Genshin Impact, the spear remains.

Looking at the pile of bartending ingredients in front of him, Bai Qiyun was at a loss for what to do.

Cocktail making is not the same as winemaking. The distilled spirits used as the base are prepared in advance; bartenders do not brew their own spirits on-site.

Bai Qiyun was aware that different materials could produce distilled spirits with different flavors.

For example, wine made from rice and wine made from sweet potatoes have different flavors, so the base used for mixing drinks must be carefully selected.

To be on the safe side, he picked out the least distinctive-smelling bottle from the several bottles of distilled spirits placed in front of him. This way, when he added the other ingredients later, he could reduce the clash between the flavor of the spirit and the flavor of the ingredients.

Moreover, if we exclude the influence of the alcohol itself, as Ying said, he can indeed imagine the taste of these ingredients mixed together to a certain extent, which can be considered an advantage.

"Choose this one! It smells like oranges!"

Unlike Bai Qiyun's steady approach, Paimon smelled several bottles of distilled spirits for a while and then picked out the one with the strongest flavor to use as the base spirit.

And judging from Ying's expression, it seems she wants to add some terrible-looking ingredients to the wine glass.

Perhaps because the pressure of not having to accumulate points was gone, the girl's actions became more in line with her own interests and less rational.

At the very least, Bai Qiyun wouldn't throw an entire fish scale into his wine glass.

Turning his head, the boy focused his attention on the various materials in front of him.

From his perspective, he dislikes drinking anything solid, so anything that can't be turned into a liquid is immediately ruled out.

When it comes to liquids, we can only start with fruits that are full of juice.

Based on this distinction, he successfully picked out several seemingly normal cocktail ingredients from the materials.

Berry, bulrush, Cecilia flower, and all sorts of other fruits.

Small rushes can be used for color mixing, while fallen berries and cecilia flowers can enhance the flavor of the drinks, and the remaining fruits can be used as the base flavor for the beverages.

Among these, oranges are the most suitable ingredient for the most basic flavor.

Hmm? Wait a minute, doesn't that mean I'm making the same choice as Ying?

Bai Qiyun paused while touching the orange peel, but then continued peeling it.

Forget it, deliberately making a distinction would be putting the cart before the horse.

As for the taste, oranges are different from lemons. Oranges are five parts sweet and five parts sour, while lemons are three parts sweet and seven parts sour. It is important to get the balance right.

However, because the alcohol itself is diluted to a certain extent, Bai Qiyunyun decided to juice some sweeter fruits and add them in, such as apples.

Apple juice is cloudy, while orange juice is clear. If they are added directly without any processing, it will undoubtedly ruin the overall taste of the drink.

Therefore, Bai Qiyun decided to use the small lamp grass to absorb elements, infusing the flavor of the apple into the juice of the small lamp grass.

The so-called element absorption is a common phenomenon in nature. Simply put, when an object with a low element concentration is near an object with a high element concentration, it will spontaneously migrate, just like the self-protection mechanism of an object with a high element concentration.

Therefore, when apple juice and bulrush juice are mixed together, the cloudy apple juice gradually transforms into a part of the bulrush juice under the influence of elemental forces.

The entire material is crystal clear, and it emits a faint blue light in the dark, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

Similarly, the sap of the small rush plant absorbed the orange juice on one side, causing it to lose its original color.

This is precisely the loss that must be borne when using small lamp grass; it will render other materials used for color mixing instantly ineffective, except for those of the same level.

Indeed, Bai Qiyun included the Fallenberry as part of the ingredients with this in mind. Only the Fallenberry, which is also a specialty of the element, can resist the assimilation of the Little Lamp Grass, thus displaying different colors in the wine.

But a problem arises: he can't just mix the two together and add them directly to the drink, otherwise it will turn into a strange color of pink and blue mixed together, which is not aesthetically pleasing at all.

Is there any way to fix the colors of the two colors so that they look distinct?

Bai Qiyun lowered his head and looked at the cup in his hand.

Suddenly, the ice cubes in the iced coffee cup he had just drunk caught his attention.

Yes, just freeze the two juices separately into ice cubes, and the colors will look completely different.

As for the base flavor, he can simply add a touch of orange juice to flavor the spirit and give it a color. As time goes by, the flavors of the two will combine as the ice melts, creating a completely new experience for the drink.

The more Bai Qiyun thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.

Even Diona couldn't help but sigh when she saw him like that. She wondered if she had led this guy down a new path, whether it was good or bad.

After a period of preparation, Bai Qiyun and Ying's creations were placed on the bar, attracting the attention of several drinkers nearby.

"Oh! So this is the famous wine made by the Knight of Honor? But the color... something seems a little off?"

Looking at the murky, purplish-brown wine in front of Ying, even Ning Lu, a seasoned drinker, dared not easily taste it.

He leaned closer and sniffed, and instantly, a fishy smell rushed into his nostrils, causing him to involuntarily take a few steps back.

"What... what exactly is this taste?"

"Hey, that's way too much!"

My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!

The opponent's retreating movement drew a sarcastic remark from Paimon.

The little guy puffed out his cheeks, looking quite unconvinced.

But when she turned her gaze back to the wine glass, the corner of her eye twitched involuntarily.

This thing... should be fine, right?

Unlike the hesitant looks of the others, Diona seemed quite interested in the item.

However, this doesn't mean that the drink was particularly delicious. Rather, she could tell from the first glance that this drink was absolutely the 'ultimate' drink she had ever dreamed of, capable of destroying the existence of Mondstadt Winery.

If she could make it herself, then half of her dream would be achieved.

Diona's throat bobbed slightly as she looked at the wine glass in front of the blonde girl.

"Hello!"

However, Paimon's shouts did not stop Diona's work. She skillfully divided the wine in Bai Qiyun's glass into several portions and reluctantly distributed them to the crowd that surrounded her.

Seeing that there was free wine, Ning Lu's eyes lit up, and he quickly came over and grabbed a glass.

The wine is clear in color, has a slight orange aroma, and a hint of crystalline blue, making it look quite appealing.

However, this is just a newcomer's setup, and compared to Diona, it's still somewhat...

The moment the drink touched his throat, Ning Lu's eyes widened instantly.

This...this is!

The gritty texture of the distilled spirit spreads in the mouth, followed by the aroma of oranges that fills the nasal cavity. As the two meet in the oral cavity, there are also subtle hints of berry and apple flavors mixed in.

The different flavors, yet remarkably unified, greatly astonished Ning Lu, a seasoned wine connoisseur.

He could hardly believe that this was a drink made by a beginner.

While not quite on par with Diona, it's already very close to the creations of the master blenders at Château de la Dawn.

"This...this is probably enough to conquer the Four Heavenly Kings of Wine."

Setting down his wine glass, Ning Lu praised it with heartfelt admiration.

Even after drinking this glass of wine, the lingering aroma still lingers in your mouth for a long time.

"The Four Heavenly Kings of Drinking? What are those?"

More than the already decided outcome of the match, Paimon was curious about the title Ninglu had mentioned.

Could he be some famous or important person?

"Don't overthink it, they're just four drunkards."

Even so, Diona looked somewhat conflicted, as if she didn't want to continue the conversation.

Instead of that, she picked up the drink Ying had prepared and took a small sip.

Instantly, a fishy smell spread through my mouth along my tongue.

But this didn't make Diona feel disgusted; on the contrary, she quite liked the taste.

But she also knew that this taste was not something a normal person could accept.

"I doubt everyone would agree that this tastes high, but in a way, it does suit my taste quite well, so I'd say it's barely passable."

Diona took the two qualification cards and assigned the points to them.

Bai Qiyun's wine, needless to say, received the highest score of 2,000 points from her. As for Ying's wine, it was too unconventional, so she only received 600 points, which was a consolation prize.

Although he was very curious about who the Four Heavenly Kings of Wine were that Ning Lu had mentioned, Paimon wisely kept quiet when he saw Diona's face gradually turning sour.

Only after the group left the tavern did Paimon breathe a sigh of relief and approach Ning Lu to ask about what had just happened.

"You mean that... Haha, since little Diona doesn't want to listen, I'll just give you a few hints."

In order to be able to come to Cat's Tail Tavern for drinks again in the future, Ning Lu did not dare to be too ostentatious and could only try to find out indirectly. The rest was up to Bai Qiyun and the others to find the right person.

"The four of them are 'the thick-skinned peddler,' 'the unemployed proprietress,' 'the hunter with the strange ears,' and 'the naive adventurer.' If you can actually find all of them, then you've already entered the circle of Mondstadt's drinking culture."

Ning Lu gave a few vague hints and then left with a smile.

Of course, this might also be because Miss Yuryu is looking for him.

However, such vague clues were simply insufficient for the group to deduce the identities of the Four Heavenly Kings of Wine.

However, among these four clues, Bai Qiyun astutely noticed one that was completely different from the other three in terms of identity.

"A hunter with strange ears... This clue is more of a physical clue than an identity clue."

Speaking of ears, Bai Qiyun thought of Diona. Of course, this hint certainly didn't refer to Diona herself, but it was definitely someone related to her.

Someone related to Diona by blood, and also a hunter...

"It's Mr. Drouet!"

"It's Mr. Drouet!"

The boy and girl shouted out the answer in unison and smiled at each other.

"Hmm... Mr. Duraf's words do fit the criteria, no wonder Diona didn't want to bring it up."

Even Paimon knew that Diona disliked people who drank. If her father were named one of the so-called "Four Kings of Drinkers" by a group of drinkers, she would probably be unhappy.

However, given the Mondstadt people's passion for alcohol, Diona couldn't say anything in front of the patrons, since she was just an employee and needed to be mindful of the boss's opinion.

But Bai Qiyun guessed that he must have talked about his father a lot when he went home in private. He remembered that when he went to Qingquan Town last time, he hardly saw Mr. Dulav drinking, and there was no smell of alcohol on his clothes.

It seems that every father is afraid of his little darling's nagging.

The group stood on a street corner and began to speculate about the remaining Heavenly Kings.

Suddenly, Bai Qiyun's gaze swept over the fountain in front of the Deer Hunter, where Miss Margaret was standing in front of Sarah, pondering what to eat for lunch.

"Speaking of a boss lady who doesn't work, Miss Margaret is definitely one, and she's the boss lady of Cat's Tail Tavern, so she must know a lot about fine wines."

The boy's guess made sense, and Ying nodded.

But thinking about it this way, the fact that two important people around Diona were actually members of the Four Heavenly Kings of Drinking was something she really couldn't accept.

"The remaining two are really clueless. Why don't we go ask somewhere else?"

The previously agreed-upon plan to enjoy the Wind Flower Festival had been completely forgotten by the group; satisfying Paimon and the other two's curiosity was the most important thing.

On an autumn afternoon, a group of people strolled through the streets of Mondstadt.

When it comes to places in Mondstadt related to alcohol, Angel's Gift is a must-visit.

During the Wind Flower Festival, it is a place that is never short of visitors.

As soon as they entered, the bartender in front of them startled them.

"Die... Diluc!"

Paimon, who was floating beside the two, exclaimed in surprise as he watched the red-haired man mixing drinks, attracting Diluc's attention.

"So it's the Knight of Honor and the young master. It's been a while since we last met."

After handing the wine to the waiter, Diluc exchanged pleasantries with the others.

However, his expression remained unchanged, showing little emotion.

The public may not know what happened in Ming Guan Gorge recently, but he knows it very well.

In just two months, the two men's strength had improved so significantly that he could sense that they had probably grown to a level where they could be completely compared to him.

This astonishing rate of growth is truly baffling.

"Gentlemen, what brings you to the tavern today? If it's just for drinking, please forgive us for not being able to serve alcoholic beverages to honorary knights, otherwise we would be fined by the knightly order."

Bai Qiyun wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like someone clicked their tongue in the tavern after Diluc finished speaking.

But the noise around him was too loud, so he didn't pay any attention.

"Lord Diluc, have you heard of the Four Kings of Drinking?"

It's unclear when it started, but Paimon always adds "Master" to his address for Diluc, just like the other Mondstadt residents do.
