"Ladies, don't worry. Even if Old Third doesn't have enough money, I, the Fatty, brought some cash as well, so don't worry about it."

The sidekick, Fatty, also chimed in with a smile.

Ordering food was just a small interlude. After placing the order, the waitress left.

"By the way, Dong Ling, how did you and Qin Yang meet?"

Yang Shirui immediately asked, full of curiosity.

"Well..."

Lin Dongling's face turned slightly red, as she wasn't used to lying. She glanced at Qin Yang, somewhat at a loss.

"Uh, I met her while traveling to Celestial Sea City."

Qin Yang had no choice but to answer.

"You met while traveling? That's amazing, to have met my beautiful Dong Ling..."

Yao Qi said with a laugh.

"It's all thanks to Old Third meeting Dong Ling's little sister; otherwise, we wouldn't have met you guys."

The sidekick, Fatty, chuckled.

"Xia Yue, how is your skin so good? Your face shape is also attractive, definitely a sign of good fortune."

Pei Tong targeted the charming Xia Yue and said.

"Is it?"

"Of course it is, Xia Yue. I can read palms too, ahem. If you don't mind, I can read yours."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yue's face immediately flushed red.

"Geez, Tong, your moves are pretty quick. Actually, I'm quite good at reading palms too..."

"..."

At that moment, everyone excitedly started chatting again.

After more than twenty minutes, a total of eight electric grill pans were served, some sprinkled with red hot pepper, some with king oyster mushrooms, and others with various vegetables, the aroma instantly wafting around.

The drinks were also brought to the table, along with a bottle of Immortal Orange Wine, presented on a tray by the waitress.

"Is this the Immortal Orange Wine?"

Everyone at the table had their eyes on the bottle of Immortal Orange Wine.

Qin Yang's eyes also narrowed slightly. The wine was encased in a transparent glass box, inside was the Immortal Orange Wine with a golden-red bottle.

On the front of the bottle, three elegant characters spelled "Immortal Orange Wine," and below that, in smaller print, it said "Produced by Feipu Manor," with the rest being simple gold-red ancient patterns.

The appearance of this wine bottle was almost identical to the packaging of genuine Immortal Orange Wine.

Right then, Qin Yang opened the wine inside. A faint fragrance drifted out, but the scent was quite weak, vastly inferior to genuine Immortal Orange Wine.

"Still smells pretty good."

Pei Tong and the others perked up and said.

However, at that moment, Qin Yang's brows furrowed tightly, with a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

Qin Yang requested some glasses from the waitress and poured each person a drink.

The glasses contained a light red liquid, emitting a faint aroma.

"Hehe, I'll taste this Immortal Orange Wine too. Let's all drink to the ladies getting even more beautiful."

Fatty's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

Qin Yang lifted his glass, took a sip, and his expression suddenly darkened.

Indeed, this was diluted Immortal Orange Wine, diluted twenty times over.

Genuine Immortal Orange Wine was rich and aromatic, capable of intoxicating without being too strong. This diluted version had an alcohol content lower than even beer.

Thus, the creator of this fake wine had mixed in some high-proof alcohol, making the taste only slightly retain the fruit and vegetable scent.

"It's alright, but it's a bit too expensive."

After drinking, Lu Dongshan smacked his lips and said.

The others nodded in agreement.

"This wine doesn't seem like the Immortal Orange Wine I tried before. A month ago, I secretly tasted my dad's Immortal Orange Wine, and it wasn't this flavor. That taste was much better, sweet and rich, and I still remember it."

Fatty savored it carefully and suddenly said.

"Hmm? Fatty, do you mean this is fake?"

Yao Qi blinked and asked.

She was a girl and naturally not interested in alcohol, but she had heard of Immortal Orange Wine's reputation. If this was the taste, the fame seemed a bit exaggerated.

"Uh... I don't really know."

Fatty paused, scratching his head, and said.

The waitress was still around, and he didn't know much about alcohol, so he couldn't directly accuse them of selling fake wine.

"Yes, this is indeed fake wine. Genuine Immortal Orange Wine doesn't go for three thousand per bottle and doesn't taste like this."

Qin Yang nodded and said solemnly.

This batch was heavily watered down and mixed with other high-proof alcohol, destroying the original Immortal Orange Wine flavor, leaving only a faint scent that differentiated it from other wines.

"Excuse me, could you please ask your boss to come over? I have some questions for them."

Qin Yang turned to the waitress and said.

"Is there something I did wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the waitress was a bit hesitant.

"It's not about you. Please go ahead, I have something to discuss with your boss."

Qin Yang said.

"Oh, okay."

Hearing it had nothing to do with herself, the waitress nodded. Two minutes later, she brought over a well-maintained middle-aged woman, who appeared quite competent with a decent demeanor.

"Students, is there something you need?"

The middle-aged woman asked.

"Boss, I want to ask where you sourced this Immortal Orange Wine from?"

Qin Yang asked directly.

"Why, is there an issue with our wine? We sourced our Immortal Orange Wine from a distributor, quality assured."

The middle-aged woman was taken aback and said.

"Quality assured? From what I know, there are only two authentic Immortal Orange Wines. One is the Ordinary Level, at least thirty thousand per bottle, and the other is the Special Level, no less than a hundred thousand per bottle. Is this three-thousand per bottle Immortal Orange Wine real?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Thirty thousand per bottle, a hundred thousand per bottle?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dongling and the others all looked at Qin Yang, obviously surprised by the pricing.

Qin Yang's Immortal Orange Wine was initially targeted at high-end consumers, and given that Lin Dongling and her friends were students, it was normal for them not to know much about it.

"Yes, Old Third is right. I heard from my dad as well. Those few bottles of Immortal Orange Wine he saved, two of them were Special Level, costing over two hundred thousand, and the three Ordinary Level ones cost over thirty thousand each."

Fatty nodded in agreement.

"Students, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. The prices you mentioned were indeed the original prices of Immortal Orange Wine. However, they then introduced a new product, which is what you're drinking now. Several hotels nearby sell this wine, and it's quite popular."

Hearing Qin Yang and Fatty's words, the middle-aged woman said with a smile.
