Good Wine

As soon as the jar was opened, the special aroma hit everyone's nostrils, and all the people who hadn't noticed it before sniffed deeply.

"What kind of wine is this? It smells so good. No, I have to drink more today!"

Reuben Taylor, who had tasted numerous fine wines in his life, immediately rushed to the jar.

"Nice, it really smells good!" Charles Carter also chimed in with praise.

Seeing Reuben about to pour the wine, Peter quickly intervened, "Reuben, this wine has strong medicinal properties; it's not for drinking here. Bring it home and drink it there!"

"What? Drink it at home?" Reuben stared at Peter in amazement. "You brought us this wine but insist that we drink it at home?"

Alex Williams was also unhappy and loudly said, "That's ridiculous! It's mealtime now. We should be drinking now. How can you ask us to go home and drink it?"

Peter sheepishly explained, "The thing is, I've had this wine before, and after I drank it, I had to soak in the river for two hours to neutralize its effects. A small glass is potent enough."

"What?" Hearing Peter's explanation, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Is it really that strong?" Reuben exclaimed.

Peter awkwardly said, "Actually, I wanted to ask you guys to try this jar of wine for me. If it's good, I'm hoping you can help me promote it."

"Is it really as amazing as you say, and won't it have side effects on our health?" Charles asked.

"It's an ancient recipe, and it has not only no side effects for the human body, but it also has restorative properties." Peter ended up explaining further.

At this point, Daniel Pangbourne, who had been silent the entire time, became intrigued and asked seriously, "Really?"

Peter replied, "Do you think I would deceive you guys?"

"Alright then, pour me a glass!"

Seeing that Peter wanted to stop him, Daniel waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything else. If it's really what you claim, we should easily be able to handle it. Cheers!"

Alex also laughed, "Indeed, cheers!"

"If anything happens, don't blame me!" Peter said with a wry smile.

Reuben laughed, "Who would blame you? As long as what you said is true, your wine will be incredible."

With that, Reuben drank the wine in his glass in one swig.

"Good!"

Closing his eyes and savoring the taste, Reuben exclaimed, "This is truly good wine."

By this time, Alex had already finished the wine in his glass and was also savoring the taste with his eyes closed, never opening them.

Peter scratched his head, realizing that these people were only becoming more excited and didn't heed his advice.

However, considering that the wine itself was a kind of vital energy wine, he wasn't too worried about them ruining their health by drinking it.

At this point, Daniel drank a bowl of wine directly.

"Not bad, it's good wine!" Daniel praised.

Seeing the table full of vegetables, Peter, who had been walking all morning, was also hungry. He decided not to worry about the others and focused on filling his own stomach, so he started eating voraciously.

"Peter, won't you have a glass?" Reuben saw that Peter wasn't drinking the wine and asked.

With a wry smile, Peter responded, "I think I'll pass. This wine is really potent."

"That's what makes it good. I don't feel anything."

The moment Reuben finished speaking, his face suddenly changed.

Looking at the other people who had drunk the wine, their faces had changed similarly.

Daniel's expression was particularly intense, his eyes wide and full of surprise.

"Charles, do you have somewhere we can... go?" Daniel asked directly.

At that moment, Charles's face changed, and he said to the group, "Follow me."

Then he looked at Peter Brown and asked, "Peter, are you coming?"

Peter shook his head hurriedly, "I'm eating."

"Alright!"

Without saying more, they all left directly.

Peter wasn't completely clueless, and he understood that they were going to do something sneaky. In his mind, he couldn't help but picture Mrs. Collins voluptuous body, so he shook his head and continued eating vigorously.

As he looked at the wine, Peter couldn't help but smile, thinking that it must have some effect; otherwise, those people wouldn't have run off so quickly.

He hoped that they could help him sell the wine at a good price.

Originally, Peter wanted to sell the wine to make money directly. On his way here, he had thought about how no one would spend money on something unknown. Therefore, his current plan was to treat these influential prison figures to a taste, hoping that they could help promote his product and get it sold.

Having finished his meal, Peter sat there, drinking tea and waiting for everyone to come out.

Time passed little by little, and Charles was the first to return.

As soon as Charles entered, he set his eyes on the jar of wine and grabbed it, saying to Peter, "I want this wine. Name your price."

Just as Peter was about to speak, Daniel also came in and saw the jar in front of Charles. He quickly said, "I want the wine. I'll give you a million dollars. It's mine."

He wanted to buy the wine for a million dollars directly.

Today was probably one of the most uplifting days Daniel had experienced in years. The refreshing sensation he felt just now was something that he hadn't had in a long time. He never thought that this wine could be so potent, to the point of even making his vital energy feel more abundant, without any discomfort.

Peter was taken aback, his eyes wide as he looked at Daniel. He knew the wine was good, but he didn't expect Daniel to bid so high for it.

"Daniel, I called it first, and I'm also offering a million dollars," Charles argued.

The two men began to bicker.

During their dispute, Alex hurriedly walked in and seeing the wine in front of Charles, said with a change of expression, "I want that wine."

The quarreling continued when Reuben, looking radiant, walked in and said to Peter, "Great wine, Peter. You don't just have one jar, do you? No doubt, this is some good wine, and I can help you get it sold no matter the quantity."

The arguing men only then remembered that Peter had come to ask for their help in promoting the wine, so they turned their attention to him.

Peter glanced at everyone and said, "This is indeed good wine. I can prepare some more, and the effect will be the same. However, it's not worth the high price Daniel is offering. If you need it, I can go back and prepare a jar for each of you, so there's no need to fight over it."

Daniel shook his head, "Peter, let me be honest. That issue has always been a thorn in my side, but today you helped me handle it. I'm grateful, man! If it hadn't been for my own mistake back then, my wife wouldn't have left me for another man. I swear, I had said in prison that I would pay any amount of money as long as someone could help me out. Peter, don't refuse this one million dollars. To me, it's worth it!"

Reuben laughed, "Daniel's right. This wine's value depends on the person: priceless for some and worthless for others. Peter, don't say no to the money. We know how things are at home for you. Besides, we have the money, and it's not just about helping you in this matter. We can use this product to expand our connections and take advantage of the situation."

Charles nodded, "Peter, here's the deal: you handle the wine production, and we will manage the rest. We'll distribute the profits later. What do you think?"

Peter agreed, "Alright, no problem. However, keep in mind that there will only be a limited quantity since the herbs are scarce."

"That's fine. Whatever we can get will be good enough."

Daniel looked at the jar of wine.

As soon as they knew that Peter could prepare more wine, Charles pushed the jar to Daniel, "I know you want it. Here, it's yours."

Daniel laughed and took out a bank card, handing it to Peter. "This is my payment for preordering one jar."

When the others wanted to pay, Peter quickly shook his head and said, "I don't need that much money. You can pay me when I've prepared the wine."
