The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"If someone reserves such a valuable bottle, I'll definitely remember it. After all, a bottle costs hundreds of thousands of credits. If it's broken or lost, I can't afford the compensation," Anderson explained with a chuckle.

"That's strange. Could it be that the Rememberer can't afford it?" Poteo frowned.

(Black Swan: We’re collecting money, don’t worry.)

Dan Heng: "What should we do now?"

"No hurry, let's have a few drinks first. Maybe I got here too quickly and she hasn't caught up yet," Portio said, picking up the drink menu. "Let me see what single malt juices you have... Give me a glass of 'Hinnom 40 Year Old,' neat, no ice."

"W-what...what is 'Valley of Hinnom'?"

Li Bai was full of questions.

Is this wine?

Whose wine would have such a difficult-to-pronounce name?

"It's okay that people in the other world have strange names, but the names of the wines are also strange."

The names of their wines are better.

What about "Xifeng Liquor", "Fen Liquor", "Jiuniang Spring Liquor", "Jiannan Shaochun", "Dukang"...

Look, it sounds nice and full of cultural flavor, how great!

...I feel a little greedy, so I'll buy a jar of Jiannan Shaochun.

He once left behind the story of "removing the mink to redeem wine" in Jiannan.

Jiannan Shaochun is his favorite!

(The Valley of Hinnom, literally referring to pagan sacrifices, is generally used in the Bible to refer to Hell.)

(The "Valley of Hinnom" wine mentioned by Portio is probably whiskey. As the famous director Quentin Tarantino once said, "Those who waste high-quality whiskey will go to hell." Portio's line is probably a play on words...)

…………

“This is the most expensive wine on the list. You really know your stuff,” Anderson complimented.

"Hey, it's a gift, so why not drink it?" Potio chuckled. He didn't have much money, but since the family was footing the bill, why would he save money for them?

Anderson pretended not to hear and turned to look at Dan Heng: "Would you like anything?"

"Whatever, I'm fine with it." Dan Heng didn't care.

"How about today's special, 'Glass Village,'" Anderson said, turning around to mix the drinks for the two. "It's a classic Sulphur-soaked drink with a splash of lemon juice. It's refreshing and suits your cool, cool vibe. Please wait a moment."

"After a while, Anderson mixed two glasses of wine and brought them over."

"Potio lifted his glass of Hinnom and drank it in one hearty gulp. 'Whoosh! This rich, black powder roasted meat dipped in hydrogen peroxide is... absolutely amazing! It truly deserves to be the finest sherry-cask-matured malt juice in the galaxy.'"

"The smell of black powder barbecue dipped in hydrogen peroxide... is that really something humans would enjoy?" Dan Heng couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"I'm also saying... Can you drink this?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't understand what black powder was, nor did he understand what hydrogen peroxide was.

But he knows what barbecue is!

A bottle of wine...smells like barbecue?

Are you serious?

"The wine from other worlds... is really weird." Li Shimin didn't know what to say.

This was the first time that he didn't even have the slightest desire for a certain type of wine!

"Let's drink some Xifeng wine... Someone, go get some Xifeng wine. I want to drink with you, my dear ministers!"

Xifeng Liquor, one of the four famous liquors in China, was brewed as early as the Shang Dynasty.

It was called Qinjiu (gin?) and Liulinjiu in ancient times. According to legend, when King Wu defeated King Zhou, he rewarded his troops with Xifeng wine.

The "Feng" in Xifeng refers to the ancient place name - Fengxiang. The so-called "Fengming in Mount Qishan" story happened in Fengxiang.

For Li Shimin, this kind of wine is the right one.

Not only is it delicious, but it also has a good meaning.

King Wu of Zhou overthrew the cruel King Zhou, and he also overthrew the corrupt Sui Dynasty. Look at the meaning of this... wonderful, beyond words!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers were happy.

It’s such a pleasure to drink and watch the sky dome!

…………

"Hehe." Poteo chuckled and turned to look at Anderson: "He doesn't understand at all."

Anderson didn't understand, but he maintained his professionalism, his expression showing no emotion. "As long as you're satisfied, please enjoy."

After Anderson left, Potio got down to business: "Let's wait until the Memory One has reached half the system. If she doesn't show up, we'll find another way. This is enough time for us to review the current situation. In your opinion, where does the problem lie?"

“The situation is not clear.”

"Something must have happened to the star of the pageant, but the public remains in the dark about it. Someone high up in the family must be covering it up."

"It's unusual for Harmony to extend invitations to other factions, and the Company and the Fool are also involved. If the envoy of the Void you mentioned is indeed real, then the current situation in Pinocchio is... a bit too complicated."

"Dan Heng gently spun his wine glass, his brows lowered in thought."

"Actually, there's something else about Huang Quan that I'm concerned about," Poteo suddenly said.

"You know full well that the factions that believe in 'Hunting' are the most formidable group in the galaxy. No one in their right mind would dare to pretend to be a member of the Immortal Ship Alliance or the Sea Patrol Rangers. That's simply courting death."

"Don't the people of the Immortal Boat have a saying that the Imperial Bow can only use a light arrow to dispel the wheelchair—"

"What the hell is a wheelchair?" Confucius frowned fiercely.

He had a strong premonition that Potio had made a mistake in spelling!

I never expected that after San Yue Qi and Su Chang, a new illiterate person appeared!

(New illiterates have emerged, how can we stand still?)

You guys should go study!

…………

Dan Heng's brows twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "The imperial decree, announce the imperial decree."

"I really read the wrong word..." Xunzi didn't know what to say.

He could barely understand that he mistook the character "寰" (lun) for the wheel of a wheelchair.

How on earth did you mistake the character for "yin" (sound) for the character for wheelchair?!

Are these two words so similar?!

He also announced his wheelchair... If you listen faster, it will become "The Emperor's Bow actually displayed seven wheelchairs at the speed of light"!

How greedy must Emperor Gong Siming be to eat a wheelchair!

"How can I feel at peace when there are so many illiterate people in this world?"

He has wanted to write an article "Encouraging Learning" for a long time, and now it seems... it's urgent!

…………

"It doesn't matter, as long as you understand what I mean." Potio waved his hand, signaling Danheng not to quibble over trivial matters.

"In short, even though the Sea Patrol Ranger has been missing for so many years, his power remains. Many treasures would rather offend the Annihilation Gang than offend the Ranger."

"But Huang Quan... at least judging by what she did, she doesn't seem like a madman. On the contrary, she's very logical and methodical. She holds back when necessary, and she's ruthless when she needs to kill."
