A gust of wind blew and the scene in front of him changed. The ears of rice disappeared and were replaced by huge fruits hanging on the branches. It was as if he had arrived at an orchard. The red, yellow, and purple fruits were all gorgeous and had ripened to the perfect state. They hung on the branches with a satisfied appearance, waiting for people to pick them.
With a deep sniff, the fragrance of the fruits drilled into his body. It was as if his entire internal organs were dyed with the fragrance of the fruits. It was extremely intoxicating.
The clear and slightly soft texture carried the intoxicating fragrance of the fruits. When it reached his stomach, a trace of joy was revealed from the inside out. This was the first time Elder Chu experienced something that could make one feel joy from the bottom of one's heart.
At first, it wasn't very obvious. However, as mouthfuls of the wine entered his stomach, it became more obvious. It was as if the joy had slowly accumulated to a certain point before exploding. He couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt very relaxed and happy.
"Good wine!" Elder Chu couldn't help but exclaim.
Originally, drinking wine would cause one's blood to flow faster and cause one to be more excited than usual. This kind of spontaneous joy completely ignited this emotion, causing Elder Chu to loudly express the feelings in his heart without any taboo.
His voice was like breaking a certain barrier of a spell. The originally still scene instantly became lively and the sound of praises rang out incessantly.
It was as if no amount of praise would be enough. The people in the meeting really racked their brains to think of all the words of praise they had learned in their lives. Although many of them were the same, it couldn't hide their desire to praise.
Of course, there was only so much wine. Since everyone liked it, they could only rely on their own ability. The more powerful ones could grab two or three taels, while the slower ones could only hold on to one tael.
As a result, the originally elegant exchange could be said to have turned into a wet market. The sounds of haggling could be heard incessantly. It was as if those who had a bit of friendship with each other and were familiar with each other had become friendly just for the sake of drinking a mouthful of wine. Such a scene couldn't be seen anywhere else.
After all, many of the people present were big shots. They all cared about their reputation in the outside world, but here, how could there be an extra tael of wine? If there wasn't, then what was the point of having a reputation?
However, as time passed, the one and a half kilograms of wine, which was close to two kilograms, was finished no matter how they tried to save it. Not to mention that everyone was fighting fiercely for it, so they drank even faster. When the autumn wine was finished, it indicated that the wine exchange meeting was about to come to a perfect end.
As expected, Yuan Zhou appeared on the stage again and said something that made everyone very reluctant to part with him. "Thank you, everyone, for coming to this exchange meeting that I'm hosting. Brewing wine is something that requires long-term perseverance. I've just stepped onto this path. Brewing wine is just my hobby, but I also hope that I can do it well and improve with everyone. Thank you for coming."
Nowadays, Yuan Zhou could speak the official language fluently. He was totally different from the time when he needed to prepare the script at the beginning. Today, he was no longer the Yuan Zhou of yesterday.
Of course, if you ignored the blank piece of paper that Yuan Zhou wrote last night, it should be quite impressive.
Clap, clap, clap, clap.
Even if they were reluctant to part with it, it had to be said that everyone enjoyed it and tasted it to their heart's content. The ten wines each had their own characteristics, and they were all varieties that had never appeared before. Such an exchange meeting could be recorded in the annals of history. Let alone one person, if ten people could come together and hold such an exchange meeting, it would be a blessing.
The applause was thunderous. Everyone expressed their gratitude towards Yuan Zhou, as well as their complicated feelings of envy and jealousy, into the applause. It couldn't be helped. He had accomplished something that most people couldn't accomplish in their lifetime. Even a saint wouldn't be able to hold back their envy and jealousy.
Looking at the group of people below who were looking at him eagerly with flushed faces, Yuan Zhou felt that this wave should be stable. The Sea King mission was about to be completed.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered his new idea from yesterday. He wanted to verify whether his idea was correct before everyone surrounded him and arrived at the battlefield.
"System, check the progress of the side mission, I'm Not the Sea King," Yuan Zhou said to himself.
At such a crucial moment, the system never dropped the ball. As soon as Yuan Zhou's voice fell, the progress was immediately displayed. "5/20."
"As expected," Yuan Zhou said to himself.
When Liu Xi came to look for him yesterday, he only wanted to cooperate with him on the wine cups and wine pots. However, the wine cups were personally designed and produced by him. At that time, Yuan Zhou thought that this situation should count.
The mission only stated that he had to reject the invitations from 20 medium-sized and above wineries. There was no limit to the specific invitations. As long as they were medium-sized and were wineries, he could accept them. Of course, after some verification, Yuan Zhou's idea was indeed correct.
The five people who came to look for him yesterday afternoon all belonged to wineries. Although not all of them were looking for him to cooperate with them on the wine, it was a fact that they had invited him personally. Therefore, the progress of the mission was directly reduced to five.
"Today is the last day of the month. However, I can definitely complete the mission." Yuan Zhou looked at the configuration of nearly 100 people in the venue. As long as another 15 new people came, there would definitely be no problem.
Just as he was thinking about this, a group of at least a dozen people immediately surrounded Yuan Zhou after he stepped down from the rostrum.
They began to express their intentions. Some said that the wine cups were very good and wanted to cooperate with them. Others said that the Divine Wine was very good and wanted to cooperate with them. In any case, it was either the wine or the wine cups and wine pots. There were also those who were more overbearing and wanted to cooperate with the wine and wine pots. Of course, those who said that were usually big manufacturers.
As for why there were so many people who wanted to cooperate with the wine pots and wine cups, it was obvious from Liu Xi, who was squeezing through the crowd and trying to strike up a conversation.
In just one night, the news that the wine pots and wine cups were personally made by Yuan Zhou had spread to everyone who attended the exchange meeting. This guy was definitely a talent for publicity that had been delayed by the wineries.
If he were in a multi-level marketing organization, he would be the backbone of publicity. His brainwashing ability was top-notch. Just look at the top and second-in-command of the manufacturers who were scrambling to strike up a conversation with Yuan Zhou to cooperate with him.
Liu Xi's idea was also very simple. He needed someone to be the vanguard. Although Yuan Zhou had already refused his cooperation, he might become handsome in Yuan Zhou's eyes if more and more people recommended him. What if that was the case?
Nothing in the world was absolute. As long as one dared to think about it and put in the effort, one might be able to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Of course, Liu Xi would definitely keep such a secretive thought a secret. His plan was good, but he couldn't stop Yuan Zhou, who didn't play by the rules. Before he could figure out how to strike up a conversation with Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou had already refused everyone's proposal neatly and neatly.
His serious and resolute look was very much like that of the impartial Justice Bao. The only thing missing was a plaque that read "Mirror of Eminence" above his head.
Liu Xi was speechless.
Before he could even unleash his potential, he was forced to die in the womb. There was no one else who could do this.
Of course, this wave of people wasn't the end. Instead, it was the beginning. Those who came to the exchange meeting were all insightful and far-sighted. They could clearly see Yuan Zhou's potential and strength. Therefore, they were all people who could make decisions in their respective wineries.
Although Yuan Zhou had rejected a wave of people, they still came to seek cooperation from Yuan Zhou. What they thought was, "Just because you have been rejected doesn't mean I will be rejected. Who knows, I might be the lucky one."
Therefore, even though Yuan Zhou had rejected many people, there were still a lot of people who came to ask.
After a while, Yuan Zhou heard a voice saying, "Congratulations, host. You have completed the side task. Would you like to receive the reward now?"
