Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 48 The Wonderful Red Wine

Eve stared blankly at the wine bottle, lost in thought.

Walter Young then poured the red wine into a long-necked decanter.

"Uncle Yang, how much longer do we have to wait?" March 7th asked listlessly, leaning on the bar counter with his hands supporting his head.

Walter Young glanced at his watch and then said, "It should take about half an hour."

"Before tasting, the wine needs to be decanted fully to allow it to come into contact with air and for its aromas to fully develop..."

"Okay, okay, Uncle Yang, we know, you don't need to say it every time."

March 7th interrupted Walter Young in time.

“Never mind.” Walter Young adjusted his glasses and continued, “Does anyone need any side dishes?”

"Me, me, me, I want cheese!" March 7th was the first to raise his hand and say.

Himeko thought for a moment and said, "Please give me a fruit salad, Walter."

Pam then stood on tiptoe and said, "I'd like a sandwich, thank you."

“I can just drink it.” Danheng pushed the glass towards Walter Yang.

“And what about you, Miss Eve?” Walter turned his gaze to Eve.

“Hmm, that…” Eve put her finger to her lips and fell into thought.

All eyes were on Eve.

Eve thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you have any small cakes?"

Everyone: ......

"Um, Miss Eve... I don't think red wine goes well with small cakes, do I?" Himeko said with an awkward smile.

"That's possible, but it seems there's no cake on the train. Can this be used as a substitute?"

As Walter Young spoke, he pulled a pie from under the bar.

The light cream and rich sauce were so delicious together, except that the pie was topped with fish heads gazing at the starry sky.

"This is..." Upon seeing Pai, Eve was completely taken aback and immediately took a few steps back.

"This is the Stargazing Pie. It was a gift from someone during one of my previous exploration trips, and I haven't eaten it yet."

"Miss Eve, if you don't mind, would you like to give it a try?" Walter Young pushed the Stargazing Pie in front of Eve.

Everyone, including Himeko, looked at Eve expectantly.

Eve immediately said, "No, no, let's forget about it."

"Since it's a gift from someone else, you should keep it. I'll just keep the same as Danheng." Eve forced a smile and waved her hand, suppressing her nausea.

I never expected to see this thing here after time-traveling.

“Well, okay.” Walter Young noticed Eve’s discomfort; it seemed she didn’t like the pie.

Sigh, looks like I still won't be able to get rid of all the leftover pies from those dozen or so expeditions...

Just as he was about to put away his gaze at the starry sky, a small hand tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Xing's eyes shone as she stared at the Stargazing Party in front of her.

She said to Walter Young, "Can I try?"

Walter Young was somewhat surprised, then said, "Of course."

Xing happily pulled Pai in front of her, waiting expectantly.

At this moment, everyone looked at Xing, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

There are actually people who like this?

Walter Young turned around and began preparing the side dishes.

Before long, March 7's cheese, Himeko's fruit salad, and Pam's sandwiches were all served.

Looking at the exquisite sandwich in front of her, Pam's big eyes filled with stars.

Himeko used her fork to pick up a piece of orange and put it in her mouth, and immediately the rich orange aroma spread in her mouth.

"These are oranges from Libby Star. I never expected to be able to eat them on the train."

Walter Young then said, "The space station had some stock, so I bought some as well."

"Himeko, let me have a taste!" March Seven came running as soon as she smelled it.

“Sure.” Himeko placed the fruit salad in front of March Seven.

Eve sat at the bar, her gaze fixed on the star and the Stargazing Pie in front of her.

At this moment, Walter Young checked the time. "The wine has sobered up."

Then, he took out a wine glass and poured the red wine from the decanter into it one by one.

"Ah, Uncle Yang, how come I only have this much?" March 7th complained, looking at the less than half-full glass of red wine in front of him.

Walter Young sighed helplessly, "Do you remember the last time you got drunk and mistook Pam for a potted plant?"

"Hmph!" Pam sulked.

March 7th scratched his head and said, "Oh dear, that was an accident!"

"It's all because Uncle Yang's wine is so good!!"

"Come on," Walter Young said calmly. "This amount is just enough so you won't get drunk."

“No…” March 7th immediately wilted.

Eve stared at the glass in front of her; it wasn't as little as it had been on March 7th, but rather more than half full.

The red wine was very clear, with no impurities visible, and its rich aroma indicated that the wine was indeed of very high quality.

Himeko had already started drinking; fruit salad with red wine was a very refreshing way to eat.

March 7th is paired with cheese, which is the most classic combination and can maximize the aroma of red wine.

Pam, on the other hand, eats in a balanced way: a bite of sandwich followed by a sip of red wine, a bite of sandwich followed by a sip of red wine, a bite of sandwich followed by a sip of red wine...

Dan Heng raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp, then closed his eyes and savored the lingering sweetness in his mouth.

When Eve saw how Xing ate, several question marks immediately appeared above her head.

Why did this kid pour red wine into the Stargazing Pie and eat it?

Eve shook her head, no longer paying attention to what was happening to others.

She picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a small sip.

The moment the red wine touches your lips, its unique fruity aroma fills your heart.

The rich fruity aromas, such as black cherry and blackberry, blend with subtle hints of vanilla and smokiness from the oak barrels, unfold on the palate. The tannins are delicate yet firm, like soft silk caressing the tongue.

A slight blush appeared on Eve's face.

She took another sip. The moderate acidity of the wine was like fresh lemon juice in the morning, balancing the rich taste. As the wine swirled in her mouth, she could feel its mellowness and complexity, with a long finish and a hint of sweetness.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage calmed down, and everyone was enjoying the relaxation brought by alcohol.

But then, an accident happened...
