Chapter 24 [This Wine Is Poisonous]
Dragon's liver and phoenix eyes.
Keel phoenix tendons.
Dragon's blood and phoenix marrow.
Dragon's heart.
The dragon flies and the phoenix dances.
The dragon and the phoenix.
The dragon and the phoenix chirped.
......
The dishes were served quickly, one after the other.
Each dish is like a work of art, perfectly presenting the flavors of the fire dragon and the ice phoenix.
It is worthy of being a dragon and phoenix feast known as a gluttonous feast.
In fact, on the way back from Tingsong Pavilion, Zi Su heard Queen Qingling say that the chef in charge was Wu Fugui, the kitchen god she invited from the capital, and he was once the first knife in the imperial dining room.
Only he can make this dragon and phoenix feast a good one.
It is said that there is no banquet without wine.
Yanxing is similar to the earth, and it also has a rich wine culture.
As a luxurious dragon and phoenix feast, the wine used in it also has regulations, that is, the national wine of each country.
The national drink of the Flame Empire is the 53-proof Flame Wine.
Yanjiu is produced in Yishan, the birthplace of the Yan River, the largest river in the Yanhuo Empire.
The water used in the wine is taken from the iceberg snow water that flows down from Yishan.
This kind of water quality is excellent, the taste is slightly sweet, which makes the Yan liquor brewed by distillation particularly luscious, with the characteristics of outstanding sauce aroma, elegant and delicate, mellow and plump body, long aftertaste, and long-lasting fragrance in the empty cup.
Its excellent quality and unique style are incomparable to other liquors in the Flame Empire, and it can be said to be deeply loved by the people.
In the past, the price of hot wine was not so high, and most of the citizens of the empire could afford to spend it during the New Year's holidays.
It's a pity that in recent years, the price of Yan Liquor has been artificially manipulated, and the more it is sold, the more expensive it becomes, and now a bottle of ordinary Yan Liquor costs 8,888 Yan coins.
The luxury type costs 88,000 bottles, which is simply a money grab.
Shisu saw that on the banquet of more than a dozen tables, at least two bottles of luxurious Yan wine were placed on each table.
If you make such a casual calculation, the wine money alone will probably cost several million Yan coins.
Speaking of the purchasing power of the Yan Coin, it is about twice as high as the Federation Currency of the Earth Federation.
An ordinary person's annual income of about 10,000 Yan coins is considered good.
And a family of three, in a year, the average is about 8,000 degrees.
A bottle of wine is worth a dozen ordinary families for a year.
This dragon and phoenix banquet is really extravagant.
Fortunately, the two ingredients of the fire dragon and the ice phoenix are ready-made, otherwise it would be absolutely sky-high if you buy them with money.
And it's not something you can buy if you want to.
If Shisu hadn't realized that the appearance of the fire dragon and the ice phoenix was too accidental, and it should be the masterpiece of the Qingling Queen, then it would be impossible for him to become a famous interstellar adventurer on Earth.
It seems that the Queen has put a lot of thought into this engagement.
But she probably would never have imagined that her fiancΓ© would have lost his breath and changed people at a critical moment.
When Shisu sighed inexplicably, the waiter had already opened the hot wine and filled everyone's wine glasses.
The whole hall is filled with the mellow aroma of hot wine.
Shiso used to be a prodigal son who loved wine, and he was very interested in wine, and he always felt that under the cover of the rich and mellow aroma, there was another special smell in the wine.
When he stared at the Yanjiu in the cup, the rotation of the martial artist dragon ring in the dantian suddenly accelerated, and the martial arts list asked in a deep voice, "Master, do you want to identify this item?"
Isn't it only items related to warriors that can be identified?
Is it also considered hot wine?
Zi Su was surprised, and immediately replied calmly in his heart: "Wu Bang, give me an immediate appraisal." β
Bite!
System prompt: 10 points will be deducted for identification.
If the appraisal is successful, 1 point will be awarded.
Points remaining: 11.
Here are the results:
Name of poison: [Crispy tendon cartilage wine].
Poison ingredients: Crisp tendon cartilage powder and Yan wine are blended according to a certain ratio.
Poison effect: It has a huge poison effect on the muscles and bones of the warrior, and also has the effect of temporarily inhibiting the output of the warrior's true qi.
Time limit for poison: 24 hours.
......
Seeing this, Zi Su already understood why Wu Bang suddenly reminded that this Yan Wine was no longer an ordinary Yan wine, but a poisoned wine mixed with poison.
The use of poison also belongs to the category of martial artists, but the use of poison belongs to the evil sect and is not tolerated by righteous martial artists.
The nine-winged bluebird was very excited with the wine, as if she didn't know that the wine was poisonous, she stood up and raised her glass and shouted: "Come on, come on, let's make this cup together, I wish our young master Shiso and the queen a happy engagement, and grow old together." β
Everyone immediately picked up their wine glasses, stood up, and shouted in their mouths: "I wish Young Master Shisu and the Queen a happy engagement, and grow old together." β
Just as everyone wanted to kill the hot wine in their hands, Shisu shouted at the right time to surprise everyone, "This wine can't be drunk!"
The nine-winged bluebird pouted and said, "Shisu, this wine has just been opened, why can't you drink it?" With that, she really took a big sip.
However, no one here is worried about her, because everyone knows that she is an all-powerful divine bird.
"Young Master, why can't you drink it?" Ziyun couldn't help but ask, this was also a question in everyone's hearts.
Shiso calmly replied, "Because this wine is poisonous." β
Yes!
Poisonous?
Everyone screamed, they couldn't believe that this freshly opened hot wine was poisonous!
"Shiso is right, this wine is indeed poisonous. Queen Qingling was not shocked, as if she already knew, she turned her head and asked the nine-winged blue bird, "Qingjiu, how is it?"
"What a waste of good wine. The Nine-Winged Blue Bird spit out the wine he had just drunk and continued: "Report to the Queen, the news is true, and sure enough, the wine is filled with crisp tendon cartilage powder secretly refined by the Yishan Demon Gate. If a warrior drinks this poisonous wine, he will temporarily lose his strength and mobility, and he will only be caught. The most terrifying thing is that they will make captured warriors into invulnerable poisoners. β
When everyone heard this, their faces changed dramatically.
The newly appeared Yishan Demon Gate is even more evil and terrifying than the former Xuanyin Demon Sect, and their evil art of refining poisonous people is said to have been transmitted from the white country far away in the West.
There are many poison masters in this white country, and the most powerful poison is said to be refined by the powerful miracle martial god.
Queen Qingling snorted coldly and said: "The Huo family is really calculating, and they even want to use poisonous wine to capture us in one fell swoop when this king and Zisu are engaged, but unfortunately they colluded with the Yishan Demon Gate to raise the price of Yanjiu, and the matter of making fake Yanjiu to make money and poisoning Yanjiu to harm people has already happened." This time, in order to eliminate the scourge left by the Fire Family, not only did the king and the three hundred purple clothes come to Huolong County, but the top ten masters of the Imperial Dragon Guard had already led a team to Yishan to intercept the masters of the Demon Gate. They are destined to not be able to turn over. β
The Nine-Winged Blue Bird smiled: "Without the support of the Demon Gate, there are only a few powerful masters left, and this Divine Bird alone can take care of them all." β
Queen Qingling shook her head and said, "We all know that you are powerful, okay, wait a minute, then you will be the one who will take care of the Huo family alone." β
Zi Yun was puzzled in her heart and asked, "Your Excellency, since you know that the wine is poisonous, why don't you replace it in advance?"
Shisu naturally didn't have such doubts, but he also wanted to hear Queen Qingling's explanation.
Queen Qingling took out a bottle of elixir and said with a smile: "This is the antidote to the dispersion of the muscles and cartilage, this king has already prepared it, even if everyone drinks poisonous wine, it doesn't matter." The reason for not replacing the poisonous wine was originally to confuse the enemy and lead out hidden spies. However, it seems that it is not necessary now, because he has already taken the initiative to confess. β
