Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 256 Evaluation

Secondly, his wife had once saved his life.

Even after being married for many years and having no children, he resolutely refused to take a concubine, a deep affection that is truly admirable.

"Come on, drink up!" Zhou Xiaoci said with a smile, holding the wine pot and pouring the wine into the wine cup in front of Lord Gu.

Lord Gu boldly waved his hand, pushing aside the wine cup in front of him and snatching the wine pot from Zhou Xiaoci's hand.

He tilted his head back and gulped down the liquor, which dripped down his chin and soaked his shirt.

But he was completely oblivious, shouting loudly, "Haha, that's great! We're going to drink until we drop today!"

Meanwhile, Su Yue, who was inside the Cangxiang Pavilion, hadn't come for the past two days.

The girls inside said that the taverns in the capital city are especially lively at night.

So, as night fell and the lanterns were lit, Su Yue left the Hidden Incense Pavilion, and the three of them headed straight for the tavern.

Before long, Su Yue and her two companions found a tavern. She stopped and peered inside through the window.

Just as the rumors said, the tavern was packed with people and very lively!

Not only that, but there was also a storyteller telling a story vividly, which sometimes made the audience burst into laughter.

And every now and then, you can hear melodious tunes being played.

Compared to the noisy and bustling Tibetan Incense Pavilion, this place appears more elegant.

However, neither the fine wines here nor the fragrant delicacies in the Cangxiang Pavilion could satisfy Su Yue's rather discerning palate; they all seemed to lack something.

Upon entering the tavern, Su Yue went straight up to the second floor without hesitation.

She found a seat by the window, then called over the waiter and ordered several delicious dishes to go with her drinks.

After the food and drinks were served, Su Yue got up and left her seat, pretending to go out for some fresh air.

In reality, he took out two large jars of fruit wine from his own space.

Gu Yuan was genuinely curious, but he knew that some things shouldn't be asked too much, especially about Su Yue's background.

So he kept his mouth shut and buried his curiosity deep in his heart.

Meanwhile, Dali was already drooling over the fruit wine in Su Yue's space.

The fruit wine was not only sweet and smooth, but it also didn't have the intoxicating effect of ordinary alcoholic beverages at all, making it her absolute favorite!

Sure enough, as soon as she saw the jar of fruit wine, she couldn't wait to pick it up, gently lift the lid, and a rich fruity aroma instantly wafted out.

Immediately afterwards, she nimbly picked up the bowls and poured a full bowl for each of the three of them.

The aroma of that fruit wine was so sweet and enticing, it seemed to steal one's soul.

Just smelling it is enough to make you feel intoxicated and unable to stop.

Dali picked up his glass, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp. Then, he smacked his lips in satisfaction and exclaimed loudly, "Delicious! It's so delicious!"

Then I finished another bowl before I finally felt satisfied.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Remembering how I accidentally got drunk last time I was drinking and caused quite a bit of trouble, I'll have to be much more careful this time.

So he first took a small, cautious sip, intending only to taste it briefly.

To his surprise, the fruit wine was so delicious that he couldn't help but drink it down in large gulps.

When the bowl was empty, he finally snapped out of his daze.

Looking at Su Yue, she also downed her entire glass of wine in one gulp without hesitation, then looked at Gu Yuan with a smile and reassured him, "Drink with confidence! This is fruit wine, it won't make you drunk so easily."

The rich aroma of the fruit wine, like an invisible hand, quickly spread through the cracks in the doors and windows, reaching all directions.

You should know that in this tavern, other things may be limited in quantity, but there are countless drunkards who are particularly fond of alcohol.

Here, no fine wine can escape the incredibly sensitive noses of these wine connoisseurs.

They seem to possess an innate ability to smell fine wines; the slightest hint of wine in the air will immediately catch their attention.

In reality, Su Yue was unaware of the reason behind it.

She didn't know why the tavern was so lively at night.

Little did people know that the key reason was that the tavern often offered some amazing wines for people to taste.

Moreover, the tavern has a unique rule: all the good wines brought by guests must be brought out for everyone to taste and judge.

If this drink tastes better than the best available in the tavern, then this guest will become a highly respected VIP in the future.

Furthermore, once a new, fine wine is produced, the tavern will send someone to your residence immediately for you to sample free of charge.

Not long after, a soft knocking sound suddenly rang out, echoing in front of the private room where Su Yue was.

Upon hearing the sound, Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the table, stood up and walked towards the door.

When he opened the door, he found that the waiter standing outside was none other than the one from before.

The waiter, all smiles and with utmost respect, said, "Sir, I'm so sorry to bother you. Our manager specifically instructed me to come and inquire whether the wine you brought would be willing to participate in this competition?"

"A competition? What competition?" Gu Yuan looked blank, racking his brains for a long time, but he couldn't recall anything about it.

At this moment, the waiter hurriedly came over and said with a big smile, "To answer your question, sir, it is the fine wine you brought that you can bring here for everyone to taste and evaluate!"

If your wine is even better than the best one in our tavern, that would be amazing!

"From now on, every time you come to our tavern for a drink, it'll be completely free!" The waiter winked as he spoke, emphasizing the tempting offer.

Su Yue, who had been listening quietly to the side, had her eyes light up the moment she heard that she could eat, drink, and have fun here for free. She thought to herself: Is there really such a good thing in the world? This is just too good to pass up!

How could she disagree? She was more than happy to agree; she was overjoyed!

This will save me some money, and I'm so happy just thinking about it.

"Yes, yes, we'll join!" Su Yue excitedly ran to the waiter.

He then asked, "Can I participate with any kind of alcohol?"

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The wine you're drinking now is fine, or any other wine, but it must be one that we don't have here."

Now Su Yue was even more relieved, because the wine in her space was all of the finest quality.
