glass of strong liquor, the hot feeling immediately made Liu Qingmei's cheeks flushed, and her pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes became gradually blurred.

[Hint: The perfume and liquor you developed deeply impressed Liu Qingmei, not only because of the benefits behind it, but also because your ability was recognized by her. Liu Qingmei's loyalty value increased by 2%, and the current loyalty value is 78%! ]

78%!

Ning Mu's eyes suddenly lit up. He only needed 2% to have a second subsystem!
Always stay with me.

Immediately, Ning Mu opened the system and started searching, wanting to see if he could issue a new task at the moment, so as to complete the 2% as soon as possible.

[Task status: No new tasks can be released! ]

???

Such a good opportunity, and you tell me there are no new tasks released?

Looking at the charming and seductive master who was gradually numbed by alcohol, Ning Mu wanted to slap this damn system hard a few times!

"Master, are you drunk?"

Seeing Liu Qingmei staggering and looking like she would fall at any time, Ning Mu hurried over to support her.

"No...hiccup...I'm not drunk, Xiaomu. I know that you like me, and I like you too!"

"But some things are destined to be beyond your control, do you understand?"

"We should keep this love between you and me, master and disciple, deep in our hearts, okay?"

Liu Qingmei raised her head, grabbed Ning Mu's hand, and pressed it against her heart. Her passionate eyes were flashing with sadness and pain.

this moment.

She suddenly felt so weak.

I really want to completely open the shackles in my heart at this moment!

But in the end.

Reason still triumphs over emotion!
Just after touching the baby food and before he had time to feel the other's heartbeat, suddenly, a scene that made Ning Mu speechless happened!

"Look at me using my power to drive away the drunkenness!"

Liu Qingmei let out a delicate cry and immediately used the power of her cultivation to push Ning Mu back. At the same time, her drunken face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"...You still play like this?"

Ning Mu was speechless for a while.

He was also thinking that while he was drunk, perhaps something fantastic would happen tonight.

It turns out that I was just imagining things!
After a while.

Liu Qingmei opened her eyes and looked at Ning Mu with her eyes flickering.

"Xiao Mu, I've said too much. You don't need to think too much. Do you understand?"

"It's getting late. Go back and rest. I'm going to sleep!"

Liu Qingmei stood up, walked to the bed with her back to Ning Mu, and ordered him to leave.

Obviously, she remembered what she had just said.

Just drunken talk.

Now that I have come to my senses, I feel extremely regretful.

But for some reason, deep down in my heart, I felt a throbbing sensation that I had never felt before. This feeling... seemed like something I had never experienced before.

Could this be the kind of joy that occurs in vernacular novels when two people fall in love and express their true feelings to each other?

"Then... Master, I will take my leave."

When Ning Mu left, Liu Qingmei shook her head, and a hint of deep hesitation and struggle flashed in her eyes.

"What should I do?"

"I can already feel Xiaomu's burning heart..."

"But Liu Qingmei shouldn't be such a shameless woman!"

'Can……'

Liu Qingmei frowned subconsciously, with a look of deep unwillingness in her eyes.

If all this really didn't happen, would I be willing to accept it?
