"To be honest, this delicious wine is very expensive. However, despite its high price, it is still very attractive because it not only tastes good, but its quality and aroma are also excellent. Therefore, in the entire Qingcheng County, this wine is very expensive. Even the county magistrate's wife is reluctant to buy this delicious wine because its price is just too high."
"It's just a little drinking, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it?"
Gu Sang said with some surprise.
"No, it's not because of the price, but because the type of wine is extremely rare. Once it's available, it's very sought after. Everyone is attracted to this delicious wine. So, in Qingcheng County, many people come to buy this delicious wine every day. However, those who buy the wine are all wealthy people. They spend a lot of money to buy this delicious wine and keep it for themselves to enjoy slowly. However, there are restrictions on this delicious wine. They are not allowed to take it out. So, under these circumstances, you can only buy it once. If you want to buy it a second time, you must make a reservation well in advance."
"However, the cellar has plenty of stock. You can pick as many jars of fine wine as you want. If you want to buy more, I can recommend other wines that I guarantee will taste better than these and are very easy to handle. These are not problems at all."
Is that really the case?
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang asked.
"Of course that's how it is. You can try it if you don't believe me," the waiter said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang nodded, handed the wine jar to the waiter, and said, "Young man, could you please bring me my wine? Thank you."
Upon hearing this, the waiter responded several times, took the wine jar from Gu Sang, filled it, and then walked out of the wine cellar, handing the jar back to Gu Sang.
Here, the wine is for you.
Gu Sang took the wine jar, nodded, and said, "Brother, I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll be going now. Let's keep in touch sometime."
"Okay."
"Goodbye, sir. Take care."
The waiter waved to Gu Sang, who nodded, picked up the wine jar, and walked out of the wine cellar.
Having just left the wine cellar, Gu Sang held a wine jar in her hand, looked around, and then turned to the waiter beside her, smiling as she said, "Young man, what kind of wine is this? Is it alright? This is the first time I've ever heard of wine that's been called wine. Could you tell me what kind of wine this is?"
Upon hearing this, the waiter looked at Gu Sang with a smile and said, "This 'delicious wine,' our Qingcheng County only produces five kinds of wine. One is 'delicious wine,' and the other three are the king of delicious wines: Hundred Flowers Wine, Thousand Layer Wine, and Ten Thousand Flowers Wine. These four wines are respectively called 'delicious wine,' 'Hundred Flowers Wine,' 'Thousand Layer Wine,' and 'King of Delicious Wine.' Each wine has a very unique flavor, and the price of these four wines is not low. If you are rich, you can't even afford a meal with them. However, if you don't have the money to buy these wines, you can buy a jar of wine. One jar of wine is equivalent to your salary for a year. What do you think?"
The man spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang smiled, shook her head, and said, "Brother, I'm not interested in these kinds of wines. Don't talk to me about these things. You should continue with your work."
"Alright then, please make yourself at home. This way, please. We have a lot of fresh wines in our shop. If you'd like to try any kind of wine, we can recommend some to you so you can have a taste," the waiter said warmly.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Gu Sang said with a smile, carrying the wine and walking forward.
After walking less than three meters, Gu Sang suddenly heard the sound of a carriage speeding by.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang couldn't help but stop and carefully examine the carriage.
The carriage was very luxurious and beautiful, and the interior was exquisite. Four fine horses followed around the carriage, making it look very majestic. Gu Sang couldn't help but take a second look.
Just as Gu Sang was looking at the carriage, wanting to go up and see if there were any treasures inside, he suddenly saw the carriage stop. After the carriage stopped, two guards in armor immediately got off the carriage.
Seeing this, Gu Sang raised an eyebrow and thought to herself, "What's going on? Why are there two more guards? Are they going to rob us again? It seems that Qingcheng County is becoming more and more unsafe."
Just as Gu Sang was about to turn and leave, she heard a man's rough voice enter her ears.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Gu Sang looked in the direction of the sound and saw two guards riding tall horses, wearing armor and with swords at their waists, driving a carriage. There were more than a dozen strong men standing outside the carriage.
The dozen or so burly men, armed with weapons, looked like bandits and outlaws.
Upon seeing the carriage, the burly men swarmed around it and surrounded it completely.
The middle-aged man on horseback reached out and grabbed the reins, saying, "You bunch of country bumpkins, can't you see I'm here?"
The middle-aged man on horseback spoke.
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Gu Sang couldn't help but frown.
Although Gu Sang is not a busybody, he will not stand idly by if someone he cares about is bullied.
Gu Sang looked up at the carriage not far away and asked the man inside, "Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you robbing people on the road? Isn't this world supposed to be governed by law? Why are you doing something that violates the rules?"
"Heh, what do you know, little brat? What is law? In this world, power is law. It's one thing for you country bumpkins not to know this, but you dare to ask me what I do? You're asking for trouble." The middle-aged man on horseback sneered and looked at Gu Sang.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Gu Sang asked, frowning.
"What are you doing? We're robbing you, of course! Didn't you hear me clearly? This is a legitimate robbery. You'd better not meddle, or don't blame us for being ruthless and killing you without mercy," the middle-aged man said with a sneer.
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang's expression darkened.
