Chapter 393: 225 – Am I inferior to She Wan? _2
“This pot contains our signature drink, Tangxi Brew, are you interested in trying it?”
Originally, Wang Liang was here to promote Tangxi Brew and likewise to get acquainted with Feng Chenhao.
However, now facing this esteemed young man, Wang Liang no longer chose to promote but to actively offer!
He believed that not only would his boss not blame him for his choice but instead appreciate him more.
Once such an esteemed guest was successfully won over, it would mean more clientele for Shi Xi Hotel.
She Wan knew that Fang Mu had a habit of thinking during meals, so she was very dissatisfied with the arrival of Wang Liang.
She was afraid that the arrival of the Shi Xi Hotel manager would upset Fang Mu.
However, from Feng Chenhao’s current perspective, he felt that the manager’s offer of wine was a face-giving act.
Fang Mu looked at Wang Liang, grinning before him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Somehow, Wang Liang became somewhat panicked under Fang Mu’s gaze.
Because Fang Mu’s eyes seemed unusually deep to Wang Liang, his own gaze struggled to penetrate to the bottom of Fang Mu’s eyes.
Understandably, his Destiny Guardian Beast has the ability to sense a person’s mood and preferences, yet he could not discern the young man’s emotions before him.
Given his age, being a Five-Point Star Beastmaster, his capability should far exceed that of the young man.
If the manager of Shi Xi Hotel were here to promote food, Fang Mu would definitely ask him to leave.
Fang Mu hated wasting food. This time, Feng Chenhao had ordered too many dishes, and Fang Mu could not reveal his enormous appetite.
So definitely, a large portion of the food would be left over.
But when faced with Wang Liang promoting the wine, Fang Mu instantly became interested.
Fang Mu had previously drunk liquor from Chang Le Pavilion in this world. At that time, Fang Mu thought the liquid of Chang Le Pavilion was too mellow.
However, the people in this world love strong liquor.
Shi Xi Hotel was very famous in Lu City, and its specialty liquor was sought after by many dignitaries.
Fang Mu wanted to try the Tangxi Brew from Shi Xi Hotel.
After tasting two top-notch wines, Fang Mu basically was able to understand the wine production process of this world.
With this understanding, Fang Mu could start making his own wine.
Fang Mu intended to make strong liquor the signature of the Mu Commerce Association.
The main ingredients for wine-making are grains and sophisticated techniques, making it essentially an investment-free business.
And since liquor is a consumable, no matter how much is produced by the Mu Commerce Association, it will eventually be consumed.
There’s no need to worry about the market being too saturated to liquidate.
Seeing that Fang Mu didn’t speak for a while, She Wan thought that Fang Mu was very dissatisfied with Wang Liang’s arrival and prepared to drive him away.
Wang Liang locked eyes with Fang Mu for a moment. Unable to sense Fang Mu’s attitude or emotions, he grew more tense.
Just then, Wang Liang heard the boy in front of him say in a gentle voice.
“It’s my first time tasting Tangxi Brew, can you introduce it to me?”
Hearing Fang Mu’s words, Wang Liang swiftly grabbed the jade pot and filled a Golden Lotus Leaf Cup for Fang Mu.
The Tangxi Brew was a light emerald color, the golden cup was engraved with several lotus leaves, like the creek in early autumn.
Several flower buds reared their heads on the lotus leaves, poised to bloom like ideas.
The design and imagery were all ideal, but when Fang Mu lifted the wine cup to taste, he realized.
The Tangxi Brew must have had many medicinal materials with health benefits added, and therefore the medicinal smell was exceptionally strong!
This less than thirty-degree liquor could hardly suppress this strong medicine smell.
This wine was even worse than what Fang Mu could purchase for three dollars in mini-markets in his previous life!
After a casual sip, Fang Mu set the Golden Lotus Leaf Cup aside and listened to Wang Liang’s proud and haughty explanations.
“Not only is Tangxi Brew unique in Lu City, it can even be considered a treasure in the whole Dragon Rising Federation!”
“We use Peach Blossom Water from White Stone Stream during early spring, and then we mix in various secret ingredients.”
“The most precious ingredient in the secret recipe is the antler of Jade Antler Flower Deer; you probably won’t be able to drink such a strong liquor anywhere else!”
Last time when Fang Mu dined at Sea Banquet Palace, he did not drink any alcohol.
Feng Chenhao never enjoyed dining without wine, so seeing Fang Mu pick up the wine cup, Feng Chenhao also took a small sip.
As soon as the Tangxi Brew touched Feng Chenhao’s lips, he exclaimed in delight at this wonderful liquor!
The Beastmaster world mainly focuses on the cultivation of Guardian Beasts, and has not explored the microorganism level.
So they must not know that brewing relies mainly on the collective effects of alcohol-making bacteria, penicillin mould, sugar-producing bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, butyric acid bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, sugar-producing microorganisms, and various other bacteria.
Missing just one type of bacteria would affect the taste of the wine, making the wine lack clarity no matter how long it is left to settle.
The higher quality the ingredients used for brewing, the stronger resistance they naturally have against bacteria.
Even after years of maturing, the resistance of the ingredients would instinctively reduce the alcohol level.
Low level alcohol is also inconvenient for storage, and if stored improperly, the aged wine would have an acidic taste and a moldy smell.
Various conditions led people in this lifetime to love wine, but they could not brew high-alcohol wine.
Wang Liang was very satisfied with Feng Chenhao’s responses.
But Fang Mu, who had drunk the Tangxi Brew, showed a calm expression, and even stopped drinking after just one sip, not giving the Tangxi Brew another chance to be tasted.
This surprised Wang Liang.
Could it be, has the young man in front of him drunk better wine?
Even if he had drunk better wine, this bottle of Tangxi Brew could never be so bad as to be undrinkable!
