Chapter 783: Refining Success
The three glass bottles contained a dark green liquid mixed by the Prophet, with tiny bubbles coming out of the inside of the liquid from time to time.
The ingredients of the recipe that Qiao Xiu chose haphazardly didn't have anything strange to do with the dust of sin... Magic changes, and there is no chemical change.
"Who's coming first?" Qiao Xiu asked subconsciously.
The Prophet didn't answer, but took a glass bottle on the table.
She was the refiner of this thing, so the prophet knew that among the few things Qiao Xiu had selected, even if they were mixed together, it would not be possible to produce any toxicity, of course... There are no buffs either.
The Prophet uncorked the bottle and drank the entire bottle.
"How's it taste?"
When Qiao Xiu was talking to the Prophet, it was really hard to see any emotional fluctuations in her face.
"Sugar water that stings your tongue."
The Prophet gave the bottle a succinct evaluation.
Ciri also picked up the other bottle on the table and uncorked it, she tentatively took a sip into her mouth, only to behave like Joshua and almost vomit.
"It smells stranger than a magic potion." Ciri stuck out her tongue and said, "It does tingle when you put it in your mouth." ”
"Failed?"
Qiao Xiu saw Ciri's overreaction, and apprehensively picked up the last bottle and took a small sip, and after the first sip, Qiao Xiu directly drank all the liquid in the bottle.
"That's the texture and taste I want, no, it's a little bit worse."
Qiao Xiu put down the bottle and inexplicably felt the urge to shed tears, on earth, Qiao Xiu liked the taste of Coke more than all drinks.
After coming to this world, Qiao Xiu also thought about restoring the taste of cola, but he never found anything to replace baking soda, and the prophet solved this problem for Qiao Xiu.
"Is it delicious?"
Ciri looked at the bottle in her hand that she hadn't finished drinking, and she didn't dare to try the weird smell just now.
"You're used to it, and you're going to like it or even get obsessed with it."
Qiao Xiu made a gesture of raising his hand, encouraging Ciri not to hesitate to drink it all in one gulp.
Ciri drank all the dark green liquid in the bottle with an open-minded attitude.
The tingling sensation on the tip of her tongue made Ciri very uncomfortable, but as she gradually got used to this strange feeling, the sweetness and tingling achieved a complementary effect.
Makes Ciri feel a... An inexplicable feeling of refreshment.
"At this point, we should say another bottle!" Ciri held up the empty bottle in his hand as if he was drunk.
However, there is no alcohol in Qiao Xiu's refining formula.
"The Prophet will refine another portion according to the amount just now, and this time he will add a little more."
The combination of the dust of sin and the syrup can be said to set the tone for the taste of Coke, but the taste in some details is very different from that of Coke on Earth.
Qiao Xiu was thinking about what flavor he should continue to add to it... There was a knock on the door of the atelier alchemy.
"Lord Qiaoxiu, Count Cruz would like to see you."
The attendant outside said loudly to Qiao Xiu.
"Is this the efficiency of the people of the Iron Country..."
Josieu entrusted the construction plan for the Count Cruz's Beauty and the Devil scene yesterday.
He spends some time counting the money and materials needed to build the scene, as well as discussing various possible options with the engineering team.
Qiao Xiu initially thought that this work would take at least three days, but Count Cruz completed his task today, and went to this alchemy workshop to find Qiao Xiu.
"Count Cruz, please come in."
Count Cruz didn't come here alone, he was followed by two alchemical engineers.
"I visited you at the Hearthstone Tavern in the morning and was told you weren't in the tavern... Until a friend of mine told me that you were in this alchemy workshop, Mr. Qiao Xiu. ”
Count Cruz stood in the doorway and glanced inside the atelier where a little girl who looked to be about ten years old was stirring a pot of bubbling green liquid with a wooden stick.
No matter how you look at this scene, it looks like Qiao Xiu is asking a young girl to refine it for him... Poison.
He really wanted to remind Qiao Xiu that hiring child labor to refine poison without permission had already violated several laws of Nolan.
"Did you bother Mr. Qiao Xiu?"
So Count Cruz lowered his voice as he spoke.
"No interruption, I'm trying to make a new type of drink, if you don't mind, you can wait a while." Qiao Xiu pointed to a few benches inside the alchemist.
"Drinks?"
Count Cruz couldn't think of the glowing green liquid inside the cauldron as a drink.
The constant bubbling on the surface is a constant reminder to Count Cruz, 'This thing is dangerous.'"
In order to save time, he chose to wait for Qiao Xiu to finish this research.
"Wouldn't it taste better if you put some water in it?"
Ciri used a spoon and bowl to solve the second pot that the Prophet had refined, and she had begun to like the taste as she got used to the unique taste of the dust of sin.
"What's that?" Qiao Xiu didn't know anything about the alchemy techniques of this world.
"Spices, sweetness."
The prophet teacher once again took up the work of popularizing science.
"Sweetness is enough, now some sourness is needed."
"Then use the juice of the sour heart fruit, when I used to eat that thing in the wild, I still remember the sour taste..."
Ciri has a wealth of experience in surviving in the wilderness, including judging whether some plants in the wild are edible.
The Prophet did not say anything, she was good at refining potions, not how to make them taste better.
So under the series of tosses of Qiao Xiu and Ciri, the light emitted by the dark green liquid inside the crucible became even brighter.
At this moment, the liquid inside the crucible has been out of the category of 'poison' from the outside, and it has begun to approach the 'dangerous radiation'.
"It seems... Got better? Qiao Xiu said with some uncertainty.
"Hmm... All I know is that glowing mushrooms must be poisonous. ”
Ciri looked at the liquid inside the crucible and couldn't hold it at all.
The Prophet still held a spoon and filled a bowl with a blank face, and then drank it directly and hiccuped.
"Non-toxic." The prophet repeated these two words again.
Qiao Xiu also directly filled a small bowl and tasted it in a small way.
The moment the tongue's taste buds come into contact with this bowl of liquid... Qiao Xiu was 100% sure that this thing was Coke.
Although it was dark green and glowing, the taste and texture were very similar, and some minor differences were simply impossible for Qiao Xiu to make up, but the taste was almost the same as that of Coke on Earth.
"I think all of you here should try it!"
Qiao Xiu played a bowl again and brought it to the front of the Earl of the Iron Country.
Coke was successfully born in this world, this kind of exciting thing, Qiao Xiu must find someone to show off.
"Drink, Count Cruz." Qiao Xiu said.
