I tell you, no one's wine is better than
0:25
blissful retreats. I'll be here for
0:28
drunken immortal month, drinking from
0:30
the first day to the last.
0:34
I'll stay as long as I can. What with
0:37
the roads being so dangerous this year,
0:40
they make me a nervous wreck.
0:43
You southern road merchants don't know
0:45
how good you got it. Try going north to
0:48
Yin. At best, you lose your money. At
0:58
Southern Road. Which southern road? Have
1:00
you been to Wayong City?
1:03
Well, young master. Hello there. I'm
1:05
heading east. Passing right through Yong
1:08
City. Is Blissful Retreat looking to do
1:12
Business? No. No. I've just never been
1:15
there. Curious, that's all.
1:18
Well, I'm not much of a talker, but
1:20
people say Wei Yang makes the world
1:23
prosper. In Wei Yang City, I saw shops
1:27
filled with exotic goods and tea houses
1:29
and taverns full of people decked in
1:34
It's truly a place of silk, flowers, and
1:37
honey. On the water platforms at street
1:40
corners, they even offer dried fruits,
1:43
fresh fruits, salted sours, and
1:46
preserves. All changed daily and never a
1:49
one missing. And it's all free.
1:52
Free? Who pays for those fruits? Surely
1:56
not every household in the city can
1:58
afford such generosity.
2:00
Have you forgotten who owns Wei Yang
2:10
Ah, you mean master when?
2:13
Exactly. Master one. His way city stands
2:17
on water. Decorated doors, gates,
2:21
towers, and pavilions, all rising from
2:24
vast waves. Blue skies, and distant
2:27
waters as far as the eye can see. Such
2:31
is the majesty of the foremost of the
2:35
H. Since when did the for get ranked?
2:39
Merchant fools only smell money.
2:43
I don't care what the Jangoo says.
2:46
That's how we see it. Last year at Wei
2:48
Yang City's water festival, a woman
2:51
stole a golden cup from Master 1's
2:53
banquet and wouldn't let go. She told
2:55
Master One she sneaked out to see the
2:57
ember of East. Now that she had, she
3:01
needed proof or her husband would beat
3:04
And guess what happened?
3:07
No need to guess. Just tell us. H.
3:10
Master one had all the golden cups from
3:12
the banquet thrown into the water for
3:14
people to take. The water sparkled with
3:17
floating gold. Real gold. All of it.
3:24
Such a generous and righteous man. Of
3:27
course, he's the foremost of the four.
3:30
Ah, if only I'd been there, I'd have a
3:33
family treasure by now. H,
3:36
if Wayiong City is so wonderful, why are
3:39
you here in Heaven's Pier? Well, some
3:42
are born to live there, others to run
3:44
merchant routes. What can you do?
3:48
Heaven's Pier is nice, too. Not many
3:51
places left where you can live in peace.
3:55
So, young master, sell me a hundred jars
3:58
of parting tears today, and next year I
4:01
guarantee you can open a second inn in
4:05
You'd have to take that up without Han.
4:07
For now, you all enjoy our drinks.
