Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

The brewing of liquor was completed, which should have been a great thing, but Holly's face was full of dignity.

Carrying a white clay pot alone, he rode his horse bumping all the way to Longyi Fort.

Holly took the face towel, wiped off the dust on his face hastily, brushed his black hair casually a few times, and strode towards the meeting hall.

The attendant was tired of chasing after him, trotting: "Sir, sir! The towel—"

"Sorry." Holly turned around and handed over the towel, then picked up his pace and came to the door of the meeting room like a gust of wind.

"Kuukou—" He knocked on the door with his index finger, his chest twitched slightly, and he breathed out gently.After a while, a crack appeared in the wooden door.

First, the housekeeper greeted him with a smile, and then he exited the meeting room after he entered.

Lord Donovan and his bodyguard, Pavel, were both surprised. They obviously didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.

Immediately, surprise turned to seriousness, Donovan waved his hand, and avoided Holly's salute: "Bring it up."

Holly offered the clay jug with both hands and poured wine for the two.His eyes moved, and he noticed that the wine glass was made of a different material than usual, it was more like... He hesitated to speak.

Now is not the time to ask about this.

Pavel called a servant and told him to come and taste the wine first.Although Donovan's trust in Hawley was not as good as that of his closest ministers and close friends, but for most people, it was already extraordinary for most people to let him directly enter and exit Dragon Wing Castle and meet the lord with a letter.

Moreover, the closer you are, the more you should guard against people who can pour wine and roast meat by their side.Not to mention the lords, many emperors died at the hands of these close officials.

The glass of liquid as transparent as water in front of him exudes a clear breath.Facing the order, the servant did not hesitate.

As if holding a handful of holy water, the servant buried his head deeply, intending to swallow it in one gulp, when the tip of his tongue just touched the liquor, an unprecedented tingling sensation spread over his tongue.

"Don't be bored."

Hearing the young man say this, he felt relieved, and only tasted it.

Donovan and Pavel watched the servant's reaction closely, seeing his neck and ear roots climbing crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I remember you are very good at drinking." Pavel said in surprise, "I saw you knock down a lot of servants last time."

"Yes, my lord." The servant carefully put down his wine glass and took a few steps back.

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help biting his lips, a thin stream of sweetness remained on his tongue.If not for the presence of all the adults, he would have rushed to show off to his companions that today's sip was the most extraordinary wine he had ever drank in his life.

The time passed when half of the candle burned out, and the servant did not respond.The hawk's claw grass used in the usual drug test also showed normal results.

The light aroma of wine almost filled the whole room, Pavel is also a wine lover, at this time his nose fluttered, and his Adam's apple rolled countless times.

"Is this the baijiu you mentioned?" Donovan first picked up the small cup, and his golden eyes stared at the clear "water" in the cup.

"That's right, my lord. It is the first Fen-flavor baijiu at the moment, and other kojis will be produced in the summer, which will have more flavors."

Strictly speaking, the Fen-flavor type—that is, Fenjiu—can also be carefully classified according to the koji.The cup in front of me can be regarded as Erguotou.

The high-quality Luzhou-flavored type still needs a few days, while the sauce-flavored type, such as Moutai before crossing, can take a year to complete fermentation and distillation.

Shaking it to the nose and smelling it, just smelling it, it is a kind of unclear food fragrance.

Donovan sipped lightly, and it slid into his mouth like ice from an extremely cold place. It was cold and spicy, and immediately firmly grasped the coating of his tongue.

After a while, it was as if an ice blade pierced the tongue lightly and softly, and the blood surged up one after another, bringing a sweet smell of blood.

But the sweetness of baijiu has no rusty smell, it is as pure as mountain spring water, with the fragrance of grain wrapped in it.

The golden eyes of the two of them, after drinking the first sip of white wine, flushed with tears at the same time.

People who drink baijiu for the first time, or try such a high alcohol for the first time, usually choke their noses.

"Good wine!" Pavel blinked vigorously, his facial features wrinkled into a ball, but he couldn't help but blurt out his praise.

Hawley stood by the side, he didn't make any expression, just waiting for the expressions of the two to change from surprise to surprise.

Pavel's pupils shrank to a vertical line: "This is...?"

The dragon lord didn't say a word, he was still silent, but the fingertips and tiger's mouth holding the cup were turning white.

——Magic power, like the magic power of a stream, like the magic power of lightning from the sky, is getting into his body.

Small and obvious, without any impurities, it just penetrated into the bodies of the two of them.It took about two or three seconds, as short as the acrid smell, and finally melted into the whole body without a trace.

Dragons are almost born with magic, the difference is only in the concentration.However, Donovan's element is gold, Pavel's is water.

They looked at each other, and they could see the astonishment in each other's eyes without words.

Then, this means that the liquor in front of you not only contains magic power, but even the magic power does not need to be "checked", it can integrate all magic and replenish a certain amount of magic consumption.

Now, the two of them basically believed in the seriousness of the matter described in Hawley's letter.

Potions exist in other worlds, but they are only made from magic plants and monsters, and only target certain elements.

The only thing that naturally contains elements is the magic crystal, which is distributed in the human kingdom of Svia and the giants' territory in the extreme north.

It looks like obsidian, and the mining cost is expensive, but because the magic power contained in the magic crystal is very pure and strong, and it is the same as the white wine in your hand: it can accommodate different elements and have the same effect.

In Nianhua's winery, basically all the workers were selected by Donovan, so Holly's every move of brewing was under his nose, and he was determined not to do anything to deceive him.

"You really didn't add the magic crystal?" Pavel was so oppressed by the atmosphere that he couldn't breathe. He pretended to be relaxed and said with a joke.

"My lord, although the business of Nianhua Tavern is very good, I haven't made enough money to use the magic crystal to brew wine."

Holly felt a little helpless, he was still confused about the current situation of Baijiu.

Fortunately, the first sip of wine he brewed was the first one he tasted, and the workers in the winery had very little magic skills, and their abilities were very limited.

Otherwise, according to the nature of the incident, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole continent.

He only informed Bobby and Wilmer, and sent an urgent letter to Dragon Wing Castle that afternoon.My own shock did not pass a day.

Donovan slowly opened his lips and asked, "The brewing method, or the raw material?"

"My lord, maybe there are both." Holly said cautiously, "The brewing method of baijiu is indeed very different from other wines. The rice grains selected basically come from the Manzema area and the channels provided by the Golden Rose Manor. "

"This is the first batch of Qingxiang baijiu. I carefully screened it last night. The wines fermented in different tanks have different magic elements."

What he brought today is a barrel with the highest element content at this stage.

"Don't worry, adults. Only my two family members know about this matter. They understand the importance of this matter and keep their mouths shut."

He paused, looked at the two men who were thinking, and continued to talk.

"Last night, I discussed this matter with my master. He described the magical feeling brought by liquor, which is very subtle, like ants climbing the palm of your hand.

"And I'm slightly different: like an ant's gnawing, the delicate stimulation of blinking.

"Compared to Master's talent for magic, I'm only about as much as an index finger taller. But we have different feelings about liquor. I wonder if the two adults...?"

Donovan gave Pavel a look, and the latter understood instantly, and said first, "My duration is about the same as yours, but it will be more intense. Hmm... probably a spring rain."

As soon as these words came out, Donovan who was sitting beside him pressed his fist to his lips, his eyes were deep.

Holly narrowed his green eyes and suddenly understood something.

Time passed slowly, and the three of them sat around the table. Holly and Donovan opened their mouths almost at the same time, and the former closed his eyes quickly, letting the dragon lord speak first.

"Don't say anything about this matter. When you go back, pick out the ones with high magic content." Donovan said in a low voice, "The rest of the liquor will continue to be carried out in accordance with the contract and plan between you and Golden Rose Manor, and it can be sold normally."

His pupils tugged at Holly: "What did you want to say just now?"

Thinking that he had no chance to speak, Holly fumbled for the small cup in his hand, picked it up, and asked, "My lord, how dare you ask about this cup..."

"Aren't you already clear?" Donovan rarely smiled at him, but the meaning of the short laugh and the golden eyes was unclear.

"Oh, I forgot, Borg's letter seems to be delivered to you this afternoon."

Holly felt his head buzzing, his whole body petrified and shattered, and exploded into fireworks.

Fuck... The ceramics were really made by Borg...

"Nianhua Tavern has new wine?"

"More than that, I work at the port, and a brother told me that the new wine has drifted to sea with the merchant ship of the Golden Rose Manor!"

With the warm wind in late spring, the discussion was transported to Nianhua Tavern.

An orc carried his drunken dwarf companion on his shoulders and left towards the main entrance.Passing by a table of diners with peanuts sprinkled on the table, they flitted underneath to talk.

"I've never drank such a strong wine in my life! It's so cool!" The diners at that table knocked down their glasses heavily.Usually affected by Nianhua's atmosphere, he always acts lightly here, but at this moment, the drunkenness came to his head, and he began to show his true colors.

The table trembled three times as he placed the wine, a peanut jumped off the table in fright, and then rolled to the aisle.

A pair of leather-like fine, plant-made boots deftly avoid the peanuts on the soles of the feet.

The man covered by the cloak was even half a head taller than the orc who just passed by.

Walking to the counter, looking at the young and old who were busy under the folding fan, she directly reported her name: "Andrea." Her voice was like a bird pecking dew in the deep forest, clear and sweet.

"Ah, hello! Please wait a moment."

She quietly observed the strangely dressed little girl in front of her, but her clothes were unusually in line with her aesthetics, and quickly flipped through a booklet.

After a while, the girl raised her head, smiled, and said, "Hello, Ms. Andrea, you made an appointment for our room No.19 on the second floor yesterday."

"Please also tell me the 6-digit number you left yesterday so that we can confirm your identity."

Andrea said the number without thinking, holding the wooden number plate in the palm of her hand, she followed the lead of the bartender and stepped up the stairs.

On the platform at the corner, a drunken male human was staggering, his face was red, and he said from his wine hiccup, "Baijiu... hiccup, I was born with baijiu... hiccup, man! Death is baijiu... vomit --Well!"

This human being was covered by his companion, his throat rolled, and clods suddenly appeared at his feet, he stumbled and fell on his companion.

The cloak covered half of Andrea's face, revealing the delicate tip of her nose and mandible, and her lips had an almost imperceptible upturn.

Stepping into the box, although there was noise around her, the separate space made her feel inexplicably quiet.

Two pots of white wine, one warm and one cold; one pot of rice wine, accompanied by two signature dishes.

After the bartender had completely prepared the dishes, Andrea pulled down her hood.

Her blue eyes are like fine gems, embedded in the wind.Her high cheekbones and rosy lips made her look even more unapproachable than the flowers in the heart of the cold winter lake.

Poured a glass of white wine, she sniffed the aroma of the wine, and suddenly felt something strange in the upper left.

Through the carvings on the screen, her gaze collided with a pair of green eyes full of surprise.
