Why are there so many changes?
However, she didn't think too much about it, assuming that the Earl hadn't been getting enough nutrition lately and was feeling hot-tempered, so he might have drunk a bit too much.
When the maid in the black dress carried in two wine barrels that were several times larger than herself.
Even the usually oblivious Jiang Xiao couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
This wine barrel... it looks rather familiar.
"Hehe, young man, don't be fooled by the rough appearance of this wine barrel. It has been passed down from my ancestors, and the red wine inside has been passed down for centuries. Normally, if there are no guests, I will only take a small sip at most."
As he spoke, the count kept his eyes fixed on the wine barrel in front of him, like a child showing off his treasure to a friend.
However, these wines were worthy of his treatment.
It's a centuries-old wine, and when it was stored, it was among the highest-grade wines available.
It's similar to storing the current Feitian Moutai and passing it down for hundreds of years.
As we all know, apart from beer, fermented beverages such as baijiu and red wine become more valuable the longer they are stored.
Its value can only be described as immeasurable; this Earl's wine is almost equivalent to an "antique."
Hundreds of years ago
According to the history of Earth's development, it can be traced back almost to the Qing Dynasty.
Imagine this.
If someone had stored the finest Daughter's Red wine of that time, and preserved it intact to this day...
How high will its value be?
The 82 Lafite that everyone is familiar with is expensive enough, isn't it?
That was just a 1982 vintage wine.
Thinking about it this way, the Earl's almost doting gaze at the wine barrel can be explained.
"Tsk, young man, you're in luck today. Last time my husband treated someone to these precious wines, that person actually helped him with a big favor."
The countess was also explaining the preciousness of the red wine, subtly hoping that Jiang Xiao would "donate a little something".
Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao could already feel ants crawling all over his body.
He recognized it immediately; there was no mistake, it was the wine barrel he had just used to hold the maid.
There was a pull tab on the barrel, and he didn't know how to open it. In the end, he violently pulled it open and put it back in the same position as before.
"Hahaha, madam, why say such things? My little brother and I hit it off immediately, and we must drink to our hearts' content today!"
As he spoke, the count prepared to pour the wine himself. This was a task the count always performed personally, so as to make people feel its preciousness.
Put yourself in their shoes, what kind of wine is it that the count himself had to pour it?
"Hmm? Hiss."
Just like the maid before, the count immediately sensed something was wrong as soon as he tilted the wine barrel slightly.
Unlike the maids, the count would come over to these wine barrels almost every now and then to take a look and shake them.
Now, the Earl knows it as soon as he gets his hands on it.
The weight is incorrect?
Someone fucking stole my wine?!
Visibly, a blush began to slowly spread across the count's handsome face; he was furious!
However, with outsiders present, he couldn't directly lash out.
We are determined to investigate thoroughly!
"Hmm? Still not right."
What's going on?
I haven't even used any force, how did this clip fall off by itself?
It must have been that greedy little cat who stole the wine!
Forget it, I'll hold back. I mustn't show any lack of class in front of outsiders.
Hold back!
At this moment, Jiang Xiao had slowly moved to Shi Shi's side.
He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that he seemed to have made a huge mistake.
Shi Shi reached her small hand under the table and tightly grasped Jiang Xiao's large hand, while giving Jiang Xiao a look.
Dad, if things get heated, we'll work together and take down the little one!
Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement.
However, he doesn't want to take action against others unless it comes to the very last step.
After all, in his heart, these people had taken care of Shi Shi for him for so long for nothing.
"Father, is the wine ready?"
The young count, seeing the count standing motionless, couldn't help but urge him on. He wanted to finish his meal quickly so he could complete this important life event with Shi Shi.
In his mind, since Shi Shi was willing to have dinner with his father, it meant that she agreed to be with him.
If she agrees to be with me, then it means I can completely possess her tonight.
"no."
The count looked at the wine barrel, which was tilted so dramatically, and the look of doubt in his eyes grew deeper.
its not right?
The weight is right here, and I've tilted myself to this extent, so why isn't any wine flowing out?
Unable to bear it any longer, the count began to disregard his image, squinting one eye and peering into the spout of the wine barrel.
It's a pity it's too dark inside.
"How about, uh? How about you take off the lid? That way you can see it clearly."
Jiang Xiao kindly reminded him from behind.
The count nodded and began to ponder how to open the barrel lid, since he had never done so in all these years.
"That's not how you open it. There's a latch on the left side; you don't pry it up and down, you pry it to the right."
"Huh, it really is?"
"Then turn it clockwise a few times, and you'll find it can't be opened. At that point, just use brute force to pull it up."
"Ha! Young man, you're really something! Just as I thought!"
Shi Shi's face was already turning pale; her father really did like to be the center of attention as always.
The count, preoccupied with the wine, failed to realize the inappropriateness in Jiang Xiao's words.
But the Countess was already frowning when she saw Jiang Xiao.
This kid has a big problem.
When the count finally managed to unscrew the enormous barrel lid, he was completely dumbfounded.
"This, this, this."
What the hell is in this barrel of wine?
Two unconscious servants?
The count stared wide-eyed, then proceeded to rub the back of his head in a very unseemly manner.
What's the matter?
Were they the ones who stole the wine?
impossible.
Thirteen and Fourteen didn't like drinking to begin with, and judging from their current state, they had clearly been knocked unconscious.
The person who knocked them unconscious was most likely the thief who stole the wine!
"Dad, when you knocked them out, did they see your face?"
Faced with Shi Shi's question, Jiang Xiao revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.
Not only did they see it, the three of them also chatted back and forth for quite a while.
Chapter 512 is like this
"I"
Jiang Xiao hesitated, because he felt that killing the two maids now seemed to be more cost-effective.
If we kill them both, then no one will know who put them in the barrel, right?
"I have to admit, killing the maid is a good idea. How do you plan to do it?"
