Chapter 191

A small bottle of strong liquor costs ten gold coins, moreover Kuangsha City here has no strong liquor for sale.

Xiang Sa and the other adult beasts, when they submitted to Mo Lie, did so straightforwardly, so they were allowed to keep their own private property; a few gold coins were still affordable for them.

They immediately placed the order: sixty-three beasts, sixty-three meal sets.

……

Lin Manzhi used to occasionally cook for herself, but since coming here she rarely cooks; however, not cooking often doesn't mean she can't cook.

She made the pickled cherry radishes for Mountain Sea Tavern; last night she prepared some in advance at home, without vinegar, she planted one like a grape in the space, and in the Wan Ri Ling Tian before long she harvested a big basket of fresh lemons; the lemon trees, as before, were first planted in Planting Greenhouse No. 1.

When the order came in, she had someone fetch what she had made herself the previous day.

Here they checked that the cooking ingredients were all present, watching five people bring the washed cherry radishes to the prep table, separating the radish roots from the leaves, knowing the radish roots and leaves are also edible, an idea formed in their mind.

Wash the green radish leaves clean, boil a pot of water, put the radish leaves in the boiling water to blanch until familiar, fish them out and squeeze dry, then cut into a small section, sprinkle salt and pour a spoonful of hot oil, mix evenly with long chopsticks.

Using the oil rendered from the exotic beast fat that Lin Manzhi brought over, poured onto the radish leaves, the vegetables glistened with oil, looking bright and fresh; the fragrance of the vegetables and meat combined perfectly, absolutely superb.

Cherry radishes are even simpler; the main test is the knife skill of continuously slicing whole ones, which in the hands of strong beasts is comparable to a veteran chef with ten years of knife practice.

Lin Manzhi waited for them to cut out a plate of cherry radishes, then she sprinkled salt in the bowl to draw out the moisture from the radishes, poured it out, then added sliced, seeded lemon pieces, honey, and likewise poured a spoonful of hot oil.

After half an hour, the bright cherry radishes and yellow lemons were taken out and arranged on a porcelain plate, then a chopstickful of cold-mixed green radish leaves was added.

This way of eating brightly colored, fragrant vegetables had never been seen in the Beast World; the beast servers bringing the dishes, looking at this beautiful plate of food, swallowed their saliva and carried it out to serve the guests outside.

Because Mo Lie was present, a row of high tables was left empty in the middle, while Xiang Sa and a large crowd squeezed opposite, until they smelled the tempting aroma, which stirred their appetites and overshadowed the fear in their minds.

The cherry radishes eaten yesterday, crisp, tender and refreshingly sweet when eaten raw, their aroma perfectly suited Xiang Sa's appetite; now they looked forward even more to tasting the deliciousness finally presented by Lord Lin's hands.

The beast servers wearing linen aprons, somewhat enviously, put down their trays and served the dishes one by one.

Xiang Sa's eyes could not look away, and everyone's expressions were much the same.

The vessel for holding the agave beer was a glass cup, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, filled with pale amber liquor, a fine layer of white foam on the surface; with their excellent eyesight they could see extremely tiny bubbles slowly rising from the bottom.

A plant fragrance that intoxicates as soon as it reaches the nose fills the air, and everyone, unable to wait, lifts their palm‑sized crystal cups, tilts their heads, and drinks.

First comes the fresh scent of grapes, then the distinctive herbal flavor of Agave sweeps through the mouth; everyone gulps it down in one breath, and all are left stunned.

Xiang Sa, incredulous, taps their own head; their head feels a little dizzy, yet an endless courage rises in their heart, making them feel filled with power at that moment…

More noticeable than drinking a faux‑female elixir, their Spirit Core seems gently brushed, as if seized by female Pheromone, dispelling an indescribable unease, and Xiang Sa feels a Beast Transformation; their Beast Form swells, creating the strongest illusion of their own supremacy.

Fortunately, a 300‑ml glass of Agave beer is not enough to make all the male beasts fall drunk; at most they feel a bit light‑headed, yet they remain rational.

Mo Lie, who had been silently sitting in a corner, raises an eyebrow.

Regarding the energy concealed in the Agave beer, he is, of course, the most aware.

The dosage per cup is something he has tested and determined.

Thinking of that night drinking Agave wine with the Little Female under the night sky, Mo Lie's blue eyes darken; the rich, intoxicating aroma in the air cannot distract him as much as the Little Female does.

While Xiang Sa and the others are immersed in the delicacy, Mo Lie rises from his seat; he silently walks toward the back kitchen, his figure disappearing behind a hanging flax‑colored curtain.

Everyone came to the Shanhai Tavern to leisurely sip Agave beer, savor it, and eat the cherry radish, intending to relax for an afternoon.

As a result, all the male beasts were dealt with within a minute; they hadn't even finished eating, but everyone knows whose territory this is, and, licking their lips with a blissful expression, they left together.

The next batch of Planting Base male beasts waiting at the Shanhai doorway to enter the shop saw the previous group emerge, realized the shop was empty and seats were available, and hurried toward the entrance.

Monkey Meng, who came from Xing Yuan City, passed by and, smelling the rich fragrance drifting through the space, stopped in surprise.

He almost pushed into the crowd as soon as he smelled the scent, paid to order, and sat waiting for the Agave beer and cherry radish so dazzling that his complexion pales to be served.

Monkey Meng took a sip of Agave beer; the aroma was entirely different, the mouthfeel also unlike before, yet he felt the familiar, soothing comfort of his Spirit Core.

Having drunk the strong brew before, he knows it all too clearly.

This so‑called Agave beer differs from the sweet, fruity strong brew; its flavor carries a slightly bitter, stimulating caramel note, yet lets one feel the power of a Spirit explosion.

He then picks up the pickled cherry radish; its flavor is extremely rich—crisp, sweet, sour, salty, and refreshing. After the Agave beer lingers in his mouth, eating this brightly colored fruit feels so comfortable it lifts his soul.

The more he eats, the more he wants to; the sourness stimulates Monkey Meng's stomach, sending a strong hunger signal, so he takes a few hearty swigs of Agave beer; the taste… refreshing! Too refreshing!

When Monkey Meng reaches out again, he finds the cup empty and the plate empty, and he suddenly snaps out of his reverie.

Wait…

Agave beer that's even better than the strong brew!! This is in Kuangsha City, not in Xing Yuan City!

Regarding the changes in Kuangsha City, he was sent by the lord to inquire about the news there, but before he could even start his investigation, he happened to discover a huge event that day!

No, I must quickly take this news back and tell Lord Yin Xuan!

Monkey Meng, his face almost snarling, slowly takes a deep breath, stands up, walks back to the counter, slams a sack of gold coins onto it: "Agave beer and cherry radish, give me another fifty servings."

"Hahahahaha…" In the room that had only the sounds of eating and drinking moments ago, a burst of loud laughter erupted.

"Hahaha…"

Monkey Meng's temple veins bulge: "??"

Laughing at me? Want to die!

He is enraged, whirls around, releases the oppressive aura from his body, his gaze sweeping over everyone who dared to mock him with a threatening stare:
