Mr. Crane's face stinks like a duck's egg from spring to autumn, or the kind that has been slit open, and the smell attracts flies.

The inexplicable loss of six dollars had already made him a little unhappy, and after cursing at the union in the office for a while, the Graff guy ran in again. Foul-covered in stinking huddles around Mr. Crane, stretching out his bandaged hand and demanding nutrition for medical expenses. What a damn fellow, but for some reason, Mr. Crane didn't bargain, he didn't scold Graff, he happily took out six bucks, and threw him out.

The two who were supposed to hold out until next month to get the money to do "market research" directly changed their clothes and left the station.

During this period, almost all bars were selling a wide variety of high-grade liquors. The pain of war is still spreading, and with the tremendous social and political changes, the mental pain is in dire need of something to anesthetize one's mind and body. In addition to women, the best choice is probably such a thing as high-alcohol alcohol.

The two of them entered a bar called "Friends of the Workers" one after the other, and Durin slipped through the small black door under the scrutinizing gaze of a big man, and the smell almost made him vomit everything he had eaten last year.

The smell of sweat, the smell of feet, the smell of alcohol, the smell of vomit, the smell of dizzy body, and an indescribable smell all mixed together, constantly hitting and challenging his tough nerves. Graff grabbed him by the arm and dragged a dazed Durin to the edge of the bar. Graff seemed to be a regular customer here, and as soon as he sat down, the bartender leaned in, "What do you want today?"

Red fruit wine is a fruit wine called red fruit fermentation, and after fermentation, the residue is filtered out, resulting in a slightly cloudy red fruit wine. The price of red fruit wine is not expensive, you can buy a glass for eleven or two minutes, and it is one of the main alcoholic beverages of the working class. But this wine has a big drawback, that is, it always carries an inexplicable taste of rotten fruit in the drink, which is a taste left over from fermentation.

In addition, if the fermentation time is not enough, there will be some astringency in the drink.

However, all the drawbacks are not a problem under the low price.

Graff laughed, lowered his voice, and said, "Give us a glass of golden light, a glass of girl in a dress." ”

The bartender looked at Graff and Durin beside him in some surprise, he couldn't believe his ears. If it weren't for Graff's good reputation, the bartender would have thought he had misheard.

Golden Light is the abbreviation of a high-grade liquor, the full name is "Sesi Golden Sunshine", which originated in Sessivia, the Grom Empire, and the texture of the wine is famous for its faint golden glow. The name "Girl in a Skirt" comes from a bottle of high wine called "Heaven", and there is a pattern of a girl in a red dress on the bottle, which is also from abroad, and many people affectionately call Paradise Wine a girl in a skirt, and there is also a place called red skirt wine.

These two wines are considered to be one of the high-grade wines of the middle and low grades, and within the Shining Star Empire, I dare not say anywhere else, in Tennell City, these wines are the main products of consumption of the middle and low classes. From workers to wealthy merchants and families, both kinds of wine were enjoyed. However, as the post-war economy was hit hard, the taste of these two wines has deteriorated considerably. In part, private wine cellars in China are aggressively counterfeiting this wine, and the immature process has caused deviations in alcohol content and taste.

On the other hand, many local bars sell blended liquor, and very few raw liquor are sold. After blending, three bottles become four bottles, and the extra is pure profit, and many bars are happy to do so.

Of course, this time Doolin wouldn't have drunk the inferior imitations, nor would he have drunk the blends, because these two glasses were ordered by Graff. Graff has a good reputation for being helpful and good at things, so he has a good reputation and reputation in the neighborhood, and the bar won't sell him those fake things, unless the bar thinks it's too idle.

In fact, sometimes a person of prestige not only proves that a person is a great help to the people around him, but also that a person is often a problem for others.

Graff has both!

Soon two glasses of high wine were served, and the bar used a square cup, which could be placed in the palm of the hand, about ten centimeters high, and filled with seven points full, about two or two five. One glass is as bright yellow as a dream champagne, while the other is orange-yellow, and it has a strong aroma from the end.

The bartender approached the bar, lowered his voice and said, "Five pieces in total!"

Graff just glanced at him and slapped a five-dollar bill on the table. The bartender smiled absently and put the money in the money box.

"Taste it?", Graff's throat rolled, and here was the reason why he had only earned more than forty dollars as a porter for so long. In addition to coming over for drinks often, he sometimes needed to call one or two girls to discuss the origin of species, so he had already worked hard to save money, and he only saved more than forty yuan.

His blackened lips pressed against the edge of the wine glass, he took a small sip, and then his whole body trembled, raised his neck, and breathed a sigh of relief like a moan, "It's really delicious!", he said that he took another big sip, and half of the glass of wine was gone, and the muscles in his body that were tense from heavy physical work became much looser. He pushed the cup to Doolin's side, "You can taste it too." ”

Durin picked up the wine glass and changed the direction, and also took a small sip, and a spicy and choking feeling suddenly appeared in his mouth. He swallowed the little liquid in his mouth, and his neck immediately turned red. There was a flame burning in his chest, and his whole body became warm.

"It's spicy, it's choking, but there's also a hint of sweetness. "There seems to be an indescribable smell of wood?"

Graff smiled and nodded, "yes, and dragenite." Most of the high-altitude sake is made with the powder of dragon's blood, and only by adding dragon's blood can you make high-grade sake, I don't know exactly how it works, but everyone says so. ”

It was then that Doolin realized that in this world, the brewing and distillation of high-grade liquor had nothing to do with each other, but was done by purifying a material called dragon's blood. He'd heard that dragon's blood wood was a species left over from prehistory, and it was found all over the world. The tree doesn't grow slowly, it takes about twenty years or so to be ready for use, the only trouble is that the nutrients needed to grow this dracaena are a little different - it needs to absorb enough cow blood at each stage of growth to grow.

Now the world's largest dracaena forest farm is next to a staggering pasture. Ox blood is used to irrigate dracaena, while beef is sold for people to eat. It is precisely for this reason that the price of beef in this world is not very expensive, and ordinary people can afford to eat it.

Durin tasted another glass of wine, which had a slightly bitter taste, but this bitterness did not spoil the overall taste of the wine, but added something with a long aftertaste. He couldn't help nodding, this girl in a skirt was better than Jinguang, giving people a kind of bitterness like falling out of love, but after the bitterness, he could have the sweetness and aftertaste of happiness when he was in love, yes.

The two of them patted their butts and left after drinking, much to the bartender's surprise, knowing that it had become customary for Graff to make out with the bartenders every time he came in addition to drinking. This time he ...... The bartender couldn't help but glance at Durin as he walked towards the door, he was indeed a very handsome young man! He smiled, not knowing what he had thought, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

If Graff had known he was being thought of as a, he would have killed someone. It's a good thing he doesn't know, and neither does Doolin.

The two of them returned to the rental room, and immediately took the high wine from under the bed, poured it into two glasses, and tasted it at the same time.

After adding the syrup, the taste is not so bitter, but it is still very different from the golden light and the red dress, not in the alcohol content, but in the texture and taste. Compared with the two mature high-grade liquors, this distilled high-grade liquor is like being slashed on the head with an axe when drunk, baring its teeth. This kind of wine is not to say that there is no market, but the market is definitely not as good as those two wines.

The golden light and the red dress can be sold for two yuan and five glasses in the bar, and this kind of wine is up to one yuan and five yuan. The difference of one dollar for a glass means that there is a difference of at least three dollars for a bottle, and this is definitely not something that Duhrin and Graff can afford.

"What should I do?", Graff rubbed his head with a slightly drunken face as he picked up his glass and drank the wine in the quilt dry, "Let's find a way!"

While recalling some things in his dream, Durin thought about how to complete the qualitative transformation of distilled spirits in this world with the technology of this world. After a while, he hesitated and said, "I have two ways. ”

Graff's eyes lit up like light bulbs, "Tell me about it!"

"The first is storage, where the wines are stored in barrels with aromas, preferably dragon's blood, and pressed in the cellar for a year, when the taste is definitely much better than it is now. ”

"The second method is to further blend and add some berries and then lower the degree to become a high fruit wine, which can be more saturated in taste and texture. ”

Graff didn't even think about it, and shouted, "Don't choose the first one, it's too long, I can't stand the wait." Let's choose the second option, it's fast, as long as we have the money, we can try the first method. I'm fed up with the days of poverty!"
