"Hey, what is that look in your eyes?"
Sensing Ringer's scrutiny, Elise showed signs of losing her temper again.
Linge didn't want to provoke her at this time, so he looked away silently, and walked to the bookshelf next to the alchemy table.
"Are these your recipes for bartending?"
"That's the notes left by the alchemist who used to live here. I learned my bartending skills from the notes he left behind."
"Alchemy notes? Bartending?"
A trace of curiosity arose in Ringer's heart, and he took down a thick book from the bookshelf. There was a line of dim handwriting on it, "Delicious Edible Plants".
After a cursory glance, the book records the plants in this world, with detailed descriptions of their growth locations, taste, toxicity, and eating methods.
The wine of the earth is also made of various plants, such as wine made of grapes, beer made of barley malt, rice wine made of rice, millet, black rice, corn, glutinous rice, wheat, etc., also known as rice wine , and the famous Mexican national drink tequila.
In addition, there is also a classification of blended wine. This type of wine is based on distilled or brewed wine, and is prepared by adding various herbs, medicinal materials, seeds, and fruits through blending, soaking, mixing and other techniques, such as "wine+ Absinthe" various absinthes, Chinese medicinal wine soaked in different medicinal materials, etc.
After he glanced around, he saw that the characteristics and similarities of several plants were very familiar, and they were similar to some wine mixing materials on the earth. If these plants were used as raw materials, maybe new wines could be made, and it was Wines unique to this world.
A strange and unexplored new world about wine seemed to be slowly opening a corner before his eyes, which excited him more than discovering that this world was magical.
He took another book from the bookshelf, titled "Biological Materials That Can Prepare Delicious Drinks", he flipped through a few pages, his expression changed.
The above records are all strange materials, even some heavy flavors, such as octopus blood, the eyeballs of the evil eye monster, the spinal fluid of the leopard, the pituitary gland of the three-legged ape, and some other messy monster organs. He even saw several types of excrement...
He stuffed the book back on the shelf with complicated emotions, and said with some worry:
"Elise, tell me you haven't put eyeballs or anything weird in your guests' glasses."
Elise replied solemnly: "I added it, there is a drink in the note here, which is to add the eyeballs of the hundred-eyed monster to the wine, and then mix it with the milk of the female chimera. The eyeballs of the hundred-eyed monster are very small and round. It’s the same as pearls, so this wine is called pearl milk wine.”
"Did the guest drink?"
Elise scratched her head in embarrassment: "I drank it, but he never came to the store again."
God, no wonder there are so few customers in the Emerald Bar, Ringer groaned inwardly.
Originally, there were not many customers who were eligible to enter the store, and the customers who finally came were to be tortured by the devil's wine that Elise concocted. He suddenly felt a heavy pressure.
If those customers come back to the store again, he must do his best to save the reputation of the Emerald Bar.
"Where's that notebook?"
Elise took a black leather notebook from the bookshelf and handed it to Ringer.
"Here, this is it."
The cover of this notebook seems to be made of the skin of some kind of creature. It feels very tough to the touch. There is no writing on the cover, but a name is written in a scrawled note on the lower right corner of the title page.
Rabid Rewa.
In addition, there are four words written on this page: understanding, decomposition, transformation, and construction.
This is probably the philosophy of this alchemist named Rabid.
Ringer continued to read. This notebook was indeed studying alchemy seriously at the beginning, recording Rabid's alchemy experience. The front page was full of strange symbols and patterns, accompanied by obscure or even completely unintelligible words. Text.
But in the latter part, strange recipes began to appear, accompanied by the feeling after drinking and the direction of modification.
For example, this drink called "Moon Killer":
5 grams of night devil pollen, 20 ml of fresh silver ring snake blood, 3 grams of wraith dust, 40 ml of ale, the color after mixing is very beautiful, reddish and cool, a bit like the noble wine of Wangdu, the taste is refreshing and slightly bitter, but the stamina Quite enough, if you can add the blood of silver flying snake, an advanced species of silver ring snake, it may help improve the taste...
After reaching a certain page, all the obscure words and mysterious patterns disappeared, leaving behind only strange formulas and ideas. On that page was recorded the confession of the alchemist named Rabid:
The **** of alchemy, the great sage Hodheim, please guide me. Does the holy stone that contains the mystery of eternal life really exist in the world? I have studied alchemy all my life, and I haven't figured out how to refine the holy stone, and I don't even see hope, but my beautiful long hair, which is as bright as the sun, has all left me. Please forgive your humble believer, God of alchemy, Hodheim, I use alchemy to satisfy my own vile appetite, and I will completely degenerate. Sincerely, Rabbid, an insignificant alchemy apprentice.
Ringer silently closed his notebook.
Undoubtedly, this alchemist named Rabid is a pioneer in bartending in this world. Perhaps he discovered these by accident in the process of studying alchemy~www.mtlnovel.com~, so he recorded it.
Although some strange materials were added because of alchemy, his approach was definitely groundbreaking. If he didn't study alchemy at first, but wine, he might have become a legendary bartender.
It's a pity that his notes didn't spread, and the only one passed on was a stupid spider who didn't know how to mix wine.
Elise was keenly aware that Ringer was looking at her, and there was an inexplicable sadness and sympathy in that gaze, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Hey, if you look at me like that again, I'll really beat you up."
Really sensitive, is this the spider sensor?
Ringer looked back silently, put the notes back on the shelf, and said, "Can I make a copy of these books on the shelf?"
"copy?"
Ringer took out the photocopied magic book bought from Alison's magic shop, and some pages were still empty.
"It means to copy."
"Oh? Do you want to learn the formula above?"
Ringer shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't dare to add some strange dirty things to the guests' wine glasses, just as a reference, maybe we can develop wines that belong to this world."
"You have an idea, okay, but after you develop a new formula, you have to teach me as soon as possible."
"no problem."
Linge readily agreed, and recorded all the books on the bookshelf into the photocopying magic book, planning to read them slowly after returning home. Anyway, there are no customers in the store now, and there is plenty of time every day.
When he turned around, he saw a fist-sized spider hanging by Elise's ear, and seemed to say something to her.
Elise showed a surprised look.
"Oh? Someone broke into the depths of the cave?"
