Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Dad, I sold it for two hundred thousand dollars."

"Stop talking nonsense."

"I mean seriously, I actually sold it for two hundred thousand dollars."

Bant's mouth was open, his face full of astonishment.

"Dad, use your mobile phone to search Marla Supermarket for unknown red wine."

Bant took his mobile phone and started searching for relevant information, and sure enough, a lot of information and news popped up.

Mara Supermarket put on the shelves five days ago forty bottles of red wine, which was specially approved for sale by the Sacramento city government. They were sold out as soon as they were put on the market.

Today, there are still a small amount circulating on the black market, and the highest bid is close to 300,000 US dollars...

"Ken, is this unknown red wine the wine Chen gave us?"

"That's right."

Bant's mind is already in a mess. A bottle of wine in Mara Supermarket sells for 60,000 US dollars. On the black market, the price is generally over 200,000 US dollars, and the highest price is close to 300,000 US dollars.

Chen Zhao gave himself five bottles of wine, and after adding the ones he had already drank and the bottle he was willing to take away, there were still two bottles left.

Bant didn't know what to say at this moment.

He also didn't expect that Chen Zhao would give him such a valuable thing as a gift.

Of course, he is also confused now whether to sell it or drink it.

It is rude to sell other people's gifts.

But drinking it would be too luxurious.

Bant couldn't drink it anyway.

Bent dialed Chen Zhao's phone: "Hey, Chen, is that wine sold in Mara Supermarket made by you?"

"Uh...yeah, you know?"

"Ken just took a bottle of wine, but his boss spent two hundred thousand dollars to buy it." Bant smiled bitterly: "Now that I know the news, I really don't know what to do."

"Since it's given to you, you have the right to make your own choice, but I suggest you don't be so anxious to sell it. As long as it is stored properly, the longer the wine is kept, the better it tastes. You can sell it when you need money in the future. "Chen Zhao said.

"Yes, I understand." Bant was very grateful to Chen Zhao.

"But talk to Ken and don't let this news out."

"Okay, I know, I'll talk to Ken."

…

"Chen, do you think we should expand the vineyard?"

"Don't expand. What we sell is high-quality wine. The higher the quantity, the lower the price, and the income is not as good as it is now." Chen Zhao said: "Look at those wineries, they are all so large, but they only make a limited amount of wine every year." quantity."

Fali has been extremely happy these past few days. After all, this is the first time she has experienced the joy of making money.

Forty bottles of red wine were put on the shelves and sold out on the same day.

Two million four hundred thousand dollars, and the city of Sacramento also gave a preferential tax rate.

This is also the result of Whinip's negotiations. Now Whinip's attitude towards the Sacramento city government is in a period of strength.

Nowadays, Sacramento has been completely transformed into a tourist city, and all this was brought about by daydreams.

As long as Daydream is still in Whinip's hands, Sacramento will be dominated by Whinip.

This is not just talk. The value of daydreaming is no longer limited to its own value.

The indirect economy of daydreaming has exceeded its own value.

While Chen Zhao and Fali were cozying up on the recliner, little Gelin stood up unsteadily.

Chen Zhao and Fali were both stunned for a moment: "Can little Ge Lin stand up?"

But soon, little Gelin's short legs bent and she lay on the ground again.

Although they only stood up briefly, Chen Zhao and Fali were very happy.

"Chen, why is the older the wine, the better?"

Chen Zhao thought for a moment: "Actually, this is a misunderstanding. The longer is not the better. In fact, the best storage time for most red wines is three to eight months. There are only a few wines that require longer storage due to different grapes. The fermentation period is like our little Gelin needs about twenty years of growth and wrinkles before she can grow into an adult, but like Simba and Nana, they only need a few years to grow up."

"As for the red wines of some wineries, the grapevines they use have been cultivated for several generations or even dozens of generations. Their grapevines are the most valuable property of the winery and are generally prohibited from being exported."

"You can associate the fermentation of red wine with the growth cycle of little Gelin. What else can you associate with it?"

"There are too many things to compare with." Chen Zhao said casually: "For example..."

Chen Zhao's heart suddenly thought of a question.

Lao Turtle once said that Chen Zhao's magic level is now at the bottleneck of Huaji.

Chen Zhao has always been vague about this concept.

But now Chen Zhao suddenly thought of the fermentation process of wine.

Is fermentation similar to wine fermentation?

If this idea is true, then you should consider how to 'brew' magic power.

The process of polarization is the fermentation process of magic power.

"Chen, what are you thinking about?"

"I was wondering what to eat tonight."

Fali rolled her eyes. They hadn't worried about this since the lemure came to the house.

Chen Zhao has been thinking about how to maximize his magic power.

Go back and ask Lao Turtle.

At night, Chen Zhao entered the river map.

Every time he entered the river map, Lao Turtle was playing games, and he was always playing games with his own avatar.

"Old turtle, is Huaji similar to the fermentation of wine making?"

"Hey, you actually figured it out?"

"It's such a simple question, why did you have to hide it before and why did I have to figure it out myself?" Chen Zhao looked at the old turtle indignantly.

"Don't they say in novels that you have to understand it yourself?"

"Is there no other reason?"

"Gone."

"Then how does the magic power in this body ferment?"

"The ultimate environment." Old Turtle said.

"How extreme?"

"It's either extremely hot or extremely cold, but in most cases, if you are in these two extreme environments, you will either burn to death or freeze to death."

"The extreme you are talking about doesn't mean setting it on fire or throwing it in an ice cellar, right?"

"Look at Sun Wukong in Journey to the West. He got his piercing eyes in Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace."

"Are you getting more and more outrageous as you talk? That's a myth and legend, and it's also a novel."

"You can also go to a second-level environment, such as going to the hottest or coldest place in the world, and staying there for three to five years will almost complete the fermentation process."

Chen Zhao's heart moved: "No, I can create an extremely hot or cold environment, right here, in the Hetu."

Since wine can ferment in Hetu, Lao Turtle can practice here for thousands of years.

Then I should be able to do it myself, right?

"And the most important thing is, are you considering extreme heat? Or extreme cold?"

"Is there a difference?"

“You make wine in the Arctic and you make wine in the Sahara, do you think it’s the same?”
