Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 722 Cocktail: The Fall of the Golden Crow!
"certainly not!"

You actually said that the emotion of cocktail making is just a rhetoric?

How could Ji Dong bear this?
"Well, to prove the big plan I painted for you before, oh no, to prove the direction I pointed out for you, how about we have a cocktail-making competition?" Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"You just said that you were making empty promises for me?" Ji Dong was stunned.

"You heard wrong."

Zhou Qing said seriously.

"You definitely said it!"

Ji Dong laughed angrily.

"No, you definitely heard it wrong." Zhou Qing denied it firmly.

"never mind."

Ji Dong didn't care. He picked up the fruit wine Zhou Qing gave him, tasted it a little, and raised his eyebrows. "This is clearly fruit juice, right?"

"No, it's fruit wine. It contains alcohol, so it's wine. You can't say it's not wine just because the alcohol content of this fruit wine is low!" Zhou Qing said righteously.

Ji Dong was speechless.

However, as a wine god, he did taste a hint of alcohol, and did not refute, but just asked: "You can also mix cocktails?"

Could it be that this is a colleague?

"No, but I can learn from you during the competition." Zhou Qing said.

“······This is the first time I see someone taking stealing skills for granted.” Ji Dong was even more speechless, but he didn’t care.

After all, when a bartender is mixing cocktails, his movements are to be shown to the guests, and no one can learn it at once. The key lies in the bartender's own control of the strength of the cocktail, and the perception of the sound and rhythm of the mixing of different liquors when shaking.

"Well, I accept the challenge."

When it comes to cocktail making, Ji Dong is extremely confident. If he says he is second to none, no one dares to say he is first.

Afterwards, he tasted the various spices, fruits, and monster blood that Zhou Qing had given him. After understanding the taste, he had some ideas and asked, "There are rum, Irish liquor, vodka..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Qing interrupted him and complained, "I've already said that I don't like drinking and don't understand these things. Besides, are there really wines with Earth names on the Five Elements Continent?"

Ji Dong's eyelids twitched.

"I have."

Lieyang waved slightly towards the magma lake at the center of the earth. A circle of red light shield emerged, and bottles of various kinds of wine and beverages were delivered to Ji Dong.

Having been to the human world, Lieyan has naturally collected a lot of human wine.

"awesome!"

Ji Dong was pleasantly surprised. Just by opening the lid and smelling it, he knew what kind of liquor was in it: brandy, whiskey, gin, tequila, etc.

"Can we show it now?" Lieyan said, "I'll be the judge."

"You are indeed an unqualified queen."

Zhou Qing complained and tasted the wines one by one, then -

"cough!"

Drink a glass and cough.

"I don't like any of them." "So you can't drink." Ji Dong smiled slightly, feeling that he was sure to win.

"That's not necessarily true. Although I can't drink, I can probably taste the different flavors of these wines. And for those who like to drink these, I can probably understand their general taste range." After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he saw Ji Dong's eyes become serious, and stretched out his hand and said, "You go first, please--"

Ji Dong nodded, walked forward, and selected vodka, gin, white tequila, mint liqueur, Cointreau, and also chose the lemon-flavored fruit, sugar, and lightly sweet fruit wine that Zhou Qing brought out.

He asked Lieyan for different cups, poured the selected drinks and ingredients into them respectively, classified them, and then poured them into the cocktail glass he carried with him.

As a bartender, if conditions permit, Ji Dong would at least bring a cocktail glass with him even if he didn't bring anything else.

Then, Ji Dong began to demonstrate his cocktail mixing skills.

Ji Dong shook the cocktail glass continuously and used his magic power to further blend the different drinks in it.

He even threw the wine glass into the air while spinning it. In this hot area, the silvery-white wine was stained with a layer of red halo.

While mixing the cocktails, Ji Dong was also taking advantage of the hot environment of the inner world!

“Very thoughtful.”

Zhou Qing was delighted.

After all, this performance proves that Ji Dong is not rigid and has the flavor of "adapting to local conditions", and -

When the red-hot cocktail glass fell on Ji Dong's hand, it burned his palm directly, producing a wisp of white smoke, but he just twitched his face instinctively and continued to spin the cocktail glass.

The determination in his eyes even surprised Lieyan.

Just like that, at the moment when his magic power was exhausted, the cocktail glass was thrown nine times, as if nine suns rose in this space, but they were all shot down by Ji Dong's arm that stretched out like an arrow.

This is one of Ji Dong's cocktail making techniques:

Yi shot down nine suns.

For a normal person, to complete such a technique, good physical strength and control of strength are required, and eyesight and hearing must be good, otherwise it will be impossible to catch the thrown cocktail glass.

Ji Dong is young, but he has embarked on the path of cultivation and possesses magic power. Although the level is very low, it is enough to barely make up for his lack of physical strength.

"Alright! This is the best wine I can make so far! Fall of the Sun revamped: Fall of the Golden Crow!"

As the lid on the cocktail glass was opened, a rich aroma wafted into the air, mixed with a hint of sourness.

In the glass, the wine was orange, and inside the transparent and clear liquid, nine light red halos appeared and kept falling down.

The Fall of the Golden Crow

It is quite appropriate.

"please!"

Ji Dong blew on his burned palm, letting the flames taste it.

Lieyan picked up the wine glass, put it to his lips, took a sip, and then drank it all. After a long while, he came to his senses and said, "It's true. You really put your emotions into the wine. I seem to be able to feel a person's persistence, but when I savor it carefully, it carries a hint of sadness."

"This is also my attempt to integrate magic into wine. After all, to truly integrate emotions into wine, one can only rely on magic that is closely related to oneself."

Ji Dong finished speaking and introduced the recipe of Golden Crow's Fall. "This drink is mainly made of 30% vodka, 20% gin, 10% white tequila, 20% mint liqueur, 10% Cointreau orange liqueur, and 10% fruit wine. The lemon-like fruit provided by Zhou Qing is very sour and adds a bitter taste, but I added fine sugar to make up for the bitterness.

However, the most important thing is the fruit wine provided by Zhou Qing. Its light sweetness makes the taste better.

And the emotions I integrate into are my entire life in my previous life!
In my previous life, I was a wine god. In that circle, I was the center of attention, just like a golden crow shining on the world or nine suns across the sky. But in the end, I fell because of my persistence in tasting the wine cream. I was sad that I could not make that wine again, and I was also sad that I might not be able to make that wine in this life..."
