Chapter Twenty-Five: A Lonely Woman
"I only know a little bit about wine, and I don't know how to drink it!" Li Tian didn't expect Xu Yang's mother to like red wine, so he said modestly.
"Do you know the steps of wine tasting?" Wang Ya looked at Li Tian and said.
"Of course, look, shake, smell, taste. This is common sense that you should know even if you have a little knowledge of ordinary sake. Li Tian replied with a smile.
"That's right! The first is to look at the wine. Red wines are rich in color and have a variety of surnames and diverse surnames. Different red grape varieties produce red wines with different colours. Usually we use glasses without patterns, because it is odorless, so it does not affect the natural fruity aroma and aroma of the wine. In addition, because the glass is colorless, we can correctly judge the color of the sake. The older a red wine gets, the lighter it will become. The older a white wine gets, the darker it becomes.
The glass should have tall legs when shaking the wine, so that you can slowly shake the wine in the glass to reveal its special name. Avoid holding the glass with your hands, as this will affect the temperature of the wine due to the temperature of your hands.
Be careful when smelling the wine, and smell the wine without shaking it; The perceived smell is the "first smell" of the wine; When the wine glass is rotated and shaken before smelling the wine, the perceived smell at this time is the "second smell" of the wine, which more truly reflects the intrinsic quality of the wine.
Finally, the most satisfying part is the tasting. Take a sip of the red wine so that it spreads evenly in the mouth and do not swallow it yet. Let it roll in your mouth so that it fully touches the cells in your mouth in order to taste and judge its nuanced taste ......! In the listening of everyone, Xu Mu gave oral explanations to everyone and demonstrated at the same time, so that everyone sitting around couldn't help but have a sense of being taught. Especially when they saw Mother Xu's elegant movements, Guo Jing on the side was already stunned.
"Auntie doesn't know much about wine, and to be honest, it's the first time I've met someone in the past few years who knows so much about wine. Auntie, I respect you! Li Tian stood up, raised his glass with the red wine in his hand and touched Xu's mother, and drank the wine in the cup in one go.
"If you know wine, why did you pour it in all of a sudden? Didn't you say don't swallow it first? Xu Yang saw his mother drinking elegantly, but Li Tian looked like he was drinking, so he frowned and said.
"When drinking, you should also pay attention to the environment, and the way you drink varies from environment to environment. Speaking of drinking, in fact, the atmosphere determines everything, is my aunt right? Li Tian said to Xu Yang's mother with a smile.
"Xiao Li, I agree with this sentence. Yangyang, this sentence is right. Do you feel that the taste of one bite at a time in such a lively place will be suitable for such an atmosphere? People who don't know about wine won't understand the psychology of wine lovers like me and Xiao Li. You should also learn more, the process of drinking is also a process of enjoyment! After hearing Li Tian's words, Wang Ya agreed, and at the same time carried out some ideological education for her daughter. Let Li Tian, who was on the side, secretly proud.
'If you want to make a fool of me, you're still tender!' Li Tian thought with a smile.
"Okay Mom, if you keep talking, it's all going to be a drinking party. Let's start eating! When Xu Yang heard that his mother did not help him but helped the other party, he was very unhappy. Seeing the other party's smug smile again, she was even more unhappy, and hurriedly clipped a few pieces of tooth for her mother, hoping to stop the discussion of alcohol, because she knew that she was weak in this regard.
"Yes, we're here to eat roast duck, why do you talk about wine? Okay, everybody go ahead and eat. Mother Xu's surname was obviously very gentle, and she said to everyone with a smile.
At the dinner table, everyone was chatting while eating, because of the topic of wine just now, there was a lot less estrangement between everyone, and they began to chat without any care, and Guo Jing even pestered Xu's mother to let her teach her to taste wine. The little girl is petite and cute, and she is very cute when she goes there, and Mother Xu is of course no exception, and she is constantly laughing by Guo Jing, so much so that she forgets the daughters around her.
And Xu Yang didn't care about it so much, she and Li Tian kept confronting each other on words. Every time Li Tian said something and expressed some opinions, Xu Yang would refute it mercilessly, although his face was red, but he was also happy to do it. Li Tian didn't see the other party as a woman, and unceremoniously used words to destroy the other party, which can be described as hiding a knife in his smile and a gun in his mouth.
In the end, the heated conversation between the two also attracted the attention of everyone present, and everyone fell silent, looking at the two who were constantly arguing over a trivial matter. And Mother Xu didn't mean to interrupt, and looked at her daughter and the young man named Li Tian with a smile. Although she has only just come into contact, she has the same appreciation for Li Tian. A person's character can be seen from a person's wine surname.
The roast duck meal ended with the argument between Li Tian and Xu Yang, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. And Wang Gang's four men were also a little drunk, and Li Tian called a taxi to send them all home. Li Qing spent most of her time listening to everyone, so she was still very sober, and helped Guo Jing, who was a little drunk because of learning to taste wine, and left. Both of them lived in the same community, so Li Tian was very relieved to send both of them away. Mother Xu was very happy tonight, not only because she met Li Tian, a 'drinking friend' who had forgotten the year, but also accepted a drunkard-Guo Jing, so she was very happy, and her face turned red because of drinking, which was very charming. Left the hotel under Xu Yang's car.
In the end, only Li Tian and Zhou Min remained. Li Tian drank a good amount of wine, and his head was still very sober. And Zhou Min is not so good, I don't know why she has always been steady but finally drank several glasses of red wine. At this time, she was slightly drunk, her pretty face was flushed, her demeanor was charming, and her eyes were blurred, showing the beauty of a thirty-year-old mature woman to the fullest, so that Li Tian couldn't help but be stunned.
In the end, Li Tian helped Zhou Min to take her home in the car.
Zhou Min belongs to the standard white-collar workers, and his family lives on the sixth floor of a medium-block community, fortunately there is an elevator, otherwise Li Tianzhen doesn't know what to help the other party upstairs.
took out the key from Zhou Min's bag, after opening the door, he held Zhou Min with his right hand, and touched the wall back and forth with his left hand, this is the rule of every residence, and the switch will be near the door. Sure enough, as Li Tian expected, after finding the switch, turn on the light, Zhou Min's house is good, a hundred square meters, I really don't know how she can live alone for so long as a woman. It's okay when I go to work, but when I get home, I face the wall, how lonely it is.
Poured a glass of water for Zhou Min, let her drink it, and then helped her to the bedroom, took off her shoes and covered her with a thin quilt. Li Tiangang wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be held by the other party.
"Sister Zhou, do you still want to drink water? Red wine has a lot of stamina, and it will still taste good in the future! Li Tian said to Zhou Min with concern.
"Well, I didn't have anything when I said I drank, but now I'm dizzy! Xiao Li, I'm really bothering you, I want you to send me back so late! Zhou Min said to Li Tian with a smile with his hazy eyes.
"Look at me, none of us are outsiders. How do you feel now? Li Tian saw that the other party's head was gradually sweating, so he asked.
"My head hurts a little and my body is a little cold!" Zhou Min tightened and said to Li Tian.
After Li Tian heard this, he put his hand on the other party's forehead, the advantage was hot, it may have been caused by drinking and sweating a little just now, and then being blown by the evening breeze. Li Tian found the bathroom, found a hand towel dipped in hot water and put it on Zhou Min's forehead.
"Maybe it's a little cold, just take a break! Sister Zhou, you sleep well, I'm leaving! After Li Tian finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.
Looking at Li Tian's busy figure and concerned tone, Zhou Min didn't know what to say, and his heart was moved. She originally worked in Shanghai and had a good boyfriend, both of whom were already engaged, but it was found out that she couldn't get pregnant during the physical examination before marriage, which caused her beautiful life to change from then on.
The ruthless departure of her boyfriend and the strange eyes of her colleagues in the company made her not know what to do, so she quit her job and came to Yanjing without telling her family, hoping to start a new life, she didn't believe it, she couldn't live without a man. Since then, he has had some extreme thoughts about men and rejected countless suitors. As time passed, she had slowly forgotten the past.
But a woman, a thirty-year-old woman, a woman who needs to be loved, suffers from the loneliness and loneliness of a foreign land, although she is very good in the company, but as soon as she returns home, the loneliness and loneliness in the depths of her soul are filled with her whole psychology.
The most critical thing she thinks about every day is going to work, and the last thing she wants is going home.
Today I had dinner with my colleagues, and when I saw everyone's happy looks, I was happy and at the same time remembered the loneliness of going home, how she envied these people who had families. In the end, I unconsciously drank a few more glasses, hoping to numb myself with alcohol.
The young man in front of him, who is five years younger than himself, is very good, and in every way, it is the goal of a woman's dream. Especially after more than half a month of getting along, she has a good impression of this man. Sometimes he's very confident, and sometimes he's a little naughty. Sometimes it's very personable, sometimes it's a little childish. With that sturdy figure and handsome outside, her calm heart for six years is twisting and turning. Especially when I saw the other party's attentiveness and concern for myself just now, I couldn't help but be moved. At the same time, I secretly sighed why I didn't see him six years ago? If Jean makes himself a few years younger, then he will not hesitate to dedicate himself to her. And now, he may only think of himself as an older sister.
"Can you talk to me? I can't sleep now, I'm always lonely at home alone, if I don't dislike my old age, just stay a little longer! Zhou Min said to Li Tian with a pleading look, with a longing expression on his face.
