What kind of names are these for drinks?

I’ve never heard of any of them!

Young Master Xu and Su Ziweng turned to look at a clueless Feng Shan.

’Why are you looking at me?’

’Demi’s always been the one running the bar; I’m not involved at all.’

Feng Shan rolled his eyes, then looked up at the waitress and offered her a smile.

"Could you tell us about them?"

"Of course!" The waitress, a smile on her face, began to describe the characteristics, ingredients, and preparation method of each drink in a confident voice.

"Tundra Starry Night. This cocktail is made by mixing unique berries from the camp’s tundra with a touch of ice wine. On the palate, you’ll experience the rich fragrance of the berries, reminiscent of the delight of stumbling upon a patch of them while wandering the tundra. The subtle chill from the ice wine is like the cool night breeze, spreading gently across your tongue. Finally, it leaves a long, lingering aftertaste infused with the mysterious essence of the tundra under a starry night."

"Then there’s Tundra Aurora, whose colors are as brilliant and vibrant as the aurora itself."

"This drink has a special blend. The base liquor is infused with the essence of tundra plants. When you taste it, it’s as if you can see the aurora dancing in the night sky. The feeling of the liquid sliding down your throat is like watching the aurora streak across the heavens, bringing a stunning and wonderful experience."

Listening to the waitress’s eloquent descriptions, Su Ziweng frowned slightly, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

’I’ve had all kinds of fine wines. Does she think just changing the name is enough to impress me?’

’It’s just a marketing gimmick.’

’The actual taste probably won’t even compare to the wines I usually drink.’

But he still had to give Feng Shan some face. After the waitress finished describing the first two drinks, Su Ziweng quickly cut her off.

"Okay, okay, miss. Bring us one of every Tundra Wine on the menu. Let me see if they’re as good as you say."

"Right away, please wait a moment!" The waitress picked up the menu, still maintaining her professional smile, and walked quickly to the bar.

She handed the drink list to the bartender and quietly relayed Su Ziweng’s order.

The bartender was also a new employee, but under Demi’s training, he was already competent at his job.

After a glance at the list, the bartender raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly a little surprised by such a lavish order, but he immediately got to work mixing the drinks.

Su Ziweng leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest, and scanned his surroundings.

The bar was currently in its soft opening, and their table was the only one with customers.

So, he offered some well-intentioned advice to Feng Shan.

"Brother Feng, this approach for your bar won’t work. You’re just using a bunch of fancy names to fool people. Some tourists have very discerning palates. If they find out they’ve been tricked, it’ll damage the reputation of the Crown Territory."

Feng Shan just smiled dismissively at Su Ziweng’s warning. He picked up a nut from the fruit platter on the table, popped it into his mouth, and replied indistinctly.

"You’ll know once you try it! Demi does great work. You should have some faith in her."

Demi!

The face corresponding to the name quickly appeared in the minds of Young Master Xu and Su Ziweng.

The girl with the freckles, brown hair, large chest, and long legs.

「Soon.」

The waitress brought over three glasses of Tundra Starry Night.

The three drinks were placed on the table, immediately drawing the gazes of all three men.

The liquid was black, deep and mysterious.

Little white fruits bobbed up and down in the liquid, sparkling like brilliant stars in the night sky and creating a dreamlike impression.

"It looks pretty good, but I wonder how it tastes," Su Ziweng said curiously as he picked up his glass and took a sip.

The instant it touched his lips, a rich, fruity fragrance flooded his mouth, sweeping over him like a surging tide. Every single one of his taste buds seemed to be cheering in delight.

Then, a subtle coolness spread across the tip of his tongue, like a gentle breeze sweeping across the tundra, bringing with it a refreshing sensation.

After he swallowed, a long aftertaste reverberated in his throat, lingering like a melodious nocturne that refused to fade.

Su Ziweng closed his eyes, feeling as if he had been transported to the tundra at night.

Looking up, he saw a sky full of brilliant stars, like jewels embedded in a black velvet canopy.

At his feet were patches of berry bushes, the plump fruits giving off an inviting sheen.

He could even smell the unique aroma in the air—a mixture of fruity fragrance and the distinct, crisp chill of the tundra.

The sensation was so real and wonderful that his earlier disdain vanished in an instant.

「A moment later.」

Su Ziweng gradually returned from that wonderful fantasy. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the glass in his hand, and couldn’t help but exclaim,

"What an incredible drink! I’ve never tasted anything so wonderful!"

Seeing Su Ziweng’s expression, Young Master Xu hastily picked up his own glass.

He first took a sniff. A faint, mixed aroma of fruit and alcohol tickled his nostrils, and his curiosity was instantly piqued.

Then, copying Su Ziweng, he took a small sip.

The moment the liquid entered his mouth, his eyes widened slightly.

The rich, fruity fragrance exploded in his mouth like fireworks, spreading rapidly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The result was much the same as with Su Ziweng; he had the expression of someone who’d just had his world turned upside down.

Seeing their expressions, a faint smile played on Feng Shan’s lips.

He had long expected that these tundra-style drinks would have something special about them. It seemed they hadn’t disappointed him.

Setting aside Demi’s bartending skills, the soil, plants, air, and water quality within the camp were all quietly changing under the nurturing influence of the tribe’s Fire Seed.

The tribe’s Fire Seed was making the land more fertile, the plants more lush and healthy, the air fresher, and the water purer.

This change also affected the quality of the wine, making these Tundra Wines more unique and mellow.

"Miss, please tell the bartender to hurry up! I want to try the rest! Brother Feng, your drinks are absolutely incredible!" Su Ziweng shouted excitedly to the waitress.
