Chapter Thirty-Five: Going to Zhao’s House to Watch a Joke

"Han Yuyang."

"This is my name. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will repay you the sixty taels of silver and the kindness of helping you."

The man was moved by Jiang Chen's sincerity and took the initiative to tell him his name.

After clasping fists and saying goodbye, Han Yuyang turned around again and asked Jiang Chen a question out of curiosity.

"How did you know that I entered your house, and how did you tell that I hadn't gone far yet?"

Jiang Chen replied: "It's simple. I am very concerned about the furnishings in the room. Even if the angle is slightly moved, even if there is a slight change in the opening and closing position of the box, I can detect it."

"As for knowing that you didn't go far, it's because my Wu Yue came here before. You must have just succeeded at that time. Since you didn't want to hurt anyone, you had to hide temporarily and wanted to wait until she left before you could escape."

"But what you didn't expect was that as soon as Yue'er walked away with my front feet, I returned home with my rear feet. It was then that you walked under the backyard wall, right?"

Han Yuyang nodded, it was indeed exactly the same as Jiang Chen's guess.

"Brother, with your keen insight and amazing skills, it is hard for me to believe that you are just an ordinary scholar who is content with the status quo? Take my advice, this kind of small mountain town is not suitable for you."

"I don't usually talk that much. I just don't want to see talents like you buried in a corner where no one cares."

Jiang Chen replied: "Thank you, Brother Han. Please take care of yourself along the way. We will meet again sooner or later!"

Early the next morning, Gu Jun hurried to Jiang Chen's house.

Seeing Jiang Chen engrossed in eating a table of dishes, he asked in confusion: "What's going on? What day is today?"

For people in the mountains, a family of three usually only has two or three dishes on the dining table on the mountain. It is indeed quite rare for someone like Jiang Chen, who is clearly alone, to fill the table with seven or eight dishes.

Gu Jun thought today was Jiang Chen's birthday, so he asked this question.

"Wu Yue sent them all yesterday. I was busy catching thieves, so I didn't bother to eat them."

As soon as Jiang Chen explained this, Gu Jun immediately became excited.

"What kind of audacious little thief he is? He dares to steal into your house. Wait until he comes next time and see if I don't destroy both of his legs!"

Gu Jun was furious and vowed to help Jiang Chen catch the thief, which made Jiang Chen not know what to say.

If he told Gu Jun that after he caught the thief, he took the initiative to give him fifty taels of silver, then this guy would probably go crazy on the spot.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Did you gain anything from your visit to Zhao's winery last night?"

So Gu Jun told Jiang Chen that the Zhao family winery was brightly lit at night, and the guys were busy loading the brewed wine into jars. At least there were thousands of jars at a rough count.

Judging from that posture, they will soon bring these wines to the market, which will have a big impact on Jiang Yuebai.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Chen heard these words, he was not anxious at all. He enthusiastically invited Gu Jun to sit down and have breakfast with him, and then mentioned that he planned to go to Zhaojia Winery in person today.

"Ah? Are you going?"

After having breakfast, Jiang Chen and Gu Jun went straight to the Zhao Family Winery.

Gu Jun sighed and said: "Why do you always like to run to dangerous places? Zhao He is narrow-minded and regards you as a thorn in his side. The danger level of entering the Zhao family winery is no less than that of Hutoushan!"

"Don't worry, Zhao He will definitely greet me with a smile today, and he will keep trying to please me. Even if I slap him, he will still smile."

Gu Jun wondered in his heart: "Is it possible that Zhao He was possessed by evil spirits today and could do such a thing?"

At the same time, there was a dead silence in the Zhao family winery.

After working all night last night, the guys were so tired that their eyelids were fighting, but they still had to stand upright and be scolded by Zhao He.

"waste!"

"You are all trash!"

The richest local businessman's face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he almost lost his voice from shouting.

The housekeeper cowered aside and did not dare to say a word. The master's temper had become worse and worse recently, and he would often shout at them and spit at them.

For this reason, the life of servants like them is not easy. It all started with the deterioration of the business of the Zhao family winery. The reason is naturally because of Jiang Yuebai's sudden appearance, which made the signature wine Er Dao Chun which was originally selling well.

No sales.

In the past half month or so, the winery has been busy brewing a new wine. Only a few people know that it is the Jiangyuebai formula that the master obtained from others.

It was fine at first. The smell and taste of the original brew were similar to Jiang Yuebai, so Zhao He boldly let them brew it on a large scale. However, he did not expect that following the steps in the secret recipe, the brew was finally brewed.

The finished product tastes like swill and is terrible to drink!

When inspecting the goods this morning, Zhao He turned pale with fright. In order to quickly seize the market, he suppressed Jiang Yuebai. This time, he spent almost all his cash on the production of this batch of wine.

Just to monopolize the brewing materials, it cost him a full five thousand taels of silver, not counting other costs.

Now Zhao He had to face the fact that the 1,353 jars of wine placed in front of him were all garbage and it was impossible to sell them.

If these wines cannot be cashed in, then Zhao He will not even have the money on hand to maintain the basic operations of the Zhao family winery. This is the biggest failure he has ever encountered since he started business.

Seeing that Zhao He didn't say anything for a long time, the housekeeper took the courage to say: "Sir, we recommend these wines to those regular customers. They should be able to sell them for face, right?"

"The taste of these wines is worse than horse urine. Do you think they are as stupid as you? Bastard!"

Zhao He had nowhere to vent his worries, so he directly kicked the housekeeper, causing the latter to scream in pain.

At this moment, a servant came from outside and said, "Sir, a guest is here."

"See no one, send me back!"

The servant hesitated for a moment and then said: "The young master said that he has a way to solve the master's urgent need."

"Huh? Who is he?" Zhao He asked in surprise.

"He said his name is Jiang Chen, and he made a special trip to see the master for a drink today."

Upon hearing this, Zhao He's face became even more ugly, "Looking for a drink with me? That guy came to laugh at me, couldn't you tell?"

"Kick him out with a stick! No, I'll go see him myself!"

Zhao He changed his mind, and a moment later he appeared in front of Jiang Chen and Gu Jun with a group of men.

"Fake formula? It's a good trick to lure me in, right? Jiang Chen!"
