Xu Huizhen's shout only pushed Zheng Ya into the eye of the storm.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of the tavern staff and Cheng Xueru.
Fortunately, it was around five o'clock, and the tavern hadn't yet received any customers, otherwise Zheng Ya would have been roasted over a fire.
Zheng Ya parked the car, took a jar of wine from the door handle, and walked into the tavern carrying the jar, saying, "Madam, your way of treating guests is quite thoughtful. I've learned a lot."
"Haha, you've come to steal my sister, how can I be polite to you?" Xu Huizhen retorted irritably. This little man has a sharp tongue!
Every word and action of Zheng Ya shocked Cheng Xueru to the core. Before she could recover, she heard Zheng Ya pick up the wine jar and say, "A century-old vintage is offered as a token of my respect. I hope the proprietress will be lenient?"
"Haha, I don't believe you can produce a century-old vintage. Don't try to fool me. You think you can get my sister for this ten-pound jar of wine? That's too good for you. Don't even think about it!" Xu Huizhen was initially shocked. A century-old vintage is a good thing!
But take it with a grain of salt; the "century-old vintage" claim is just a gimmick and shouldn't be taken seriously.
It's important to understand that aged wines are not produced under normal conditions.
Whether aging wine involves sealing it, burying it in the ground, or storing it in a special basement, suitable prerequisites are required to ensure that the wine jars do not spoil into poison and are not easily broken and destroyed.
It takes another hundred years of fermentation to become a century-old vintage.
It involves many factors, making it almost impossible to preserve for a hundred years. Even if it were preserved for a hundred years, this wine would become poison.
Therefore, the claims of century-old vintage wines on the market and in people's mouths are just gimmicks and should not be taken seriously.
Moreover, the wine jar that Zheng Ya picked up did not look like it had been buried for a hundred years at first glance; it had only been buried for five or ten years at most.
Little did they know that Zheng Ya had taken the dozen or so jars of wine from the courtyard at No. 95 Zhengyangmen and put them into his special ability space. After being accelerated by time, the wine consumed 100 points each of his faithlessness and righteousness, and was transformed into a century-old vintage.
As for the qualitative change in the wine jar, it merely spurred a century-long qualitative change in the wine, indirectly affecting the qualitative change in the wine jar itself.
After all, the acceleration of time in the fermentation of wine does not fundamentally change the quality of the wine jar over a century.
This creates a visual misconception, making people think that the wine jar is just a bit older than usual.
Zheng Ya screwed the wine jar directly onto the counter, placed it properly, and lightly tapped the sealing paper on the jar's opening: "Snap."
The dark yellow sealing paper shattered at the slightest tap.
A refreshing aroma of wine wafted out from the sealed opening.
The aroma of the wine wafted into Xu Huizhen's nostrils, making her mouth water and her stomach rumble. She exclaimed in surprise to cover her embarrassment, "It smells so good! This wine really smells amazing!"
"My God, this is the most fragrant wine I've ever smelled in my life! What kind of wine smells so good?" Cheng Xueru was just dazed by the aroma of the wine and hurriedly ran to the counter.
The store employees all gathered around the counter, their mouths watering.
"Shasha!" Xu Huizhen reached out and grabbed the wine jar first, shouting, "What do you want to do?"
"This is a gift from my brother-in-law, move aside?"
"Huizhen, don't be stingy. Let me have a bite, just one bite?" Cheng Xueru wasn't going to put up with her and grabbed it directly.
The employees gathered to watch the play.
Zheng Ya seized the opportunity to slip away and followed Xu Qi into the backyard. Xu Qi called to Bao'er, "Bao'er, come here, should we go?"
"Mommy, where are we going?" Bao'er and Xu Jingli were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave, so she answered reluctantly and didn't even look at anyone.
Xu Jingli protested, "Auntie, please don't let Bao'er leave, okay? Let Bao'er play with me!"
"Wife, don't force Bao'er. Let her choose for herself. Does she want her mother to sleep with her, or does she want her sister to play with her?" Zheng Ya suggested with a smile, but her eyes had already found the sauerkraut jar in the backyard.
The pickled cabbage served in the tavern was exceptional, far more famous than the liquor it sold, and was the main reason for attracting customers.
It is said that the stone pressing down on the sauerkraut contains a piece of top-quality jade.
The preciousness of the top-grade jade did not arouse Zheng Ya's interest; he only wanted to see it for himself, and naturally, he also had the idea of ​​processing the jade.
After all, Zheng Ya had already decided to try creating all sorts of items in the supernatural space to temper the strength of his soul and will, and to hone his skills in precise control.
This is the only way to develop supernatural abilities and magical powers.
Supernatural abilities and magical arts rely entirely on individual development.
Even if one is born into a noble family on the Qian Yuan Continent, one can only develop one's own supernatural abilities and spiritual techniques.
Although these individuals possess family-supplied templates for supernatural abilities, which serve as the foundation for developing and practicing these abilities, giving them a certain advantage, the creation of supernatural abilities ultimately depends on their independent efforts.
This forced Zheng Ya to embark on a journey to temper his soul and will.
Xu Qi, worried that Zheng Ya wouldn't accept Bao'er, frowned slightly and asked, "Don't you like Bao'er?"
"Nonsense, do you think a grandmaster like me can't support a daughter?"
And I have some good news for you.
Three days later, I will take you and Bao'er to a state banquet, where we will become disciples of Doctor Sun. I will also ask my master to ask his friends to help find Bao'er's relatives.
But don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike Bao'er.
"I just feel that Bao'er has the right and the obligation to know about her own background and family, and this is also a sign of respect for soldiers." Zheng Ya explained carefully, afraid that she might misunderstand.
Bao'er's father participated in the Korean War the year she was born; he was a company commander when he left.
My wife, who was pregnant, somehow got targeted by enemy agents.
It's understandable, really. Enemy agents hate soldiers the most, believing that soldiers cause them to fail, so they target soldiers' families.
Using any means necessary is the principle of enemy agents in their sabotage operations.
Bao'er was unfortunate to encounter enemy agents who took her mother's life, but she was also fortunate to meet Xu Qi and survive.
Xu Qi also tried to find Bao'er's relatives, but unfortunately, she knew too few people and couldn't inquire about matters involving the military, so she still hasn't found Bao'er's father.
After learning about Bao'er's background, Zheng Ya took notice of her. While becoming her apprentice and expanding his network, he also helped Bao'er find her relatives.
Xu Qi then felt relieved and said, "Thank you, Bao'er. If you're not leaving, then Mommy is leaving."
"Hehe, Mommy, you can go now. I want to play with Sister Jingli, I don't want to stay with you, Mommy!" Is Bao'er getting bored with her old friend?
Children can only communicate with each other, right?
This left Xu Qi both amused and exasperated. Her little darling was being disobedient. Zheng Ya laughed and said, "Let her stay here."
"Let's go to Quanjude for Peking duck together, we won't wait for her..."
"Ah, I want to eat roast duck too! Wait for me!" Bao'er immediately changed her tune and ran over to ask for a hug.
Xu Qi walked away with a look of disgust. Zheng Ya squatted down, opened his arms, and said, "Baby, call me Daddy, and I'll take you to eat roast duck, okay?"
"Ah, Daddy, are you really my daddy?" Bao'er wasn't shy at all. It seemed that she had become familiar with Zheng Ya after meeting him once yesterday, and she immediately threw herself into Zheng Ya's arms and snuggled up to him.
This made Xu Qi very jealous: "You little traitor, you little foodie, you've completely forgotten about your sister Jingli. Who taught you to be so mercenary?"
