Primordial Cultivator - Chapter 405: Vintner, Zhou Liang
Yang Wei and Jing Feng only needed to wait for 10 minutes before a freshly cooked breakfast dish arrived at their table.
When Jing Feng saw the dishes, she frowned a bit.
“What is this?” She asked the waiter who delivered the breakfast to them.
“The caviar here is obviously a bad quality one and you want us to eat it?”
“Miss, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Our inn always serves the best quality.” The waiter said calmly, clearly thinking Jing Feng was ignorant, and tried to deny the bill.
Jing Feng snorted coldly when she saw the waiter’s attitude.
“Do you believe or not that I will thrash this inn?” She threatened in an angry tone. This was Yang Wei’s first time treating her breakfast, and they were about to be scammed by the inn.
How could she not be enraged?
A woman’s first time in anything with her beloved was always important. There was no way she would allow such audacity to pass.
Meanwhile, the waiter sweated profusely when he saw the aura Jing Feng was exuding and realized she wasn’t joking.
With just a bit of her aura affecting him, the waiter understood she must be a powerhouse and there was no way she would create a ruckus to smear their reputation.
“I-I’ll head back to the kitchen and enquire for more information,” The waiter hastily said and ran toward the kitchen. He didn’t dare to grab the caviar from Jing Feng to avoid any misunderstandings of him trying to destroy the evidence.
The moment the waiter left their table, Yang Wei asked, “Is there something wrong with the caviar? Should I have ordered something else?”
He was poor and had never tried caviar in his life. Hence, he couldn’t identify bad caviar and good caviar.
Jing Feng sighed softly as she understood his background. “This caviar is from the lowest breed and to serve those to us, it meant that they treated you like a country bumpkin.”
When she said that, there was a cold glint in her eyes. She could care less about the quality of the caviar, but insulting his man was a different story.
To dare to serve such low-quality food to his man was equivalent to slapping her face. If she could still endure such matters, then she might as well stay back at the Phoenix Kingdom and not come back to the Central Zone at all.
Yang Wei was also feeling warm in his heart when he realized she was angered by their treatment of him. As for the food, she didn’t even bat an eyelid.
He shamelessly moved closer to Jing Feng and wrapped his arm around her waist.
“I’m going to be spoiled to death by you sooner or later.” Yang Wei whispered sweetly into her ear, hoping to calm her anger.
He did not wish for her to have any wrinkles because of him. That was a sin and he could not bear to handle such a sin.
Jing Feng naturally calmed her anger down a bit when she heard the sweet whisper from Yang Wei. She leaned her head closer to his shoulder, but silently, she would definitely burn the entire inn down if they didn’t give a good explanation.
A few minutes later, the waiter nervously came back with a new caviar tin can in his hand.
He slowly placed the new caviar tin can down on the table and said, “Our chef had made a mistake previously, so we won’t be charging you for the breakfast. This new quality caviar is a gift from our inn as an apology for our mistake.”
While saying that, fear was embedded in his eyes when he glanced at Jing Feng. After going through some background checks on her identity, he and the workers in the inn were frightened to death.
He had personally gone through some documents to do a background check that matched up with Jing Feng’s appearance just to make sure.
After all, to be able to determine the quality of caviar with a single glance meant that the person was either an expert or someone who tasted such an expensive delicacy daily. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to detect the quality so quickly without checking thoroughly.
And when he realized the result, he was extremely scared and wished someone else would replace him to apologize to Jing Feng.
Jing Feng ignored the apologies coming from the waiter as she made a single glance at Yang Wei. Her intention was extremely obvious for the waiter to understand her meaning.
She was not the one that he needed to ask for forgiveness from, but the person with her, Yang Wei.
The waiter turned toward Yang Wei and said, “Sir, our inn is extremely apologetic for our negligence that causes you some displeasure. We would offer some of our precious wine to you as a gift for you.”
“Wine?” Yang Wei raised an eyebrow. “We are just having breakfast right now and you want to give us some wine? What kind of action are you trying to pull?”
Naturally, Yang Wei wasn’t really displeased, but seeing how much Jing Feng cared about this, he needed to put up a show.
The waiter was obviously stumped by Yang Wei’s sudden change of demeanor. He knew that Yang Wei was purposely being difficult, but what could he do?
They tried to scam him due to his ignorance and naive appearance. Now karma has struck them back, and they must suffer a huge loss to pacify them. Otherwise, they could forget about opening their inn the next day.
Even though no one would actively start a fight in the City of Love, that does not mean the other party does not have other ways to ruin them.
Putting Jing Feng’s identity on the table, the waiter gritted his teeth and smiled bitterly, “We will offer one of our precious wines that had been kept in our wine cellar for 147 years.”
When he uttered those words, the waiter felt like he was being stabbed by a cold dagger. After all, it would be free for Yang Wei and Jing Feng to accept the 145 years old wine, but for him? It was coming out of his own pocket since he was blamed for this mistake.
Though he wasn’t the one that initiated giving such poor quality caviar to Yang Wei, he had no other choice but to take the blame considering his low status.
Meanwhile, Yang Wei kept silent but would occasionally glance at Jing Feng, clearly asking her for approval.
Jing Feng nodded her head slowly.
.
Seeing that, Yang Wei agreed to his suggestion and waved his hand. “Alright then, wrap the wine properly and put it on the table. I’m going to enjoy breakfast with my lover now, so you can go and serve other customers.”
The waiter managed to flash a smile as he nodded his head. “I’ll be back later on then. I won’t bother with your meal.”
And with that, he staggeringly left the table and wished to curse the living hell out of his superior.
145 years old wine, the price of that was equivalent to his salary of the last 4 years. Not to mention, the wines were not those concocted by commoners and mortals, but something concocted by experienced vintners who are also powerful cultivators themselves.
Drinking one of the wines that they had made was not only extremely fruitful and delicious, but they would also gain a huge leap in their cultivation base due to the concentrated amount of spiritual qi used to make the wine.
“Jing Feng, is the wine that the waiter offers really amazing?” Yang Wei finally asked her when he noticed the presence of the waiter was no longer to be seen.
“Of course, if I remember correctly, the wines that this inn has were provided by a famous vintner, Zhou Liang.” Jing Feng explained.
And she continued, “Zhou Liang is a respectable figure among the Central Zone and his strength was around the 5th stage of the Houtian Realm.”
Yang Wei was in disbelief when a vintner would have such a high cultivation base. If the vintner were to appear in the Phoenix Kingdom, then he could possibly become an emperor himself.
Looking at his dazed expression, Jing Feng giggled as she obviously knew what he was thinking about. “Yang Wei, a vintner like Zhou Liang, is only interested in wine. Unless you are someone renowned or someone who understands wines, then Zhou Liang would never bother meeting with you.”
“Does that mean you are someone who Zhou Liang would meet with?” Yang Wei suddenly asked, causing Jing Feng to be slightly surprised by his inquiry.
She smiled briefly and nodded her head. It wasn’t a secret once Yang Wei broadened his vision in the Central Zone, so she answered truthfully.
“Indeed, if I was to request a meeting with Zhou Liang, then he would definitely drop all of his winery work and meet with me without hesitation. Why else did you think that waiter was scared shitless when he glanced at me?”
