Chapter 463: Chapter 217: The Jade Dew Bottle and Grandma’s Old House (Part 2)

Therefore, Jiang Tao did not intend to heavily publicize the Jade Dew.

If it were misunderstood as a health product, it would be somewhat awkward.

"It’s better not to mention its longevity effect."

"As for pricing, it should be based on its taste and quality."

"For positioning, it should follow a high-end pricing strategy, only producing 1000ML a day, which is just two ordinary bottles of one pound each."

"This small amount doesn’t warrant a big publicity effort."

After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Tao had a rough idea in mind.

In the end, he abandoned the idea of changing to small bottles and opted for a high-end route.

10ML is too little, not even enough for a mouthful, and there’s no way to taste anything.

With an idea in mind, Jiang Tao found a clean plastic bucket at home.

Glug glug glug~

He poured all the liquor from the Jade Dew Bottle into the plastic bucket, and it surprisingly filled almost half the bucket!

"This stuff is quite amazing, it could even be used as a magic prop!"

Seeing that a one-pound liquor bottle had yielded nearly 1000ML, about two pounds in volume.

Jiang Tao clicked his tongue in wonder.

After pouring the liquor, looking at the golden liquid in the plastic bucket, which resembled peanut oil.

Jiang Tao finally resisted the urge to drink a few more sips.

Though it’s tasty, now is not the time.

He had to drive to his mother-in-law’s house for lunch later.

After some thought, Jiang Tao found another plastic bucket and divided the Jade Dew he had poured out into two portions.

After dividing the liquor, he carried the two buckets out of the house.

He placed one bucket in the trunk of the Mercedes G, preparing to take it to his father-in-law’s house to share with Xu Li and the others later.

Jiang Tao carried the remaining bucket towards his parents’ house.

"Eh? Xiao Tao, why are you here? Where are Lili and Xiao Xue?"

His mother Tian Xiaomei, upon seeing Jiang Tao return alone, immediately looked behind him, puzzled.

"They went shopping with Xiao Xue’s grandmother, I came back to bring something for you and dad."

"Aunt’s here too."

Jiang Tao greeted his mother while also greeting Tian Mingrong, who was standing next to her.

"Good morning, Xiao Tao."

Tian Mingrong smiled and greeted Jiang Tao, her attitude very cordial.

"What’s that you’ve got in your hand?"

After exchanging greetings, Tian Xiaomei curiously looked at the plastic bucket in Jiang Tao’s hand and asked.

"I got a little something good from a friend, old liquor."

"My friend said, drinking this regularly can be healthy, so you and dad can have a small drink each day."

"By the way, while it’s good, don’t overindulge, too much isn’t good either."

As Jiang Tao spoke, he handed the plastic bucket to his mother.

"Old liquor? This is liquor? I thought it was cooking oil."

Tian Xiaomei gently shook the plastic bucket after taking it from Jiang Tao.

Looking at the thick liquid inside, it didn’t look like liquor at all, more like cooking oil.

"Where are dad and uncle? I don’t see them."

Jiang Tao scanned the area, not seeing his father or his uncle, and curiously asked.

"They went to our old house."

"The house over there partially collapsed in heavy rain last year, and the walls have also collapsed in several places."

"Uncle plans to renovate the old house so that we have a place to stay when we come home in the future."

Mentioning the old house, Tian Xiaomei sighed.

The old house may be rundown, but it carries many memories for her and her brother, Tian Xiaoguang.

Previously, looking at their dilapidated old house, she and her brother wanted to renovate, but they didn’t have the means.

After all, building a house years ago was not the same as it is now.

Back then, when someone built a house, family and friends from the village would come to help.

It was all about relationships, not money. All you needed to provide were two meals a day, no wages required.

Bricks and cement were also very cheap.

You could build a small courtyard and move in for at most thirty to forty thousand.

These days, without talking about buying an apartment in the county.

Even building a house in the countryside costs at least tens of thousands of dollars.

This is with saving at every step.

If you want to use high-quality materials, the price would multiply several times over!

"It’s long overdue to be renovated. No matter how good a house in the city is, it’s just a house; the house in the village is a home."

"Okay, mom, you chat with aunt. I’ll go over to see dad and uncle."

With that, Jiang Tao didn’t linger chatting with his mom and aunt, turning around to head out and drive towards Tian Family Manor.

He was very familiar with the road to Tian Family Manor.

When his maternal grandparents were still alive, his mom often took the three brothers to visit there.

Back then, there were hardly any cars, not even motorcycles were common.

The three brothers would walk there.

When the third brother got tired, the elder brothers would take turns carrying him.

Those days, everyone lived poorly, but the bond between siblings was pure.

Later, after the grandparents passed away, and uncle moved to the ranch because of work,

Jiang Tao and his brothers seldom went to their grandmother’s house.

Without their grandmother, the feeling of home changed.

The old house gradually fell into disrepair, eventually becoming a dangerous building marked for concern by the village, completely uninhabitable.

Before meeting Tian Mingrong, Tian Xiaoguang had planned to remain a lifelong bachelor.

He didn’t want to spend tens of thousands of dollars to renovate the old house.

Moreover, he didn’t have that kind of money.

By chance, Tian Xiaoguang and Tian Mingrong, this couple in love, were reintroduced and quickly fell for each other under Jiang Tao’s encouragement.

Tian Xiaoguang now started planning for himself and Tian Mingrong, as well as their soon-to-be-born child.

Going from a solitary bachelor to soon being married and becoming a father.

Giving his wife and child a home is a top priority.

Tian Xiaoguang and Tian Mingrong discussed for a long time and finally decided to sell the old and small house Tian Mingrong bought in the county.

With this money, they planned to build a residence on the original site of the old house in Tian Family Manor.

As Jiang Tao drove into Tian Family Manor, it immediately caused a stir among the village’s informal intelligence network at the entrance.

"Another Mercedes, it must be going to Tian Xiaoguang’s house again?"

"Why wouldn’t it? I see it’s headed straight for Tian Xiaoguang’s house."

"That old guy Tian Xiaoguang is really lucky now. Who would have thought he’d end up with such fortune!"

"I’ve seen Tian Xiaoguang’s wife, she’s really beautiful, way above any of the other women in Tian Family Manor."

"I heard he got lucky because of a nephew from his sister’s family, he’s going to work in Beijing after the holiday."

"That’s fate for you! Everyone used to laugh at him, but now the ones who laughed have become the biggest joke!"

"I wish I had such a capable nephew! Maybe I could also get some benefit!"

The group of elderly at the village entrance looked towards the direction Jiang Tao’s car had disappeared, filled with envy for Tian Xiaoguang.

Crunch~

Jiang Tao parked the car at the alleyway entrance of his mom’s old house, got out of the car, and walked in.

Entering the alley, it took less than a minute to reach a low, dilapidated house.

Amidst the newly built houses of the neighbors, his grandmother’s old house looked even more rundown.

Seeing the wooden door open, Jiang Tao entered the courtyard.

He saw his dad and uncle standing in the yard, pointing and seemingly planning something about the main house.

"Dad, Uncle."

On hearing Jiang Tao’s voice, Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaoguang turned to him, smiling and greeting him.

"Son, you’re here."

"Xiao Tao is here."

Jiang Tao approached, smiling, and said:

"Uncle, you’re finally going to renovate the old house, let me know if you need funds, I’ll support you."

Tian Xiaoguang waved his hand, smiling:

"No need, it’s enough, Xiao Rong and I plan to renovate simply."

"After all, the two of us will be working in Beijing with you, so our visits here will be limited."
