Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 40 Question
Wang Xi really misunderstood his father. Wang Shouyi, Li Qiao and the others came here not to taste the fine wine, but for social obligations.

This wine was indeed brewed using the ingenious method of the anonymous gentleman. They were worried that if they met again and the topic of this wine came up, it would be incredibly awkward if none of them had tasted it.

It is clear that throughout history, education has never been about respecting teachers and valuing morality, but rather about understanding human relationships and social customs.

When they arrived at Yi Xian Jue, they found it was already packed. There were even eight people sitting at a four-person table. Upon further inquiry, they learned that they had to wait in line and have their numbers called.

This is a bit awkward.

Wang Maozhong had never been treated like this before, especially since this was the West Market. He looked around and suddenly locked onto a table. Then he changed his tune to the bartender next to him and said, "We're here to find someone."

As he spoke, he went straight to a table. There, he saw six or seven young people sitting.

He put his hand on a young man's shoulder, and the young man turned around and immediately stood up, saying, "Uncle Wang."

The others also realized what was happening and stood up to greet Uncle Wang, saying, "This nephew greets Uncle Wang."

Wang Maozhong said kindly, "You are still young, don't drink so much."

"Yes. I will keep Uncle Wang's teachings in mind."

The young men who were just yelling and shouting were now as docile as sparrows.

At this moment, Wang Shouyi walked over and asked in a pretentious manner, "Have you found a seat yet?"

Wang Maozhong looked around and said, "Not yet."

The young men hurriedly said, "Uncle Wang, we...we've just finished eating. Please sit down, please sit down."

These old bastards shamelessly sat down, and of course, the bill for this table was also on their tab. The big eats the small, that's the rule of the underworld.

Bai Siyong, who had been keeping an eye on things at the counter, noticed the extraordinary demeanor of these people and quickly went up to greet them personally, while also instructing the bartender to tidy up the place.

Taking advantage of the moment, Wang Shouyi asked, "Shopkeeper, is your shop's wine called Hero Wine?"

"Yes."

Bai Siyong nodded.

Li Qiao asked, "What secrets are hidden in this wine?"

Bai Siyong said, "This wine is strong and ordinary people cannot drink it. Only those heroes with extraordinary demeanor, bold character, and fearlessness can drink this wine freely, just like the three distinguished guests."

"You're quite the smooth talker, shopkeeper," Wang Shouyi laughed.

By this time, the table had been cleared, and the three of them sat down. They had come to support the event, so they asked Bai Siyong to serve them a little something, but the wine had to be served quickly.

"Are they all young men?"

After Li Qiao sat down, he looked around and said, "It seems I haven't seen Que'er and the others."

Wang Maozhong said casually, "Those children are much more sensible now, all thanks to Mr. Wuming's excellent education."

Wang Shouyi suddenly sniffed, "Can you smell the aroma of wine?"

Wang Maozhong chuckled and said, "I could smell it as soon as I came in. The wine brewed by Mr. Wuming will definitely not disappoint."

"That is, that is."

A little while later, the Hero's Wine was served.

Wang Shouyi and the others couldn't wait to pour themselves a cup and drink it all in one gulp.

After drinking the wine, all three of them were holding their breath.

After a while, Wang Maozhong slammed his fist on the table. Before he could even speak, a man at the next table exclaimed, "This is truly fine wine! Hero wine! Hero wine! It truly lives up to its name!"

Wang Maozhong glanced at the man with annoyance. "You dare steal my lines?" he thought. Turning back, he saw Wang Shouyi and Li Qiao looking at him, and the three of them chuckled in unison.

Wang Shouyi said, "When Xiao Que and I were brewing wine, I didn't think it would be successful. I never expected that they would actually succeed."

Li Qiao said, "This is all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching!"

Just then, two people walked over. "Your Highness, my two elder brothers."

"So it's Hezheng, Ziming. Please sit down, please sit down."

This was originally just a polite remark from Wang Shouyi, but unexpectedly the two men immediately sat down.

One of them laughed and said, "I heard that your son's grades have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and he has even shown off his skills in front of His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouyi, Li Qiao, and Wang Maozhong were filled with helplessness.

They didn't want these people to bother Mr. Wuming, but they had no choice; recently, more and more people had been coming to them to inquire about him.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard. The group turned their heads to look and saw that a waiter had accidentally bumped into a young man dressed in silk while clearing away the plates.

The bartender's legs went weak with fright, and he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" But the young man didn't care at all, waved his hand, and said, "It's alright, it's alright." He then squeezed forward, returned to his seat, and continued drinking with his companions.

Bai Siyong, who was about to step forward, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he also found it funny to himself. In the past, a single dog-headed vulture had almost made his small shop go out of business, but now the house was full of playboys, yet they were able to live happily together.

I faintly heard a voice from behind, "Father!"

Bai Siyong turned around and saw her daughter hiding behind the curtain at the back door, with only half of her face showing. She hurriedly went over and said, "What are you doing out here? The guests are all waiting for the food!"

Bai Ningsu said aggrievedly, "There's no more food."

"what?"

Bai Siyong was taken aback and glanced out the window again. "But it's only noon!"

Not long after noon, Yi Xian Jue closed the door amidst the envious glances of his colleagues.

Bai Ningsu, who had been busy in the kitchen for most of the day, was now sitting at the table, her small hand supporting her chin, as if she was thinking about something.

"Su'er, you must be exhausted."

"Daddy."

Bai Ningsu turned her head to look and gently shook her head. "I'm not tired. I was just thinking about Father. Perhaps this really was the idea that you came up with."

Bai Siyong nodded gently.

Neither the father nor the daughter was stupid; now they understood what had happened.

Bai Ningsu asked, "Father, it seems that when doing business, you still have to use some tricks; you can't be too honest."

Bai Siyong's face darkened, and he said seriously, "You must not think that way. The gentleman's arrangement is not to take shortcuts or deceive the guests, but because he knows that this wine will definitely be loved by people, but few people know about it. Therefore, he came up with this strategy to attract guests first. However, whether it can continue depends on the wine and food."

Su'er, you must always remember to treat others with sincerity in everything you do. Opportunism and trickery may bring temporary gains, but for long-term success, you must build your reputation on integrity.

Bai Ningsu said, "My daughter just wants to raise that million as soon as possible."

Bai Siyong sighed, "Father also wants that."

The most brilliant thing about Today's Freshness is that it closes early, because it immediately triggers scarcity marketing, leading to even more people coming to ask for wine the next day.

To be honest, the current Hero Liquor is just a very ordinary distilled spirit. The taste is only somewhat unique, but it is not particularly delicious. However, because it is sold in limited quantities, those who have tasted it will definitely boast about it. "If you haven't drunk Hero Liquor in your life, you can't call yourself a hero."

Through word of mouth, customers developed a preconceived notion that this wine was delicious and that heroes deserve strong liquor.

Bai Siyong also strictly followed Wang Xi's instructions and sold a limited quantity each day.

That being said, the production volume is only so much.

This was only because Jiang Cheng and his group came to help.

The sudden appearance of this hero's wine inevitably makes people curious: who brewed it?

Fortunately, it wasn't a secret and the news spread quickly.

The discussion then turned to the deeds of the nameless man.

Soon, the Nameless Academy also became famous thanks to Hero Wine.

However, Tao Mo was not genuinely happy about this, because people kept coming to inquire about the enrollment information.

Although it's an entrance exam, we need to be given a date; it can't keep dragging on like this.

Wang Xi and his colleagues could only inform them that a notice would be issued soon.

"It seems we can't delay any longer. Before, they were just noble children, but now even some wealthy merchants and landlords are inquiring about them," Huangfu Sengnian said worriedly.

Li Jie said, "Actually, it's more lively with more people, and it's more fun for us, but I'm afraid of being discovered, which could put our lives in danger."

Wang Xi said, "We can filter out most people through entrance exams and select the people we want, thus ensuring safety."

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "Have you thought about how you plan to take the exam?"

Wang Xi nodded.

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "What will the exam be about?"

Wang Xi said, "Cheating."

Huangfu Sengnian asked, "What are you being tested on?"

"It's cheating."

"???"
