My Magic Age
Chapter 585 83. Golden Apple Wine
There is an inconspicuous bar at the end of the alley. This bar is only open at night and will close before dawn. The owner of the bar is a brewer, but when he got older, he used a little of his savings to open a small bar in the most inconspicuous location on this street. The barley wine here is very fragrant and goes well with barbecue. Eat it with Shumi Pancake, and you can taste a different flavor from the imperial capital.
Another meaning of many taverns in the Green Empire is the underground information exchange. Adventurers, thieves and some mercenaries gather here. Therefore, there are all kinds of news here, many of which are true, and many of which are false. Many people When you come to the tavern, you not only come to have a drink and eat a plate of barbecue, but also to inquire about some interesting news. But this tavern is different. It seems more deserted, and there are no adventurers of all kinds. Thieves who always like to take advantage of others are not welcome here. Therefore, there is no intelligence business, no hot dancers, and no black market. Most of the drinkers who came here came here just to taste the barley wine. Over time, this place became a tavern that only did business with regular customers.
The dim bar was filled with the smell of alcohol and barbecue. The beer-bellied tavern owner added a few pieces of pine wood to the fireplace, took out a beer glass filled with white foam, and sat down opposite the Yerkes scholar with a blushing face. Be gentle with him He clinked the glass and took a big sip of barley wine. Then he turned around drunkenly and said loudly to the charming and beautiful woman at the bar: "Eve, fill up Yerkes' wine quickly. This guy has some skills." Time has passed since we came here.”
Yerkes squinted his eyes and said to the tavern owner with some excitement: "We are bringing out two smoked fish from Weiyang Lake to serve us drinks. This season happens to be the spawning season of sturgeons. Do you have any pickled caviar? Come out a little bit and get some cheese and freshly baked white bread, that would be even better.”
The tavern owner opened his mouth wide and looked at Scholar Yerkes in disbelief. He reconfirmed the expensive menu he ordered. For this tavern, the dishes ordered by Scholar Yerkes are considered to be the most expensive ones currently ordered by the tavern. It has the most top-notch dishes, and of course the price is much more expensive than those barbecues.
After confirming that Yerkes was not joking, the tavern owner took a breath and asked with a smile: "Hey, old man, it seems there must be something happy and worth celebrating. Is this your new assistant?"
Scholar Yerkes took a sip of barley wine, and then said: "Yes, Jijia is my new assistant. I have made new progress in my magic pattern research, so of course I have to celebrate it."
"That's a good thing, I'll have two more drinks." The tavern owner said to Yerkes with a smile, then put his big thick hands on my shoulders, and then his mouth full of alcohol came to mine. The ear said: "I have never seen this guy Yerkes bring anyone to drink here. Boy, you are probably the luckiest of these assistants."
Without waiting for any answer from me, the tavern owner staggered away with the beer glass in hand.
Yerkes were indeed happy tonight as we tried to make three pairs of Wind Wolf leather boots in a row and finally managed to make two pairs of leather boots.
The first pair failed to control the lines of the magic pattern formation well. Although the boots could barely be called a pair of magic pattern construction shoes, their carrying capacity and attribute requirements exceeded Yerkes' requirements.
The second pair of leather boots also failed. The reason was that the upper part of the wind wolf leather boots had hidden wounds. When my magic carving pen guided the magic lines to the hidden wound, the smooth movement of the carving pen suddenly stopped. Suddenly, the condensed magic power on the entire pen tip was directly dispersed at this moment, causing the entire magic pattern to have a very obvious Although I tried to fix it as much as possible later, when I finally finished writing, the magic circle still failed to be successfully sealed on the boots. I looked at the magic lines drawn by the magic ink little by little. It dissipated, leaving only mottled scratches on the surface of the boots. The entire Wind Wolf leather boots were completely destroyed.
Because I failed twice in a row, I was even more careful when making the third pair of leather boots. This time it still seemed to go smoothly, and the drawing process was very smooth. Finally, the Yerkes scholar personally placed the Wind Wolf leather boots on the tester. , and then we watched with surprise on our faces as the liquid in the crystal groove turned red. I knew that the boots were successfully made, and I could finally let out the breath I was holding in my heart.
Looking at Scholar Yerkes, the bright red reflected in Yerkes' eyes.
The pupils of his dirty, bloodshot eyes reflected my silly smile.
Yerkes took a sip of the slightly bitter barley wine, then smacked his lips and said, "The boss here is also a stubborn person. He is only willing to sell ale wine in the tavern. If there were some cider, wine, and dragon in the tavern, Tguela, chestnut wine, etc., I guess the business here can be better. "
The tavern owner listened to Yerkes' suggestion, but he snorted disapprovingly and said, "It's too complicated. I need to clear up the channels for various alcoholic beverages a little bit. It's too troublesome. I don't want these trivial matters to ruin the rest of my life." Life is a mess."
"My life is pretty good now. Even though I can't get richer by keeping this pub, as long as I can continue like this, I'll be satisfied." The pub owner put his huge beer belly on the bar. Suddenly, he hugged Eve who came out of the kitchen. She was carrying a large plate of smoked fish. She was caught off guard and screamed and fell into the arms of the bar owner. The bar owner was touching her charming face. He gave a "chirp" sound and gave him a loud kiss.
There was laughter from all around the tavern, and the tavern owner was punched twice in the chest by the woman named Eve.
"To eat smoked fish, it's best to pair it with some apple cider. After all, the ale is a bit weak and can't suppress the last bit of the fishy smell of the smoked fish. Ale is more suitable for eating with barbecue." Eve's voice felt a little rusty, but when she spoke, The smell makes me think she is the kind of killer of old men. She always has a smile inadvertently in her eyes.
The woman named Eve is holding a square fish plate in one hand, and she can smell the strong aroma of pine smoke inside from a distance. In the other hand, she is holding two goblets and A small bottle of golden cider. Standing in front of our table, he leaned down very low, skillfully poured the golden liquor from the bottle into the cup, showed a charming smile to Yerkes, turned around and walked gracefully back to the bar. there.
Yerkes was in a high mood tonight. He had just drank some ale and was already in a tipsy state. At this time, he saw a glass of golden cider full of nostalgia, which made him feel a little melancholy.
He held the goblet, looked at the wine in the glass carefully, and then said: "It turned out to be two glasses of golden cider. Speaking of which, I really miss those days in El City. In that city, everyone They are the first-class wine connoisseurs. Their love for golden cider exceeds everything else at the dinner table. Even on the breakfast table, there will be an open bottle of golden cider!”
Yerkes' description is really apt. Listening to him say this, it reminds me of Ryant. He just likes to have a drink with breakfast!
When the tavern owner heard what Yerkes said, he realized that this extraordinary magic scholar turned out to be a magic noble who came to the city of Ayr in the north and came out of the land of golden cider. He said with emotion: " Ayr City? That's a good place. The best golden cider is from there. Unfortunately, in recent years, those barbarians have been making trouble on the northern border. Oops, the output of the best wine is declining year by year, and the supply channels of golden cider are tightly controlled by those trading houses. It is by no means an easy task to buy a barrel of good old wine. , Hey, golden cider that has not been cellared is sour. If I were to drink those sour cider, it would be better to just drink some home-brewed barley wine, which would be more refreshing! "
Then Eve brought over a plate of steaming bread slices and a small jar of golden-colored, soft and round sturgeon eggs. Each one was about the size of a soybean. She reached out and picked up a spoon. Spread some butter on a piece of white bread and add Spread a spoonful of sturgeon eggs evenly on the butter, then pinch both sides of the white bread slices with one hand, and demonstrate for us, stuffing it into your mouth, then closing your eyes with great enjoyment, chewing slowly, The happiness at that moment made her hum softly.
"Eating this way is the best way to appreciate the freshness of these fish roes!" Eve said with a smile, nodded slightly to Yerkes, and left.
Scholar Yerkes didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction. He took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it into Eve's hand. I secretly smacked my lips when I saw that such a simple meal was settled with gold coins. , Such a gold coin is at least two or three months' salary for the civilians of the Green Empire, and it was actually eaten by the two of us in one meal.
On the contrary, the bar owner, who was leaning on a pine wood pillar, was slightly emotional. He held the wine glass and said: "These are the finest sturgeon eggs produced by the sturgeons in Weiyang Lake. The sturgeon roe in Weiyang Lake today, And gradually became like us civilians We can’t afford the luxury food. Emperor Charles has not done much in recent years. It seems that no new planes have been included in the territory of our empire in recent years. As a result, various resources have gradually become so tight. I hope this year Let’s make some new progress!”
The taste of smoked fish is very strong and a little salty. After a few bites, Yerkes and I drank a little light golden cider to dilute the salty taste in our mouths. It was really delicious when we tasted it. When the sturgeon roe was cooked, there was not much golden cider left in the glass.
I tried to eat the whole piece of bread and fish roe like Mrs. Eve, and the fresh feeling suddenly filled my entire mouth. The smooth and soft fresh fish roe slid on the tip of my tongue, and then again Being squeezed so hard that they exploded one by one in the mouth, that kind of freshness The taste filled my mouth, and the slight fishy smell was absorbed by the white bread slices. Thanks to the smoothness of the butter, the delicious food in my mouth poured into my throat uncontrollably. I suddenly had a feeling that the people in the imperial capital were far better than those in the north. People in the city of Ayr know how to eat, and they know better how to taste delicious food.
Yerkes poured the last bit of golden cider in the cup into his mouth, then raised his hand to signal Eve: "Give us another bottle of this golden cider, any food in the tavern is TNND a snack, This dish tastes really good! ”
But at this time, Eve, who was standing at the bar, shrugged her shoulders, then spread her hands with a troubled look. The tavern owner also showed a helpless smile and said to Scholar Yerkes: "Otherwise, I will give you another glass of fine ale. You drank up the last bottle of golden cider in my collection. If it weren't for you Today’s order is the most expensive sturgeon roe dinner, and I really can’t bear to give you the last bottle of golden cider!”
Yerkes was stunned for a moment and tried to ask again: "Is it really gone? Old man, are you kidding me?"
After being confirmed again by the tavern owner, Yerkes's face immediately fell. He put the white bread slices with smeared fish roe on the plate in frustration, and said with a grimace: "There is no golden cider, how can such a sturgeon roe be paired with it?" How else can you eat white bread with the most unique taste? What a disappointing night!”
I opened my mouth slightly and looked at the embarrassed tavern owner and the depressed Yerkes scholar. I wasn't sure if this tavern would mind if patrons brought drinks in from outside. I don't think they would be too happy about it, but There is no more golden cider. In this case, if I take out a bottle of golden cider from my magic waist bag, I shouldn’t make the tavern owner angry!
So I sat on the chair and carefully said to the tavern owner: "Do you mind if we drink our own wine?"
The tavern owner looked over with wide eyes. It was obvious that his face was not very good-looking. I took out a glass bottle with a thin neck and a round belly from the magic waist bag, and shook the golden liquid inside at the bar owner. Under the dim light, the wine in the bottle had a round luster, like a bottle of liquid gold that had been processed by an alchemist.
"This drink... just now Yerkes said you are from El City?" The bar owner strode to our table and sat down on the wooden armchair nearby. The sturdy chair made a "squeak" Yeah." A miserable voice trembled slightly, but it still withstood the overly heavy body of the tavern owner. The tavern owner's eyes were filled with obsession. Staring at the golden cider in my water bottle, I murmured to myself: "This is the color that only golden cider that is at least ten years old can have. This thing is so amazing. I really don't understand why I have to use it." It takes time to settle its sourness, which is exactly the opposite of ale. The fresher the ale, the better it tastes, while the older it is, the more flavorful it is.”
"The rumors are true! Every northerner likes golden cider." The tavern owner rubbed his hands awkwardly. Each finger was as thick as a radish. He hesitated. It seemed that he had something to say, but it seemed difficult to say it.
At this time, Scholar Yerkes couldn't wait for the delicious food in his mouth. He couldn't wait to take the bottle of golden cider from my hand, opened the cork with a smile, poured himself a glass, and picked up the slices of bread on the plate. He took a big bite happily, and then drank another. The rich aroma of the golden apple cider with a slight sweetness suddenly dissipated. At this time, Yerkes's expression was even more wonderful. While swallowing the food hard, he pointed to the wine in the bottle and said, I said: "Jijia, your bottle of wine is much better than the one just now..."
After hearing these words, the tavern owner had a painful expression on his face, as if someone had taken away his beloved thing. He hesitated and said to the Yerkes scholar in a very troubled manner: "Yerkes, You see, you can’t finish such a large bottle of golden cider. If you don’t mind, could you give me half of this bottle of fine golden cider?”
