The Zuimeng Tower was closer than Lin Haoming imagined. After walking out of the city lord's palace for less than a quarter of an hour, he came across a three-story pavilion. There was a plaque of "Zuimeng Tower" hanging on the door of the courtyard outside.
If you just look at the appearance, this is just a restaurant that can be seen everywhere on Xuanxing Island, but I didn't expect it to have such a big name here.
Walking into Zuimeng Tower, Lin Haoming saw that the restaurant was bustling with people, and he did not refuse others to come to drink and dine here because of the arrival of himself, the new city lord.
But when Lin Haoming followed the two elders to the top floor, Lin Haoming found that the first floor had been cleared, apparently for himself.
"Mrs. Ni, this is our new City Lord Lin in Changgu City!" Gu Qingyun introduced the boss here, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties.
"I have met City Master Lin!" The beautiful woman is in her twenties, tall and neatly dressed. She is not as delicate as ordinary women. The person in front of her is more capable, presumably because she runs this restaurant.
"Mrs. Ni, there is no need to be polite!" Lin Haoming also said politely.
"City Lord Lin, please!" Mrs. Ni led Lin Haoming to the largest room in the restaurant quite generously.
The decoration in the room is not gorgeous, but there are just a few paintings hanging around. These paintings are either of people drinking alcohol, or of people falling asleep after being drunk.
There was a big table in the room, and a lot of wine and food had been placed on the big table. After Lin Haoming sat down, he looked at the wine jar in front of him and asked curiously: "When I came here today, I heard about Mrs. Ni's drunken dream.
Could it be that the wine in the building is Hui Meng Wine? From the name of the wine, it seems that it can make people drunk into dreams!"
"City Lord Lin, it is true that you have Huimeng Wine before you, but Huimeng Wine is not as mysterious as you said. Huimeng Wine was originally called three days of drunkenness. This does not mean that you can be drunk for three days, but that you can drink it within three days.
Next, if you don’t use Xuan Qi to force out the smell of alcohol, then most people will get drunk with just a few drinks. As for the term Huimeng Wine, it actually changed not long ago. A hundred years ago, after the former Lord Fang drank it,
After being drunk for a long time, when he woke up, he realized something from the dream and advanced his cultivation, so he came here and changed his name after being drunk for three days." Mrs. Ni explained.
"Isn't City Lord Fang the missing one?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Indeed, City Lord Fang broke through to the Seven Mysteries a hundred years ago. When he traveled overseas more than thirty years ago, he seemed to have discovered something. He came back and made preparations to hunt for treasures, but he never came back!" Gu Qingyun regretted.
explained.
"City Lord Fang has not been in Changgu City for a long time. It seems that he has only been the City Lord for more than a hundred years, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"It's true. Before City Lord Fang, there was City Lord Tao. City Lord Tao was also Lord Tao's grandfather. He retired more than two hundred years ago because his life span was almost over. He died in the city more than a hundred years ago!" Gu Qingyun looked at it!
Glancing at the only woman among the six principals, she said.
When Lin Haoming heard the introduction from Yi Fanchen before, the woman among the six principals was Principal Tao, who was responsible for the management of the wine shop in the city. In Changgu City, she could be regarded as the highest-ranking among all the principals. Lin Haoming was a little strange at that time, but now that he knows her
She is the granddaughter of the old city lord, so she understands.
"Elder Gu, if we don't talk about this, Mrs. Ni, please don't let Chief Lin Cheng sit down!" Chief Tao said with a smile.
"Sister Tao is right, City Lord Lin, please!" Mrs. Ni took the initiative to open the wine seal, poured a glass for Lin Haoming, and then filled it up for the two girls next to Lin Haoming.
"Mrs. Ni, we won't bother you!" When it was the next person's turn, Yi Fanchen took the initiative to take over the wine jar, and then filled it up for everyone.
Mrs. Ni also poured herself a glass and said to Lin Haoming: "I am here, so I would like to borrow this glass of wine to welcome City Master Lin to his arrival. Please take good care of City Master Lin in the future!"
"As long as Mrs. Ni operates with peace of mind and does not violate the laws of Huangtian Palace, Lin guarantees that anyone who dares to cause trouble here will have trouble with me!" Lin Haoming said in a flawless manner.
"Thank you very much!" After hearing this, Mrs. Ni drank a glass of wine.
Lin Haoming also drank it in one gulp, and immediately found that the wine was somewhat like the Baicao nectar wine he brewed, except that it was not stronger, and the wine also had the sweetness of licorice.
"Good wine!" Lin Haoming praised after putting it down.
Mrs. Ni smiled and complimented her a few times before leaving. As she left, plates of exquisite dishes were served one after another.
"Before I came to Changgu City, I knew a little about Changgu City. There seems to be no big family named Ni in Changgu City. Who is this Mrs. Ni?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Mrs. Ni's surname is indeed not Ni, it is her late husband's surname!" Gu Qingyun explained.
"Oh! So she is a widow!" Lin Haoming was a little surprised.
"It is true that Mrs. Ni has been a widow for many years. As for her identity, City Lord Lin just heard that she and Master Tao were called sisters. In fact, it is not wrong that she is indeed Master Tao's sister." Yi Fanchen said.
"Her mother is my father's cousin. However, my cousin has had her own opinions since she was a child. When she grew up, she refused the marriage arrangement arranged by her family and married her deceased husband. As a result, she became a widow within a few years. The only person left behind was
This is the Drunken Dream Tower."
"Did she develop the dream wine that time?" Lin Haoming asked.
"That's not true. In fact, it was researched by her late husband. Her late husband's name was Ni Qiankun. He was nicknamed Ni Qiankun in the city. He was originally just an ordinary clerk in the wine shop, but he was extremely talented and wanted to make his own wine.
After making a wine that is comparable to the three major tribute wines, we finally brewed this dream wine, but unfortunately due to defects, it still could not become a tribute wine." Manager Tao explained.
"Although it has not become a tribute wine, it is now known as the best wine in Changgu City. This is not simple. Then how did Ni Qiankun die?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This matter is very strange. Some people say that it is because the owners of the three major tribute wines are worried that the new wine brewed by Ni Qiankun will take over their status, so they sent people to secretly poison and kill them. Others say that Ni Qiankun did not try it himself in order to make wine.
He used few materials and even some poisons, but in the end too much poison accumulated and he died from the poison." Yi Fanchen recalled, but there was obviously a hint of weirdness in his words.
"So, he was poisoned to death?" Lin Haoming asked seemingly casually, but his eyes noticed the vigilance in the eyes of several people around him.
"It is true that he died from poison, but I don't know if he was poisoned because Ni Qiankun was experimenting with materials at the time. This incident indeed caused a storm in the city. Mrs. Ni broke up with her family because of this and ran the restaurant by herself.
, it has been more than a hundred years." Yi Fanchen continued to explain, as if he wanted to make this matter clear, or to tell Lin Haoming about it, or even come here to eat for this reason.
