"Haha, not bad."

Qin Yang chuckled. Since he hadn't ordered any drinks earlier, he naturally accepted everything that came his way without hesitation.

"So this is the 1982 Lafite, huh? Doesn't taste that great."

Pouring the red wine into a wine glass, Qin Yang took a sip, furrowing his brows slightly. The wine in this world is far inferior compared to that of the Immortal Yuan Continent.

"Nowadays, genuine 1982 Lafite is mostly stored by collectors and in private cellars; what you find in the market is hardly the real thing."

Ling Xiaoyu also took a sip and said.

"Qin Yang, my grandpa's cellar might have a few bottles of 1982 Lafite; if you want, I can get them from him."

Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"No need. Someday I'll brew wine myself or simply set up a winery, and let the two of you drink. Earth's wine isn't just bad, it's really terrible."

Qin Yang shook his head and said.

"Bragging..."

Ling Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.

However, Xinxue was not actually skeptical. She had tasted Qin Yang's medicinal cuisine, which was incredibly delicious. If Qin Yang claims he can brew exquisite wine, Xinxue believes it's possible.

"Really? Then I'll be waiting."

Ruan Xinxue giggled and said.

"Xinxue, you're not falling for this guy, are you? How can you believe everything he says?" Ling Xiaoyu asked in surprise, glancing at Ruan Xinxue beside her.

Hearing this, Qin Yang almost spat out his wine. His eyes darted to Ruan Xinxue; her figure, looks, and personality were impeccable. Having Ruan Xinxue as a girlfriend didn't seem bad at all.

"You brat, what nonsense are you saying?"

Ruan Xinxue's face turned red instantly, glaring at Ling Xiaoyu.

"You haven't tried Qin Yang's medicinal cuisine. If you had, you'd know it's really delicious. If he says he can brew the best wine, there's no reason not to believe him."

"Oh? Is it really that good?" Ling Xiaoyu asked doubtfully.

"Yes, of course." Ruan Xinxue nodded affirmatively.

Ling Xiaoyu still didn't believe it, so the two girls began to bicker playfully.

While they were teasing each other, Kang Wuchi approached with a glass of red wine, followed closely by Zhu Facai.

"Ladies, may I introduce myself? I'm Kang Wuchi." Kang Wuchi asked elegantly, holding his wine.

However, as soon as Kang Wuchi spoke, the two girls burst into laughter.

"Kang Wuchi? Poor kid, what kind of name is that?"

Qin Yang's lips curved into a smile.

Kang Wuchi's face stiffened, his wine glass shaking in hand. He had long wanted to change his ridiculous name, but unfortunately, his old man wouldn't allow it.

"This is the son of the city's housing director, Mr. Kang. He gifted these wines."

Zhu Facai hurriedly stepped forward to introduce.

"Haha, you are quite generous."

Ling Xiaoyu giggled and said.

"Just a few bottles of wine, it's nothing."

Kang Wuchi puffed up his chest, smiling.

Hearing this, Zhu Facai sighed inwardly; of course Kang Wuchi didn't think much of it since it was actually Zhu who paid for the wines. But naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to ruin Kang's reputation.

"It's our first meeting, and I have something else I'd like to gift these beautiful ladies."

Kang Wuchi said with joy, as he opened the redwood box in his hand and took out the two green jade bracelets.

"These are glass-type full-green bracelets, befitting only ladies as lovely as yourselves," Kang Wuchi smiled.

"Glass-type full-green?"

Ling Xiaoyu glanced at the two green jade bracelets, her eyebrows raised.

Many diners around had started noticing, and some gasped in astonishment; glass-type full-green jadeite was often heard of but rarely seen. Giving away such expensive jadeite casually indicated serious wealth.

Although Kang Wuchi didn't understand jadeite, he enjoyed the attention he garnered.

Ling Xiaoyu picked up a bracelet and inspected it in the light, then chuckled.

"Mind if I ask how much you spent on these two bracelets?"

Ling Xiaoyu asked smilingly, looking at Kang Wuchi.

"Haha, not much; I got them at a friend's friendly price, just fifty-eight thousand for both."

Kang Wuchi responded casually, as though the price of the jadeite meant little to him.

"You got two glass-type full-green jadeite bracelets for fifty-eight thousand? Your friend sure is generous."

Hearing Kang Wuchi's words, Qin Yang also chuckled and praised.

"It's nothing."

Kang Wuchi laughed, glancing at Qin Yang, thinking he seemed less offensive now, though unsure about his relationship with the two beauties.

"If you ladies fancy them, please accept."

Kang Wuchi addressed Ruan Xinxue and Ling Xiaoyu.

"Haha, we can't accept such a grand gift, but since you gave us wine, I don't mind telling you these two jade bracelets are mix-grade B plus C goods." Ling Xiaoyu laughed.

"Mix-grade B plus C goods? What's mix-grade B plus C goods?"

Kang Wuchi was stunned; he knew nothing about jadeite and had never heard of such terms.

"Simply explained, B goods are low-grade jadeite treated with strong acid to remove impurities, then added with transparent resin for clarity,"

"C goods are jadeite processed with artificial dyes, and mix-grade B plus C combines the two." Ling Xiaoyu explained with laughter.

"You mean to say these jade bracelets are fake?"

Kang Wuchi didn't quite grasp the B and C concepts, but understood Ling Xiaoyu's implication.

"In jadeite, untreated jadeite is called A goods, and only A goods can be considered real jadeite."

"B and C goods are inferior jadeite made by merchants to deceive buyers; long-term wear of acid-bleached jadeite is harmful to health." Ling Xiaoyu said.

"Impossible, how can such beautiful bracelets be fake? These were bought with... no, Mr. Kang paid fifty-eight thousand for them."

Zhu Facai wiped sweat from his forehead, clearly understanding Ling Xiaoyu's point.

"Haha, genuine glass-type full-green jadeite bracelets start at tens of millions per piece, and flawless ones are even pricier. If you paid fifty-eight million for them, then they might be real." Ling Xiaoyu laughed.

"Huh?"

Kang Wuchi's face darkened, looking at Zhu Facai. Presenting fake jadeite in public was a huge embarrassment.

"Oh, trying to act wealthy with fake jadeite, huh."

"Didn't expect this girl to know so much; she seems like an expert."

"..."

Comments rose from the surrounding crowd.

"How can you prove they're fake?"

Under Kang Wuchi's gaze, Zhu Facai nervously wiped his forehead, a bit frantic.

"Telling you to check color and refraction won't help, but you can try tapping; real glass-type jadeite produces a crisp sound, while B and C goods sound dull." Ling Xiaoyu suggested.

Ling Xiaoyu's method was quite straightforward; like the saying "big and small pearls falling on a jade tray," describing the crisp sound of jade.

Zhu Facai nodded, somewhat believing Ling Xiaoyu. He picked up the two jade bracelets and knocked them together lightly.

"Hum."

Indeed, as Ling Xiaoyu said, they emitted a rather muffled sound, not the crisp ring of authentic jade artifacts.

Zhu Facai's face turned exceptionally gloomy, his hands trembling as he collided them again.
