Li Yuan followed the waiter up the stairs.

Reaching the third floor of Drunken Fragrance Abode, he looked around.

Here, all were private booths separated by partitions.

The waiter led the way, bringing Li Yuan to a compartment at the innermost part.

The waiter reached out and lifted the curtain, gesturing for him to enter.

Li Yuan didn't waste words, lifting his leg and walking inside.

This compartment was decorated in a fresh and elegant style.

Calligraphy and paintings by famous artists hung on the walls, and the display shelves held jade ornaments.

A faint floral fragrance wafted through the room.

In the center of the compartment was a very elaborate sandalwood square table.

Sitting on either side of the square table were two people.

Li Yuan was somewhat surprised to see them.

On the left-hand side was a purple-clothed woman with a seductive figure and beautiful face.

Her temperament was seven parts dignified, two parts worldly, and one part charming.

Her eyes were like rippling autumn waters, filled with endless tenderness, enough to attract any man.

On the right-hand side was a white-haired old man in green robes.

His face was kind, and he looked at Li Yuan, who had entered the compartment, with a smile.

After Li Yuan came in, the two of them just kept sizing him up.

"You have quite the audacity to use my Drunken Fragrance Abode's territory to promote your wine."

"Don't you know that Jiu Niang of Drunken Fragrance Abode is not easily fooled?"

Li Yuan looked at the enchanting woman in purple.

The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a trace of a smile, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Madam, I paid money to come to Drunken Fragrance Abode to drink."

"I don't owe the owner here a single cent."

"You had the waiter call me over."

"There's no seat, no tea is served, such a neglectful treatment of me."

"Is this how Drunken Fragrance Abode treats its guests?"

The enchanting woman was stunned.

She was even more angry in her heart, I haven't even investigated you for using my place to promote your wine.

Now you're actually pointing out my faults.

This young man is truly eloquent.

Before she could retort.

The white-bearded old man on the side had already burst into laughter.

Then he said to the enchanting woman beside him.

"Jiu Niang, ah, Jiu Niang."

"This young man is very interesting."

"What he said is reasonable, you called him over, how can you be so neglectful?"

"After all, your Drunken Fragrance Abode is also open for business."

The enchanting woman snorted in dissatisfaction.

She clapped her hands, and a waiter came in, bringing a chair for Li Yuan.

Li Yuan naturally didn't stand on ceremony.

He sat down steadily.

Another waiter brought a bowl of tea soup and placed it in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan held the tea soup, and then nodded in satisfaction.

The enchanting woman said to the old man.

"Old Qin, do you think this is okay now?"

The old man called Old Qin nodded, then looked at Li Yuan and said.

"Young man, please don't be offended."

"Jiu Niang is the owner of this Drunken Fragrance Abode, and seeing you causing chaos in the hall with your wine."

"She is naturally displeased."

"If there is any discourtesy, please forgive her."

Seeing that the old man was gentle and polite, Li Yuan naturally returned the courtesy.

"I was abrupt in my actions, please forgive me, Jiu Niang, Old Qin."

The old man waved his hand.

"Forget it, these are all small matters."

"Young man, you must have brought good wine with you."

"Could you let us two taste it?"

Just now, Old Qin and Jiu Niang were discussing business in the private room on the third floor when they suddenly heard a commotion in the hall on the first floor.

They sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that someone was deliberately showing off good wine.

Causing chaos in the restaurant.

Jiu Niang and Old Qin were well aware of Li Yuan's actions and purpose.

However, what surprised them was that Zhang Chuan, a wine connoisseur known for his pickiness.

Actually praised the wine brought by this group of people.

This made the two of them somewhat surprised and aroused some interest.

So they had the waiter call the leader of the group over.

Seeing that the old man was getting straight to the point.

Li Yuan cupped his fist and said.

"I don't know the name of the old gentleman yet."

Before the old man could answer, Jiu Niang on the side said.

"This is the head of the wine trade in Qingyuan County."

"Mr. Qin Hongbai, you can also call him Old Qin."

Li Yuan immediately got up and bowed first.

He did this for a reason.

If he wanted to sell his wine in Qingyuan County, he naturally had to smooth out relations with all parties.

This Old Qin was the head of the wine trade, which could be said to be a very crucial link.

He must not be offended.

Old Qin then nodded and said.

"Forget it, let me see your wine first."

Li Yuan didn't stand on ceremony.

He reached into his arms and took out two porcelain wine bottles.

One bottle was 【Hundred Flower Brew】, and the other was 【Qingyuan Paste】.

The Jiu Niang looked at Li Yuan and smiled playfully.

She teased him and said.

"You young man, you still say you're not using my restaurant to make a name for yourself."

"You're carrying wine with you, I've caught you red-handed."

Her words were full of charm, extremely alluring.

Li Yuan just nodded and smiled, saying nothing.

Old Qin first took the wine bottle and carefully looked at it.

Then he skillfully patted open the sealing mud.

In an instant, the small compartment was filled with the aroma of wine.

The two were stunned, and then looked at each other.

Their expressions were full of surprise.

The waiter had already placed an exquisite white porcelain bowl in front of each of them.

Old Qin directly poured out the wine and filled the porcelain bowl in front of him.

The aroma of wine in the room became even more intense.

Old Qin looked at the clear wine with bright eyes.

And Jiu Niang on the side was no longer as indifferent as before.

The two looked at each other.

Each picked up the bowl and took a careful sip.

The wine entered the throat, first a strong spiciness.

After that, the tip of the tongue had a slight fruity aftertaste.

Both of them were tasting such a unique taste for the first time.

They couldn't help but nod frequently, praising in their hearts that it was good wine.

What they tasted first was the 【Hundred Flower Brew】 with more than 30 degrees.

After that, Old Qin opened another bottle of 【Qingyuan Paste】.

The aroma of this bottle of wine was even more intense.

Old Qin carefully poured the wine into the bowl.

First he smelled it with his nose.

The aroma was strong and mellow, even better than the 【Hundred Flower Brew】 just now.

Smelling the tempting aroma of wine, Old Qin held up the bowl and gulped down a mouthful of strong liquor.

In just an instant, Old Qin felt like he had swallowed a ball of fire.

His internal organs seemed to be burning.

The alcohol surged in his body, like a galloping horse, and like waves crashing on the shore.

Old Qin rarely got drunk on weekdays.

But today, drinking Qingyuan Paste felt different.

He only felt a little tipsy, his body seemed to be stepping in the clouds.

Old Qin adjusted his breath, barely suppressed the alcohol, and then exhaled a long breath.

Compared to the turbid wine he usually drank, this bowl of Qingyuan Paste was really incomparable.

It also made Old Qin, who had been floating in the sea of wine for many years, blush.

"Not bad, really good wine."

Compared with this wine, the turbid wine he usually drinks can only be regarded as sour rice soup.

Li Yuan didn't speak, just looked at the two people in front of him with a smile.

The wine has been tasted, now it's time to talk about the price.

Old Qin and Jiu Niang first looked at each other.

Their hearts were full of shock, once Li Yuan's wine was on the market, it would definitely crush the ordinary turbid wine on the market.

As for the price, both of them were a little unsure.

At this time, Jiu Niang spoke first.

"Young man, how about I offer a hundred guan, and you sell me this wine recipe?"

Li Yuan smiled, but shook his head frequently.

He said in his heart.

Sell you the wine recipe? How is that possible, only a fool would sell it.
