Chapter 27 Maoxiang Wine Comes Out

Qingfenglou started selling Maoxiang wine the next day. Shopkeeper Liu listened to Sheng Zhiyao's suggestion and set up a table in front of the store and asked the waiter to pour Maoxiang wine into cups.

Everyone can enjoy a small cup for free.

Many people were curious about what Qingfenglou was doing. Suddenly, a circle of people gathered at the door, but most people did not dare to come forward, let alone drink.

However, the aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. The Maoxiang wine poured by the waiter has a rich and mellow aroma, which also attracts many wine lovers.

Someone made a bold attempt. After drinking, they were all surprised and ran to the counter to buy wine: "Shopkeeper Liu, I am a regular customer of Qingfeng Restaurant. I want all the wine you have."

"How is that possible? I came first."

"Yes, did you drink that much by yourself?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, I want it too, but you can't sell it all to him."

Shopkeeper Liu's counter was surrounded by people, with voices rising and falling. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Guests, please be patient. We only have eight jars of Maoxiang wine at the moment, and each person is limited to purchasing one bottle within seven days."

"Why are there purchase restrictions?" Some customers didn't understand at first, and some of the business people thought it was too much money.

"Yes, why?"

"There is a limit of 30 taels per jar of wine. Are you afraid that we can't afford it?"

Shopkeeper Liu was not angry when he heard the guests' complaints. He just explained carefully: "Guests, please don't be angry, because the brewing technology of this wine is complicated. I believe the guests who love wine also know that good wine needs time and time."

Shopkeeper Liu's words can be said to have touched the hearts of those who love wine. It is true that good wine needs to be tasted slowly, and good wine needs time to study slowly.

"That's true, but the wine tastes really good."

"Shopkeeper Liu, give me a jar." Someone shouted.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't wait to buy it. Regardless of the price, they just took out their money and threw it on the table.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." Shopkeeper Liu looked at the money on the table and happily took out the wine while collecting the money.

Customers who had tasted the wine at the door also saw that there were so many people buying at the counter, and hurried up to fight for it, fearing that they would not be able to buy it.

In an instant, the Qingfeng Building was already crowded with guests, and there were many people standing on the street. When the dignitaries in the Juxian Building opposite saw it, they curiously sent their servants over to inquire.

Shopkeeper Liu packed all the wine and put it in wooden boxes.

This kind of packaging was also prepared by Sheng Zhiyao. She said that good wine needs good packaging, just like a good horse needs a good saddle.

"Okay, dear guests, today's wine has been sold out. Please go back." Shopkeeper Liu handed all the wine to the customers one by one.

Customers who had tried it but not bought it were reluctant to leave: "Shopkeeper Liu, is this wine really gone?"

Shopkeeper Liu shook his head: "Only the eight altars are sold."

"Is there tomorrow?"

"This..." Shopkeeper Liu's hesitation made the greedy guests extremely angry.

"Are you telling me, are you available tomorrow? If so, I will stand in front of your store before dawn and wait for you to open the door." Someone asked hurriedly.

"Yes, I'll come too," the guest said urgently, and other guests also followed suit.

"I want it too."

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the expectant expressions on the faces of the guests, and felt helpless, smiling bitterly and shaking his head: "I'm not sure about this either. To be honest, this Maoxiang liquor is not brewed by our shop, but was provided by a friend."

"Then ask your friends to bring some out. There won't be enough in the eight altars." The guests continued to shout, as if they would not leave if Shopkeeper Liu didn't agree.

"Then I'll send someone to ask, wait a minute." Shopkeeper Liu ran to the back kitchen and told the boss about the situation outside. Mr. Ding smiled from ear to ear, but he didn't know what Sheng Zhiyao would do tomorrow.

Will she come? I don’t know where this little girl lives. How can I contact her?

The two of them were frowning when the waiter ran in.

"Shopkeeper, the person who helped Miss Sheng deliver the goods last time is here."

"Oh, bring him in quickly." Mr. Ding ordered hurriedly.

Soon the waiter brought Gong Jie to the two of them: "May I ask what your name is?"

"Gong Jie."

Mr. Ding saw that his hands were empty and he didn't look like he was here to deliver goods, so he asked, "Is there anything I want you to bring here?"

"Exactly, the lady said that Maoxiang wine will be delivered in the evening. Please ask shopkeeper Liu to fill in the information of the person who bought the wine."

When shopkeeper Liu heard what Gong Jie said, he nodded repeatedly and asked the waiter to hand Gong Jie the information he had already prepared: "Excuse me, brother, take it back."

Gong Jie took the information, looked at it, and put it in his arms: "Farewell."

After Gong Jie left, Shopkeeper Liu said to Mr. Ding beside him: "It turns out that girl is not a beggar. I said that although she was dressed plainly, she didn't look like a beggar at first glance. How could she dress like a beggar?"

Clean.”

Mr. Ding also agreed: "That's true. It seems that the girl's identity is not simple. I will have to ask about it another day."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded and hurriedly ran back to the front to convey the message, and then the guests left angrily.

As soon as Gong Jie returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw Sheng Zhiyao filling the bottle with wine.

"Master, the words have been conveyed, but I'm afraid your identity will be exposed!"

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the wine on the table and smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If you expose yourself, you will be exposed. I never thought about hiding it."

Gong Jie nodded and said nothing.

"By the way, have you done what I asked you to check?" Sheng Zhiyao asked, changing the subject.

"It's all done. Juxianlou did send someone to secretly buy a bottle of Maoxiang wine, but my subordinates haven't found out who is the boss behind Juxianlou yet."

Sheng Zhiyao nodded to express his understanding. It would not be fun if it were so easy to find out: "It doesn't matter. Check it slowly. I like to challenge the difficulty."

Gong Jie felt a hint of admiration in his heart after hearing Sheng Zhiyao's words. Since his master returned to the capital, his whole person has changed. He doesn't look like a five-year-old child at all, but now looks like an adult, planning everything.

"Master, although I have been secretly observing Juxian Building these days, I also discovered that Boss Ding of Qingfeng Building is not an ordinary cook."

Sheng Zhiyao was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gong Jie was still observing Boss Ding: "What do you say?"

"Master, according to my subordinates' observation, although the business of Qingfeng Restaurant is not as good as that of Juxian Restaurant, their food is of high quality and the presentation is very particular. It is not like what ordinary restaurants would cook.

And every day, many people come here to visit." Gong Jie analyzed it carefully.

Sheng Zhiyao nodded thoughtfully. She hadn't thought of so much. She wanted to find Qingfeng Building because it was opposite Juxian Building. She just wanted to take revenge. Now when she heard what Gong Jie said, Boss Ding actually still wanted to find it.

Such craftsmanship was so surprising to her that she didn't even investigate it carefully.

"You continue to observe and report back to me as soon as you have any information. In addition, you have time to check the details of Boss Ding, see his background and experience, and the most important thing is where his craftsmanship comes from, especially us from the enemy camp.

But it’s a huge loss.”

"Yes, Master!"

Gong Jie took the order and retreated.

Sheng Zhiyao looked at the wine on the table and reflected. Although she wanted to let Juxianlou know that there are people outside the world, she did not carefully investigate the details of Qingfenglou, which was a mistake.

"Hey, I was careless anyway."
