Border Soldiers: My granaries are full of grain and meat, and I guard this region.

Wang Dun's face darkened upon hearing this.

"roll!"

But Qi Feng just smiled jokingly.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You said yourself that this person was randomly chosen, and it's just one drink. If he wants a drink, I'll give it to him. Doesn't that prove that my wine tastes better?"

"On the contrary, isn't Young Master Wang a bit too fond of meddling in other people's affairs? Or... are these people actually people you arranged?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dun's face turned ashen. He could only glare fiercely at the man, the warning in his eyes unmistakable.

Qi Feng poured another glass of wine and handed it to the man, his expression kind.

"Just give your honest opinion. As the saying goes, it's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone. If my wine is good, it will keep selling, and the people of Fuxing County will be able to keep drinking it."

The eyes of those around him lit up when they heard this.

Both the appearance of the drinks and the reactions of Lin Shou and Xing Zhao aroused their curiosity, making them eager to try the drinks right now!

The man took the drink, but this time he wasn't as reckless as before. He held even a small glass of wine in his hands, sipping it as if it were a precious treasure.

This time, he finally got to taste the flavor he had been longing for.

The other four were also engrossed in tasting the drinks, but in reality, none of them had actually tasted anything of any worthwhile.

After Qi Feng's drinks entered their mouths, they felt that everything they had drunk before was like horse urine, including the Divine Brew they had just drunk. Every time they thought about the sour smell of the Divine Brew, and then looked at the wine they were drinking now, they felt nauseous.

Not to mention that Qi Feng's drinks have a stronger aftereffect, which is incomparable to other drinks.

Wang Dun narrowed his eyes; just from the expressions on these people's faces, he knew something was wrong.

The difference in quality between the drinks was immediately apparent. Even the most clueless bystanders could tell from the expressions of the people around them that Qi Feng's drinks were clearly superior.

However, the outcome was not determined by the quality of the drinks, but by the opinions of these seven people.

Finally, the seven people had finished tasting the food, and their faces still showed lingering satisfaction.

However, after seeing Wang Dun's gloomy expression, they all knew their mission.

Not to mention that Lin Shou and Xing Zhao had already privately discussed the distribution of profits with Wang Dun, the other five people couldn't afford to offend Wang Dun. It wasn't worth it for them to offend Wang Dun for a drink.

Finally, Xing Zhao spoke first, a faint smile on his face.

"In this competition, it seems that the wine from Young Master Wang's family is superior. The Divine Brew is indeed worthy of being offered as tribute to the Emperor. It must have its merits to have spread throughout Longxi Prefecture."

After Xing Zhao finished commenting, even though Ye Zhiwan had prepared herself mentally, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

"Brother Qi's drinks are clearly better!"

"Anyone with eyes can see that you prefer Brother Qi's drinks!"

Wang Dun smiled dismissively.

"Who told you that? Do you think the competition is decided by Manager Ye's few words?"

"The evaluations given by Chief Clerk Xing are the fairest and most objective! Are you implying that Chief Clerk Xing would treat people unfairly?"

Ye Zhiwan's face flushed red with anger. "Anyone with eyes can see that you arranged all of these people!"

Ye Zhiwan wanted to say more, but Qi Feng gently pressed her down.

"It's okay, I'll do it."

Although Qi Feng's voice wasn't loud, it made Ye Zhiwan feel at ease, and she subconsciously shut her mouth, calming down.

Wang Dun stared coldly at Ye Zhiwan.

"Manager Ye, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Registrar Xing and Master Lin are both influential figures. You'd better think carefully before you slander them!"

Lin Shou also gave his evaluation: although Qi Feng's wine was indeed good, he still chose the Divine Brew.

"The two divine brews are far superior; as for the other one, humph! It's nothing but horse piss!"

Although Lin Shou was initially shocked when he tasted Qi Feng's wine, he also considered impulsively buying it.

However, he is now quite old and knows what the Divine Wine means to him.

Compared to the Lin Shou of the past who only pursued brewing skills, the Lin Shou of today cares more about profits.

Although Qi Feng's wine is excellent, once it gains a real reputation, his "Divine Brew" will definitely be affected, and his current status and wealth will be in jeopardy, which is something Lin Shou cannot tolerate.

The other five people exchanged glances. Only the person who had drunk two cups hesitated. The rest of them chose the Divine Brew without hesitation.

Even the man who had drunk two cups of wine eventually lowered his head and chose the Divine Wine under Wang Dun's cold gaze.

Seeing that all seven people had chosen the Divine Wine, Wang Dun smiled slightly.

"Manager Ye, how is the competition going?"

"Whether it's Master Lin, Registrar Xing, or even just five randomly selected commoners, they all think the Divine Brew is better. As for the wine this kid brews, it's nothing but horse piss!"

"So, shouldn't Manager Ye hand over the land deed for the Ye Family Restaurant?"

Ye Zhiwan clenched her fists, glaring at Wang Dun with resentment.

However, seeing that Qi Feng remained calm and composed, she gradually calmed down as well.

Anyway, Ye Family Restaurant is now actually Qi Feng's, so since Qi Feng is so confident, Ye Zhiwan is not worried.

"You're saying my wine is horse piss?"

Qi Feng looked at Wang Dun and raised his eyebrows.

Wang Dun sneered, "What else could it be but horse urine?"

Upon hearing this, both Lin Shou and Xing Zhao looked somewhat uneasy.

However, they also knew that the Ye Family Restaurant was something Wang Dun was determined to acquire, so of course they wouldn't stand up and sabotage it at this moment.

Just then, a faint voice came from behind.

"I had no idea that my favorite wine had become what others called horse piss!"

A dozen or so armed constables cleared the way, and the crowd that had been surrounding them all quickly moved away.

The person standing here was none other than Zhao Tongchuan, the magistrate of Fuxing County!

In the two days leading up to the competition, Qi Feng wasn't just waiting idly. He knew Wang Dun must have his own plans, so he visited Zhao Tongchuan early on and specially invited him to come over today.

With Zhao Tongchuan here, no matter what tricks Wang Dun uses, they will be useless.

The reason Zhao Tongchuan was sent over was not because Qi Feng lacked confidence in his wine, but simply to prevent Wang Dun from using underhanded tactics.

This is why Qi Feng remained unmoved by Wang Dun's petty tricks. Compared to Zhao Tongchuan, what difference was there between Wang Dun's powerful backer and someone made of paper?

As expected, Wang Dun was initially impatient when someone interrupted him, but when he saw that it was Zhao Tongchuan who had come in person, he was immediately stunned and shut up.

As for Xing Zhao, his face turned even paler, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

As a member of the officialdom in Fuxing County, he knew that Zhao Tongchuan had recently made a great contribution and would soon be promoted.

Provoking Zhao Tongchuan at this crucial moment would be suicidal!

Xing Zhao's gaze kept shifting between Zhao Tongchuan and Qi Feng. When she saw Zhao Tongchuan walk towards Qi Feng and greet him with a smile, her heart suddenly felt empty.
