"Boss, my name is Zhang Mu. I haven't asked for your name yet. It's not nice to keep calling a woman like you boss."
Zhang Mu smiled and looked at the bright and beautiful woman, waiting for her answer.
The woman did not seem to be close to Zhang Mu because of his kind words, nor did she seem to be distant because she thought he was a playboy. She smiled quietly as before, and her voice was still gentle and beautiful.
"Brother Zhang Mu? Although I had a name before, it's all in the past. I thought since I have to change, I might as well change it to the end, so I found a new name for myself. Guests can just call me Gesang."
Gesang? The female evolutionist from the plant department who could cultivate the most primitive Gesang flower?
Zhang Mu's hand holding the wine bowl shook unconsciously, and he looked at the woman with a strange look.
She just thought that Zhang Mu thought the name was a little weird. She smiled very naturally, as if she was born with a kind of affinity, just like a blooming flower, warming the entire tavern.
"Ge Sang, in Tibet, it means happiness. In Inner Mongolia, it means something slightly different. It is known as the flower of prosperity. I think both are true.
I once had the opportunity to stay alone in a sea of ​​​​Ge Sang flowers all over the mountains. I felt completely relaxed, free from any constraints, and back to a world that truly belonged to me.
I was not used to the concrete city, but when the end of the world came, I found the peace again, so I named myself Gesang and enjoyed the beauty of this moment. "
Gesang's voice suddenly stopped, interrupting Yuan Rui's longing for the scene she had just described. She smiled and said, "I don't know what happened today, but I saw that you were particularly congenial to the guests. I said so much. I'm really sorry."
Zhang Mu calmed down by drinking. Through what he had just said, he confirmed again that it was really that Gesang, it was really her.
As for why Gesang was so friendly to Zhang Mu, it was not a coincidence. It was just that the origin of wood was lying quietly in Zhang Mu's left arm, which naturally had a natural attraction to a plant-type evolver like her.
"Then I will call you Boss Gesang. Boss Gesang, you haven't explained to Zhang Mu why this wine is so intoxicating? Your buddy said he brewed it himself. I've never had anything like this before, even when I drank strong liquor with a high strength."
As Zhang Mu spoke, he drank another bowl of wine.
In fact, he had already guessed it. It was probably that Gesang could cultivate mutant plants by himself to make wine, otherwise it would be impossible for such a liquor with a higher alcohol content than all previous liquors to be able to knock down the second-level Hachimu so easily.
"This is a trade secret."
Gesang suddenly became playful again, and looked at Zhang Mu with clear eyes, which was very different from the eyes of other men who came to her place to drink. There was no greed, no fear. In the entire Ordos capital, perhaps only the sub-city lord Su Rui could do this, but he still couldn't compare with Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu really had no idea about this woman, not because Yuan Rui was present, but it was not difficult to see from later events that this woman was very extreme in her actions. A superficial friendship would be best, but her identity as a second-level plant-type evolver could be used.
"But you, my guest, are the one with the best drinking capacity since Gesang's tavern opened. Even the city lord of Hachimu can drink. Five bowls of my wine is his limit. Generally, one bowl is enough for a first-level evolver, and three bowls can basically knock down a second-level evolver.
I have great respect for the guest's alcohol tolerance, which can be described as a huge amount."
There was a strong sense of self-confidence in Gesang's words. At the same time, she showed great curiosity towards Zhang Mu who was still putting bowl after bowl of wine into his mouth. She was curious why the man in front of her was not drunk yet and drank the wine she brewed as if it were plain water.
"Maybe it's because I can drink a lot since I was a kid, plus my strength is only at level two?"
Zhang Mu smiled and kept silent. He couldn't say that he had such a high alcohol tolerance because there was a drunkard in his body. If he tried to force it, he would probably be no better than Ha Chimu and would fall down directly.
The wine tasted sweet but was too strong. As soon as one drank it, the drunkenness spread throughout the body. However, since Zhang Mu had no worries, he drank to his heart's content and only focused on tasting the taste of the wine. As for the drunkenness, it was not his responsibility and there were naturally people who were willing to deal with it.
Zhang Mu and his table were the only guests left in the tavern. Zhang Mu felt that he had drunk enough, so he took out an Epoch Card and placed it on the table. He looked at Gesang who was waiting on the side and said, "Boss Gesang, let's pay the bill."
When Gesang heard that Zhang Mu was going to pay, his smile became even more beautiful. He glanced at the wine jars scattered on the table and immediately calculated the amount.
After giving the correct price, he said, "Thank you for your patronage. The total is ten jars of wine and ten Yuan crystals."
"One Yuan Crystal for one jar of wine? Boss Gesang, your price is quite affordable. One jar of wine can hold five bowls of wine, which means one bowl of wine only costs 0.2 Yuan Crystals. No wonder your business is so good. However, the price is so low. I am curious how you make money, Boss Gesang?"
"In this world, there is no one to collect rent. If I hire Xiao Li, I just need to provide him with food and accommodation. Besides, the raw materials are not worth much money, so they don't need to be too expensive. Only when everyone can afford it can we attract a large number of customers. How many people have enough money? If I raise the price and no one comes, then I will really lose money."
Gesang suddenly chuckled, with a cunning look of a little girl, and looked at Hachimu who was leaning on the table and said, "Besides, drinking is not expensive, but accommodation is not cheap. Most people know their drinking capacity and leave before they get drunk.
But today, Lord Hachimu didn't seem to notice this, so you have to pay for staying at my inn. The prices at other inns are even higher than my place, so where else can you stay if not here?"
Zhang Mu burst out laughing. This reason really did seem quite righteous.
"Brother Hachimu probably can't walk anymore, so let's listen to Boss Gesang and stay for one night. Is it in the backyard of the tavern? I'll move him."
Zhang Mu looked at Hachimu who was snoring loudly, and thought that he would not be able to leave today, so he said helplessly.
"Don't bother the guests with this matter. I can handle it."
"You come? He's very heavy."
Zhang Mu looked a little suspicious. Ha Chimu's body weight with dense muscles must be at least 300 kilograms. The weak woman in front of him actually said she would come.
Gesang smiled and did not respond to Zhang Mu's words. He just lightly tapped the ground with one of his jade fingers, and then slowly opened the remaining fingers from a clenched fist, like a flower blooming.
Soon after, a thick vine suddenly stretched out from the soft ground of the tavern, wrapped up Hachimu and his giant axe, and slowly extended towards the backyard.
No wonder he was so confident. There was actually a second-level mutant plant growing right below the tavern. Not to mention the 300-jin Hachimu, even Zhang Feng weighing one ton could be rolled up by this plant and carried into the guest room.
