Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1485 A mysterious woman comes to buy wine

With Chu Chen's warm greeting, the two went straight up to the second floor.

Seeing that their master had received the silver, the other guards tacitly agreed to work even harder.

They knew all too well that if the adults in their family had meat to eat, they would all get soup to drink.

As night fell, Zhou Tianqiang arranged for two of his brothers to keep watch, while he himself left with the rest of his brothers, each carrying a bottle of mid-grade Immortal's Intoxication.

After everyone had left, Chu Chen finally took a look at the boxes of silver in front of him.

"Fat Tiger, Niu Zi, close the door!"

Niu Zi's wife was on the first floor directing the servants they had bought that day to clean, while Chu Chen called both of them into the room.

When the two men saw so much silver in front of them, they couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "Brother Chen, did you earn this in one day?"

"Don't make a fuss, this is nothing. Take some of this money, and keep the rest to build up the factory and continue to expand and strengthen the business."

Neither of them moved after hearing Chu Chen's words.

Fat Tiger looked at Chu Chen as if he were an idiot: "Are we brothers?"

"No, you've all worked hard too. Even though we're brothers, we still need to follow the rules from now on."

"The money will be distributed according to contribution. This time, time is tight, so I'll take it myself first."

Niu Zi nodded in agreement after listening.

"Fat Tiger, all of this is thanks to Brother Chen leading us, so let's listen to Brother Chen. He has his plans. We're brothers, and we certainly don't want money to ruin our relationship."

After listening, Chu Chen looked at Niu Zi with some doubt. It was indeed surprising that this kid could say such a thing.

Fat Tiger remained silent, but still did not go to grab the silver.

Seeing that Pang Hu wasn't making a move, Niu Zi felt too embarrassed to do so either.

Helpless, Chu Chen could only reach out and grab a handful from each of them, stuffing them into their arms.

"Keep these safe. Once we've settled down, I'll give you a set of rules regarding how much money you'll receive."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

"We're brothers, no need to be so polite."

The next day, the distillery was still busy, and Chu Chen sent Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi out to try and see if selling wine was profitable.

The sales figures of the past few days caught him somewhat off guard.

Therefore, he plans to expand the scale and strive to make Shenxianzui a world-renowned brand.

There's always something new to be created with wine in this world, and there's no worry about others copying it.

To his surprise, the best-selling items were actually the mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade Divine Intoxication.

It seems there are many rich people in this world.

Compared to ordinary people who might never see a whole ten taels of silver all year round, it seems that for the wealthy, waving their hands around hundreds or thousands of taels is child's play.

Chu Chen sat on the second floor, a cup of tea in front of him, quietly watching the bustling crowd buying wine below.

Thinking that if things continued like this, all the stock he had made would be sold out in less than five days, he had to hurry up and stock up.

Just as he was pondering when to reintroduce white sugar, two figures suddenly came into his line of sight.

A pale-faced, effeminate man with no beard was seen leading a very beautiful woman to the front of the wine shop.

Chu Chen recognized him at a glance; the effeminate-looking man was the one he had stopped the carriage outside the city to buy clothes that day.

The woman appeared to be in her thirties, but she was fair-skinned and beautiful, with an air of nobility mixed with a hint of dignified authority.

This was the first time Chu Chen had seen the woman, because she was inside the carriage at the time and hadn't come out.

It seems that the person I met that day was probably someone of great importance.

Based on Chu Chen's many years of experience living in ancient society, that effeminate man was clearly a disabled person.

Moreover, his gait was not like that of an older middle-aged man; his steps seemed even lighter and more steady than those of a young person, indicating that he must be a martial arts master.

A skilled eunuch accompanied by a woman raises questions about the woman's identity.

Could it be that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was a woman?

At the very least, this woman must be an empress or princess; otherwise, how could she have such a skilled fighter by her side?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen immediately went downstairs.

“Miss, these past few days, this ‘Immortal’s Intoxication’ has become incredibly famous. This old servant will go and buy some for you to try.”

The woman nodded slightly, looking around with great curiosity at the incredibly successful wine shop.

Suddenly, a young man walked over.

"Welcome to Divine Intoxication, young lady."

Sure enough, at Chu Chen's call, the effeminate man who had gone to buy wine immediately returned to the woman's side.

It was as if his young lady was someone to be avoided by strangers.

Watching the effeminate man's actions, Chu Chen became increasingly certain that this woman must be someone from the imperial palace.

If you befriend a powerful figure, your life will rise rapidly.

Although I don't want to be an official, I have someone protecting me, which makes me feel more comfortable than if I were an official.

"girl?"

Dong Shilan was secretly delighted after hearing this. Could this silly young man not tell that she was over thirty years old?

Also, this silly boy looks somewhat familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before.

So Dong Shilan pushed aside the somewhat effeminate man who was getting in her way: "Are you the owner of this winery?"

Chu Chen nodded: "Miss, you are clearly from a wealthy and noble family. It is an honor for our shop to have you visit. May I ask if you may sit on the second floor and enjoy some fine wine?"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the effeminate man spoke softly beside him.

"Miss, it's getting late, we should go back."

"Uncle Feng, aren't you curious about the owner who can brew such fine wine? Come on, let's go and broaden our horizons."

Looking at the handsome young man in front of her, Dong Shilan found herself, for some inexplicable reason, unwilling to refuse his invitation.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of this silly boy in front of him, he doesn't seem to recognize him.

So, behind him, there's either nothing at all, or something very well hidden.

However, with Lu Feng around, she had no worries. No one from the Song Kingdom had ever been able to harm her while he was by Lu Feng's side.

After hearing Dong Shilan's words, Lu Feng was at a loss for what to do, so he could only follow behind her, watching everything around him warily.

Seeing that the woman in front of him agreed, Chu Chen immediately led the two of them up to the second floor.

Upstairs on the second floor, there was a tea table with warm tea bubbling away as it was being boiled.

A bottle of the finest Divine Intoxication wine sat quietly on top, while several cups were boiling in hot water.

"Please sit down, young lady."

Chu Chen gestured for the two to sit down, then used bamboo tongs to take two cups out of the boiling water and poured them two cups of wine: "Please give me your guidance."

Dong Shilan didn't drink the wine, but looked at the boiling water in the cup: "Young master is quite particular. Why is this cup kept warm in boiling water?"
