Zhuo Jiu quickly found the place where the landlady said the wine was hidden.

In the corner of the kitchen, there is a small secret door, which opens into the so-called wine cellar.

Entering the wine cellar, what immediately jumps into sight are two rows of eye-catching red wine cabinets, which are densely packed with various types of red wine. At first glance, most of them are the kind that even Zhuo Jiu cannot name.

.

The only bottles he recognized were all top-notch red wines... When he was still working in a five-star hotel, these wines were basically only used when entertaining distinguished guests.

As for why Zhuo Jiu knew?

Because there are only very few occasions where he needs to come forward in person to introduce the dishes to the guests... and the reception wine used at those banquets is the bottles he sees now...

As for liquor, it is stored more secretly.

At the end of the wine cellar, there is a small door, and behind that small door is an even cooler room.

As soon as he stepped in, Zhuo Jiu felt the fragrance of exploding earth coming from the pavement. Looking around, he saw that many bottles and jars were neatly stored here. Most of them were placed in mud jars of various shapes, so

, Zhuo Jiu couldn't even name them... As for the common ones on the market, there are quite a few Maotai stored on the shelf nearby, including the ones that are extremely rare just by looking at the outer packaging.

Zhuo Jiu instantly felt that his outlook on life was beginning to collapse: Who is this landlady? The wine stored in this wine cellar alone may be worth most people's entire net worth.

He didn't think the landlady was an alcoholic... but what he saw before him, even if Zhuo Jiu didn't understand it very well, he knew that it must have been done by someone who knew how to drink.

"Maybe... there is another possibility." Zhuo Jiu frowned.

The value of this wine cellar is far higher than he imagined, even to a terrifying level. So much so that these wines may be just like the spices in the kitchen, just a bonus... She is purely just for the wine.

To ensure the integrity of the cellar, you just have to stuff all kinds of wine into it without thinking, and it must be good wine.

——Sometimes, the taste of rich people is really hard to describe.

Although he really couldn't choose, Zhuo Jiu finally picked up two bottles of Moutai casually and was about to leave... These were the only two bottles of wine that he could judge the value of.

The price is also quite high.

As for the other ones, let alone their flashy appearance, the kind of aura they exuded that kept strangers away was enough to make Zhuo Jiu retreat three points.

But this also made Zhuo Jiu more curious about the landlady.

Everything he saw today seemed to challenge his cognition, and what the landlady said yesterday... Zhuo Jiu was not a person without self-awareness, but he really couldn't figure out what advantages he had.

Can be favored by the landlady.

Although he may have expectations at a certain moment, it does not mean that he is not awake.

"So...what does she mean?" Looking at everything in front of him, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The long corridor has no end at a glance. The dim lights flicker, making this dark wine cellar extremely messy and casting a mysterious veil on everything in front of you.

"But what is at the end of this wine cellar?"

Such an idea came to his mind for no reason. Looking at the darkness in the distance, he couldn't help but hesitate... He always felt that something was calling him at the end.

He was a little afraid to move forward.

After all, the landlady just asked him to come over and get the wine... If he saw something he shouldn't have seen and was caught by chance, Zhuo Jiu wouldn't be able to defend himself even if he had a hundred mouths.

"How about walking further? Anyway, we are in the wine cellar. Even if I am really asked... I will just pretend that I am still getting wine."

"that is it!"

After thinking everything through, he cautiously began to move forward.

This wine cellar was far larger than he imagined. As he gradually went deeper, the wine barrels buried on both sides turned into larger and larger wine barrels and even wine tanks. Although it was well sealed,

But you can still smell the faint fragrance of wine in the air... That distant fragrance obviously cannot be ordinary liquor.

Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but feel more and more grand... The value of this wine cellar might be far more terrifying than he expected!

After groping along the way, he finally came to the end of the wine cellar.

The lights began to get darker and darker, and it was almost impossible to see everything around him. All he could see were huge wine tanks, buried tightly on both sides.

Zhuo Jiu's face showed a hint of relief, "Maybe I'm overthinking it!"

He didn't know what he was expecting, he just followed his heart and walked all the way here.

"wrong!"

In the dark, it seems that you can feel the breeze blowing.

Following the direction of the wind, there seemed to be something like a handle on the wall at the end of the corridor. However, it was too dark in the corridor, and the color of the handle was almost consistent with the surrounding environment, so for a moment he was also

not found.

He began to hesitate again... Although he felt that this seemed a bit bad, he really couldn't suppress the trend in his heart, especially the overwhelming curiosity.

"There should be a wine cellar in here. Since the landlady asked me to come over to pick up the wine, it shouldn't be a problem even if I open this door, right?"

"What's more, if there are really precious things stored in this room, it should be locked! If it's not locked, it should... be fine by default, right?"

Reluctantly finding a reasonable reason for herself, Zhuo Jiu trembled and slowly reached out to the door handle...

With a "creak", the door opened.

The sharp sound suddenly began to echo in the dark wine cellar, which made people feel a little creepy.

Zhuo Jiu turned around cautiously, but there was still darkness behind him, and no one was coming.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and cautiously stepped into the room.

This is not a very big room. It is estimated to be only a dozen square meters at most. And such a small room is still in such a secret corner. It seems a little out of place with the big house of the landlady.

.

However, when Zhuo Jiu entered this room, he felt an inexplicable warmth.

The orange light shines, making everything look so warm. The room is filled with exquisite items, and the shelves are full of various items.

——In reality, Zhuo Jiu has seen such a room before.

I remember that when he was still working as a cook, he would occasionally lead his team to take on some private work outside. A boss he was close to at that time once invited Zhuo Jiu to cook a family banquet for guests in his villa. Therefore, Zhuo Jiu

Jiuye took a tour of that man's mansion as a matter of course.

I remember that there was such a room in that person's home at that time, and it was also filled with various cabinets.

And those cabinets are filled with all kinds of jewelry and luxury goods... They are not necessarily for use, but more likely for showing off or socializing.

Therefore, these rooms basically occupy a relatively good position in the house, and the landlady's room...

Zhuo Jiu's doubts became more intense, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and walked in step by step.

Countless spotlights were planned on the dome, which silently illuminated each item on the shelf, making those items extremely bright. But when Zhuo Jiu could see those things clearly, his expression suddenly froze.

There...because those precious and important things stored in this secret room are really ordinary items that can be seen everywhere in life.

Brooches that looked very cheap at first glance, as well as some certificates and trophies, and even some very old clothes...

Everything was completely different from what he originally thought.

Zhuo Jiu let out a long breath, feeling faintly distressed.

In his understanding, it seems that only money, luxury goods and the like can be called precious things, worthy of his care and collection; and for the landlady, since money is just a number, then she

What I cherish...perhaps are the indelible memories in front of me.

Zhuo Jiu seemed to be able to see her whole life.

The girl who was so excited for a trivial thing was so careful that she kept her past in this corner where no one could touch it.

It was as if Zhuo Jiu had met her for the first time.

How lonely must a person be to hide all his memories in this deserted corner?

Zhuo Jiu's hand gently brushed one of the photo albums... There was no dust, everything was so clean.

——Obviously, she must take care of this place often, and she will never leave it to others.

Compared with the full shelves on both sides, the shelf facing the door is a bit empty.

This couldn't help but make Zhuo Jiu even more curious.

Out of curiosity, he cautiously walked forward and found that there were only three things on the shelf.

One is a bracelet that is worth a lot at first glance... He is a string player, so he can roughly judge the value of this item.

Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but become a little interested.

Because this was the first expensive-looking thing he saw in this room. However, when he looked carefully, he found that the bracelet seemed to have signs of damage, and it was completely broken into two pieces.

, just because the appearance was good enough and the room was dark, he didn't notice it much for a while.

However, Zhuo Jiu was a little stunned...because he always felt that this bracelet seemed a bit familiar.

Next to the bracelet is a handbag. At first glance, it looks like a common commodity in the market. However, upon closer inspection, Zhuo Jiu is surprised to find that this handbag really seems to be a commodity. Not only the stitching is extremely messy, but also the even...

The threads have already popped out.

What's more, there is no famous brand logo on this bag... I just don't know why this bag is placed here?

Similarly, Zhuo Jiu seemed to be somewhat impressed by this bag.

Next to the bag is a photo frame covered there. The frame of the photo frame is already covered with traces of friction, and even many places have been rubbed and shiny...

Zhuo Jiu hesitated.

He vaguely felt that he could understand everything through this photo frame, but when the critical moment came...he was timid again.

To be honest, what he is doing now has gone too far... His reason also tells him that he cannot continue.
Chapter completed!
