He should have realized it sooner.
That intensity, that aroma, that exhilarating feeling after swallowing—how could it be ordinary liquor?
If it were so easy to buy, the major clans of Konoha would have been drinking it long ago.
Hyuga Hiashi he held the empty bottle.
The Hyuga Clan is not short of money.
What he was really worried about was that Zhang Yu wouldn't sell.
Or the number is so small that he won't even get a turn.
Hinata stood to the side, watching Zhang Yu quietly.
She doesn't actually know anything about wine.
But she could tell that her father really liked that bottle of Erguotou.
My father rarely shows any obvious preferences.
It's quite rare for him to personally bring an empty bottle to the tavern to inquire about it.
She felt both nervous and a little bit happy.
Because this would give her a reason to come to the Undead Tavern again.
I was also able to meet Boss Zhang Yu.
Hinata blushed even more at this thought and quickly lowered her head.
Just as Zhang Yu was about to continue negotiating the price, Bai Qing's clear greeting came from the doorway.
Welcome to the Undead Tavern.
Zhang Yu turned his head to look.
Ino Yamanaka pushed open the door and came in.
She changed into a refreshing outfit today, and her golden hair was neatly tied up. As soon as she entered, she looked towards the bar.
Behind her was a middle-aged man.
Inoichi Yamanaka.
The Yamanaka Clan Konoha.
He was also an important figure in the Intelligence Division.
As soon as Inoichi Yamanaka entered, his gaze swept around the tavern.
His gaze first fell on Bai, then paused slightly.
Then he saw Hyuga Hiashi at the bar, and his expression immediately turned somewhat surprised.
" Hiashi?"
Hyuga Hiashi also turned around.
" Inoichi."
When the two elders of the Konoha clan met, the atmosphere immediately became both subtle and familiar.
They were all heads of Konoha High Command, and naturally had dealt with each other quite a bit.
Inoichi Yamanaka smiled.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
Hyuga Hiashi's expression was composed.
"Bring Hinata over for a seat."
Ino also saw Hinata at that moment.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, lowering her voice to chuckle, " Hinata, you've sneaked in for a snack too?"
Hinata's face flushed bright red.
No, no.
I came with my father.
Ino blinked.
"What a coincidence? I'm here with my father too."
She said that, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Zhang Yu behind the bar.
Hinata noticed her gaze and felt a strange tightness in her chest.
She whispered, "I really was just accompanying my father to buy wine."
Ino's smile widened.
"I was just accompanying my father to buy wine."
The two girls exchanged a glance.
No one exposed the other.
But both of them knew in their hearts that the snacks at the Undead Tavern were indeed delicious.
Iced cola is also unforgettable.
Not to mention that Boss Zhang Yu is also here.
Zhang Yu was secretly pleased by their reactions.
Goodness!
The two future heiresses of Konoha clans ostensibly accompany their fathers to buy alcohol, but in reality, each one is more eager than the other for the food at the tavern.
Inoichi Yamanaka was unaware of his daughter's little scheme.
He had already walked up to Zhang Yu and taken out an empty wine bottle.
" Boss Zhang Yu."
"I came here specifically to repurchase this fine wine."
The empty bottles were placed on the bar counter.
It's exactly the same as the empty bottle in Hyuga Hiashi's hand.
Hyuga Hiashi one look and immediately became alert.
Has Inoichi Yamanaka also drunk it?
And they're here to buy too?
This is troublesome.
Alcohol is produced in limited quantities, and the more people want to buy it, the harder it is to lower the price.
Hyuga Hiashi spoke without hesitation.
" Inoichi, you've come at a bad time."
Inoichi Yamanaka was taken aback.
"How?"
Hyuga Hiashi remained calm, but spoke a little faster than usual.
" Boss Zhang Yu already said that."
"This is no ordinary liquor; it's a limited-edition premium Erguotou."
"It's difficult to brew, and the stock is extremely limited, so it's not always available for purchase."
Inoichi Yamanaka's smile vanished instantly.
He looked at Zhang Yu, then at the empty bottle in his hand.
Limited edition premium Erguotou?
No wonder.
When he got home that day, he only poured himself a glass of water.
After finishing one cup, I remembered the taste perfectly.
He tried to drink less, but once you start drinking, it's impossible to stop.
After finishing the last bottle, he stared at the bottom for a long time, and the next day he decided to come over in person.
Unexpectedly, Hyuga Hiashi also set his sights on it.
And they even beat them to it.
Inoichi Yamanaka quickly realized what was happening.
This wine is definitely not cheap.
More importantly, purchasing has become more difficult.
If it's just a regular product, people can simply pay for it.
But once it's limited, who gets it first, and how much, depends entirely on whether Boss Zhang Yu is willing to sell it.
Inoichi Yamanaka cursed inwardly.
Hyuga Hiashi, who usually seems so proper and composed, I never expected him to buy alcohol so quickly.
A smile appeared on his face.
"I see."
"No wonder I felt that all the other sake in Konoha was bland and uninteresting after I finished this one."
Hyuga Hiashi said calmly, "That's true."
The two heads of the household stood in front of the bar.
They are usually prominent figures in Konoha.
But at this moment, they were each holding an empty wine bottle, and their eyes were all fixed on Zhang Yu.
Hashirama peeked over the Hashirama and couldn't help but lower his voice.
"Boss, is this wine so popular now?"
Tobirama flipped through the account books, his tone calm.
"The high-end beverage strategy has taken shape."
Ban snorted coldly.
"Two junior clan leaders are worrying over a bottle of wine."
Zabuza stood at the kitchen doorway, looking at the expressions of Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka, feeling a little strange himself.
These two men exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating they were Konoha High Command.
But when facing Zhang Yu, he maintained a very composed demeanor.
The owner of the Undead Tavern is becoming increasingly important in the eyes of the families of Konoha.
Hinata and Ino, standing to the side, also sensed the subtle rivalry between their parents.
Ino leaned closer to Hinata and whispered...
"It seems the wine that Boss Zhang Yu gave us is really amazing."
Hinata whispered, "Father likes it very much."
Ino glanced at Zhang Yu, her cheeks also feeling a little hot.
My father likes it very much too.
After the two girls finished speaking, they both lowered their heads at the same time.
No one said anything more.
Just then, a new system notification popped up in front of Zhang Yu's eyes.
[bite!]
[Two heads of Konoha High Command clans have simultaneously expressed a strong desire to purchase alcohol.]
[New quest triggered!]
[Task Name: Manipulate the Patriarch's Limited-Time Drinking Party.]
[Task Requirements: The host must understand the psychology of Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka, subtly guiding them to purchase limited-edition premium Erguotou liquor at any cost, maximizing profits.]
[Reward Rules: The higher the transaction price and the more items purchased, the higher the gold coin reward; rewards can be accumulated.]
[Guaranteed Bonus: 2000 Gold Coins.]
Zhang Yu looked at the task panel, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The two potential future in-laws need to be carefully managed today.
Hyuga Hiashi and Inoichi Yamanaka stood in front of the bar, each holding an empty bottle.
Neither of them spoke first to urge the other.
Because they all figured it out.
