My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 351 - 196: Evergreen Tavern

"A tavern?"

Zhang Fuguang asked in surprise, "Mr. Changqing can brew wine?"

"Yes." Li Changqing was not much of a drinker himself, but in his previous life, his father-in-law ran a small distillery, and Li Changqing had helped out there for a while.

So he understood the basic processes.

Back when he was at the Yan family, Li Changqing had attempted brewing some, and the things he made were carried over in his dimension ring.

Along with some food he had made previously, which was also stored inside.

Moreover, the wines of the Cangyuan Realm generally had lower alcohol content, similar to the wines of ancient times. Li Changqing was preparing to use grains to brew some stronger ones, which he believed some people would enjoy.

Li Changqing had intended to take out a jar of wine from his ring for Zhang Fuguang to taste, but then he glanced at the ring and remembered that the body of the assassin from the Blood Shadow Sect, whom he killed yesterday, was still inside.

He didn’t find anything valuable on the assassin.

"Sigh, it’s not easy doing your kind of work." Li Changqing couldn’t help but sigh again, then dug a hole in the backyard to bury it.

Gradually.

A few days later.

A small tavern quietly opened in Zi Wu City on a place called Tonghua Lane, named Evergreen Tavern.

There was no fanfare when it opened.

The tavern’s flag was hung out, and then it quietly began its operations. The small shop was very clean, with six tables.

A few boards hung on the wall.

Listing the names of some dishes.

And also showcasing the house drinks of Evergreen Tavern.

One of them was called Peach Blossom Brew.

The other was called Bai Jiu.

Both were high-proof wines, but their tastes were completely different. Li Changqing had Zhang Fuguang try them after brewing.

The Peach Blossom Brew contained a peach blossom fragrance, particularly aromatic and mellow, with a gentle taste that made one feel like basking in spring breezes.

While the Bai Jiu was different, with a higher alcohol content, a sip brought a spicy feeling rushing to your head, like a knife’s sharpness!

Despite that, it gave a feeling!

Magnificence!

Both wines had their own character, but Zhang Fuguang was astonished; it was the best wine he’d tasted in his life!

The strongest wine he had drunk before couldn’t compare to even half of these two!

Li Changqing said it was normal since both wines were over fifty percent alcohol.

And the few appetizers listed in the shop were kept very simple by Li Changqing.

Fried Peanuts.

Smashed Cucumbers.

Hunan Peppers with Century Eggs.

Braised Beef.

These dishes were relatively simple. As for century eggs, Li Changqing had cured plenty when he was at the Yan family, intending to enjoy them himself, and now they were sold in the shop.

Century eggs didn’t exist at all in the Cangyuan Realm.

Zhang Fuguang had been curious about this dish earlier, so Li Changqing let him try one.

Zhang Fuguang chewed up one and almost threw up.

The taste was something he couldn’t quite handle.

Zhang Fuguang bluntly said no one would eat such a thing.

But when Li Changqing prepared Hunan peppers, cut open a century egg, and paired it with a sauce made from aged vinegar and other seasonings, the dish’s flavor changed dramatically.

Crying out in amazement, Zhang Fuguang found it miraculous.

The drizzle continued.

Pattering gently.

The entire Zi Wu City became exceptionally quiet.

With nothing else to do, Li Changqing sat at the door counting the days, estimating that Li Hengsheng should reach the National Guardian Mansion in about twenty days.

A few days ago, Li Changqing had written a letter.

One was sent to the Great Yuan Dynasty, addressed to Yuan Wudi.

Written in the identity of the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, hoping Yuan Wudi would ensure the disciples stationed at the National Guardian Mansion in the Great Yuan Dynasty would take good care of Li Hengsheng.

There was also a letter written for Zhang Muzhi.

But after thinking it over, since he was already in Beihan Country, he decided to visit directly.

Only upon reaching the Imperial City did Li Changqing discover Zhang Muzhi was in seclusion.

Without meeting Zhang Muzhi, Li Changqing returned.

The other disciple stationed at the National Guardian Mansion belonged to the Shao family, which Li Changqing was not familiar with, as the Shao family hadn’t participated in the Ghostly Realm trials previously.

"Mr. Changqing." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

At this time, Zhang Fuguang approached, looked at the rain outside, and said, "We’ve been open for three days, but no one has come."

"Is this place a bit too out of the way?"

"It’s fine if no one comes, it’s peaceful," Li Changqing laughed, "We’re not relying on this to make much money anyway."

"True enough."

Zhang Fuguang nodded.

Raindrops were falling, bringing an unusual peace to the mind.

Li Changqing sat on a small wicker chair, though his thoughts seemed elsewhere.

As the afternoon passed.

The rain continued, and until the afternoon, no one was seen along the entire Tonghua Lane.

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps came from afar.

A burly man ran over from a distance, looking panicked, and upon seeing Evergreen Tavern, he rushed in.

"Don’t say anything, or I’ll kill you!" the burly man told Zhang Fuguang and Li Changqing, then hid under a table.

Zhang Fuguang looked at the newcomer in surprise, then glanced at Li Changqing. Li Changqing said nothing, continuing to listen peacefully to the rain.

Since Li Changqing hadn’t said anything, Zhang Fuguang didn’t bother either.
