"Really...... Be all abroad. Ji Ran sighed when he saw that the matter was finally over.

This is indeed inexplicable enough. Anya's sentence is not too excessive, even if the owner of the restaurant comes, it is impossible to be embarrassed by that sentence...... What's the matter, your restaurant's wines are the best in the world? No other wine in this world is better than your restaurant?

It's just this Lei Wei who caught Anya's words and sneered vigorously, and the commoners kept talking about it, looking like "I am a nobleman and I am proud". In the end, there was even a bet...... Who believes that he is not here to find fault?

"It's not inexplicable, is it...... This guy and I are from the same academy, and we haven't been very good at dealing with each other. This time, you're being implicated by me. Krees sat down with a wry smile.

It turned out that Krees and that Ray Wei were both students of Rising Star Academy. Rising Star is the largest academy in the Liberl Kingdom, and it is one of the best colleges of the four Big 6. can be admitted to the stars of tomorrow with their own strength, and both of them can be called the pride of the sky.

It's just that although the two are in the same grade and in the same class, their relationship has not been very good...... It can even be said that it is a sworn enemy.

Lei Wei is a person from Liber's old aristocratic family, and believes that nobles should look like nobles and should not be mixed with commoners. But Krees's family became a nobleman because of his grandfather Solan, so naturally he didn't have so many worries. Whether he is a nobleman or not, as long as he is a good person, he is willing to make friends.

Slowly, the contradiction between the two people intensified. In fact, this is also a microcosm of the internal contradictions of the entire Liber Kingdom - there are many conflicts between the old and new nobles in various aspects. The rift between the two factions is getting bigger and bigger. This conflict. It even extends to students attending the academy.

Among the colleges. The children of the two factions of nobility are also incompatible, and various contradictions often arise. The old aristocracy is powerful and more entrenched than the new aristocracy; But the new aristocracy and commoners were more connected and had more plebeian support. In this way, the two sides have been at loggerheads, and some large and small conflicts have often erupted.

This time, it was just an extension of the dispute between the two nobles.

Krees eats with the civilians at fancy restaurants, and the civilians are ashamed to say that they have drunk better wines. Isn't this just the chance to take a good hit at Krees? Expose their boastful cowhides, and wouldn't Krees be ashamed?

Lei Wei had a good idea, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Ji Ran could really come up with a superb wine that surprised the tasters of the restaurant......

After Ji Ran and the others listened to what Krees said, they were all speechless. This kind of thing is not something they can be involved in...... It seems that even the Kingdom of Libel, which has always flaunted its nobility and elegance, has quite a big problem of its own.

But this is Krees's trouble, and maybe it is also Solan's trouble, and it really doesn't have much to do with them.

Ji Ran sighed for a while. Turning his head, he saw that the taster of the restaurant had not left. He's weird. Looking at the taster: "Thank you for helping us as witnesses, but there should be nothing wrong now......"

The sommelier looked at the barrel of wine with an obsessive look in his eyes, and when he heard Ji Ran's words, he immediately reacted: "This gentleman, I will buy this barrel of wine from you on behalf of our Mithling Restaurant!" This wine tastes so good, it's so pitiful to be in such a barrel......"

Ji Ran couldn't laugh at the taster's enthusiasm for wine, but he could understand it. This is true in every industry, and the top group of people have a feeling of devoting themselves to their careers, and even a little crazy. Only such a person can achieve achievements in the industry that others cannot achieve.

For example, Sergei's group of alchemy masters, when they were doing that alchemy, they all forgot to sleep and eat, and yelled again and again all day because of a small problem, so noisy that those old guys even wanted to do it. And it is this spirit that makes the problems of alchemy real yĆ n broken through...... Well, Ji Ran also made a certain contribution, but the success of Shi YĆ n is inseparable from the madness of those alchemy masters.

"Well...... this," Ji Ran groaned. He still has the wine in his hand, and he can make it at any time - with the cooking skills of the game, it is so convenient for him to make wine. It is not unreasonable to sell this cask of wine - well, more than half a barrel - to this restaurant.

"I can call the shots and give out a thousand gold coins...... No, one thousand two hundred gold coins! Please sell us this cask of wine! "The taster's eyes are feverish, and looking at this barrel of wine is like looking at a close lover.

"Okay, then I'll sell it to you. It's not a whole barrel, and I hope you don't dislike it. Ji Ran finally nodded.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! Wait, I'll go to the manager and get the money right away! The sommelier was overjoyed and immediately rushed to the backstage of the restaurant.

After a while, the restaurant manager was pulled over by the sommelier. The manager also sniffed the aroma of the wine carefully, then observed the color again, and finally glanced at the taster. The taster nodded vigorously, and the restaurant manager had no more doubts. Happily took out the 1,200 gold coins and handed them to Ji Ran.

"Even if we invite you to this meal, I hope you have a good meal. By the way, sir, if you still have a wine of the same quality, our restaurant is willing to buy it at this price! As he spoke, the restaurant manager took a business card to Ji Ran.

Ji Ran didn't expect that there was such a thing as a business card in this world, but it was normal to think about it carefully. It's not very technical, and it's not uncommon for the upper echelons to bring business cards or something.

Business cards only have names, occupations, and addresses on them, so naturally there is no such thing as a phone number. Ji Ran nodded to indicate that he knew, and put the business card away.

The restaurant manager left, but Krees stared at Ji Ran with his mouth open.

"A barrel of wine...... Oh no, half a barrel of wine sold for more than a thousand gold coins? I didn't expect Ji Ran that you still have such a good thing hidden! Damn, just taste it......"

Ji Ran smiled and stretched out his hand and took out the bottle just now: "Isn't there another bottle?" Let's try it. ā€

drank Ji Ran's wine. Krees also looked surprised: "This is really ...... It's delicious! No wonder you don't like the wines at this restaurant. I actually have such a good thing in my hand! Where did you get this wine? Ancestral? Or is there some adventure? ā€

Ji Ran shook his head: "I brewed it myself." ā€

Krees squirted the wine out of his mouth with a puff. Fortunately, he tilted his head in time, and the wine was sprayed on the ground.

"You brewed it yourself? Impossible, right...... This wine, even the largest winery in Liber does not dare to say that it will be made, and in many cases it depends on luck......"

Ji Ran shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I'm telling the truth, I can't help it if you don't believe me." ā€

Krees was stunned for a long time, then suddenly rushed over and grabbed Ji Ran's hands: "Although it is a bit abrupt to say this, do you plan to sell this wine to the Liber Kingdom?" You see, it's just half a barrel of wine. The manager of this restaurant is willing to spend more than 1,000 gold coins to buy it! You see, he would never make a loss-making deal, and selling this half-barrel of wine in a bottle would at least double the profit for them. If you sell it yourself......"

Ji Ran looked at him with a smile on his face: "Isn't your wish to wander around and be a bard?" Would you like to stay in Liber and run a liquor business? ā€

Krees was also stunned when he heard this, and slowly let go of Ji Ran's hands: "That's what I said." As much as I love gold, I don't want to do business here all the time...... Alas, there is no way, the world always has to make a choice. And every time the choice is so painful......" he said, pouring another glass of wine. I drank it slowly.

"Actually, even if you want to, it's not that easy. We already have a distillery in Perth, and most of the wine I make is made and sold by the distillery. And...... This wine ...... It is cumbersome to brew and cannot be produced on a large scale. ā€

Ji Ran lied. For him, making this wine is not a problem at all. But the problem was that he couldn't give it to someone else to make it...... If it were someone else, the taste would be similar to that of the wines of this world.

This wine is too dependent on his culinary skills, and it can be said that the taste is all due to his culinary skills. If this wine is sold in batches, he will not have to do anything else.

Even if this matter is over. Naturally, this wine will appear in the future, but most of it is for friends...... If you want to give a gift or something, Ji Ran has a higher-grade wine to take out.

"That Lei Wei, his family has an alchemy shop, which is the Chimera alchemy shop. That Chimera Alchemy Shop is a competitor to our Lead and Gold Alchemy Shop...... That guy's words just now made me suspect that it was the Chimera Alchemy Shop's troublemaker in our shop! After two drinks, Kreese turned to the guy again.

Chimera Ji Ran knew that this thing actually represented a great achievement of alchemy...... Artificially forged into life! The Chimera is actually a product of alchemy, merging the traits of several creatures into eccentric creatures with two to three heads at once...... But this is also an achievement of ancient times, and the current alchemists no longer have this kind of technology.

The name of the alchemy shop was Chimera, whose owner was clearly a great admirer of alchemy in ancient times...... As an old-school aristocrat, this mentality is also taken for granted.

The Kingdom of Liber has always come from a view of itself as a descendant of an ancient empire, and its sense of superiority has always been much higher than that of other nations.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Are you sure? Ji Ran asked Krees.

Krees smiled wryly: "It's because I can't be sure...... Will those people do things lightly and let us catch the sore feet? The person who was taken to the garrison today would definitely insist that he just wanted to extort a little money, and he would definitely not be able to ask too much about it. ā€

Ji Ran also had nothing to do about this situation, so he could only comfort Krees a few words. But Kreese wasn't terribly worried.

"Anyway, there are grandfathers and them in the affairs of the alchemy shop, so I don't have to get involved. But what I have a headache now is the Alchemy Conference. ā€

"Alchemy Conference? What's the matter with you? Oh, I see, Master Solan wants you to participate in the Alchemy Contest in the future? ā€

Krees nodded with a bitter face: "This alchemy competition is divided into several stages, and one of them is a competition for people under the age of twenty. The rewards are great, but that's nothing. The most important thing is that each alchemy shop and alchemy room will send representatives to participate in the competition. If you get a good ranking, it will naturally be a good publicity for your alchemy shop or alchemy room. But if the results are not good...... The next thing to be ridiculed or something is still light, and it affects the business, then it will be troublesome. ā€

It turns out that this alchemy competition still has this intention...... But it's normal to think about it, the Liber Kingdom, as one of the regions with the most advanced alchemy in the entire Big 6, the gold content of the competition is still quite high. Ranking in this competition is indeed a good opportunity to get ahead and promote the alchemy organization behind yourself.

"Why, you don't have confidence in your alchemy?" Ji Ran asked Krees again.

Kreese's face was full of bitterness: "If you want to say that the general alchemy competition is okay, this alchemy competition, but the entire alchemy rookie of the big 6 will come over...... You see, if nothing else, even if it was that Lei Wei just now, alchemy wouldn't be much worse than mine...... Maybe it's even a little better than me. I wouldn't dare to call Gransell the top alone, let alone anywhere else. Grandpa, you also heard what he said just now, he only asked me to take the first place in the academy competition, and did not mention this alchemy conference, which is also to avoid adding pressure to me. But will I be free of this pressure? ā€

Ji Ran was silent. What can he say at this time? Alchemy is a thing that often only depends on one's own talent and hard work to make progress. And among them, hard work is important, and there are many examples of people with mediocre talents standing at the top by working hard, but if you look closely at all the alchemists who have stood at the top of the Big 6, you will be ...... The proportion of talent is still higher than that of hard work.

No way, the world is so unfair.

Presumably, Krees's ideal is to travel to the Big 6 and see the humanities and history of the entire Big 6, which has something to do with this great pressure.

After eating and drinking, Krees's spirits finally recovered.

"Okay, let you listen to my complaints for a long time, you are all a little impatient. Let's get on with the afternoon tour! Grancel is a historic city and there are so many places to see! Let's go, get out! ā€

After leaving the restaurant, Krees seemed to be charged again, and his previous decadent appearance disappeared, and he continued to tour Gransell with three people in high spirits.

It wasn't until late that the group returned to lead and gold. After Ji Ran met with Master Sergei and others, he said goodbye and left, and came to visit again the next day.

Back at the hotel, Ji Ranxian, Les, they had already returned. (To be continued......)
