Chapter 156 - Art of Wine

Julie gritted her teeth in anger and she almost slammed the table when she heard the absurd offer. She glared at Aethelwolf as she took a deep breath before muttering coldly. "You have a big appetite, Sir Aethelwolf. Although, the information you have is very valuable, our Urgel Household will not agree to this. You might have a more sophisticated method of making wine, but our Urgel Household has already been in the wine market for many decades and we have nurtured a lot of talents who are tirelessly researching methods to improve the flavor of our wine. I believe that we would soon discover the secret that you possess. I only came to you in hopes that we can learn the method earlier." She really wanted to punch Aethelwolf's face, but she held back her fury. The man was probably testing her limits and if she shows any weakness, he would use it to his advantage. The number one rule when dealing with merchants was to never display weakness.
