The tavern's style and atmosphere made Abraham feel very comfortable. There weren't many people sitting around. Perhaps it was because the wine was too delicious, or perhaps it was because these people couldn't hold their liquor, but there were already a few drunken customers in the tavern. It wasn't as noisy as normal taverns.
Abraham chose a corner seat and sat alone with his face facing the wall. He didn't have to worry about being recognized or disturbed.
He just wanted to drink some wine alone and not think about anything else. If he got drunk, he would go back to sleep and think about other things when he woke up the next day.
Not long after, Meg placed three dishes and a bottle of Maotai in front of Abraham.
"Thanks." Abraham thanked him casually, but his eyes were already attracted by the three dishes in front of him.
The peanuts were skinned and stir-fried, and they were wrapped in chili and white sugar. All kinds of spices had already seeped into the peanuts, and they were crispy and fragrant.
"They look pretty good. Let's try these Drunkard's Peanuts first." Abraham picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.
Crunch!
The peanut's crispy texture exploded in his mouth with just a light bite.
The spiciness and fragrance of the spices that had already permeated the peanuts also blossomed.
It was a small peanut, but it contained so many flavors and variations. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. It was truly astonishing.
"Incredible. A small peanut can be fried to such a delectable level, and it really does go well with wine." The spicy taste blossomed on his lips, and Abraham unconsciously opened the wine beside him as he marveled at the wonderful taste of the Drunkard's Peanuts.
The clear wine was poured into a crystal glass, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted into his nostrils as he picked up the glass.
Even Abraham, who wasn't a big fan of wine, couldn't help but want to praise, "Good wine!"
Abraham knew a thing or two about wine tasting. He didn't pick up the glass and drink it in one gulp. Instead, he took a deep breath of the wine's aroma and let it swirl in his mind before he took a small sip.
The warm and delicate wine moistened his lips before sliding into his mouth. It was rich and fragrant, and the taste was refreshing and refreshing. It complemented the Drunkard's Peanuts very well, and after swallowing, the fragrance lingered in his mouth and teeth.
"Who would've thought that there would be such a long wait in this world? Even the fine wines offered by the various lands paled in comparison to this." Abraham was astonished.
He had tasted many of the fine wines offered to the king over the years, but none of them had given him as much of a shock as this Maotai.
He couldn't help but take another sip. This time, he closed his eyes and savored the various flavors of the wine. It didn't have the sweetness of fruit wine, nor did it have the bitterness of grain wine that was hard to swallow. He didn't know what the winemaker had used or what he had added to make the wine so enchanting that it made people want to be intoxicated.
Then, he couldn't help but think of the past. Back in the day, the struggle for the throne had been a bloody one. Now, Josh and Sean had embarked on the same path, and Josh had gone astray because of it, stepping into a never-ending abyss.
.... and........................................
. Sigh.. . Abraham sighed and sniffed to control his emotions. He put down the wine glass, and his gaze landed on the cold mixed pig's ears and cold mixed pig's tongue at the side.
To be honest, the first time he saw these two dishes, he thought of Mamy's. He thought of the cold mixed dish with the same red color: husband and wife lung slice.
The familiar spicy taste, and the ingredients that normal people wouldn't dare to serve: pig's ears and pig's tongue.
He wouldn't have doubted if these were Mr. Mak's new dishes that had just come out.
But in a newly opened tavern like Rodu, these two strange dishes actually appeared. It really surprised him.
Could it be that the owner went to Mamy's to get scriptures? Abraham looked back at the wine cabinet suspiciously. The owner of the tavern was sitting behind the counter, reading a book calmly.
With Mr. Mak's busy life, it's impossible for him to be so carefree in this lifetime. Abraham retracted his gaze, and picked up a piece of pig's tongue with his chopsticks.
After Abraham's view of food was remolded by Mamy's, he was extremely tolerant of these strange foods.
After all, he could chew roasted pig's eyes until his mouth was full. Pig's tongue and pig's ears were simply watery.
He picked up a piece of pig's tongue that was wrapped in chili oil. It felt like lean meat through the chopsticks. After cutting it into thin slices, it didn't look disgusting at all. It was just like sliced beef. It was wrapped in chili oil and decorated with some cooked sesame seeds. Instead, it felt rather tempting.
Abraham couldn't help but put the pig's tongue into his mouth, and then took a bite.
The spicy chili oil exploded in his mouth first, and the rich aroma and spiciness blossomed on the tip of his tongue.
Then, the taste of the pig's tongue blossomed. The fragrance of the braised meat, coupled with the unique texture of the pig's tongue, was more springy than beef. It was juicier when chewed, and the fragrance of the braised meat had completely permeated the tongue. It was spicy and fresh, and the taste buds welcomed a long-lost thrill and frenzy!
"Rip!"
Abraham felt a button on his clothes suddenly burst open for a long time, and his innermost thermal clothes directly burst open.
"This …"
"This …"
"Damn it … Did he steal Mr. Mak's chili sauce bun?!"
"How can it be so delicious?!"
Abraham was dumbfounded. He looked at the plate of cold pig's tongue in front of him with a face of disbelief.
Compared to wine tasting, food was his true field of expertise.
In this lonely little street, in a newly opened little pub, he actually ate food that was comparable to Mamy's!
Oh my god!
If the owner didn't go and learn from Mr. Mak, then he must be a genius!
Abraham took a small sip of wine, suppressed the shock in his heart, and looked at the cold pig's ear at the side.
The pig's ear was also wrapped in chili oil. It was a bright red color, sprinkled with cooked sesame seeds, and looked very appetizing.
Without hesitation, he picked up a pig's ear and put it into his mouth. The spicy taste was still the same, but the unique crispy bone of the pig's ear gave him an extremely wonderful chewy texture. The soft pig's ear meat sandwiched the thin crispy bone, and when chewing, he could hear the crisp sound of chewing.
"This is too good!"
Abraham raised his eyebrows, and he felt his entire mental state relax a lot.
Indeed, food was the most healing.
However, good wine was a perfect match.
A small sip of wine, a mouthful of food, and drinking alone, but it was still delicious.
At this time, a group of middle-aged men in official uniforms walked into the pub, found a table for eight, and sat down. They ordered a few bottles of wine and a few dishes to go with the wine.
A middle-aged official with a potbelly pointed at Amy, who was sitting behind the counter, and said, "That little brat, come and pour wine for the masters."
