Chapter three hundred and eighty sixth, smell the fragrance, distinguish the taste, fight the wine
"I advise you not to think too much. Elder She from the Black Demon Palace is here for the wine tasting conference today."
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded, interrupting the discussions among the drinkers around him.
Lu Feng looked around and found that the person who spoke was just an ordinary drinker. He probably had contact with the Black Demon Palace. He overheard this incident and started to publicize it proudly.
When the drinkers around heard this, several soul masters who were originally very interested in participating in the competition and wanted to compete were discouraged on the spot. As people who are good drinkers, they had naturally heard of She Qingshu's name. That was three drinks in a row.
A great wine tycoon who stays drunk for three days and nights and can clearly distinguish hundreds of kinds of wine.
Fight with him?
What a joke.
Even if he wins, with She Qingshu's ruthlessness, he might not be able to drink that pot of wine with his life.
…
The wine tasting conference officially opened.
Chimei stood on the high platform in the center of the restaurant, presiding over and announcing the rules of the competition. She divided the entire drinking competition into three rounds.
In the first round, the organizer will randomly arrange ten glasses of wine, and participants only need to smell seven of them to pass.
In the second round, taste identification, there is a bottle of wine on each competition table, and participants need to smell the names of the wines mixed in it to pass the test.
In the third round, there is a drinking competition to see who has the better drinking capacity. The one who persists will pass.
The gongs and drums sounded, and the competition began.
The first round was held in a closed room, and the drinkers entered one by one. Lu Feng had the information revealed by Chi Mei in advance and passed the first round easily.
In the end, only ten people out of more than thirty drinkers passed through.
She Qingshu not only passed the test easily, but was also the only participant other than Lu Feng who could smell all the wine names.
Chi Mei stood on the stage of the restaurant and announced the list of those who passed the test. After She Qingshu heard that besides him, there was another person who also smelled them all, his eyes were fixed on Lu Feng.
Lu Feng wore the bamboo hat he got from Ling Tian on his head, which covered his appearance. His aura was reserved. Faced with She Qingshu's glance, he took the initiative to challenge: "Don't think you are the only one who knows how to drink? As long as I'm here today,
You can’t get either the fine wine or the Origin Stone.”
She Qingshu immediately became furious and started to walk towards Lu Feng.
"stop!"
Chi Mei's expression became stern, and she shouted softly: "Anyone who beats other drinkers privately will be excluded from this wine tasting conference."
She Qingshu's face was cold, and he glanced at Chimei, then sternly warned Lu Feng: "You can't get out of this gate alive today."
Lu Feng put away his smile, looked sternly, and said with an evil smile: "What I said to you, even if I lose today, I will not let the fine wine fall into your hands."
Seeing Lu Feng's repeated provocations and irritating She Qingshu, Chimei was worried that the latter would not be able to resist taking action, so she quickly ordered the waiter of the restaurant to make preparations for the second round.
Soon, ten wine tables were arranged neatly in the center of the restaurant, with only one wine pot and one wine glass placed on each table.
Chimei looked at the ten drinkers who had passed the test and signaled: "The second round of taste identification has officially begun. Please take your seats one by one."
According to the ranking order of those who passed the first round, She Qingshu and Lu Feng came to stand side by side and were displayed at the front wine table.
Lu Feng picked up the wine flask, poured a glass into the cup, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. After pretending to think for a while, he was the first to go to Chi Mei, picked up a pen and ink and wrote down the "identified" wine.
Name. Having already learned the test questions from Chi Mei in advance, Lu Feng easily wrote out the names of all ten wines silently.
This second round is already a sure win.
At the wine table, She Qingshu never poured wine into the glass. When he saw Lu Feng coming on stage proudly, he even gave up the idea of pouring wine. He directly opened the lid of the wine bottle, fanned the smell with his hand, and then went up to the stage to write about wine.
name.
"Yipin Chun, seventy years old..."
She Qingshu also wrote down ten wine names in succession.
This made Lu Feng even secretly admire his knowledge of drinks.
The rest of the drinkers who were still discerning saw that Lu Feng and She Qingshu had finished distinguishing, and instantly lost their momentum. Not to mention distinguishing by smell alone, some of them had even drank more than half of the bottle of wine, and the only thing they could distinguish from them was
Three or four wine names.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chi Mei interrupted the other drinkers' differentiation and ruthlessly disqualified them from advancing to the third round.
She Qingshu looked at Lu Feng, who was still wearing a bamboo hat, and recalled the way he distinguished the drinks. He seemed a bit unbecoming of a drinker. She couldn't help but wonder if the other person was an insider of the restaurant, in order to prevent the final good wine from falling into the hands of others.
hand.
Although She Qingshu was confident about the third round of the wine fight, in order to prevent unexpected events, he still said: "I am the winner in the second round. If it is difficult to distinguish between the two sides in the third round of the wine fight, I should win."
Chimei's face looked a little ugly when she heard this. She Qingshu's performance in the second round was obviously better, and she couldn't be too blatantly partial in front of everyone.
Lu Feng spoke up to resolve Chi Mei's dilemma.
"In this second round, your wine has not left the pot, but I am smelling it in the cup. It is indeed your skill that is superior."
"But if you want to expect to be equal to me in the third round, then I advise you not to dream. I have never poured a thousand cups since I was a child, and I have never met an opponent in a drinking contest."
Faced with Lu Feng's provocation, She Qingshu said disdainfully: "How can anyone get drunk after just a thousand cups?"
After saying that, he looked at Chi Mei and reminded: "To be able to reach this round, the two of us are extraordinary in the wine road. If it is the third round of drinking, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the difference in three days and three nights if we drink dry.
Next, we need to set a time. When the time comes, if there is no winner, I will be the winner and the wine will be mine."
Chimei said in a sweet voice: "Both of you are good wine drinkers, and both are not weak in strength. The little girl has taken this into consideration, so the third round is not about extraordinary wine, but the spiritual brew "Fire Cloud Burning"
"I believe that you two also have a certain understanding of Huoyun Shao. Not to mention the strength of the two of you in the Five Elements Realm, even if the Earth Soul Realm soul master comes, it will be difficult to drink this kind of spiritual brew for three hours continuously."
"So, the time limit for the third round is set at three hours."
"That's very good." She Qingshu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, so he asked: "It's just a competition, why does this Dixian Restaurant want to use the spirit brew to determine the winner?"
Chimei had already thought of an excuse and responded: "Who can burn such fine wines with cold jade ice, how can he care about burning some fire clouds? His old man's purpose is just to find such fine wines before he dies. A worthy master."
"What?!"
She Qingshu's expression was full of emotion, and there was no trace of calmness in her heart. "You said that the person who took out the cold jade ice-burning will pass the wine recipe to me? Wouldn't it mean that I can drink such fine wine every day from now on?"
The drinkers around him were all extremely envious.
Chi Mei smiled sweetly and corrected: "It's not passed on to you, but to the winner of this drinking contest."
"That's me," She Qingshu said proudly.
As a kind of spiritual brew, Huoyunshao has the auxiliary effect of activating the five elements of qi in the body after drinking. If the five elements of fire qi have been refined, the effect will be more significant, but it is limited to the first few pots, no matter how much you drink. , the active effect will not be improved.
Therefore, Huoyunshao is a kind of slow wine. The correct way to drink it is to drink it consistently and drink some every day.
To be honest, using it to compete in drinking capacity is a bit wasteful.
Chimei never understood Lu Feng's intention for such an arrangement. She spent a lot of money to buy these fire clouds, including a lot of her own personal money over the years.
A full eighty pots of fire are burned, worth millions of soul coins, and every sip you take is a huge sum of money.
"The third round has officially begun."
"Ten pots are used as a node. If one party drinks ten pots and the other party has not finished drinking one stick of incense, they will be eliminated."
Chimei divided Huoyunshao into two piles and placed them in front of Lu Feng and She Qingshu.
Lu Feng secretly took a few extremely cold elixirs obtained from Ye Fan in advance, which infected his body with a layer of cold poison. After running his spiritual energy to digest the medicine, he took the Huoyun Shao and drank it.
People all over the world pay attention to the effect of Huoyunshao on improving the vitality of Qi, but they ignore that it has another inconspicuous use.
Drive away cold.
Although the effect of Huoyunshao in repelling cold is not obvious, it is very obvious when drinking a lot.
Lu Feng knew that he was no match for She Qingshu in the wine fight, so he chose to rely on medicine to offset part of the power of Huoyun Shao in order to last a little longer.
What he wants is not to win, but to "accompany" She Qingshu to drink for a while.
A pot.
Two pots.
…
Ten pots.
Soon, She Qingshu had taken the lead in drinking ten pots of Huoyunshao. No matter how strong his drinking power was, there was still a layer of wine dizziness on his face, and his chubby cheeks looked very rosy.
Following She Qingshu's lead, Lu Feng also drank the tenth pot of Huoyunshao. Although the cold poison in his body offset most of the alcoholic strength of Huoyunshao, he still felt a little tipsy and his cheeks were even redder.
"Continue!" Lu Feng shouted boldly, picked up the eleventh pot of Huoyunshao, and drank it all in one gulp.
She Qingshu didn't show any weakness here. In order to speed up, he no longer drank directly from the spout, but directly opened the lid of the pot and poured it into his mouth.
In the crowd, Gu Lingling and Fan Linlin saw Lu Feng drinking so heavily and felt a little worried in their hearts. They did not dare to look away at all for fear of something unexpected happening.
Ling Tian sighed slightly. If he had known that Lu Feng's plan was to have a drinking fight, he would definitely rush to take Lu Feng's place. Speaking of drinking, he had never been drunk.
Twelve pots, thirteen pots...
Sixteen pots…
Eighteen pots…
Lu Feng couldn't help but stop when he drank the nineteenth pot. He let out a wine burp and felt a burning sensation in his stomach. At this moment, the cold poison in his body had been completely driven away, and no trace of it remained.
After She Qingshu drank the twentieth pot of Huoyunshao, the energy of the five elements in his body was already extremely active and needed to be secretly suppressed to calm it down, and he became three points more drunk.
Seeing Lu Feng pick up the 20th bottle of wine, She Qingshu questioned Lu Feng's drinking capacity. Ordinary people couldn't hold it here. She couldn't help but look at Lu Feng's expressionless face hidden under the bamboo hat.
She Qingshu suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I suspect there is a secret hidden in your bamboo hat, and you didn't drink those fire clouds at all."
