Chapter 187: Tavern
The discrepancy in time made Gao Hongsheng helpless to wait for a week before he could wait for the arrival of the new moon number.
Men are always idle, and although Gao Hongsheng is a standard otaku, it is impossible for you to stay at home at the end of the nineteenth century.
What can you do at home when you don't have a computer, no TV, no radio, and even the lighting is a pitiful gaslamp? It's not lonely enough to drive yourself crazy.
If you add the rows of wine glasses on the large counter, the bottles with faucet-like taps, the tin measuring vessels, and the large light yellow barrels around the hall, you think this is not a tavern?
At the back of the counter and on the multi-tiered shelves to the top, bottles of shochu are lined up in layers, and there are jars of colorful canned fruit and other small bottles of various nuts.
A fat man with sparse blond hair in a sleeve and shoulder and sleeves stood behind the counter, pressed his hands on the pale yellow counter, looked at the black-haired yellow man standing in the doorway with his somewhat blue eyes, and greeted him in French in a friendly manner when he saw that he was a little hesitant.
Gao Hongsheng didn't understand what he was talking about, but looking at his friendly smile, he could understand that he was probably greeting him, and he was not polite, he smiled at the boss, walked to the front of the counter and stretched out his hand to pull a high round stool, sat on it, and looked at the bottles containing red liquid in the most conspicuous position on the shelf behind the counter.
The boss paused for a moment, then understood, took down a bottle full of red liquid, then took out a goblet under the counter, and then poured out the red liquid from the bottle and handed it to Gao Hongsheng.
Gao Hongsheng picked up the glass and smelled it, a familiar taste of wine came to his nose, he half-raised his glass at the boss, and then poured the wine in the glass into his stomach with a crane, and then grabbed the wine bottle in the boss's hand, poured himself a new glass, stretched out his thumb to the boss, and said with a smile in Chinese: "Not bad, very good wine." ”
Gao Hongsheng's Chinese-style wine drinking method is really somewhat unexpected, and the praise words he said in Chinese made the fat boss stand there, but he reacted quickly, and understood that he probably praised his wine well, so he just reacted after a while, and also stretched out his thumb and gestured at Gao Hongsheng.
Gao Hongsheng smiled and said, "Can you have a drink with me?" After speaking, he pointed to his cup, pointed to the fat boss with a smile on his face, and then made a gesture of holding the cup and drinking with his hand.
The fat boss didn't understand it at first, and didn't react until Gao Hongsheng did it a second time, and took out an identical goblet from under the counter with a smile and put it on the counter.
Gao Hongsheng picked up the wine bottle that was drawn to him and filled it with the wine glass for the fat boss, then raised his wine glass to the boss, and was just about to pour the wine in the wine glass into his mouth, but the fat boss stretched out his hand to stop him.
Then I saw the fat boss smile and say something to himself, and then I saw the fat boss smile and raise the wine glass, shook the wine glass slightly, and then put the mouth of the wine glass under the nose and sniffed it, paused slightly, as if to taste the fragrance of the wine, and then carefully took a small sip, and then slowly swallowed the wine very enjoyably.
Gao Hongsheng looked at the fat boss's enjoyment after drinking, and laughed softly, this boss is so cute, he is actually teaching himself how to drink wine.
Gao Hongsheng shook his head at the somewhat suspicious fat boss, stretched out his palm and shook back and forth at the fat boss and said in English: "No," and then said in Chinese: "Yours is your way of drinking, drinking in China should be like me, look." After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine glass, still tilted his neck and poured the whole glass into his mouth, then laughed, and gestured to the boss with the empty glass to drink, so that the boss could drink the wine in the wine glass in his own way.
The fat boss guessed what Gao Hongsheng wanted to do at once, smiled helplessly at him, and then drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp like Gao Hongsheng.
Seeing the boss give face like this, Gao Hongsheng was also very happy, excitedly stretched out his hand to the boss and stretched out his thumb, then poured two cups full, raised his own cup and touched the boss's cup gently, and said: "It's done," and poured a glass of wine into his stomach with a tilt of his neck.
Seeing that Gao Hongsheng was so bold, the fat boss couldn't help but smile and pick up the wine glass, learned the Chinese "dry" and drank it with his neck up.
Then Gao Hongsheng spoke Chinese, babbling a few words of Chinese, and then raised his glass and shouted "dry" to have such a glass.
The fat boss was very familiar with the chatter, and also shouted such a half-baked Chinese: "dry" to say a glass, and the two of them poured a large bottle of wine into their stomachs after a while.
Wine is the best medium for men to communicate, after the two bottles of wine are down, Gao Hongsheng has become a pair of friends with the boss who can laugh and shout with a little drunk, although neither of the two can understand each other's words, but this does not prevent them from continuing to drink the third bottle.
Anyway, it is still a long time before the guests come at noon, and the fat boss is very willing to accompany a bold guest to drink a few bottles.
When it was almost noon, Gao Hongsheng's little follower came, and as soon as the little guy entered the door, he saw Gao Hongsheng, a person he had never seen before, a yellow man with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.
In fact, he had heard from other children that the yellow race was a monster with a tail, and now that there was a ready-made one in front of him, of course he had to look for it.
But soon he was disappointed, this yellow man had no tail, and at the same time, this yellow man seemed to be very kind to himself, and directly let his stingy father take a lot of nuts for himself.
Gao Hongsheng really likes this doll that has circled around him several times, if he knew that this child was looking for his tail, it might be a different situation.
But he didn't know any of this, he thought that the child liked him very much, and he didn't care about spending a few more dollars to satisfy his preferences, so he pointed to the large jars full of nuts on the shelves behind the counter, and asked for several things that he didn't know the name of, and gave them to this doll.
At the same time, after seeing that the child's old clothes with patches turned out to be coarse linen, he half-jokingly directly gave the child a Chinese name; "Sack Sheet".
The child was not at all interested in what his Chinese name was, what he dared to be interested in was the nuts that this yellow man gave him, and the result was that he found that as long as he circled around this yellow man for so many times, he could always mix all kinds of food, and then the sad Gao Hongsheng had such a small follower.
Three days later, he mixed a new dress with this yellow man, but Gao Hongsheng felt that this doll pestering him was too torn, which damaged his image as a rich man.
