Ten minutes later, the barbershop owner returned to the shop with a can of sugar water and the spoon.

"The old rules, how about a small bet?" The boss handed the spoon to Ye Ming and placed the jar of sugar water in front of Ye Ming.

"No problem. If I drink this spoon, you pay a price, and I buy it. Ye Ming took the spoon and looked at it carefully, it was right.

"You want to buy it? I can't do that, I'll have to ask my grandfather. It's his favorite gadget when he's younger, and now he's older, so he doesn't have much of a baby, I'll ask. The boss turned on the message and sent a message to his grandfather.

Ye Ming sat on the side and waited. The grandfather and grandson talked for about five minutes. After communication, the boss made a decision.

"My grandfather said that if you can drink a whole spoonful of sugar water, the spoon will be sold to you, and the price is ...... Ten thousand! When the boss said the price, his tone was stunned, and his eyes flickered.

Because his grandfather said that if someone really wanted to buy this spoon, 5,000 gold coins would be enough. The spoon is unusual, but it's something so special about making anything bitter that it doesn't really do much in life.

Who likes a bitter taste?

The price of 5,000 is because the spoon was handed down from a breakfast shop hundreds of years ago, and after changing hands several times, it finally reached the family.

Although the thing has no special value, hundreds of years have been left on it, and the 5,000 gold coins should be bought for the time engraved on this spoon.

When the old man was young, he liked to use this spoon to tease others, but now that he is older, he has long lost such thoughts, and his son and grandson have no interest in the spoon, and if someone wants to buy it, they will sell it.

"Okay, just 10,000." Hearing the bid, Ye Ming did not hesitate at all.

"Huh?" The boss was stunned, he didn't expect that such a spoon that didn't mean anything in his eyes could be sold for 10,000, and Ye Ming agreed without blinking an eyelid.

"Words count, I'll drink." Ye Ming picked up the spoon, filled a spoonful of sugar water, and drank all the sugar water in a spoonful in one go.

Ye Ming knew that this spoon would make anything very bitter, so he didn't dare to taste it first, so he simply drank it all. If he tasted it first, Ye Ming was really a little afraid that he would be bluffed by this bitter taste.

The sugar water slid through his throat, Ye Ming's face stiffened, his originally relaxed body straightened up suddenly, and his fists were clenched.

What kind of bitterness is this? Ye Ming felt that his taste buds exploded, and his whole mouth was filled with indescribable bitterness, and when the sugar water fell into his stomach, there was even a sense of pain, so bitter that it was painful.

Ye Ming's whole body was trembling slightly, his expression began to distort, and a dense layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Good...... Bitter! Ye Ming couldn't help it, picked up a whole jar of sugar water and drank it with his head up.

"There's a drink shop over there." The boss watched Ye Ming drink all the spoonful of sugar water in one go, and he was really shocked, in the past, someone dared to drink it, but it was just a slight touch with the tip of his tongue and drank it all? That's uncomfortable.

Ye Ming rushed out of the barber shop and went straight to the beverage shop.

Ten o'clock in the evening.

Tonight's Demon Fire Town seems to be much more deserted, usually this time, it is the most lively time in Demon Fire Town, because the people in the town generally get up late, so the Demon Fire Town at night is the time when the Demon Fire People are most active.

But at this moment, in Demon Fire Town, there is hardly a single human voice. On a normal basis, there would have been a few anglers on the riverside of the town, women singing and dancing around the fire, drunks on the streets, burping and gossiping, and walkers selling their knick-knacks with rhetoric.

Tonight, all is nothing.

Except that the cold moonlight was still sprinkled on all corners of Demon Fire Town as always.

"What's the situation?" Ye Ming, who entered Demon Fire Town, noticed a hint of something unusual.

He stuffed a few candies in his mouth, because the bitter taste was too uncomfortable, he drank his stomach in the beverage store until he couldn't hold it anymore, and he didn't reduce the bitterness a little, in desperation, Ye Ming had to buy a bag of candy on the information device and stuff it in his mouth at any time.

As the owner of the land deed of Demon Fire Town, Ye Ming obtained a piece of information at the moment he entered Demon Fire Town.

"Tonight is a special day for Demon Fire Town."

The reminder on the information meter is only this sentence, and it does not specify what the special day is. But as it stands, this day is absolutely extraordinary.

Ye Ming ignored the meaning of this special day for the time being, and went straight to the strange grocery store.

The door of the grocery store was still tightly closed, and Ye Ming walked up and knocked on the door. Last time, the boss said that as long as he saw that Ye Ming was coming, he would open the door for Ye Ming.

After knocking on the door, about a minute later, a crack opened in the door of the grocery store, and a voice came from inside: "Come in!" ”

It's the boss's voice.

Ye Ming pushed the door and left. There was a dim light in the grocery store, and when he saw Ye Ming entering, the owner of the grocery store hurriedly closed it.

"You kid came at a good time." Closing the door, there was a hint of complaint in the old man's tone.

"What day is it?" Ye Ming asked confusedly.

"What day? As soon as you see that you are not from Demon Fire Town, don't worry so much. Something brought? The old man stood under the light and looked at Ye Ming seriously.

"Is this it?" Ye Ming saw that the spoon was taken out, because he had candy in his mouth, and his speech was a little blurred.

"I'll see." The old man took the spoon and looked at it a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurried to the counter, took out a kettle, poured the water from the kettle into the spoon, and drank it in one gulp.

"The taste, the bitter taste, finally ...... Tasted. After the old man drank the spoonful of water, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face that had not been seen for a long time.

He smacked his lips, as if reminiscing. The taste that is extremely bitter to ordinary people, in this old man's mouth, seems to have become a delicacy in the world, he closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the bitterness in his mouth, and his intoxicated expression made Ye Ming feel very stunned.

Ye Ming has tried to use this spoon to drink sugar water, and the bitter and astringent taste is not something that ordinary people can tolerate at all, this old man, it is the same as drinking white water?

"Thank you, young man, I haven't tasted it in a long time, it's been a long, long time." The old man looked at the spoon and carefully put it away.

"What do you mean?" Ye Ming asked.

"Seeing that you have candy in your mouth, you must have tried this spoon, right? The bitter taste is unpleasant, right? Hehe, for you, that's bitter, for me, that's the only taste I can taste. ”

"Because I don't have a sense of taste anymore."
