Chapter 200 Night Talk Over Wine
For this poor village, the three of Du Long can be described as well-dressed, and this is the appearance of their long journey and dusty appearance.
In particular, the two beauties, who were as beautiful as immortals, even looked straight at the villagers, and they were as shocked as fairies descending to earth!
From time to time, Du Long and Princess Huofeng smiled and waved to the surrounding villagers. Only then did he realize that the daredevil is not just the guards on the earth wall who are strong and strong. They are all two heads taller than themselves, and their bodies surrounded by animal skins are all extremely strong!
"Brother Hu! I never expected that all of you people in the Manhu Kingdom are so strong!" Du Long sighed softly.
"Hehe! If I want to survive in the wild land of the northwest, if I don't have this strong body, my Hu people would have been wiped out by all kinds of monsters long ago!" Hu Guo replied with a gloomy gaze.
"Brother Hu Guo, I haven't seen any crops during this journey. What do you live on?" With a slight nod, Du Long asked the question he had been wondering.
"We generally make a living by hunting, and then we mine some ores and some nearby specialties, sell them to merchants in the Haotian Empire, and use the money we earn to exchange for a year's worth of food and daily necessities!"
"Oh! You Hu people are so strong, you must have an amazing appetite! Under such circumstances, can you feed all the villagers every year?" Du Long asked again.
Shaking his head, Hu Guo shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile: "How is this possible? Every year in the cold winter, people always starve to death due to lack of food. In our Manhu Kingdom, only those who are physically strong can get more food. The weak get less, so the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker! Every year, people starve to death due to lack of food!"
Nodding his head, Du Long didn't say anything more, he had already obtained the information he was most concerned about!
Following the bearded village head to his home, a strong middle-aged woman greeted her, and Hu Guo shouted directly to her: "Madam! These three are distinguished guests from the Haotian Empire. The diamond sand demon that I got from my family is made as an appetizer, today I will treat the guests from afar!"
"Okay! I'm going to prepare now!" The strong middle-aged woman readily agreed, and then greeted Du Long and the others: "Three distinguished guests, it's cold outside, please sit on the pit Warm up, I'm going to prepare butter milk tea!"
"Thank you sister-in-law!" Du Long and the other three hurriedly said politely.
Accompanied by Hu Lei, I tasted the unique butter milk tea of the Manhu Kingdom. To be honest, this kind of milk tea has a nice name, and the taste is really not good.
This is clearly boiled with goat's milk mixed with grass seeds from the Great Northwest Wilderness, without adding any sugar or other seasonings. Compared to the people here, white sugar is a rare and precious commodity.
"Hahaha! Little brother Du Long, you three are not used to drinking this kind of butter milk tea, are you? Many merchants from the Haotian Empire were not used to drinking it at first, but after coming more, everyone likes this kind of tea. Unique taste! Take your time, I believe that as long as you drink it a few times, you will also fall in love with this most popular butter milk tea in our Great Wasteland!" Looking at the three of Du Long who really frowned, this hospitable Northwest The big man let out a hearty laugh.
"Hehe! Brother Hu Guo laughed. It's the first time I'm not used to drinking butter milk tea!" Du Long replied with a slightly embarrassed smile.
Then, in front of others, he took out a bottle of white sugar and poured some directly into the buttered milk tea. Then Du Long asked the second daughter with a smile, "Do you two want some white sugar?"
Naturally, Huofeng handed over her bowl of buttered milk tea without saying a word, and after helping her pour some sugar, Du Long looked at Xia Qinglian, only to find that this girl was staring at the buttered milk tea in front of her in a daze, with that expression There was a clear sense of grief.
"Qinglian, Qinglian! What's wrong with you?" Holding the bottle of sugar, Du Long yelled several times in a row before waking her up from the sluggish state.
"Ah, what's the matter?" Xia Qinglian who came to her senses asked in confusion. Obviously, Du Long had been busy for a long time, so she didn't notice it at all.
"Qinglian, what's the matter with you? What are you in a daze for? I'm asking you if you want to add some sugar to the buttered milk tea?" Du Long asked with some doubts.
"No, it's nothing!" Xia Qinglian replied hesitantly: "I don't need to add sugar to mine, but drink this butter milk tea without sugar, it's the original taste!"
"Haha! This little girl is right. People in the wilderness drink butter milk tea and never add any sugar. Only in this way can it be considered authentic butter milk tea! Some towns near the Manhu Kingdom, in order to match your Hao To satisfy the appetite of the people of the Heavenly Empire, sugar was added to the buttered milk tea, and the taste changed completely!" Hu Guo explained shaking his head.
The sky gradually darkened, and amidst the whistling of the northwest wind, a large plate of delicious stewed diamond sand monster meat was placed on the top of the pit, plus a plate of noodle cakes and a jar of white wine. Dragon their dinner!
In addition to Hu Guo's wife, the two of them also had a six-year-old son sitting together. Good guy, he is only six years old. It seems that his body weighs at least a hundred catties. Just like an adult, surrounded by a piece of animal skin!
In order to express his gratitude, Du Long took out a few bottles of fine wine from the space of Pan Snake Ring. The wine in his hand was of course a good thing with a very fragrant and pure taste, all of which were centuries-old jade spring fragrance!
Back then, Du Long was really reluctant to buy so many centuries-old Yuquanxiang, which cost hundreds of gold coins a bottle, but now, a bottle of hundreds of gold coins is nothing to him.
Huofeng reached out and took a bottle of century-old Yuquanxiang, and then directly opened the wooden cork, a strong aroma of wine immediately wafted out, making Hu Guo, who was about to open the jar of baijiu, freeze on the spot.
After taking two sips of such a strong wine aroma, he immediately knew that he had come across a really good wine today, so he had the nerve to open the baijiu he had kept for a long time. Compared with others, it was a world of difference!
"Come! Brother Hu and sister-in-law! Thank you for your family's hospitality today, and try the delicious wine we brought from the Haotian Empire!" Huo Feng enthusiastically poured wine for Hu Guo and his wife. Fortunately, the two parents-in-law did not know Huo Feng's Princess status, otherwise how dare she sit there so carelessly and accept the wine poured by her personally?
"It's delicious wine! I can't do it, I have to pay for it first!" Putting a full glass of white wine under his nostrils and sniffing it suddenly, Hu Guo couldn't help admiring on the spot. Judging by his appearance, his saliva was almost drooling .
Sigh...
Hu Guo couldn't bear the wine worm in his belly aroused by the smell of fine wine. With just one sip, a whole glass of fine wine disappeared. Their family in the Great Northwest Wilderness, how could they prepare the kind of liquor for drinking? A small cup, called a cup, is actually no different from a bowl. A bottle of wine can only be poured into three bowls at most before it bottoms out.
"Ah! Good wine, good wine! I have never drunk such fine wine in my life! Brother Du Long, what kind of wine is this, and why is it so mellow?" After drinking a glass of wine, Hu Guo praised again and again.
"Hehe! This is the famous fine wine in Xingchen Continent - Centennial Yuquanxiang!" Du Long explained with a smile.
"Oh, so it's a hundred-year-old jade spring fragrance..." Hu Guo nodded and responded casually, stroking his beautiful beard. Then, he jumped up in shock as if he suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Brother Du Long, what do you say?" Is this a century-old jade spring fragrance? Not a ten-year jade spring fragrance?"
