Chapter 550: Chief Winemaker and Xu Chu’s Revenge Plan

"Quick, open it and taste it."

Jiu Shu eagerly leaned forward.

Xu Chu opened the wine jar, and various floral scents wafted out. This was one of the characteristics of Hundred Flowers Brew; because it was brewed with many spirit flowers, it also carried their fragrance.

"It is indeed Hundred Flowers Brew," Shopkeeper Qiu affirmed, and Jiu Shu, standing by, also nodded. They were all too familiar with this scent.

Xu Chu poured the Hundred Flowers Brew from the wine jar into a wine pot, and then from the wine pot into wine cups.

By this time, the aroma of the Hundred Flowers Brew had already spread throughout the entire courtyard.

Shopkeeper Qiu and Jiu Shu each picked up a cup and brought it close to their noses, sniffing carefully.

"No, this aroma is richer than the Hundred Flowers Brew, and the wine's own fragrance hasn't been masked," Shopkeeper Qiu said with a look of surprise.

"Most importantly, I seem to smell different floral scents!!!"

Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Xu Chu in astonishment, his expression somewhat complex, with both surprise and admiration in his eyes.

"I added Moon Pavilion Flowers to it," Xu Chu replied.

Although they had already guessed, receiving his confirmation still left Shopkeeper Qiu and Jiu Shu stunned.

They never expected that Xu Chu not only brewed the wine but also dared to boldly make modifications. This courage and confidence in his own abilities were truly remarkable.

Jiu Shu was already impatient and began to drink directly.

Still, as before, he did not gulp it down in one go but sipped it little by little, savoring it carefully.

Shopkeeper Qiu did the same.

Although the wine was still Hundred Flowers Brew, since the brewer was different, the taste would inevitably have a slight difference.

Jiu Shu's expression changed very clearly: at first, he frowned slightly, then his brows slowly relaxed, and finally, he looked relieved.

He frowned initially because he hadn't yet emerged from the delicious Dream Returning Spirit Wine and was unaccustomed to a slightly inferior spirit wine.

Then he tasted a different Hundred Flowers Brew, which could even be directly called a better Hundred Flowers Brew, and this made him feel relieved.

Shopkeeper Qiu did not have as many emotional changes; his face showed only joy, and his eyes held affirmation for Xu Chu.

"Xu Brother not only brought out the original characteristics of Hundred Flowers Brew but also improved upon it, making it even better. You are truly a Great Master in brewing!"

"Welcome, Xu Brother, to serve as a brewer at my Wangyue Restaurant."

Shopkeeper Qiu praised Xu Chu without reservation.

Xu Chu waved his hands repeatedly.

"Shopkeeper Qiu, you flatter me. I merely followed the wine recipe step by step and made a small modification at the end. How can I be called a Great Master?"

Jiu Shu poured wine while saying, "Xu Brother is good in every way, except for one thing: he is too modest."

Shopkeeper Qiu nodded in strong agreement.

Xu Chu was accustomed to being low-key; no matter how others praised him, he would not admit it.

Jiu Shu then said, "How about it? With Xu Brother's brewing ability, he can completely take on the role of Wangyue Restaurant's brewer, right?"

"Of course he can. In fact, in another ten years or so, he can even compete for the position of Wangyue Restaurant's Chief Brewer in our Wangyue Restaurant's fifty-year brewer assessment," Shopkeeper Qiu said.

Xu Chu asked curiously, "What is the Wangyue Restaurant brewer assessment?"

Shopkeeper Qiu put down his wine cup and patiently explained.

"You are already considered a brewer for our Qing Province Wangyue Restaurant, and you will know about these things sooner or later. It's a good time for me to tell you now."

"Our Wangyue Restaurant has nearly a hundred brewers in total. Each of them usually resides in a slightly larger continent, responsible for brewing all the spirit wines for the ten surrounding continents."

"You are now a brewer for Qing Province Wangyue Restaurant. The spirit wines for Qing Province and the nine surrounding continents' Wangyue Restaurant branches will all be brewed by you."

The Tian Yuan World has thousands of continents, and each continent has many cities with many Wangyue Restaurant branches, so the amount of spirit wine needed daily is an astonishing number.

Three to five brewers simply cannot produce so much spirit wine, which is why Wangyue Restaurant has nearly a hundred brewers, with each person responsible for brewing spirit wines for the Wangyue Restaurant branches in ten continents.

"In addition, our Wangyue Restaurant holds a brewer assessment every fifty years. Based on the assessment results, brewers are assigned to their permanent continents. Simply put, the stronger one's ability, the better the place they go."

Among the thousands of continents in the Tian Yuan World, there are vast differences. Everyone wants to go to places that are rich in resources, prosperous, and lively.

Just like Cang Continent in the past, it was completely a backwater. Wangyue Restaurant didn't even open branches in such overly poor and remote continents.

Xu Chu then asked, "What does Chief Brewer mean?"

Shopkeeper Qiu continued, "Wangyue Restaurant has a Chief Brewer position, responsible for managing all of Wangyue Restaurant's brewers. All spirit wine-related business also falls under the Chief Brewer's management, possessing numerous rights and an extremely high status."

"After the assessment is completed, the top three performers can also choose to challenge the Chief Brewer. If successful, they can take over the position."

Xu Chu's expression was calm, but his heart was already stirring.

When he first thought of coming to Wangyue Restaurant, his purpose, besides gaining experience, was to avenge the Xu Family.

At that time, he had a simple plan: to infiltrate the management, brew a poisonous wine, and poison as many high-ranking officials and experts of Wangyue Restaurant as possible.

Failing that, he would brew some spirit wines with side effects to ruin Wangyue Restaurant's reputation.

He had originally thought this plan would be difficult to implement, but he never expected Wangyue Restaurant to have assessment and Chief Brewer rules.

Since that's the case, if he could become the Chief Brewer, wouldn't he be able to wipe out the high-ranking officials of Wangyue Restaurant under the guise of tasting new wines!!!

Thinking of this, Xu Chu couldn't even suppress the agitation in his heart.

As one of the twelve major enemies, if Wangyue Restaurant could be severely damaged in this way, it would be a contribution to the Xu Family's great revenge plan!!!

Jiu Shu patted Xu Chu's shoulder and affirmed, "I believe in you, Xu Brother. It's only a matter of time before you become the Chief Brewer!!!"

Xu Chu smiled but did not reply.

If he truly became Wangyue Restaurant's Chief Brewer, it would mean the opportunity for revenge had arrived. Wangyue Restaurant's good days would be over, and Xu Chu would also disappear and leave completely.

Shopkeeper Qiu said, "As a brewer for Wangyue Restaurant, you don't need to do anything else; you just need to brew wine."

"I will give you all the spirit wine recipes you need to brew shortly. You have three to five years. Within five years, if you brew all these spirit wines, you can officially take office."

"Of course, during this period, all Materials needed for brewing will be provided by Wangyue Restaurant. At the same time, your salary and the benefits you receive will be disbursed normally according to the standard after you take office."

Currently, Qing Province Wangyue Restaurant still has a brewer in charge. Xu Chu needs to familiarize himself with the job content before the work handover can be completed and he can officially take up the position.

"How about it? Any other questions?" Shopkeeper Qiu finally asked.

Xu Chu replied, "No more questions."

"Good."
