The strong fragrance of wine diffused nearby immediately. It was a completely different style from the refreshing fragrance of beer.
The fragrance of the wine was able to infuse into one’s heart and soul. Just its smell alone was enough to intoxicate a person.
“This wine is not bad indeed.” Mag, who was in the kitchen, could not help but exclaim with his eyes wide when he smelled the fragrance of the wine.
This wine was not brewed by him, actually. Maotai was not beer, and it was impossible to brew it immediately. It required years of fermentation and a wine base that was years or even decades old. It also involved very complicated details during the brewing process, such as the choice of season and more, which made the brewing process very restrictive.
Now that Saipan Tavern was open, Mag would definitely not turn up only when the wine brewing was done a few years later. Therefore, he purchased a batch of ready-made Maotai and whiskey from the system.
As for the Maotai and whiskey brewery, Mag had intended to hand it over to Hannah after her rum factory successfully started operating, and was in the production phase.
According to the system, it had reinstated the ancient way of brewing the wine. In addition to the refined way of modern wine brewing, it had created the best-quality Maotai.
Mag did not enjoy white wine, but he did have a few cups of Maotai before when drinking with seniors. Comparing the fragrance alone, the system’s Maotai did thrash the ones that he had before.
“Don’t be in a rush to drink it. I’ll get you some dishes to go with it,” Mag told Irina, who was grabbing the wine bottle in a rush to down it all.
“There are still dishes to go with it?” Irina was slightly surprised. However, she still sat by the table with the wine bottle.
In no time at all, Mag came out with a small tray. There were drunkard peanuts, pig ears salad, and pig tongue salad, as well as a shot glass.
“They are all new dishes. When did you learn it behind my back?” Irina was surprised when she saw the dishes.
“I didn’t learn them. I created them,” Mag said calmly. She picked up the bottle of wine, and poured a glass of Maotai for Irina. “You’ll get drunk easily with this. It’s different from beer. Drink it slowly and savor it slowly.”
“Aren’t you sitting down to have a couple of glasses with me?” Irina saw that there was only a shot glass.
“Today is the first day of the tavern’s opening. I won’t be drinking, otherwise I won’t be able to serve the customers properly.” Mag shook his head with a smile. He was not so conceited to think that he could drink shot after shot and not get drunk.
As a tavern owner with professional ethics, in order to give his clients the best service, his principle was always not to drink during work hours.
“Alright, then I will drink alone.” Irina picked up the glass, and took a small sip.
After taking the sip, she furrowed her beautiful brows. It was indeed a little different from beer. This Maotai was rather soft.
However, her frown eased very quickly. The refreshing texture exploded in her mouth, and the rich alcohol made her want to analyze its fragrance.
The fragrance of grains and the sweetness after fermentation… All the fragrances were too much for her to handle.
If beer was a maiden dressed in a sundress, Maotai would be a lady carrying a pipa with her face half-hidden. When you took away her pipa, there was still a veil over her face.
After a very long time, Irina opened her eyes. The taste was still lingering in her mouth. It was a taste that had her asking for more.
“This wine is marvelous!” Irina praised.
It was gentle and sweet like fruit wine, and its refreshingness was different from that of beer. This Maotai made her realize that wine could be savored slowly. The elegant and fine texture made it irresistible.
“Don’t just drink, have some food,” Mag reminded Irina, who picked up her glass for another shot.
“Would I not get drunk if I had a peanut?” Irina used her chopsticks to pick up a drunkard peanut, and sent it into her mouth.
Crunch!
When her teeth collided with the peanut, there was a soft crunch.
“It’s crunchy!”
Irina had tried the goblins’ salted peanuts before, and she did not really like their soft, mushy texture. However, this peanut without its husk was actually crunchy!
After that, its fragrance exploded in her mouth. The numbness from the Sichuan pepper, the spiciness and fragrance from the chili, and the amazing fragrances from the other spices were released as she chewed.
Crunch, crunch, crunch…
“This peanut is really fragrant.” Irina looked up at Mag, and threw another peanut into her mouth as she smiled happily.
She looked as though she was saying, “My hubby is the best!”
“Of course, can’t you see who’s the one who made it.” Mag smiled brightly too. The drunkard peanuts were his culinary skills condensed into a small plate, representing the powerhouse of all side dishes to go with alcohol.

“I didn’t expect Romo Street to become so desolate as well.” A middle-aged man in a long black robe walked on Romo Street, sighing when he saw the shops by the street closed and put up for rent.
Bobby was an official with the military. Many things had happened in the military for the past two days, and this made the suave military land into a sorry state within a night.
The military had been cordoned off for three whole days. Many officials were brought away to be questioned, and even those with idle roles like him were not spared. He was only allowed to go back to the military to continue working today.
He heard about the family murder case in Rodu yesterday. It was the family of the superior he respected the most. Last night, when the superior received the news, he smashed his head against the wall and passed away.
Nothing could be expected. After finishing his work at hand, Bobby did not feel like going home. He intended to have a little drink at Romo Street.
However, the taverns he used to visit often with his superiors had all closed down. The familiar restaurants and taverns were all gone. All that was left was the empty street.
“Ah.” Bobby sighed. He glanced at the crowded Titan Tavern far away. He had heard of that tavern before. The wine there was so-so, but the lady boss there was quite a beauty.
He just wanted to have a quiet drink alone, but it seemed there was no better choice now.
“Hmm?” Just when he was about to walk to Titan Tavern, a faint alcoholic scent stopped him in his tracks.
He frowned slightly, and sniffed even harder.
“Is that the fragrance of wine?” Bobby was rather surprised and uncertain. The fragrance was too enticing.
After slight hesitation, he followed the scent, and arrived at a brightly lit tavern soon after.
I can’t believe this tavern is still around.?Bobby was rather surprised. However, after looking at the signboard, he understood.?The owner has changed.
However, the scent became stronger when he walked closer to the tavern.
If he had simply wanted to get wasted at the start, then now he would really want to give the fragrant wine a shot, and let himself be intoxicated by this delicious wine.
The tavern appeared to have started operating, so he pushed the door open and entered.
The layout of the tavern was completely different. The hall was very spacious, and the place looked simple and classy. It had a brown, wooden theme, making one feel very comfortable and relaxed.
Meanwhile, Bobby’s gaze was drawn to the only customer in the tavern, or rather the little crystal glass in front of her. That was where the rich fragrance came from..
