Siheyuan: A master brewer starts with a jar of bone-strengthening wine!

"Ding—The Super Dionysus System has been repaired. Host, do you wish to confirm binding?"

"Pairing successful! Preparing to activate core functions."

"Activating... Please wait."

"Activation complete!"

hum-

Suddenly, a transparent panel emitting a blue light appeared in front of Liu Dong's eyes. Only he could see it, and it looked exactly like the interface of those old games he used to play on his phone.

It's very simple; there's only one button on the entire screen: [Enter the Wine Cellar].

He raised his hand and pointed.

boom!

My consciousness sank, and I was instantly pulled into a dim space.

Before me was a place that looked like a cave, pitch black, with barely any light.

This place is quite large, stretching as far as the eye can see. Roughly estimated, it's about 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, roughly the size of a playground.

But all around was empty; there was nothing there, not even a blade of grass.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, a "ding" sounded in my mind: "Host's current situation is difficult, a newbie bonus is being issued!"

Reward Item: [Common Wine Vat] x1!

The words had barely left his mouth!

A large, dark vat suddenly appeared on the ground with a "bang." It was round and plump, more than a meter tall and thick, with a diameter of almost a meter.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of information was shoved into his brain, allowing him to immediately understand what it was.

To put it bluntly, this wine cellar is just a warehouse.

It can store wine jars, or pile up other things; it's not picky.

But that wine vat is the real owner—it's used for brewing wine.

As long as you throw in grains or pour in some ready-made wine, it will start fermenting, purifying, and aging on its own, without you having to do anything about it.

Don't be fooled by its name "Ordinary Wine Jar"—it may sound unremarkable, but the wine it produces is anything but mediocre.

Its only strength can be summed up in two words: delicious.

Its aroma is irresistible, its taste is smooth, and its strength is just right. No other wine on Earth can compare.

After completing tasks, the system will reward you with even more powerful wine vats, such as the "Strengthening Wine Vat" that can boost your stamina, the "Bone Strengthening Wine Vat" that can strengthen your bones, and even the "Invisibility Wine Vat" that can make you disappear for a short time after drinking it...

Each type of wine vat produces wine with different effects; one sip is equivalent to ten years of hard work.

call……

Liu Dong exhaled a sharp breath, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning.

It's too cruel.

That's absolutely mind-blowing.

With this thing in hand, who cares about those jackals and tigers anymore?

Go dream!

He was originally a lazy young man who didn't want to do anything decades in the future, but inexplicably transmigrated to this era and occupied the body of Liu Dong, who shared the same name.

The original owner's father sacrificed his life on the Korean battlefield a few years ago and became a martyr; his mother also passed away a month ago.

All alone, with no relatives or friends to rely on.

Before my mother's body was even cold, the group of people in the yard immediately rushed over to seize the house, using both soft and hard tactics, and coercing me in every way possible.

The original owner was already feeling aggrieved, and this further provocation caused him to become completely exhausted and die on the spot.

This benefited Liu Dong, who had traveled through time.

Ten days after landing, he had a clear understanding of the situation.

It is summer, 1954.

The location is No. 7 Nanluoguxiang, an old-style courtyard house.

He was seventeen years old.

The courtyard was inhabited by workers from the steel rolling mill. But unlike in later generations, the factory was not yet state-owned; it was still Lou Bancheng's private property.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, He Daqing, Lao Jia, and others were all workers he hired.

The houses weren't allocated; they were bought with their own money. But everyone was short of cash and could only afford small rooms, with several people crammed into one room.

But what about Liu Dong?

He is a family member of a martyr, and the state provides him with care; the house was given to him for free, and it's not small either.

There are two large houses in the backyard, one for the deaf old lady and the other for him.

The main house has three main rooms and two side rooms. The main house is over 70 square meters, and the side rooms are also over 10 square meters. They are connected by a corridor, and there are three steps at the entrance.

How to describe it? Three words—impressive!

Others would spend a fortune to get a place here, but you get to occupy such a big house for free?

unfair!

So as soon as his mother left, all the "beasts" in the courtyard immediately surrounded him, wanting to divide up the property.

Jia Zhangshi wanted to kick him out, but the policy blocked it, so it didn't work; Yi Zhonghai pretended to be a good person, saying something about "young people should know how to be modest" and persuaded him to vacate a room for someone else to live in; Yan Bugui was the most frivolous, insisting on exchanging rooms with him, offering his own tiny, dilapidated house in exchange.

The original owner was tormented every day, suffered a mental breakdown, and finally couldn't take it anymore and left.

Liu Dong today is no longer a pushover.

That's a ruthless character who traveled back from the future; he has a fiery temper and an even sharper tongue.

These people came back a few more times, but instead of getting anything out of it, they were scolded and left looking humiliated and ashamed.

It's been quiet lately.

But the feud is already irreconcilable.

"Dongzi, are you home?" A woman's voice came from outside.

Liu Dong immediately composed himself and came out of the house.

A woman in her forties stood at the door, her face kind and smiling: "What are you busy with?"

"Director Zhang!" He immediately stood up straight, snapped to attention, and gave a sharp military salute, his voice booming, "Good morning, Director Zhang!"

"Stop, stop!" Director Zhang waved his hand with a smile. "You're not going to be in the army, don't give me that platitude. I'm here today to bring you good news!"

She is the director of the Beiheyan Subdistrict Office, in charge of this alley.

Liu Dong had dealt with her several times before when she was applying for the martyr's certificate, and they were quite familiar with each other.

"Please have a seat, Director. Let me make you a cup of tea..."

"No need for tea," Director Zhang waved his hand. "I'm not thirsty, let's get down to business!"

"Go ahead, I'm listening!"

"Two things." She held up two fingers. "First, the steel rolling mill will be restructured this September and become state-owned. The neighborhood committee held a meeting and decided to take care of the families of martyrs; you'll start working there directly as a permanent employee in September!"

"Really?" Liu Dong's eyes widened, his heart pounding in his chest. "I have a job now?"

These days, being a worker is a very valuable status; it's a secure job, and it even gives you an aura of prestige when you're looking for a partner.

"Second thing!" Director Zhang continued, "Knowing you're struggling financially, I've found you a temporary job at that little tavern near Qianmen Gate. The work is a bit tiring, but the pay is good—180,000 a month! Want to take it?"

Before the words were finished—

A soft "Ding!" echoed in his mind: "The Super Dionysian System has issued a new mission: Join a tavern as a temporary worker. Completion reward: [Strengthening Wine Vase] x1, 888 million RMB!"

Immediately afterwards, an explanation popped up:

[Strengthening Wine Jar]: Can brew strengthening wine, which permanently enhances physical strength after drinking, with immediate effects.

"Accept the mission?"

Two options popped up on the panel in front of him:

【whether】

Liu Dong remained expressionless and lightly touched the word "Yes" with his fingertip.

A windfall? Who wouldn't take advantage of such a good thing? After seeing Director Zhang off, Liu Dong turned around, locked his own gate, and walked out.

"You heartless bastard..."

As soon as he arrived at the Intermediate Court, Jia Zhangshi spotted him from afar and immediately spat out a curse.

She thought Liu Dong hadn't heard her, but actually, he had very sharp ears and heard every single word.

However, Liu Dong had important business to attend to right now, so he didn't have time to argue with this old lady.

Speaking of which...
