Chapter 30: Heartache
Grandpa Qin Yuqing's words were too ambiguous, and as soon as the words came out, Qin Yuqing's pretty face turned red, and he said angrily: "Grandpa, is there anyone like you who speaks?" ”
Not only Qin Yuqing, but even Chen Jun was a little embarrassed by Grandpa Qin Yuqing's words. ~~(hand-hitting)~~|/|
Qin Yuqing's grandfather laughed and said loudly: "Let's go, go to the restaurant to eat." After saying this, Qin Yuqing's grandfather walked out first.
Qin Yuqing gently tugged at Chen Jun's sleeve and motioned for him to follow.
Chen Jun grinned and quickly followed with Qin Yuqing. When he came out of the living room, Chen Jun found that the last time he came, he saw the old man surnamed Li walking quickly in the opposite direction to himself
"Grandpa Li is the old housekeeper of our family." Qin Yuqing explained to Chen Jun in a low voice.
"Old butler?" Chen Jun repeated these three words in his heart, but he remembered his old housekeeper. A smile appeared on his face.
Chen Jun followed Qin Yuqing's grandfather through the long corridor and into a house in the east. After entering, Chen Jun found that the area of this room was not very large, only about 20 square meters. There was a table of eight immortals that looked very old in the room, and it was equipped with four chairs.
"Sit down." Qin Yuqing's grandfather asked Chen Jun to take a seat.
Chen Jun smiled and said, "Old man, you should sit on this seat." ”
After Qin Yuqing's grandfather sat down in the first seat, he said, "Okay, you're welcome, sit down." It's just that your title sounds a little awkward to me, with my age, you don't suffer if you call me 'Grandpa Qin', right? ”
"Uh, Grandpa Qin." Chen Jun responded and sat opposite Qin Yuqing.
As soon as the three of them sat down, a servant brought a plate of food to the table. It's a simple four-course green dish with a soup to take. When Qin Yuqing's grandfather opened the bottle of liquor sealed with an unknown name, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, and Chen Jun couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Qin Yuqing smiled and took the wine bottle in his grandfather's hand and poured a glass of white wine for the two of them.
"Young man, you're in for a good night, this bottle of wine is twenty years old." Qin Yuqing's grandfather said with a smile: "This wine was brewed by me myself twenty years ago. ”
Chen Jun showed a look of surprise and said, "Twenty years? It's still brewed by itself, no wonder it's such a fragrant wine. ”
"Come, come, let's have three toasts first." Qin Yuqing's grandfather picked up his wine glass and said. ~~et~~
Chen Jun hurriedly picked up the small wine glass in front of him, clinked glasses with Qin Yuqing's grandfather, and then drank the liquor in the glass.
"It's good wine." Chen Jun praised from the bottom of his heart: "The color of the wine is crystal clear and transparent, slightly yellow, slightly viscous, elegant and delicate in taste, and the fragrance does not disperse, it is really a good wine." ”
Hearing Chen Jun say this, Qin Yuqing's grandfather was even happier and said, "I didn't expect you to know wine, it's good, it's very good." ”
"I don't dare to say that I understand tea, I still dare to say that I understand this wine." Chen Jun and Qin Yuqing's grandfather said after another drink.
"Really?" Qin Yuqing interjected and asked at this time.
Chen Jun said with a smile: "I used to drink a lot abroad, so I know a little more about wine. ”
"You also drink liquor a lot abroad?" Qin Yuqing's grandfather interjected and asked at this time.
Chen Jun replied: "It's not that I drink it often, I often drink it in foreign bars." However, when it comes to liquor, I'm a bit more enthusiastic. Therefore, I often buy more liquor when I have the opportunity. ”
"Then you must know about foreign wine?" Qin Yuqing's grandfather asked at this time.
"yes." Chen Jun had another toast with Qin Yuqing's grandfather.
Qin Yuqing's grandfather smiled: "That's right, I have a bottle of foreign wine given by others, and I don't understand this thing, you can help me see what kind of wine it is, whether it's real or fake." ”
"No problem." Chen Jun agreed. Qin Yuqing immediately got up and walked out of this restaurant, and soon walked back again, holding a bottle of wine in his hand.
Chen Jun stared at the bottle of red wine from far and near, and then transferred it from Qin Yuqing's hand to his own hand, Chen Jun didn't seem to believe that this bottle of wine would appear in his hand.
"This, this is Lafite in '82." Chen Jun carefully put the bottle of Lafite on the table and said.
"Is it genuine?" Qin Yuqing looked at Chen Jun curiously and said, "I also know that it is Lafite, but I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Chen Jun nodded very seriously and said, "It's definitely genuine." ”
"Valuable?" Seeing Chen Jun's cautious look, Qin Yuqing's grandfather asked suspiciously.
Chen Jun said: "According to the price of Lafite in recent years, this bottle of wine is around tens of thousands of yuan. However, it is still priceless and difficult to buy. ”
"Just this bottle of wine, worth tens of thousands of yuan? Still hard to buy? Are foreign devils' things so expensive? Qin Yuqing's grandfather said puzzledly: "No wonder he only gave me such a bottle at the beginning, I also said that he was stingy, and he didn't give two bottles as a gift, so he made a good deed." ”
Chen Jun and Qin Yuqing were speechless at the same time.
"Okay, I'll give it to you, and you can take it away before leaving." Qin Yuqing's grandfather waved his hand very generously and said, "Hurry up and eat, or the dishes will be cold." ”
"It's too expensive, I can't afford it." Chen Jun hurriedly refused.
"What is precious or not, I don't drink this thing, and it's a waste to throw it here." Qin Yuqing's grandfather said disappreciatively: "Since you understand, I'll give it to you." ”
Chen Jun wanted to refuse again, but Qin Yuqing's grandfather lowered his face and said, "Don't shirk anymore, if you refuse, you will look down on me." ”
Hearing Grandpa Qin Yuqing say this, Chen Jun had no choice but to look at Qin Yuqing with a wry smile, but saw Qin Yuqing purse his lips and smile, sit down and continue to eat, and poured wine glasses for the two of them by the way.
These four green dishes are extremely delicious, coupled with this bottle of old wine from Grandpa Qin Yuqing, Chen Jun eats this meal very comfortably.
After dinner, Chen Junshao sat for a while and then got up to say goodbye, Qin Yuqing's grandfather said at this time: "Qing'er, don't forget to bring him that bottle of wine when you send him out." ”
Qin Yuqing smiled lightly, nodded and agreed, and took the bottle of '82-year-old Lafite to send Chen Jun out.
"I can't accept such a valuable gift." Chen Jun stood outside the door and said to Qin Yuqing.
"Take it." Qin Yuqing stuffed the wine into Chen Jun's arms and said, "It's like my grandfather said, he doesn't drink red wine, and it's a waste to put it here." Besides, if I bring it back, I will be scolded by my grandfather. ”
"Okay, just leave it with me first, and I'll bring it back when your grandfather wants it." Chen Jun had no choice but to accept this expensive bottle of Lafite.
"I'll send you back." Qin Yuqing shook the car key in his hand and said.
"It's late, I'll go back by myself," Chen Jun said with a smile.
Qin Yuqing thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you should be careful on your own road." ”
"Well, it's fine." Chen Jun said, turning around and walking towards the way he came.
"By the way, do you have time the day after tomorrow?" Qin Yuqing remembered something, caught up with Chen Jun and asked.
Chen Jun turned around and said, "There should be time, is there something?" ”
"Then you will accompany me to a banquet the night after tomorrow, right?" Qin Yuqing's expectant gaze swirled on Chen Jun's face.
Chen Jun nodded and said, "Okay, you can call me then." As he spoke, he left his phone number to Qin Yuqing.
This time Qin Yuqing really didn't have anything else to do, Chen Jun walked home alone, looked at the bottle of wine in his hand, and said to himself: "Hey, just rush at you, I can't refuse others." ”
Qin Yuqing, who returned to the ancestral house, saw his grandfather standing in the living room.
"Gone?" Qin Yuqing's grandfather looked at Qin Yuqing and asked.
Qin Yuqing nodded, and replied.
"They're definitely not alone." Qin Yuqing's grandfather said at this time.
Hearing his grandfather say this, the smile on Qin Yuqing's face became even brighter.
"But, at the end of the day, you may be more sad." Qin Yuqing's grandfather sighed and said.
Qin Yuqing asked puzzledly, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?" ”
"I can't read him." Qin Yuqing's grandfather said lightly: "A very deep young man." ”
"Why don't I think so?" Qin Yuqing looked at his grandfather and asked.
Qin Yuqing's grandfather touched Qin Yuqing's head lovingly and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this." One goes, another comes, this is destined to be your fate, destined for you to bear. ”
Qin Yuqing nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't know what to say.
"Hey." Qin Yuqing's grandfather sighed heavily for a while, and said with a heartache: "My eighty-two years of Lafite, just give it away." ”
"Grandpa" Qin Yuqing said dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that in your heart, your granddaughter is not as good as such a bottle of wine?" ”
"Hehe, hehe." Qin Yuqing's grandfather only smiled bitterly: "As before, don't talk about it to your parents." ”
"yes, I see." Qin Yuqing nodded again in agreement.
"Alright, it's not early, let's go rest." Qin Yuqing's grandfather said to Qin Yuqing again.
Seeing his granddaughter's figure disappear, Qin Yuqing's grandfather said to himself: "The biggest pain in the world is to give away your most cherished bottle of wine, right?" ”
