C1 Drunken Immortal

Outside, the rain drizzled all day, like an asthma patient, intermittent.

Inside the room, there were many people in black and white mourning clothes standing in front of the mourning hall. Their expressions were either sad or silent. Only a woman was kneeling in front of the coffin, her head lowered, and she had not moved for a long time.

The person in the black and white photo was one of the few people in the Great White Wine World who persisted in the inheritance of ancient crafts, and was reputed to be a master level figure.

However, in this era, how much was a master worth?

"Yunyun, it's not Second Mother who said you. The old man has already gone. How can you maintain the operations of the factory by yourself?"

Wang Shuzhen thought that she was trying to persuade him earnestly, but the girl who was still carrying a filial daughter in front of her clearly did not buy it. A mocking smile appeared on her delicate and pretty face. In the morning, her father's friends from all walks of life expressed their condolences and left. It had only been a short while, and they could not wait to move out of the family.

"Second Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Since Father passed the winery to me, I will continue to operate it properly. "

"The factory is getting worse and worse day by day. The workers' salaries are almost gone. Where do you get the money to operate it? You should listen to everyone's advice. Sell our Drunken Immortal's formula. Only when you have money will you be able to subsidize the factory. It will be easier to plan for the future! "

Her tone was overbearing, which made Mao Yunyun's heart go completely cold. Her father's corpse was not cold yet, but they actually had ideas about the formula at the funeral.

Each and every one of them said that it was for the sake of the Mao family's wine industry, but they were actually afraid that their interests would be damaged.

Mao Yunyun's eyes reddened slightly. She recalled her father's instructions before she died. He wanted her to protect the foundation of the Mao family. Her heart ached.

When she thought of this, Mao Yunyun did not stand on ceremony anymore. "Second Mother, you'd better give up on this idea! I don't know how to sell the formulas. I will raise the salaries of the workers and raise them all. The dividends at the end of the year won't be any less than yours. "

Wang Shuzhen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Mao Yun coldly. "Father has just left for two days, and you all want to sell his life's hard work. I don't know how sad he will be if he has a spirit in heaven! "

These words were extremely ruthless. Wang Shuzhen was not a good person to begin with. Just as she was about to flare up, she suddenly remembered that she was still at the old man's funeral. With so many relatives around, it was not easy for them to fall out with each other. Hence, she glared at Mao Yunyun indignantly and retreated to the side, muttering to the third wife of the Mao family.

"This Mao Yunyun is really stubborn. The factory is about to collapse, and she is still guarding that lousy formula!"

"That's right. Previously, I saw Mao Jiawang take out the old man's favorite wine and sell it. Sigh, no matter how rich his family is, he will be defeated by this prodigal. . . . "

When Mao Yunyun suddenly heard this, she panicked.

Her brother took the bottle of wine and went out. How could she not know?

She couldn't care less about her relatives who had come to offer her condolences. She ran to her brother's house and just happened to hear Mao Jiawang calling her with his back facing her.

"Is the auction about to start? That bottle of wine is the fruit of my father's life's hard work. You must bid a good price! Just transfer the money to my card. No problem. "

He held his phone and spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

"Brother!"

Mao Jiawang was shocked. He hurriedly turned around and saw Mao Yunyun looking at him angrily.

"What did you do to Father's bottle of wine?"

Mao Yunwu asked. A layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Mao Jiawang's forehead.

One should know that since he was young, other than being afraid of a serious father, he was also afraid of a manly little sister like her.

He was a coward. Knowing that he couldn't hide the truth, he said everything in fear.

When Mao Yunyun heard this, her vision immediately darkened.

His brother actually took out his father's most prized work for auction!

That bottle of wine was his father's first proudest work and was treated as a piece of art. It had a deep meaning to his father. Not to mention, it was still Old Man Mao's betrothal gift. This was one of the few things that her father had left her. Mao Yunyun usually cherished it very much.

These few days, she suppressed her grief and held the funeral for her father. She did not expect that the Mao family would exploit this loophole and sell it.

Mao Jiawang guiltily explained: "I have no other choice. I lost a sum of money in the bet a few days ago, so I had to sell that bottle of wine to pay for it. "

When Mao Yunyun heard this, her lips turned pale. Her disappointment was evident in her words.

After her father passed away, not only did Mao Jiawang not come to the funeral, he left her alone to face a group of relatives who were eyeing the Mao family's winery covetously. Now, he even sold his father's heart's blood, which he regarded as a treasure.

She knew that her big brother was disappointing, but now, it was a bit too much!

Mao Yunyun bit her lower lip tightly, and her eyes were filled with tears. The grief and indignation that she had felt over the past few days finally erupted, and she could not help but fiercely slap Mao Jiawang!

"Brother, how can you be so shameless!? That was the wine that father treasured the most when he was alive!"

"What's wrong? Xiao Yun, why are you crying?"

When sister-in-law Sun Ai heard the sound, she hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and asked in confusion.

After listening to Mao Jiawang's explanation, Sun Aiai also had a look of disappointment on his face. "You went to gamble again?! You bastard, that wine is Xiaoyun's dowry. Are you worthy of her!? "

Mao Jiawang covered his pained face. He said weakly, "I went to gamble because I wanted to win money to buy you a good birthday present. I didn't expect to lose so much. "

Sun Aiai slapped him on the head, "You still have the face to say that!" Then, he looked at Mao Yunyun and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyun. Your brother is just a hooligan. "

"Brother, which auction house did you put the wine in? I'll go and get it back. "

Mao Yunyun had already collected her emotions. She could not let her father's most precious work end up in someone else's hands.

Mao Jiawang was clearly still unwilling to give up. He pursed his lips and said, "The auction will be held today. You won't be able to make it in time even if you go now. . . "

"Hurry up and say it!" Sun Aiai roared. Mao Jiawang was most afraid of the inside, so he could only say the address unwillingly.

Mao Yunyun took out her phone and booked a flight to A City as fast as she could.

Sun Aiai wiped his hands and took off his apron: "It's your big brother's fault. Xiao Yun, I'll go with you!"

The two of them rushed to the airport. There were less than two hours left until the auction started. Mao Yunyun prayed in her heart, hoping that the wine had not been bought by others.

At this moment, in the venue of a 5-star hotel in A City, there was an auction that had been waiting for a long time.

It was said that an extremely precious bottle of Phoenix Type Great White Wine would be auctioned at this auction. Not only did this wine come from a famous person, but it had also been kept for several decades. It was known by the industry as a "living antique of wine. " Many people came here after hearing the news, just to witness its elegance.

"Welcome to this' Wine Flashing Shadow 'auction. Jade Auction House welcomes all of you warmly, and hopes that everyone can bring back the items that they have been longing for. Welcome to this' Wine Flashing Shadow 'auction. ' Jade Auction House welcomes all of you warmly, and hopes that everyone can bring back the items that they have been longing for. Now, please bring out our first item! "

. . .

The auction proceeded in a lively and orderly manner. Time slowly passed, and finally, it arrived at the final item of the auction - Drunken Immortal brand Phoenix-type Grand White Wine.

"This precious bottle of Drunken Immortal Phoenix Wine is the only thing that the top wine brewing master Mao San was proud of when he was still alive. It was the one that won the award at the capital's first award banquet in the '50s. The wine cellar had been hidden for several decades. The fragrance of the wine was rich and mellow. It was a rare sight in the world. The wine jar was made of soy sauce and porcelain. It was small from head to toe and thick from waist to waist. It was oval in shape, with a pattern of hundreds of flowers blooming in it. The lines were beautiful.

Whether it was the wine bottle or the wine itself, they all had a very high collection value. The starting price is three hundred thousand, fifty thousand each. Everyone is welcome to bid!"

Everyone's eyes lit up as they raised the number plates in their hands.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Six hundred thousand!"

Huo, 600,000. This wasn't a small figure, and everyone was astounded.

"Alright. The mister at table number eight bids six hundred thousand. Six hundred thousand once. Is there any higher bid? 600,000 twice.

"One million. "

A calm and calm voice sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw a young man in a suit. He was handsome and had a good demeanor.

Although this wine was known as a "living antique" in the collection world, one million was already far beyond the actual value of this wine. Many people who wanted to bid also hesitated at this moment.

Chen Dong looked around and was very satisfied to find that no one else was bidding anymore. He was determined to get this bottle of Drunken Immortal Phoenix Wine.

"The mister at table six bids one million, one million once, one million twice, one million thrice!"

The auctioneer pounded his hammer, "Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining this legendary Drunken Immortal Grand White Wine!"

Mao Yunyun rushed to the entrance of the venue anxiously and just happened to hear this sentence.
