Chapter 93 One Bowl of Fat
This wine is actually the famous 'Ten Mile Fragrance'? But you should know that this wine is extremely rare in other places.
However, as the bandit leader in this area, Cheng Peng naturally knew many little-known secrets.
When Cheng Peng said that this wine was not considered a top-tier wine, Xiao Lie, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but feel curious.
Without hesitation, he picked up the glass, tilted his head back, and poured the wine into his mouth.
Unexpectedly, the moment it entered my mouth, a strange taste—sour, bitter, and incredibly spicy—rushed straight to my head like a torrent.
Caught off guard, Xiao Lie spat out all the wine in his mouth with a "pfft".
At the same time, he shouted loudly, "What kind of wine is this?! Quickly bring me some water to rinse my mouth!"
Seeing this, Mei Yanyan couldn't help but giggle and said coquettishly, "I'm telling you, Xiao Lie, if you can't drink, then don't force yourself. This kind of fine wine can easily make people drunk."
Mei Yanyan's way of addressing Xiao Lie is becoming increasingly affectionate.
Xiao Lie rolled her eyes at her, annoyed, and retorted, "Stop talking nonsense. It's just that I've never drunk such a unique wine before. This wine is really too spicy."
At this moment, Cheng Peng heard Xiao Lie complaining that the 'Ten Mile Fragrance' was too spicy, and he immediately became arrogant and shouted at Xiao Lie.
"Young man, your alcohol tolerance is far from enough. This wine isn't even spicy. They have a special brew here called 'One Bowl to Dizziness,' which is truly spicy and potent!"
Upon hearing Cheng Peng say those words, Shanzi felt a surge of intense curiosity.
He blinked his big, inquisitive eyes, tilted his head, and asked, "Big guy, this wine called 'One Bowl of Dizziness,' does it mean that anyone who drinks a bowl of it will immediately fall into a coma?"
Cheng Peng was somewhat surprised to hear Shanzi's innocent question. He stared at Shanzi with wide eyes, unable to believe his eyes.
Then he grinned and said, "Hey! I didn't expect you little guy to know about this bowl of soup! Let me tell you, if I weren't so broke, I would really like to buy a bowl myself and try it out."
Back then, I only drank half a bowl, but that mere half a bowl made me remember its taste to this day!
The taste of that wine, wow... it's truly indescribable... it's simply beyond words, beyond words...
Just then, the Spirit King, who had been sitting quietly listening to the conversation between the two, was also successfully intrigued by the magical "one bowl of intoxication" described by Cheng Peng.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the busy shopkeeper not far away, "Shopkeeper, quickly send a pot of that 'one-bowl-to-drowsiness' that he just mentioned to each of our tables."
Upon hearing the noise, the shopkeeper hurriedly ran over, his face full of trouble. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a pained expression.
"Distinguished guests, it is true that we do have this kind of wine in our store."
However, its price is relatively high, and the stock is not large. You see…”
However, the shopkeeper's explanation was utterly insignificant to the wealthy and powerful Spirit King.
He waved his hand dismissively and replied with great magnanimity, "Let alone a thousand pieces of gold, what does it matter if it's ten thousand? As long as I can taste this legendary wine, everything is negotiable!"
I used to suppress my feelings because the country was really short of funds at that time.
However, since Yundan brought those wonderful inventions, the situation has changed dramatically.
First, there's Yundan's soap, which not only has excellent cleaning effects but is also very popular.
Next came charcoal, which provided great convenience for heating in winter;
Furthermore, the waterwheel made irrigation of farmland easy and efficient;
Finally, there were unique methods that made the land fertile. These innovations led to the gradual prosperity of the Kingdom of Ling.
Take that small bar of soap, for example; when it's exported overseas, its price can skyrocket dozens of times.
As a result, in the past two or three years, Ling Kingdom has made a fortune and earned a huge amount of money.
King Ling urged the shopkeeper again, "It's alright, just bring it up."
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hesitated slightly, but quickly stepped forward to explain, "Esteemed sir, our shop currently only has five small bottles of 'One Bowl of Dizziness' left..."
Before he could finish speaking, the Spirit King said magnanimously, "Go and fetch them all. With so many of us here, are you worried we won't be able to finish them?"
Seeing his distinguished guest's attitude, the shopkeeper felt helpless and hurriedly went to fetch the wine.
The restaurant was originally noisy and bustling, but when people heard that someone wanted to buy a bowl of this precious wine, they were all attracted and gathered around to watch.
Even if they can't taste it themselves, just smelling the rich aroma of the wine is a rare treat for them.
Before long, the shopkeeper and a waiter carefully placed the remaining five bottles of "One Bowl of Dizziness" on the table.
Then, the shopkeeper gently lifted the cap of one of the bottles. Instantly, an extremely rich and mellow aroma of wine filled the air.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Wow..."
The aroma of this wine is so pure and intoxicating that it's impossible to resist.
With a smile on his face, the innkeeper skillfully filled everyone's wine glasses and said loudly, "Distinguished guests, please enjoy! This is truly a peerless wine."
As soon as the bottle was opened, Cheng Peng exclaimed in surprise, "It smells so good! This is only the second time I've tasted wine with this aroma. It's truly extraordinary!"
Mei Yanyan, holding a small cup, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, will this small cup really make me drunk?"
Li Shiting picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, closed his eyes, and shook his head.
"Excellent! This wine should only exist in heaven; how often can one smell it on earth? It is fragrant, mellow, and has an endless aftertaste."
While everyone was still marveling at the scene, someone nearby suddenly broke out.
"Peptide, damn waiter, why won't you sell us good wine? Are you taking advantage of my lack of money? Here's ten taels of silver, I'll take the wine from the table next door."
The waiter said to him with a bitter face, "Sir, that wine was ordered by the customer as 'One Bowl of Dizziness'."
"We have other wines in the shop. If you'd like to drink more, I'll ask the manager to fetch you another pot of fine wine."
When the man heard what the waiter said, he angrily shouted at the waiter in a completely unreasonable manner.
"I want their kind of wine, and I'll take out two silver ingots. Go get them now; if you provoke me, I'll burn this lousy shop to the ground."
The sound was high-pitched and deep, like the resounding clang of striking a bronze mirror.
Everyone guessed that this person must be a tall, strong man.
The waiter, with a mournful face, explained to him, "Sir, this wine is a bit expensive. Twenty taels of silver isn't enough to buy even a small cup of 'One Bowl of Intoxication'."
Upon hearing the waiter's words, the man angrily retorted, "Just go and get it for me! Are you afraid I can't pay you back?"
The shopkeeper heard the customer next door cursing and swearing, and helplessly went over to try and calm him down. No one knows what the shopkeeper said to him.
The innkeeper led a burly man out. The man saw the wine on the table and, as he got closer, the aroma of the wine intensified, and he could no longer contain himself.
The burly man walked up to Cheng Peng's table and arrogantly said to Shanzi and the others, "Little guy, the shopkeeper said that there are only a few bottles of 'One Bowl of Dizziness' left here. Hurry up and bring me a bottle to drink."
Seeing his arrogance, Cheng Peng picked up the wine jar and retorted, "No way, this is our wine. Why should you drink it?"
The way he was protecting the wine bottle made Shanzi and the others laugh, thinking, "Isn't there plenty of wine? Why not give him a bowl?"
Just as Xiao Lie was about to take the wine, the screen not far away fell to the ground with a "bang," and then a thin, short man jumped over.
This person had a small head, messy hair, extremely long arms, and unusually large hands. He was thin and only about 1.5 meters tall. Once you saw this kind of person, you would never forget him.
Everyone was taken aback. Who was this short man? How did he suddenly push over the screen?
The man slowly walked forward, and with a "snap," a gleaming gold ingot suddenly appeared on the table.
All that was heard was the man saying, "Ten taels of gold, this wine is for me."
From the moment this person appeared, the Spirit King, sitting at another table, sensed that this person's inner strength was extraordinary, so the Spirit King focused all his attention on this person.
When Shanzi and his friends saw that yet another arrogant person had arrived, not only Cheng Peng was furious, but Shanzi and his friends were also unhappy.
Let's not say that everyone from Sujia Village is polite, but at least they're not bad in terms of manners. But that burly man was arrogant and domineering enough, and then suddenly this other one showed up.
