Jiujiang City is not only the largest foreign trade port, but it has also historically been a place where all sorts of people mingle. Local gang leaders have been a constant presence.
According to Zhao Xiaoyue, it will take at least a decade or more for this place to achieve true peace.
What are the reasons? There are many reasons.
Rings within rings, veins connected to veins, umbrellas falling and falling—that's just how it is. It's hard to explain, and you can't figure it out without a thunderous and overwhelming force.
There is a famous winery in Luercheng, Jiujiang City, with a history of thousands of years, where a single cup is truly hard to come by.
Many wine lovers have come here because of its reputation, but some have left disappointed.
Some people, dissatisfied, try to cause trouble, but soon those troublemakers disappear.
If you said no one was protecting the distillery, and that you would kill everyone, Zhao Xiaoyue wouldn't believe it.
There's a saying, "Good wine needs no bush."
When Situ Ming and Zhao Xiaoyue wandered into Lu'er City, they were spotted by the local tyrants.
The reason is simple: the little girl is beautiful and the boy beside her is handsome and extraordinary—both are things that can fetch a good price.
Yes, the two of them were targeted as if they were cargo.
As soon as Situ Ming stepped out of the bus station in Luer City, he felt like he was being watched.
Seeing that the little girl was still skipping and hopping forward, he didn't pay any attention.
Rickshaws are the main mode of transportation in this area, but they are expensive, so ordinary people don't usually ride them.
A whole row of rickshaw drivers, seeing a potential customer approaching, rushed forward with boundless enthusiasm, eager to secure the fare.
This was the first time Situ Ming had encountered such a situation. He frowned, took half a step back, and shielded Zhao Xiaoyue behind him.
Zhao Xiaoyue took out five yuan and randomly pointed to a strong rickshaw driver, "To Xingfang."
One sentence sent birds and beasts scattering in fright.
Only one person asked uncertainly, "The Hu family's Xingfang winery?"
"Haven't I made myself clear enough? How many apricot brothels are there in Deer City?"
This man was dressed in coarse nylon clothes, wore an old felt hat, and had worn-out straw sandals on his feet. He was a strong young man with powerful muscles.
"Please wait a moment, sir, we need to discuss the price."
A skinny man next to him sneered, "You don't want to live anymore, Pillar? That place doesn't even allow people like us to go in. At best, you'll break your leg; at worst, you'll lose your life!"
Ignoring the shouts and taunts of others, Zhu Zi said, "I want ten yuan. If it works, I'll take you there."
Zhao Xiaoyue: "..."
She was just looking for something new, but judging from her reaction, is there something she doesn't know?
"I'll give you twenty to take the two of us to Deer City to settle the score."
Zhu Zi rubbed his hands together happily, "Yes, yes, please have a seat, esteemed guest."
He pulled down the white towel around his neck to wipe the seat, lowered the handlebars, and let Zhao Xiaoyue and the others get in the car.
It was Situ Ming's first time riding in a carriage pulled by people like this, and the noble young master was still a little unaccustomed to it.
"We can walk there ourselves."
I sat down next to the little girl and felt a little uncomfortable.
In the past, it was always the young girls who would find ways to take advantage of him, but now that it's my turn, I feel like I'm being a bit dishonest.
"Hey buddy, relax a bit, give these people a chance to make some money too!"
Zhu Zi was running hard ahead, the muscles and veins on his arms bulging. Hearing this, he grinned.
"Honorable guest, your sister is right. Let's give us poor people a chance to make money."
They had no skills, but they had a lot of strength, and they ran forward with all their might as if they were afraid of being disliked.
It's like the porters on Mount Tai. Some people say they work hard, but why don't tourists prepare enough food and drinks in advance before they go up the mountain? Why do they only buy water and food when they reach the top?
Anyone with a normal brain should come out and refute this; they also need to support their families.
So those who know, know. As for those fake saints and pushovers, there's no need to pay them any attention.
Mr. Hu, the owner of Xinglin Winery, happened to be here today. He has several jars of aged wine that he is delivering to the buyer today, so he came to supervise the loading.
About half an hour later, the rickshaw stopped in front of a well-established winery.
"Hey, you rickshaw driver, I'm talking to you! Get out of here! Don't stop in front of our distillery."
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyue and her group arrived at their destination, the pillar knocked down the handlebars, allowing the passengers to get off. They then heard the voices of the winery's staff urging them to leave.
Situ Ming glanced up at them, his cold, sharp eyes making the waiter tremble.
Zhao Xiaoyue's round face showed displeasure. "Don't you sell alcohol here?"
He gave Zhu Zi twenty yuan, saying, "Thank you, this is for the fare."
Seeing that the two people were dressed in excellent clothes, the waiter reluctantly went over to answer.
"Our boss is here today and very busy, so please come back another day."
It's not a tone of discussion; it's a declarative sentence.
This piqued Zhao Xiaoyue's curiosity. Hu Weijin was here too? This boss didn't come to the store easily.
"Are you hauling out aged wine today?"
"Oh, sir, how did you know? Are you perhaps a friend of the owner?"
It's no wonder the waiter thought that way; even Situ Ming glanced at Zhao Xiaoyue with curiosity.
"We're here to buy alcohol, Starry Night Intoxication."
At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came out of the distillery.
He exuded an air of refinement, like a schoolteacher from old Shanghai.
Hearing that someone was buying Starry Sky Wine, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the speaker and saw that it was a young girl. How did she know about Starry Sky Wine?
