It's been a thousand years in the world Chapter 16 Touching porcelain
Qi An was confused, but he had always been a man who couldn't solve it and let it go. After all, in his long life, there was nothing that time could not solve.
After chatting with the middle-aged man surnamed Jin for a few more words, Qi An got up and walked out of the golden-decorated lounge. This was not the destination of his trip in the first place, but a middle-aged man surnamed Jin asked him to come for tea, so he settled here first.
Out of this lounge, Qi An glanced back. When I went in just now, I didn't feel anything, but when I came out, I found that the golden decoration inside was out of step with the overall style here.
After all, it is generally a Gothic architectural style, but it is separated by a lounge with the most luxurious decoration of a business club in the 80s, but fortunately there is a door to separate it, and it seems that there are two worlds when you step out.
After going to the appointment, Qi An's time became free. He came to the place he knew best in the building, the one that had led him to mistake it for a bar.
Walking down two flights of stairs, Qi An came to this familiar place. Looking at it, today it was not as few people as before, but more than a dozen people filled the seats in the field, although Qi An was a little strange, but he didn't care much.
After walking to the bar and sitting on the high stool, the bartender in front of him stopped wiping his glass, looked up to see that it was Qi An, said hello and asked, "Are you coming?"
Qi An shook his head with a smile at the bartender, and said to the bartender, "Change the taste today, what do you recommend?"
The bartender thought for two seconds, but was a little embarrassed, and asked while thinking, "Feeling good?"
Qi An said "um" softly, but the bartender saw Qi An's pleasure, so he said: "When you are so happy, I should open a bottle of champagne for you, but this occasion is a bit inappropriate." ”
Then he looked around, and after confirming that he was looking at the bar, he took out a small white steel flask under the bar, and asked as if offering a treasure, "I treasure it, take a sip?"
Qi An saw that he was a little funny, and smiled: "The bartender still brings his own wine?" said as he took the wine jug, dragged an old-fashioned cup and poured a small half glass into it.
Seeing Qi An's violent destruction, the bartender hurriedly snatched the small wine jug in Qi An's hand, took a tulip cup, and poured half a glass for himself.
Qi An picked up the wine glass and couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression. Bubbles poured up from the bottom of the glass, silver bubbles jumping in the pale gold liquor, eventually dispersing into patches of gold. The light is refracted by the wine glass, and it is a delightful brilliance.
Picked it up and smelled it, it was a ripe orange aroma, mixed with honey, but with a hint of smoked bread of baked bread. This compound taste made Qi'an, who was used to drinking Chinese baijiu, a little uncomfortable.
After only one sip, Qi An had the desire to spit it out. For Qi An, it's really a little sour. He couldn't help but look at the bartender in confusion, and the bartender was taking small sips, as if he didn't notice the sourness of the wine.
He took another sip, and then he felt the difference between this wine and the others. The Chinese liquor he prefers has a relatively simple aroma, a long and mellow taste, and a good wine is soft and sweet in the mouth, even if it is an inferior wine, the taste is spicy and refreshing.
After taking a sip of champagne, the mouth is soft and fresh, and then you can feel the bubbles explode in your mouth, bringing a natural fruit sour taste. Champagne is much more complex than white wine, with fruity floral notes, citrus aromas, and chocolate and creamy sweetness.
But after Qi An smacked two sips, he still gave up trying, pushed the cup to the bartender, shook his head and smiled: "It tastes good, but it's a little sour and not very adaptable, let's have a glass according to the original." ”
The bartender grinned and quipped, "I've been here so many times, you drink Fenjiu every time, and you don't try anything new, how can you look like an old man." ”
Qi An only smiled slightly, but did not speak. The bartender turned around and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet and poured it for Qi An.
"Do I need to buy you a bottle? The bottle you put here is almost finished. The bartender asked, shaking the bottle.
"Not for now, let's talk about it next time, maybe I'll change the tricks next time." Qi An responded. The bartender nodded and continued to wipe his glass.
After sitting at the bar for a while, Qi An said goodbye to the bartender and turned to go out. was walking, but a person rushed out next to him, stumbling in front of Qi An.
Although Qi An quickly grabbed his arm, he didn't expect a huge force to suddenly come from his hand, and no matter how hard he tried, it was too late, so he had to watch the white-haired and white-bearded old man fall to the ground.
"Oops, it hurts the old man, it hurts!" The old man lay on the ground and covered his ass and began to roll around, shouting pain while peeking at Qi An, "Who is so blind, oops, don't leave if you hit someone!"
was full of anger, Qi An stood aside, didn't pick him up, and didn't care much about the eyes around him, just smiled and hugged his fists around, and then hugged his arms for a long time to look at the old man.
After shouting for a while, seeing that Qi An did not react, and no one came to join in the fun, the old man sat up boredly, tilted his neck and squinted at Qi An, and said: "Boy, I knocked down the old man, and I didn't come to help him?"
Seeing that the old man was no longer pretending, Qi An squatted down and said to him, "Old man, I see that you are very angry. The next time you touch porcelain, let's change your moves. ”
"Then what kind of move will I use next time?" the old man played a scoundrel, and the long gray hair on his chest was a little entangled by his splattering, but he didn't care, and still asked Qi An.
Shaking his head, Qi An didn't have time to entangle with him today, so he said, "At least you have to act like a little bit, right?" and then stood up and stretched out his hand, signaling to pull him up.
The old man hesitated, but also stretched out his hand to hold Qi An's right hand, and supported the ground with his left hand, wanting to stand up. But he didn't want to get up halfway, Qi An's hand suddenly let go, the old man was defenseless, and he fell firmly with a "poof". This time it really made him a little confused.
Encountering the blank eyes of the white-bearded old man, Qi An joked: "At least you have to act as real as me, right?"
The people around laughed and whispered information about the old man.
Qi An was in a hurry, and only heard some trivial words.
"This old guy comes to touch porcelain every day to play, but I didn't expect to plant it today!"
"This newcomer is good, he can make Lao You stunned!"
"It's worth coming here today, Lao You hunts geese every day, and today he was pecked in the eye by the geese. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qi An's straight back when he walked out, and his expression gradually became exciting. waved away the subordinates who wanted to come up to help, and the old man shouted at the guys around him who were laughing at him: "Get out! fuck me out, laugh at Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will go up to your house every day to touch porcelain!"
The people around him stopped laughing at him and continued to do their own thing. They know how powerful this old guy is, and although he is in his prime, he is very playful.
Relying on one-handed shape and meaning to make it fascinating.,Every time you do something tricky to the new members.。 And those who can come here to enjoy a cup of tea and a glass of wine are either deeply cultivated or cherish feathers, and it is difficult for them to really do anything to him because of such a trivial matter as a joke.
This makes this old guy's trick a joke that every new face must go through, and it is also the scene that everyone who looks forward to every time they see a new face. Unexpectedly, this time this old guy was planted in the hands of Qi An.
Qi An walked in a hurry, he didn't hear everyone's laughter, and naturally he didn't see the expression of the old man who touched porcelain gradually became more and more exciting.
Although this old man surnamed You is a fun-loving person, and he has a lot of old and indecent behaviors on weekdays, but his heart is like a mirror. He knew that he could enter this club, and the young ones had a little respect for him, and he would not do too much if he was teased, but because of his old and uncultivated playfulness, he successfully broke the ice and integrated here. In this way, everyone can become friends, and the older one will not do too much, and the other party will not be angry, and the two sides can laugh and chat happily.
But I have never met Qi An like this, knowing that it was a prank, but he was able to turn him into an army and give him a dismount, after all, everyone is kind and friendly.
This intrigued him. He decided to find a few old guys who knew him well to inquire about the identity and background of this kid, so that he could get in touch and make friends.
Dusting off his clothes with his hands and brushing off the dust on his coarse cloth coat, Old Man You took a big stride without waiting for others, and walked out with a golden sword. The pace is strong, and he walks like an old man who has been easily bumped into.
Over the next week, Zian went to the goth bar a few more times. Each time it was the same as in the previous year, except that there was always the feeling of being stared at, as if there were countless fine needles pierced behind you, which made people uncomfortable.
Qi An's five senses are so keen, he just listened carefully and heard those trivial whispers, most of them were the sequelae of the previous prank of touching porcelain, Qi An just listened to it and stopped caring about him.
But the old man hadn't appeared for a long time that day, and if you think about it carefully, it's right, how can there be an old man who soaks in the bar every day. The elderly always have the lifestyle of the elderly, whether it is carrying a cage and walking birds, waiting for flowers and plants, or sitting idly and tasting tea, playing games and talking, they always like to be quiet and do not like to move.
As soon as people get older, they will automatically be classified into two categories, one likes to be quiet, and the other likes to be lively. Although Qi An likes to go out from time to time to join in the fun, since Xu Wanqing bought him a computer, he can watch the excitement in that virtual world.
In addition, the opening of the small shop is imminent, and Qi An also needs to think about what he needs to do to open a small restaurant, so he gradually reduces the number of times he goes out.
After a week of living at home, bars, and occasionally going to Xu's house, Qi An's life's regular business opened.
