Wu Zhanggui burst into hearty laughter and, gesturing towards an elderly man with snow-white hair beside him, said, "May I ask Master Lian to help taste and verify if it's genuine!"
Master Lian was a somewhat recognized figure in Lian'an Town. He was a wine-tasting master who had recently returned from the capital city, where he was a frequent guest of the nobility. For wine, there's no one more authoritative than him.
Everyone naturally held a lot of respect for him.
Master Lian stroked his beard and exclaimed with enthusiasm, "I can personally vouch that this is indeed grape wine! Such a fine brew is truly rare!"
This statement caused an uproar: "For real!?"
"Indeed, for real!"
Shopkeeper Wu, filled with pride, said: "You think I dare tarnish the hundred-year-old reputation of Gui Lin Residence? If this wine was a fake, it would mean shooting myself in the foot. Therefore, if Gui Lin Residence took it out, then this wine is definitely genuine!"
