Chapter Twenty-Four: Winemaking Knows the Old Man
Maybach heads to the city's most extravagant Jin Mao Tower, a gathering place for luxury goods. Goshichia is ready to pick up a gift here.
In addition to the extravagant decoration, almost all the well-known luxury brands have gathered here, and in the blink of an eye, all you can see is the refracted light of jewelry and diamonds. It's not too luxurious!
Li Suiqiu was lazy and lazy at the end, her eyes wandered from place to place, and she really didn't see anything that attracted her.
"Can you concentrate a little bit?" a cold voice floated from above his head, and then Li Suiqiu's forehead hit his strong chest!
When she couldn't catch it, she looked up and met a pair of deep and serious eyes, and Yu Ciqian felt that she was like playing soy sauce at all!
"Uh, what's wrong?" she muttered.
"Picked?"
She shook her head, pursed her lips and said, "Yu Shao, I really didn't say it. You pick a gift for the elderly, why don't you do what you like, you have to have a direction. It's full of jewelry, and it looks like it's for a lover. ”
The more he spoke, the smaller he became, and he glanced at Yu Ciqian.
He was also a little puzzled, as if the royal family had never deliberately cared about the intentions that the gift could represent, could it be that they were too cold?
After thinking about it, he pouted and scolded her with a very bad temper: "Otherwise, I called you here for decoration?"
"You mean, I can decide?" she blinked, a glimmer of anticipation, and if she could, the fun would be over.
"Nonsense. ”
After getting the royal master's golden mouth, Li Suiqiu immediately bumped into the shoulder of the assistant of the imperial word like a pawn who had received a military talisman, and asked, "What does the old man like?"
"It's like wine, and antiques!" can only say these two points after thinking about it.
On the other hand, looking at Yu Ciqian's expression, he didn't seem to know at all.
"There you have it!" she slapped loudly, exclaimed to attract the attention of the two, and said, "Come with me." ”
Li Suiqiu took the two of them out of the building and drove all the way to an alley in the suburbs, which was very deep and seemed to be a gathering place for farmhouses.
The shops are also detached courtyards, and they are very retro. There is a flag hanging outside the door, and the word "wine" is written on it!
Indeed, as soon as you enter the alley, you will be greeted by the rich aroma of wine, and even those who do not drink alcohol can be intoxicated by the smell.
Yuzi Qianhu looked at her suspiciously and asked, "You want to buy wine?"
She shook her finger and pouted, "No! ”
took the two into the deepest part of the alley, a courtyard called Yu's Distillery, neatly placed in two rows of pottery jars, with inky black brush marks on the red letters.
Daughter Red, Bamboo Yeqing, Sanjiang Stop Water, Le Xiaoyao......
It's all old wine, Li Suiqiu is not a drinker in her last life, but some patients are plagued by insomnia all the year round, psychological counseling doesn't work, and drugs are dependent, so she thought of a way, why don't you drink two glasses?
Haha, it would be a bit crazy to have this idea as a doctor, but fortunately, it worked in the first place.
The owner of the winery is an old man surnamed Wu, his long beard is almost on his chest, he has been brewing wine for a lifetime, and he is also an old friend of Li Suiqiu.
She was very familiar with her, stepped forward and patted his smoking tube, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Wu, I'm coming to see you." ”
Maybe it's been an old habit for many years, she always thinks that the other party will turn around and smile, knock on her head with a long cigarette stick, and say again, it turns out that you, the debt collector, are here!
She had gotten drunk many times in the name of trying new wines.
But now, the old man turned around and looked at her blankly, and said in a trance: "Are you?, take a look at what wine you need, the minimum is 100 yuan a catty, I will age it myself, no bargain!"
The slightly rusty response, which made Li Suiqiu stunned.
In a trance, she remembered, oh, she is no longer Li Suiqiu, now it is Gu Rong's face, Gu Rong's identity.
Grandpa Wu, I don't recognize her.
A passionate heart seems to sink into the abyss, falling bottomlessly.
"Oh, no bargain, no bargain. She lowered her head and said, "We want to make a jar of wine ourselves, the kind suitable for the elderly, and it is best to add some supplements to it without affecting the taste." ”
"No problem, but the price will be doubled. 200 yuan a catty!" The old man pushed his glasses, and his old knuckles trembled a little.
The trembling is worse than before, caused by cervical spondylosis compressing the nerves in the back of the head, which used to be alleviated by acupuncture in person, and the elderly were reluctant to have surgery if they had no money.
Yu Ciqian's assistant Kawasawa was a little surprised, and retorted: "Old man, don't ask for a price, the outside is scattered to say that the wine is 60 yuan a catty." "Kawasawa is oriented to his own president in everything, even if he is rich, his president's money is not bombarded, is it?
Hearing this, Li Suiqiu cast a pleading look at Yuci Qian and said, "Is it okay to deduct it from my monthly salary as a doctor?"
She didn't want to bargain anymore.
Yu Ciqian was a little surprised, how could this be like the Gu Rong who asked him yesterday and said that he had no money? ”
"Thank you. She pursed her lips and smiled, this thank you is from the bottom of her heart.
Kawasawa didn't want to say anything more, the president nodded, and he closed his mouth stupidly.
The three of them were led by the old man to the workshop in the backyard, and the wine in the narrow space was even more intense, so they had to go to the warehouse to get the materials for soaking the wine first.
The door that was all dusty was a little choking when it was pushed open, and Kawasawa was the first to enter, and as soon as the old man touched the light, he let out a scream of "wow".
It turned out to be a transparent jar on the wine shelf next to it, which contained five poisons!
Snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads. They are all dead things, and they are treasured in jars, and the jars on the other side are full of Chinese medicinal herbs.
"What's the name, these are all treasures!" Li Suiqiu said reflexively, and she quietly glanced at Yu Ciqian again, wanting to see his reaction.
He walked in the middle of the road, trying not to get close to the jar of the five poisons, obviously afraid.
But who is Yu Da Shao? Even if he wants to kneel down in fear, his face is still silent.
"Pick some and go. His thin lips moved slightly, urging him.
"What's the hurry, the things that go into the wine should be carefully selected. She crossed her arms and preached as a matter of course.
As soon as I heard that I would continue to stay, and the time was still very long? Kawasawa was the first to slip away, and Yu Shao stood still and waited for the sake of the man's face.
When Li Suiqiu picked up enough things and came out with a transparent glass jar, he would subconsciously take a small half step back every time he glanced down.
She couldn't help but burst out laughing, muttering, "It turns out that the devil also has something to fear." ”
"What did you say?" he frowned, instinctively sensing that he was speaking ill of himself.
Li Suiqiu shook his head blankly, anyone who saw it would feel incomparably white, and said, "No, hahaha......"
The process of brewing wine is also simple, the dust on the five poisons and medicinal herbs must be swept away with a small brush, which of course only Li Suiqiu can do.
Yuzi Qian frowned deeply, hugged himself and stood in the corner, watching Li Suiqiu take a huge pair of scissors to cut off the head of the shriveled poisonous snake, brush the dust off his body, and pour drinking wine above 50 degrees into a transparent glass jar.
"Done!"
She snorted, straightened up her slightly sore waist and clapped her hands, and she was done.
This series of skillful movements was praised by Grandpa Wu: "Although she is a girl, she is not squeamish and pretentious, and she works neatly, I like it." ”
When the words fell, the old man stroked his beard again and sighed: "You are quite similar to a girl I know, but unfortunately, she passed away at a young age." ”
The old man's eyes were red, Li Suiqiu's heart was sour, and it took a long time to calm down and say: "Grandpa, mourning, everyone has life and death." ”
That's all she can say, I'm afraid that's the only thing left.
Yu Ciqian observed all this on the side, and said quietly: "Some people die, and they will continue to exist in another way, you are old, you should not be too sad, take care of your body." ”
His words pierced Li Suiqiu's heart.
She nodded in agreement, "That's right. In order to divert her sadness, she took the initiative to ask Assistant Mijichi and Kawasawa to drink.
Calculated in two catties, there are two jars to hold.
"I don't drink!" Yu Zhiqian said extremely indifferently, pushing the wine cup forward, decisively refusing.
Kawasawa took a look, and hurriedly followed the president and echoed: "I don't know how to drink." ”
"The wine I brew, even if you don't drink it, you will be addicted to it. What's the matter? You two stinky boys are very happy to excuse themselves, don't you give me face?" Grandpa Wu usually doesn't touch his wine.
filled a few glasses and shouted: "Come, have the fate to make a wine with my stinky old man, and touch glasses!"
The old man who was over fifty years old invited them, and Yuzi Qian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and it was not good to refuse, so he had to nod and drink the cup.
There was a hot and spicy irritation in his throat, and it took a few glasses of lemonade to relieve it.
provoked the rest of the people to laugh, and Yu Ciqian's whole face suddenly turned red, and in Li Suiqiu's eyes, it looked like boiled boiled shrimp, which made her laugh.
"Suiqiu?" was cold, and a familiar voice came from behind him.
At that time, Li Suiqiu felt that his entire back was stiff, and then he slowly turned his head, but it was Grandpa Wu who hurried to support the swaying figure.
His eyes were foggy, and he leaned on the edge of the pillar with a drunken body, and shouted at her as if he was nothing: "Suiqiu, it's you, right?"
It's a drunken white man!
"Oh, Xiaobai, you're drunk! Where is Xiaoqiu!" Grandpa Wu tried his best to support him, turned his head and explained awkwardly, "The child is infatuated, the colleague who used to have a crush has passed away, so I come over to drink every time I take a vacation, don't mind." ”
"I'm not drunk, Grandpa. Hey...... Yu Shao?" Bai Buyan really drank too much, and sat over with a swaying body in greeting, his head about to hang on Li Suiqiu's shoulder.
"I may be really drunk. Let me lean in!"
Just when Bai Buyan saw his head sink over, a big hand suddenly reached over to support his head, and said in a heavy angry tone: "Not allowed!"
