Chapter 204: Bitter Wine
Lu Jinping was a little disappointed, but when Ning Yan said this, this wine aroused his curiosity.
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but move in her heart when she heard this, she was worried that there would be some conspiracy inside, so she asked the coachman who stopped on the shore to bring the lanterns on the carriage and hang them on the trees.
Both lanterns were taken and hung on the tree, one on each side, but the light of the lanterns was dim, and it could only shine a little hazy.
Lu Jinping said: "Isn't this starlight? If you are lying on the grass at night and are looking at the stars, you have to take two lanterns to cover the stars. ”
"If you have lights, you can see the stars, and without lights, you can't see some things." Ye Qingqing recognized something, even Lu Jinping couldn't make him change, and Lu Jinping shook his head helplessly.
Soon the maid took a small jar of wine and a few bronze wine glasses, walked over quickly, and placed the wine glasses in front of him to pour wine.
Stared at Lu Jinping and said, "Taste, this wine may not be the same as what you drank before, and I don't know if you are used to drinking it." ”
Lu Jinping picked up the wine glass and was slightly stunned, because the wine glass seemed to be jade, but it was not like ordinary jade, because the hand was very cold, as if touching a piece of ice, but in this hot summer night, it was not bad to have this feeling.
"It's not warm yet, but it feels cool."
Ning Yan picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "If you like it, you can dry it in one gulp." ”
Lu Jinping smiled and said: "It's like being chilled, and drinking it to relieve the heat." With that, he tilted his neck and poured a glass of wine into his mouth.
But as soon as the wine entered his mouth, he felt bad, because his mouth was full of bitterness, and this bitterness was indescribable. It's been bitter to the bone. I don't feel the taste of wine at all. He has never tasted Coptis chinensis, so he doesn't know if the bitterness of Coptis chinensis is like this? However, he was sure that all the bitter tastes he had tasted since he was a child did not add up to the bitterness of this sip of wine.
He was hesitating whether to spit it out or swallow it, and that was at that moment. Seeing Yunzi learn from him, after pouring a glass of wine into his mouth, he immediately spit out all the wine in his mouth with a bang. "Oh, what the hell is this so bitter?" Where is this wine, it's clearly medicine, phew! ”
Yunzi spat while sticking out her tongue and frowning. He wanted to find something else to drink. But no, so three steps and two steps to the river, squatting down with his hand to drink the green and quiet river water, rinsed his mouth and spit it out, after several washes, but the mouth is still a mouthful of bitterness, even the tongue is bitter.
Ye Qingqing didn't drink the wine yet, and quickly put down the wine glass when he saw this. looked at Lu Jinping nervously and said, "Spit it out, beware of poison in the wine!" ”
Lu Jinping was hesitant to spit it out. Seeing Yunzi vomiting the wine, he felt that it didn't seem good for him to vomit too, which would be too shameful for Ning Yan. And now Ye Qingqing bluntly said that if he was careful, it would be poisonous, and he would quickly vomit it, if he really vomited at this time, wouldn't it prove that he suspected that the wine of the girl with condensing eyes was poisonous?
He didn't believe that his eyes were poisoning the wine. Because, judging from the previous action of condensing his eyes pulling him to disperse quickly, condensing his martial arts are still quite good, and he doesn't need to poison himself if he wants to kill himself. Moreover, there is no need to be poisoned so bitterly. Such a bitter poison is used as a poison to poison people, so who will swallow it in the stomach? It would certainly fail to poison people if it was spit out, so he concluded that it should be a bitter wine.
So, he stiffened his head, swallowed the wine in his stomach with a grunt, and couldn't help frowning and smiling bitterly and said, "Oh, it's so bitter." ”
Gazing was still expressionless, casually put a glass of wine into his mouth and drank it slowly. Then, he put the wine glass back on the grass, and even the willow eyebrows did not stir a little, as if he had drunk only a glass of bland boiled water, and not bitter wine that broke people's hearts.
Lu Jinping couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that his gaze was nothing, and said, "You are really powerful, but you have nothing to do with such bitter wine." ”
"Can this wine still be edible?" Gaze asked in a flat tone, without any emotion.
Lu Jinping was reminded by her, and found that the bitter wine he had swallowed in his stomach went down his throat to his stomach, and then began to steam and diverge. The cool air slowly dissipated to the limbs, and the heat on the body retreated under the pressure of the cool air, and in a moment the chest and abdomen were cold, and the heat that I felt before also dissipated most of it, and I couldn't help but praise: "Okay, this wine is the best to go to the summer, it's really a baby, but it's a little bitter, why don't you add some honey or something?" ”
Ning Yan didn't seem to hear Lu Jinping's proposal, but just said, "Since the lord thinks that he can still eat, then let's have another drink." ”
The maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pour another cup for Lu Jinping, and looked at Yunzi at the same time.
Yunzi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, I don't drink this thing, I'm dying of bitterness, and I mean you guys who are asking for hardship." ”
The maid looked at Ye Qingqing again. Ye Qingqing's expression was very weird, so she decided that it would be better not to drink, at least to keep herself sober, if there was really a problem with this wine, she must first restrain this staring girl, force her to come up with an antidote, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm most afraid of bitterness, I still don't drink it." ”
The maid was about to pour the wine back into the wine jug, and Lu Jinping said, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll drink it for him." He reached over with a smile, picked up a glass of wine in front of Ye Qingqing, and poured it directly into his throat with a tilt of his neck. Because he knows that the bitter taste is borne by the buds of the tongue, and if the wine is poured directly into the throat without passing through the tongue, then the bitterness will not be felt.
This method is still very effective, although there is still a little bit of budding, but it is better than the previous whole bitterness.
After the wine was in his stomach, he felt that the glass of wine was like a cold stream of ice, flowing down the esophagus to the stomach, and then quickly spreading throughout the body. The previous cup had forced most of the cold in the body to retreat, and after this cup, the heat of the whole body suddenly disappeared, and I felt like a feeling of high air in late autumn.
Lu Jinping praised from the bottom of his heart: "This wine is really good, the heat is first-class, after drinking, the whole body is completely heated, it's really good, it's just that there doesn't seem to be any wine, I drank two glasses, and I don't feel anything." ”
Gaze said, "Then the lord might as well have another drink." ”
"Oh, is it three bowls that don't work?" Lu Jinping picked up the wine glass in front of him again and looked at it, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the color of the wine, it seemed to be turquoise and green, could it be because of the wine glass?
Lu Jinping turned the wine glass sideways, looked carefully at the lantern hanging on the tree, and shook the wine at the same time, and found that it was not the color of the wine glass, but the wine itself was this turquoise.
Ye Qingqing has been paying attention to Lu Jinping, and seeing that his expression is different, he also leaned over to take a closer look, and couldn't help but shout: "I'm afraid that there are ghosts in this wine, don't drink it." Reached over to grab the wine glass in Lu Jinping's hand.
Lu Jinping raised his hand to block her outstretched hand, and said, "It's okay, the wine of the girl with the eyes is naturally a fine wine, how can there be a ghost?" There are ghosts in the cemetery, how can there be ghosts in the wine. After that, as if he was afraid that Ye Qingqing would snatch it, he tilted his neck and poured the cup directly into his throat.
There was still only a bitter taste at the base of the tongue, and the whole mouth was peaceful, and after this glass of wine, Lu Jinping found that the blood on his body began to surge rapidly, and an irrepressible excitement began to wander all over his body, like the feeling of drinking five or six percent of wine. There's a fluttering sense of excitement.
Lu Jinping praised again and again: "Wonderful, really wonderful, it turns out, it's really three bowls of can't be posted, hahaha, when you drink the third cup, you can feel that it is indeed fine wine." Lu Jinping turned back to the maid and said, "Come on, pour another cup." ”
The maid looked at Ning Yan hesitantly, but Ning Yan looked at Lu Jinping silently.
Lu Jinping smiled and said, "What? Don't give it a drink? Is this wine too precious to be reluctant to? Then why use it to seduce me? It's better not to drink such a fine wine than to get half drunk, which will make people's hearts itch. ”
Ning Yan was still expressionless, and said in a voice without any emotion: "The three bowls you said are not enough, I don't know what the allusion is, but it is true that I can only drink three glasses of wine, and it is not a good thing to drink too much." ”
"Really? What's not good? I'll tell you what it means to be three bowls. -- Legend has it that there is a hill called Jingyanggang, and the local rule is that you can't climb over the hillside after drinking three bowls of wine. A good man named Wu Erlang drank eighteen bowls in a row, took advantage of the night to cross Jingyanggang, encountered a colorful tiger, and he killed the tiger with his bare hands. This story tells us that all reactionaries are paper tigers. ”
Lu Jinping already felt the strength of the wine coming up, so he began to speak with a big tongue, and, regardless of whether the other party could understand it or not, he also moved out the words of the old man Mao.
After staring at Lu Jinping's laughter, he said, "If the lord still wants to drink, then you can drink it." You can only drink one more glass, not really any more. ”
So, the maid next to him poured another cup for Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping stood up, looked at Yunzi drunkenly, and said, "You really don't drink?" This wine is bitter, but it is very powerful. And after drinking it, it doesn't feel hot at all. ”
Yun Zi glanced at him and said, "There is a lot of fine wine, and it's not very hot now, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" I just drank bitter wine, and it was hard to drink to death, so I didn't want it. ”
"Good medicine is bitter, and bitter wine must also have its benefits, but you don't know it."
After that, Lu Jinping tilted his neck and poured the glass of wine directly into his throat. Soon he found that the speed of blood flowing around his body increased suddenly, and the strength of the wine quickly hit his heart like a tide, and he was drunk with the feeling that he had drunk to seven or eight points in the past.
He stood up and staggered to the river. Ye Qingqing hurriedly stepped forward to take his hand and said, "Be careful, there is water in front." (To be continued......)
