Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Astonishing Four (4)
Tequila is the most common drink of the Nozik people, and it is known as the three major drinks of Nozik, along with sugar cane, coconut juice and salt soup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Unlike the Dorand customs, the Nozik people have a very vague definition of "wine", only knowing that it is a drink that will sleep if you drink too much, regardless of the time and place, you can drink it whenever you want.
Drinking wine as water sounds incredible. It has to do with the ingredients and the brewing process.
Tequila's raw material is the broad-leaved cactus that grows in the canopy of tall trees in the jungle, and compared with its brothers in the desert, it has the broad leaves like a fan -- if you compete with tall trees for sunlight in the dense forest, the leaves are small, and it is a death!
Then there is the brewing process, the Nozik people's brewing process is very backward, they don't know how to purify, they don't know what distillation is, and the fermentation time is short, and the wine brewed is naturally light and tasteless.
When the envoys of the Shenma Alliance met with the chiefs, they had already demonstrated the alliance's superb winemaking skills, which fully aroused the interest of the chiefs. When they heard that craft tequila tasted even better, many people rushed to join the envoys just to try the "dark hell tequila" that was blown by the envoys.
As soon as the wine was served, everyone sat upright.
The corners of a white-bearded chieftain's mouth twitched: "Sun God, what do I see, the black crystal bottle? twelve of them? No, I need to talk to Hall Addison, why do I have to go back." ”
A bald-headed and bald-eyed chief sitting next to him said, "Old Hall has made a lot of money this time, and he will definitely not do it if he wants him, and he will have to exchange things for it-is not enough for twenty female slaves?"
Another chief, who had a swamp leech on the bridge of his nose, carefully held up the vase with both hands, looked at it, and said, "Twenty is not enough, and the crystal vase is carved with tweed, and this eagle shield flower is only the size of a fingernail, how much work and manpower do you have?"
Several chiefs hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, each bottle had the same eagle shield pattern in the same position. Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they forgot about drinking.
Crystals are hard to serve! This is recognized by craftsmen. Even the hardest obsidian can't gnaw at it, and a piece of crystal has to be carved into shape, and there is no way to do it except dip it in water and polish it a little bit. If you make some trinkets or something, you can still deal with it, and you can make it into the shape of a bottle with a big belly, a long neck, and a narrow mouth? No craftsman would dare to take on this kind of task.
Now, there are 12 people who make a move! Good financial resources!
Some chiefs think further.
A mere wine bottle can be so exquisite, but what if it is a bow, arrow, sword, gun and armor?
Atlas is far away from the emperor, and this alliance of gods and horses is close at hand! Old Hall doesn't know which god's thigh he has embraced, and he trembles all of a sudden, and now he is in the routine of saluting first and then soldiering, he wants to be ruthless, who can stop it? Besides, join the alliance, live in a spacious and beautiful city, take a flat and straight road, have good wine to drink, what else is there to lose?
The white-bearded, bald-haired, and nasal man exchanged glances with each other, and the white-bearded coughed and was about to speak, however, at this moment, the untimely voice sounded again: "I have seen this bottle in Atlas, and it was sold by the Dorand Kingdom in the north, and the eagle emblem on it may be the family crest of the chief." ”
The white-bearded man stood up, choking in his throat with this sentence, and his expression was wonderful.
In the distance, in front of the True Vision Circle, Riley almost cried angrily: "Why is this guy so annoying! Obviously I made a bottle! The eagle coat of arms on it is the symbol of the future country of Tenotiran, how can it be so shameless!"
Royce gritted his teeth: "I saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, you say, do you want an arm or a leg?"
George laughed: "It's okay, the higher he jumps, the worse he falls." I thought there was some kind of trick, this level of small fighting, Hall Addison could handle it. ”
In the venue, Hall Addison was not angry, and said with a smile: "Since it was sold from Doland, how much is this bottle worth?"
The envoy of the Okdawil tribe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Hall Addison to ask like this, and replied angrily: "I haven't bought it again, how do you know how much it is?"
Solida stood up suddenly: "It's not right for you to say that, such a unique shape of the vase is unforgettable, since you have seen it with your own eyes, how can you not know the price?"
The white-bearded beard smiled and said, "Maybe it's been a long time, and I can't remember the exact number." Brother Travel, you can tell you an approximate number. ”
"This ......," Travel of the Okdavir tribe was embarrassed for a long time, "probably, fifty thousand." ”
The bald man and the nose-piercing man laughed and leaned back with laughter.
Travel was annoyed: "What are you laughing at!"
The bald man said, "Don't be kidding! Although I don't know much, I also know that there is a kind of small round hard cake that is used for trading over there!"
The nose-piercing man immediately offered an assist: "No, no, I think, it was Brother Travel who exchanged the money over there for a mistake, I'm afraid we won't understand, right?"
Travel seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, this is it, this is it!"
Solida struck a blow through her heart: "You lied, you just said that you don't know how much money! You don't even care about how much money, how can it be converted into a disaster? You haven't seen this bottle at all!"
Everyone, including Hall Addison, burst out laughing.
Travel slapped the table angrily: "Hall Addison, you invited us to come, we came sincerely, are you being teased like this?"
A cold glint flashed in Hall Addison's eyes: "Slow!"
The guards on both sides clenched their hilts at the same time.
The atmosphere froze instantly.
Hall Addison said slowly: "Today's events, everyone is looking at them, who is right and who is wrong, everyone knows very well in their hearts. Brother Travel, what happened just now was caused by this bottle, and I disposed of it and gave you an outlet. As he spoke, he grabbed a vase, raised it above his head, and fell it down!
With a crisp snap, the vase was torn apart and the wine was overflowing!
The crowd exclaimed in disbelief at the same time!
The bald man and the piercing man screamed hysterically, the white-bearded lips trembled violently, Sorida trembled all over, and the other chief with chalk painted on his face fought with his upper and lower teeth.
Travel was also stunned, and after a while, he said, "This, this, why bother? Even if it's not worth so much money, it's still a treasure......
The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the rich and mellow taste is like a small hand, drilling into the nostrils and itching on the tip of the heart. The polished smooth slate floor has poor water absorption, and the clear and transparent wine pulp flows freely on the ground, and many old wine insects present can't help but lick the corners of their mouths.
Hall Addison sighed, "yes, it's not worth a few bucks. As he spoke, he picked up a bottle and smashed it to pieces!
The white-bearded man screamed, clutched his chest and sat down in the chair, and the bald man hurriedly came over to rub his chest; the man who wore the nose didn't care about etiquette, and a tiger pounced, and grabbed Hall Addison's hand tightly: "Brother Hall, a joke, why take it seriously, why take it seriously! Don't smash it, don't smash it! Wine is drunk, drunk!"
Hall Addison smiled, walked to Whitebeard's side, took out a delicate small crystal bottle, pulled the stopper, and shook it in front of Whitebeard's nostrils, Whitebeard's turbid breathing suddenly lightened a lot, and after a while, he actually opened his eyes. His first words were: "Brother Hall, what a good wine, what a good bottle, you want my life!"
Hall Addison clapped his hands: "Dude, listen to you, don't smash it, let's drink, I'll take care of it!"
Solida gasped for breath as she tried to calm herself.
Valuable treasures, smash them, what kind of financial resources and what courage they are!
You can't go wrong with following such a tribal alliance!
