Chapter 928: A Good Wine for the Occasion
At noon, Shen Zhenxin came to the VIP box of the King Hotel as promised, and Du Ziji was already waiting there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Shen Zhenxin stared at Du Ziji dressed casually and with a smile on his face, not like a meeting between the head of one country and an envoy from another country, but like two old friends meeting for dinner, which made Shen Zhenxin stunned. Seeing Shen Zhenxin, Du Ziji hurriedly stood up from the sofa, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Mr. Ambassador, you are really punctual!" Shen Zhenxin smiled, shook Du Ziji's outstretched hand, and said, "Mr. President invited, Shen dare not be punctual?" Haha...... "If it comes, it will be safe." Today's performance is very different from that of the past, and there must be something strange about it. Although Shen Zhenxin couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Du Ziji's gourd, but improvisation was the minimum skill of a diplomat, and Shen Zhenxin quickly became calm and ready to act at the opportunity.
After the two were seated, the waiter quickly brought the food up. Shen Zhenxin looked at it fixedly, and smiled secretly in his heart, this Du Ziji is quite caring, not only is the table full of Chinese dishes, but also because Shen Zhenxin is from Shandong, he specially prepared the famous dishes of the Lu family. Shen Zhenxin has been away from home for many years and has not tasted the taste of his hometown for a long time. Du Ziji smiled slightly, and said faintly: "Mr. Ambassador, I have taken great pains to invite you to this meal. Shen Zhenxin nodded with a smile and said, "You can see it, you can see it." ā
Du Ziji smiled, raised his hand and said, "Then please ask Mr. Ambassador to taste it and see if it is 'authentic or not'." Du Ziji's Huaxia words were a little stiff, and this sentence came out of his mouth, which made Shen Zhenxin a little unbearable. Hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, took a mouthful of mushu meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and praised it repeatedly: "Authentic!" It's authentic! Hehe...... It's been a long time since I've eaten hometown food. Mr. President, I really want to ask, where did you find such a chef of Lu cuisine? Even if it is placed in Huaxia, it is still the top level! When Du Ziji heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, if Mr. Ambassador likes it, then I will simply hand him over to you, and you can take it back to the Huaxia Embassy, so that you can eat hometown food every day!" ā
Du Ziji's generosity surprised Shen Zhenxin, and he looked at him and asked, "Mr. President, ...... you" Du Ziji also realized that he was a little too enthusiastic, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ambassador, don't misunderstand." I did this to express my apologies. ā
"Excuse me?" Shen Zhenxin asked with some confusion. Du Ziji let out a long sigh and said, "It's all my godson, not a good father." That's why Kidom is so arrogant, I don't know the depths, Huaxia and his party have added so much trouble to your country! "What Kidhom did in Huaxia, Shen Zhenxin had also heard of, was a bit excessive and bastard. But this matter has passed 800 years ago, is it necessary for Du Ziji to bring it up today? Speculating about Du Ziji's intentions in his heart, Shen Zhenxin said: "Mr. President, our leader has mentioned this matter to me, and I also know a rough idea. Kidom is young and amorous, and there is nothing to blame. Although there are some inappropriate words and deeds, who doesn't have a young Meng Lang? The matter has passed, and there is no need to mention it again, Mr. President, the friendly relations between China and Saudi Arabia are the most important thing! ā
After hearing this, Du Ziji nodded again and again, raised his glass and smiled: "Come, let's toast to the friendship between China and Saudi Arabia!" As he spoke, he drank all the wine from his glass. Shen Zhenxin hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Mr. President, the wine you drink is called Erguotou in our Huaxia, it is a very strong and spicy wine, you can't drink it like beer, you will get drunk!" "Today, in order to cater to Shen Zhenxin's taste, Du Ziji even specially prepared the original Beijing Erguotou with wine, and he was so excited just now that he almost forgot about it. If such a glass of wine were to be poured into his stomach like this, he would have to fry it with the amount of alcohol he had. Du Ziji laughed a few times, took a sip carefully, and his brows immediately locked deeply, but his mouth said repeatedly: "Good wine, good wine!" ā
Shen Zhenxin knew that Du Ziji was insincere, shook his head, put the second pot head in his hand aside and said: "Mr. President, the liquor in China is far earlier than the red wine in the West, and its inherent charm is far better than that of wine, which needs to be tasted slowly and carefully aftertasted. At first, you may be a little uncomfortable, but that's okay, I just brought a bottle of wine with me today, so I'll have someone bring it to you, so please try it. Regardless of whether Du Ziji agrees or not, he opened his mouth and called Xiao Li, who was waiting outside. Xiao Li, bring me the bottle of Longquan wine in my car. ā
Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and said with some reluctance: "Mr. Ambassador, you have always been reluctant to drink it, and the bottle of wine that you deliberately saved is only this one bottle left, do you really want to take it out?" The bottle of Longquan wine on Shen Zhenxin's car was also a gift brought to Shen Zhenxin from his hometown by a staff member of the embassy when he returned from his home vacation. Shen Zhenxin is a native of the Northeast, and he doesn't have any ** habits, so he can drink a little wine. No matter who has the opportunity to return to China, he will bring back a few bottles of liquor from his hometown. The staff member didn't drink alcohol, and his knowledge of baijiu stopped at knowing that baijiu was spicy. Originally, it was like bringing a few bottles of traditional wine Wuliangye, Moutai or something, but when I went to the supermarket, I found that the hottest wine sold now is Longquan Liquor, as for Wuliangye and Moutai, they have long taken a back seat, picking up the leftovers of Longquan Liquor, and stealing their lives.
The staff was also fresh for a while, and brought back a few bottles of Longquan wine. When he first saw this wine, in addition to the gorgeous packaging, Shen Zhenxin was a little unimpressed. But when the first bottle of Longquan wine was opened at a dinner party for all embassy staff, Shen Zhenxin's attitude immediately changed. After drinking wine all my life, what wine is good and what wine is not good, you don't need to taste it, you can distinguish it from ten by smelling it. When the cork was opened, and the rich and fragrant aroma of wine spread, Shen Zhenxin couldn't help but shiver.
And when the turquoise elixir jade liquid was poured into the ceramic wine glass, not only Shen Zhenxin, but everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Emerald green, ice and snow white, the two complement each other, complement each other, like art, people are a little unbearable to drink. Until now, Shen Zhenxin still clearly remembers his feelings when he first saw Longquan Fine Wine. It was an indescribable pleasure that came from the depths of the soul and spread through the whole body like an electric wave. It makes him happier and more excited than winning a diplomatic lawsuit and winning back the honor for the country. In the past, Shen Zhenxin drank with irrigation. When a glass of wine is poured down, the mouth is full of spiciness, and the chest is full of heat, and the feeling is called pleasure. In the face of Longquan wine, Shen Zhenxin changed it. A small sip after a small bite, a mouth full of aroma, a heart full of set. What you drink is no longer wine, but a taste, an attitude towards life.
The mellow Longquan wine seems to have a kind of magic, which can pick up the good memories that people have forgotten, accompanied by a long and long aroma of wine, which slowly flashes in the mind. That kind of beautiful feeling once made Shen Zhenxin burst into tears, and he felt that all the wine he had drunk all his life was in vain. That night, Shen Zhenxin did something for the first time that made him uneasy. With his power as an ambassador, he simply took the few bottles of Longquan wine in his arms. A small glass a day, and only this last bottle is left today. Xiao Li knew how precious this Longquan wine was to Shen Zhenxin, so he was very hesitant.
"Tsk, you didn't hear what I said or what?" Seeing that Xiao Li didn't move his steps for a long time, Shen Zhenxin turned his head to look at him with some dissatisfaction and asked. Xiao Li shook his head helplessly, the Northeast man is not good at all, if it is right for his taste, he can twist his head off for you. Handing over the last bottle of Longquan wine to Shen Zhenxin, Xiao Li muttered softly, "Ambassador, don't regret it!" Shen Zhenxin frowned, shook his hand and said, "Okay, there's nothing to do with you here!" As he spoke, he opened the box with a very solemn expression.
The outer packaging of Longquan Liquor was originally designed by Li Xiaogang, showing a kind of dignity and mystery everywhere, and has won many domestic design awards. With such an extraordinary packaging, Du Ziji couldn't help but hold his breath and watched tightly, as if this Longquan wine had wings and would fly away at any time. "Mr. Ambassador, I have drunk a lot of wine, but those wines, the packaging alone is far inferior to this bottle, I seem to have felt that it is extraordinary!" Shen Zhenxin smiled and said, "Extraordinary? It's not just extraordinary, after you taste it for a while, you'll understand! Saying that, Shen Zhenxin vigorously unscrewed the cap of the bottle. Smelling the familiar fragrance again, Shen Zhenxin couldn't help but close his eyes, twitch his nose, and took a long breath, his face filled with pottery.
Du Ziji couldn't help but take a sip, and the rich aroma of wine went down his nostrils and into his heart, as if a small hand was scratching his itch, which made his heart flutter, and he muttered with surprise: "It's so fragrant and special, better than anything I've smelled!" "Compared with the spicy and strong of Erguotou, Longquan wine is softer and gentler. But the fine taste is also soft and rigid, rigid and soft. Shen Zhenxin has sighed more than once that the master who made this wine has superb skills, and I am afraid that it has surpassed the ancient and modern times. If he knew that Li Xiaogang's understanding of wine was superficial, and it was a small wine heart grass that became the supreme flavor of Longquan Wine, I don't know how he would feel.
Du Ziji is not good at drinking, and in some necessary entertainment, he just touches his lips, anyway, he is the president, and no one dares to have an opinion. But today is different, when the nose is filled with the mysterious aroma of wine, Du Ziji feels that in his body, something seems to have come back to life, and he is not moving, so he can't help but focus his attention completely on Longquan wine. Seeing Du Ziji's eyes staring directly at Longquan Wine, he didn't move. Shen Zhenxin smiled bitterly, and secretly said in his heart: "This Longquan wine is really magical, even people who have never drunk Huaxia liquor can't help but be attracted by it." ā
