Chapter 37 Going Home
After leaving the dean's office, Shi Lin went straight back to his dormitory and waited for Shi An to pick him up.
During this week, Shi Lin spent most of his time refining wine Gu.
He successfully crafted over one hundred and twenty mid-grade wine Gu.
Shi Lin was truly exhausted.
Although Shi Lin had reached the bottleneck of level four, he had no energy to improve his cultivation because he had been refining Gu worms for most of the week.
Shi Lin is now just one step away from passing the level 4 exam.
Soon, Shi An knocked on the door of Shi Lin's dormitory.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Shi Lin quickly opened the door, and sure enough, Shi An was standing there.
"Greetings, young master!" Shi An greeted Shi Lin with a simple and honest smile.
"Brother An, you've worked hard. Come in and rest for a while," Shi Lin said to Shi An.
"No, young master, we need to hurry back, or we won't be able to get back before dark," Shi An said to Shi Lin with a sheepish grin, scratching his head.
"Alright, let's pack our things and get ready to go. Brother An, could you help me pack up all these wine jars? I don't need to make any more wine Gu anymore, and it's inconvenient to keep these jars in the dorm, so let's take them home," Shi Lin instructed Shi An.
The brewing process for a medium-grade wine Gu takes seven days. Therefore, when Shi Lin started school, there were less than seven days left before the brewery opened for business. So, when school starts next time, Shi An won't need to send wine here anymore.
Moreover, thanks to the efforts of this period of time, the brewery has successfully completed the production of the required number of wine Gu, and even exceeded the required number by a large margin.
The operation of the brewery would have nothing to do with Shi Lin from then on, since Shi Lin was only six years old and could not help with the operation.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An replied, then picked up a few empty wine jars and ran downstairs.
Since the purpose of this trip was to pick up Shi Lin, only Shi An came to Notting Junior Academy without bringing anyone else. Therefore, it was just Shi Lin and Shi An who had to carry the wine jars.
Shi Lin stretched his joints and then helped Shi An carry the empty wine jars downstairs.
Because these wine jars were empty, they weren't very heavy, and Shi Lin could carry two by himself.
In this way, Shi Lin and Shi An worked together and moved dozens of wine jars to the carriage downstairs in just over ten minutes.
Besides these wine jars, Shi Lin also brought back to the Shi family one hundred and twenty mid-grade wine Gu that he had refined this week.
With these wine Gu, the quality of the winery's beverages was guaranteed.
The carriage was already crammed with all sorts of things, leaving Shi Lin no room to move around.
But there's nothing they can do about it; after all, they prepared to bring back so much stuff.
Before sunset, Shi An drove the carriage back to Shijia Village with Shi Lin.
Shi Zhen and Fugui waited for Shi Lin at the entrance of the courtyard.
The brewery has been completed, and the workers have started working overtime. The secret chamber for the Gu worms is also producing alcohol at a rapid pace.
So Shi Zhen and Fugui no longer needed to keep an eye on the brewery, and today the two of them returned to the Shi family's courtyard to get some rest and prepare for the brewery's opening in a while.
Seeing Shi Zhen and Fugui standing at the gate of the courtyard, Shi Lin waited for Shi An to slow down the carriage before jumping off.
"Dad! Uncle Fugui!" Shi Lin greeted Shi Zhen and Fugui with a smile.
"Our son is back. It's good that he's back. Come on, let's go back and rest." Shi Zhen stepped forward, took Shi Lin's arm, and led him into the courtyard.
Along the way, the number of servants in the Shi family mansion doubled!
"I recently bought a lot of slaves from a slave trader. Besides these people, a third of the people in the brewery are slaves, and several of the brewery's master brewers are also slaves," Shi Zhen explained to Shi Lin with a smile.
"I see." Shi Lin nodded.
The brewery tries to avoid employing locals as much as possible, as the relationships among locals are complex and intertwined. Shi Zhen was also worried about the brewery's secrets being leaked, which is why he bought so many slaves.
With so many buyers, the Shi family must have run out of working capital.
Soon, the two arrived at the restaurant entrance.
"Fugui, Xiao An, clear out the people around here," Shi Zhen said to Fugui and Shi An, then led Shi Lin into the restaurant.
"Yes, sir!" Fugui and Shi An quickly responded, and then began to shoo people away.
Shi Lin followed Shi Zhen into the restaurant and sat down at the table.
"Son, you weren't wronged, were you?" Shi Zhen asked Shi Lin with concern.
"I don't feel wronged, but Yan Jin is no good either. He gave me a cultivation method that will increase the speed of soul power cultivation, but I will die if I cultivate for too long. Yan Jin is like Xiao Tianhe, he wants to completely seize our family's property!" Shi Lin said seriously to Shi Zhen.
After hearing Shi Lin's words, Shi Zhen took a deep breath and nodded.
"Well, Yan Jin won't make a move against our family anytime soon, and we should have enough wine Gu. You should focus on your cultivation. I'll see if I can recruit some powerful soul masters, even if it comes at a higher price." Shi Zhen pondered for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Dad, recruiting Soul Masters is unrealistic. Our family's assets are not enough to compete with those Soul Masters. Our best option is to escape! So let's make some preparations for our escape in advance." Shi Lin thought for a moment and said seriously to Shi Zhen.
"Okay, I'll have Fugui contact the people in the Star Luo Empire. If there are any problems, the two of us will head straight for the Star Luo Empire! Once we're there, neither Yan Jin nor Xiao Tianhe will be able to deal with us." Shi Zhen nodded, looking at Shi Lin in agreement.
"By the way, Dad, how many wine Gu does our brewery still need?" Shi Lin asked Shi Zhen again.
"We're still short thirty mid-grade wine Gu, but we have enough high-grade wine Gu. What's wrong? Did you bring them back?" Shi Zhen asked Shi Lin after thinking for a moment.
"Hehe, Dad, I brought back 120 mid-grade wine Gu this time, which is just enough to brew a batch of wine before the brewery opens," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi Zhen.
"You've had a tough time. You're only six years old and you're already under so much pressure." Shi Zhen looked at his son with some heartache.
"Dad, don't think about it too much. Let's hurry up and eat. The food won't taste good if it gets cold." Shi Lin comforted Shi Zhen, seeing his worried expression.
"Mhm," Shi Zhen nodded.
Afterwards, the father and son had a meal at the restaurant, and then went back to their respective rooms to rest.
During this time, both Shi Zhen and Shi Lin were exhausted, so they fell asleep shortly after returning to their respective rooms.
