Such a generous person is indeed a person with good taste. The shopkeeper turned his eyes to his companion wearing a bamboo hat over there, but saw that the wine in front of him had not been touched at all.
"Hey, drink, drink while it's hot." As if he had found a close friend, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to urge the hatted knight.
Ge Sheng was extremely embarrassed. Just as she was about to raise her head to seek help from Poinsettia, she saw that he had his eyes closed and was not looking at her at all, so he had to bite the bullet and speak in a lowered voice.
"Store... you see how hard you are working all day long. I'll treat you to this plate of wine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ge Sheng couldn't help but admire his eloquence in his heart. This must be something only a great knight can say. I didn't expect that I have a talent for acting.
Unexpectedly, the store owner shook his head regretfully and eagerly: "That's not okay. This kind of wine is very precious. You customers should be allowed to drink it. How can I, a mere store owner, drink this kind of wine?"
Ge Sheng complained in his heart. Firstly, he doesn't know how to drink, and secondly, if he gets drunk and makes a fool of himself in the village, he really won't be able to stay in the village anymore. But the store owner was extremely enthusiastic and sincere, and he even came close to me.
"Come on, drinking here is probably a good thing!" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to lift his hat, which frightened him so much that he tried to protect him with both hands.
"Tsk, look at your guy, he stretches his neck to get a bowl, you should learn from him." Seeing him rejecting the offer in every possible way, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh a little.
"Okay. Shopkeeper, my friend has a serious illness and cannot drink."
Finally, this high-stakes farce ended with a sentence from Poinsettia.
The store owner and Ge Sheng were both stunned. Fortunately, Ge Sheng reacted quickly at the critical moment. He nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, his body cooperated and started to tremble: "That's true. You see, I will have epilepsy as soon as I smell the smell of alcohol."
The store owner quickly backed away from him. He put down the plate and looked apologetic: "Oh, you didn't tell me earlier. But this wine is really different from ordinary village wine. It would be a pity that you can't drink it."
No matter what the store said, my identity was not revealed. Ge Sheng pretended to be silent and serious again, and waved to him: "Uh, it's okay."
Poinsettia has finished her wine tasting. The store owner was right, and he also came to a conclusion about the origin of the wine.
"This is a kind of strong wine." Poinsettia looked at the empty wine plate in front of her indifferently. "The raw materials required are not just ordinary grains, but also mixed with tree fruits from the forest."
The store owner repeatedly exclaimed: "Hey, you still have some ideas!"
The surrounding villagers heard what he said eloquently, and some idle people gathered around. Poinsettia took her time and said slowly:
"The brewing process can only be regarded as rough, but this wine is very addictive and has a strong taste. It is suitable for drinking in winter."
"And...it's more suitable to be on a boat drifting in the ocean, facing the biting sea breeze. That's the unique artistic conception of this kind of wine."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the store: "I'm right."
The store owner was very surprised when he heard this. When he was asked this question by Poinsettia, he nodded and applauded as if he suddenly understood: "You are right. You are absolutely right."
"That's so right, brother, that's so right, brother." The young people around him also praised him.
"From what you're saying, this wine was just brewed recently." Poinsettia pretended to be confused, "Then the store owner must have put a lot of thought and effort into making this unique wine."
Follow the instructions, Poinsettia talks about it here, and directly cuts into its own theme.
Ge Sheng looked up at him timidly, then quickly lowered his head.
The store owner looked a little embarrassed when he saw the villagers watching. But he still told the truth: "Hi. Actually, it's not troublesome for us to just brew. The key is to have the secret recipe."
"Did the secret recipe come here on that big ship?" Poinsettia pretended to joke.
At this point, the store owner has nothing to hide. He nodded heavily and grinned: "Yes, yes, haha, you can guess all this."
Poinsettia confirmed her guess. He immediately acted very relieved, poured the wine himself, and said leisurely: "It's true. I'm very satisfied with this wine. Can the store help me get a bag for me to drink on the way?"
He naturally knew that the store owner was a little embarrassed when he was surrounded by people, so he talked about it and helped him out. As expected, everyone saw that there was nothing else to watch and everyone went back to their tables.
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with a smile.
Ge Sheng also relaxed a lot. There were so many people just now, and he was afraid that someone would recognize him. Finally, everyone around him was gone, so it was a close call for him.
Poinsettia sat quietly at the table. Looking at this pot of wine from a foreign land, my eyes wandered away.
He also took the news of the conversation between the guests just now into his heart. He already knew where he was going now.
The two lingered in the tavern for a while, and the store owner also brought Poinsettia a wineskin full of strong liquor. The two paid their bills and turned back towards the village.
Ge Sheng was still hiding timidly behind the poinsettia, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, where are we going?"
Poinsettia does not look back: "Your home."
Ge Sheng's neck twitched visibly.
Poinsettia added: "You can stay outside the door then. I won't do anything. I'm just curious about what the stranger looks like, so I went to have a look."
Of course, this is just to comfort Ge Sheng. In addition, Poinsettia has its own plans.
He already knew something about the situation in this area from what he heard the villagers chatting along the way. There are about twenty people in this foreign fleet that landed in Omuro Village, and only that one person is still in Omuro Village.
Other strangers have left the deserted small village and gone to the nearby city. From what the villagers said, it seemed that most of those people were "businessmen" from a foreign land. Then the purpose of their going to the city was naturally to do business.
The reason for traveling thousands of miles to do business in the Three Realms is very thought-provoking. I'm afraid there are other shady ideas hidden behind doing business.
Poinsettia walked faster and faster, and Ge Sheng followed behind panting. He looked at the mysterious hero in front of him and felt more and more frightened.
Ge Sheng's house can already be seen in the distance. Poinsettia stopped in the distance, waiting for Ge Sheng to follow.
He rubbed his chin. Looking at the houses in front of him, he was thinking about how to deal with the meeting.
From what the villagers said, this stranger seemed to be different from those businessmen. In other words, it seems to be an "officer" type of existence. He stayed here because of his connection with Ge Sheng's wife, and it was precisely because of this incident that the Ge Sheng family lost face.
Although the amount of information is not large, there is still a lot of room for digging deeper.
