Chapter 2032: Pour Us Some Wine

The atmosphere and style of the tavern made Abraham feel very at ease. There weren’t many people, and they were all seated sparsely. There were already some tipsy customers in the tavern, perhaps due to the alcohol being too good, or because they didn’t have good alcohol tolerance. This tavern was unlike usual ones that were full of noise.

Abraham chose a seat in the corner which faced a wall. He sat alone, and was not worried about being recognized or disturbed.

All he wanted to do was to drink quietly. He did not want to think. He just wanted to get drunk, go home, and sleep. Everything else could wait until tomorrow.

Not long later, Mag brought out three side dishes and a bottle of Maotai to Abraham.

“Thank you,” Abraham thanked Mag, but his gaze was already attracted by the three side dishes.

The peanuts were peeled and fried, with a layer of chili and sugar on top. Multiple spices had already been infused into the peanuts, making the fragrance very distinct.

Crack!

It was crispy. A gentle bite caused the fragrance of the peanut to explode in his mouth.

At the same time, the flavors of the spices infused into the peanuts also blossomed.

For a tiny peanut to contain so much flavor and changes, making it increasingly fragrant the more he chewed, did catch him by surprise.

The clear liquid was poured into the crystal glass. Abraham brought the glass up to his nose, and the rich fragrance of the wine wafted into his nose.

Even Abraham, someone who did not really like drinking, could not help but exclaim, “Great wine!”

Abraham knew a thing or two about wine tasting. He did not chug the glass of wine down straight away. Instead, he took a deep whiff of the fragrance, and allowed it to swirl around in his head. After that, he took a small sip.

The warm and fine liquid wet his lips, and flowed into his mouth. It had a rich fragrance, and was very gentle and fine with a refreshing taste, complementing the drunkard peanuts. After swallowing the wine, he could still taste the fragrance in his mouth.

“To think such great wine actually exists in this world. I’m afraid all the great wines from the different places would be a far cry from this,” Abraham exclaimed.

All these years, the king had received great wines from all over as tribute, and Abraham had his fair share of tasting these wines. However, none of them could surprise him as much as this Maotai.

He could not help but take another sip. This time, he closed his eyes to taste the various flavors within the wine. It was not sweet like fruit wine, and it was not bitter like grain wine. This wine was so mesmerizing, and could make one fall right into it. Abraham had no idea what skills the winemaker employed or what was added to make the wine like this.

After that, he could not help but recall the past: how he had to be extra cautious during the fight for the throne, and how his brothers had killed each other. Now, Josh and Sean had gone on the same path, and Josh had even lost himself on the way. He was now on the path of no turning back leading into a deep abyss.

“This child. How could he be so foolish…” Tears welled up in Abraham’s eyes. It was as though he could see the little fellows when they were still children right before his eyes.

“Ah.” Abraham sighed. He sniffed and controlled his emotions. He put the glass down, and looked at the pig ears salad and pig tongue salad.

To be honest, when he first saw these two dishes, he was immediately reminded of Mamy Restaurant and a salad of a similar bright red: the husband and wife lung slice.

The familiar spiciness and the ingredients that no one would usually serve: pig’s ears and tongue.

He would not even suspect it if someone told him this was the new dish Boss Mag just launched.

However, he was indeed shocked to see these two peculiar dishes in a newly opened tavern in Rodu.

After being reshaped by Mamy Restaurant, Abraham’s view of delicacies was completely different. He now was very accepting and embracing of such strange food.

After all, he could eat the pig’s eyes that would explode in his mouth. The pig’s tongue and ears were just a piece of cake in comparison.

He picked up a piece of pig’s tongue that was covered in red oil. The feeling he got from picking it up felt like lean meat. After the tongue was sliced into thin pieces, it surprisingly did not look disgusting. It was just like a piece of beef with a layer of red oil on top, garnished with some sesame seeds. It actually looked rather enticing.

Abraham could not resist putting the tongue into his mouth. After that, he took a bite.

The spiciness of the red oil exploded in his mouth first. Its rich fragrance and numbness spread from the tip of his tongue.

After that came the flavor of the pig’s tongue. It was braised fragrantly, and the unique texture of the pig’s tongue was even chewier and juicier compared to beef. The tongue had completely soaked up the braising sauce. It was spicy and numbing, and the umami caused his taste buds to shiver and come to life after a really long time!Follow current novelenglish.net . s on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

Rip!

Abraham suddenly felt multiple buttons from his shirt burst open, exposing his long johns.

Abraham was stunned. He looked at the plate of pig tongue salad in front of him in disbelief.

Compared to wine tasting, his real expertise was in food tasting.

On a small deserted street, a new little tavern opened, and he managed to find food as good as that of Mamy Restaurant’s here!

Abraham took a sip of wine to suppress his shock. He looked at the pig ears salad at the side.

The pig’s ears were also covered in a layer of bright red oil with sesame as garnish. They looked very appetizing.

Without any hesitation, he put a piece of the pig’s ear in his mouth. The spiciness was still the same, but the pig’s ear had a special cartilage, which gave it a crunchy and marvelous chewing experience. The soft pig’s ear covering the thin layer of cartilage gave it a crispy crunch as Abraham chewed.

Abraham raised his brows. He felt so much more relaxed.

Indeed, food was the best cure for anything.

However, the best way to have it was with great wine to complement the former.

A sip of wine, a bite of food. Even though Abraham was alone, he still enjoyed himself.

Just then, a group of middle-aged men wearing official uniforms entered the tavern. They found an eight-seater, sat down, and ordered a few bottles of wine and a few side dishes.

“Little brat, come over here and pour us some wine,” a middle-aged man said as he pointed to Amy, who was sitting behind the counter.
