Dozo America

Chapter 84 Illegal Private Brewing

Zhen Fan has been relatively famous in the Hollywood entertainment industry recently. The reason is not because he is good at treating various difficult and complicated diseases. After all, the wealthy people in Hollywood have a very vague attitude towards Chinese medicine. It is not their first choice. They would rather rest in peace.

On the hospital bed equipped with various high-tech equipment, there are all kinds of tubes and instruments.

Zhen Fan is famous for his moonshine wine.

This is a big problem, as moonshine is illegal in the United States.

"Charles, I may be in a little trouble!" When Zhen Fan called Charles Carter, he acted very innocent, "I brewed dozens of bottles of wine... yes... I brewed it myself, I didn't

I don’t know the legal provisions of the United States, but I just immigrated..."

"...Leave it to you, I have to have a license, okay, even if I pay a sum of money for it...I like you, Charles, because you are my lawyer...You deserve my trust...I

I knew you could do it, well, I’m waiting for your good news!”

Zhen Fan talked to lawyer Charles on the phone, and then left this troublesome matter to him, and just waited for him to go to the audit office to sign and get the certificate, but before that, Zhen Fan did not plan to give away the wine.

"Why didn't anyone tell me it was illegal to brew wine?"

This is what Zhen Fan is extremely depressed about. Even Kristen and Zoe, who are close to him, have never mentioned this matter to him.

“Zoe, why didn’t you ever tell me that moonshine was illegal?”

Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhen Fan decided to ask it himself.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Zoe looked at Zhen Fan with a shocked face.

"It's illegal to moonshine, why didn't you tell me?"

Zoe immediately looked bitter and resentful at being wronged by Zhen Fan: "Swear to God, Zhen, I didn't know that private brewing was illegal. Who would make their own wine if they have nothing to do? Except for those who have nothing to do.

Outside!"

Well, this sentence made Zhen Fan become a free-spirited guy.

"I originally wanted to give you a bottle, but now it's gone!"

Zhen Fan said sternly, and then walked into his office with his head held high.

"That's not fair!"

Zoe yelled behind him, but didn't get any response. This made Zoe furious. Why didn't she remind him? Damn it, she really didn't know why Americans had to remember every law so much.

Solid? Just know when you are old enough to drink, right?

Damn that guy, he's looking for a scapegoat.

This is Zoe's conclusion about Zhen Fan's abnormal behavior.

Zhen Fan did not stop. After treating the last patient of the day, he called Christine again. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone. The message from Christine was very touching.

"Sorry, my cell phone may not be around. Please leave your name and phone number after you hear the beep. If I can still get my cell phone, I will call you back immediately."

"What's going on?" Zhen Fan looked at his phone in a daze. Christine's phone message was too weird.

"I'm Fan Zhen. I want to ask about the penalties for illegal brewing. If you know, please call me on this phone!"

Zhen Fan thought for a while and left this message in his mailbox.

When Zhen Fan came home from get off work, Christine's phone call came.

"Oh, Zhen, I'm sorry. I just got my phone. It has always been in Sibela's hand. She is my assistant. Well, I know why you are worried. I asked my lawyer specifically.

, he told me very clearly: Don’t worry, we have a tradition in California, and the prosecution of illegal brewing is not very strict. Of course, this can be traced back to the introduction of the Prohibition in the 1920s..."

"Tell me what might happen to me now?"

Zhen Fan was complaining on the other end of the phone. Didn't the lawyer himself? Can't you hear the resentment in my message? Damn it, this woman is really irritating.

"There may be a prison sentence, or of course it may only be a fine or community service. Of course, this is the worst case scenario. I'm sorry, Zhen, I didn't tell you all this in advance..."

Finally, his conscience found out, and Zhen Fan snorted.

"But... with such delicious wine, what's the point of taking some risks?" Kristine's words immediately petrified Zhen Fan again.

"So... when I am arrested, will you come to see me, or watch me appear in court before being thrown into prison and mixed with those damn scum?"

Zhen Fan finally became angry, and Christine finally heard the sound of his teeth gritted.

"Don't worry, baby, don't worry, you can still remedy it now. You don't have large-scale production, and you don't make a profit for it, so this is a small matter. At most, it is a fine, but if it is handled properly, even the fine will be fine.

No, trust me, I will let a lawyer handle this matter!"

"Okay, okay, finally heard what I wanted to hear!"

Zhen Fan felt a little more comfortable.

"Then... in order to deal with such a matter, you have to tell me the truth, how much of this wine do you still have there? You have to tell the truth, and if possible, give those wines to me for storage. Anyway, you are giving them away.

People are not..."

Christine's words were full of conspiracy.

"Leave it all to you? Leave all my more than 40 bottles of wine to you?" Zhen Fan couldn't help shouting. Sure enough, Christine was thinking about drinking wine, "Why don't you tell me to move your wine cellar to my place too?"

Come on, Zhen, I will help you!"

"Okay, okay, you can send half of it to me..."

"Goodbye, Christine!"

Zhen Fan hung up the phone decisively.

Women are indeed heartless. Zhen Fan's teeth were itching, but Christine was right in saying that Zhen Fan's incident was not a big deal. Fortunately, Charles was still capable and informed Zhen Fan on the third day.

Go to the California State Auditor's Office to sign for a license and pay $1,500.

This matter seems to have come to an end.

Zhen Fan still went to the clinic to work as usual, and still ignored Zoe, even though Zoe often showed off her beauty in front of Zhen Fan or made teasing remarks.

"Hell, I need two bottles of wine!"

Zoe finally couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Zhen Fan when she got off work, and then said through gritted teeth. She raised her head and looked at Zhen Fan, showing her extraordinary fighting will.

"I'm sorry, Zoe, I think it won't be long before I'm going to be jailed for moonshine. Are you going to take wine from me?"

Zhen Fan rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I know it's my fault for not reminding you, but... I asked my father and he said it's not a big deal. In the Wine Valley, you are not the only one who makes wine privately without a license.

People. But you were the only one who was scared to the point of peeing, haha..."

Zoe thought this was quite interesting and actually laughed.

"Hell, that's nonsense!"

Zhen Fan was a little frustrated. In fact, Charles promised to settle everything for Zhen Fan, and it was smooth and clean, which already showed that this was indeed not a great thing. However, Zhen Fan subconsciously believed that Americans must be more rigid when it comes to law.

before.

Well, this is Zhen Fan's lack of understanding of Americans.

Where there are laws, there are people who break the law. Where there are people who break the law, there are people who bend the law for personal gain, and there are also people who turn a blind eye. It's the same everywhere.

Besides, Zoe's father was right, this is a place where wine is made, it's called the Wine Valley, who hasn't grown grapes to make wine? Do they all have a license? Of course not.

There is a serious lack of understanding of the national conditions!

"I also heard you called Charles." Zoe looked very proud, "So I know that it is completely unnecessary to worry. If Charles can't handle such a simple thing, then he will

It’s time to go to hell.”

"Okay, I admit you are right!"

Zhen Fan decided not to talk too much about this issue. Anyway, they would always have many reasons, and they were also familiar with the national conditions. He was asking for trouble by telling them this.

"Then my wine..."

Zoe looked at Zhen Fan expectantly.

"No, no, this is this, wine is wine."

Zhen Fan still refused.

"Come on, Zhen, I'm going on a trip with my family in December. Have you heard about ghost ships? We're going to take a cruise across the Bering Strait, and then we'll go home after a nice Christmas on the cruise.

"This will be my most amazing trip!" Zoe's expression was sad, and she felt that it would be more effective to switch to a tender offensive.

Ghost ship?

Zhen Fan was stunned. He had actually seen the movie. He had watched the pirated version online before. It was very impressive.

"You're hoping to encounter a ghost ship?"

Zhen Fan looked at this girl strangely.

"Who wouldn't?"

Zoe seemed to be very interested. It's no wonder that Europeans like such exciting trips, such as the most famous British ghost castle, the Tower of London, where there is a queen, two queens, two archbishops, six dukes, and one

Three marquess, ten earls, fifteen barons and thirty-three knights were executed here and died. It is said that the Tower of London is haunted by these noble ghosts, and they still like to "appear" occasionally hundreds of years after their death.

Suddenly, it brings countless haunted legends to the castle.

It is such a castle, and it is indeed a must-see attraction for anyone traveling to London, England.

What's more interesting to tourists is that this castle still seems to be filled with a strong smell of blood, as well as the ghosts that have been rumored to haunt this place for a long time.

“What about my clinic?”

Zhen Fan suddenly asked such a question.

"I will let Julia replace me. To be honest, Julia is very interested in such a high-paying and comfortable job and has asked me many times about things here."

Zoe smiled.

"You know, she is a beauty, and... you can't bear to let me leave like this, maybe I will meet the ghost on the ghost ship, and then I will never come back! Please... just two bottles are enough

Got it!"

Such words made Zhen Fan very uncomfortable. He frowned and then nodded.

"Okay, Zoe, two bottles, no more!" Zhen Fan finally relented, "But... are you sure it's a good idea to take a cruise to the Bering Strait to wait for the ghost ship?"

"I'm looking forward to it!" Zoe shrugged, "I've already started to prepare for it!"
