Chapter 1444 - 726: Quick and Decisive
"What kind of wine is it? I’ve never even heard of this historic wine before, could it be fake?"
Seeing someone mention fake wine, the wine connoisseurs in front of the screen immediately started typing furiously to vehemently criticize.
"Such ignorance! If you don’t know, don’t speak carelessly. This wine used to be exclusively reserved for royalty overseas. Although it has been released to the public now, its price is exorbitant! Especially this vintage—it could be worth several downtown apartments!"
"Wow! Truly an eye-opener!"
The program’s director was also drawn to the scene, and after careful research, he concluded that all the wines in this cellar were genuine. All things considered, this wine cellar is estimated to be worth several million.
The owner of this wine cellar must be incredibly wealthy!
The viewers in the live stream thought so too; it’s truly astounding to witness such level of opulence! So extravagant!
At this moment, the director was more worried than shocked; a crowd of people squeezing in here—what if a bottle accidentally gets broken? How much would it cost to compensate?
But the live stream audience was at an all-time high; should they continue anyway...
After some inner conflict, he quietly signaled to the host through the earpiece: No matter the cost, start introducing to the live stream viewers the wines in the cabinet from the left, categorized by type.
The host nodded to indicate understanding, while the director’s voice came through the earpiece: Be very careful, do not break anything!
"I wonder if our friends in the live stream would be interested in learning about the types of wine in this cellar? If you’re interested, please type ’1’ in the bullet comments so I can see how many are interested."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bullet comments flooded with ’1’s.
The director was overjoyed with the spike in popularity and asked to pull back the treasure-hunting host who was basking in the wine aroma over there.
"Wait! Don’t move, let me smell that again!" The treasure-hunting host stubbornly refused to let go; he seemed like he was yearning to savor the wine through the bottle.
He was completely entranced.
The director’s team couldn’t bear it and sent two people over to drag him away.
The host hadn’t anticipated finding such a vast wine cellar filled with so many wines in what seemed like a plain residence!
He Xiufen didn’t understand why they were staying inside for so long and hurriedly asked what was going on.
At this moment, the host was even more respectful towards He Xiufen, asking if she knew the types and prices of wines in her wine cellar.
"Are you talking about the wines inside? I know we have a wine cellar at home, but I’ve never been inside; it’s usually tended by my husband."
Meaning she was clueless.
The host clearly didn’t believe her response.
Such a large wine cellar, so many wines, such expensive prices...
"So you’re saying you know the price range of the wines your husband buys?"
The host handed the microphone to He Xiufen.
He Xiufen didn’t understand why the question was asked, and innocently replied: "Yeah, my husband and I often buy bulk from the supermarket in town."
Bulk...
The host was at a loss for words.
Not just the host, but the viewers in the live stream were stunned upon hearing "bulk purchase," gaping in shock and unable to speak.
"It’s very cheap, a few dozen yuan per kilogram, the more expensive ones are just over a hundred yuan per kilogram. My husband enjoys drinking wine."
Such casual, slightly odd phrasing sometimes inflicts the deepest shock.
"This beauty not only scores high on looks, but she also loves joking huh."
"A few dozen yuan? Must be kidding? It should be hundreds of thousands!"
"This is too pretentious..."
Now, none of the live stream viewers believed He Xiufen’s statement about the wine being "cheap"; clearly, they were extraordinarily expensive.
After exiting the wine cellar, He Xiufen felt something off about the way everyone looked at her but didn’t think much of it, since her home didn’t have anything valuable anyway.
After checking out the wine cellar, everyone returned to the room; after a break, the treasure-hunting host, with He Xiufen’s consent, continued the exploration.
Wang Dachuan asked the cameraman to come forward while he himself was crouching, sticking his rear up high as if performing a grand ceremony.
"No, no, it’s not New Year’s yet, why are you kneeling? Want a rocket? Call me daddy and I’ll give you a tip!"
Laughter filled the live stream, and even the host couldn’t figure out what Wang Dachuan was up to.
"Come over here, look at this!" Wang Dachuan was excited, his cheeks quivering.
"Camera, look over here!" Seeing the cameraman unmoving, he ended up dragging him over, pointing the camera at the ground.
While fiddling, he excitedly said, "Dear viewers, I’ve just discovered something incredible; everyone, hold your breath as I reveal it to you shortly."
He even started his own script, taking out a flashlight from his bag and shining it on the ground.
The ground was flawless jade, clear and lustrous.
"Did everyone see? The spot I just shined on." He gestured for the camera to zoom in once more.
The host also reacted, hurried over, and lay down on the ground like Wang Dachuan, having people shine flashlights on the ground.
The viewers in the live stream were still confused, unsure of what was happening.
"Again, what was that just now?"
"Couldn’t see clearly, what on earth is it? Can’t you just say directly?"
"Isn’t it just a piece of flooring? Making a big fuss, the program team is teasing us."
Arguments filled the live stream; Wang Dachuan pondered and instructed the cameraman to find a clearer angle.
Wang Dachuan once more shined the flashlight on the ground, and now it was clear—the flooring was incredibly crystalline and unbelievably smooth!
"Are there any jade experts among the live stream viewers?" The host’s words caused a commotion in the live stream.
