Chapter Ninety-Seven: There is wine today and drunkenness today
"Wait, everyone, wait for the fire to boil and then you can blanch the food. ”
10 iron pots were set up at the entrance of the adventurer's guild, the red oil in the pot slowly melted, and the steaming heat slapped on people's faces, so that the body eroded by the cold wind slowly warmed up, and the spicy and fragrant breath made people can't help but fly down to 3,000 feet.
"Knock, knock. ”
Quite a few slaves shook their throats and swallowed their saliva.
Because it was getting late and everyone was hungry, Lin Xiu decided to act on his mind and make a hot pot to eat tonight.
The ingredients, iron pots, and base ingredients were all exchanged from the Adventurers' Guild, except for the firewood that the slaves had picked up from nearby.
The tall woman from the Adventurer's Guild leaned against the door, still holding the pipe in her hand, and after smashing it, she said to Lin Xiu who was gathered next to the pot: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, these gargoyle bodies are good alchemy materials, is it appropriate for you to use them as stoves?"
"What's inappropriate? it won't break if you burn it, and when tomorrow dawns, I'll have someone collect it and send it to you." Lin Xiu looked back and smiled.
When buying ingredients from women before, Lin Xiu already knew the other party's name, Maggie, a very nice name.
"Lin Xiu, stop talking, the water is boiling, you can serve the food. ”
The red oil in the pot was boiling, and the aroma was even stronger, and Wren had already picked up a piece of hairy belly and put it in the pot.
Others did the same and put the vegetables in the pot, but they never used chopsticks, and the dishes fell off halfway.
The slaves didn't move, although they had noticed that Lin Xiu was a little different from the nobles they had seen before, but some habits could not be changed in a while.
"Knock, knock, knock. ”
They had already guessed that this was a rare delicacy through the overflowing aroma, but they still looked at Lin Xiu with great restraint.
"Everyone eats, everyone eats, you don't know how to use chopsticks, it doesn't matter, I prepared a colander for you, and the dishes that come out of the scalding are the same when you put them in the colander. After Lin Xiu finished with a smile, he picked up his own chopsticks from the ground, took a duck intestine and threw it into the pot and shook it.
Slaves, you look at me, I look at you.
"Eat!"
The middle-aged man whispered, and the slaves made a move.
Just like Lin Xiu thought, the chopsticks were thrown aside after they learned it for a few seconds.
A group of people put the food into the pot with a colander propped up, and the fire struck the excited faces of each slave.
Within two seconds, someone was trying to grab the food.
"Wait", the middle-aged man pressed the colander in the man's hand back into the pot: "It's not cooked yet." ”
"I see they're all cooked like this. The man pointed at Wren, who had picked up the hairy belly in Wren's hand before it had been hot for less than 10 seconds, and he was also doing the same.
"It's different, this brain is still bloodshot!" The middle-aged man pierced the pig brain flower with a fork, and there was bright red blood flowing in the middle.
"Yes, you're really not good yet, put it back, this thing must be cooked for at least 40 meters (20 minutes), otherwise you will have diarrhea after eating it." ”
Lin Xiu didn't know when he touched the middle-aged man's side, his face was flushed, he was dragging two bottles of beer with open caps in his hands, and one hand was on the middle-aged man's shoulder: "I'm very optimistic about you, what's your name?"
The middle-aged man was startled, and immediately flashed to the side, his eyes uncertain.
"Back to the adult, the villain Alex. It took a long time for the middle-aged man to report his name.
"Alex?" Lin Xiu brought a bottle of beer to the other party: "Can you drink it?"
Lin Xiu was very happy today.
The feeling of seeing his men desperate and he couldn't do anything made him almost go crazy.
And this time the monster invasion incident was almost solved by him.
"Drink", Alix did not hesitate, and took the beer handed over by Lin Xiu.
Goo-dong, goo-dong.
The wine was full of strange smells, but Alex drank it in one gulp.
The alcohol concentration of beer is higher than that of ale, and Alex, who blew a bottle of beer for the first time, had a red face and flirtatious steps.
"Good amount of wine!" Lin Xiu patted Alex on the shoulder, and then pulled him to sit down together: "Where did my brother go before?"
On the top of the alcohol, Alex didn't have so many scruples in his heart, and began to talk to Lin Xiu: "I'm from Harbor City. ”
"They're also from Harbour City. Alex pointed to the surrounding slaves and said to Lin Xiu, with a heavy heart: "We are all from the villages near Harbor City, half a month ago, someone rushed to our village, subdued us with strong force, and marked us as slaves. ”
Lin Xiu put a piece of scalded hairy belly into Alex's bowl.
Alix swallowed his hairy belly in one gulp, blinked his mouth, and felt that something was missing, and when he saw Lin Xiu drinking a sip of beer, an urge to take it over appeared in his heart.
"I'd love for you to blow the bottle with me, but that's it for today. Lin Xiu turned back to Maggie and shouted, "Boss, aren't our drinks ready yet?"
"What are you urging, is the drunkard possessed?" Maggie scolded Lin Xiu angrily, and commanded a laborer to send a bottle of Jiang Xiaobai to Lin Xiu.
"This is for you, I guarantee that you will be full of praise when you drink it!" Lin Xiu handed over the wine.
Alex didn't hear that much, he was depressed in his heart, and directly opened the cap of the bottle and took a sip.
"Ha~"
The heat spread in his throat like a flame, and Alex gasped for breath before he uttered two words: "Good wine!"
"Good bar? But good wine is not what you drink, you can taste the true meaning of wine by taking a small sip. Lin Xiu explained with a smile.
"Hmm", Alex nodded heavily, the guard against Lin Xiu in his heart was completely lifted, and the more he looked at Lin Xiu, the more pleasing it became: "Where did you talk about it just now? By the way, we were marked as slaves, and then we were divided into three teams, one team for children without adults, one team for young people, and one team for old people." ”
Alex looked up at the dark sky, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes: "We were sent in different directions, our team was saved by a passing mercenary team, but they didn't want to get into trouble, so let's run for our lives." ”
"I also had no choice but to take them into the mountains. ”
"As for the others, I don't know where they were sent, maybe they will never see each other again in this life. ”
Alex smiled sadly, the spicy wine could help him expel the cold from his body, but it could not warm his gradually frozen heart.
No one thought that the separation would be so sudden, and some people may be eternal as soon as they turn around.
Lin Xiu sighed: "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness." ”
Alex shook his head, took a sip of the old white dry, and suppressed all the unpleasantness with the piping hot spicy.
"At least I'm alive now, and so are they. Alex suddenly stood up and shouted to the other slaves, "Shall we dance?"
"Okay, dance. ”
A group of drunken slaves stood up in response.
The drink Lin Xiu took from the Adventurer's Guild was not just this bottle of Jiang Xiaobai in Alex's hand.
In fact, almost every iron pot has a case of beer, two bottles of Lao Baigan, and a jar of ale around it.
Harbour City is close to the sea, and people who live near Harbour City don't like to drink to beat off the cold.
However, regardless of whether male and female slaves like to drink liquor the most, baijiu is purer than ale wine, and tastes better than beer, and only Lin Xiu, an outlier, holds a beer bottle and a cow drink.
A group of people sang and danced around the hot pot, their faces flushed in the light of the fire.
Lin Xiu knew that they were using the strength of wine to erase the sorrow in their hearts in this way.
But how can the pain of family loss be dissipated in such a simple way?
After dawn, it will be a painful cycle again.
