Grasp the farming script in the famous book

"I'm afraid that once you know that my illness is cured, you will take Wade away."

Mrs. Munro lowered her head and muttered an explanation.

Since Roland helped her reopen the restaurant, Mrs. Munro's complexion and spirit have indeed improved a lot, especially after Wade's arrival.But she kept talking about Tommy, as if Tommy was alive and living with her in this city of New Orleans.

Therefore, Roland never thought that Mrs. Munro's heart disease was cured, the illusion was broken, and she was suffering, but she was living painfully and soberly.

"Forgive me for being selfish, but I can't watch you suffer so much because of my shop."

Roland looked down at the document pushed in front of her, and it turned out to be——

A New Orleans license to sell liquor? !

She should be able to imagine that on the first day she came to this restaurant, Mrs. Munro asked Nanny to go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of wine-this is a restaurant with a wine cellar.

She hurriedly looked at the date of the license, it was issued for a three-year license, and the expiration date was... tomorrow!

It should be the liquor license that Tommy applied for before enlisting in the army.When the news of Tommy's death came, Mrs. Munro fell ill.But until she recovered from her illness and woke up, she never took out this license.

Maybe he was really worried that Roland would leave with Wade.

But with this liquor license, all the problems were solved.

Roland stood up as soon as he slapped the table: "I'll renew this license and refund the ticket by the way."

The patrolmen and the Local Affairs Bureau didn't know that the restaurant had a liquor license and issued tickets randomly, so she could laugh at the young boys.

In the past, a large sum of money was required to pay the fine, but now it is no longer necessary.She only needs to spend tens of dollars to renew her liquor license.

A look suddenly appeared on Mrs. Munro's face - Roland was willing to renew the liquor license, so naturally he would not leave in a short time.

During the conversation between Mrs. Munro and Roland, Sister Nannie had been standing behind Mrs. Munro with her arms folded, when she said to Roland, "Ma'am, you are a good man."

After getting along for so long, Sister Nanni was finally able to fully trust Roland's kindness and enthusiasm.

"Sister, I think that in this world, people are not classified according to the color of their skin. There are good whites and bad whites among white people; the same is true for black people."

"Good people are supposed to stand together and support each other, right?"

The swarthy Sister Nanni smiled gratifiedly at Roland, showing her white teeth.

The next day Roland immediately rushed to the Local Affairs Bureau to renew her liquor license.

People from the Local Affairs Bureau checked the records and found: "Really, ma'am, your small restaurant really has a license to sell liquor."

Roland explained to them: "Because of the war, the restaurant has been closed for more than a year. Mrs. Munro, who applied for this license, fell ill again and did not recover until recently."

"If it weren't for everyone, I really didn't know that my restaurant could sell alcohol."

When she applied to revoke the ticket, she ran into the young patrolman again.The patrolman looked frustrated, but verbally forced his words: "You didn't mention this license when I went to inspect your store."

"So this ticket should still be valid."

Roland sneered: "Anyway, the Local Affairs Bureau has only one choice: either be fined, or accept my renewal application. I recommend the latter, after all, my restaurant can be operated for many years, and the Local Affairs Bureau can get the license from this license. earn long-term income."

The patrolman is still frustrated: license fee payment is not his "business" scope.

"How is this going?"

A stern voice sounded behind Roland.

"Could it be that citizens can challenge the government now and let the bureau choose?"

Roland turned around, and found that there was a figure who looked like a high-ranking official in front of him.

This is a man in his late 50s, tall, with gray hair and gray eyes, and a very handsome face.The clothes on him were also very crisp, and the belt around his waist was tightly tied, showing an old-fashioned, military style.

"Sir," the patrolman saluted the visitor with a snap.

"Well, this lady has an unexpired liquor license, but we still issued her a ticket for selling liquor without a license. So she said that if she pays the ticket, she will not renew her license. If She refused to pay the ticket when she was asked to renew her license."

"So it is!"

The senior official's face immediately softened a lot.

"It's our own problem. This lady shouldn't be paying the ticket at all."

"Quickly apologize to this lady!"

With an order, the patrolman immediately put his feet together and apologized to Roland.

Roland nodded: "I accept your apology for the sake of your diligence on duty."

The older senior official also walked up to Roland, and said in a gentle tone: "Madam, please forgive me, our affairs have been many and complicated during the period after the war, and young people may not be able to do everything. Please forgive me for the unpleasantness in the past. Forget it, I hope your business will be smooth sailing in the future..."

He happened to be standing in front of Roland, and the two met face to face.

The words that the officer was speaking were cut off without warning.

He began to stare intently at Roland, looking at her pretty face and those dark green eyes, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and his eyes suddenly began to light up——

"Madam, where have I seen you?"

"You... what's your last name?"

There was unreasonable excitement in his voice, and he glanced at the liquor license she was holding.It's a pity that although Roland paid for the renewal of the liquor license, Mrs. Munro's surname was still written on it.

"The deceased husband's surname is Han, my maiden name is Hao..."

"Oh!"

There was disappointment in the officer's voice.

He shook his head, probably admitting that he had admitted the wrong person.

"Have a nice day!"

He said a very brief word of congratulations, then took his leave and left.

Only the dazed Roland and the young patrolman continued to be depressed after being reprimanded.

"This officer... who is he?"

Patrolman: "He's a big man in the state government, inspector in the New Orleans Bureau of Local Affairs."

"His name is Philippe Robial."

Roland: ...!

As soon as she heard the surname, she knew that it was a relative from her mother Ellen's side.

It's a pity that this person has disappeared, otherwise she could really mention it to the other party, maybe this mother or grandmother who knows her.

When Roland came back from Local Affairs she felt refreshed--in truth, she wanted to bang the drums and tell the world that the wicked Yankee's deliberate mischief had actually led her to find a liquor license. , the small restaurant can sell wine from now on, and there is no need to squeeze sugar cane juice all day long.

Sister Nannie accompanied Roland down to the cellar of the restaurant with a smile, and showed her the wine that Mrs. Munro had stored before.

The large barrels of wine preserved before the war are still drinkable, and the taste is more mellow.Wine on cask is cheap, just enough to go with a good and cheap dinner in a restaurant.

There are also many bottled wines with old labels, which seem to be worth a lot of money.Customers with deep pockets can also choose when they come.

In this way, when the restaurant starts selling table wine, Mrs. Munro can get back a lot of money.

She roughly calculated the stock of the wine cellar, and felt that the wine would be sold out within two months.

So Roland took the time to go to the market in the city to try to find a reliable wine dealer—she was probably the most savvy and wine-savvy restaurant chef in New Orleans: after all, she was someone who had opened a winery.

In the market, she found that the rum here is really good, whether it is white rum or golden rum stored in oak barrels, they are of high quality and cheap.

Roland immediately recalled the first day she first came to New Orleans, and Rhett took her to a local tavern. In addition to tasting the best-selling gumbo and risotto in the area, they also paired it with rum and water—— It made a huge impression on her.

In this plane, people seem to be just used to drinking spirits and water separately.Roland has seen Miss Han Baidie sip her own brandy in small sips, and she herself once "suffled" corn whiskey in Tara Manor, so that she could temporarily forget her fatigue and regain her strength.

But the famous, highly inventive, alcoholic drink that became popular all over the world—the cocktail, seems to have not yet appeared.

Since New Orleans is blessed with rum, why doesn't she take advantage of it?

Therefore, Roland decisively launched a "fun wine"——

Yes, Pengqujiu, it appeared in the first plane she saw, the plane of arrogance.

The fun wine in the arrogant plane is still a drink made of wine mixed with hot water, sugar, lemon and various spices. It is quite different from the cocktails of later generations, but the basic principle is the same.

Roland replaced the base wine with Jamaican golden rum and a small amount of brandy, then added lemon juice, water and sugar, and added a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass as a decoration to make a golden cocktail.

The new drink was first sent to Mrs. Munro and Sister Nannie for tasting.

Both said yes.

Mrs. Munro said that she could hardly feel any pungent taste of strong alcohol, but she was flushed and looked slightly drunk.

And Sister Nannie giggled and danced around on the floor in the middle of the restaurant.

Roland: Yes, this is a wine that can bring people happiness.

She named this new "Pengqu Wine" "Sunset Pengqu Wine".

One reason is that the color of the wine is very close to the color of the sunset, and the other reason is that she made a rule for her restaurant:

This wine is only sold when the sun is not over and there is still light in the west.

This is for local security considerations.

The law and order in New Orleans has always been worrying, and alcoholism and drunken riots are also the source of the law and order problems at night.

Roland's restaurant already relied on the neighbors in the community, and she didn't want to bring more problems to the local community, so she simply made this hard rule - people can only drink this wine before the sun goes down.

Therefore, "Sunset Friends Wine" has become a Chinese pre-dinner drink.

Before and after the restaurant opens, before people can sit down and enjoy the food, the little black girl Prissy will give out glasses of pre-mixed "sunset fun wine".People can savor some delicious drinks first while waiting in line.

Not as strong as rum or brandy, these drinks are delicious without being intoxicating, refreshing and thirst-quenching in taste, and can bring a little drunk pleasure.

This is great. When Roland's restaurant was just a well-known small restaurant with local dishes, her bar has become the most desirable bar in New Orleans with an ingenious recipe of fun wine.

Many people came here just to taste a glass of "Sunset Friends Wine" - anyway, the restaurant has to make a reservation or line up, and they can't get in the line. It's better to order a cocktail at the bar and enjoy it slowly in your hand Now, with a satisfying drink, return to the upper city or the lower city, and then look for dinner.

Before long, bistros in downtown New Orleans were following suit, and starting to introduce the brand-new "fun drink" (not named "Sunset" yet, because these bistros don't plan to close so early.)

The recipe of this wine is not complicated. As long as the bistro is willing to spend money, it can also bring out delicious sunset fun by using golden rum cellared in bourbon oak barrels.

But people are still running to "Tommy's kitchen", making the taverns in the city puzzled - obviously they have gone to drink Sunset Fun several times in order to steal the teacher, and even secretly poured it back in a jar After comparing, the taste is exactly the same!

"Recently, 'Tommy's' has fine-tuned the taste, seasonal peach flavor, with a little ice, it tastes better than before."

Diners are spreading new "information" about the latest cocktail trends.

"Peach flavor?!"

"Yes, it is said that it is especially suitable for ladies, and you can bring your wife there - after all, the restaurant is run by ladies."

The taverns in the city were dumbfounded—they finally imitated the classic "Sunset Friends" with great difficulty, and just stabilized the recipe, now tell them to change the taste?

Roland: Actually, I just added a little peach brandy to it.

This peach brandy is a brandy made by adding fruit, with its own fruity aroma.In fact, Roland can replace them with apples, apricots, pears, black brûlée...and other brandies of different flavors according to the seasons as he likes.

Even if the existing brandy flavor is used up, she can also use the "rum" as the base wine to make a variety of cocktails.

When Roland sat in front of the bar and asked himself: "Should I make mojito or pada1 today?"

She felt that this was really a sweet trouble!

When Roland was still "sweet and troubled" in the plane, the producer of the plane was sweet with troubles.

Roland moved from Tara to New Orleans, where his career flourished.The producer of the plane couldn't catch up.

This side has just ordered the top-quality "Dahongpao" from the best Zhongzhi Park to be packaged and sold. Roland's people have already arrived in New Orleans and are ready to open a restaurant.

The Plane Store felt that this was a good opportunity, and immediately launched a meal ordering business, selling all the delicacies that Roland made in the Plane according to the original recipe - promising that whatever Roland did in the Plane, the audience would be able to taste what was outside the Plane .

As a result, the business of the Dimension Store, which had been deserted in the first half of the Dimension Plane season, suddenly exploded.

“A Gumbo Combo!”

"A seafood risotto set."

"I won't be ordering milk tea today, but two glasses of Sunset Fun Wine—Remarks: I'm an adult."

"..."

Orders keep pouring in, sometimes even causing network congestion.

The long-distance courier company responsible for food delivery asked clearly: "Is that particularly powerful Nakata player in your plane now?"

The person in charge of the plane store nodded frequently with a happy face of trouble.

"Take it easy," the courier company advised, "Don't promise to sell whatever she does. That contestant...you never know how much energy she has."

The manager of the plane store nodded as if his face was swollen to make him look fat, and said, "It's just a contestant...what she can do, there is no way she can't do it in the 22nd century."

In the next second, the order comes in:

"Here comes a boat of crayfish!"

Plane store manager: ...

However, the chief planner and chief director of this plane are very happy. The ratings of the plane have been sluggish in recent seasons, and it is only now that it has ushered in a big reversal.

The chief director shed tears: I spent a large amount of signing fees and revenue sharing, this plane has finally become popular!

At this moment, the technical brother sent a message to the chief planner:

"Boss, this is terrible, a huge bug has appeared in the plane!"

"It's about a certain original character..."

"We found out that he...may not be a character in the original book..."

"It is possible that the disturbance of the magnetic field caused the real person outside the plane to enter the plane."

"Boss, what should I do? qaq"
