Chapter 112: The Bronze Crate Collection

"That's it?" Shen Yan's boring appearance made Anna want to tickle him!

Sensing the lady's intentions, Shen Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "Didn't I talk to you before?" I don't like this wine on the Brech's Shore, because the old fellow has a very nasty attitude, and he is embarrassed that a dignified duke should send a butler to take advantage of it...... He pulled down the average of the Towcente nobility, is it worth it for you to be angry with him?

Besides, my dear, for my sake. Not only will I not use this recipe myself, but I will also give it to you - for free! ”

"Oh, really? Ha~ Ahem, that old guy is really ...... Well, pulled down our average. Lady Anna blinked, holding back her laughter, and the three thousand grievances just now were long gone.

Because Shen Yan hit her "vital point" again.

As soon as Shen Yan heard it, he understood that what Anna said was "not even the office" - since he didn't dare, there must be complaints.

If you want to talk about the country of Touscent, the place is not large, but there are more than a dozen hereditary dukes. Although they are all "dukes of red wine" (similar to court dukes, but hereditary), they have no territory and no military power except for their own vineyards and brands, but they are equal to Anna in their titles, which makes Anna how happy. Therefore, all the official documents issued by Towson emphasized the title of "Her Majesty" of Lady Anna...... As we all know, the principality should not be worthy of the title of "Your Majesty".

However, red wine is the lifeblood of the country, and the high-quality red wine brands are in the hands of these families, and the principality has to pay wealth, titles and even marriages to win it. Today, the status of these families has risen to the top - whenever the empire wants red wine and the dukes want profit, Baroness Anna has to be splinted in the middle.

But today...... Anna suddenly felt that the barrel of wine poured on the ground was simply a little cute!

Children only talk about right and wrong, and adults only talk about interests! Good politics is politics with checks and balances.

If she had the recipe in her hand, the Duke of Brescher's family would dare to behave no more, so she could only quietly send a barrel of freshly brewed Brescher's Shore red wine...... Oh ha~ must have scared the half of Brescher's old coffin! The old lady is so excited! There is no need for real mass production to create undying hatred. As long as Her Majesty proves that she has the ability to brew the Shores of Brescher, the House of Brishek will be Anna's most loyal allies!

Otherwise, hehe, believe it or not, there will be a day when the principality will fall, and the loyal retainer will burn all the recipes with a fire, but only Breschel's ...... That's a dead man.

"You're amazing! Tell me how? I was furious when I heard that the old guy didn't come at all, and actually asked a butler to bring a few bottles of wine and wanted to take the elixir. That is, you have a big heart, if I will kick him out! I have mobilized a number of people to laugh at him, and believe me, his reputation in Bowland has become insignificant. ”

"Your heart...... After the measurement is completed, it is like a hill and a ravine, and the soft cotton elastic is not as good as it. And how do I think you're going more than that old guy? ”

"I hate it, don't move around, can you give me this barrel of wine too?"

"Yes."

This doesn't matter even more – the purpose of winemaking was to analyze the recipe, and now the goal has been achieved.

Since the grapes used in the wine are ordinary products bought in the market, the taste of the unique brand in the wine is compensated for by alchemical potions, which is really not of the first-class level. Now that the recipe is completely mastered, Shen Yan can even surpass the original if he rebrews it once with the right grapes, and naturally he will not be able to look down on these defective products.

If Anna hadn't asked for it, he had planned to take it to trap people......

*****

Touching, hugging, kissing...... Anna, who was confused, was still thinking to herself, why are you so skilled? Immediately, I felt my body light, and the whole person was hugged.

Knowing what would happen next, Anna couldn't help but take a deep breath, tilted her head, and exposed her perfect neck to Shen Yan's wolf kiss. The neck is itchy and wants to be kissed...... Just when she was distracted, her eyes subconsciously swept over the wooden shelves of the cellar full of wooden barrels.

Full of barrels...... Full ......

"Stop, you wait!" Anna slapped away his big hand that had reached into her clothes, and forced herself out of the confusion. With one hand on her collar, she searched the room, panting as she slung a long cone-pointed iron weapon across her chest.

In an instant, the image of a little widow who is unyielding and brave to resist is vividly played......

"Lay down your arms and don't hurt the hostages!" Shen Yan immediately raised his hands and said bitterly...... I won't be softer than you are in the throat, but why should you be in the chest? Where did my rabbit offend you?

"Hell, what have you been thinking all day...... Do you think I don't know what this thing is? Don't underestimate me, I'm the master of the wine kingdom of Towcente! ”

Lady Anna held the long cone in her hand and thrust it with her backhand! pierced the cork of the barrel on the shelf next to him...... A dark red syrup flows down the hollow cone. Anna didn't care about the image, she blocked the collar with her hand, leaned straight to the exit and took a sip.

"Sure enough, it's the east of the east! Hum! ”

Pull out the long cone and allow the cork of the cask to close on its own. Anna's eyes glared at Shen Yan "viciously", and she inserted the wine cone into another wooden barrel with her backhand and leaned over.

"Wait a minute, that ......"

"Don't let me taste it? I want it! Ahh......h This is the Pomino that hasn't come yet, vomit ~~ water water water. ”

……

When she finally came to her senses, Anna looked up at the barrels that filled the walls, and finally realized that her sudden inspiration was not a delusion...... This guy really did that! He was afraid that he would sweep away the red wine recipe of the entire Duchy of Touscent!

"Alas, Lord of the East, Duke Jared regards you as a close friend! Whenever the nobles gather, he will promote your hospitality and erudition everywhere, and even actively help you run your title. Half of your reputation in Towcent was earned by his help. If he knows you stole his recipe for Higashi and Porino......"

Lady Anna had a complicated expression.

"You're right." Shen Yan nodded solemnly in agreement, "So I will never hand over the formula to you!" ”

"Oh-I didn't mean that......"

"Nope! I'm a very principled man! ”

*****

Jokes aside, there is still something to be done to help Lady Anna secure her position.

A woman who no one can count on, who is praised as a doll on stage, can't change anything, she can only use her pride and identity to hide her powerlessness...... It's pitiful to say.

Of course, if Shen Yan hadn't been on it, he would definitely think it was about me. Right now...... It's really about him.

"One box with two keys, and you can only see the recipe if you open it at the same time."

Shen Yan took the bronze box with two keyholes and demonstrated it: the box was unlocked, the two keys were turned at the same time, and the prescription appeared; The key is drawn or turned incorrectly, and the box is empty. In other words, the recipe does not actually exist in the box, it is a teleportation mechanism, and it is just a teleportation of the recipe at the moment of opening the box, which must mislead many, many people...... The principle is the same as that of the "Teleportation Pack".

Anna, of course Anna was shaken and shaken, losing too much water.

Grasping the box, she felt that this life was as stable as Mount Tai!

The previous "elixir of many sons and many blessings" is grace, and the current red wine recipe is a big stick to beat!

At this moment, she really felt the power of being possessed by power as a majesty. The military power of the principality has always been in her hands, but if a ruler holds the military power but does not dare to use it, it is humiliating; Now that she has real military power in her hands, she doesn't intend to use it, which is merciful.

…… She's going to go back and be merciful to all those bastards now!

"No hurry, no hurry." Shen Yan touched her long hair, like touching a kitten. "With four Aces in hand, what are you anxious about? When you get back, gather your henchmen, show them the recipe, and let them help you think of a way to get ahead. In the future, if something goes wrong, someone will take the blame. Don't do these things yourself, the king will never get his hands dirty...... Because he has men. ”

"Well, don't call me a king, I'm a duke...... Don't say it to outsiders. Her Majesty Anna hid herself in Shen Yan's arms with the box and cried profusely...... Even if you are born as a duke, who has not accumulated a stomach of grievances and has nowhere to say. "Do you have any requirements? Sink. Anything, anything, I promise you! Even if you want this country! ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

“…… I can't marry you. ”

"Why?"

"I already have a wife."

……

"Smack!"

"You let go of me, let go!" Shen Yan could only let go, and watched His Majesty Anna hold the box and leave angrily.

But the moment he stepped onto the cellar elevator, he saw Anna regain her spirits, and she turned to him with her head held high.

"You remember, it's not that you reject me, it's that I don't want to marry you!"
