Chapter 949 Extra 1 (Failure in Brewing)
A small incident that started as a misunderstanding grew bigger and bigger, but fortunately neither side took it seriously.
At most, Zhongli labeled Zhao Xuan as stingy and short-sighted, and Zhao Xuan labeled Zhongli as "love-brained".
When it comes to Yiqing's affairs, his IQ drops rapidly.
The topic was over, but similar words would inevitably come up every time they met. Two people who were once barely close friends, now becoming companions, were extremely childish.
The two of them stayed here for the whole day, and Zhongli successfully drank the newly brewed wine, but this wine was not brewed by Zhao Xuan, but by Chu Ge.
Chu Ge finished writing the story of his ordeal as he wished. He has been a bit free recently, so Zhao Xuan saw that he had nothing to do and asked him to join him in brewing wine.
The brewed wine had been buried for six years and had a new flavor. It was being experimented on at the time. Given Chu Ge's level of cooking, Zhao Xuan was full of confidence in Chu Ge, thinking that he was gifted and would definitely be able to brew delicious wine.
As a result, the taste of the brew was quite surprising.
Zhongli was the first to drink. He couldn't wait to lift the jar and took a big sip. However, the wine spat out before he could swallow it.
"???"
Zhongli made several "Pooh" sounds, his disdain was self-evident, "Zhao Xuan, your performance is not good this time! What the hell is this? It's sour and tastes weird."
Zhao Xuan, who was one step behind Zhongli, didn't even bother to tell Zhongli to shut up when he heard this, and quickly took a sip...
Gulu.
Zhao Xuan swallowed it with great difficulty. The steps were correct, but it seemed like something was mixed in wrongly. Why did it taste so sour?
Like drinking vinegar!
Just because Zhao Xuan didn't tell the truth, it didn't mean Zhongli would say the same thing. "It tastes terrible. Zhao Xuan, you're not good enough. Your winemaking skills have gone back 800 years."
No, eight hundred years ago, the wine brewed by Zhao Xuan was much better than this. This is not wine, it's clearly vinegar.
He knew that Zhao Xuan must have done it on purpose.
How could a skilled craftsman who brews wine as if it were his own meal, possibly turn wine into vinegar?
Either the winemaker is a novice or he is deliberately fooling himself.
He thought about it and felt that it was most likely the latter.
Zhongli decisively put down the wine, no, the vinegar.
Zhao Xuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes hinting at a warning, fearing that Chu Ge beside him would be deeply hurt by this, "You don't want to drink anymore?"
Zhongli acted as if he was disgusted, "I don't drink vinegar, I only drink wine, unless you bring out some wine."
"Zhao Xuan, we are guests after all, right? Is this how you treat guests? Bring out vinegar to drink, who do you want to make jealous to death?"
Chu Ge silently opened the lid of a wine jar, raised his head and took a sip, "..." Sure enough, it was sour enough.
Chu Ge swallowed the sour wine with a wooden face, then turned to look at Zhao Xuan beside him.
Zhao Xuan, "..." Why did he feel that Zhongli's words were implying something about him?
He was sure that Zhao Xuan was deliberately playing tricks on them, because this man had played similar tricks before. Playing tricks on people was a common thing for Zhao Xuan.
Zhongli didn't think about Chu Ge at all, and smiled gloatingly, "Or have you been jealous lately? So you turned all the wine into vinegar?"
Zhao Xuan's expression paused for a moment, and after a while, a look of as expected appeared on his face. "There's nothing wrong with changing the taste. I've been debugging a new flavor recently, and this is what I came up with."
Zhongli knew that Zhao Xuan would research some new flavors from time to time, "Are you sure this has been debugged?"
Why does he feel that this thing is more like a failure?
Zhao Xuan hummed.
As for Chu Ge next to him, he was silent, as if he was trapped in the blow of failing to make wine and couldn't extricate himself. He continued to drink vinegar with an expressionless face, as if he was trying to find the reason for his failure.
Chu Ge, who was lost in thought, naturally did not notice Zhongli's surprised look.
Zhongli happened to see Chu Ge being jealous, "..." Doesn't he find it sour?
What heavy taste hobbies?
Why don’t you drink the good wine but make vinegar to drink?
Zhongli noticed that Chu Ge was quite skilled at drinking vinegar, but his face was expressionless, so it was hard to tell whether he liked drinking it or was just trying to please Zhao Xuan.
He pointed at Chu Ge and said silently to Zhao Xuan - Does this person in your family like to drink vinegar?
Is the taste so special?
Zhao Xuan didn't care about the doubtful look on Zhongli's face. He turned his gaze to Yiqing and said meaningfully, "I believe the Supreme God must need this more than I do."
Zhongli understood. He had hinted before that Zhao Xuan was jealous, but now Zhao Xuan had fought back with a powerful move.
Yiqing was not angry at Zhao Xuan's implication. He calmly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhongli, “???” What’s going on?
Could it be that Yiqing's taste has also been infected by Chu Ge? Now the two of them don't like to drink alcohol, but like to drink vinegar?
Seeing Zhongli's confused and bewildered face, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but sigh, people really think differently. It's strange that Zhongli, with his emotional intelligence, can still be single!
It must be said that since the two of them each found a Taoist partner, there is no one in the Three Realms who can beat them...
Well, there are only a few of them, why don’t you fight them?
There are too many people who can't defeat them to count.
Out of boredom, Zhao Xuan and Zhongli's favorite thing to do is to kill each other.
However, Zhao Xuan often implied his Taoist partner Yiqing through talking to Zhongli.
Who made... some people become love-brained after having a Taoist partner, and can no longer keep up with Zhao Xuan's thinking. They are often hinted at for a long time before they realize it belatedly.
Yiqing did not fight back, but just used this way to tell Zhao Xuan that he...just liked to be jealous.
There was a look of admiration written all over Zhao Xuan's eyes and face, he was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
However, instead of bickering with them, Zhao Xuan quickly put away this boring and childish trick, turned around and hugged Chu Ge beside him and whispered, "It's okay, don't drink if you don't like it."
He was worried that Chu Ge would be deeply shocked by the completely different result he got for his first brewing.
For this reason, he didn't have time to argue with others. He just wanted to comfort Chu Ge and pull him out of the mood of failure.
Zhongli: “…” It’s amazing to have a Taoist companion!
Who doesn’t have a Taoist partner?
Zhongli, who usually quarreled with Zhao Xuan, pulled Yiqing's hand next to him and put it on his shoulder without saying a word to show his intimacy.
Seeing this, Yiqing drank another glass of vinegar.
Zhongli, "? Are you still drinking it? What if this failed product has problems and you get an upset stomach?"
Yi Qing glanced at Zhongli quietly, as if to say - isn't this the main purpose of your coming here every time?
Zhongli, who was rarely online and keeping up with his thoughts, touched his nose and said frankly, "I like to drink, but not the bad wine. If you drink too much of this stuff, you will definitely get a stomachache."
After saying that, he deliberately raised his hand and snatched the vinegar from Yiqing's hand, not letting him drink it.
Zhao Xuan glanced at Zhongli with a flying knife-like gaze, "...Do you dare to be more exaggerated?"
