Chapter 465: Using wine to describe people

It's not surprising. With the reputation of ghost wine, I jumped into the ranks of super-rich people. For these barmaids who earn one or two gold coins a day.

One million gold coins is an unimaginable and immeasurable wealth. Even if a little bit slips through the gaps between their fingers, it is enough for them to enjoy for a lifetime.

It is too normal to exchange one's young and beautiful body for the ladder to heaven.

And Gavin's appearance is also outstanding, plus his special special ability.

In the past, I didn't feel much when facing those special women. Now that I have suddenly returned to the ordinary world, my lethality is fully demonstrated when facing these women at the bottom of society. The typical male BUFF is stacked up - young and rich, successful in career, good conversation, full of charm, and natural goodwill.

As the person involved, Gavin, his eyes look at his nose and his nose looks at his heart, staring at the hands of another man in the field with full concentration. It's not that he has any special hobbies, but he is attracted by the other party's superb bartending skills.

After Craven got the ghost wine, he did not start debugging immediately, but calmed down and closed his eyes in deep thought.

This was certainly not a pretense, but a way to tune with the ghost wine and sense its properties. Craven's increasingly cold breath proved this.

When this breath merged with the ghost wine, he looked gloomy, with a black mist wrapped around his body, looming, and at this time, the whole person moved, and a set of cocktail equipment, as if alive, jumped into his hands automatically.

His cocktail equipment was very strange, mainly a huge shaker, and the rest were all glasses of different sizes.

Without the help of any tools at all, the cork of the ghost wine jumped out with a bang, and the other party used his own strength to squeeze the cork out, and the whole bottle of ghost wine was poured into the shaker by him.

As the shaker began to shake, various auxiliary wines and materials were added to the shaker one after another.

Without using a measuring device, every time he did it, he was extremely accurate, not a cent more or less, even for freshly squeezed juice.

The whole process lasted for more than three minutes, smooth and pleasing to the eye. Even Gavin, who had never been interested in this, watched intently, fearing that he would miss a detail. Anything that reaches an extreme is an art, and this old man's bartending skills are no exception.

Regardless of the taste, just based on this set of actions, he can be ranked in the top three in the City of Glory, and it is not an exaggeration.

A shaker shook out a total of 14 glasses of wine, and each glass was different.

Not only were the cups used different, but the colors of the wine inside were also different, from clear as water to turbid as soup.

The two cups pushed in front of Gavin and Luna completely showed two extremes.

The cup in front of him looked clear at first glance, then turbid, and when he looked closely, it was bottomless. Was this a secret message about his personality?

The cup in front of Luna looked unclear at first glance, but in fact it was pure white. Half Moon Ju did not drink it, but turned to look at her, and the meaning of the question was obvious.

This is a strange place. Is it appropriate to drink a glass of mixed wine with unknown amount of things added?

Gavin did not answer her directly, but picked up the wine and took a sip.

Seeing Gavin's reaction, Luna no longer hesitated, picked up the ghost wine in front of her, and began to sip it little by little like them. She had drunk ghost wine, but she had never had the opportunity to try it in the state of Half Moon Ju and after she turned into a human.

According to her understanding of Gavin, he dared to do this, either because he knew the group of people in front of him very well and believed in their character, or because he made other preparations, and there were other powerful beings following them to protect their safety, such as the dog demon that often lurked in the dark.

Compared with the former, Luna believed that the latter was more likely. Soon Half Moon Ju didn't care about these things, and was completely intoxicated by the unique taste and feeling of the wine in front of him.

Gavin was also carefully savoring the uniqueness of the blended ghost wine. At first, it had the unique coolness of ghost wine.

In the process of mixing the wine, Craven did not use any ice cubes or anything like that, and did not even add any cooling ingredients. He added more neutral and warm substances. This completely neutralized the deep coldness of the ghost wine that would explode in the stomach, but did not weaken the heat-relieving effect.

It tasted bitter at first, then sweet, and a little bitter when it was tasted. In the end, it turned into a mouthful, a mouthful, and a stomachful of sweetness, just like his own life. After four rounds of twists and turns, he finally accumulated a mouthful of sweetness.

Using wine to describe people.

This old man definitely used wine to describe people, and then used wine to evoke the person's reflection on his own life.

It doesn't matter whether the wine is good or bad, people are already drunk in it.

Just look at the reactions of the female mages and waitresses next to them.

Some held their wine glasses and laughed foolishly there.

Some were full of sorrow.

Some sobbed quietly.

Others couldn't help but burst into tears.

No two reactions were the same.

Gavin's reaction was the mildest. At most, his expression changed a few times before he returned to normal, showing strong self-control.

Craven couldn't help but give Gavin a thumbs up. He had seen this kind of self-control before, but this was the first time he had seen it in such a young man.

Taking a long breath, Gavin said from the bottom of his heart: "The old man's level of bartending is completely beyond my understanding. This is no longer just a drink, but an art, a kind of magic. The negative energy contained in ghost wine is used to the extreme.”

Negative energy easily resonates with human emotions and combines to give birth to various undead creatures, especially spiritual ones.

This is what Craven takes advantage of, using ghost wine as a catalyst to arouse the emotions of the person involved, make them extreme, and then release them through catharsis.

Whether it is sadness or happiness, once it is vented, the whole person will definitely feel a lot more relaxed.

"It's not that my bartending skills are good, but that the ghost wine itself is unique enough. Without this kind of wine, no matter how high my bartending skills are, I wouldn't be able to create this kind of cocktail out of thin air." Craven said humbly, "This is the first time in my life that I have made this kind of wine. Since I am using your husband's wine, please help me come up with a name for it!"

"Observe the mind!" Gavin replied without thinking.

"Guan Xin Cocktail! Guan Xin with wine, this is a good name, we will call it this name from now on, it will become the new signature of our Antler Pot Tavern." Craven instantly understood the true meaning of Gavin's name. , but in the end couldn't help but change the subject, "But there is a small prerequisite, that is, I can buy the ghost wine produced in your manor, otherwise this sign is just empty talk, your wine is really too popular. , it is said that there are no more than a hundred in the entire Glory City. I went to ask my old friend, but I just saw and touched it, and there was no chance to get it. "

From the beginning to the end, the tavern owner did not question Gavin's origins. It was not because he had met him, but because he knew how difficult it was to get ghost wine.

Even if the other party is a liar who can deceive someone with a bottle of ghost wine, he is not an ordinary person.

Therefore, before you are sure that the other party is fake, you should take it seriously. This is the instinct of an old adventurer.

"This is simple." Gavin took out a twenty kilogram barrel of ghost wine from his Howard bag, placed it on the bar and said, "This is the ghost wine for my own use. I will give it to the old man as a gift." Bartending fee, thank you for letting me taste such a unique ghost wine. If there are more bartenders like you, my ghost wine will be better sold.”

Craven couldn't help but feel that the ghost wine in front of him was the same as the previous bottle, except for the difference in the container.

Now it is basically certain that the young man in front of him is not a counterfeit with ulterior motives, but the owner of Vizeme Manor, because at the ghost wine auction, all the items auctioned are bottles of ghost wine, in barrels, which are available on the market. No circulation.

"Then you're welcome." Craven was not the kind of coy person, he laughed and said, "I'll accept this barrel of wine. If you want to drink Guanxin cocktail in the future, just come to me, provided that Yes, ghost wine comes with it.”

Craven is still full of confidence in his bartending skills.

What Olila said before was a bit conservative. Among the bartenders in Glory City, he is not the top three, but the well-deserved number one. In the entire Northland, there are few who can match him in this aspect.

If you want to ask him to bartend, you have to make a reservation in advance, and it depends on your mood. Every time you do it, it will cost at least a thousand gold.

This skill alone can make him make a lot of money every day, but it is a pity that this former soldier and former thief has reached the age where he regards money as garbage. Compared with those nobles with hypocritical and ugly faces, he prefers to settle down. Phil's simple pastoral life, by training a few disciples, might be able to add some ink to Faerun's adventurous life in the future.

Gavin tapped on the bar, pondered for a few seconds and then said: "Old sir, I want to negotiate a deal with you."

"Oh? What deal?" Craven's curiosity was aroused.

"I still have a part of the ghost wine cellar in my manor. I can give you one hundred bottles of ghost wine at the same price as our original auction price in the valley, and I guarantee that I will sell you one hundred bottles of ghost wine at this price every year in the future." Wen is a big spender from the moment he gets started.

The auction price of ghost wine in the valley is 180 bottles. In the Glory City, it has been sold for 320 bottles. There is still no market price. The price difference alone is as high as 14,000 gold coins, which is equal to 100,000 gold coins. Wenbai gave it to Craven.

Moreover, this is a long-term transaction. From now on, Craven will not have to do anything else but resell the Shadow Wine, earning tens of thousands of gold coins every year.

Due to the uniqueness of the Guanxin Cocktail, in the future there will be a large number of excitement-seeking nobles from the Glory City who will come to the Antler Pot Tavern to taste the wine. It will not be difficult to directly create ten times the value, because the cocktail, a certain To a certain extent, what is sold is technology, and when it comes to pricing, the most important factor is just one mouth.

As long as you dare to ask for it, it's not surprising that a cup of ten thousand is provided, provided that someone pays the bill.

Craven is a veteran adventurer who has seen the world. He is not easily confused by money. He smiled and asked: "What do you want?"

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Once there is, it will definitely have benefits you don’t know about.

Gavin did not hide it, and said directly: "I want your authorization from Guanxin Cocktail to allow me to teach others this mixing technique, and to mix and sell this cocktail in other places."

Of course there is no protection of property rights in Phelan.

Gavin did this simply because he didn't want to antagonize a powerful former adventurer, and he would do it openly and honestly if he could get anything in exchange for benefits.

This proposal was completely beyond Craven's expectation. He had never seen all kinds of weird transactions in his life, including trading with souls, but he had never heard of buying one with money.

His ability to accept was also extraordinary, and he instantly understood the young man's plan in front of him.

My own Guanxin cocktail has broadened the channels for using ghost wine and can be used as the main cocktail in any pub, especially in big cities.

The most important thing is that the young man in front of him has a unique advantage. He has a monopoly on ghost wine. When he opens a Guanxin cocktail themed bar, no one can compete with him in this regard because he can cut it off at the source. This kind of competition.

But there is a prerequisite: he must have a large number of bartenders who can prepare Guanxin cocktails.

Craven sighed and said, "I can give you the authorization, but do you think any bartender can learn the bartending skills I just used?"

"For ordinary people, it is indeed very difficult, because the skills are easy to learn, and it is in tune with the ghost wine, and it is difficult to take the opportunity to observe the state of the wine taster and prepare the emotional seeds that blend with his emotions and let him release his emotions. But it’s not too difficult to copy, especially for those who specialize in emotional control and negative energy, it’s easier to get started.” Gavin directly looked at the appearance and got to the essence of Craven’s Mind-Taking Cocktail. .

Craven, the creator of the mind-watching cocktail, was fooled by Gavin's theory.

Because he mixes drinks entirely based on experience and instinct. If you really ask him to tell you the root cause, he will have to scratch his head. After all, his understanding of negative energy is far less than Gavin, who has been soaking in it recently. Experience.

But if you think about it carefully, what Gavin said does contain truth, and it fits perfectly with this mind-watching cocktail.

The tavern owner couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him again, and couldn't help guessing: "Young man, you won't tell me that you have learned how to make a mind-watching cocktail, right?"

"I'm not sure, but I want to try it. Mr., can you borrow the bartending equipment?" Gavin nodded, then shook his head. The most important thing about this mind-watching cocktail is that it can arouse emotions. , only by doing this can we be considered successful.

"Okay." Craven walked out from behind the bar. His curiosity was completely aroused. He wanted to see what the young man in front of him could do.

Gavin was not polite and walked directly in. There was a big switch of identities with Craven. He became the bartender, and the tavern owner became the guest.

While picking up the huge wine shaker, imitating Craven's previous appearance, shaking it back and forth, he said to the tavern owner: "I won't mix multiple cups at once. That is not only too heavy on the spirit, but also harmful to the body." The skills required were too high, so I tried to make a mind-watching cocktail for the old gentleman.”

As soon as the other party got started, Craven knew that the young man in front of him was a complete novice in bartending. Even if he tried his best to imitate, his movements were basically correct, but overall he felt unfamiliar and lacked the beauty of flowing water.

This situation only lasted for a few seconds. As the other party kept shaking the shaker, his movements became more and more skillful and beautiful.

Craven didn't call him a genius, he just confirmed one thing through this, that is, the opponent has rich combat skills and is good at using various weapons.

Many things are connected.

Shaking a potion shaker and being good at using melee weapons have something in common - balance.

During this process, don't just use force. When necessary, follow the weapon and the cocktail mixer.

When this is done, beauty arises.

That is what is often said as flowing clouds and flowing water.

It is estimated that the other party saw through this and dared to try.

But what surprised Craven was still behind. The young man's shadow seemed to have come to life, winding up and overlapping with it, and a cold aura suddenly filled the air.

From the wine barrel that had the lid opened, a stream of ghost wine flew out automatically. It was directly sucked into the cocktail shaker that had been completely shaken, and then it was quickly operated.

Since Craven couldn't see the various actions he had taken to make the wine before, there was no way to compare. However, the other party's addition of ingredients was exactly the same as when he had mixed the wine before, including the order of addition.

After the opponent showed his proficiency in melee weapons, he also showed his strong memory.

Wouldn't he really make a Guanxin cocktail in one go?

This thought surged into Craven's mind uncontrollably, and the more he looked at it, the more likely he felt that this possibility was very high. This feeling did not come from the perfect reproduction of his movements. The most important thing was that this young man named Gavin , the aura revealed at this moment has completely merged with the Guanxin cocktail being prepared.

This is the key to the whole thing, the secret that makes the cocktails he mixes beyond ordinary people.

This is the secret that he figured out after immersing himself in it for half a century. How could it be broken and learned so easily?

Even though Craven thought he was broad-minded, he felt mixed emotions at the moment.

Just when his mood was extremely complicated, he heard a bang, and a glass of freshly made Guanxin cocktail was placed in front of Craven.

Gavin said in a deep voice: "Please."
