Chapter 551 Xu Hao Infiltrates the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce
Wangyuelou offers a wide variety of spirit wines, with various flavors and price points.
If Xu Chu wants to become the winemaker of Wangyue Tower, he needs to ensure that all these spirit wines are brewed without any errors.
Manager Qiu gave him three to five years to research the recipes for these spirit wines.
If Xu Chu were to devote himself entirely to brewing wine, with his skill level, two years would be enough.
Xu Chu, who was used to being low-key and steady, chose to slow down and spent four years thoroughly researching all these wine recipes to ensure that he could brew spirit wine of above-average quality.
Manager Qiu kept his word. After confirming that Xu Chu could brew all the spirit wines that Wangyue Tower needed, he took him to Wangyue Tower, which was considered his official employment.
Xu Chu did not see the brewer who had been stationed here before, but only a few managers of Wangyue Tower and the person responsible for delivering brewing materials and receiving spirit wine to him.
After understanding the situation, Xu Chu couldn't help but sigh that being a winemaker at Wangyuelou was quite a comfortable job.
First of all, they have a high social status, after all, there are only about a hundred brewers in the entire Wangyue Tower.
Secondly, the benefits are good. Spirit wine is one of the foundations of Wangyue Tower, so Wangyue Tower is not stingy with the brewers at all. The authority and salary given are enough to support the daily cultivation of a Saint King Realm expert.
There's also a hidden perk: brewers get a 50% discount on all purchases made at Wangyuelou's own properties.
When introducing this point, Manager Qiu also mentioned that most of the brewers at Wangyuelou were regulars at the brothels, and hinted that Xu Chu could try it out if he had time.
Next, the winemaker doesn't have to worry about anything except brewing wine. Xu Chu can even stay out of sight for decades, as long as he provides the spirit wine regularly.
Xu Chu, who is used to keeping a low profile and being alone, really likes this.
Finally, the work is easy; you only need to brew the required spirit wine within a certain timeframe and meet the standards.
The higher the skill level of the brewer, the faster and easier they can complete this basic task, leaving them with plenty of free time.
It suits Xu Chu well, since he used to be able to freely enter and exit the Azure Dragon Secret Realm.
"If I had known there was such a job, I would have come much sooner."
Of course, Xu Chu only marveled at the comfort of the job in his heart; he still clearly remembered the purpose of his visit.
Manager Qiu explained all the work-related matters to Xu Chu, and then led him to an antique-style courtyard.
"This will be your residence from now on. This is a privilege that only the management of Wangyue Tower can enjoy."
The courtyard is quite large and has abundant spiritual energy, making it one of the courtyards with the most abundant spiritual energy in Wolong City.
All kinds of facilities, buildings and furniture are available, and there are also many maids and servants. Xu Chu can move in immediately with just his bags.
"I should have come to Wolong City sooner," Xu Chu sighed.
Shopkeeper Qiu smiled and said, "Now is the perfect time."
After chatting for a few minutes, Manager Qiu left.
In this way, Xu Chu established himself in Qingzhou as the brewer of Wangyuelou Qingzhou.
There are five Wangyue Tower establishments in Wolong City: Wangyue Restaurant, Wangyue Teahouse, Wangyue Inn, Wangyue Eatery, and a brothel called Wangyue.
Apart from the Wangyuelou Teahouse, the five shops require a large amount of spirit wine every day.
Qingzhou is not only about Wangyue Tower in Wolong City, but also in other major cities, plus all the Wangyue Towers in the nine continental cities near Qingzhou.
Therefore, each batch of spirit wine produced is in massive quantities.
Fortunately, Xu Chu is very capable.
In just three months, they brewed enough spirit wine for all the Moon Gazing Pavilion branches across the ten continents for a year.
Therefore, for Xu Chu, this job only requires him to work three months a year, and he can arrange the remaining nine months as he pleases.
In order to get into the top three in the next brewer assessment at Wangyuelou and win the challenge against the chief brewer.
Xu Chu spent most of the remaining time brewing wine.
Xu Chu, already a master brewer, continues to learn and improve in brewing.
Xu Hao, who has already infiltrated the Sky Chamber of Commerce, is also working hard.
The Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce is stronger overall, making it more difficult to infiltrate. Fortunately, Xu Hao is exceptionally capable, and after some planning, he became a revered member of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce under a new identity.
The members of the Azure Sky Merchant Guild are either exceptionally talented and powerful, or possess outstanding abilities in a particular area, such as alchemy, artifact crafting, array formations, or appraisal.
Xu Hao became a figure revered by the Chamber of Commerce precisely because of his fighting prowess.
The offerings of the Azure Sky Merchant Guild are divided into three categories: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Although being an offering of the Azure Sky Merchant Guild already grants one extremely high status and treatment, there are still significant differences between these three levels.
It's like the difference between inner sect elders, core disciples, and inner sect disciples in a sect.
The Heavenly Offerings are the pillars and foundation of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce; each one is very important to the Chamber.
The Earth-level Offerings are the backbone and future of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce provides them with a large amount of resources and salaries every month to cultivate them.
The offering of the Human Character has some use for the Sky Chamber of Commerce, but it is not that important. The relationship between the Human Character and the Chamber of Commerce is more like an employment relationship; the Human Character is an employee who only receives a monthly salary.
Generally, once a chamber of commerce discovers a talented individual, it will recruit them to become a patron saint.
Therefore, many of the branches of the Sky Chamber of Commerce have "Human" characters for worship. To stand out and become an "Earth" character worshipper, and to gain access to more of the Chamber's management and secrets, one needs to make significant contributions to the Chamber.
After accumulating enough contribution points, there is a final assessment. If you pass the assessment, you can become a Celestial Merchant Guild Earth-level Offering.
Both their status and treatment rose sharply.
As for becoming a top-tier retainer of the Chamber of Commerce, it is extremely difficult. One must either be an Emperor-level expert or reach the master level in a certain field.
After joining the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce, Xu Hao accumulated enough contribution points by using some treasures from the Immortal Realm. Then, relying on his own strength, he successfully passed the assessment and became a Ground-level Venerable of the Azure Sky Chamber of Commerce.
