Chapter 572: Mr. Qian is Convinced

Xu Chu's target for revenge was only the Wangyue Restaurant; he would not harm the innocent.

Therefore, the spiritual wines he brewed on a large scale were not poisonous, but had some side effects.

For example, after drinking it, one would release very foul-smelling gas or continuously burp, the purpose being to ruin the Wangyue Restaurant's reputation.

Adding such side effects to the spiritual wine was very simple; the difficult part was adding it without being discovered.

Although Xu Chu was the Chief Winemaker of the Wangyue Restaurant, the Wangyue Restaurant was not yet his personal domain, so he needed to plan carefully to ensure everything was foolproof.

Xu Chu decided to first improve several spiritual wines, making slight changes to them, and once it was confirmed that the improved spiritual wines could be mass-produced and marketed.

He could then add the special ingredients. To prevent discovery, Xu Chu decided to personally brew a large quantity of spiritual wine with side effects.

Then, he would distribute them to branch stores in various continents, having them all launched at the same time.

Currently, these signature spiritual wines of the Wangyue Restaurant have all undergone generations of improvement and can be said to be infinitely close to perfection.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Xu Chu to continue optimizing them.

Xu Chu directly announced he was going into seclusion, dedicating all his thoughts to it.

After ten years, he finally improved three spiritual wines.

Xu Chu, carrying the newly brewed spiritual wines, found Elder Qian, the General Manager of the Wangyue Restaurant.

"Little friend Xu, long time no see," Elder Qian was slightly surprised to see Xu Chu.

Previously, when Xu Chu announced his seclusion for brewing, she thought it wouldn't take long, but she didn't expect this boy to be so patient, actually secluding himself for ten years.

It's normal to Cultivate in seclusion for ten years, but if a Winemaker secludes himself for ten years to brew wine, ignoring worldly affairs, most Winemakers couldn't do it.

Elder Qian thought to herself, perhaps this was one of the reasons Xu Chu, despite his young age, possessed such a high level of winemaking skill.

Xu Chu had no time to waste with her and spoke directly.

"It's like this, Elder Qian, I've improved three of our Wangyue Restaurant's signature spiritual wines over these past ten years, and I'd like to ask you to taste them and see if they're viable."

"Three?" Elder Qian was greatly astonished.

Although she had only been the General Manager of the Wangyue Restaurant for two or three hundred years, she had been at the Wangyue Restaurant for several hundred years.

She naturally understood how incredibly difficult it was to improve the Wangyue Restaurant's signature spiritual wines.

So, Xu Chu saying he had improved three of them greatly surprised her, even making it somewhat unbelievable.

Elder Qian couldn't help but wonder.

"Could it be that this boy guessed his previous actions displeased the management, who wanted to remove him, and that's why he's working so hard to salvage his image?"

"Or is he just a new official making a big splash, simply wanting to show off?"

Xu Chu directly took out six wine pots, three containing the old versions and three containing his improved versions, which, of course, had not yet had the special ingredients added.

"Elder Qian, please taste them and compare."

Elder Qian smiled slightly, "Alright, then this old woman won't be polite."

She first drank the ones currently being sold at the Wangyue Restaurant. Although Elder Qian was the General Manager, she was very familiar with the Wangyue Restaurant's signature spiritual wines.

However, these were just three ordinary spiritual wines, and given her cultivation and status, she would only drink them once every many years.

So, to distinguish the difference, she still needed to taste them.

Next was Xu Chu's improved version.

Elder Qian savored them carefully, and after tasting them all, her eyes lit up, and she gave Xu Chu a thumbs-up.

"As expected of the Great Master who replaced Elder Li as our Wangyue Restaurant's Chief Winemaker. To be able to create a different flavor from signature spiritual wines that have already been improved over so many generations, that's impressive."

Although Xu Chu had previously accepted gifts from anyone and everyone.

But Xu Chu's winemaking skill was indeed impeccable; Elder Qian was now truly convinced.

Originally, she supported the Wangyuelou Master's suggestion to let Elder Li reclaim the Chief Winemaker position in the next assessment.

But now, she was a bit hesitant. She felt that although Xu Chu liked to take small advantages and lacked vision, his winemaking skill was truly high.

Xu Chu quickly replied, "Elder Qian, you flatter me. The last challenge was just a trick; if we did it again, I would definitely lose to Elder Li."

"You are too modest," Elder Qian replied.

Xu Chu returned to the main topic, "Do you think these three spiritual wines can replace the previous ones on the market?"

Elder Qian feigned a thoughtful expression, pondering for a moment.

"These three are our Wangyue Restaurant's signature spiritual wines, and their target audience is very large. Changing them rashly might not be appropriate."

Xu Chu asked, "Then what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, why not put them on sale simultaneously and let customers choose, ultimately deciding whether to replace them based on sales," Elder Qian replied.

Xu Chu affirmed, "That would indeed be better. Elder Qian's consideration is truly thorough; this Junior is ashamed of his inferiority."

Xu Chu had naturally thought of this method, but he deliberately left it for Elder Qian to suggest.

Regardless, as long as his improved spiritual wines could be sold on a large scale, that was all that mattered.

"It's just experience," Elder Qian waved her hand.

Xu Chu said, "In that case, I'll go back for now. Once I've brewed enough, I'll bring them to you for arrangement."

"Good, take care," Elder Qian replied.

After Xu Chu left, Elder Qian looked into the distance, her mind filled with thoughts.

"From what I see now, this boy knows how to be modest and hide his true abilities. He doesn't look like someone who only knows how to take small advantages."

"Is it the complexity of human nature, or is there some hidden reason?"

Even with Elder Qian's rich experience, she found Xu Chu a bit inscrutable at this moment.

After returning, Xu Chu began mass-producing his improved spiritual wines.

He still didn't add any special ingredients; it was just normal brewing.

Because the amount to be brewed was too large, it was extremely time-consuming. Xu Chu ended up taking almost a year to complete the brewing.

When this batch of improved spiritual wines was brewed, delivered to Elder Qian, and she arranged for people to send them to various continents in the Tian Yuan World for sale.

Xu Chu began to work on brewing another spiritual wine.

This spiritual wine was the one he would eventually give to the Wangyue Restaurant's high-level executives to try.

Xu Chu did not need to develop a completely new spiritual wine; he only needed to take a certain spiritual wine previously sold at the Xu Family Drunken Immortal Restaurant, make a slight modification, and that would suffice.

Then, he would add the poison.

Normally, as Emperor Realm Experts, there were few poisons in the world that could harm them.

But Xu Chu was not only a Winemaker but also an Alchemist, and he enjoyed reading various encyclopedias and ancient texts, having considerable research into poisons.

Therefore, Xu Chu was confident that even if he couldn't kill them, he could at least cause damage to their Origin and severely deplete their Origin Qi.
