The hoarse voice carried a hint of sternness, as coarse as a sword energy slashing across gravel.
Fervor and impatience could all be heard from the other party's tone.
"Wine, of course," Bu Fang originally wanted to drink, but after being asked such a question, he put down the wine cup in his hand and nodded.
That person happily stepped into the store and sat in front of the table. His hoarse voice continued: "Then, owner, give me a jug of wine."
Bu Fang responded with a "hmm". His face was expressionless as his gaze fell on the menu. He saw that there was an additional dish on the store's menu.
"Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, fifteen crystals per jug."
Only fifteen crystals, it was really not that expensive. Bu Fang was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly came to a realization. Even though the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was a good wine, the ingredients used to make it were not high-grade. It was unlike the Egg-Fried Rice and Lees Fish, which had fifth grade spirit beast eggs, third grade fish meat, and other spirit energy ingredients.
Its only selling point was the arduous brewing process of the Nine Distillations Method. As for the ingredients, they were actually considered ordinary. The rice used was also high-grade spirit rice, but it was not much higher grade than the spirit pearl rice used in Egg-Fried Rice.
"System, isn't the price too cheap?" Bu Fang quietly asked the system.
"The system's price is based on the ingredients, process, and time used to make the overall judgment. After all, the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine is an ordinary wine, so its price will not be too high. Compared to fruit wines and spirit wines brewed with high-grade ingredients, it is still quite a bit lower. Fifteen crystals is already the limit," the system seriously and solemnly explained.
Bu Fang nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
"Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, fifteen crystals per jug," Bu Fang expressionlessly said to the man wearing a bamboo hat sitting in the store.
"Fifteen crystals?" That man seemed to be slightly surprised. Fifteen crystals per jug was a bit exaggerated. However, when he saw the menu, he fell silent.
After a long while, he finally opened his mouth: "Give me a jug. When I entered the alley earlier, I suddenly smelled a rich wine aroma and couldn't help but be attracted. I hope the owner's wine is worthy of its price."
The corners of Bu Fang's mouth curled up slightly. "Fragrant wine needs no dark alley."
"My wine, you won't be disappointed." Bu Fang replied confidently. Then, he turned around and entered the kitchen. He took out a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine from the cupboard.
This small jar was actually not big. It was even smaller than an ordinary wine jar. Bu Fang placed the wine jar in front of the man in the bamboo hat and said lightly, "Your wine."
The man in the bamboo hat nodded and slowly took off the black veil and bamboo hat, revealing a mysterious face.
Bu Fang was a little surprised by the other party's appearance, because the other party's face looked a little familiar.
Unlike the hoarse voice, the other party took off his bamboo hat, revealing an elegant and handsome man. He had a handsome face and a scholarly temperament. His eyes were as deep as the stars, and his lips were naturally curled up, giving off a hint of demonic charm.
That's right! This guy and that little sissy, Xiao Xiaolong, were actually thirty to forty percent similar!
"Boss, why are you looking at me like that?" The man chuckled and asked hoarsely.
"It's just a little familiar. Take your time." Bu Fang was expressionless as he calmly replied. Then, he sat down and prepared to pour himself a cup of wine.
The man did not mind. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he opened the cloth cover of the wine jar.
The rich wine aroma instantly rushed out like a volcanic eruption. It gushed into his nostrils and slid into his heart, causing him to become intoxicated.
He poured the wine into the celadon wine cup that Bu Fang had prepared for him. The clear wine was as clear as spring water from deep within the mountains. It was incomparably crystal clear and did not contain the slightest bit of turbidity.
"Good wine!" The man could not help but exclaim. Then, he carefully raised the cup and slowly drank it.
As the wine entered his throat, the man's pores instantly opened up. He exhaled like a dragon and his eyes shone with disbelief.
The rich wine aroma, the feeling of ice and fire, caused him to be completely immersed in the wine.
"Good wine! It's not the slightest bit inferior to the Bejewelled Nectar Wine in the imperial palace! "The man praised again.
Strong enough! Mellow enough! Fragrant enough! It could even cause the true energy in his body to surge. Fifteen crystals was definitely worth it!
"Haha! I didn't expect to encounter such good wine. I'm really lucky! They're drinking the Bejewelled Nectar Wine in the imperial palace while I'm tasting the Ice Heart Jade Urn here. It's not a loss at all. " The man laughed. He poured another cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. The spiciness in his throat caused his fair skin to flush red.
Bu Fang, on the other hand, was much more refined. His alcohol tolerance was not good, so he only took a small cup and sipped on it, looking quite satisfied.
"Boss, do you have any dishes to go with the wine?" The man finished his cup of wine and looked at Bu Fang, who was sipping the wine.
"No," Bu Fang simply said.
A trace of regret appeared on the man's face. However, it quickly disappeared and he was once again immersed in the wine.
"Boss, why are you still open for business today? Why didn't you go to the city to see General Xiao Meng's triumphant return?" The man asked Bu Fang after drinking a few cups of wine.
"What does his triumphant return have to do with me?" Bu Fang calmly replied.
The man was momentarily stunned. Then, he burst into laughter. He seemed to be very happy.
"Boss, you are a man of passion. Let me offer you a toast." The man laughed and finished his cup of wine in one gulp.
Bu Fang was expressionless. He was still leisurely sipping his wine.
Someone once said that there were two ways to drink wine. One was simply drinking the wine, pouring it into the mouth and savoring its mellow fragrance.
The other way was not to drink the wine, but to drink one's emotions. Drinking under the influence of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy would produce different feelings. This was a person who truly understood wine.
Drinking wine when one was happy would cause one to be elated. Drinking wine when one was angry would cause one to be majestic. Drinking wine when one was sad would cause one to be filled with sorrow. Drinking wine when one was happy would cause one to be unable to stop drinking.
"That's right. What does his triumphant return have to do with you? No matter how glorious he is, he is just an executioner whose hands are stained with blood. He is just a sharp blade in Ji Changfeng's hands. "The man's mood suddenly became gloomy. He quickly drank cup after cup of wine.
"This is a man with a story," Bu Fang thought as he blinked his eyes and sipped his wine.
The man did not say much after that. He continued to pour and drink wine. The jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was quickly emptied. The man also began to show signs of drunkenness. His eyes were extremely hazy.
The strength of a jar of Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine was unimaginable to Bu Fang. Bu Fang might be able to drink half a jar of normal wine. However, for this Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine, Bu Fang could only drink three cups at most.
However, this man only showed signs of drunkenness after finishing an entire jar. His alcohol tolerance was truly astonishing.
"Boss, there's no more wine! Give me another jar, "the man said with a frown.
"Only one jar per person," Bu Fang simply said as he finished his cup of wine. His face was slightly red.
The man slapped the table and lightly burped. Dozens of sparkling crystals were lying on the table. "Boss, crystals are not a problem. Give me another jar."
"According to the store's rules, one jar per person," Bu Fang remained unmoved as he expressionlessly replied.
The man frowned and suddenly slapped the table. Suddenly, the sword wrapped in a ragged cloth was unsheathed.
The sound of the sword reverberated throughout the store like a dragon.
The man held the sword with one hand. The cold edge of the sword was an inch away from the tip of Bu Fang's nose. Bu Fang could even feel the coldness coming from the tip of the sword.
Faint goosebumps instantly covered Bu Fang's body. However, he still remained expressionless.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you not provide me with wine? "The man said with a mocking smile.
"Why would I care who you are? Are you trying to cause trouble? "Bu Fang calmly said. He remained unmoved even though the edge of the sword was only an inch away from him.
The man stared at Bu Fang for a long time. Then, he sheathed the sword and wrapped it in a ragged cloth. The sword energy that was wreaking havoc in the store was restrained, making it look simple and untainted.
"Boss, you really are a strange person. Here are thirty crystals. I have reserved the Ice Heart Jade Urn Wine for tomorrow," the man said with a smile. Then, he put on his bamboo hat again, carried the sword on his back, and left.
When he reached the door, he simply said, "Boss, you really don't know who I am?"
"I don't know, and I don't need to know. Anyone who enters my store is a customer. As long as you don't cause trouble, I welcome you," Bu Fang said seriously.
"Hahaha! Good! I, Xiao Yue of the Void Sword Pavilion, recognize you as a friend! "The man laughed loudly. His figure immediately stepped out of the store and disappeared into the autumn.
Xiao Yue? His surname is Xiao … Bu Fang muttered to himself. However, he curled his lips and mumbled, "Narcissistic fellow, who recognizes you as a friend?"
As soon as he finished muttering those words, the sound of the system's beep suddenly rang out in his mind.
