Chapter 42: Wine Tasting
In the dim light, a plush pale yellow carpet is laid on the wooden floor with a comfortable roughness; On the carpet, there is a heavy mahogany case, and there are three people and three dogs sitting next to the desk.
The three people are, naturally, Zhou Yi and his two French friends, Aina and Andrew; And the three dogs, one yellow, one black and one white, two big and one small, are the three dogs of Zhou Xiaohua.
Zhou Xiaohuang was still lazy, leaning tightly on Zhou Yi's legs, with a soft body, enjoying Aina's touch; Zhou Xiaohei and Zhou Xiaohua were playing on the side, having fun with Andrew.
Zhou Yi opened the oak cork that sealed the wine, and a very faint fruity aroma gushed out, although it was extremely light, but like music, people could not ignore it, and it was inhaled into the nostrils of several people present, savoring the information contained in it.
"I smell it, it's the fragrance of the girl, the fragrance of virginity! She was so light and green, but I couldn't refuse. Andrew had obviously drunk too much red wine, and the wine was as good as his nose, and he could describe it with the most appropriate words and phrases.
"It seems to be missing a little bit of tannin heaviness, perhaps, you can't keep this wine for too long? Although the fruity aroma is not strong, it is very characteristic and makes me want to taste it. Aina took a soft breath and said from a professional point of view, "Zhou, judging from the aroma of the wine, your wine has succeeded. It may not be the wine of those famous wines, but I think that with this not strong but extremely unique aroma, there is a place for her in the world of wine. ”
Without decanting, Zhou Yi poured some wine into everyone's glass.
The clear and slightly thin liquid, hovering in the crystal glass in the night light, released her fragrance to the fullest, revealing her figure, like a girl in a dress, dancing in the sun, turning her long skirt - the skirt must be pure ruby red!
Zhou Yigang poured three glasses of wine, felt his hand being touched, turned his head to look, and saw two dogs holding three glass bowls, signaling to him.
Zhou Xiaohuang's dog nose smelled the wine and raised his head; When Zhou Xiaohua and Xiao Hei were taking the bowl, they didn't forget this old brother and counted him in.
"Do you want to drink too? All right! Zhou Yi was also helpless to Sanwang, took the glass bowls, and poured half a bowl of wine into each bowl.
"What a funny kid!" Andrew looked at Sanwang and said.
He looked at the three dogs' smooth, satin-like fur that shimmered softly in the light, and continued, "Very beautiful dog, isn't it? What breed are they and why haven't I seen them before? Not even the slightest impression! ”
"I don't know what breed they are. In China, the bloodline of dogs is very complex, and it is difficult to trace the roots. Zhou Yi explained: "You are like Xiao Huang, in China, he has a scientific name called the Chinese Pastoral Dog, but in fact, his bloodline must not be summed up by one name, just like ......" Zhou Yi thought for a while, "Mixed race." You can hardly say what breed they are. ”
"If I could, I would have liked to have such a lovely child—their offspring?" Andrew looked at Zhou Yi and asked for his consent.
"They are different from ordinary dogs, they are full of spirituality; And, until now, there is no sign of reproduction. I don't know if they'll have offspring in the future, but if I could, I wouldn't want them to be separated from mother and son, or father and son. Of course, if they want to, I have no problem......" Zhou Yiwan refused.
Aina, who was sitting next to her, raised her wine glass at this time, gently rippling the wine in it, allowing the wine to fully contact with the air, constantly releasing her beauty and fragrance.
In this process, the aroma of the wine gradually became thicker, and the originally thin wine color also turned thicker, like a girl who gradually matured and grew up.
Although she grew up, she was still a young girl. To become a truly mature woman, she still has a long time to go through and needs years to plump up.
"It's so pure and fragrant, I didn't expect her to release it so quickly. I'm a little worried that the excessive release of aromas will not affect the quality of the wine itself. The moment Aina raised her glass, all she could see was wine. At this time, she is more like a professional taster.
She brought her nose close to the mouth of the glass, and took a deep breath in the rich aroma of the wine, allowing the aroma of the wine to infiltrate all the most sensitive olfactory cells in the nose, and felt it carefully, "Very pure wine aroma - pure fruity aroma, it seems that it is too pure, something is missing." ”
"What is it......" Aina muttered to herself, pondering hard. That thing was clearly about to come out of my mind, but it was separated by a membrane, blocking and wrapping it in the depths of my mind, and it couldn't emerge.
"Oak!" Zhou Yi replied, "I didn't use oak barrels to brew. ”
Zhou Yi's words pierced Aina's mind like a bolt of lightning, pierced the layer of frosted paper in her brain, and what was about to come out was immediately revealed, "Yes! That's it - oak barrels! It's hard to imagine how you could make wine without oak barrels! ”
"No wonder there is no heavy tannin aroma, it turns out that the presence of oak barrels is missing!" The question in Aina's heart was explained at once.
She smelled the pure fruitiness and, for some reason, was more and more eager to taste the wine that had not been bred in oak barrels - perhaps she was not so pleasant, but it was enough to pique her curiosity, especially when the aromas and intensifying colors of the wine had come to life.
Pouring the wine glass slightly, the increasingly thick jewel-colored liquor began to leak from the mouth of the glass as the wine glass was poured, falling between the red lips, and blending with the bright red lip color, just like the red face of a shy girl, which became more and more vivid with the warmth of the lips.
The wine fell into her mouth, the stimulation of the slight astringency, and the dryness of the mouth, made her frown, but soon, the rich and intense aroma of the wine diffused her, and the wine became soft, although it still had astringency, but it was not enough to make him frown; In the greenness, there is a sour like a green apple, but in this acidity, there is an extremely secret sweetness......
In the midst of this sourness and sweetness, a very subtle sensation came out, and Aina could not help but lose her mind—she thought of her first love, of her first kiss, of her first sex and love, of her first touch of a man's body, of her first love—and it was so sour......
This feeling and experience had been sinking into the depths of her mind for a long, long time, but she didn't expect that a not-so-good memory that she thought she would never recall would suddenly and suddenly fill her whole mind, making her distracted and overwhelmed.
Maybe it's because of the growth of age, or maybe it's because people have experienced more and more mature, but when that picture that she didn't want to recall resurfaced, she didn't feel so embarrassed and bitter, but there was a faint nostalgia and aftertaste in it.
Everyone has that experience, doesn't they?
I don't know how long it took for Aina to wake up from her distraction, under the clear yellow light, the characters are still the same, different, only she has collected her feelings.
Zhou Yi is too cautious and rational about his feelings, so to this day, he still doesn't have a girl, but who really doesn't have her in his dreams?
It's just that even if Zhou Yi has enough ability, time and money now, he didn't think about looking for it, because he knew that dreams and reality were different; Since it's a dream, let's keep it young and beautiful forever!
Andrew does not have Aina's sensitivity or Zhou Yi's feelings, but is more of a man's "rudeness".
"Oh, Zhou, I think your wine needs to be stored for a while to allow it to fully mature. It was so green that it reminded me of the first woman I had sex with, and it was so uninteresting that it almost grinded me out! Andrew licked the remaining liquor in his mouth and said dissatisfiedly, "I haven't touched a woman in three years since that time." Oh my god – I wasted three years of precious time because of an imperfect experience! ”
"I love mature women! And not this, Zhou, you know ......" Andrew gestured as he raised the wine in his hand.
Before he could finish his sentence, a stream of cold liquor poured over his head, and the strong aroma of wine enveloped him, leaving red liquor from his face and flowing all the way to his crotch, making him shiver with cold.
He looked at Aina, who raised her glass, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Oh-Aina, what are you doing?" Have I offended you? "Andrew clearly didn't know what he was doing wrong.
"No, you didn't offend me." Aina picked up an entire bottle of wine with her other hand and poured it over Andrew's head, who was still stunned, "I just look down on shit like you!" -raised! She shouted excitedly, and under her fair skin, the blue-black blood veins were swelling out.
It wasn't until she had poured an entire bottle of wine that Aina regained her composure.
She looked at the carpet that was littered and stained with liquor. She looked at Zhou Yi apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, I will compensate for your loss!" Maybe you should give me a bill for spending......"
――――
Regarding the update of this book, it is basically fixed in the evening, one chapter per day, ranging from two thousand to six thousand words. In each chapter, I try to write as little as possible about the scene.
There are indeed some flaws in the early stages of this book; In the future, I try my best to write a complete story, and less to express my feelings or carry private goods.
Thank you for the recommendation votes of friends such as "Yimeng Prodigal Son"!
