It is said that the ancestors of the Tu family originally surnamed Di. Later, they offended the Emperor and were pursued, forcing them to change their names and hide among the common people.
Fortunately, Tu Biao inherited an incomplete secret recipe for brewing "Qianri Zui" from his ancestors. After much exploration and research, he finally developed this legendary wine.
However, along with the secret recipe, his ancestor also left a rule: anyone who successfully brews "Qianri Zui" must be cautious in their words and actions, always keep their promises, and treat others sincerely.
Should anyone violate these rules, any descendants of the Di clan have the right to reclaim their property and banish them from the family forever.
To promote his newly developed "Qianri Zui," Tu Biao, in a moment of impulse, publicly declared that any young man who could drink three jin of "Qianri Zui" would be married to his three daughters.
This matter became a sensation in both online and print media.
In fact, Tu Biao dared to make such a declaration because his wine embodied the essence of the legendary "Qianri Zui" and possessed certain medicinal properties. Those with high alcohol tolerance could at most drink half a jin.
What Tu Biao never dreamed of was that there would be someone in this world who could drink twelve jin of "Qianri Zui"?
How could the legendary "Qianri Zui" not have intoxicated that young man to death?
"San Yan, is that young man really a small farmer from the countryside?" Tu Biao asked, taking a deep breath with a grim expression.
Tu San Yan furrowed her brows slightly and replied, "Dad, I confirmed his address from his bank account. He is indeed a small farmer from the countryside!"
"What strikes me as strange is that the people he has interacted with in Haicheng are all of quite high standing."
Hearing this, Tu Biao couldn't help but ask curiously, "As a small farmer in a rural area of Nansheng Province, who could he possibly meet in Haicheng of such high caliber?"
Tu San Yan said, "From what I understand, this Cheng Xiaofan is an invited VIP of Xianyu He, a business tycoon in Haicheng who has been on the Forbes rich list."
"Furthermore, Xu Minghui, a renowned sommelier with international acclaim, and Liu Tingshu, a special-grade national chef, are all his good friends!"
Hiss!
Tu Biao gasped as if he had a toothache.
How did Cheng Xiaofan manage to connect with Xianyu He in Haicheng?
Tu Biao was familiar with the three individuals Tu San Yan mentioned. Only Liu Tinghui was from Nansheng Province. Could Cheng Xiaofan have met the other two through Liu Tinghui?
Just as he was pondering this, Tu San Yan spoke again on the phone, "Dad, I've just received new information. This Cheng Xiaofan is indeed not simple."
"One of Xianyu He's daughters, Xianyu Yan, became a vegetative state over a year ago due to a car accident. Many renowned doctors from home and abroad were unable to treat her."
"Today, this Cheng Xiaofan arrived in Haicheng and cured Xianyu Yan in a matter of minutes!"
"I never would have thought there could be such a young farmer in this world!"
Tu Biao was stunned upon hearing this and said, "San Yan, no matter the cost, find a way through someone to investigate thoroughly in Cheng Xiaofan's hometown!"
"After all, this concerns the lifelong happiness of you and your sisters!"
"If I fail to honor this promise, the 'Qianri Zui' of our Tu family in the Northeast will surely be lost!"
"Sigh!"
...
"Jeee—"
With a loud, clear cry, the Sky-Breaker Eagle soared into the sky above Bai Mang Lake.
At this moment, the sun had just set, and the fiery clouds piled up in the western sky cast a fiery red glow over Bai Mang Lake and the surrounding mountains.
Cormorants flew in small groups close to the lake's surface.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!"
Xianyu Yan, with her typical naive and sweet demeanor, clapped her hands and exclaimed with joy.
The Sky-Breaker Eagle was still circling high above, yet she showed no fear, completely captivated by the breathtaking scenery.
Bai Yiling, on the other hand, was terrified. She held Xianyu Yan tightly and said, "Yanmei, be careful! Don't keep bouncing around on the Sky-Breaker Eagle!"
"Ah, I got it!" Xianyu Yan, snapping back to reality, was drenched in sweat. She realized she was on an airplane, wasn't she?
But… was there such an intelligent airplane in the world?
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle. Before her car accident, this silly girl probably wasn't so naive, was she?
The Sky-Breaker Eagle let out another piercing cry before slowly descending onto a small boat docked by the lakeshore.
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, Naughty Bao, sensing its master's return to Bai Mang Lake through its spiritual awareness, timely arrived with its swan.
Master, I know you're back. It must be so lonely here without Uncle Dog.
I know you must have missed me a lot when you were out, or you wouldn't have rushed back before it got too late.
Master is a person who values relationships, and I am also a dog who highly values emotions!
"Ah, Sister, Brother-in-law, look quickly! A flock of swans is flying in the sky."
Xianyu Yan excitedly pointed at the sky. "Heavens! There's a little snow-white dog perched on one of the swans!"
"Oh, it's so magical!"
"Neigh!"
As soon as she finished speaking, thirty-six bay horses appeared from a distance, galloping and splashing through the waves on the lake.
"Ah, Sister, Brother-in-law…"
Xianyu Yan was completely stunned by the magical scene unfolding before her.
Her mouth agape, her beautiful eyes wide open, she was speechless.
Is all this real?
How do I feel like I've traveled into a fairy tale?
Even Bai Yiling was mesmerized by the scenery. The setting sun, the bay horses galloping on the lake, Naughty Bao riding on a swan, the Sky-Breaker Eagle perched on the boat shed, and the flying cormorants…
It was all dreamlike, poetic, and picturesque!
Bai Yiling had been to this place with Cheng Xiaofan a few times, and each visit brought her a new, soul-stirring experience and feeling.
"Sister, it's so beautiful here!"
At this moment, Xianyu Yan, regaining her senses, nestled tightly in Bai Yiling's arms like a child, choked with emotion, "Here, my soul feels like it's been baptized!"
Bai Yiling gently stroked her shoulder and smiled, "Yanmei, if you like it, you can come here often in the future!"
"Sister, what is this place?" Xianyu Yan asked.
Bai Yiling smiled, "This is Bai Mang Lake in the primeval forest behind Zhuxi Village. It's also where Xiaofan's ancestors lived!"
"Currently, we are building a road from Zhuxi Village to here. Once this road is completed, this place will undoubtedly become a tourist mecca!"
"Sister, I really envy you!"
Xianyu Yan suddenly sighed. "In the future, I'm afraid my father will hand over the entire family business to me, and I won't have time to come out and play."
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, Naughty Bao, which had already landed, was rustling in a patch of reeds on the lakeshore. With a sudden flick of its mouth, a thick, long loach was tossed onto the shore.
Damn!
Seeing the loach, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but be astonished!
This loach was almost a meter long and as thick as a small arm.
The loach was incredibly active, jumping and wriggling on the ground.
He remembered that he had once bestowed a spiritual rain upon Bai Mang Lake. This loach must have mutated after absorbing the spiritual energy.
It would be tonight's delicious meal!
