Chapter 58 The King of Thieves
The No. 1 Winery in the World.
"Brother Gu, this is the wine cellar of the number one manor in the world. It's also the place I came to on my first day."
I used to think the wine here was pretty good, but compared to the wine you brew, it's simply not worth mentioning.
Zhang Jinjiu shook his head repeatedly, expressing his disdain for the place.
Gu Qianbei's gaze swept around, thinking to himself, "System, is there any wine here that meets Cang Guanghu's requirements?"
"The minimum requirement for Cangguanghu is fine wine. Most of the wines here are ordinary wines that have gained some flavor with the passage of time, but they are not worth mentioning."
Only the autumn dew from that place can be considered a fine wine, truly unique.
Following the system's instructions, Gu Qianbei quickly found Qiu Lubai.
"Brother Gu has a good eye! This Autumn Dew White is the best wine in this cellar!"
The owner granted me special permission to take all the fine wines in the cellar, so I drank most of them after I arrived, and now there's not much left.
Zhang Jinjiu said with a smile.
Originally, there were several jars of Qiu Lu Bai (a type of liquor), but now only two small jars remain, all of which he drank.
"This wine is quite good, worth trying. Brother Zhang, how about we have some?"
"OK!"
The two men carried two jars of Autumn Dew White wine, and asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes to accompany the wine, and then they began to drink.
As the autumn dew turned white, Gu Qianbei frowned slightly.
This wine is indeed good, but it seems to be slightly inferior to the Dragon Tiger Wine I brew myself.
Even so, it is still the best wine from the number one winery in the world.
It seems that my brewing skills are indeed unmatched in this world.
"Brother Gu, you think this wine is just so-so? No wonder! Your Sunflower Sunflower Brew is much better than this wine."
Of all the wines I've ever drunk in my life, only the Daughter's Red wine left behind by the greatest wine god in the world can surpass your Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew.
Unfortunately, I was only fortunate enough to drink one bottle of that fine wine.
"If the owner hadn't promised to help me find the Daughter's Red Wine of the Goddess of Wine, I probably wouldn't have joined the Number One Winery in the World."
Zhang Jin took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said...
Comparing prices will lead to losses.
"Bacchus's Daughter's Red? What's that?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
"Decades ago, a master brewer appeared in the world and was recognized as the number one wine god in the world."
This man brewed countless wines, all of which were rare and exquisite.
His masterpiece was a jar of Daughter's Red wine.
Dionysus drank half a jar himself, and divided the remaining half into eight bottles, which he hid in different places.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle once, and wow, the taste was simply unforgettable.
Zhang Jinjiu had a look of reminiscence on his face, which showed how deeply that bottle of Daughter's Red wine impressed him.
"There's still such a wine in the world; I'd like to try it sometime."
"Brother Gu, don't worry, once the Master of the Manor really finds this Daughter's Red wine, I will definitely share a cup with you."
Because I believe you will brew a wine even better than that Daughter's Red.
Zhang Jinjiu had complete confidence in Gu Qianbei.
This confidence naturally comes from the previous Sunflower Brew.
To be able to brew such fine wine at such a young age, he is sure to reach even greater heights in the future.
"Brother Gu really thinks highly of me. But I won't let you down."
"Haha, I knew you were an ambitious man, Brother Gu!"
The two got along very well as they chatted, and Gu Qianbei didn't hold back, taking out some more Dragon Tiger Wine and Zhang Jin Wine to drink together.
After finishing his drink, Zhang Jin praised the wine again.
Before long, Zhang Jinjiu got drunk.
He has a high alcohol tolerance, but it would be a real shame not to fully immerse himself in the intoxication when faced with such fine wine.
Looking at Zhang Jinjiu, who had already passed out drunk, Gu Qianbei smiled slightly, and then put the remaining Qiu Lu Bai into Cang Guang Gourd.
In this way, the Cangguang Gourd now contains five kinds of fine wine, and its storage space has increased to five cubic meters.
"The increase in internal strength from this Autumn Dew White is less than that from the Dragon Tiger Wine, so it's not very useful to me now."
It seems that if you want to quickly increase your internal strength using the Nine Heavens Wine Transformation Technique, you still have to rely on brewing wine yourself.
The drinks outside are terrible.
Gu Qianbei thought she had found a shortcut, but now it seems that this shortcut is not easy to take.
At most, it will only increase the size of the storage space.
The words are divided into two parts.
Haitang adopted Gu Qianbei's suggestion and recruited the laziest person in the world. Before long, it attracted a large number of people who wanted to sign up to enter the number one manor in the world.
Of course, many of them are just looking to coast along, and further screening is needed to find truly capable individuals.
However, there is one person who is truly a talented individual.
The King of Thieves, Sikong Zhaixing!
Of course, he might be called the world's number one thief in the future.
When Gu Qianbei saw this king of thieves, he was also stunned for a moment.
It's unexpected that someone with such a high status in the world of thieves would join the number one gang in the world.
It seems they want to leverage the power of the number one manor in the world to cope with the pressure from the imperial court.
After all, the Six Doors (a government agency) has never given up on bringing him to justice.
"Brother Gu, this is the famous King of Thieves, Sikong Zhaixing. He heard that you are participating in the assessment for the world's number one brewer, and he is very interested in you. He insists on coming to see you."
Shangguan Haitang arrived with a beaming smile, clearly in a very good mood.
"So you're the world's greatest winemaker? You look really young. What good wines do you have? Lend me a couple of jugs to try."
Sikong Zhaixing was not polite at all and immediately asked for wine.
Gu Qianbei knew that this person was a drunkard like Lu Xiaofeng, so he was not surprised.
Upon hearing this, he simply laughed and said, "I originally had quite a lot of good wine, but your good friend Lu Xiaofeng drank most of it recently, so I suffered a heavy loss."
"Did Lu Xiaoji drink your wine?"
Sikong Zhaixing was taken aback at first, then came to her senses and exclaimed, "Could you be the Manager Gu of Qianchou Si in Qixia Town that Lu Xiaoji mentioned?"
"Oh? Lu Xiaofeng mentioned me to you?"
Gu Qianbei asked in surprise.
"Of course I mentioned it. That kid told me a while ago that he drank two kinds of wonderful wine in Qixia Town."
It really stirred up my thirst for alcohol.
When we arrived at Qixia Town, Qianchousi was not open.
Lu Xiaoji and I sneaked in, only to find that there was only Dragon Tiger Wine left inside; the rest were unfinished wines.
Lu Xiaoji didn't get to drink a single drop of the sunflower-inspired brew he had mentioned.
I never expected you to have joined the number one manor in the world. No wonder I couldn't find you.
Shopkeeper Gu, bring out that sunflower-flavored brew so I can taste it.
Otherwise, I'd be driven crazy by Lu Xiaoji's arrogance.
The Dragon Tiger Wine tasted so exquisite; this Sunflower Sun-Facing Brew must be even more divine.
Gu Qianbei was speechless upon hearing this.
"You mean, you and Lu Xiaofeng went to steal from my house again?"
"Um... well, hahaha... we left some money."
Sikong Zhaixing scratched his head awkwardly.
