Chapter 5: Heavenly Treasure
The scarlet red wine that had been poured into the cups were very tranquil, not a hint of a ripple to be seen The fragrance of the asn’t too strong, as though all the flavor had been tightly locked into that sparkling, translucent, blood-red, ruby like wine
The Wine Master’s hand didn’t tremble at all He filled all four cups to an exceptionally equal level, up to two fingernails height in each cup Just by looking at the cups, couldn’t tell the difference between any of the cups at all
Lan Jue stared at the wine, but the Gour at the enormous ham in front of him Both sets of eyes were mesmerized
Twenty candles were set up in orderly fashi+on, just slightly s tray The Gourht hand towards the wicks of the candles, and at the same instant, all twenty candles lit up at the sah, but they were very bright
Holding the serving tray by the edges, the Gourht level above the candle fla the heat of the candle flames to evenly heat up the tray
The Coffee Master said, “Isn’t that too much trouble? Why can’t you just use your own fire?”
The Gourmet didn’t even look at him as he spoke “That’s e say you have no taste If it weren’t for the fact that you are extremely lucky, there’s no way you would have the chance to drink this wine today, or eat a hay flames, but of a dry and explosive type Candle flaentle, soft, and evenly distributed The latter is what I need right now”
The Coffee Master said soumentatively, “Why is there no way? I don’t believe it! Wine Master, is he telling the truth?”
The Wine Master didn’t say a word He lifted up the long-ste, crystalline steht of the candles within it and stared at the scarlet red ithin
The Coffee Master next turned to look at Lan Jue “The Gourmet looks down on me! On what basis did he criticize lass as well His movements were allass, staring at the ruby color within
“He speaks the truth, and he has a very good reason The reason the Wine Master didn’t say anything was because he didn’t want to hurt you However, I can tell you the reason We’ll just treat it asup trouble earlier”
“Fine Tell me” The Coffee Master said in a dissatisfied way
Lan Jue laughed cal, you have to pay a price Give lass, and I’ll tell you the reason Otherwise, where’s the ‘revenge’ part?”
The Coffee Master said with so convincesthis Rolass”
Lan Jue put down his oineglass, then turned to look towards the Wine Master “You aren’t allowed to fight with me over it He askedearlier”
The Wine Master let out a sigh “For hilass of Romanée-Conti, in and of itself, is already a sufficient reason why he isn’t qualified to drink it”
Lan Jue sh to convince him, because he could alwaysexceeds his desire for delicacies”
Lan Jue raised the glass of water and took a sip before finally turning to look at the Coffee Master
“Actually, the reasoning is very sih you kno to appreciate wine very ourmet food very much, in the end, you are a Coffee Master”
The Coffee Master, somewhat bewildered, said, “How can this be considered a reason?”
Lan Jue said, “Of course this is a reason Coht I ask, how many cups of coffee do you drink every day?”
The Coffee Master said, “Three cups”
