Mag was indeed shocked.
This glass of wine was perfect, be it the fragrance or color.
The elegant and fine grape fragrance, the rich aged wood aroma, and the clear golden liquid all showed the quality of this glass of wine.
On the Norland Continent, other than Hannah’s rum, this was the second wine that shocked Mag.
It had the fragrance of brandy. It was pure enough, and had been fermented underground for long enough. Additionally, it was worlds apart from the one that Eiffie gave him just now.
Mag took a sip of the wine.
The liquid slipped into his mouth gradually. It had a very soft texture, and was sweet and cold.
Mag closed his eyes and indulged in the joyful experience of tasting the wine.
After a very long time, Mag opened his eyes. The fragrance lingered. It was a very elegant, comfortable, and enjoyable experience.
Mag looked at Eiffie, and said sincerely, “This is an incredible wine. The taste is mild, and it is sweet and cold. The fragrance is very enticing, and it lingers in your mouth after drinking it. Very enchanting.”
Eiffie finally smiled. She lifted her chin slightly, and said proudly, “This is Titan Liquor.”
“So is the wine that I drank just now fake?” Mag glanced at the wine bottle at the side.
Eiffie froze.
“That’s the wine our young mistress made! How could it be fake wine?” the servant maid at the side interrupted.
“This?” Mag looked at the wine bottle Eiffie was holding in her arms.
“This is the wine my father brewed more than 30 years ago,” Eiffie said calmly.
Mag glanced at Eiffie and fell silent for a while. After that, he consoled, “It’s alright. Not everyone could take over their father’s business.”
Eiffie raised her beautiful brows, and actually felt like blowing her top.
“Miss Eiffie, please do not misunderstand me. What I mean is, sometimes, talent is predestined. If something is not suitable for us, we can give it up,” Mag explained.
“Hm?” Eiffie started shaking.
“Don’t understand? It’s like this bottle of wine. Even though it’s almost your age, you’re still unable to come up with a brew half as good as this,” Mag continued.
“Go on! Go on!” Eiffie’s brows were almost about to stand on their ends.
“Go on?” Mag looked at her innocently.
Eiffie took in a deep breath and calmed herself down before she forced out a smile, and said, “Your little mouth is as sweet as honey.”
“Very few people praise me like that,” Mag said sincerely.
The corner of Eiffie’s mouth twitched. If it were not for her years of experience in the tavern that made her extra good-tempered, she would have stormed off.
“This is a bottle of good wine. If Miss Eiffie were to attend the liquor tasting event with this bottle of wine, I think you could win with rather good standing,” Mag said as he pointed to the bottle of wine in Eiffie’s arms.
Besides, the quality of this bottle of wine should be able to make Titan Tavern’s business boom or even bring it out of Romo Street.
“Yes, this bottle of wine won the top prize in the first liquor tasting event 28 years ago.” Eiffie nodded.
“In that case…”
“15 years ago, my parents died in a robbery case. The perpetrator came to the tavern after we were closed for the day, killed them, and took all the money. From that day on, no one could brew the authentic Titan Liquor anymore.” Eiffie’s eyes reddened, but she was still as calm.
Mag fell silent.
He saw the change in Eiffie’s gaze.
Usually, those with both parents who passed away would have most probably taken the script for a protagonist.
Awoman like Eiffie probably took the harem politics script of an imperial concubine in the palace.
Of course, Mag was still deeply sympathetic towards Eiffie’s experiences.
“Apologies, I’m sorry for my rash words just now,” Mag said.
“It’s alright. What you said is true.” Eiffie shook her head. She smiled, and said, “It’s just like what you said, the wine I brewed can’t even be compared to the one my father brewed. It would even sully his name.”
Mag fell silent again. That was not wrong at all.
“Young Mistress just didn’t want Titan Liquor to cease to exist. Do you know how much effort she had put in all these years? Before Madam and Master passed away, she had never brewed wine before,” the little maid said with her face red with fury.
“Mala, cut it out.” Eiffie shook her head at the little maid.
Mag could not help but ask, “So… you are just doing it without knowing how?”
Amaiden, who had no experience in brewing wine and had lost her father since she was young, had to take up an entire tavern. On top of that, she even made the business boom, and that did sound like an encouraging story.
However, throwing out the disguise of being inspirational, wasn’t all this nonsense?
‘Wine-brewing was not like cooking. One could not throw everything into a pot and still whip out a dish. If the steps were wrong, wine could not be made, and even storing the wine was knowledge on its own.
“T’m not doing it without knowing how!” Eiffie’s face reddened and her chest shook as she said agitatedly, “My father left me a wine-brewing manual with a record of all the wines that he brewed. I learned from that manual!”
“Just that?” Mag frowned. “You didn’t learn the essence of it.”
“L.. I’m still learning,” Eiffie emphasized.
“Your learning period isn’t short at all.” Mag nodded.
Eiffie said resolutely, “Sooner or later, I will make Titan Liquor reappear!”
Mag looked at Eiffie with a shake of his head, and said, “You’re going in the wrong direction. You won’t be able to brew the real Titan Liquor in your life.”
Eiffie was stunned. She looked at Mag, pressed her lips together, and her eyes reddened. However, she managed to hold her tears back.
Mala’s heart went out to her young mistress, and she glared at Mag.
“If you trust me, Miss Eiffie, you can bring me to your brewery,” Mag told Eiffie.
He was a great person; it was just that his heart softened easily.
Of course, he also pitied the wine.
Such a good wine should be passed down. Otherwise, it would be quite a pity.
“Of course.” Eiffie nodded. Although she did not know what Mag wanted to do, she still led Mag to the back of the tavern.
Her guard was down as long as Mag could not brew anything better than Titan Liquor.
Titan Tavern was twice the size of Saipan Tavern, and there was a rather large brewery behind the operating area.
The moment one entered the brewery, the thing that stood out the most was the distillation unit right in the center.
There was a faint wine fragrance in the air, and there was a little cellar at the side.
Mag went up to check the old-looking distillation unit, and quickly found the reason for Eiffie’s wine being as tasteless as water.
“Is there an issue?” Eiffie went up to ask Mag, who was shaking his head.
“Miss Eiffie, when you brew your wine, is there white smoke and wine fragrance coming out?” Mag asked with a smile.
“Yes, yes. It’s a grand sight when our young mistress is brewing wine.” Miss nodded proudly.
“Mala.” Eiffie glared at her. She then turned to nod at Mag. “Titan Liquor’s brewing is like that.”
No, it’s only like that when you brew Titan Liquor.” Mag shook his head with a smile..
