Chapter 217: Wine Is God's Curse On Dwarves
"fine wine"
If there were dwarf captives who were unwilling to talk to Li Fan before, when Li Fan said these two words, all the dwarves became excited.
Alcohol is their nemesis. They can skip meals, drink water, and supplement salt, but they just can't stop drinking.
Although they didn't think that such a small valley like Li Fan could produce any good wine, they couldn't help but look forward to it in their hearts.
At this moment, the 131 dwarf captives all stared at Li Fan with their eyes wide open.
Li Fan didn't intend to whet their appetite. With a wave of his right hand, more than a dozen human races came up with a lot of wine glasses and bottles of wine.
It can be seen that they have long been prepared.
They first distributed a small wine glass to each dwarf captive in an orderly manner, then picked up a bottle of beer and poured it into the wine glass in the dwarf's hand.
The dwarf captive looked at the beer in front of him suspiciously.
"Isn't this just ale? The so-called good wine...is this?"
Looking at the yellow liquid in the wine glass, the dwarf captive was very disappointed. The only difference between this wine and ale is that there are continuous bubbles in this wine, and even a layer of hops accumulate on the surface.
And other than that, there's nothing great about it.
What's even worse is that the wine glasses Li Fan gave were too small, not enough for them to take a sip at all.
Although the dwarven captives were disappointed by this, but after all, it was free wine, and they couldn't help but gulped it down.
The next moment, all the dwarven captives realized that something was wrong. Although the wine was like ale, it tasted countless times better than ale. They have a new feeling that they have never experienced before.
"Good wine, but it's a pity that the quantity is too small. If you can pour it into your mouth in big gulps, it will definitely be very refreshing."
Just when the dwarf captive felt sorry for this, Li Fan waved his hand again.
The human race holding the wine bottle put down the beer in their hands and picked up another light red wine.
This is liqueur, a kind of rice wine. It has a low alcohol content and is slightly sweet. It is very suitable for people who don't like strong alcohol.
As the humans began to pour rum for each dwarf captive, the dwarf captives realized that they didn't only have one kind of wine to taste.
While they were overjoyed, they couldn't help being curious about the next wine. After all, the first beer was countless times better than ale. Are the next wines so special?
The reddish liqueur was poured into the wine glass, and almost all the dwarf prisoners poured it into their mouths without hesitation.
They tasted it silently for a while, and then couldn't help but nodded. This wine is not bad, although it is not strong enough, but it has a sweet taste, without the bitterness of wine, and it is much better than wine.
The dwarven captives nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Li Fan waved his hand again, and the dozen or so human races began to share the wine for the third time.
The dwarf captive couldn't wait to raise his wine glass in front of him, obediently waiting for the human race to share the wine.
At this time, they were not as rebellious as before, they were more like a group of children obediently waiting for the teacher to share candy.
...
For the third time, the wine was divided into a transparent wine, which was made from sweet potatoes grown in the territory.
Sweet Potato Burn can barely be regarded as a kind of strong alcohol. Although the alcohol is only 15 or 16 degrees, this alcohol is already considered a very high alcohol in the Magic Continent that has not yet mastered the distillation technology.
Therefore, as soon as the dwarf captive smelled the alcohol smell from the sweet potatoes, his eyes lit up.
They found out after just a sniff that the wine was not only strong enough, but also full-bodied.
The wine had just been poured into the glasses in their hands.
The dwarf captive drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp for fear that others would rob him like him.
At that moment, almost all the dwarven captives showed expressions of enjoyment, and it could be seen that this kind of sweet potato burning was already a rare good wine in their eyes.
"Is that enough?"
Li Fan couldn't help grinning, it's time to reveal his big killer.
That is distilled spirits.
Strictly speaking, the distilled wine is not necessarily better than the undistilled wine.
But from the drinking posture of the dwarf captives, it can be seen that these guys care more about whether the wine is strong enough than the aroma and taste of the wine.
In the eyes of these dwarven captives, strong wine is equal to good wine, and stronger wine is equal to better wine.
But distilled wine has no other advantages, that is, it is strong enough, and it can be as strong as it wants. Li Fan can even distill the kind of wine that is above 90 degrees and can burn when it encounters a flame.
Instead, he was afraid that these dwarves would not be able to hold on.
...
With Li Fan's right hand waved for the fourth time, the last batch of distilled wine was also distributed to the dwarven captives by a dozen human races.
The alcohol content of this batch of distilled alcohol is not high, only about 40 degrees.
But this degree is definitely considered a treasure level in the Magic Continent.
It is estimated that there is no alcohol with a higher alcohol content than this batch of distilled alcohol in the entire Magic Continent.
...
The dwarf prisoner looked at the transparent wine in the glass, which looked like pure water, and couldn't help swallowing before drinking it.
The smell of this wine is so strong, so...stimulating, they so...like it.
This time, the dwarf captive did not take a sip in a hurry, but carefully moved the wine glass to his lips, for fear of spilling a small drop during the whole process.
At the moment when the wine glass touched their lips, they opened their mouths violently, and then used all their strength to inhale the wine in the glass.
hot…
rush……
This is the first feeling of all dwarves.
The moment they swallowed the distilled alcohol, it was as if a fire burned from their mouths to their stomachs.
The faces of many dwarf prisoners changed, as if they couldn't bear such a high level of liquor.
Yet by the time they get over that stinging feeling, the first words that come out of their mouths are all.
"Good wine, the best wine I've ever had in my life."
...
In the forging room, the dwarf captives showed ecstasy. From time to time, they put the wine glass under their noses and smelled it, as if they were still intoxicated by the wonderful experience of distilled wine.
Some of the dwarf captives even licked and licked their wine glasses in vain, until there was no more liquid in the wine glasses, and they showed a look of despair, as if their whole bodies had been hollowed out.
At the thought that such delicious wine might never be drunk again, all the dwarven captives felt that their lives had lost their purpose and their meaning.
Seeing this, Li Fan knew that these guys had almost taken the bait, so he said immediately.
"As I said before, our territory has always treated prisoners well, so as long as you honestly complete the tasks I assigned every day, then I will allow you to choose one of these four wines and drink a glass every day. "
"What?" The dwarf prisoner was shocked. He could drink such a delicious glass of wine every day. How do they feel... that they have made money as prisoners?
A dwarf captive stood up suddenly at this moment, he stared angrily at Li Fan with wide eyes, and the surrounding atmosphere became tense because of this.
But at this moment, he was walking towards Li Fan step by step, and when Ying and others couldn't help but stepped forward to stop him, he yelled fiercely.
"I... I... Can I start forging weapons now? Your lord."
These words really make Li Fan still have a shadow and they will not be able to deal with it.
Is it really good for you, a prisoner, to be so positive at work?
However, Li Fan still underestimated the temptation of fine wine to the dwarves.
Just when the prisoner applied for immediate work, the remaining dwarves all stood up, and each of them also applied for immediate forging of weapons.
The reason is simple, they want to drink today's glass of wine.
Some people even started asking if they could drink two glasses of that fine wine if they could forge two weapons in one day.
As for rest? What rest, what is there to rest, can rest be as important as drinking?
At that moment, Li Fan actually saw involuntary in this kind of dwarf captive, and the involuntary was still so crazy.
It was also at that moment that Li Fan finally believed what Dozina had said,
"Wine is the curse of the gods on the dwarves."
