Five Elements Continent, west of Southern Fire Empire, Lihuo City.
In the Southern Fire Empire, Lihuo City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city, but it is quite prosperous in all aspects. The garrison only has a very small number of 2,000 people, but the security here is surprisingly good. The wide streets are spotless, and all the main roads are spotless.
The ground is paved with the dark red granite unique to the Southern Fire Empire. Using this kind of rock as brick paving is not only beautiful, but also durable. As long as there is no man-made damage, there will be no problem even if it is used for hundreds of years.
It is already evening, and the setting sun has left a gorgeous sunset on the horizon. Lihuo City has become more and more comfortable. People who have not been busy working for a day have begun to enter their rest time. Various entertainment venues suitable for the evening have also followed.
Get lively.
Lieyanfenqing is one of the most famous wines in Lihuo City. It is located next to the main road in a prime location. Its main color is red like most buildings in Lihuo City, but its red is more vivid. The taller one
The two-story building is not its biggest selling point. What attracts customers the most is the open-air square in front of the wine door.
The open-air square is about 500 square meters, with a circular platform with a diameter of ten meters in the center. Several of the most famous bartenders of Lieyanfenqing Liquor will mix drinks for the guests here every night, even on rainy days.
There is never a shortage of guests, and the roof that can be pulled up at any time to cover the entire open square is enough to cope with it.
There is no winter in the Southern Fire Empire, so the nights here are never deserted.
At this time, several bartenders from Lieyan Fenqing were already in place, and the number of guests in the open-air square was gradually increasing. For them, this was the busiest moment of the day.
An old man in a red robe walked into the open-air square. As soon as he stepped into the square, a waiter with a smile on his face immediately greeted him and led him to the middle of the open-air square, closest to the center stage.
The ten tables surrounding the central table are not for ordinary guests. They are all reserved for VIP guests. There is no doubt that the old man in red robe is one of them. Moreover, the place where he sits is facing the street.
Here is the A-shaped table.
The old man in red robe has short gray hair, rosacea, small eyes, and a short stature. He looks very inconspicuous no matter how you look at it. But the faint red light that occasionally flashes between his small eyes seems to
There is a soul-stirring power.
"Mr. Yang, are you still the same?" A middle-aged man in a formal dress came over and bowed gracefully to the old man in red robe. Only guests at the VIP table could be personally entertained by the wine boss.
Yang Lao said helplessly: "Except for the unique flavor of your place, the burning flames, there is nothing that attracts me."
The boss smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment." As he said this, he turned around and snapped his fingers at the oldest bartender behind the center counter. The bartender immediately understood and took out a clean crystal flask.
, quickly started his first job of the day, which is also the most important job for him every day.
Soon, all kinds of wine were poured into the shaker in order, put in the strainer, and the lid was closed. The shaker immediately started dancing happily in the hands of the bartender.
Since the cocktail flask is made of transparent white crystal, you can clearly see the color of the wine inside during the mixing process. When the bartender shakes it quickly and skillfully, the red wine in the flask
It was like a bunch of flames flying up and down, which was really beautiful. When the flames finally calmed down in the hands of the bartender, the lid of the wine bottle had been opened at some point, and the bartender poured out the dark red wine.
In a martini glass, when you swung it from the lamp next to it, a light red flame ignited above the wine, and the rich and spicy aroma of the wine spread...
The smooth movements of the senior bartender of Lieyanfenqing Liquor and the aroma of the special Lieyanfenqing Cocktail immediately received applause and smiles from nearby guests. Mr. Yang was no exception and nodded to the bartender.
, when his eyes fell on the glass of wine, his little eyes couldn't help showing a bit of impatient expression.
Soon, this glass of fine wine was delivered to Mr. Yang. He took the glass directly from the waiter's hand. Mr. Yang took a sip, completely ignoring the flames burning on the wine. He took a long breath and praised the wine boss: "Okay.
, it still tastes good enough. I’ve been drinking it for five years, and it still makes me, an old drunkard, linger. No wonder your business here is so prosperous."
The wine boss smiled respectfully and said, "As long as you are satisfied."
At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded from the side, "Can this be called good wine? It's just garbage." The voice was not loud, and was slightly hoarse and weak, but it could not cover up the arrogance in his words.
.
"Huh?" The wine boss and Mr. Yang looked in the direction of the voice almost at the same time. I don't know when, a thin little beggar wearing tattered clothes squatted not far from the table.
His eyes were focused on the cup of burning passion, and his dim eyes were full of disdain.
The wine boss frowned slightly and looked sternly at a waiter not far away. Only then did the waiter notice the existence of the little beggar and ran over quickly, "I'm sorry, boss, I didn't see him come in."
The wine boss waved his hand and signaled the waiter to pull the little beggar out quickly so as not to affect the business. In front of Mr. Yang, he couldn't act too strong.
The little beggar stood up on his own. His face was dirty, he was thin, he looked about eleven or two years old, his disheveled hair had not been washed for who knows how many days, and he inevitably had some unpleasant smells on his body.
smell.
The waiter came over with some disgust and wanted to pull him out, but Mr. Yang said, "Wait a minute." Without the boss's signal, the waiter quickly retracted his hand and looked at Mr. Yang hesitantly.
Mr. Yang's eyes fell on the little beggar, "Kid, did you just say that this cup of flaming wine is not good? I don't know where you have seen better wine. Tell me." The pursuit of fine wine can be said to be his life.
One of my greatest interests.
The wine boss hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang, what can a little beggar know? Don't let him spoil your drinking pleasure." People in the Southern Fire Empire like to drink the most, and the competition in the wine industry is naturally extremely fierce. This boss is really afraid of what's happening in front of him.
The little beggar said which other liquor store in the city had good wine, attracting the distinguished guest in front of him. You know, Yang Lao comes to his place to drink every day, and it is not a matter of how much income he brings.
