Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1484: The reputation of pouring wine and smelling fragrant

After hearing Chu Chen's words, a man who looked like a broken wine jug immediately asked a question.

“I said, ‘This broken wine jar has the word ‘drunk’ written on it, so it must be wine.’”

"You know a ball."

"Haha, everyone, please don't argue. It really is a winery. See what this chubby waiter is holding? This is the wine."

After saying that, Fat Tiger readily opened the box and took out the wine inside.

"The wine is even packaged in such a fine bottle, could it be some kind of celestial brew?"

"Shopkeeper, is it really possible to drink for free?"

Chu Chen immediately recognized the man in front of him as a notorious drunkard in Seoul, a perfect brand ambassador.

What's wrong with letting this kind of person get drunk?

"This gentleman is clearly a connoisseur of wine. I'll make an exception for you later; you can drink for free today, and the others can also enjoy a small glass for free."

"Look, everyone, what the fat guy is holding is our Immortal's Drunkenness, a mid-grade immortal wine, priced at five taels of silver per catty."

Upon hearing that it was five taels of silver, everyone looked at Chu Chen as if he were a fool.

I thought to myself, "Are you robbing me? Other wineries only sell wine for ten coins a pound. Is yours some kind of divine brew?"

Fat Tiger had a simple, honest look on his face. Just as everyone was wondering what was going on and about to start cursing, his hand suddenly slipped, and the wine bottle in his hand fell to the ground.

In an instant, porcelain shards and clear liquor scattered among the crowd.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of alcohol filled the entire area.

"Five taels, you fucking robbed me... Hmm, this aroma of wine..."

The one speaking was still the same old lousy wine jar. He had originally planned to give the shopkeeper a good scolding, as he had never seen such expensive wine in all his life.

The sudden aroma of alcohol made him swallow back his curses.

As a lousy wine connoisseur, how could he possibly see such a waste of wine glasses?

He bent down, picked up the remaining wine from the broken bottle, and took a sip.

The next moment, he went completely mad: "This is real wine... All these years, I've been drinking piss, piss!"

Few wines can be praised by a broken wine jar, and in the eyes of all wine lovers, it is the god of wine.

Driven by his gimmick, countless people flocked to the distillery.

Niu Zi and his wife, holding small wine glasses, warmly poured a glass for everyone.

In just half a day, the reputation of Shenxianzui (Immortal's Drunkenness) spread far and wide, and countless wealthy people sent their servants with silver to rush into Chu Chen's winery.

Chu Chen, on the other hand, carried six bottles of the finest wine and entered the city lord's mansion alone.

He was received by a servant from the city lord's mansion.

When he presented the gift, the servant saw that it was "Immortal's Wine" and looked different from the "Immortal's Wine" he had sent to buy that day. So he bid farewell to Chu Chen and rushed into Lu Jixing's study with the wine in a hurry.

"Lord City Lord, this is the Immortal's Wine that Chu Chen sent over by that young man who came earlier."

"The Immortal's Intoxication?"

Because he had been busy with other things for the past few days, Lu Jixing was completely unaware of the good wine that had appeared in Seoul.

After the servants explained the situation, Lu Jixing immediately stood up and opened a bottle of wine that Chu Chen had brought.

The aroma of wine filling the room immediately piqued Lu Jixing's interest, as a wine enthusiast.

"Haha, there is such good wine in this world! Quickly, grab a glass and let's have a taste."

After saying that, he downed a small glass of strong liquor, which made him burst into laughter: "This is the kind of liquor a man should drink!"

Then he flipped through the box and immediately spotted the price tag.

"Price per bottle: one hundred taels."

"This wine is worth the price. Go quickly and ask Young Master Chu to continue purchasing. I have important things to do."

After hearing this, the servant immediately took a thousand taels of silver and went to Chu Chen's wine shop.

Seeing that it was someone from the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Chen dared not be negligent and led him up to the second floor.

The servant took out a thousand taels of silver: "Young Master Chu, our master said he wants to purchase ten more bottles as gifts!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this and handed the silver back.

"I came to Seoul from the mountains, and I am grateful for the care of the city lord and the young lady. This time, I will not charge you any money."

After saying that, he asked Fatty Tiger to prepare ten bottles of wine for the city lord, and also gave the servant two bottles of mid-grade Divine Intoxication.

Despite the servants' repeated refusals, he was seen off from the winery.

Fat Tiger felt a pang of heartache: "Brother Chen, we worked so hard to make this, and we're just giving it to him like this?"

"Hehe, this little bit of stuff will bring a big reward. Go to the brokerage immediately and find someone clever to sell wine at the distillery. You take Niu Zi and go buy grain. We'll brew our own wine."

"By the way, have Niu Zi set up a hidden warehouse so we can expand and strengthen our business."

Fat Tiger didn't understand Chu Chen's actions. For him, selling so much wine from his house would be enough to ensure they would have no worries about food and clothing.

But Chu Chen's words were like a royal decree, and he immediately shook off his fat and ran away.

The next day, three pretty girls and six burly men were brought into the winery.

Selling alcohol is exceptionally easy at this stage; it's currently booming, so there's no need to haggle over the price—just pay and take the alcohol.

So in less than half an hour, these people got the hang of it.

The girl was in charge of selling and collecting money, the four men were in charge of delivering the goods, and the other two men were in charge of maintaining order and security.

To Chu Chen's surprise, after delivering wine to the city lord yesterday, a small team from the city lord's mansion was dispatched to the entrance of the winery today.

The one leading them was the guard leader who had been kicked by Chu Chen that day.

Chu Chen walked up somewhat awkwardly: "Chu Chen greets Your Excellency."

The head guard glanced at Chu Chen, still feeling a bit angry. This sixth brother had kicked him for no reason.

But today, the city lord sent him to guard his safety, which made him resentful.

However, Chu Chen knew Lu Jixing's intention: to prevent him from offending anyone in Hancheng, not even a head guard.

"Hmph, business is good."

Chu Chen didn't take offense at his coldness and immediately put on a smiling face: "Sir, I was in a hurry that night and offended you. Please forgive me. Actually, it was all a misunderstanding."

After saying that, Chu Chen took out one hundred taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over: "Consider this an apology to the brothers."

Sure enough, the head guard's expression relaxed after he saw the silver.

"Young Master Chu is kind and righteous, so we shouldn't be stingy. From now on, please don't keep calling me 'Master.' My name is Zhou Tianqiang, so just call me Brother Qiang!"

Chu Chen was delighted to hear this. Sure enough, money is useful everywhere.

So he immediately said, "Brother Qiang, you must be tired from your journey. Come up to the second floor quickly, let's prepare some food and drinks and have a couple of drinks."

Zhou Tianqiang thought to himself that he had had a long and arduous journey, and that the city lord's mansion was not even a mile away from here.

But having spent so many years in Seoul, how could he not understand the minds of these businessmen?
