Chapter 3: The Great Victory
A few good drinkers took a sip, only to think that this wine was really the best in the world, and immediately encouraged several other friends to taste it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But although more people have been tempted to drool, they still feel sorry for the spirit stone in their hands, so they have to forcibly hold back.
After a stick of incense, although the onlookers already knew that this must be a superb wine, only more than 20 jars were sold.
West Market, Li Chen's place to sell alcohol.
It's as prosperous as the East Market, and it's a good place to sell.
Li Chen chose all those who looked honest and honest, and one of them was still stuttering, and he couldn't speak clearly, so of course they didn't know how to shout. So these guys honestly followed Li Chen's instructions and opened all the lids of the wine, and for a while the wine was fragrant, and it could be smelled from several streets. Soon, I don't know how many pedestrians came to their sales point when they smelled the fragrance, and the inner three floors and the outer three floors were impassable.
Then, according to Li Chen's instructions, this group of guys also set up a big sign.
There are four lines of large characters written on it:
Gyokuro Divine Brew, the best wine in Lingshui City.
A jar of jade dew wine, fifty lower grade spirit stones.
One altar of divine brewing, one hundred and ninety-nine lower-grade spirit stones.
One jar of jade dew and one altar of divine brewing, and two hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
A guy at the head looked at the brand he made, and only felt that the legendary Li Chen was really as good as his name suggested, stupid enough, and would actually let us make such a stupid brand.
He had no hope of winning, and thought, "I have done as he tells me, so let's bask in the sun! Anyway, I estimate that I will sell up to ten jars!"
As the saying goes: the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, let alone in such a market.
Sure enough, a few strong men who were addicted to alcohol only knew that it was the best wine when they smelled the strong aroma of wine, and no matter how much it priced, they left after buying a few jars.
And among the waves of onlookers, there are also many good drinkers. As soon as they looked at the brand, they unconsciously thought: "It seems that it is very profitable to buy Gyokuro plus Divine Brew! Yes, yes, if I buy Gyokuro plus Divine Brew, compared to only buying Divine Brew, it is equivalent to Yulu I only spent a low-grade spirit stone, and I must make money! Yes, I have to buy it like this!"
Many people are thinking in their hearts at this time that it seems to be much more cost-effective to buy Gyokuro and divine brew than to just buy divine brew. So, they began to itch in their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people couldn't resist the temptation to buy.
As a result, the wine sold surprisingly quickly. And everyone invariably chose Gyokuro and Divine Brew, and no one bought a jar alone. The weirdest thing for the guys is that everyone who buys wine has a smile on their faces, and there is a feeling that they have earned it when they buy wine.
The guys are starting to get a little confused.
Because of the current scene, it's almost a robbery. The people in the back row desperately squeezed to the front, for fear that they would be sold out if it was too late.
Why is this happening?
None of them could figure out why. All they knew was that the wine was selling like crazy, and the bags of spirit stones were getting bulging more and more.
In less than half a pillar of incense, a total of one hundred jars of gyokuro and divine brew have been snapped up.
Seeing that it was empty, and there was only one big brand left, the guys all swallowed a mouthful of saliva, you look at me, I look at you, I think hell.
What a strange day!
The guys couldn't figure it out even if they wanted to, so they simply stopped thinking about it. The guy led by the man drove the empty carriage, holding a sack of spirit stones, and rushed back to Fengxiang Restaurant in a hurry.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper! I'm done selling!" The guy rushed into the restaurant with a big bag of spirit stones.
"It seems that Li Chen's side is sold out?" All the guests who were waiting for the results in the restaurant couldn't react for a while, and a few people slapped each other a few times to see if they were dreaming.
"Uncle Li, not counting the time for you to rush back and forth, this is less than half a stick of incense, and it is really sold out?" asked the shopkeeper in confusion.
"Really!" The guy named Uncle Li crackled and fell to the ground, "Shopkeeper, look, all of them are sold out!"
Of course, there are many medium-grade spirit stones, and one hundred lower-grade spirit stones are equal to one medium-grade spirit stone, so many people who buy wine are directly given two medium-grade spirit stones.
Only then did the shopkeeper say in a sneering voice: "So, in this case, is Li Chen's son winning?"
"Impossible!"
"How could we lose to this bale of straw!"
"It must be this guy cheating in partnership with straw bales!"
"Yes, these guys must have notified the City Lord's Mansion and cheated!"
The four expressed strong protests.
They have been practicing in the Shenwu Academy since they were children, and they think they are dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are all extremely proud people, how can they believe that they will lose to Li Chen?
The only reason is that Li Chen cheats.
The shopkeeper couldn't afford to offend Li Chen, and he couldn't afford to offend the students of the Shenwu Academy who were obviously angry in front of him, so he had to ask again: "Uncle Li, you have always been honest, you shouldn't have cheated, right?"
Everyone also wants to know what Uncle Li said, if what Uncle Li said is true, then it is really a big miracle.
Uncle Li drove all the way, ran all the way, and his mouth was dry. After picking up the tea bowl next to him and drinking it in one gulp, he said: "Shopkeeper, I really didn't lie, we opened all the lids of wine according to Li Gongzi's instructions, and then set up a sign, and those spectators started to buy wine like crazy, and after a while, all the wine was bought." If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the West Market to ask. I still remember that among the people who bought wine, there was the butcher Lao Zhang Ye in the east of the city, and the blacksmith Zhang Datou in the west of the city, by the way, and your card friend, Tailor Wang. You can ask them why they want to buy our wine, anyway, I don't understand, but we really didn't cheat. ”
After saying that, he also moved out the big sign. Everyone immediately turned their attention to the sign to see what was going on inside.
"Hahaha, how can there be such an outrageous price in the world!"
"I think it's Li Chen's son, he miscalculated. The Jade Dew Plus Divine Brew should be two hundred and forty-nine lower-grade spirit stones. ”
"With only one more spirit stone, isn't it a fool to only buy divine brew!"
"This is a strange price! Only he can stand it."
............
......
The drinkers whispered to each other, a little afraid that Li Chen would hear and blame him.
The fat-headed and big-eared shopkeeper has been in business for decades, and he has never seen such a brainless brand, so he can't help but laugh, just think that a fool has a fool's luck, Li Chen may be lucky this time, and there are many people who love wine. Smiling and smiling, he had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something, and stared at Li Chen with wide eyes, full of incredulity.
Li Chen smiled: "I am willing to lose the bet, you four, kowtow to me a hundred times, and call me a hundred grandfathers." ”
"You're dreaming!"
"You deserve it!"
"You must have cheated, we don't accept it!"
"Straw bale, I don't accept it!"
The four of them were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, and they were strong in blood, so how could they easily admit defeat? Moreover, they all thought that there was something strange in this, and it must be that Li Chen had sent someone to secretly play tricks.
And if you really kowtow to Li Chen and call grandpa, it will be a great shame!
In short, they say nothing and refuse to admit defeat.
"I knew you weren't going to admit it. Li Chen got up leisurely, stretched his waist, walked straight to the door, and commanded his entourage loudly, "A few of you, when you wait, you will go to spread the news all over the city, just say that these four boys gambled with me, and refused to admit it if they lost, so be sure to let this matter spread throughout Lingshui City." By the way, we must focus on publicizing at the door of the four major families, and we must also post notices, and the notices will be written with the four big words 'willing to gamble and lose'. ”
The entourage couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they wanted to leave when they hugged Li Chen.
As soon as Chen Yiping heard that he was going to spread the news, he was instantly angry. As soon as his head was hot, his blood was surging, his eyes turned red instantly, he pulled out the heavy knife in his hand, he forgot Li Chen's identity, and he slashed when he raised the knife.
He is a student of the Shenwu Academy, and he is an outstanding son within the family, he has the acquired sevenfold cultivation at a young age, and he is afraid that an ordinary strong man can knock one down with one punch. He has been pampered since he was a child, how can he afford such an insult. His body suddenly exuded a brutal momentum, and he shouted angrily, "Die, you!", and immediately kicked out a few big steps, and the hundred-pound heavy knife was like an arm, roaring through the air, and it was about to cut Li Chen's small head.
Seeing this, the entourage immediately panicked and stepped forward to protect Li Chen.
"Peng!"
Just when the blade was about to fall, the heavy knife broke out of thin air, and Chen Yiping also flew upside down a few zhang away and fell heavily into the wine jar.
A huge coercion instantly descended on Fengxiang Restaurant, making everyone present feel extremely frightened in their hearts, the air seemed to be condensed, and even breathing became a little difficult.
A tall and indifferent man "whoosh" appeared beside Li Chen. Dressed in a purple robe, he was nine feet tall and had an erect back, as if he were facing a towering mountain. He gently picked up Li Chen and rubbed his face dotingly.
"Lord of the City!" everyone in the restaurant immediately knelt down, and no one dared to make a sound.
With such a might, it is naturally the city lord of Lingshui City, that is, Li Chen's father, Li Rulong.
Except for Chen Yiping, who was rolling on the ground in pain, the other three were all kneeling on the ground and trembling, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Chen family boy, you are so bold!" Li Rulong said coldly.
Chen Yiping didn't care about any pain at this time, gritted his teeth and lay on the ground, and replied tremblingly: "Lord City, I know that I am wrong, I am confused for a while, I ask the city lord for forgiveness! City Lord, you must spare me once!"
"Hmph!" Li Rulong's voice was so cold that it was chilling, "Tomorrow, let your family master come to see me!" After speaking, he picked up Li Chen, jumped in one step, and flew out of Fengxiang Restaurant.
"Whew!"
The coercion was gone, and everyone was gasping for air.
