Chapter 145: The Charm of Beer!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Alan was very serious about making beer.
Yesterday, he spent the whole day making all the new beer. After that, Alan went back to his room to rest.
After sleeping from dark until dawn, Alan’s long sleep finally completely eliminated the fatigue from making beer the day before.
“System, help me list the beer on the menu!”
The first thing Alan did after waking up in the morning was to order the system to add the new beer to the menu in his own tavern.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from the system, Alan ignored it and only focused on his own things.
According to the usual practice, after waking up in the morning, he handed the front lobby to Yupanki. Alan went straight to the backyard and saw that the beer made yesterday as well as the bottled beer also needed to be rearranged.
There was still some preparation before the sale. There was an extra place for the beer barrel on the bar counter. The beer was not expensive, so Alan planned to put it directly on the bar counter and let the customers take it. It was like the buffet in his previous life.
The weight of a beer barrel was about 100 pounds. Adding the weight of the beer barrel itself, it was already an unbearable weight for Alan.
Therefore, Alan, who was in the backyard, shouted for his friends in the lobby to come over and help.
“Yupanki! Abraham…”
He just shouted their names. If everyone did not know that the tavern was completely fine, they would definitely be very anxious. At this moment, when they heard the shouts. They all walked slowly to the backyard.
“What’s wrong, Alan?”
When everyone reached the backyard, they saw Alan standing at the door of the brewery with a smile on his face.
“Hehe, it’s nothing. There’s new wine in the tavern today, so I asked you to carry the barrels over.”
After Alan finished speaking with a smile, he gave way to the door of the distillery.
Looking at the big barrel, Yupanki glanced at Alan. “How many barrels?”
The disdain in his eyes made Alan’s heart turn cold. “One…”
“Then why did you call us all over?”
Abraham was shocked.
Alan wanted to explain, but he couldn’t say a word as he looked at Yupanki who was already carrying the wine barrel on his shoulder.
After placing the wine barrel on the bar counter, everyone was observing the new wine name on the menu.
“Dark beer?”
“This is the barrel?”
Asmodeus looked at the big wine barrel placed on the bar counter and asked curiously.
“Yes, yes. This barrel is new wine. Dark beer. It’s similar to the way wheat water is brewed, but it’s much better than wheat water!”
Alan said proudly, but when everyone heard wheat water, they immediately dumbfounded. They all sighed silently in their hearts. “Alan is also going to run out of ideas…”
“Don’t be like that. I’m telling you, in the future, the best-selling wine in the tavern will definitely be beer. There’s no other way!”
Looking at Alan’s confident look, everyone still remained doubtful. After all, wheat water was a trauma to them. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the worst-tasting beer on the continent.
“Why don’t you let us try it?”
Beelzebub’s opinion was unanimously agreed by everyone.
It was as if there was a four-dimensional pocket under the bar counter. Alan pulled open the drawer and took out five beer glasses from it.
It was another type of glass with a different shape. The five people in front of them had stayed in the tavern for quite a long time. After seeing so many glasses, they were already immune to glass. They all knew that to Alan, glass was just a small thing, it was not worth much.
“How much you’re going to sell it? Such a big glass…”
Yupanki looked at the huge glass in his hand and asked.
“It’s 1 silver coin per person.”
Alan told them his price. This price seemed too cheap for the tavern. The others looked at him in shock.
“Are you sure? It cost literally nothing!”
Beelzebub stared at Alan in surprise.
“Don’t worry. Other wines will earn back the money. Beer is 1 silver coin per person. Drink as you like. Treat it as a benefit given by the tavern to everyone.”
Alan looked at everyone and knew that they were all worried about him. He paused and said.
“Besides, beer is not as expensive as you think. The cost of brewing my beer is also very low, but the taste and quality can still be guaranteed. You’ll know when you try it.”
After saying that, he taught them how to use the beer barrel. There was a faucet-like switch on the front of the barrel, and they could get the beer by turning the valve left and right. It was a very convenient design.
Abraham, who was the first to fill the beer barrel, was shocked by the hops that surged up in an instant. He looked at the bubbles that kept rising, and he froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
“This… What’s going on…”
After Alan reached out to close the valve, the beer barrel stopped pouring out the beer. After the bubbles in Abraham’s glass bubbled for a while, then they finally stopped.
“This is the unique charm of beer. The quality of hops is also an important basis for determining whether a beer is good or bad.”
Just like when Alan introduced Lafite to everyone, he told everyone the basic knowledge of beer.
After listening to Alan’s introduction, everyone had a new understanding of beer.
Everyone had a glass of beer. In the end, Alan could not hold it in and gave himself a glass as well.
“Cheers!”
Alan suddenly knocked his own glass lightly into everyone’s glass. After a few crisp ‘ding’ sounds, he finished it in one go.
He raised his neck and gulped down the whole glass of beer in one gulp.
“Ha… Burp…”
Then Alan let out a long burp, which was very ungraceful.
Beelzebub frowned when he saw Alan’s unrefined look.
After Alan gulp down a glass of beer, he looked at everyone expectantly. Yupanki took the lead and imitated Alan’s behavior and finished the glass of beer in his hand.
Seeing the expression on Yupanki’s face change from doubtful to enjoy, the others did not hesitate and imitated Alan’s behavior and drank the beer.
“Burp…”
A series of burps sounded in the small tavern. Alan was extremely satisfied. This was what he wanted to drink the first glass of beer to be satisfied!
“Alan, can I have another glass?”
It was rare for Samael to take the initiative to ask Alan for a drink.
“It’s up to you, everyone. This is how it is when you drink beer. Once you start drinking, you will always want to drink.”
“However, you must be careful that if you drink too quickly, you will soon feel bloated. Also, don’t think that you cannot get drunk just because its alcohol content is only in the single digits. If you are not careful, you will still get drunk.”
Seeing that everyone liked it, Alan kept smiling happily. Beer was like wheat water’s substitute. The price was not much different, but the taste was absolutely overwhelming.
Before the tavern opened for business, the four demon lords of the Abyss and Yupanki, the five big men, had already drunk half of the new barrel of beer. Alan could not help but be a little surprised. How many stomachs did these guys have?
They drank so much that they did not even need to go to the toilet.
When Ai Xiaohei came back from the sun, Alan consciously poured her a glass of beer. The glass was a little too big for her, and her two front paws could not carry it over.
Ai Xiaohei looked at Alan’s gloating expression and rolled her eyes at him. She slightly enlarged her body size and lifted the large beer glass with one paw. She drank her first beer, then she even gave Alan a provocative look.
The sudden appearance of beer made everyone in the tavern very excited and lively for a long time. They didn’t return to their places until the business hours were over, and they got busy with their jobs.
The customers who came to drink beer chose to try the new beer after being strongly recommended by Yupanki and the others.
The beer was self-service. Every customer who came to the bar would exchange a few words with Alan. Everyone was very satisfied with the new beer.
“Little Alan, the beer is great. is it really improved from wheat water?”
“More or less.”
“Oh, then you’re simply a genius. Such terrible wheat wine can actually give birth to beer!”
“This is too incredible!”
…
The small tavern was filled with everyone’s praise.
Just as Alan had expected, during the opening hours of the day, Yupanki and Beelzebub changed the barrels three times in total. Before closing, the last barrel was left with a little more than half.
A lot of alcohol had been consumed during the day, but there was not much income. Yupanki was a little worried. Only Alan calmly expressed that it did not matter. After a while, when everyone’s enthusiasm for beer subsided, the turnover would rise again.
Yupanki was half-convinced, but seeing Alan’s confident look, he did not say anything more.
With the new beer on the market and the news from the capital, Alan felt that there had been good news recently and was in a good mood.
However, his good mood was very bad news for some forces.
