Chapter 1498: Chapter 1436: The Legend of the Cocktail
Ah Jiu was startled when Hua Jinhuan leaned in, his whole body stiffened. He mechanically looked at Wufu, seeing her eyes bright and fixed on Hua Jinhuan, almost gasping for air.
Hua Jinhuan also looked at Wufu, noticing her bright, interested eyes, as if she were looking at a piece of art. He was a bit taken aback until Ah Jiu gave him a shove.
He stumbled, steadied himself, and complained with a hint of resentment, "Young Master, you are so rough."
Wufu sensed the coldness emanating from Ah Jiu, stepped forward, and said, "Beauty Hua, donât blame him. Heâs just not romantic. Itâs our first time here, whatâs fun here?"
Hua Jinhuan glanced at her sideways and laughed, "At Unparalleled Tower, we have all sorts of entertainments, anything you can think of, and we have all kinds of wine too."
"I think youâre lying to me," Wufu raised an eyebrow.
"Why do you say that, Young Master?"
"You said your wine selection is complete, but I think thereâs one kind you donât have," Wufu laughed.
Hua Jinhuan was unconvinced, "Itâs your first visit, how could you know we donât have it? Our Unparalleled Tower is famous for hiding the worldâs fine wines, but Iâm afraid you wonât be able to name one!"
"Oh? Do you have cocktails then?"
Cocktails?
Hua Jinhuan was stunned. Cocktails, what kind of wine is that? Heâs never heard of it.
Seeing his stunned expression, Wufu laughed triumphantly and walked into the hall, thinking, "See, I canât be bluffed?"
"Young Master..." Hua Jinhuan wanted to ask, but Wufu was already out of earshot. He stomped his foot, called over a pretty young servant and instructed, "Remember this wine and find it for me." Cocktails, if that handsome young master can say it, it must exist!
Thus, a wine called cocktails spread throughout Nanyue. It was said this wine was extremely mysterious, and also said to appear once every hundred years, worth a fortune per sip. Some said after drinking this wine, people would cry and admit that apart from cocktails, no other wine could be counted as wine. Whether this was true or if cocktails were just a legend... well, thatâs a story for another time!
Hua Jinhuan arranged a room for the two of them with a Fairy Hua theme, ordered Shaoxing Wine, and invited two young servants to accompany them before leaving. After all, it was just getting dark, and there were still plenty of guests.
Wufu really wanted to flirt with the two young servants, but Ah Jiu sat there like a black-faced god, watching him, making her feel a bit awkward and bored.
"Forget it, our Young Master Mo isnât in a good mood today, just sing a couple of songs," Wufu waved his hand and threw a piece of silver to them.
The two young servants were very pleased, one sang and the other poured wine.
Ah Jiu sat beside Wufu, gritted his teeth and said, "Werenât we supposed to catch that Song guy? Why does it seem like youâre here for fun?" Catching him with a sack seems to have become secondary.
"Whatâs the rush? The night has just begun. We can wait until itâs deep into the night before acting," Wufu leaned over, teasingly said, "Shall we have a drink?"
Ah Jiu noticed the curiosity in the young servantâs eyes and glared at him, making the young servant quickly lower his head, thinking they must be lovers. Whoâs on top and whoâs on bottom, who knows?
He took the wine Wufu handed to him, downed it in one gulp, just as laughter and jokes wafted in from the next room, making him frown.
From now on, no matter what, heâll never come to this kind of place again.
Wufu also heard it and asked the young servant who was next door. Upon hearing they were Changan Cityâs profligates, it was unsurprising, so Wufu casually inquired which room Crown Prince Song was in and who accompanied him.
