1090 Using food as bait (2)(Chapter preview)

"That's right, You Yue, how could there be meat without wine!" Kong Xiang Yi said, "I've already finished drinking the fruit wine you gave me back then in a few days!"

"Fruit wine? Elder Wu, do you want to drink that?"

After hearing what Kong Xiang Yi said, it affirmed his thoughts even more. Sima You Yue must have a lot of fruit wine!

"I went to Memory Restaurant quite a few times and was captivated by the delicacies and delicious wine. It was a pity that they don't allow you to order those items as take-out. I didn't manage to drink the fruit wine in the end." Elder Wu lamented.

"Exactly!" Kong Xiang Yi added on, "You Yue, no offense, but your Memory Restaurant is too stingy. Each time I go there to eat, there's a limit on the wine! Each person is only allowed a limited quantity of wine. Once you're done, that's the end. Because of that, I have never drunk my fill."

"You already told me that the last time, so didn't I give you a few jars to enjoy?" Sima You Yue said.

"But it wasn't enough!" Kong Xiang Yi retorted, "Who asked your fruit wine to be so delicious that I finished drinking it so quickly."

"Now that you mention it, I have been developing a few different types of fruit wine."

"Really? Then you should hurry and let me try some!" Kong Xiang Yi cried out.

"So it turns out that the fruit wine was developed by Vice Valley Master!" Elder Wu said, "I wonder if we will have the luxury to enjoy your newly developed fruit wine tonight?"

Memory Restaurant would occasionally release new flavours of fruit wine. As such, there was an increasing variety of fruit wine. Even if you didn't like one of them, there was bound to be one to your tastes!

When the other restaurants saw that the fruit wine of Memory Restaurant were so popular, they tried to find out how they made their fruit wines. It was a pity that there were so many wine shops but not a single one managed to produce one that was as tasty as the ones found in Memory Restaurant.

That was why even though the fruit wine from Memory Restaurant was expensive and they could only drink a little each time, there were many who scrambled for it.

"Alright then, it just so happens that I have new flavours to try." Sima You Yue gave a thought and a few gourds of fruit wine appeared in front of everyone. She opened the cork and the fragrance immediately enticed the greed of everyone on the boat.

"This fragrance is even stronger than the previous ones!" Kong Xiang Yi praised.

"No way! Let me try!" Han Miao Shuang couldn't wait to grab herself a jar.

"Give me some, give me some." Kong Xiang Yi waited till she was done before she grabbed the jar and poured a bowl for herself.

"Me too." Someone else poured themself a bowl.

"How is it?" Sima You Yue watched them, waiting for their evaluation on her wine.

"Extremely delicious! More so than the previous ones!" Kong Xiang Yi couldn't help but praise.

After Sima You Yue heard their comments, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's good as long as it tastes good!"

"You Yue, why do I feel like the spirit energy in this fruit wine is a little denser than the previous ones?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"That's a given. The fruits I used this time were naturally overflowing with spirit energy, so the fruit wine that this queen produced naturally wouldn't have gone far." Sima You Yue said with a smile.

"Hehe, You Yue, how many jars of this new type of fruit wine did you produce?" Kong Xiang Yi hugged the wine jug and looked at her.

"Not much." The moment Sima You Yue saw the way she was acting, she knew what was going through her mind, "I haven't even given these to the shops, so I can't give this to you."

"You still have so much time before you go out!" Kong Xiang Yi pleaded, "You can just give them some once you're back! Alright?"

When she saw Sima You Yue hesitating, she continued to beg, "Why don't we do this? I'll buy it from you like I did that time. How about it?"

"Do you really want to buy it?" Sima You Yue asked.

I do! Swear it!" Kong Xiang Yi said resolutely, "As long as you're willing to sell it to me, money is not an issue!"

"Alright! Since you're so forthcoming, I'll sell you these few jars." Sima You Yue said, "However, this will be pricier than the ones you bought before."

"No problem!" Kong Xiang YI took out a crustal card, "Just swipe the amount you want. As long as you give me the fruit wine!"

"Alright!" Sima You Yue took the crystal card and casually transferred some spirit stones over before returning it to her and handing her a few jars.

"Thank you, You Yue!" Kong Xiang Yi gleefully kept the fruit wine away.

The others watched as the two of them completed their transaction just like that and were amazed at their speed. At the same time, they were envious that Kong Xiang Yi was actually acquainted with the owner of Memory Restaurant.

"Vice Valley Master, you sold the fruit wine to young miss Xiang Yi, so could you sell me some too?" Elder Wu said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, Elder Wu, You're too kind." Sima You Yue had to suppress her hatred before she was able to continue smiling. "We set a limit in Memory Restaurant because we just have too many customers. If not for the limit, no matter how much wine we stocked, it would never be enough! However, that doesn't mean we can't give a little leeway to our friends."

"Does that mean you can?"

"Of course." Sima You Yue said, "However, I only have these few jugs of wine. Xiang Yi has already bought them all. However, if you, Elder Wu, want some, I only have the ones that I refined previously."

Although he heard that the wine was already gone and was rather disappointed inside, thinking about how the other wines were delicious as well, he nodded, saying, "Previous batches are fine too. Even though they're from previous batches, they're still worth thousands!"

"You Yue, Elder Wu has taken care of my brother and I quite a bit. You have to give him some discount when selling him the wine! Otherwise, the price is a bit too steep." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"Hehe…" Elder Wu looked at Kong Xiang Yi with satisfaction. He decided that he would treat Kong Xiang Yi a little better in the future. At the very least, if they needed help in the future, he could even casually help them out.

"Then we'll just price it according to the price in Memory Restaurant and give you a twenty percent discount, how about that?" Sima You Yue asked.

"I'll have to thank you then, Vice Valley Master!" Elder Wu was all smiles.

Apart from Memory Restaurant's Membership day, they would never have discounts. However, even during the anxiously-awaited membership day, they would only have a ten percent discount. Nobody had ever received a twenty percent discount before!

"So which types of fruit wine do you like?" Sima You Yue asked.

"What types do you have?"

"I have all of them." Sima You Yue said, "As long as the memory restaurant sells it, I have it."

"Does that mean that you have many?"

Memory restaurant had close to a hundred types of fruit wine. Since she had them all, didn't that mean that she had at least a hundred jugs?!

"It's not really that many." Sima You Yue said, "I have only a few jugs of some types of wine, but there are those that I have more of. A few tens to a hundred jugs as well. It really depends on which flavours you want, Elder Wu."

Once everyone heard it, they wanted to buy the wine as well. Every single one of them felt their mouths water.

"Then give me a few tens of them!" Elder Wu said animatedly.

He had money, but if he missed out on the wine, then it was over!

He exchanged the money for the items and the transaction was done quickly. Sima You Yue even earned a big sum of money.

"Since Elder Wu has bought so many, let's do this. I'll give you a few of them for free so everyone can drink to their heart's content!' Sima You Yue said.
