Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 344: A bottle of Coke is not expensive at two dollars. In later times, it is sold at three and a half dollars.

A group of young people in their twenties, and many of them are even in their teens, are all competitive and want to save face, especially in front of their peers.

They were all decent, no one had much money, but they all ordered really good wine.

In addition to the nearby Jinling Bamboo-Leaf Green, Shuanggou Daqu, Yanghe Daqu, and Bozhou Gujing Gongjiu, there are also Fenjiu from Shanxi, Maotai from Guizhou, Luzhou Laojiao from Sichuan, Green Ant Spring Wine from Shehong, Xifeng Liquor from Shaanxi, Wuliangye from Yibin, and Jiannanchun from Mianzhu.

These were all the original fine wines that He Songling had specially asked Manager Liu to bring in from other places when he was planning two days ago. At that time, Liu Wei felt that it was a bit wasteful, but now he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to He Songling.

If you can't drink white wine, there is also Shaoxing's good yellow wine. The weather has begun to get colder this season, especially in the south. The damp and cold air seems to penetrate into the bones. Take a pot of good yellow wine, add some ginger and plums, heat it up and drink it. Oh, it's so delicious.

In addition to Lao Zhong's domestic wines, there are also foreign wines brought back by He Songling. Scottish whiskey, the four major producing areas of Highland, Lowland, Islay and Speyside are all available; American whiskey, bourbon, rye, etc.

The most popular one among young people is Tadpole Gnawing on Wax.

This stuff contains carbon dioxide. Maybe people in later generations have gotten tired of drinking it, but among the current Lao Zhong people, especially the Yi people, almost no one has ever drunk it. When you take a gulp, the gas goes up and it feels more powerful than the distilled liquor with an alcohol content of more than 50 degrees.

Originally, this thing was not expensive, and Manager Liu only planned to raise the price slightly according to the normal profit of the wine and drinks in the store. But he couldn't help but think that the world's richest man was living in his store. Do you think that a person with a clean heart can be the richest man in the world?

He Songling said that this thing is a hot-selling product specially imported from the United States, and it costs two dollars a bottle, and no bargaining is allowed. You can buy it if you want, or if you don't want to buy it, just put it here and we will take a look at it.

When they heard He Songling's words, Manager Liu and Mu Chen's faces turned green.

You guys are so shameless. A bottle of Coke costs two dollars. You might as well just point a cannon at someone's head and rob him.

But He Songling argued that this stuff costs three dollars and a bottle in our place, and I sell it for two dollars, which is already a fair price.

That's true, but he ignored the differences in eras, currencies, purchasing power, and productivity.

In a word, expensive.

If it were any other day, even if these boxes of tadpoles were left in Yinghe Tower until they grew hair and turned caramel-colored and transparent, no one would buy them. But today was different. The young men from the righteous sects were all competing with each other.

He Songling specially found a shill, the man from the Huangmen Sancai, whom he had met in Hebei before, and asked him to buy a bottle and drink it with great pleasure. Once one person bought it, these young talents followed suit to buy it in order not to be left behind.

Not long after, these boxes of Coke were actually sold out at the price of two yuan a bottle.

This shows how good He Songling is at reaping the spoils of his enemies. Manager Liu also made a fortune this time, earning at least five years of pocket money saved by these people in one night. Although he still had to share the profits with He Songling, his profits were definitely not small.

"You even cheated children out of their pocket money. You are a piece of shit." Liu Wei pretended to look down on He Songling while asking Mu Chen to calculate tonight's revenue and profit on an abacus.

"How about you just give me all the money and let me take the blame?"

"Oh, that won't work. We are good brothers, so we have to shoulder the responsibility together."

Just when these two scoundrels were showing off their bottom line to each other, the door opened with a creak, and a young man with a sour face walked in.

It was Li Muxuan.

"Here he comes, here he comes." "Here he is, Wang Yaozu's disciple?"

"He looks quite handsome, but his expression looks like someone owes him money."

"Nonsense, it would be strange for him to be happy if he is not tolerated by the right path."

Unlike the original novel where Li Muxuan quietly entered Yinghe Tower and had a feast before being discovered by someone, this time after He Songling spread the word, everyone came to Yinghe Tower just to capture Li Muxuan, Wang Yaozu's disciple, so as soon as he entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention and countless whispers.

Li Muxuan was very uncomfortable with the gazes and whispers of the crowd, but according to his personality, since he had already come in, could he turn around and leave again? It seemed as if he was afraid of this group of people.

Li Muxuan, whose self-esteem is so strong that he can be called the Inhuman Vegeta, even dares to contradict Zuo Rutong in person and even curse him in the street. What are these guys?

After taking a deep breath and straightening his clothes, Li Muxuan did not avoid looking back. Instead, he walked in with his head held high.

"Snapped!"

After finding a seat and sitting down, Li Muxuan slapped the table and shouted, "Hey, serve some wine!"

“I can’t.”

From the shadow behind the counter, an old man wearing a landlord's melon-shaped hat walked out slowly.

"Who are you?" Li Muxuan looked at the old man who looked like he came out of a horror movie, but he showed no fear at all. "You don't sell alcohol when you run a restaurant?"

"I am the owner of this restaurant."

The word "shopkeeper" is equivalent to the CEO in the modern corporate system. He holds the highest authority over the daily operations of the company, but is responsible to the board of directors.

Liu Wei is the owner of Jianghu Inn, which means that the inn is not his, he is just the current leader; but this Yinghelou is opened by Liu Wei himself, so in Yinghelou, strictly speaking, the waiters should call him "boss".

However, since a large number of people working in Yinghe Tower are people from small inns who work there part-time, in order to allow them to earn some money to live when they are not working, Liu Wei also saves the money of hiring full-time waiters, so in the building, most people can still hear him calling him the shopkeeper.

But the real owner of Yinghe Tower should be the old man in front of him.

"Shopkeeper, you don't sell wine?" Li Muxuan glared at the old man with dead eyes, "Why, are you afraid that I can't afford to pay?"

"Boy, why are you acting stupid here?"

A chirping voice was heard, and a square-faced boy with a shaved head rushed out, pointed at Li Muxuan with disgust and said, "Everyone knows you, Wang Yaozu's apprentice, a puppy taught by the notorious old dog Quan Xing.

The old shopkeeper doesn't want to sell you wine and asks you to get out. That's to give you face, you have to accept it, understand? If you don't want this face, then don't blame us, our fellows, for beating you here. No one can say no if we tell others about it!"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and countless people's eyes were focused on Li Muxuan, some of them with murderous intent.
