0614: Lotus wine
Yun Xiao had already returned to the hotel, and when Xiao Chen came back, he was already waiting impatiently, he wanted to go out to look for Xiao Chen several times before, but he was worried that people would be more likely to miss someone, so he had to wait in the front hall.
"My lord, where have you been?" In a hurry, Yun Xiao's voice trembled a little.
"I went to the Summoner's Club, and then to a forge, okay, didn't I come back?" Xiao Chen felt Yun Xiao's concern, so he explained.
"By the way, my lord, I bought the wine." Yun Xiao said.
"Oh? We talk as we go. Yun Xiao looked around at the people in front of the hotel, and said in a low voice: "I may have caused some trouble, so I should be careful when I speak in the future." ”
"What's the trouble? My lord, if I don't ask the Royal Guard to deal with it? Yun Xiao immediately looked around vigilantly, and asked in a low voice.
"No, it's just a few little thieves, it's not worth making a big deal about." Xiao Chen smiled contemptuously and said, "It's not worth bothering about being so amateurish to be able to keep an eye on everything......
"My lord, your safety is at stake, there is no trivial matter." Yun Xiao said busily.
"Alright, calm down." Xiao Chen coughed and said, "It's not too early, let's go buy a car after dinner." ”
"Yes, sir."
Yun Xiao had no choice but to follow, before leaving, he looked at a suspension parked not far away, and glared fiercely, this one followed Xiao Chen, and no one got out of the car until now, it was obvious that it was stalking.
"My lord, this is the sub-brand of the wine, you put it away." After sitting in a corner of the dining hall, after ordering the dishes and the waiters all left, Yun Xiao handed Xiao Chen the Yayuan card with both hands.
"How much did you buy?" Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to take it, and then swept his mind, he couldn't help but be stunned, there were dozens of small pots densely placed inside.
"There are a total of 100 pots, and the lord in charge recognizes me, so he gave me 100 pots at the royal supply price, after all, it is someone else's company, and in the rules, we can only do this." Yun Xiao said.
"It's already good...... By the way, Yunxiao, Xiaoxiao went to Feiteng City, is it good that the royal guards guarding here have withdrawn? Xiao Chen asked more.
"The commander of the guard is also worried, but because they haven't received an order, they can't leave, my lord, do you want to tell the emperor and report the situation here to His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"No problem, when we contact in the evening, I'll talk to the emperor." Xiao Chen nodded, if it was not a very urgent and important event, they agreed to contact once a day in the evening, and not to contact if there was nothing to do, so as to keep the communication of the troops unimpeded.
It didn't take long for a few waiters to serve the dishes one by one, Yun Xiao told the waiter to go away, he looked around, and said, "My lord, I feel that this city doesn't seem to have surrendered to King Langya." ”
"Lotus City has no strategic significance, it should not be in the eyes of King Langya, and I will also tell the emperor about this matter...... Well, eat when the dishes are ready, don't talk about some annoying things, lest you lose your appetite. ”
Xiao Chen raised his fork to pick vegetables to eat, his movements were unhurried, showing the elegant nature of the aristocracy.
Yun Xiao was stunned, he looked at Xiao Chen and stopped talking, and finally picked up the knife and fork and ate it.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen put down his chopsticks and laughed: "No wonder I always feel that something is missing, there is food but no wine, and I am always unhappy." ”
"My lord, do you drink?" Yun Xiao asked in surprise, he saw Xiao Chen clumsily opening the wine jug, and he was more and more sure that Xiao Chen would not drink.
"No, but the sake is so expensive, you have to taste what's so special, right?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's time to taste it, and test it casually, so as not to be deceived by Lord Tongwei, it's a trivial matter, and it's bad if you give away bad wine."
Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement, he pushed his cup in front of Xiao Chen, and said, "Give me a cup to taste too, I have tasted the imperial wine, and I should be able to taste the authenticity." ”
"Okay, of course I want to give you a drink, one person doesn't drink, two people don't play cards, it's all lonely."
Xiao Chen's mouth was nonsense, but his movements were very clumsy, and he finally opened the wine jug.
Poured two glasses of wine and pushed a glass to Yun Xiao, Xiao Chen first sniffed vigorously, the taste of the strong liquor was very strong, and the aroma of the liquor after a long absence made him involuntarily chirp his mouth, and he drooled.
didn't drink in a hurry, Xiao Chen picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, the wine in the glass was slightly red, and it could be transparent.
"This wine is red?" Xiao Chen put it under his nose and exhaled deeply, and then took a small sip.
A powerful force burned from the lips to the throat, and then down the intestines to the stomach, like a burning heat.
"It's a spicy wine." Xiao Chen suddenly coughed violently a few times, covered his mouth and sighed excitedly.
"It's genuine, Lord Tongwei didn't lie to me." Yun Xiao also coughed a few times like Xiao Chen, and said reassuringly.
Although he only tasted a small sip, Xiao Chen felt that none of the wine he had drunk could be compared with it, it was mellow and powerful, but it was not difficult to get his throat down.
"Is there any way to say this wine?" Xiao Chen turned the wine glass and gently shook the wine in the glass, making the aroma of the wine more intense.
"I went to buy wine this time, and I specially inquired about Lord Tongwei." Yun Xiao put down the wine glass and said, "This wine is too strong, I'll drink it after eating." ”
"Let's talk about it, it's just right to accompany the wine." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, sir." Yun Xiao put down the knife and fork and said slowly: "Lotus wine was originally called Lotus Brew, and the raw material is indeed a kind of millet from Lotus Mountain, and the locals call it Lotus Rice. ”
"I've heard that." Xiao Chen said lightly: "Say something I don't know." ”
"Adults don't know, the real lotus rice is cultivated with rosary beads, one acre of lotus rice, a season to grow at least 10 million rosary beads, and can not be planted on a large scale, otherwise it will cause changes in the soil veins, and one acre of a season produces more than 2,000 catties of lotus rice, according to the ratio of one to one, it is more than 2,000 catties of wine."
"10 million prayer beads, more than 2,000 catties of wine, no wonder it sells so expensive." Xiao Chen was also shocked, using the beads of thought to cultivate raw materials, how bold would it take to do this?
The finished product is large, coupled with the manpower and material resources invested and the failure rate, the selling price of up to 20,000 prayer beads is actually not much profit.
"By the way, how many acres of land does that real lotus rice have?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"The growing conditions of lotus rice are extremely harsh, I heard that it can only be grown in a strong fire attribute land, for so many years, the empire seems to add up to only three acres, and in a few years, I am afraid it will decrease." Yun Xiao sighed and said, "So, this kind of wine will become more and more rare. ”
"It's really little." Xiao Chen didn't care, there will always be good wine in the world, a thing of appetite, there is nothing to pity, however, he suddenly sat up straight and said suspiciously: "The nutritional value of this wine seems to be okay." ”
"My lord, is it okay? The reason why lotus wine is special is because it contains abundant fire attribute elements, which has great benefits for fire attribute summoners, even if ordinary people drink it, it also has the effect of invigorating blood stasis and strengthening the body. ”
"It's really beneficial."
Xiao Chen drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, gurgling in his mouth, and was not in a hurry to swallow it, he would have drunk a long time ago in his previous life, although he didn't drink much, but at school, there will always be a dead friend who advises him to drink, and he will always fight with others, and he is also a person who has passed the alcohol test.
However, this body has not been stimulated by alcohol, and is not familiar with the strength of wine for the time being, but fortunately, although the wine is mellow, it is not top-notch, Xiao Chen likes this feeling very much.
Feeling that he could drink two more glasses, Xiao Chen took the wine jug and served himself another glass, he picked up the wine jug and shook it gently, and said, "Do you want a glass?" ”
"No, I'll keep my head awake at all times." Yun Xiao said seriously: "The first time I drank, I was forced to drink by the chief, and I drank it as royal wine, he told us that although wine is a good thing, we can't drink it, and now I drink the best wine in the world, and it doesn't matter if I drink it or not." ”
"Your chief is a wonderful man." Xiao Chen said funny.
"Actually, it's a tradition of the Royal Guard, and every newcomer is poured with alcohol."
Yun Xiao naturally glanced back, as if he was looking for a waiter, and just like that, he saw the two people sitting at a table, looking sneakily at this side.
"That's the stalker." Xiao Chen saw the meaning of Yun Xiao's movements, and he lowered his voice and said lightly.
"I know." Yun Xiao also replied softly.
"Don't make a sound, the stalker is coming." Xiao Chen lowered his head and drank, his voice faint and audible.
Yun Xiao immediately nodded in understanding, eating casually, but his body gradually and slowly tensed, ready to jump up and hurt people at any time.
Xiao Chen didn't look at the two seemingly aristocratic sons approaching at all, and picked up the wine jug again and poured a glass, just when he put down the wine jug, one of them seemed to be unsteady on his feet, and hit Xiao Chen, he danced wildly, hitting Xiao Chen's hand with one hand, and Xiao Chen's head with the other.
Xiao Chen tilted his head slightly, and his other hand naturally stopped on the top of his head, but the hand holding the wine jug did not move, allowing the man to hit, knocking the wine jug in his hand to the ground, and then shattering it with a clang.
Xiao Chen understood when the two of them came over, these two people were deliberately looking for trouble, first stirring up trouble, testing Xiao Chen and Yun Xiao, and then making other plans.
Since the other party wanted to stir up trouble, Xiao Chen was naturally not afraid, so he deliberately asked the other party to break the wine jug, leaving a foreshadowing.
