While chatting along the way, the two people finally arrived at the storehouse’s main area. Eldest Sister indicated for Suo Jia to wait for a bit, then used the keys to enter the main entrance of the storehouse.
When the two thick and heavy doors opened, an enormous underground world appeared before Suo Jia. The first scene that he saw was a huge hall that could easily fit a thousand people inside. The hall was filled with pillars of gold and jade. This area was already 20+ meters below the ground, and because the lake was right above, the place would have collapsed ages ago without sufficient underlying support.
Within the hall were some wooden shelves. Although the wooden shelves were currently empty, Suo Jia could imagine that these shelves were originally packed with wine jugs. After the wines had all been consumed, only emptiness was left on the shelves.
Seeing the chaotic surroundings, Suo Jia wrinkled his brows, “This place is both messy and dirty. When you’re free, find people to come clean it up; otherwise it cannot be used.”
Smiling, Eldest Sister nodded, “This is no problem. If Young Master desires it, I can immediately find people to clean it up. At the latest, I will be able to get the place cleaned in three days.”
After saying this, Eldest Sister knit her brows and continued, “However, with just us six sisters, I’m afraid we will not be able to clean such a large area. Therefore, tomorrow I will hire some workers to come clean it. If Young Master wants to use it for a long period of time, I recommend Young Master to personally go purchase or hire some maids to maintain this place in the future.”
Suo Jia nodded, however as he had not yet decided whether or not he would use this place, he did not reply, and simply continued to stroll around the large space. Honestly, being in such a large space alone would actually be slightly frightening. Although all of this was in accordance to what Suo Jia had requested, he was still a bit reluctant to come here regularly.
After touring the area for a bit, Suo Jia had finally finished examining the space. This large area was about 1000 square feet. The surrounding walls split into hundreds of storage rooms. The rooms were not large, and could fit about two large wooden shelves, which were probably used to store wine jugs.
While Suo Jia was observing this, Eldest Sister laughed, “If Young Master had not reminded me of this, I would have completely forgotten about it. Even though the majority of the wines have already been brought out and consumed, there should still be some left over right now. I’m not completely sure of the exact amounts; Young Master should come check them out with me!”
Hearing about the remaining wines, Suo Jia could not help but get excited. Since he was so young, he had not yet drank wine before. He wanted to try and experience what wine tasted like. Now that he not only had wine, but extremely expensive wine at his disposal, Suo Jia definitely had to taste it.
Quickly walking to one of the rooms in the corner, he opened the room’s door. Suddenly, a space of approximately 100 meters appeared before Suo Jia’s eyes. Within the room there were rows and rows of shelves, and on top of those shelves were wine barrels the size of a human head. Roughly estimating, there were perhaps a thousand barrels!
The wine jugs there were not the same as those sold outside. The ones sold outside could fit ten of these wine jugs inside them. If all of the wine in this room was added together, it would be equivalent to only 10 barrels of wine bought from the outside.
“I was right after all, there really is some left over. Although there isn’t much here, these are all top quality wines costing in the thousands!” Seeing the room full of wine, Eldest Sister excitedly shouted.
Glancing at Eldest Sister with hesitation, Suo Jia asked, “What? Are these wines that expensive? That can’t be, these were brewed from grain right?”
Rolling her eyes at Suo Jia, Eldest sister rebuked, “Young Master, rare things will always be more expensive. This wine originates from the west, making it terribly expensive; after all, we are in the east. Young Master, think about it: If these jugs of wine were not precious, would the owner build such a large cellar underneath a lake for them?”
Completely indulged in the wooden barrels, Eldest sister delightedly said, “You shouldn’t look down on the small size of these barrels; the price of one barrel is not something that a normal person can afford! In actuality, just one small bottle of this can sell for at least ten thousand gold!”
Arriving at this point, Eldest Sister’s eyes suddenly lit up. She clapped her hands loudly together and said, “I know what to do! I was worried that we wouldn’t have any luxury products to enhance the style and taste of our beautification center. Now it’s no longer a problem; with wine like this, even if we wanted to deny that we were a luxury center, we wouldn’t b
