“Is she famous?” Bai Xiao snorted disdainfully.

Zhang Rong looked at him resentfully. “You really don’t care about what’s going on outside. Why do you think 1943 became famous? It’s because of this Fox! The alcohol that Fox personally brewed is hard to come by! When 1943 first opened, the first three days were filled with arena matches. All the bartenders gathered together and randomly selected a guest to let him say the taste he wanted. The bartender would make it. Fox became famous because of those three days. She won 620 rounds and never lost!”

“Is it possible that all 620 of them were hired by Fox?” Bai Xiao had never believed such rumors. There were really all kinds of methods to create momentum.

He reached for the glass of alcohol and examined the liquid inside.

The alcohol was layered and gradually changed. The dark brown liquid was at the bottom, and it became lighter and lighter. The top layer of the alcohol was light brown, and edible glitter powder was added. As the alcohol swayed, it shone with a faint light.

The color of the entire glass of alcohol was very beautiful. There were even mint olives adorning the side. Even if he did not drink it, just looking at it made her feel that it was a work of art.

“On the first day of the competition, someone also raised the same doubts. In the end, 1943 stopped choosing people in the shop the next day. They asked every bar to send people to the streets to ask passersby and bring them to the bar to taste, but there were still people who said that it was fake. In the end, on the third day, they surrounded the bartender with a curtain, not letting anyone know who was mixing the drinks. They changed seats every time. Even so, that Fox still firmly beat all the bartenders in the capital. From then on, 1943 became famous and the number one bar!”

Zhang Rong happily told Bai Xiao the story. Then, he picked up his portion of alcohol and took a sip happily. “This is a alcohol that can’t be bought with money. I want to drink it bit by bit.”

“You just said that 1943 and Fox became famous because of this matter. Then why did Fox’s alcohol become so difficult to obtain?” Bai Xiao suddenly asked.

As a businessman, he naturally knew that he had to control the amount that flowed into the market. However, if an outstanding product did not appear for a long time, it would lose its value in the end.

“After Fox became famous, 1943 released the news that Fox would only come once a week and only mix a glass of alcohol for a fated person. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction, but there would always be lucky people who received the alcohol. Moreover, there would be a VIP card for the entire year of drinks from 1943. This card could allow Fox to make a glass of alcohol every month. Therefore, many people came to try their luck. Fox and 1934’s reputation spread just like that. Fox’s alcohol was also known as something that could only be chanced upon by luck.” Zhang Rong shook his head and explained. He took another sip of alcohol and smacked his lips.

“Try it. Previously, there were rumors that Fox’s alcohol could treat people without taste buds!”

His friends all knew that Bai Xiao did not have a sense of taste. He was not born with it. When Bai Xiao was young, he fell seriously ill and fell into a coma for a week. When he woke up again, he did not have a sense of taste.

Little Bai Xiao had cried before. His family had also brought him to seek medical treatment, but in the end, he could not treat this illness.

As he grew older, he gradually accepted this fact. Food was no longer something to enjoy. To him, it was more about survival.

When Bai Xiao heard his words, he smiled mockingly and took a sip of alcohol.

The next second, he was stunned.

The rich sweetness of the berries instantly exploded on his taste buds, followed by the sour taste of the lemon.

As the alcohol was swallowed, there was a trace of bitterness from the coffee at the base of his tongue, but it was quickly covered by the rich fragrance of the alcohol, bringing with it the spicy taste of the baijiu.

In just a few seconds, he had tasted all the sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy elements. His expression froze and he swallowed his saliva in disbelief.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Rong also became nervous.

Could the rumors be true?

“How is it? Did you taste it?” Zhang Rong finally could not help but ask when he saw that Bai Xiao did not move for a long time.

Bai Xiao put down the remaining half of the glass of alcohol, pinched an apple from the fruit plate, and stuffed it into his mouth.

It was a little sweet, but he soon couldn’t taste it.

Bai Xiao took another sip of alcohol. As soon as he swallowed the alcohol, he stuffed another piece of cantaloupe into his mouth.

This time, he really tasted the clear sweetness of the fruit. However, as the fragrance of the alcohol disappeared from his mouth, his taste buds also disappeared.

“Go and invite that bartender over!” Bai Xiao stood up and asked the waiter to invite Fox over.

The waiter returned quickly with a reply, “I’m sorry, sir. Fox has left. She won’t be coming back this week.”

At this moment, Hu Ke had returned to the fourth floor of 1943. It was Wen Huai’s house. It was a large flat and had a guest room specially reserved for Hu Ke during the renovation.

Hu Ke changed into her pajamas and lay on the soft bed.

She was really too tired and soon fell asleep.
