Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Taking Wine From The Wine Cellar (2/5)

Mengzhen Mei, unlike Yiran He, even though she had been to an auction, didn’t feel there was anything special about this one. At most, it was just a level she had never been in contact with, and she thought it seemed high-end. However, after she got to know Fu Hao, she did indeed feel a difference in the grandeur behind those wealthy families, combined with the mystery of the auction. Even though she couldn’t quite articulate this feeling, it was still somewhat different for Mengzhen Mei. Seeing this message, she naturally got a bit dumbfounded.

By the time Mengzhen Mei showed the message to Tianyu Fan, it wasn’t just him being dumbfounded; his whole person was shocked, as he exclaimed, "Fuck."

Tianyu Fan’s curse instantly drew the gaze of all the relatives. Faced with their puzzled looks, he let out an embarrassed chuckle, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing."

Then, taking her phone, he quietly asked, "What’s going on with this?"

"How should I know? This message came out of nowhere, but it’s definitely true. After all, the person concerned is right beside us. Probably because of the new medicine just now, and then mentioning the auction, that’s why this came out."

It seemed these people kept their secrets too well. However, Mengzhen Mei had no right to talk about others. Even she kept secrets deeper than these people; her own space hasn’t been revealed yet.

Tianyu Fan was left speechless. No one around him was simple at all.

But Tianyu Fan didn’t think this about Fu Hao and Jin Zhan or those others, he thought it about Mengzhen Mei. He knew she kept things from him, some things he felt weren’t necessary to ask so explicitly, so he pretended not to know. If Mengzhen Mei was willing to talk, he would listen, but if she didn’t want to, he could keep it a secret with her, pretending not to know.

Yet at that moment, Tianyu Fan suddenly realized something, "If the auction belongs to Brother Hao, does that mean if we sell things there, they might bid up our prices?"

"Do our prices even need bidding up? If they go any higher, no one could afford it."

No matter what others thought, in her heart, the headache balm was on the same level as the calming incense. The calming incense was priced at eighty million, so the headache balm would definitely not be any lower in price. Mengzhen Mei also realized a problem—the price was already set, meaning that all items in this series would have a minimum price of eighty million moving forward. If that was the case, there was indeed money to be made in this series, which also meant she could consider producing more.

But isn’t there a saying ’rarity is the essence of value’? If she had too many items... wait, ’rarity is the essence of value’ means the items are scarce, not that there are many types. So, Mengzhen Mei really could consider this aspect.

Mengzhen Mei thought it over and decided to wait until the pricing was established before considering further. Maybe she was overthinking it. The headache balm would be priced at whatever it should be.

Spending the afternoon at Xiyuan was definitely relaxing, with the elders sitting together, chatting and laughing leisurely.

After chatting for almost two hours, it was time to start preparing dinner. Mengcheng Mei suggested, "I’ll go check on dinner. Brother Tianyu, you’ve arranged everything, right?"

Tianyu Fan had already sorted that out upon arrival. Knowing this was Mei Yifang and her partner’s first time at Xiyuan, it was natural not to make do with staff meals. He had specifically selected some fine dishes, of course none too complicated, as intricate dishes wouldn’t be possible to prepare even if ordered now. But even the simple dishes were quite tasty, and such arrangements were already good for people who came by unexpectedly.

As dinner time approached, along with dinner, naturally, came Xiyuan’s wine. Tianyu Fan said, "Mengcheng, take Big Uncle to the wine cellar to pick out wine. I’ll pop by the kitchen."

After thinking it over, Tianyu Fan added, "Or we can all go to the wine cellar. Anyone who wants to drink can pick whatever they like."

The mention of the wine cellar naturally piqued their interest as they hadn’t yet seen what a wine cellar looked like.

Thus, yet another large group made their way toward the wine cellar. It just so happened today that at the reception, Yongwang Qi, once again, encountered a classmate he had met at Xiyuan.

Last time, Yongwang Qi casually brushed them off, but this time he was with Tianyu Fan. Anyone who came to Xiyuan for dinner knew Tianyu Fan, so while feeling curious, they still called out Yongwang Qi’s name, "Yongwang Qi."

Yongwang Qi, following behind Tianyu Fan and chatting with him, turned to look when he heard his name called. Not only did Yongwang Qi look, but the whole throng of people turned their eyes toward the twosome. Upon recognizing them, Yongwang Qi’s smile instantly turned awkward. What kind of day was this, running into acquaintances again?

With a slightly awkward air, Yongwang Qi greeted his classmates, "Hello there, what a coincidence to meet you here again."

Yifang Mei asked with curiosity, "Yongwang, who are these two? Your classmates?"

"Yes, my classmates. You go ahead, I’ll come over after saying hello."

Tianyu Fan glanced at Yongwang Qi and then said to Mengzhen Mei, "Zhenzhen, you lead them there, I’ll come over in a bit."

Mengzhen Mei, of course, remembered these two people and knew what Tianyu Fan was planning to do. Accordingly, she obediently nodded her head and led the others to the wine cellar.

After watching the group leave, Yongwang Qi finally came over and greeted his classmates properly, though he was genuinely surprised that Tianyu Fan would come to accompany him.

Yongwang Qi said, "Wang Jing, Zhang Nuokai, what a coincidence to meet in Xiyuan again."

The two nodded, "Yes, quite the coincidence. Yongwang Qi, this gentleman is...?"

The two obviously intended to probe the relationship, and with Tianyu Fan himself there, there was no reason to be evasive. He straightforwardly introduced himself, "Hello, I’m Mr. Fan, the owner of Xiyuan. Thanks for looking after my cousin at school. Which private room did you book? I’ll have someone send a bottle of wine over."

Upon hearing this, the two were completely taken aback, with Xiyuan’s owner standing right there as Yongwang Qi’s cousin. Such an incredible revelation! Even though it was staggering, the two courteously responded to Tianyu Fan, "Cousin, nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

But there wasn’t much else to say, and while they were still stunned, the reception had completed their check-in procedure. Subsequently, the usher escorted them to their private room, while Yongwang Qi and Tianyu Fan took note of the room number before silently heading to the wine cellar.

Tianyu Fan thought since the two were Yongwang Qi’s classmates, it was fine to give them wine, but there was no need for anything too exquisite. Perhaps everyone who came here to dine was wealthy or noble, but at the same time, he couldn’t send anything subpar. Thus, Tianyu Fan was indeed quite conflicted.

The two reached the cellar without speaking, Yongwang Qi just accompanying Tianyu Fan as they roamed the Red Wine Area, selecting wine.
