164 A Small Gift
He had agreed with Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” that Bai Wutong only needed to be in charge of producing wine. There were only 30 bottles of special Phoenix Feather Wine in 2,500 kilograms of wine produced.
Sheng Huaixuan was indeed Sheng Huaixuan. His “friend” first launched a marketing gimmick, calling the world’s best wine as Phoenix Feather Wine.
When the upper-class people who liked wine heard that it had disappeared, they all asked around about what kind of wine the Phoenix Feather Wine was. This was the first time they had heard of it. How did it become the number one wine in the world?
For the sake of the wine that they loved, these people who liked wine challenged Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” to compete for the title of the best wine in the world. Only then did Sheng Huaixuan bring the exquisitely packaged Phoenix Feather Wine to the table.
!!
Everyone looked disdainful. “It’s just something fancy. This wine might not be any better than water.”
Describing a bottle of wine as bland was the ultimate insult to wine.
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” took his time to open the exquisite packaging. The wooden box was stacked layer by layer, displaying the craftsmanship of the wine as if it was an animation. Everyone fell silent, their gazes attracted by the scene in front of them.
The person who designed the packaging was quite interesting. The unique painting style and special animation effects were all so novel.
When Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” took out the glass bottle, everyone was stunned again.
It was as though bright red liquid that was wrapped in snow-like packaging was not a bottle of wine, but a peerless treasure.
This was the first time they had seen such exquisite glass.
Someone was stunned for a long time before he reacted and said angrily, “What number one wine in the world? It’s just a vase!”
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” was very calm. In front of everyone, he personally opened the bottle of special Phoenix Feather Wine.
The rich smell of fruit wine immediately hit the face, like the fragrance emitted from a peerless beauty. It made one subconsciously took in one breath after another.
Everyone couldn’t help but say, “It smells so good ~”
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” poured himself a glass of Phoenix Feather Wine in a unique tall glass. The silky wine swayed gently in the glass, but these people who liked wine could only watch.
Sheng Huaixuan took a sip and looked like he was already floating in the skies.
The bright red wine tempted everyone’s hearts. Seeing that they were really craving it and no longer seemed disdainful, Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” asked the servants to bring over dozens of expensive tall glasses. He personally poured wine for these arrogant scholars.
These people were like proud eagles. After holding them back before letting them drink the Phoenix Feather Wine, it would magnify all the strengths of the Phoenix Feather Wine a million times in their minds.
The expensive glasses were filled with bright red wine. They could not wait to bring the glasses to their mouths and were instantly stunned. This wine should have been rare in the world!
The person who doubted that a mere fruit wine was worthy of being the number one wine in the world was so emotional that he actually cried.
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” saw them staring at the wine glass in a daze and smiled. It was time to inform his master to begin the sale.
Since it was the best wine in the world, it was naturally very precious.
Everyone only had one glass before there was nothing left to drink.
Those who were addicted to the glass of wine asked where they could buy the special Phoenix Feather Wine, but Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” did not reveal any clues.
After the scholars returned home, they could not eat or drink. They wrote a few famous poems for the Phoenix Feather Wine in their hearts.
Soon, the celebrity effect took effect. More and more people asked about the Phoenix Feather Wine and wanted to buy it at a high price.
Sheng Huaixuan’s “friend” immediately released the news that there were only 30 bottles of special Phoenix Feather Wine a year and it cost 500 taels of silver.
500 taels a bottle! Even so, such expensive wine was sold out in an instant.
As there were only 30 bottles, everyone fought crazily for them. The price of the Phoenix Feather Wine reached a sky-high price of tens of thousands of taels per bottle.
Yu Suisheng immediately released the 15 bottles of special Phoenix Feather Wine that he had pretended to have sold out. In an instant, he had earned more than a million taels of silver.
As for those who did not manage to snatch the special Phoenix Feather Wine, they were dissatisfied. Yu Suisheng quickly released the noble and commoner Phoenix Feather Wine in his stock. The price corresponded to the target audience and everyone was very satisfied with it. Yu Suisheng made another huge profit and excitedly ran to inform Sheng Huaixuan personally.
When Yu Suisheng reached Youjia village, he specially brought many items for Bai Wutong. There were high-quality silk, rare food, and all kinds of seeds that Bai Wutong liked.
His team was very large. In order to protect things, there were many tall guards and bodyguards.
When Lintian Village saw that someone was sending items to Youjia village again, they stood by the road and watched enviously.
There were so many things. If they were given any item, they probably would not have to suffer.
They followed the crowd all the way to the entrance of Youjia village.
There was already a gate set up at Youjia village. Qingfeng was the captain of the patrol team.
She asked with a dark gaze, “Who are you?”
Yu Suisheng immediately said, “I’m a friend of Master Sheng. The Phoenix Feather Wine brewed by Madam Bai has run out of stock. I’m here to thank Madam Bai and hope that she can brew more wine.”
The moment he said that, the villagers of Lintian Village were dumbfounded.
They knew about Bai Wutong brewing wine. The fruits were provided by them at four catties per copper coin. They also watched Bai Wutong and the others being busy for a long time. The fragrance of the wine lingered for more than two months until the wine was taken away. They even joked, “We finally don’t have to work every day in a drunken state.”
At that time, someone had guessed how much the fruit wine made by Bai Wutong could be sold for.
Everyone felt that it wouldn’t be much. After all, most of the people who drank fruit wine were women. How many women in town could afford to drink wine?
They never expected that the wine made by Bai Wutong would be in such high demand. Someone even specially brought a gift to ask Bai Wutong to make wine.
They suddenly realized their huge loss.
Bai Wutong’s wine was in high demand. It was selling well, so it was definitely very profitable!
They had provided the raw materials and fruits, but they had only exchanged for around 10 to 20 copper coins. They were so regretful that their intestines turned green.
They shouldn’t have sold the fruits to Bai Wutong at such a low price.
Perhaps she had deliberately planned this.
They had completely forgotten that if Bai Wutong had not been willing to accept their fruits back then, they would not have been able to get even half a copper coin, let alone 10 or 20 copper coins.
Lin Chenghai’s eyes turned red when he saw Yu Suisheng enter Youjia Village with so many things.
He did not dare to look for Bai Wutong to ask for compensation. When he saw a skinny kitten by the side, he suddenly had an idea.
This was the first time Yu Suisheng had come to Youjia Village. He was very shocked that Youjia Village actually looked like this.
...
Sheng Huaixuan appeared with Stinky in his arms. When Yu Suisheng saw him, he subconsciously wanted to bow. Without Sheng Huaixuan’s reminder, Lin Yue had already quickly supported him.
Only then did Yu Suisheng realize that he had almost exposed himself.
If others knew that Sheng Huaixuan was the one doing business behind his back, the identity that Sheng Huaixuan had worked so hard to get rid of would be gone.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao appeared. Sheng Huaixuan hurriedly introduced, “This is my good friend, Master Yu. He specially came to buy the Phoenix Feather Wine.”
Sheng Huaixuan had mentioned Bai Wutong’s capability many times in the letter. Moreover, they were the young master’s savior, his godfather and godmother. Yu Suisheng hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully. “Greetings, Madam Bai. Master Chu, this is a small gift I’ve prepared. I hope you can accept it.”
Bai Wutong turned around and saw eight full carts. How could this be considered a small gift?
Could it be that she did not understand the true meaning of the word?
