night.

Bookstore.

The short, long-haired wine connoisseur took a big gulp of wine, placed the wine pot on his desk, and then went to take a bath.

This is his creative habit.

He liked to start writing at night, and he had to take a shower first, then sit naked at his desk, drinking and writing furiously.

Zhao Cheng tiptoed to the desk, poured the wine from his wine pot out the window, took out the wine he had brought, poured it into the pot, and put it away. He then glanced at the desk.

"Little Zhao Flying Dagger" is nearing its end, and the popularity of the Wine Immortal has been soaring recently.

Like Jin Yong, Zhao Cheng is also a martial arts novelist, and comparisons between the two have been a long-standing topic among readers. Especially after Zhao Cheng created a collaboration between poetry and novels, Zhao Cheng, while a leading figure of the unrestrained school, contrasted with Jin Yong's style, both focusing on patriotism and lofty ambitions, intensifying the comparisons between them.

Zhao Cheng was quite pleased with this phenomenon and even promoted it, since comparisons can boost sales. However, readers thought the two were irreconcilable enemies, but in reality, they lived under the same roof and often drank shirtless together.

When the Wine Immortal returned after washing up, Zhao Cheng was already hiding behind the bookshelf.

Just as rumored, the Wine Immortal began writing naked.

As he wrote, the wine connoisseur's expression changed with the plot, and his pen moved faster and faster.

For writers, this state of inspiration, flowing like a torrent, is quite comfortable.

Almost entirely out of subconscious habit, the wine connoisseur picked up the wine jug and took a sip.

"ha……"

After finishing his drink, the wine connoisseur let out a long breath and then continued writing.

A breath passed.

Two breaths passed.

The wine connoisseur was suddenly stunned!

He put down his pen, picked up the wine pot again, smelled it first, and then took a big gulp.

"ha……"

Like rain after a long drought, the wine connoisseur drank the wine in the pot completely.

"How's this wine?" Zhao Cheng asked from behind the bookshelf, quite pleased with the wine connoisseur's reaction.

"Who?!" The wine connoisseur jumped up in surprise.

"Why don't you put on some pants before we talk?"

"It's the boss!"

The wine connoisseur recognized Zhao Cheng's voice and quickly put on his pants.

Zhao Cheng then came out.

"Boss, did you bring that wine earlier?"

"Hmm, how does it taste?"

"It's simply... simply the best wine in the world!"

After a pause, the wine connoisseur continued, "Of course, the boss is very knowledgeable, while I am ignorant and have not drunk much wine. But this is the best and strongest wine I have ever tasted!"

Zhao Cheng laughed and said, "You're too modest. When it comes to wine, even a hundred of me can't compare to you. If even the Wine Immortal hasn't tasted a wine, then it must not exist in this world."

Zhao Cheng took out the remaining half-bottle from his pocket and said, "Indeed, this wine has never existed before; I just brewed it."

The wine connoisseur was stunned, but his gaze was fixed on the wine bottle in Zhao Cheng's hand. He asked, "Boss, did you brew this?"

"Hmm," Zhao Cheng asked, "Do you think this kind of taste can sell?"

"Of course it will sell! And it will definitely sell like hotcakes!!" the wine connoisseur said confidently, then stretched out his hand and said, "Boss, give me another taste."

"This wine has a high alcohol content, so you can't drink too much. A person who can usually drink five jin might only be able to drink one jin of this wine." Even so, Zhao Cheng still handed the wine bottle to the wine immortal, since there was less than half a jin left in it.

The wine connoisseur quickly took the initiative and emptied the bottle, then let out a burp.

"Delicious...good wine, truly excellent wine!"

"This is only a semi-finished product." Zhao Cheng found a chair and sat down, saying, "After I process it further, the flavor will be even richer."

"It can get even better?!" the wine connoisseur exclaimed excitedly. "Boss, then your wine will definitely sell well! What's the name of this wine?"

Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Your name is Wine Immortal, so let's name this wine Immortal Wine!"

The wine connoisseur was stunned and asked, "Why name it after me?"

"Because you are the inventor of this magical wine!"

"ah?"

The wine connoisseur scratched his head in confusion and said, "Boss, I don't understand..."

Zhao Cheng pointed to the manuscript on the desk and said, "Hurry up and finish writing the ending of 'Little Zhao Flying Dagger.' When you're done, come to the Right Prime Minister's residence to find me, and I'll teach you how to brew this immortal wine. Then, I'll arrange channels to sell it in your name, so you can earn enough money for the rest of your life!"

The wine immortal trembled with excitement, almost kneeling before Zhao Cheng.

"Boss... Boss! What have I done to deserve this?!"

Zhao Cheng spoke casually, but the Wine Immortal knew what it meant.

Based on his research on wine, once this celestial wine is released, it will definitely become a best-selling product. If the price is right, it may completely replace the wines of the past.

Zhao Cheng's statement that he could earn enough money for the rest of his life was definitely not just empty talk!

But that's not the most crucial point. As a true wine lover who uses the pen name "Wine Immortal," if he were to become the inventor of this "Immortal Wine," he might go down in history!

This is true glory for one's ancestors, a meteoric rise to great heights!

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get going!" Zhao Cheng got up and left.

The Wine Immortal felt that happiness had come too suddenly. He saw Zhao Cheng to the door and said loudly, "Don't worry, boss! I will definitely..."

Zhao Cheng immediately turned around and shushed, "Keep your voice down, don't tell anyone for now."

"Understood!" The Wine Immortal immediately closed the door, leaving Zhao Cheng outside.

Zhao Cheng paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, muttering, "This drunkard..."

In fact, this immortal wine is the baijiu from Zhao Cheng's previous life. Several years ago, Zhao Cheng had the idea of ​​making baijiu, but he never put it into action.

Firstly, his identity was too sensitive. Zhao Cheng knew that baijiu was a valuable product and that its release would likely cause a sensation. Without a firm grasp on its control, he dared not act rashly.

Secondly, brewing liquor wastes too much grain. The Right Prime Minister's residence doesn't have much land, and it's not easy for ordinary people to grow grain. Many people can't even afford to eat. Zhao Cheng doesn't want to profit from human suffering.

Thirdly, they lack both manpower and funds. They can manage small things like making soap or serializing novels, which are low-cost endeavors, but making wine is something they only dare to dream about.

But things are different now.

After five years of operation, Zhao Cheng had gained a mature grasp of the Yanchuan market and was able to handle unexpected situations. After eliminating Su Wansan and Du Laihua, Zhao Cheng controlled a considerable amount of land. In particular, Zhao Cheng had helped Xu An seize Du Laihua's land. Although it was in Xu An's hands, Zhao Cheng could use it whenever he needed and could grow his own grain.

Most importantly, Zhao Cheng now has both manpower and capital.

If you want to build the beginnings of a business empire, wine is an excellent choice.

Penicillin is a double-edged sword; it can save lives and make money, but Yuan Xiu must not know that Zhao Cheng got it.

Although Zhao Cheng will only work behind the scenes in building the future business empire, he doesn't want to reveal any unnecessary clues.

Therefore, Zhao Cheng would only sell penicillin under the name of the clinic.

So, alcohol and daily necessities alone were not enough; Zhao Cheng also prepared something else.

The target customers for alcoholic beverages are primarily men.

And this thing will serve women!
