Chapter 40: Compared to my Wine, the Others Are Garbage
Translator: OnGoingWhyEditor: Vermillion
”The Bejewelled Nectar Wine is nothing?!' The moment those words were said, the mood within the store slightly froze.
The three barbarians of Ouyang and Xiao Xiaolong were staring at Bu Fang. They were wine lovers and the Bejewelled Nectar Wine was the best wine they had ever tasted. However, when coming out of Bu Fang's mouth, it was… nothing?
”Haha! Smelly boss, the way you said it was really handsome!” Ouyang Xiaoyi happily exclaimed while clapping her hands. She liked the kind of self-confident feeling that Bu Fang had.
”Tch, he's just a country bumpkin. Has he even tasted the Bejewelled Nectar Wine? He's only speaking nonsense.” Zhao Ruge disdainfully snorted and pursed his lips. How could the owner of a little restaurant like Bu Fang know the taste of the number one wine in the Light Wind Empire that was personally picked out by the emperor from tens of thousands of wine?
Bu Fang knitted his eyebrows and looked toward Zhao Ruge. He was very familiar with this fellow, only because Zhao Ruge had tried to bribe him with money over and over again.
”Compared to my wine... the other mundane wines are garbage.”
Bu Fang simply said with bursting self-confidence. He was absolutely confident of the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine.
”Owner Bu, you have wine here?” Xiao Xiaolong's eyes lit up and a slight redness appeared on his fair face from agitation.
Bu Fang just pointed toward the menu behind him and did not say anything.
Everyone understood what he meant and turned their heads to look toward the menu...
”Sss~”
This sound was made by Zhao Ruge. It was his first time stepping into the store and his first time seeing the menu. Even though he had heard much about the astronomical prices of the dishes, he still sucked in a breath of cold air when he personally saw the prices.
Ouyang Xiaoyi and the rest immediately rolled their eyes at him. What a country bumpkin... Was there a need to act so surprised?
”Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, fifteen crystals per jar,” Xiao Xiaolong softly read out.
”As expected, Owner Bu's dishes are expensive as usual,” Xiao Yanyu let out a beautiful exclamation. Fifteen crystals per jar of wine was far more expensive than the Bejewelled Nectar Wine, which only cost five hundred gold coins.
With such a comparison between the two solely based on their prices, Bejewelled Nectar Wine was truly… nothing.
”Fifteen crystals per jar? Have you gone crazy? Are you sure your wine is worth this price?” Zhao Ruge could not believe it. Five hundred gold coins per jar for the Bejewelled Nectar Wine was already considered an astronomical price. Fifteen crystals… was practically insane!
”Owner Bu! There's no need to say anything else, I want a jar! Thankfully, my incredible foresight had already predicted that Owner Bu's wine would definitely not be cheap so I brought a lot of crystals,” Xiao Xiaolong excitedly said toward Bu Fang.
”Owner Bu, the three of us want a jar as well! If the Lees Fish is already so delicious, then this wine is surely good as well!” Ouyang Zhen carefreely said.
Zhao Ruge raised his eyebrows as he looked toward Xiao Xiaolong and the three barbarians of Ouyang in surprise. They actually bought such an expensive wine… Could it be that the wine was really that good?
Immediately, Zhao Ruge made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, ”I want a jar as well!”
”Hmph! I'd like to see for what reason a wine from such a place could actually sell for fifteen crystals!” Zhao Ruge thought.
”Excuse me, there's only three jars of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine for sale per day. If you want to order it, you'll have to come again tomorrow,” Bu Fang indifferently glanced toward Zhao Ruge and expressionlessly said.
Zhao Ruge froze for a moment and his eyes were immediately filled with anger as he thought, ”You're rejecting me again! Do you have a grudge against me?”
”Didn't you say that there are three jars per day? Since Xiao Xiaolong and the Ouyang brothers are buying two jars, isn't there one more jar left that you can sell to me? Are you looking down on me?”
Zhao Ruge was infuriated.
Facing the somewhat exasperated and furious Zhao Ruge, Bu Fang was slightly baffled and puzzled. However, his face was still indifferent as he replied, ”The last jar is already reserved.”
”Reserved? An excuse… That's definitely an excuse!” Zhao Ruge thought. Looking at that Bu Fang‘s expressionless face, he was tempted to throw his shoe at him. That face definitely deserved a beating!
”Then tell me, who reserved the third jar of wine? I'll go and throw money at him until he gives it up!” Zhao Ruge said with a gloomy expression.
”Oh, that's up to you. I don't care as long as you're not causing trouble within the store,” Bu Fang simply said, then turned around and headed toward the kitchen. However, when he reached the entrance, he suddenly turned back and curiously asked, ”Are you not going to order other dishes? Are you only going to drink?”
”I'd like to have Golden Shumai,” Xiao Yanyu softly said.
Xiao Xiaolong was grinning as he ordered the improved Egg-Fried Rice. The three barbarians of Ouyang ordered a portion of Lees Fish as usual since that was the only dish they could taste.
