Chapter 168 Drinking and Talking
Chapter 168 Drinking and Talking
"A large glass of craft beer." Sol replied after hearing the waiter's greeting.
After finishing speaking, he looked at Meng Ran who was beside him again, and asked him, "What do you want to drink? Brother."
After Meng Ran thought for a moment, he said to the waiter, "A cup of Moscow mule, less dried ginger juice."
One of his favorite cocktails is the Moscow Mule, which is made with vodka as the base alcohol.
Different from other cocktails, Moscow Mule has a fresh taste, which is the most important reason why Meng Ran likes it.
The ingredients of this cocktail are relatively simple, only vodka, lime juice and dried ginger water are used, but the taste of each bartender will be slightly different according to their own habits.
"Hmm~ It seems that this gentleman likes a fresher taste." The waiter nodded after hearing Meng Ran's order, and then said very knowledgeably.
After speaking, he picked up the bartender next to him and started to make it. It turned out that he was not only a waiter, but also a bartender.
Seeing the gaudy movements of the bartender at the bar, Sol asked Meng Ran curiously: "The Moscow mule sounds like an animal, doesn't it?"
Meng Ran also answered Saul's question: Yes, mules are one of the most common livestock on earth, and most of them are used to work on the land. "
"There is a theory about the origin of its name."
"Although the alcohol content of this cocktail is not particularly high, it is called the Moscow Mule because it has a lot of stamina. If you drink too much, you will feel like you were kicked by a mule."
"Moscow is named because the vodka that was first used to make this cocktail was produced in Moscow."
Saul also opened his eyes after hearing Meng Ran's explanation. This origin story made him feel very interesting.
I didn't expect that there are so many sayings about any "drinking wine" on the earth.
At this moment, the bartender handed Meng Ran the copper mug containing the Moscow mule that had been prepared.
Copper is used to make wine glasses because copper is the metal with the best thermal conductivity among metals.If you make a cocktail drink, you can keep the ice of the cocktail to the greatest extent.
"Moscow mule, the taste is guaranteed to be refreshing." The bartender handed the wine to Meng and added a sentence.
Meng Ran nodded and took the cup, then raised the cup and took a long gulp.
Accompanied by the spiciness of vodka and the fragrance of lime, the cold liquid flowed out of the copper cup and entered Meng Ran's esophagus, moistening his parched throat.
"Phew~" Meng Ran let out a long breath after taking a mouthful of the cold Moscow mule. There is really no way to describe this happy feeling.
Sol was drinking his big glass of craft beer, and seeing Meng Ran gulping down his Moscow mule happily, he couldn't help being a little curious and eager to try.
"You have a drink too, try it." Meng Ran also saw Sol's eagerness to try, so he said to him after putting down his glass.
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sol to answer, Meng Ran asked the bartender for another glass of Moscow mule.
A moment later, the same glass of Moscow Mule also left the bar and came in front of Sol.
After picking up the wine glass, he looked at it curiously, and then imitated Meng Ran's action just now and took a big gulp.
In an instant, the icy and fresh taste filled Sol's mouth, and the alcohol, which was much stronger than beer, was also playing its role at this time.
"Wow~ This wine is not bad. Not only does it taste fresh, but it also has a lot of stamina."
Sol nodded in satisfaction after taking a sip.
Seeing his Amway success, Meng Ran also showed a satisfied smile.
In the following time, Meng Ran and Sol chatted while drinking.
"Oh, brother, I thought of my miserable younger brother Loki again. Although he was very good at causing trouble, I was very sad to think of him dying like this."
"And my mother, I remember she was very tolerant and loving to us two brothers when we were young."
"During the sudden invasion of the dark elves, she was also killed by those damn elves."
At this time, Sol, who had been drinking for a while, was telling Meng Ran his recent tragic family story.
Meng Ran comforted him while listening, "Loki is so smart, and he is extremely good at using spells."
"Maybe his death this time was just a joke with you, and you will see him again after a while."
"And the deceased is gone, you have to look forward, I believe your mother would not like to see you so sad."
While comforting Sol, Meng Ran secretly reminded him.
But it's a pity that Sol only thought it was Meng Ran who was comforting him, and didn't have too much hope for what Meng Ran said. After all, Loki died in his arms, and he witnessed it with his own eyes.
Meng Ran also saw Sol's appearance, and he didn't continue to give excessive reminders about it, but just sighed slightly in his heart.
In fact, Thor's suffering has just begun a little bit now. After that, he will experience the resurrection of his brother Loki, the death of his father Odin and the rebirth of his sister Hela.
In the end, because he couldn't beat his sister Hela, he could only release the flame giant, let him destroy Asgard and die with Hela.
The expected twilight of the gods came as scheduled, and Thor could only take the remaining Asgardian people to the earth for refuge.
But even this last bit of hope was destroyed by Thanos' sudden appearance and disappeared.
Not only half of the people were slaughtered, but even his most trusted partner Heimdall and his younger brother Loki were killed by Thanos.
After thinking of this, Meng Ran patted Thor on the shoulder comfortingly.
Facing Thor's bumpy future, Meng Ran was a little worried for him.
Fortunately, Lei Shen's sentimentality came and went quickly. After a moment of negativity, he raised his glass again and started a fierce confrontation with Ran.
In this way, Meng Ran drank with Thor in the tavern until midnight, and then returned to their respective residences to rest.
As far as the physiques of the two are concerned, the alcohol basically doesn't have much effect on them.
After drinking, they didn't feel high or uncomfortable except for a little excitement.
So when they parted, Meng Ran and Sol were also in a very sober state, and they made an appointment to leave on time after the lunch time passed at noon the next day.
Meng Ran didn't have any objection to this schedule. Although he was in a hurry to build new weapons, he was not in a hurry.
According to their plan, it will not be too late to return to Earth, but after all, Sol has only come to Earth not long ago, so there must be enough time to explain and say goodbye to him, Jane and others.
After everything is ready, Sol can go to the dwarf kingdom with Meng Ran without any worries.
