Nowadays, everyone in Da Qi, including the top leaders of some neighboring countries, knows that there is a Master Lu in the capital, and that Master Lu owns an industry called Shopping Plaza.
It was a commercial street with all kinds of novel goods, each of which was a rare treasure.
It is a paradise for the rich. It is said that as long as you have money, you can enjoy the treatment of a god there.
But if you don’t have money, sorry, you don’t even have the qualifications to take a look at heaven, and the security guards will be very aggressive and drive you away with sticks.
Gondor had also heard of the great name of this place during the Liao and Jin dynasties.
There's no way around it. The things that flow out of here are really too good. If any of the opinions are spread to the public, it might cause a bloody storm.
It is said that Xixia has concluded an alliance with Da Qi. Now many high-ranking officials of Xixia can come to Da Qi to play at will. Many people plunge into the commercial street and do not come out for ten days or half a month.
Although they felt a little weak after coming out, everyone was smiling and no one said anything bad about this place.
Even the Liao and Jin nobles were eager to come, but unfortunately the Xixia nobles could not get green cards yet. If they wanted to come here for a visit, they could only apply in advance.
Therefore, not many people can make the journey successfully, but as long as they have really come here, when they return, they will definitely become guests of honor of all the nobles of Liao and Jin.
Just talking about their experiences and feelings is enough to keep them busy in all the Liao and Jin noble circles for half a year.
If you can bring back one or two treasures, they can be sold at a sky-high price.
Gondor knew very well that many young people said they wanted to come to Da Qi to study, but in fact they just wanted to take a look at the commercial street.
Gondor was also very curious. He also wanted to know what was going on that fascinated people so much.
Gondor has always felt that those who achieve great things must have tenacious perseverance and self-control. No matter what kind of temptation he faces, he can withstand it. After all, he is the national teacher of Liao and Jin. He feels that he is so outstanding.
However, Gondor soon realized that he was still too young. Although he was nearly forty years old, the moment he stepped into the commercial street, he was no different from a young boy who had just seen the world.
The lavishly decorated shops around him were almost blinding. Although he had seen countless storms, he suddenly grabbed Yelu Qi's arm and pointed at the glass window beside him, saying, "Are they crazy? Such a complete and large piece of colored glaze, just left here like this? No one stole it?"
Yelu Qi looked at the glass display window in front of him and said with emotion, "Master Lu is really generous in his work. The shop uses transparent glass as the windows, which makes the lighting different. It's much brighter inside, and anyone who walks in will feel better."
Gondor looked at the shops on the street with some disbelief. The layout of each shop seemed to be the same, which meant that Lu Chen had spent a terrifying amount of money on these shops alone.
The atmosphere inside the commercial street is very free, and Gondor can hear the laughter of girls from time to time.
He frowned slightly and said, "Women in Daqi are free to go out and play as they please. Don't their families care?"
"If I were to go somewhere else, my family would definitely not agree. But if I come here, not only will they not care, they will also encourage me. After all, those who can come here are all of status and position, or at least rich. If I go out more often, I might meet my ideal husband." Yelu Qi explained.
Gondor nodded without saying anything more. He had just visited two shops and all they sold were things his daughter would like, and he had no interest in them.
But soon his nose twitched and his throat moved uncontrollably.
"What a nice smell! Whose wine is this?" Just now, Gondor smelled a strong aroma of wine.
Yelu Qi hurriedly explained, "There's only one store selling alcohol here, and that's the Chinese Academy of Sciences' direct-operated store. I heard they have a department dedicated to researching alcoholic beverage recipes, so this should be their new product."
"Let's go and take a look!" Gondor said without caring about Yeluqi and walked into the shop first.
The Liao and Jin people loved wine. Wine was a good thing to them. A sip of it in winter could keep them warm for half a day!
Gondor is also a wine lover. As the national teacher, he has naturally drunk many good wines, but this is the first time he has smelled such a rich and fragrant wine. It must be some kind of nectar!
The person who greeted me at the door was not a servant, but a girl who was dressed appropriately and had the perfect smile on her face.
After seeing Gondor, he did not show any unusual expression because of Gondor's appearance. Instead, he smiled warmly and said, "Please come in, sir. We have a new product in our shop today. You must try it."
As she spoke, the woman took the wine spoon, scooped a spoonful of wine, poured it into an exquisite porcelain cup, and respectfully presented it to Gondor with both hands.
Gondor reached out to take the wine glass, first put it in front of him and smelled it. After making sure that the taste was fragrant and there was no unpleasant odor, he drank the wine in his hand.
"Good!" After drinking the wine, Gondor couldn't help but say good.
The wine he drank was extremely sweet, and the most rare thing was that the fragrance was long-lasting, leaving a lingering taste on his lips and teeth.
Gondor had never tasted such wine before. It tasted very good and was very clean.
Apart from the spiciness, there is only a light fragrance when you first taste it, and maybe a hint of sweetness on the aftertaste, but there are no other flavors.
Gondor returned the wine glass to the maid and was about to say something when the maid smiled and poured him a second glass of wine.
Looking at the wine and drinks in front of him, Gondor naturally accepted them all. He did not ask the price because he believed that he could afford it. He also believed that even in the capital, no one would dare to cheat him so blatantly.
After drinking the second glass of wine, Gondor's eyes widened even more.
Although both glasses of wine are as clear as water in appearance, the second glass of wine is obviously mellower than the first.
It’s hard to say which one is better, we can only say that everyone has their own preferences.
Gondor prefers the second one, he likes the one with a higher degree.
Just as Gondor was about to point to the second kind of wine and say, "Give me a hundred jars of it, I want to go back," the maid had already brought the third glass of wine to Gondor.
In this way, Gondor, led by the maid, walked around the store and tasted a total of seventeen kinds of wine.
By the time he finished his seventeenth glass, he was already a little tipsy.
Gondor put his arm around Yeluqi's shoulders and said, "Lord Yelu, you've done a great job. This place is really nice. I like it very much. No wonder they all say this is heaven."
After hearing this, Yelu Qi suddenly wanted to find a place to hide.
What's good? You just had a few drinks, and that's good?
You, the dignified imperial teacher of the Liao and Jin dynasties, were appeased by a few glasses of wine? Isn't that a bit embarrassing?
Seeing that Gondor was about to return home, Yelu Qi hurriedly approached him and said, "Master Imperial Master, we have just entered. There are more exciting things to come..."
"Hmm? Are there any experts?"
