Chapter 337: A Hint
The moment the wine was poured out of the flask, the familiar fragrance of wine wafted through the air.
Whats this? Qin Feng widened his eyes.
Liu Yuan smiled, Have you never smelled such a fragrance before? This is the wine recently produced by the Divine Workshop. It has a rich flavor and a lingering aftertaste, even surpassing the legendary brew Drunken Dream of Star Seizing Pavilion.
This wine is divided into several grades, and the sales are limited every month. If I hadnt had some friendship with Yuan Zhai from Divine Workshop, I wouldnt be able to buy this top-quality wine even if I had money.
Is this wine called Drunken Immortal? Qin Feng asked.
Hmm? You know about this wine? Old Master Liu looked curious, and Liu Tianlu also glanced over.
Qin Feng smirked; how could he not know? This wine was brewed by the Divine Workshop upon his request. Moreover, Yuan Zhai, the old master, did keep his promise, strictly controlling both the monthly sales and the undiluted original brew.
Qin Feng could tell at a whiff that what Old Master Liu called the top-grade wine was, at best, the third grade.
In fact, I brought some gifts, and this Drunken Immortal is one of them. Qin Feng felt a bit awkward, then took out three jars of the original brew from his spatial ring.
This might create some issues in the relationship between Old Master Liu and Yuan Zhai, but with no other gifts in hand, Qin Feng couldnt care much.
Seeing the wine jars, Liu Yuan and Liu Tianlu raised their eyebrows slightly. Drunken Immortal was usually sold by the jug, and no one had ever bought it in jar form, let alone three jars!
Moreover, since Qin Feng had never visited Imperial City before, Liu Yuan and Liu Tianlu had a guess in their minds: this boy had been deceived.
However, as it was Qin Fengs first visit to the Liu family, to cater to his pride, Liu Yuan and Liu Tianlu tacitly pretended not to notice.
Ill accept your goodwill, and well put the wine jars aside. Old Master Liu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Since its brought out, Grandpa and Dad might as well taste it.
Uh.
Qin Feng didnt pay attention to the twos expressions, directly picking up a jar of wine and placing it on the stone table.
As the seal on the wine jar was broken, a strong aroma filled the courtyard, making people lose themselves in its fragrance.
This aroma was even more intoxicating than the one in the wine jug!
Is this really Drunken Immortal? Old Master Liu exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, its genuine.
And its also the authentic original brew, Qin Feng silently added in his mind.
Liu Yuan and Liu Tianlu lifted their wine glasses, and with just one sip, they were amazed.
The quality of this liquor was unparalleled.
Putting down the wine glass, Liu Yuan looked at Qin Feng with interest. A dragon vein appeared in Jinyang City, and the elder of the Divine Workshop was ordered to build the Dragon Protection Monument and the protective city barrier.
After returning, the Divine Workshop rebuilt the wine workshop and produced this Drunken Immortal.
There are rumors that the Star Seizing Tower once tried to obtain the brewing method for Drunken Immortal but failed.
They sought cooperation several times, only to be rejected by that old man, Yuan Zhai. The reason for the rejection is quite intriguing.
Liu Yuan tapped the stone table lightly, implying meaningfully, The old guy said that their Divine Workshop was just making wine for others.
Being a shrewd person who had lived for most of his life, connecting some clues, Liu Yuan found the truth.
Qin Feng honestly replied, You guessed it right, I was the one who made Divine Workshop brew the Drunken Immortal.
Old Master Liu laughed heartily, The letter sent by Ningshuang mentioned several times that you are a business genius. I was initially skeptical, especially considering your father.
The tone paused, and the old mans words took a turn, It seems you are not like your father; indeed, you have a sharp business mind. Successful businessmen are often cunning and smooth in their dealings. Im pleased that you possess such abilities.
Qin Fengs expression stiffened. Was the old man praising him or mocking him?
No need for such expressions; Im speaking from the heart. This time after returning to Imperial City, you will enter the Grand Literature Academy. Many court officials come from the Grand Literature Academy.
Keep in mind that the current Chief Minister of Personnel, the highest-ranking civil official, is also the dean of the Grand Literature Academy!
You will also become an official in the future. Officials must be upright, but in this court, if you dont have some wit and tactics, youll be suppressed by others and become insignificant. Only by being more cunning than those scoundrels can you stand firm in the court. Do you understand?
Qin Feng nodded, understanding that the old man was advising him.
Cheap Master also mentioned similar things to him before.
A pedantic person who joins the court as an official will not be able to defeat the treacherous ministers of the court. An upright person will only be stretched thin when leading troops in war.
Thats how the world works.
Seeing Qin Feng grasping the meaning, Liu Yuan mentioned the matter of Shuliang City: Ive heard about the danger that night. You set up a formation to isolate the Death Qi and used thunderous righteousness to wipe out thousands of corpses in the city.
Thousands of corpses? That many?
Qin Feng was surprised; at that time, he was only focused on setting up the formation to save Shuliang City and didnt pay attention to the numbers.
Now, hearing about the battle from others, he felt quite impressive!
The rumors and the actual situation are somewhat biased. In reality, that night, there were probably tens of thousands of corpses in the city. Qin Feng fabricated shamelessly.
Anyway, he was the only one involved here, and a little bragging wouldnt hurt.
But who are Liu Yuan and Liu Tianluo? These little tricks cant escape their notice.
Your skill at exaggeration is indeed suitable for being an official.
Well
After Qin Feng left, Liu Tianlu asked, There are many factions in the Grand Literature Academy. Why didnt Father explain it to him in advance?
I originally called him here for this purpose, but after seeing this kid, I dont want to plan his future anymore. With his abilities, he can completely forge his own path, right?
Liu Tianlu nodded; the old man had high expectations for that kid.
Turning his head to the three jars of Drunken Immortal, Liu Tianlu said, Ill take these three jars of Drunken Immortal.
Before the words fell, Liu Yuan waved his sleeve, and the three jars of Drunken Immortal disappeared.
What do you want to say?
Liu Tianlu fell silent for a moment, clasped his fists, and took his leave.
After having a meal at the Liu residence, Qin Feng could finally escape the probing questions of his mother-in-law.
At the gates of the Liu residence, the old housekeeper Granny Li bid farewell.
She took out a prescription from her bosom and handed it to Qin Feng with a serious expression.
Young Master, having a weak constitution is not something to be ashamed of.
Scholars cant compare to warriors in physical strength, so its essential to focus on health. This is a prescription passed down in my family. As long as you take it on time, the effects will be immediate. You might as well give it a try.
Without waiting for Qin Feng to respond, Granny Li left the prescription and departed.
Qin Feng looked at the prescription in his hand, once again feeling the deep malice towards scholars in this era.
