Chapter 74 - 1 new tavern
Alcohol occupies a very important position in the other world, and can be roughly divided into red wine and beer.
Spice wine is the favorite of the nobles, and it is a symbol of identity. There may not be too much food at a banquet, but it cannot be without spice wine.
But Zhang Feng is not sensitive to this kind of spiced red wine. He can’t stand the strange smell of countless spices added to the sour wine.
In Zhang Feng’s opinion, this is not drinking, but medicine.
And beer is used as “drinking water” by commoners.
This is not to say that everyone can afford beer, but that people prefer beer when conditions permit.
Because they don’t drink hot water, the sanitation conditions in the other world are very poor, and there are not many clean water sources, so they can easily contract gastrointestinal diseases after drinking it.
And alcohol has a certain bactericidal effect.
Although these wines are only slightly fermented, the alcohol concentration is very low, they often deteriorate and become sour, and they have no hops, but they are still the first choice for everyone.
So there are pubs, and most pubs make a living by selling low-quality beer and a small amount of brown bread.
The tavern in Hongye City, Zhang Feng visited once, the tavern is not cleaned all the year round, there is a thick layer of ash and grease on the table, the floor is full of food residues left by merchants, mud and animal excrement on the soles of shoes, and The previous one was comparable to the Livestock Hongye Hotel.
Zhang Feng didn’t know how those people could drink here. Maybe he didn’t eat meat, but since he is the city owner of Hongye City, he naturally wants to change this situation.
What’s more, the tavern is a place to make money.
This tavern is the personal property of the city lord Zhang Feng. If he wants to order reforms, he only needs to give an order.
Zhang Feng and Caroline came to the tavern. Although the rebuilt tavern is still incomparable to the one on Blue Star in Zhang Feng’s opinion, it is completely new compared to before.
“good!”
Zhang Feng is very satisfied.
Caroline seemed very happy to be praised by Zhang Feng, because she was solely responsible for the construction of the tavern.
“The waiters in the tavern are selected from among the female slaves. At the same time, dozens of security guards are already in place. It’s just the wine you prepared.”
Zhang Feng also has a lot of female slaves, and the waiters in the tavern are naturally none other than them.
However, compared to other places, taverns are a little more chaotic. After all, after being stimulated by alcohol, no one can guarantee that they will be quiet.
This is in Zhang Feng’s consideration, so security is very necessary.
And security is a new occupation that Zhang Feng recently released. These security guards are all chosen from those who wanted to join the army but were unsuccessful.
However, these security guards were not recruited by the City Lord’s Mansion or the City Hall, but by the Red Leaf Tavern alone.
They do not belong to the civil servants of Hongye City, and they do not enjoy the welfare policies of civil servants. In short, they are temporary workers.
But due to the high price of Zhang Feng, in addition to no benefits, the salary is lower than that of soldiers, so it is easy to recruit people.
“Hello, Lord City Master!”
A dozen security guards stood in rows and bowed to Zhang Feng.
Although these people are not tall enough, they still look quite energetic, and Zhang Feng will equip them with weapons. With these people around, ordinary troublemakers can completely handle it.
As for the unusual, then we can only dispatch soldiers.
Zhang Feng is very concerned about the order of Hongye City. Anyone who dares to oppose him will not end well.
After encouraging the security guard, Zhang Feng and Caroline came to the back kitchen of the tavern.
The large wooden barrels were neatly arranged, and before entering the door, I could smell a faint aroma of wine, most of which was the aroma of beer, and a small amount of liquor.
The reason why the taste is light is because Zhang Feng has mixed a lot of cool white wine. Of course, this light is for Zhang Feng, and for people from other worlds, this is a strong aroma of wine!
“It smells good!”
Caroline wrinkled her cute little nose.
“Do you like drinking very much?”
Zhang Feng asked curiously. When Caroline invited him to dinner for the first time, she prepared a bottle of spiced red wine, but later she stopped drinking it because Zhang Feng couldn’t drink it.
After that, Zhang Feng didn’t seem to bring out any wine, because Zhang Feng himself didn’t like drinking very much.
“I used to like to drink it, because spiced red wine is the best drink for me, but now I like to drink milk tea, nutrition express, cola…”
Looking at Caroline’s fingers, Zhang Feng felt that Caroline was very cute at this time.
Zhang Feng reached out his hand subconsciously and wanted to rub Caroline’s hair, but when he thought that this was outside, if she messed up her hair that had been groomed for a long time, it would affect her image a little, so she held back. He moved by himself and pinched her cheek instead.
Tender, smooth, and feels great.
Although this is not the first time Zhang Feng has acted so intimately with her, Caroline is still blushing. After all, apart from Zhang Feng and her father, she has never had close contact with other men. The former Charles She didn’t even touch her hand.
“Master Zhang, Zhang Feng, what’s wrong?”
Looking at Caroline’s shy and doubtful eyes, Zhang Feng smiled and said:
“It’s nothing, I just think you’re too cute!”
Hearing Zhang Feng say that she is cute, Caroline’s eyes twitched, but when she saw someone coming from a distance, she immediately sorted out her emotions and turned into a cold look.
“See Lord City Lord and Madam City Lord!”
The three thin men walked towards Zhang Feng, and before they came to their side, they knelt down and salute.
“Get up.”
Zhang Feng waved his hand, these three were Zhang Feng’s few male slaves.
Although these wines, which were exchanged for a large amount of cool white wine, were not valuable to Zhang Feng, but after all, it took him three days to travel through the trip, so the number of wines was limited, and he had to find trusted people to manage these wines.
These slaves are loyal to Zhang Feng, so they are naturally good candidates.
After the three got up, they respectfully stood in front of Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng asked:
“What do you think of these wines?”
The three slaves looked at each other~www.mtlnovel.com~ One of the slaves who looked more mature spoke up.
“Reporting to the Lord City Lord, I think these wines are much better than the wines in our Red Leaf City before, and the previous beers can’t be compared with them at all! It’s really… It’s really delicious! This is the real wine! “
Listening to the excited words of the slave, this was also expected by Zhang Feng.
Anyway, it was something he brought from Blue Star. Although the taste was much lighter after mixing with water, it was still better than the original wine.
Especially those high-quality liquors, and if they were not mixed with water, Zhang Feng doubted whether those people could stand it.
When Caroline heard the slave’s words, she was curious about the wine in the barrel. She had never drunk these wines. Zhang Feng gave it directly to the slave and asked them to mix it with water.
Caroline stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zhang Feng’s ear:
“Master Zhang Feng, can I have a taste?”
Feeling the heat in his ears, Zhang Feng shook his head as he looked at Caroline who was eager to try.
“These wines are mixed with water, which is very bad. If you want to drink, I will give you something better.”
“Ok!”
Although Caroline felt that the wine in these wooden barrels just smelled good, she never doubted Zhang Feng’s words. Zhang Feng said that there is better, that is, there is better.
Looking at the three slaves with their heads bowed, Zhang Feng opened his mouth.
“It’s almost time, hang up the sign of the tavern.”
“Yes!”
