Chapter 133: The Smell of Wine
On the afternoon of the third day, Shi Lin and Shi An stood under a city wall. Lin Kun's caravan stopped outside the city, and some caravan members went into the city to replenish their supplies.
"Young friend Shi Lin, I'll leave you here. I'll come back here in half a month and return to Notting City via this road. We'll go back together then," Lin Kun said earnestly to Shi Lin and Shi An.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lin!" Shi Lin bowed slightly to Lin Kun to express his gratitude.
"I have to go to the next city, so I'll take my leave now. See you in half a month." Lin Kun nodded to Shi Lin, then turned and left.
Lin Kun and Shi Zhen only had a business relationship, and Lin Kun didn't know anyone in the area, so he didn't offer Shi Lin any help.
"Mr. Lin, see you in two weeks!" Shi Lin waved and smiled at Lin Kun.
After watching Lin Kun walk away with the caravan, Shi Lin waved to Shi An.
"Let's go, Brother An, let's go into the city! We've been through so much in the past three days, we need to get some rest." Shi Lin smiled and waved to Shi An, then led him into the city in front of them.
After paying the entrance fee of two silver soul coins, Shi Lin and Shi An entered the city.
"Young Master, their architecture and clothing are so different from those in Notting City," Shi An asked Shi Lin curiously.
"Of course, our country and this country are two different countries, so the customs and habits are naturally different. Let's rest here for the night, and go to the city lord's mansion early tomorrow morning to get the Soul Hunting Token, and then go hunt soul beasts." Shi Lin said to Shi An with a smile.
"Alright, young master!" Shi An nodded.
After touring the city, Shi Lin took Shi An to a hotel and they checked in.
Since this was an overseas trip, Shi Lin made many preparations in advance.
After returning to his room, Shi Lin took out a map of Sachi City and quickly found the location of the Soul Hunting Forest that he wanted to go to.
"Not bad, not too far." Shi Lin stroked his chin and muttered to himself as he looked at the location on the map.
After a quick wash, Shi Lin went to bed to rest.
After spending three days in the carriage, Shi Lin felt as if his legs had shrunk.
Lin Kun was still wary of Shi Lin taking control of his trade routes, which were his livelihood.
...
The next day at noon.
Shi Lin held the Soul Hunting Token in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"This is too easy!" Shi Lin looked at the Soul Hunting Token in his hand in disbelief.
Just now, Shi Lin tested his soul power outside the city lord's mansion in Sachi City. He paid 1,000 gold soul coins, and the city lord of Sachi City issued him a Soul Hunting Token.
The process went exceptionally smoothly, so smoothly that Shi Lin felt it was unreal.
"Young Master, isn't it good that everything went smoothly?" Shi An asked, scratching his head in confusion.
"Okay, of course, but it's already noon. If we set off now, we probably won't reach the Soul Hunting Forest until tonight. Let's explore Sachi City today and then set off tomorrow morning," Shi Lin said, shaking his head at Shi An.
"Alright, young master!" Shi An nodded without hesitation.
Shi Lin glanced helplessly at Shi An, then turned and left the city lord's mansion with Shi An, and began to stroll around Sachi City.
Sachi City was, after all, a city of the Star Luo Empire, so although Shi Lin had gathered some information beforehand, he hadn't found out much useful information.
The two of them strolled along the street.
As a city of the Star Luo Empire, Sachi City has many products that have never been seen in Notting City.
This might be because the two countries don't do much business together, or perhaps Notting City is a remote city, which is why Shi Lin felt there were many things here that he had never seen before.
Shi Lin and Shi An strolled around Sachi City, then purchased a batch of various fruits, vegetables, seeds, saplings, etc.
Buy everything that Shi Lin has never seen before.
These items are quite basic, so buying them only cost less than one gold soul coin.
Suddenly, Shi Lin stopped and looked around.
"Brother An, can you smell the aroma of wine?" Shi Lin asked Shi An behind him.
Shi An also took a careful sniff.
"Young Master! It smells so good! There's a faint scent of pine in the wine." Shi An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly.
"Let's go take a look, maybe this is something good." Shi Lin's eyes lit up. It seemed that he hadn't misjudged the smell. Then he led Shi An, following the scent of wine, toward the wine shop.
If the quality of this wine is extremely high, it may be able to be used to create a top-grade wine gu. Moreover, judging from the appearance, this wine should be brewed.
If brewing were possible, the Shi family could produce an endless supply of their exquisite wine jars.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Lin finally found the wine stall.
At this moment, an old man with a full head of white hair, leading a six or seven-year-old boy, was pushing a small cart with four wine jars on it.
Shi Lin recognized it at a glance; the aroma of the wine was emanating from this wine jar.
"Old man, is there any more wine?" Shi Lin stepped forward, came to the old man, and asked him with a smile.
"Young Master, they're all sold out." Seeing Shi Lin's excited expression, the old man gave him a bright smile and said in a hoarse voice.
"Sir, how much are your drinks? I'd like to order some," Shi Lin asked the old man.
"One jin of wine, one silver soul coin!" the old man said to Shi Lin.
"Give me ten catties." Shi Lin took out ten silver soul coins and handed them to the old man.
"Well... young masters, how about this, come with me to my house, and I'll personally serve you both wine." The old man glanced at the silver soul coins in Shi Lin's hand and hesitated before speaking.
"May I ask your name, sir?" Shi Lin stepped forward and asked.
"I am Du Yunqing, and this is my grandson, Du Ming." Du Yunqing glanced at his grandson beside him and gave a faint smile.
"Hello, Grandpa Du, my name is Shi Lin, and this is my brother, Shi An. Thank you for taking me to get the wine," Shi Lin said with a smile to Du Yunqing.
"Young masters, come with me." Du Yunqing, his body hunched over, dragged the cart and led his grandson toward the outskirts of Sachi City.
"Brother An," Shi Lin said to Shi An.
"Grandpa, let me do it." Shi An put the cart on his back and quickly dragged it away.
"This...this..." Du Yunqing looked at Shi Lin, somewhat at a loss.
"It's alright, my brother's martial soul is a rhinoceros, he's very strong," Shi Lin said with a smile.
This amount of weight was negligible to Shi An.
Du Yunqing had no choice but to walk outside with Shi Lin.
