Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 645 Smell

"Oh, that's it. So you took some time out to go shopping by yourself at night?"

"Yeah, yeah." Apollonia nodded, "Uncle Fu, you won't take me back, will you?"

"This is Shangluo's own business. I never care about anything that has nothing to do with me. I think Shangluo should have a better understanding of his own situation than an outsider like me. So, I won't say too much. After all,' It's not like any quarrel between dogs."

"What is that? What is that?"

"Don't ask. In short, I know the principle of estrangement. You can handle your family's affairs by yourself. But if you want to have some wine, I have to confirm one thing: student ID card verification Just a moment. Or other documents that can prove your identity."

"what"

"You didn't bring it, did you?"

“I brought my subway monthly pass”

"Okay." Fu Yuanshan glanced at him, "No problem, you are old enough to buy wine. If you go to buy wine and someone asks you, just show him this monthly card."

"Ah, so it's so scary? What will happen if you buy alcohol before you are old enough?"

"You have nothing to do. The most you can do is criticize and educate. But the person who sells you wine will be sued. So as a law enforcement officer, I have to take a closer look. After all, I am too lazy to fish for law enforcement. I wish nothing happened all day long. clear?"

"Yeah, I understand."

"So, what would you like to drink?"

"I want wine, something sweet."

"Sweet? Wine? Wait." He looked at Apollonia, "You should know, right? When the wine is fermenting, the sugar should have been fermented into alcohol. You want to drink sweet wine? Not really No. But if you want to drink something very sweet, I have to confirm. Did you make a mistake?"

"Ah" Apollonia was stunned, "Wait, let me search."

The two were silent for five seconds.

"No, I can't find it." Apollonia put down her phone, "What on earth was I drinking? I looked up wine, and there was indeed very little sweetness in it. But among the few, there didn't seem to be the one I drank. Kind of."

"It's normal that it can't be found. The coverage of the spiritual network is quite limited now. Although Qi practitioners are very knowledgeable people, because the base is too small, there are always places that cannot be covered. Please tell me about what you drink. What does wine taste like?”

"Grape flavor."

"." Fu Yuanshan touched his forehead, "Since it's wine, you can tell me something other than grape juice."

"The sweetness is a bit like honey, a very mellow sweetness. And then there are the aromas of apricots and peaches. I can only smell the taste but not the texture, so that's all I know."

"The sweetness of honey, the aroma of apricots and peaches, right? Let me think about it." He thought for a moment, "I probably know what it is, but I have to confirm it specifically. Do you smell the aroma of grass?"

"No."

"Ah, then is there one? Let me describe it - it's like soaking dead wood with water. It comes from the aroma of the wood itself. After this aroma is mixed with the sweet aroma of honey mentioned above, it is actually better than the aroma of grapes. The stronger kind”

"Ahhhh! Yes, yes!" Apollonia was shocked, "I don't even know how to describe this smell! As soon as you said it, it became clear to me! Say everything I want to say. Oh! I couldn’t have imagined such an accurate description myself.”

"You are drinking Hungarian botrytis wine. The aroma of rotten wood comes from botrytis mold. After botrytis infects white grapes, it causes the grapes to lose moisture and shrink, thus increasing the sugar content. This is where the unique aroma comes from Produced during the process. There are many types of noble rot wines brewed from it, but the sweet type is the most distinctive. People who like it will like it very much, but there seem to be more people who don't like it." "Ah, yes, yes, yes. ." She didn't know if it was because she didn't know the name either.

"It's quite expensive because the output is not high. Where did you drink it?"

"It's a tribute from the Oracle. I smelled it and asked."

"Oh no wonder. You want a drink?"

"I don't know if there is. I thought all wines were like that."

"If you ask others, you really don't know. If you ask me, I know exactly where I can go to drink. But that place is not suitable for children - hey, you are an adult anyway, go there once. Just once. Seeing that we are destined, I’ll invite you this time.”

"Okay~~"

Silence, everything here is silent.

The booth is close to the Qinhuai River, and you can see the scenery outside the window, but unlike the noisy night market outside, there is only the sound of rustling whispers.

"." Apollonia sat there, at a loss, "Where is that?"

"Membership-only restaurant, Juxianzhai."

"Then why... why so quiet?"

"Because most of the people who come here are old men. Does the booth next to you look familiar?"

"Mr. Wen Ge! It's Wen Yuan's grandfather! Are they working overtime here so late?"

"He just moved to another place to work overtime. After all, there is a light control in the palace at night. The people around you are all old men who came here to relax after leaving the cabinet."

"It's so quiet and no one is talking at all. It feels like the air pressure has dropped."

"Because the people who come here don't come here to drink, they just get together in the same place. I'm afraid you're the only one who comes here specifically to drink. Although this store stocks a lot of good wines that are rare to see elsewhere, but It’s a waste to come, in fact not many people are actually tasting it. Oh, by the way, in addition to the wine, the food in this restaurant is also good. Especially one dish, have you tried shrimp noodles?"

"No. What?"

"It's just topped with dried shrimps. Judging from your taste, I guess you like this."

"Ah" Actually Apollonia wants to eat meat more. But now that someone is treating her, she is no longer picky about food.

"Okay." Fu Yuanshan called the waiter, "Do you still have the bottle of noble rot wine? Have a glass. Then give him a bowl of shrimp noodles. Me? I won't eat it, just give me a glass of lemonade. If I He drank too. Someone will take him back later. Oh, here’s a plate of mung bean cake, I happen to be a little hungry.”

Although no one was ordering at all, the kitchen still showed the quick response of a royal kitchen, and the shrimp noodles were served in less than two minutes. Also served were wine, lemonade, and a small plate of mung bean cake placed in front of Fu Yuanshan.

"Ah! Yes, yes, that's what it smells like." Although she just heard the description, Apollonia didn't know what it was at all. But as soon as she smelled it, she knew she had found the right one. It was this smell, exactly the same as what she had smelled before.

She tried to take a sip: "Wow! It tastes as good as I thought! It's so sweet!"
