Chapter 183 Even dogs don’t drink this wine, I said so

"Oh, I'm full. I can't eat any more."

After eating three set meals alone, Anjie held her belly and said.

For those who don’t know, I probably think she has the kind of bird-like stomach that says she’s full after just a few bites.

Jiang Jin, on the other hand, nodded while slowly tasting this unique "Pilgrimage Party Cake":

"This dessert is quite interesting... I'll try to recreate it when I get back."

"Hey? Really? Then I will add osmanthus sugar to it."

"You can add whatever you like, and it will definitely be delicious if you make some chocolate sauce."

"Yeah, yeah, by the way, there are many other desserts in this tavern. You can take some away and try them. They all taste great. Many people even come here just for the desserts."

Indeed, as Anjie said, the most surprising thing in this bistro is the dessert.

Except for the "prayer square cake" and "candied lemon ice cream" that the two of them just had.

Jiang Jin also saw that basically every guest had at least a plate of various desserts on their table.

Here is the "Cream Cheese Roll", which is a deep-fried, crispy tube-shaped biscuit filled with sweet ricotta cheese.

There are "fried puffs" that are sprinkled with silvery white icing on the surface, are soft and fluffy, and look very Christmassy.

There is a "jam cream pie" garnished with black cherries and filled with candied berry filling and creamy egg liquid.

What’s even more amazing is that, with the exception of Anjie, most of the customers in this tavern are middle-aged and older men.

He is the kind of alcoholic who looks very rough and has various wine glasses on the table.

But these unshaven and disheveled drinkers have a special liking for girly desserts, which can be considered a strange sight.

Of course, these desserts are said to be made by the bar owner himself, which is a bit outrageous.

Anyway, it was hard for Jiang Jin to imagine the scene of the one-eyed, one-legged middle-aged man with a murderous face making desserts in the kitchen.

It's just that although the desserts in this "Executioner's Tavern" are delicious, the tavern is still a tavern after all.

Naturally, this kind of place cannot be very quiet. Rather, it is actually very noisy.

Drinkers exchange glasses here one by one, eating, drinking, laughing and cursing.

While they were venting their grievances in their daily work and life, they were also talking about some interesting things that had happened recently.

Near the corner where Jiang Jin and An Jie were sitting, the conversation of several men in their thirties attracted their attention.

"I said, the future Pope's engagement ceremony is less than eight days away, and it will definitely be very lively by then."

"It's not just that time, it's already very lively now. I heard that there are people coming from all the way from other countries."

"That's right, such a grand engagement ceremony is rare. Martina's previous wedding ceremony was much worse. It seemed that no one cared."

"Of course, that eldest lady has a bad temper, and her arrogant expression makes people angry just by looking at her. How can she compare with Her Highness Dorothy."

"I heard that she was pregnant out of wedlock at the time, so the Governor-General had no choice but to marry her off in a hurry, so naturally there was no way to make a big deal about it."

The drinkers talked about anecdotes about the engagement ceremony, and these words naturally reached the ears of Jiang Jin and Anjie.

Jiang Jin had heard that Martina, who was called the eldest lady, was Anjie's eldest sister, the governor's eldest daughter.

Judging from the comments of these drinkers, it seems that they are not very friendly to Martina, and even the words they say are very unpleasant.

As a result, Anjie couldn't help but frown slightly as she listened, seeming a little unhappy.

After noticing her displeasure, Jiang Jin whispered to her:

"How about we leave first, it seems a bit noisy here."

"It's okay...listen again, maybe you can hear some useful clues?"

When Anjie heard about her eldest sister for the first time in a long time, she was actually more emotional than angry.

Among the three eldest ladies in the Governor's Palace, Anjie is a born evil person, and the eldest sister Martina also has a very bad reputation among the people.

Naturally, outsiders will not know the reason for all this, but Anjie knows it.

She knew that Dorothy had been influencing Martina from behind since she was very young.

On the surface, that vicious woman is very affectionate with her sister, but in fact, she has always regarded her as a roadblock for her.

Therefore, I always try my best to induce my sister to do stupid things in various places, and at the same time spread all kinds of bad rumors.

Martina is straightforward and has no scheming ideas, so she is always led by Dorothy.

Even some actions against Anjie were often guided by Dorothy.

So rather than being hateful, Anjie felt more pitiable for this eldest sister, who was actually being played by her younger sister to such an extent.

Just as Anjie was thinking this, the topic of the four drinkers not far away suddenly turned a corner and turned to herself.

"Hey, there are also many disasters in the Governor's Mansion. Among the three sisters, only one, Dorothy, is a normal person, and the other two are not so good."

"To put it this way, Martina is much better than that woman. At least she looks like a human being, not a mad dog."

"Don't say that, Miss Anjie has been sent to study abroad, and she is probably much more normal now."

"Will she become normal? Are you kidding me? When she sees a dog on the street, she has to kick it. She is so vicious in her bones."

......

Regarding the comments made by these drinkers towards Anjie, Jiang Jin had actually expected it.

That's why he wanted to take Anjie away early to avoid hearing some bad comments that would worsen his mood.

But what surprised Jiang Jin was that Anjie had no expression at all after hearing these words.

Hiss...She has been said like this, isn't she still angry?

As if she felt Jiang Jin staring at her strangely, Anjie curled her lips and said:

"You must be wondering why I'm not angry, right?"

"...Hmm."

"The reason is very simple, because I'm used to it. Since I'm used to it, I won't get angry because of this little thing."

Anjie raised her chin and raised her eyebrows at the four drinkers over there, looking indifferent.

Compared with the previous emotional changes when others talked about her eldest sister, when the topic came to Anjie, she was completely unmoved.

It should be said that I am used to it, or that I am numb.

Since Anjie was very young, similar remarks have been appearing throughout the Holy City.

If she gets angry every time she hears similar remarks, then Anjie will only be angry in her life.

At this time, Anjie picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the inferior bitter ale and said with a smile:

"So as long as it's not a provocation in front of me, I won't take this level of discussion behind the scenes to heart. Just say whatever you like."

Speaking of which, it is a good thing that Anjie can be so open-minded about this kind of encounter.

But looking at her nonchalant smile, Jiang Jin felt sad.

Hiss...huh.

So he picked up his wine glass, stood up, turned around and walked in the direction of the four people.

"Hey? What are you doing?"

"After eating enough to eat, you can just sit down."

Under An Jie's surprised gaze, Jiang Jin picked up the wine glass and walked to the wine table where the four middle-aged men were sitting with a smile.

Seeing a strange young man running over, the four of them also looked at him.

And one of the strong men with a sinister face took the lead in asking Jiang Jin:

"Boy, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just want to buy you a drink."

"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Then bring the wine quickly."

"No problem...it's coming."

As Jiang Jin spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and slowly tilted the glass on the head of the strong man.

Wow... Wow. Wow. Wow.

The cold bitter ale was slowly poured from the cup and flowed down the strong man's head until his clothes were soaked through.

At that moment, the strong man's face turned red with anger, but he wanted to stand up before he slapped the table.

But he found that the hand pressing on his shoulder seemed to be carrying a thousand pounds of force, and he couldn't even stand up!

After seeing their companions being bullied, the three men sitting at the same table immediately stood up, picked up the wine bottles, and shouted to Jiang Jin:

"You brat! Are you looking for a beating? I will let you..."

Before they could finish their words, a crisp sound interrupted their meaningless words.
To be continued...
