Chapter 43: Amber Light
"You mean the shopkeeper invited me?" Zheng Qing pointed to his nose and looked at the waiter of the multi-armed clan in front of him, his tone full of doubt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The waiter at the bar smiled and nodded, affirming Zheng Qing's thoughts.
If the invitation came from the owner of the restaurant in Jota not far away, or the owner of the candy shop at the end of the street, Zheng Qing would not hesitate to agree.
But this invitation came from the owner of the wandering bar.
This forced him to think twice.
In addition to the gossip circulating on campus, "Into the First University" once clearly stated that the wandering wizard was a Palermo native.
Palermo's status in the wizarding world is similar to that of the world of White Ding.
In the world of White, when Palermo is mentioned, people associate history, football and the mafia.
In the wizarding world, people only think of black magic, black magic, and black magic.
For Zheng Qing, a newcomer who has not been in contact with the wizarding world for a long time, black magic is as terrifying as a flood of beasts.
"What should I do?" he said, looking at his companions for help.
"You can't refuse an invitation like this. Xiao Xiao took out his black-shell notebook from his pocket and held it in his arms: "But you can take us with you." If you want to come to the store, you won't skimp on a few drinks. ”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the waiter at the bar.
"The shopkeeper has instructed you to invite your partner if you don't mind. "The sound of the multi-armed echo horn is always magnetic.
"So," Zheng Qing looked around nervously: "What is everyone's opinion?"
It was not what he expected.
Everyone had an eager expression.
"It is said that the private room will provide 69 years of amber light!" said the fat man with a look of longing.
"Amber light?" Zheng Qing felt more and more lonely.
"A kind of wine produced in Dunhuang is said to be made with herbs, fresh milk, honey and moonshine, and some recipes are accompanied by He Shou Wu and yam. The amber light is heavy and full-bodied, the wine looks like condensed milk, and the taste is mellow and rich, and the color is golden yellow. ”
"Because of its long history, low production, and exquisite quality, this wine has always been sought after by wizarding nobles, and most of them have been collected by them and used as a treat. ”
Xiao Xiao held the notebook and was very dutiful to Zheng Qing to popularize the common sense of the magic world:
"In 69, due to the influence of the Baiding moon landing, Yuehua was polluted, and most of the amber light brewed that year was polluted and of low quality, so some of the well-established bars were able to get some bulk goods and provide them to ordinary guests. ”
"Sounds classy. Zheng Qing muttered.
"Dedication without reason, either treachery or theft. Zhang Jixin nodded solemnly: "But if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger, I think you should still go and see it...... I don't think he can play any tricks around the university. ”
If you wipe your saliva away, maybe it's a little more convincing to say that. Xiao Xiao made no secret of her disdain for the red face.
But he changed his words, but he also agreed to go to the appointment: "There is no harm in going and seeing, I will see it for a long time...... He's interested in you, but he doesn't know that I'm interested in this wandering wizard too. ”
In view of the fact that Downton and the others had already drunk high, after some discussion, the boys decided to have Zhang Jixin, Xin and Xiao Xiao accompany Zheng Qing to the appointment.
"It's a bit nervous, but I always feel like you're making a big fuss. Zheng Qing looked at everyone a little speechlessly, his expression a little helpless.
The multi-armed waiter looked at everyone with a smile and said nothing.
Soon, several young wizards ascended to the second floor of the wandering bar.
Compared to the hall, the private room is much quieter.
There were no waiters in the house.
The ceiling was hung upside down with several dragon's blood vines of various lengths.
Some glowing beetles crawled among the vine leaves, sucking the luscious vine juice and twisting their buttocks lazily, sprinkling a silvery white glow.
These small translucent insects are called light bugs.
The streetlights on the campus of the first university are lit by these little guys.
It's just that compared with the semi-wild lampworms in the school, the same kind of people in the wandering bar appear more crystal clear, and the light sprinkled is also brighter.
Beneath the dragon's blood vine is a glass coffee table with a plate of seasonal fruits.
Behind the coffee table, a row of large upholstery sofas are placed against the wall, and the black leather surface shimmers in a rich color in the silver-white light, making people look very comfortable.
There is a minibar in the corner.
Behind the bar is a small black wood wine cupboard.
At this moment, the wandering wizard was leaning against the bar, quietly looking at the small wine cupboard.
Zheng Qing found that even in this small room, the wizard did not take off his peaked soft hat.
His face still hides in the shadow of the wide brim.
Do you want to come up and kiss the back of his hand?
Or a finger?
Or cheeks?
Zheng Qing looked at the wrinkled face a little nervously, trying to recall the plot of the first episode of the movie "The Godfather" in his mind.
And then the eggs.
All he could remember was a hoarse voice that seemed to have a peach pit in his mouth.
"What's the matter?" the peaked soft hat tilted to the side of the guests, and the host's tone was very kind.
"Green bees will do. Zheng Qing said stiffly.
But before he could finish speaking, the two voices next to him had already rushed out.
"Amber light!" Zhang Jixin shouted.
"Amber light in '69!" Xin Fat looked at Zhang Jixin triumphantly, as if laughing at his inaccurate description.
"Could it be that there are other years of amber light here?" the red-faced boy retorted, blushing.
Zheng Qing hid his face and was ashamed to be with the two.
"I want green bees too. Xiao Xiao shook his head, took out his black-shell notebook, and collapsed on the sofa.
"Don't be inhibited, everybody. The wandering wizard greeted with a smile and patted his spell book.
A few wine bottles staggered to the guests.
The green bees are served in plain glass wine bottles, and the amber light is served in an opaque black clay pot.
"Brownish yellow in color, slightly cloudy, and lacking in wine...... It's really different from the one at home!" Zhang Jixin shook the cup with concern, pointed to the remnants of the night hanging on the wall of the cup, and glanced at Zheng Qing, and glanced at the fat man Xin.
Fat Xin pouted, no squeak.
"Bright green bee wine, shake amber light. ”
The wandering wizard chanted a phrase that I don't know if it was a spell or a poem, and then continued:
"Bee wine is light, suitable for those who are not strong enough to drink, and delicate minds, and amber is heavy, and it needs to be lively and strong to be able to suppress it. ”
"The choice of a few people is just right. ”
The wandering wizard stood behind the bar, and Zheng Qing could only see the corners of his mouth curled.
I could see that he was in a good mood.
"And this kind of statement?" Fat Xin looked at his companion suspiciously.
Zhang Jixin shook his head.
Xiao Xiao also shook his head.
As for Zheng Qing, he was at a loss from beginning to end.
