Chapter 196 – Changqing Tavern
Chapter 196 – Changqing Tavern
Proofreader & Editor : Howard Wong
"A tavern?" Zhang Fuguang asked in surprise, "Do you also brew wine?"
"Yes," Li Changqing, not particularly fond of alcohol himself, had a father-in-law in his previous life who owned a small distillery. Li Changqing had helped out for a time and thus understood the basic processes.
Before staying with the Yan family, Li Changqing had experimented with making some wine, which he kept in his Acceptance of Rings.
He also stored some homemade food there.
Moreover, the alcohol in the Cangyuan Realm generally had a lower alcohol content, similar to ancient wines. Li Changqing planned to try brewing some high-proof spirits, anticipating that some would enjoy them.
Li Changqing had intended to share a jar of wine with Zhang Fuguang, but a glance at his ring reminded him of the corpse of the Blood Shadow Sect assassin he had killed the day before, still inside.
The assassin's body yielded nothing of value.
"Sigh, your line of work is tough," Li Changqing remarked, then casually buried the body in the backyard.

A few days later...
In Zi Wu City, in a lane called Tonghua Alley, a modest tavern named Changqing Tavern quietly opened. There was no fanfare at its launch.
A flag was hung outside the tavern, marking its silent opening. The small establishment was neat, with six tables.
Several plaques hung on the wall, listing a few dishes.
Also highlighted were Changqing Tavern's signature wines.
One was called Peach Blossom Brew.
The other, Shao Dao Zi.
Both were high-proof spirits, yet their flavors were distinct. After Li Changqing brewed them, he had Zhang Fuguang taste them.
The Peach Blossom Brew was imbued with a peach blossom fragrance, exceptionally aromatic and smooth, giving a feeling akin to basking in spring breeze.
Shao Dao Zi was different; stronger, with a sharp, spicy sensation that shot straight to the brain, evoking a feeling of a knife's edge!
Despite this, it was exhilarating!
Both wines were unique, leaving Zhang Fuguang astounded. These were the best he'd ever tasted!
The strongest liquor he'd previously drunk paled in comparison to these two.
Li Changqing noted this was normal, as both wines were over fifty degrees.
