Before he got close to what Sigger called 'Liquor Street', Chen Xiansong smelled the wine, and the closer he got there, the stronger the smell became, and by the time he reached the street, the smell was so strong that he felt that his nose had lost his sense of smell. But Sigeil closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said comfortably: "It's really a refreshing taste, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, what do you think?" ”

Chen Xiansong originally wanted to cover his nose, but when he heard the words, he had to give up, and he smiled a little far-fetchedly: "It is indeed a good wine." ”

Sigearle didn't seem to notice Chen Xiansong's reluctance, but Claude noticed it, and he shrugged his shoulders unnoticed behind him, laughing softly, surrounded by noisy pedestrians, his laughter was instantly drowned out by the noise, and no one could hear it.

Because it's a street and a place for sake brewing, it's a bit dirty. The ground was full of water stains, mixed with broken peels and flesh, as soon as the four of them entered the street, the surroundings slowly quieted down, no way, the robe of the Soul Ponder was too conspicuous, and the status was also quite high, ordinary people did not dare to 'make times' in front of them.

Soon the streets began to be lively again, and many people greeted Sig'il loudly, and it seemed that she was an acquaintance here. Along the way, a similar situation keeps repeating itself. When the merchant on the street saw the four of them, he first quieted down, and then quickly greeted Sig'er, as if the sight of the girl would reassure them.

"Looks like you're prestigious here!" Chen Xiansong was behind, half admiring, half inquiring.

Sigeil looked back and smiled with a kind of lighthearted happiness: "Because I grew up here." She waved her hand in response to the wine merchants who greeted her next to her, and continued: "My family is in the fruit wine business, and I specialize in this knowledge, although Mr. Sosi was not very happy, but in the end he still acquiesced to my willfulness. ”

Claude answered: "The fruit wine of the Sigear family is the most famous and delicious in the city, and the greatest contributor is her. I remember when I was a child, Sigeel had not yet become a soul thinker, and her hotel, business was a bit ...... Leisure. It was only after she became a soul thinker that her family's business slowly improved, and then within a few years she became the number one in the city, and the people here privately nicknamed her, the daughter of fruit wine. ”

Sigeil laughed a little embarrassedly, but also a little proud, a girl supporting the prosperity of a family is indeed enough to make people feel quite accomplished.

She took Chen Xiansong's hand and kept running fast, and soon people thought that Chen Xiansong was the man she had found, and she whistled or shouted loudly from time to time, but she didn't react much. After running for a while, she took Chen Xiansong to a large building and walked in.

There was a middle-aged man in the store who was talking about business with people, and when he saw a figure coming in outside, he thought it was a guest, but when he turned his head to see that it was his daughter, he immediately laughed: "Sier, you don't study in the association, what are you doing sneaking home." ”

"Bring a few friends over and have a look." Sigeil let go of Chen Xiansong's hand and ran to his father to sell his goodness: "Isn't it good for me to come back to help?" ”

"Okay, okay."

The middle-aged man smiled lovingly. He had just seen his daughter holding hands with the boy standing outside, and he had some strange associations in his heart. couldn't help but look at Chen Xiansong, and after a while, he nodded with satisfaction. In his opinion, Chen Xiansong has a very good temperament, and he is also a 'soul thinker', and the two sides have a common language. On top of that, Chan Hyun Song gives him a rather 'clean' feeling. This kind of cleanliness does not refer to personal hygiene, but to a kind of cleanliness in temperament. He originally thought that his daughter and Claude were more compatible, but now it seems that the boy's conditions are better, but soon, he saw Bai Min, and under the amazement, he was a little unsure, after all, the position where Bai Min was standing was very close to Chen Xiansong, almost shoulder to shoulder, and it was obvious that the two had a very close relationship.

He was a little puzzled, since the other party had such a beautiful woman, why did he still hold hands with his daughter! He suppressed the doubts in his heart, smiled at his daughter and asked, "Daughter, who are the two over there?" ”

"Oh, he's a companion from Black Earth City, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong." Sigur pointed to the boy and said, "Another beautiful girl, who seems to be his maid. I don't know the name, so I don't dare ask. ”,

"Hello sir, first meeting." Chen Xiansong nodded, and then introduced the girl beside him: "This is my housekeeper, Bai Min, and I am also my fiancée." ”

Bai Min's eyes blinked, and the hands crossed in front of his abdomen moved slightly.

It turned out to be Bai Min. Claude secretly wrote down the name.

Fiancee! The middle-aged man felt a little disappointed and a little annoyed, since you have a fiancée, why are you so affectionate with my daughter. At that moment, his face lightened a little, although there was still a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, please take a seat, and Your Excellency Claude, I haven't seen you come to sit with me for a long time." ”

Claude smiled: "It's only about ten days, Uncle Ximei, you're too exaggerated." ”

The wine merchant, who had been talking about business with prunes just now, already had a dry throat when he saw the three soul contemplators, and taking this opportunity, he hurriedly took his leave and left the wine shop almost at a trot. Prunes went to the inner hall to move some chairs out. Sigur took advantage of this opportunity to open her hands and turn around quite cutely, her robe dancing lightly, and she smiled and asked, "What do you think of this shop?" ”

Chen Xiansong looked at it for a while and said, "It's quite neat, the design of the shelves is different from other stores, and it pays attention to order. In front of the jar of each fruit wine, there is a wooden sign with the name and taste of the liquor. I paid attention to it along the way, and other hotels don't seem to have this kind of convenient thing for customers to buy goods, it seems to be unique to you? ”

"Hee-hee, you're very observant." Sigear laughed a little proudly, "That's the design I came up with, not bad." I think it's a lot more convenient than other stores. ”

The floor of this sake brewery is quite tidy, which is very different from the messy situation of other sake shops, and there are simple product manuals, so it is no wonder that there are more customers here than other places. While they were talking, several guests came in from outside, but as soon as they saw three soul-contemplative inside, they immediately turned and left.

At this time, Ximei and the clerk brought chairs and tables, while Siger went to the shelves and brought down a few jars of different flavors of fruit wine, put a few delicate small bowls, tore off the cork of the wine jar, poured a glass of fragrant fruit wine for Chen Xiansong, and invited him to taste it with great anticipation.

The alcohol content of fruit wine is generally not high, and after Chen Xiansong drank it in one gulp, Sigeel asked expectantly, "How does it taste?" ”

"Yes, it tastes better than what I've drunk before." Chen Xiansong told the truth.

"Hey, then you can try this again." Sigur changed the jar, poured a cup for him, and then poured a glass for Claude next to him: "You can taste it too." ”

In this way, the two drank several glasses in a row. Alcohol is a good thing, but for people who are not too addicted to alcohol, it's just like that. Forced by etiquette, after drinking a few glasses, Chen Xiansong felt that his stomach was swollen, and seeing that Sigeil seemed to want to continue pouring wine, he hurriedly shook his head: "I don't usually drink much, and if I drink it again, I will get drunk." ”

Claude smiled on the side: "Sigear, you invited Your Excellency Chen to your house, not just to let him drink your bar, just talk about anything, I can see that Your Excellency Chen Xiansong is quite easy to talk to." ”

Sigeil stuck out his tongue and said with some playful disgust: "Claude, don't keep demolishing my platform...... Well, I asked His Excellency Chen Xiansong to come here, and there is indeed something about it. You should know that our Kate Kingdom is rich in fruit wine, and our Qingxi City is the best, but I heard that the wine of the Aurora Kingdom is a kind of rice wine, which is said to be made from grain rice, and the taste of different varieties of crops is also different. Your Excellency Chen should have been a citizen of Aurora before, did you know the correct preparation method of various rice brews? ”

Chen Xiansong shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in wine, and I haven't been exposed to this knowledge." ”

Sigeer's eyes lit up, and she sensitively grasped the loophole in Chen Xiansong's sentence, which said 'no contact', not 'unavailable or unreachable', which showed that the other party was capable of learning this knowledge.

"Your Excellency, as the daughter of a sake brewery, I hope to learn various ways to make wine." Sigairle said softly, "If you have a way to get the Aurora Kingdom's rice brewing technique, I'm willing to pay a considerable price in exchange for it. ”,

Sigair's father, Sime, was sitting beside him, and his eyes rolled when he heard this.

Chen Xiansong didn't know how to make wine, but he felt that Bai Min should be able to, so of course his eyes looked at the girl standing next to him.

"What method are you going to pay?" Bai Min asked as he stepped forward.

Sigear looked at this girl a little strangely, of course she had a little envy and jealousy in her heart for Bai Min's appearance, but she could also see it, and she didn't take the gap between the two sides to heart, after all, she was a rare female soul thinker, and she didn't look bad, but she was the marriage partner that most men chased.

"It depends on what kind of sake you have mastered." As soon as he talked about business, Sigeil's cheerful face suddenly became serious: "But even if it is the lowest grade yellow turbid rice wine, I am willing to pay three hundred gold coins for its recipe." ”

"How much is distilled liquor worth?" Bai Min stared at the other party, as a qualified housekeeper, it is also quite necessary to negotiate business for Xiao Song and fight for the best interests for him, which is the determined virtue of cyborgs being engraved into the brain chip.

It's just that for a moment, Sigeil was stunned for a moment: "Distilled liquor, does the Aurora Kingdom have this kind of liquor?" ”

Bai Min thought for a while with his brain chip and asked, "Do you have any other liquor from the Aurora Kingdom?" Can you show me? ”

"Absolutely." Sigur smiled and asked the clerk to take a few jars out of the back bunk. She herself is quite fond of the wine-making process, so she has a collection of most of the wine in the world, one is to taste, and the other is to 'crack', but the rice wine of the Aurora Kingdom, the manufacturing process seems to be more difficult than her like, she can use grain rice to make wine, but the taste is always wrong, it is quite unpleasant.

Several wine jars were opened, and the unique slight sour smell of rice wine came out, Bai Min looked at them one by one, and then she asked Sigeil, "How do you distinguish the grades of these wines here?" ”

"This is the highest! One gold coin per jar. Sigeil pointed to a jar of wine with the words 'Tian's Rice Brewing' written in Chinese characters.

"This one is the worst. Nine copper coins and a jar. "The second jar she was referring to had 'Yellow Turbid Wine' written on it.

Sigur sat down, pointed to the other jars, and said, "The others are pretty much the same, and the price is between three and five silver coins. ”

Chen Xiansong also went to the various rice brewing jars to take a look, they were all turbid wines, and the taste was not mellow enough. However, he didn't have much research on wine, so he didn't say anything and went straight back to his chair. Claude's gaze kept wandering over the two girls, but most of the time, his gaze was still glued to Bai Min's body.

"Distilled liquor is completely different from them." Bai Min thought for a moment and said, "Its color is as clear as spring water, and the aroma of the wine is very strong, the degree is high, and there are twelve different flavors. ”

"Wine as clear as spring water?" Sigur was a little skeptical: "Does that still smell like wine?" ”

"Not only is there any, but it's also very strong, and if you don't believe it, I can't help it." Bai Min looked straight at the other party, and her serious gaze made Sigeil a little stressed.

At this time, Ximei, who had been listening for a long time, interjected, and his expression was a little excited: "I heard that the emperor of the Aurora Kingdom has a kind of tribute wine, the name seems to be called Heluo Daqu, and it is said that it takes a thousand catties of grain to make about ten catties of wine. It is said that its color is as clean and beautiful as that of a stream, especially when it is placed in a magic crystal bottle, and when placed in the moonlight, it can appear like a small rainbow. ”

"I have also heard the name Heluo Daqu, it is said that it is a great nobleman inherited by Heluo for more than 2,000 years, and the secret of the Heluo Chen family is not ......" Sig'er also listened to his father's words, and only then did he remember this almost legendary liquor. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed vigorously at Chen Xiansong: "Heluo Chen family, as clean and mellow as spring water...... Could it be that you are! ”

Claude's eyebrows seemed to twitch upward, then soothed again, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The two father and daughter looked at each other, and after a short period of stunnedness, Sigeil took a breath: "Heluo ...... No, it's the recipe for distilling liquor, I asked for it, and I believed it. What kind of price do you need. ”

"Twelve flavors, five thousand gold coins for each flavor." Bai Min said. ,

"It's too expensive, if it's one or two, we can afford it, but twelve...... Our family business is small, and we can't pay so much. Sigeil turned his head to look at Chen Xiansong, and there was some pleading in his tone: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, everyone is a soul thinker, can it be cheaper." ”

Bai Min interjected: "It can't be cheap. ”

Chen Xiansong originally wanted to agree, but since Bai Min spoke first, he had to shut up. The book "The Necessary Self-cultivation of Natural Men and the View of the World" clearly points out that after a man gets married, the trivial matters in the family, such as making money and managing money, should be handed over to the woman. And the man, as long as he grasps the big things, it's fine.

Chen Xiansong deeply thinks that Bai Min will be his 'housekeeper' in the future, and of course she should be in charge of these things. But he had a question in his heart, what is the big thing? Or rather, what is the definition of a big event?

Hearing Bai Min directly interrupt the conversation between himself and Chen Xiansong, Sigeer was slightly displeased: "Even if you are the fiancée of His Excellency Chen Xiansong, you shouldn't be able to make a decision on such an important matter." ”

"I'm Xiao Song's butler." Bai Min said as a matter of course: "I have the right to deal with the family's financial income and expenditure. ”

If other housekeepers say things like 'being able to make decisions for their masters', most of them will be regarded as violating their duties, but Bai Min's temperament is like an empty valley orchid, beautiful and noble, and when she says it, it will only give people a feeling of convincing. The same thing, said in the mouths of different people, the effect may be completely different, and this is the role of temperament and aura.

Sigear was also convinced, her lovely face became sad, and she looked at it with some complaints: "But our family's liquid capital can only buy one kind of flavor...... Ms. Bai Min, why do you want to tell me that distilled liquor has twelve flavors! ”

"You can buy the next one and buy the second when you save enough money." Bai Min said lightly: "We are waiting for you in Black Earth City, and we promise not to tell others about other formulas within five years." ”

"If only there were two flavors!" Sigear said a little greedily: "That way it is easier to make a name, if there are two flavors, I am confident that within half a year, I can dominate the entire Qingxi City liquor market, and within five years, let the upper nobles of the entire Kate Kingdom know about our family's brand......"

Hearing this, Claude's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be moved.

Ximei suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words in Sigair's ear. The latter was a little embarrassed at first, but then nodded slightly, and then she said to Bai Min: "Madam, my father has picked up a strange object from the ancient magic era before, it is a treasure of our family, and even Teacher Suoxi has never seen it...... I want to fold it into 5,000 gold coins and change it to another taste, is that okay? ”

Ancient relics, that's the stuff of the 22nd century. When Bai Min heard this, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiansong, as if he was asking for his opinion.

"What kind of ancient relics?" Chen Xiansong was a little curious.

"A round disc-shaped thing, silver. The texture is very hard, and no matter how you cut it with a knife, it will not leave a single trace. On the contrary, the tool can be damaged. Sigear said slowly, "And in the middle of it, there is a green dot, kind of like an eye. It's usually green. If you leave it in a dark place for a long time, it will turn red, and if you leave it for a long time, the red spots will disappear, but if you take it out and dry it in the sun, it will slowly turn green again. ”

Hearing Sigair's description, Bai Min's body moved slightly.

"It's light and stiff, and I think it might be a special little round shield from the Ancient Magical Age." ”

Chen Xiansong nodded, of course he was very interested in things that were in the same era as himself: "Can you let me take a look?" ”
