The entire apprenticeship ceremony lasted about an hour, and when it was over, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning.

The guests who came to watch the ceremony were all in high spirits. Not to mention that the fact that four top masters in the industry accepted a disciple together was enough to be a major event in the industry, just being able to see those masters of the older generation with their own eyes today was enough to make these guests very happy.

The guests who were able to receive invitations to attend the ceremony today were mostly big names in the circle, and those who were not qualified enough could not receive such invitations. The four of Liu Lao were the top people in the circle, and ordinary people could not receive invitations from them personally.

But these big names in the circle are nothing in front of those legendary old masters. Usually these legendary figures are rarely seen, just like Mr. Yang, who has long been secluded in his hometown of Tianqu and has not been involved in worldly affairs. Not to mention them, even those in the Palace Museum rarely see Mr. Yang.

And today, not only did Mr. Yang host the apprenticeship ceremony, but nine legendary masters of the older generation also appeared at once. This was simply unimaginable.

Although four seniors left due to health reasons after the ceremony, five others stayed to accompany everyone for the lunch. This is definitely a great honor for people in the circle.

When the guests arrived at the booked hotel for lunch, they found that the drinks at the lunch were very special.

There are more than ninety guests coming to watch the ceremony today. Including the disciples and relatives brought by these guests, there are a total of about two hundred people. Twenty banquet tables can be set up in the hotel.

Then everyone saw a black earthenware jar placed in the center of the wine table. It was obvious that this earthenware jar was a wine jar because the mud seal on it had been opened, leaving only the cover and wax seal inside that had not been opened.

Those who could attend the ceremony today were all big names in the circle, and their eyesight was absolutely impeccable. Therefore, they could tell at a glance that these earthenware jars were old objects, at least half a century old, and this way of sealing the jars was rare nowadays, so these guests were very curious and looking forward to what kind of wine would be found after these jars were opened.

With this jar of wine around, no one paid attention to the Feitian Moutai next to it.

Sure enough, before the banquet began, one of the hosts, Mr. Liu, stood up and explained to the people in the hall: "I believe everyone has seen these wine jars on the table today. These wines were provided by my disciple Yang Jing. They are genuine Erguotou wines that have been buried in the underground wine cellar for more than 60 years. Yang Jing also found this batch of wine by chance. Today, thanks to your care, I specially took out 20 jars to entertain you. This wine is very small, so only one jar can be served per table. I hope everyone can forgive me."

As soon as Mr. Liu said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Those who collect antiques either like good tea or good wine, and most of them like both. Almost every guest present likes to drink a little, but when they heard that the wine on the table today was Erguotou that had been buried underground for more than 60 years, how could they hold back?

They are all collectors, so of course they know the price of this kind of wine. It is no exaggeration to say that if this kind of wine is auctioned, seven figures is just the starting price!

But, how many bottles of this old wine that has been stored in cellars for more than 60 years can be found in all of China?

Even those who don't drink much or don't drink at all on a daily basis can't help but try it.

This kind of wine is something you will have less and less of as you drink it, especially for young people. If they drink this kind of wine once, they will be able to brag about it for years after they go back!

Have you ever drunk wine that costs tens of thousands of dollars per sip?

Of course, the guests were more shocked by Yang Jing's generosity. These twenty jars of wine would cost tens of millions! Drinking tens of millions of old wine at a lunch, even if you look at the whole country, I'm afraid there are not many people who can do this.

The most important thing is that some top tycoons may be able to spend tens of millions of dollars on wine, but this kind of old wine cannot be bought even with money! Anyone who gets this kind of old wine will probably treasure it and collect it. Who would hesitate to give it to strangers to drink...

Of course, Yang Jing's four masters were also very proud. They accepted an apprentice, but the apprentice was so rich that he took out these old wines. This was definitely a great honor for the four masters!

Yang Jing, Gege, as well as Mr. Liu and Mr. Xiao, accompanied Mr. Yang, Mr. Geng, Mr. Lu and three other top masters in the industry. Mr. Yang and Ms. Yang, as well as Mr. Guo and Cai Yi, were at another table with several other masters of the older generation.

Mr. Lu, who was sitting in the guest of honor seat, took a sip of the wine and pursed his lips gently. A satisfied smile appeared on his wrinkled face. "Good wine, Lao Geng, Lao Yang, the wine provided by this little fellow is really good. I haven't had such a mellow wine for many years. I remember the last time I drank such good wine was when I went to Ziguang Pavilion with Mr. Qi Gong. At that time, the Prime Minister was still there. The Prime Minister treated Mr. Qi Gong and me to Erguotou wine stored in the cellar before liberation. Wow, the taste is really unforgettable. I didn't expect that I could still drink such good wine after almost fifty years."

Yang Jing said respectfully: "Grandpa Lu, I am just offering you a gift. If you like to drink, please take two jars with you when you leave."

When Elder Lu heard this, he burst into laughter and pointed at Yang Jing and said, "This kid is quite straightforward. Xiao Liu, Xiao Xiao, you are so lucky to have such a good disciple."
