Ander glanced at the drink Nan Xiangwan handed him and quickly took it, but his face showed a somewhat troubled expression.
"Is this drinkable?" he asked.
Everyone around burst into laughter, because An's expression was so funny that it was impossible not to laugh.
“Why can’t we drink it? This is a fruit wine beverage that we specially made!” Ander said.
Zhan Siyu nodded and said, "That's right, we plan to take these special fruit wine drinks to the Ye family banquet tomorrow. You can try them now!"
Since everyone around him had said so, Ander quickly picked up his wine glass.
Seeing his troubled expression, Nan Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh.
"What's wrong? Did you think I would poison your drink?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
Ander quickly shook his head. Of course, that's not what he thought. But there really is no concept of food on Rose Star. They usually eat nutrient solutions, although there are various flavors of nutrient solutions, such as rose flavor, or the flavor of air and clouds.
However, for hundreds of years, Rose Star has had no fondness for blue food or anything blue.
"Miss Nan, you must be unaware of this, right?"
"Blue is the most disliked color among Rose Stars!"
When Ander said those words, everyone around him was stunned.
"Huh? How come I've never heard of such a thing before?" Nan Haochen was very puzzled.
Nangong Chen also frowned. They had never heard of such a special situation on Rose Star. All the fruit wines they had prepared were blue, and they thought the color was quite nice.
"Ander, explain the situation to me first. Why do you say blue is the ugliest color?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
Ander put down his glass of wine and slowly began to tell them some of the history of Rose Star.
"Actually, it wasn't a big deal. It was just about 150 years ago when interstellar monsters almost conquered our planet!"
"At that time, blue rain fell from the sky for more than a year, and this blue rain contained trace amounts of toxins!"
"At the time, the military suspected that the interstellar monsters had mastered some kind of technology and wanted to kill most of the people on Rose Star through blue rain so that they could invade the planet without restraint!"
"From that time on, blue became the most hated color!"
After Ander finished recounting this history, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu suddenly realized why Ander would say such a thing.
They hadn't known about this before, because in their eyes, blue was indeed a pretty color, so they made the fruit wine drink that color.
Fortunately, Ander came to Xingfu Community today, otherwise the scene tomorrow would have been quite unpleasant.
Ouyang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily, Ander told us about the situation in advance!"
"Sister, brother-in-law, what about our fruit wine and drinks?"
"We can't just throw the drinks away, can we? Maybe we should leave them in the neighborhood? It's a shame we can't deliver our fruit wine to the Ye family so they can taste it, but there's nothing we can do about it..."
Ouyang Qian let out a breath. He had learned how to mix fruit wine drinks before, so most of the wine and juice here were pre-mixed according to the proportions.
The original plan was to have the Ye family try these special fruit wine drinks tomorrow, to see their surprised expressions and hear their opinions on them.
If the feedback is good, Ouyang Qian plans to open a small, three-story coffee shop in the future.
The coffee shop sells coffee, various desserts, and this fruit wine drink.
This was the day Ouyang Qian had always dreamed of. He wanted to realize this dream on Rose Star, but he didn't expect to encounter such an obstacle at the very first step.
Nan Haochen patted Ouyang Qian on the shoulder; of course he knew his wife had this dream.
"Qianqian, these fruit wine drinks weren't originally blue. Don't be discouraged. Edible coloring was added just to make them look nicer."
"From now on, just don't add coloring to your fruit wine drinks, okay?"
"It would be a shame for the Ye family to miss out on these drinks tomorrow, and I definitely support you!"
Without saying a word, Nan Haochen directly stated his position: he would definitely support his wife.
Ouyang Qian laughed. Although these fruit wines and drinks couldn't be brought to the Ye family's banquet because of their color.
However, it's fine to leave these fruit wines and drinks in the Happiness Community.
When the time comes, we'll prepare one or two bottles and deliver them to every household in the community. Everyone will be very happy.
People around them also felt it was a pity and questioned the nature of the matter.
However, Zhan Siyu and Nan Xiangwan's expressions were clearly not right, because when Ouyang Qian was adjusting the fruit wine drinks, she originally wanted to make them rose-colored and put some rose petals in each bottle as a garnish.
It was because of someone's suggestion in the Happiness Community that the drink was made blue; it wasn't an accident!
Zhan Siyu glanced at Nan Xiangwan; both of their expressions were very strange.
"Ander, are you sure the Ye family also has this taboo?" Nan Xiangwan asked.
When Ander saw Nan Xiangwan's expression, his heart sank. He was telling the truth; there was absolutely no need for him to lie to Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu about something like this.
“Miss Nan, I’m telling the truth. Of course, I’m not saying that the fruit wine drinks you’ve mixed are bad…” Ander quickly explained.
Nan Xiangwan quickly laughed. Of course, he didn't doubt Ander, but there were some things he needed to clarify.
"Why don't you rest here for a while? We'll have a small barbecue later to prepare for the Ye family banquet tomorrow!"
"I have things to do with A-Zhan, so we can't chat with you anymore!"
After saying this, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu left together. The people around them were obviously puzzled. Bai Yuan and Leng Fantian exchanged uneasy glances and then left as well.
Nangong Chen observed from the sidelines. He rarely participated in the conversation, but rather focused on observing the expressions on everyone's faces.
He certainly sensed something was wrong; it seemed something must have happened to Nan Xiangwan.
"Miss Ouyang, please entertain Ander!" Nangong Chen said.
Nan Haochen was completely bewildered when he saw that everyone had left. Ouyang Qian understood that Nan Haochen wanted to go and check on them, so she quickly gave him a push.
