Having completed all my inspections, I began planning our future course of action once more.
First, Sister Xiuer was to set off at the earliest opportunity, taking with her fine wines, gourmet food, and spices. I had her take ten thousand Kirin Guards to ensure her safety. As for the wines, I had given them all sorts of elegant names. The wine brewed from wheat, I called Nüerxiang.
The wine brewed from corn was much stronger. I named it General’s Wine, implying that those who drank it were all young generals. The wine brewed from rice was smoother, with a long, lingering finish. I gave it the elegant name *Jiangshanzui*, implying that drinking it was like gazing upon a flawless empire—the more you drank, the more satisfied you became, and the more you lingered on its aftertaste.
