Chapter 24 Market Expansion, Understand?

After the host and guests are seated one after another, the dinner officially begins.

Under the light of the soft candlelight, several black maids in maid outfits came out of the kitchen next to the restaurant in a line, holding plates in their hands.

The first dish that came up was a smoked salmon with a strong flavor.

After the appetizer, it was a creamy corn soup.

Then, there are the side dishes...

However, after eating the side dishes, the main course was not served immediately, but stopped.

Perhaps this is the tradition of the Braithwaite family, leaving room for conversation, and Rorschach does not understand the hobbies of these plantation families.

Anyway, I just came here to eat...

However, just as he put down the knife and fork in his hand, he heard Mrs. Catherine on the main seat ask:

"Mr. Anos, where are you from?"

Meeting Madam Catherine's scrutiny, Rorschach replied with a normal expression:
"I'm from Boston, and I'm temporarily living in Valentine. And, madam, just call me Rorschach."

"Oh, Valentine... Then I venture to ask, why did you meet John today?"

"I was planning to go to Saint-Denis for some errands, but I ran into John on the way. So..."

After a pause, Rorschach couldn't help but shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm here."

Before Madam Catherine continued to ask, John, who was sitting by the side, raised his mustache and said happily:
"Mother, you will definitely not believe that Mr. Rorschach is the most powerful sharpshooter I have ever seen in my life!"

"Those robbers are like helpless rag dolls in front of him!"

At this moment, sitting on the left hand side of Mrs. Catherine, the young master of the Braithwaite family stroked the beard on his chin, "I thought the name Rorschach was very familiar just now, I seem to have heard it somewhere..."

John helped his brother recall: "Marcus, have you forgotten? We just talked about that thing about Brennan the other day..."

"Brennan...Rorschach..."

While muttering, Marcus suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring closely at Rorschach's calm face, and blurted out: "You are the ghost of Brennan?!"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Luo Xia's mouth twitched slightly.

It's another nickname full of secondary school sense!

If he knew who gave him this nickname, Rorschach would definitely beat that guy up...

Compared to Rorschach who felt very ashamed, the people in the west felt very cool.

What "hangman", "good night", "two-gun boy" and so on, many bounty hunters will also be proud of their nicknames.

Because, the bounty hunter industry also pays attention to reputation.

The bigger the name, the stronger the strength, the higher the trust of the employer, and the more opportunities to receive high-priced commissions or rewards.

Marcus, who wasn't too interested in Rorschach at first, suddenly became interested, and asked repeatedly: "They all said that you are the spokesperson of Death, and you can walk in the dark without being discovered by anyone..."

"It's just a rumor. I'm just an ordinary bounty hunter." Rorschach shook his head and explained casually.

For Rorschach's indifference, Marcus felt that he was just being modest.

Hearing this, Penelope, who had been bowing her head to cook and listened silently, couldn't help but raised her brows, and there were waves of waves in her heart.

You guessed right, he really is a bounty hunter!
However, judging by the expressions of his cousins, he seems to be quite famous...

When she looked up at the black-haired young man opposite, Rorschach, who was holding a wine glass, seemed to sense something, and just turned to meet those curious blue eyes.

The eyes met, and Rorschach didn't dodge at all, but just held the wine glass and greeted Penelope.

Seeing this, Penelope was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the goblet casually.

However, when she raised the glass, she realized that her glass was empty!

Seeing the rich lady quickly put down the cup, showing a flustered and funny look, Luo Xia couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

He had already seen that Penelope's wine glass was empty, and deliberately teased the rich lady...

Just as someone was indulging in his own little prank, the kitchen door swung open, and a strong smell of meat spread throughout the restaurant.

In the next second, several black maids put plates of fried steaks that were steaming lightly in front of everyone.

"This is the beef we raised ourselves, try it..."

"It looks really good."

While lowering his head and cutting the steak into pieces with a knife and fork, Rorschach said seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, madam, I'm a little curious. Are you in the wine making business?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mrs. Catherine's two sons, John and Marcus, all turned solemn.

You know, in the United States in this era, it is illegal to make wine privately.

The first reaction of the two of them was that this man was going to use this matter to blackmail them?Or plan to report them?
Marcus tilted his shoulders and quietly reached for the holster on his waist.

However, the wily and calculating Lady Catherine didn't think so.

As long as you ask around in Rhodes, you can know that the Braithwaite family is secretly doing the moonshine business.

It's no secret.

Besides, if Rorschach really planned to report, he wouldn't be so stupid as to say it on this occasion.

Does he think his life is not long enough?

After figuring out the relationship, Madam Catherine winked at Marcus first, telling him not to be impulsive.

Then he nodded very calmly, "Yes. What's the matter?"

Although they have already noticed the changes in the expressions of the three of them, as well as Marcus' small movements.

However, Luo Xia pretended not to see it, picked up the wine glass, and looked at the mellow red wine in the glass:
"John asked me to taste your wine. I have to say that your wine is much better than the wine sold in the tavern. Whether it is taste or strength..."

"We use all high-quality grains, which will never be mixed with water."

Picking up a small piece of steak, put it in his mouth, and after chewing a couple of mouthfuls, Rorschach picked up his wine glass and took a sip of the red wine.

In the next second, the red wine and the steak collided in the mouth. The tannins in the red wine gave the steak a more pleasant taste and at the same time removed the greasy taste of the meat.

Squinting his eyes, enjoying the perfect combination of food and wine, Rorschach did not forget to continue:
"But why is such a good quality wine not sold in Valentine?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Catherine made eye contact with her two sons, and then Marcus answered:

"Our wine is only supplied to Saint-Denis for the time being."

"Oh, that's how it is..."

Pretending to have suddenly realized, Luo Xia immediately raised his hand and touched his chin, before speaking again: "Madam, do you intend to expand the market?"

As soon as these words came out, Madam Catherine, who had been speculating on Rorschach's inner thoughts, frowned suddenly.

"Expand the market?" John on the side was the first to ask everyone's doubts.

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, looking at the swaying purple, Luo Xia narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Yes, sell your wine to more places, such as Valentine!"

"I think that such a good wine should be tasted by more people, what do you think?"

Looking at Rorschach's confident face, Madam Catherine finally understood Rorschach's intentions.

This kid fell in love with his own moonshine!

　Tickets, understand?
