"His full face? Does that mean he has seen him before?" Xia Zheng’s curiosity was also piqued.

Shopkeeper Wu nodded, "Indeed, but he just caught a glimpse of his back once. It is said that the man is not tall and draped in a large black robe from head to toe. No one knows if he is in poor health or what, but he walks very slowly."

"Covered in a big robe, can’t he be seen by others?" Xia Zheng curled his lip, showing utter contempt for this person.

Yet Lin Yuan felt that this person must have some secret preventing him from being seen. If it wasn’t a physical disability, then perhaps it was an identity that couldn’t be revealed. A disability would be one thing, but if it was an identity that needed to be concealed, what kind of identity could that be?

"Xia Zheng, have you ever dined at Drunken Immortal Residence? What do you think?"

Xia Zheng scoffed, "It’s not as delicious as the ones you make."

Lin Yuan pressed her temple, "I’m being serious here!"

"So am I, really, the food just isn’t as tasty as yours." Xia Zheng blinked his innocent, animal-like eyes vigorously, asserting the truth of his statement.

Lin Yuan didn’t care whether he was telling the truth or not, considering she would eventually visit Drunken Immortal Residence to try the food herself. There was no rush at this moment.

"Anything else?"

Shopkeeper Wu thought for a moment, then said, "This chef has quite a strange temper, too. He is only at Drunken Immortal Residence for three days each month, and anyone who wants to eat the food he makes personally must make a reservation in advance. I’ve heard that the reservations are already booked up until this year’s Spring Festival!"

Scarcity marketing—apparently, this chef or shopkeeper also had some economic sense.

Lin Yuan’s opinion of Drunken Immortal Residence changed once more, viewing this formidable rival as very strong indeed.

Shopkeeper Wu continued, "There’s one more thing that perhaps the boss needs to know. Tingan Town’s An Family Winehouse, they have created a unique wine exclusively supplied to Drunken Immortal Residence, which even Drunken Immortal Tower in the Capital city uses. I’ve heard from Shopkeeper Jeng that the wine from An Family Winehouse is typically known for being spicy and strong, but this particular wine is quite different. It tastes spicy and potent at first sip, but upon savoring it, the aroma feels mellow and long-lasting. Even if one gets drunk, they won’t wake up with a severe headache like with other wines; instead, they feel refreshed and clear-headed. Because of this wine, the business at Drunken Immortal Residence has gotten even better."

With both excellent food and wine, no wonder the business of Drunken Immortal Residence has flourished year after year.

Yet...

"Isn’t Tingan Town where Shopkeeper Jeng is located? Can’t he build a good relationship with the An Family Winehouse and buy this wine?" Lin Yuan wondered. After all, they were from the same town; they should give each other some face, right?

Shopkeeper Wu shook his head with a wry smile, "Boss, with old Jeng’s temperament, do you really think he can get along well with the Chief of An Family? Before he has said two words, the other family shuts him down. Old Jeng is too straightforward, how can he compare to that woman who is the Family Head of the An Family?"

"Oh? The Family Head of An Family Winehouse is a woman?" Lin Yuan was shocked; she had never heard of a woman leading a family business before!

Xia Zheng was dismissive: "What’s so amazing about her? She didn’t build up the family business herself. Compared to you, she’s nothing."

Lin Yuan shot him a glance and then turned to look at Shopkeeper Wu.

Shopkeeper Wu nodded with a smile, "The Young Master is right. An Yixiang indeed inherited the business from her parents. The old shopkeeper of An Family Winehouse had only this daughter, An Yixiang, with no sons. Left with no choice, he passed on the family legacy to his daughter. An Yixiang married a man who entered her family, and they have a daughter and a son."

So that’s how it is, Lin Yuan realized, finally understanding why Xia Zheng looked down on An Yixiang.
