Magic Merchant Racial Anecdote

"Sorry, I was a little busy just now. I am the Green you are looking for." The bartender, no, he should be called Mr. Green now, put down the clean shaker in his hand, leaned over and introduced himself politely to Alai.The straight uniform is slightly wrinkled, and the brows and eyes are full of aristocratic charm.

Sitting on the high stool at the bar, Ah Lai thought of Wei Xilai for no reason. There was an indescribable similarity between this Mr. Green and that Prince.

"It's okay, Mr. Green, we are from Delai Transportation Company, and we are here to deliver the goods you ordered." Alai, who has always been very patient with customers, stood up and replied with a business-like smile.

"About this matter, I'm sorry, but can you change the trading time a little bit, the store is too busy at the moment, can you deliver the goods after the store is closed?" Mr. Green seems to have known about Alai and the others He was not in a hurry to make a deal, but looked around the store before speaking to Ah Lai.

A Lai also followed Green's eyes and glanced at the store. Compared with the empty street outside, this place is indeed very lively, and new customers are constantly pouring in at the door.Although I want to close the transaction early, it is undoubtedly not a good time.

As if seeing Alai's hesitation, Mr. Green explained a few more words in a soft voice: "I'm really sorry, but speaking of it, I made an appointment to receive the goods before the store opened in the morning, and there was no one in the store at that time." People are more relaxed..."

Ah, speaking of it, they were indeed late... Because the place where the 'door' opened was too far away, they were supposed to arrive at the destination in the morning, but they were delayed until the afternoon.Ah took a look at Mr. Green, who had a flat expression. It felt a bit powerful to point out that it was their mistake and take care of the face of both parties.

Well, anyway, since it's their problem, and they even set up the ladder. "I think the store is really busy. If that's the case, let's walk around and come back later when your place is closed." Alai said tactfully.

"Then I'll trouble you, but since you're all here, why don't I buy you a drink?" Mr. Green, who had already expected Alai's answer, only smiled slightly, and said politely.

A Lai wanted to refuse this kind of polite social speech at first sight, but he caught a glimpse of Ned's eyes full of interest. Those amber eyes were fixed on the colorful people behind the bar without blinking. Bottle, had no choice but to agree with the cheek.

"Then trouble you."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Mr. Green also noticed Ned's look, as if he was used to this kind of look, he just smiled calmly, picked up the shaker again and started to mix the wine.

Hearing that there was wine ready to drink, Ned also turned his attention away from the whole wall of wine, and turned back to Mr. Green standing behind the bar.

He didn't even look at it, and with half-closed eyes, he skillfully pulled out different wine bottles from the wine rack behind him, unscrewed the bottle caps with one hand, poured them into the shaker one by one, and the silver containers danced at his fingertips , like a mesmerizing dance piece, with its own rhythm and elegance.

After a dance, the wine was poured into the cups, and the slender fingers gently pushed it to the front. "Try it, it's the most famous 'Black Gold' toto in the shop."

Alai blinked and took the wine glass.

Is this the [three cups a day]?He looked at the translucent liquid in the eyeglass, black with a hint of suspicious dark red, small air bubbles rising continuously, accumulating on the edge of the cup to form light beige foam.

A Lai tentatively sniffed it lightly, but there was nothing strange about it, so he took a sip—hmm!The taste of red wine and cola.Is this the rumored most famous wine in Fairy Forest?Wine and Coke?

Then what's the purpose of those swaying and terrific tricks just now?Pretend to be X?And has no one ever told this Mr. Green that carbonated drinks can't be shaken?Will run away!

There are too many slots, and now Alai can no longer look directly at Mr. Green who is shaking Coke seriously again.With a stiff face, he glanced at Ned on the right.It was no surprise to see that Ned had finished drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, and was smacking his lips to put back the homemade scarf, showing a pensive expression.

Heh, there's no need to guess what this guy is thinking... It must be that the taste of the thing he drank is familiar, and he is probably thinking about whether to have another drink so that he can taste it carefully.

Alai didn't give Ned any chance to continue thinking, so he withdrew decisively and left, and made an agreement with Green to come back after the store closed at night.

"Thank you for the hospitality. I'll see you later." Alai stood up from the bar stool and bowed politely.

"...Okay, see you later." Seemingly puzzled by the state of Alai and Ned after drinking, Green's usual calm expression showed a bit of surprise, he raised his eyebrows and paused, Only then did I reply to Alai.

Alai, who had already seen the goblins in this city who were crazy about alcohol, didn't care about the change in Green's expression. He just waved and led Ned, who wanted to have another drink, out of the extremely noisy room without any hesitation. bar.

***

Unlike the dimly lit bar, the sun is still high in the sky outside, and it is now ten o'clock in the afternoon.A Lai took a deep breath of the fresh air with the scent of flowers, and felt that he was alive.

He raised his hand and sniffed his cuffs. He had only been in the store for less than half an hour, and his clothes were covered with the smell of alcohol, which wasn't bad at all, but he always felt drunk.

Far too early for delivery, where to go now?Or just go home and sleep, take a shower and come back.Just as A Lai was thinking this, he suddenly heard a mournful cry from the belly of a certain dragon beside him.

"Ah Lai, let's find something to eat, I'm hungry." Ned said pitifully, with his mouth pursed and his hands covering his stomach.It looked like he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.

"Oh, okay." Alai sighed, gave up the idea of ​​going home to take a bath, and decided to go to a restaurant to eat something first.After all—the hungry dragon is the biggest.

But where is there to eat around here?They walked all the way just now, but they didn't see a few open shops. Basically, where there were goblins, they were all drinking.

"Ned, take a look. Is there anything delicious around here?" At this time, you need to learn how to make the best use of things. Alai hopes that Ned will use his excellent sense of smell to find a good place. Shop, to make up for the excessive energy he consumed today.

"Wait, let me smell and see." Ned untied the clothes tied to his face, closed his eyes and raised his head to sniff. His crow-feather eyelashes cast two shadows in the sun, as if he was doing it seriously. What a holy prayer.

However, these are all illusions, he is just looking for something to eat.Alai looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head, and repeatedly emphasized in his heart.

"Ahhhhhhhhh~" Ned, who had a serious face just now, turned his head and sneezed loudly. With teary eyes, he wrapped his clothes back around his head, took a deep breath, and slammed at Alai. shook his head.

"The scent of flowers here is too strong, I can't smell it." He said in a muffled voice.

Forgot that Ned could not smell the fragrance of flowers here, Alai shook his head, and comforted Ned: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, let's walk around and look for it, if it doesn't work, find a small tavern , it’s also good to have some snacks.”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of sweet fragrance wafted over.Not far from the street where Alai and the others were standing, an open-air tavern was open.

Five or six white parasols stood on the green lawn, and the glass wine bottles hanging on the fruit trees jingled under the breeze. The aroma of sweet oranges and apples was so strong that even Alai, who was standing a few meters away, could not can smell it.

What does it mean to walk through the iron shoes and find nowhere to find it? It takes no effort to get it.Alai and Ned looked at each other, and walked towards the tavern tacitly.

As we approached, the aroma of the fruit became even more alluring.But the strange thing is that compared with other open shops, this small shop that smells very attractive has surprisingly few customers.

Next to the parasol is a two-story log cabin, with a wind chime made of a small wine bottle hanging at the door, and the signboard is also cleanly written with the words [Small Wine House with Bubbles], and there is no one in the room. The bar counter and the semi-open kitchen, Alai probed in and smelled it, and the aroma came from here.

He looked around, the oven in the kitchen was still running, but he didn't see the employees who were supposed to be working in the store. "Hello? Excuse me, is anyone there?" Alai called out tentatively.

"Here we come, here we come, please wait a moment..." A soft female voice came from the back of the hut, and the owner of the voice came out after a while. It was a hale and hearty old lady from the elf clan.

She was carrying a large basket full of fresh fruits, her eyes were peaceful, her silver hair was neatly pulled behind her head, revealing her pointed ears.

"Is it the guests from afar? What do you want to eat? I just baked apple pie and orange tart. Do you want to try it?" She casually put down the fruit basket in the kitchen and greeted Alai with a smile.

Most of the goblins I met when I entered the city were somewhat strange. Now I finally saw a normal one, and Alai didn't realize it for a while.

Compared to Alai who was stunned, Ned was much more straightforward. He stared in the direction of the kitchen, without even looking at the old grandma who came out. He turned his attention back when he heard that there was something delicious, and ordered decisively: "Two for the same order... No, four for the same order."

"Okay, lads. Sit casually outside, and I'll serve you the dishes later." The old woman nodded with a smile, not caring about Ned's impolite way of ordering, but pointed to the outside A small table, indicating that they can sit down first.

Now Ned was happy, and amidst the sweet smell, he pulled Alai to sit under the small round umbrella, waiting for the meal.

Only Ah Lai was a little curious about how empty the store looked, and looked thoughtfully at the old grandma who was carefully taking out the apple pie from the oven.
