Chapter 587: Success by Mistake
Lu Xingchen ate her lunch leisurely. At one o'clock in the afternoon, she received a notification: [Master Lingguang will summon you to her side. Teleport now 3, 2, 1...]
Lu Xingchen felt dizzy and returned to the previous island.
It was noon, and she could see lush green grass and blooming moonflowers, a truly beautiful sight.
Master Lingguang came out with a beaming smile: "You've arrived? Come on, let's go see the new wine that was brewed yesterday!"
Lu Xingchen keenly detected a pungent aroma.
She glanced into the warehouse and saw the wide-open door and a pile of grains on the table.
Hey, isn't that black pepper?
So much black pepper, not a single one missing, then... what did she grind up last night?
Lu Xingchen was startled and immediately went into the warehouse.
Indeed, it was all neatly arranged on the table. It was definitely black pepper, just like when I first saw it yesterday, not a single peppercorn missing. However, there were far fewer peppercorns in the box.
No way?
No way! No way!
Did she make a mistake yesterday?
Lu Xingchen walked to the warehouse, bent down and picked up a bead from yesterday. He smelled it and was surprised to find a faint fragrance.
Yesterday, her sense of smell suddenly malfunctioned, and she couldn't smell this odor at all.
It smells wonderful!
Lu Xingchen's expression changed from time to time.
The bad news is that she was confused yesterday and got the black pepper mixed up; the good news is that these beads seem to smell quite nice.
I just don't know if it's poisonous or not.
but……
She looked at Master Lingguang.
She was plagued by bad luck at that time, her sense of smell was impaired, and her mind was foggy. Could it be that Master Lingguang's nose and brain were also damaged?
She took the wrong thing, why didn't the master remind her?
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment, took a grain of black pepper, and then a bead, walked up to Master Lingguang, and asked, "Master, do you know which kind is black pepper?"
Master Lingguang turned around and looked at it carefully, then pointed accurately: "This is what I bought, of course I know it!"
Lu Xingchen handed over the beads: "Then... what about this one?"
Master Lingguang frowned: "This thing has a strange smell. I just grabbed it on a whim, and I don't know what it is."
ah?
Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment.
The smell is a bit strange?
It's not strange, is it? It smells quite nice!
She asked uncertainly, "Then... Master, do you think black pepper smells good?"
Master Lingguang nodded repeatedly: "The black pepper smells good, I like it!"
Lu Xingchen silently put away the black pepper and small beads.
She's starting to understand now.
Master Lingguang probably has a bad nose and an abnormal sense of smell, so the smells she perceives are different from others. Perhaps, in her sense, salt and pepper, chili peppers, five-spice powder, black pepper, and so on are all quite fragrant...
That's why she insisted on adding these things when making wine.
Lu Xingchen fell silent.
The master has a hidden ailment; it's best if she doesn't bring it up.
The two men arrived at the place where the wine jars were placed. Master Lingguang picked up the jars and placed them on the table, eager to try.
Lu Xingchen's heart moved. Her luck was pretty good now. Good times were coming.
Or should she come?
Lu Xingchen quickly said, "Master, let me do it!"
She removed the dirt from the jar, carefully removed the sealed seal, and opened the lid.
Immediately, a delicate fragrance wafted over.
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.
It smells good; this is a fine wine!
Master Lingguang frowned: "Oh no, it's useless again this time, what a pity!"
ah?
Lu Xingchen glanced at her, took out two wine glasses, poured two half-glasses of wine, and said to Master Lingguang, "Master, would you like to try some?"
Master Lingguang was somewhat resistant: "No, at least the wine I brewed before smelled alright, but this time even the smell is wrong, it definitely won't taste good, throw it away!"
Lu Xingchen had already picked up the cup, taken a small sip, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Delicious!
It tastes really good!
