"You... are spouting nonsense!"
Seeing the crowd discussing fervently, cold sweat trickles down manager Wu's forehead. He grits his teeth and bellows.
He can't admit to it now. The moment he does, not only will Hongtian Pavilion's reputation be ruined, even his future will be ruined!
If he knew that his teacher was a gourmet, he would never have agreed to Shang Bin's request!
"You said that I am spouting nonsense?" Zhang Xuan looks at him.
"That's right. You said that my dishes are fake, but do you have evidence? Without evidence, you are just spouting nonsense. Do you believe that I will arrest you for slander right now?" Manager Wu's expression is savage.
"Evidence? You want evidence? Alright then! "
Seeing how this fellow refuses to give up until the very end, Zhang Xuan shakes his head.
Initially, he didn't intend to interfere in this matter. In any case, Shen Bi Ru is the one paying for it, so it doesn't matter to him how much it is. Who knew that this fellow would insist on finding trouble with him, accusing him of slander? Since that's the case, he can't let him off so easily.
"I have already stated the evidence for the dishes just now. Everyone can examine them according to the characteristics that I have described! Of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't admit to it. After all, even if they know about it, some gourmet would find it difficult to identify it, needless to say, everyone! However... "
Zhang Xuan scans the surroundings and casually picks up the most expensive bottle of wine on the table. "Everyone can easily identify this bottle of wine!"
"Identify? Hongtian Pavilion is the designated tavern for [Drunken Immortal]! This is a fact that everyone knows. Many people come here for this wine. Are you saying that this wine is fake as well? "
A customer couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, Drunken Immortal is the signature wine of Hongtian Pavilion. It can't be fake, right? If all of this is fake, then there is probably nothing else that is real! "
Another customer says.
The wine that Zhang Xuan and the others served previously is called Drunken Immortal. It is sold only in Hongtian Pavilion. The aroma of the wine is rich and fragrant! The reason why Hongtian Pavilion is able to achieve its current scale and reputation is due to this wine!
If all of this wine is fake... That is too much!
"I have already said that it is easy to identify!"
Zhang Xuan seemed to know that the crowd would question him like this. He smiled lightly and raised the wine bottle. "The words' Drunken Immortal 'are written on the bottle. Logically speaking, if it's really the Drunken Immortal from Hundred Wells Workshop, it's indeed worth 1200 gold coins!"
"It's a pity that this is just a bottle, but it contains the Green Rock Wine of the Purple Bamboo House. These two wines are somewhat similar in smell and taste, but the former is brewed with the most precious Earth-Root Grass and Green Leaf Cicada Heart. After drinking it, it's not only harmless to people, but also beneficial. As for this Bluestone Wine, if one drinks too much of it, the poison of the Fallen Flower Grass will invade one's heart and lungs. Over time, it will destroy the functions of one's internal organs, causing one's cultivation to plummet. It will be a life worse than death! "
"Using Green Rock Wine to disguise the Immortal Intoxication?"
"I've heard of this Green Rock Wine before. It seems to taste similar to Drunken Immortal!"
"I have always believed in the quality of Hongtian Pavilion. To think that they would fool their customers like this!"
"This is simply a scam. I must report this matter to the academy and let them investigate it properly!"
…
When the surrounding customers heard that they had been cheated, they all shouted angrily.
"Do you think that it's Green Rock Wine just because you say so? Where's your proof? "Manager Wu harrumphed.
Glancing at him, Zhang Xuan said calmly, "Wine can be ignited. I haven't drunk much of the wine in this bottle yet, so you can ignite it. The true Drunken Immortal will release an intoxicating fragrance reminiscent of orchids and musk! On the other hand, the Green Rock Wine will release a charred stench. Anyone with a nose will be able to smell it! "
"You …"
Manager Wu's body froze.
The other party's words weren't wrong at all. However, very few people knew of this method of identification. Only the few brewers of the Green Rock Wine and those who sold it knew of it. He had only heard of it by chance, so how could this fellow know of it?
Actually, the wine served to the other customers was the Drunken Immortal. After all, this was the signature wine of their tavern. After hearing Shang Bin's plan, he intentionally made a fake wine for this young man, thinking that he wouldn't be able to recognize it. Thus, he decided to fool him and earn more money. Yet, not only did the other party know so much about it, he even knew the method to identify it!
Now, even if he were to explain that everyone was drinking the Drunken Immortal, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly!
"Why? You don't dare to give it a try? "
Seeing the other party's nervousness, Zhang Xuan chuckled. He flipped the wine bottle in his hand, causing the wine to splash onto the floor. Then, he took out a match and flicked it lightly.
Xiong xiong!
The wine on the floor ignited upon contact with the fire. A pungent smell immediately assaulted everyone's nostrils, causing them to feel dizzy.
"How smelly! This is what we were drinking just now? "
"Hongtian Pavilion really doesn't respect its customers at all!"
"Given how smelly it is, it must be poisonous to drink it …"
"Refund my money! Refund my money! I have been drinking here for three years. Not only do you have to refund my money, you have to compensate me as well!"
…
The entire tavern burst into an uproar.
Everyone rushed forward.
"This … What is going on?"
Cao Xiong and Shang Bin were on the verge of going insane.
They had specially set up a trap to frame Zhang Xuan and embarrass him. Yet, not only did this fellow not embarrass himself, he even stole the limelight!
Instead, they had become clowns, a disgrace!
"What is going on … What is going on your head!"
Upon hearing those words, manager Wu nearly exploded on the spot. He raised his leg and kicked the other party.
Peng! Peng!
He is a Fighter 6-dan Pixue realm expert. Before the two of them could react, their vision turned dark and they fell to the ground, leaving behind a huge footprint on their faces.
It was no wonder why manager Wu went berserk. If not for these two fellows, such a situation wouldn't have happened!
It could be foreseen that not only would his career be over, he would also face the wrath of Elder Hong Hao!
After this incident, the reputation of Hongtian Pavilion would definitely plummet and they would never be able to regain their past business.
The cause of this incident was because he had promised these two fellows to teach a fellow who was the last in the Teacher Qualification Examination a lesson!
How could this fellow be the last? Even the first place isn't as impressive as him!
If only he had known that this lad had such an incredible eye of discernment, it would have been a blessing if he didn't find trouble with him!
Damn it!
"Looks like no one is going to take our money. Let's go!"
Seeing the commotion, Zhang Xuan beckoned to the dazed Shen Bi Ru and led the way out.
Since the matter was settled, staying here would only bring them trouble. Thus, it was better for them to leave.
"Un!"
Shen Bi Ru hurriedly followed behind. Looking at the young man striding forward, a complicated expression appeared on her face.
In the past, she had always thought that the other party was a trash who didn't know anything and was a disgrace to the world of teachers!
After interacting with him for half a day, she realized that … If he is a trash, what is she?
Doesn't that mean that she is nothing?
Gritting her teeth, she walked forward. Disbelief could be seen in her black eyes, "You are so knowledgeable in gourmet food. Could it be that … you are a gourmet?"
