Chapter 131: A Thousand Years of Wine
"Drinking...... Not quite right? Lu Yao's mouth was wrong, in fact, her heart had long been tickled by this strange smell of wine, and she still pretended to demand herself and others with the principle that a student can't drink, and it was true that her words had no deterrent effect at all.
"Are you sixteen? You're full! Xiao Meng asked and answered himself, giving Lu Yao, who was already weak in willpower, a reason to give up his principles with peace of mind.
Lu Junfeng shook the liquid in the cup, which was only half a cup, and sniffed it again, privately thinking that this thing didn't have any alcohol content when it looked like it, even if he drank a little, it shouldn't matter.
Xiao Meng saw that everyone was a little hesitant, and said disapprovingly: "Actually, this thing is really not wine in the strict sense, it is fermented by people with a special grain with a little bit of alcohol...... Drinks only. ”
"Even if it's wine!" However, Xia Xianwen, who had not spoken, did not twist, just took the "drink" in the cup, and drank it all before the other three reacted.
After drinking, he frowned and smashed his mouth and said, "It's really hard to drink!" ”
"yes, it's hard to drink?" Lu Yao had actually decided to taste Xia Xianwen's evaluation of whether it was good or not, but she still looked at Junfeng's face in the lower road very measured before drinking, and after finding that he had no strong intention to stop it, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart.
"You've never drunk, still ......"
"Lu Junfeng, why are you so boring, how old is she, what's wrong with drinking some alcoholic drinks! If she never drank it, you should deprive her of the right to drink? You're not annoyed with her all day long! Xiao Meng couldn't get used to seeing that Lu Junfeng always regarded Lu Yao as a child, or his own, and everything he did had to be approved by his guardian, looking at his face.
Xiao Meng really doesn't understand, how can he send people under the fence instead of him, Lu Junfeng, but Lu Yao!
And in the past, Lu Yao's arrogance and words to him are now completely reversed, and I don't know how Lu Junfeng, a poor boy who came out of a small place, managed to get the Lu family's father and daughter, and even the Lu family's aunts often praise him, praising him so much that there is nothing in the sky and no in the earth.
Xiao Meng's words made Lu Junfeng stunned, he thought to himself that in the eyes of others, he usually treated her to the point of "managing her head and feet"? Does she feel annoyed in her heart?
"Do you want to drink?" He found that Lu Yao's entire mind was already on this small alcoholic drink, and he couldn't help but ask her.
Lu Yao nodded sincerely.
Of course she wants to drink! She has an innate adventurous spirit when it comes to food, and she is interested in trying anything strange that she hasn't tried.
Her heartfelt love and smile warmed his heart, so he said to her dotingly: "Drink less, it's a little cold." ”
Lu Junfeng felt that Xiao Meng's worries were completely overwhelmed, don't look at his own control over her, but as long as he can please her, it is imperative for him to go to heaven and earth!
In the final analysis, the most important person in their family is still his girl.
"Haruka, how's it going, is it delicious?" Xiao Meng waited for Lu Yao to finish drinking, and asked doggedly.
Lu Yao tasted the cool and pungent taste on the tip of his tongue, and kept nodding his head and commenting: "How to say it, it's a strange taste, like wine but not wine, a little bitter in the mouth, but the aftertaste is sweet, and there is a bitter taste of matcha......"
They drank the drink in the cup with her introduction, and Xia Xianwen, who had already drunk a cup, poured herself another glass, originally thought that it was just a strange wine with no alcohol content, but after Lu Yao's introduction, he tasted it carefully, and he really drank something expensive that money can't buy.
"And what, Haruka?" Lu Yao knew all the little Meng that he had just said, and he felt that she should have something to say behind him, so he looked at her expectantly.
Lu Yao took another sip, and after a long while, he spoke again: "I know that this country likes to make some food with matcha, mix it into the wine, and it doesn't dominate the aroma of the wine, but just adds a little novelty with their own characteristics to this wine, this natural combination of food is really powerful." But...... In addition to matcha, there seems to be another very peculiar aroma of food, which I didn't drink when I took the first sip just now, but when the sake enters the body, it is easy to recognize the taste that comes from being warmed by the body. ”
"What kind of food?" Even Xia Xianwen was very curious about the food in the wine that Lu Yao said, her understanding of wine was definitely much deeper than Lu Yao's, but she had never had such a profound taste after tasting it like Lu Yao, and she felt that what Xiao Meng just said to belittle her that she had not seen the world was somewhat reasonable.
"Isn't it...... Red beans? Lu Yao's eyebrows were clear, and his black eyes contained a layer of wet water, I don't know if it was because he drank some wine, and his cheeks were a little unnatural.
The smile on her lips was something Lu Junfeng had never seen before, a smile that was different from the past, it was a smile that was both pure and charming, and it made people's hearts skip a beat.
The Japanese chef probably understood the word "red beans", and gave a thumbs up to Lu Yao with a "wow-wow-wow-la-whh
Xiao Meng hurriedly filled the cups for everyone again.
"If you want to say that we are far away from the emperor's tongue, we can taste it! These red beans are not the ones you see casually in the field, the red beans used to make this stuff are picked from the thousand-year-old cedar tree of the Itho Repair Temple in their country, and the red bean tree that is about the same age as her is almost the same age...... You can pick a basket of them! ”
After listening to Xiao Meng's introduction to the brewing raw materials, and then looking at the so-called "drink" that can be drunk in one sip in the cup, everyone suddenly felt that what they were drinking was not any wine, but a country's thick history and culture, and of course, there was a layer of emotion that rich people can really enjoy the luxury and dignity that others can't imagine.
Probably only Lu Yao disagreed, she supported her head with one hand, shook the cup lightly with the other, and said indifferently: "Isn't it just a thousand-year-old red bean tree, no matter how little the yield is, it can bear a basket of fruits every year, if you have money and a way, it is not difficult to drink a cup." ”
Xiao Meng couldn't help but nod in agreement: "It makes sense, although it's rare, but I asked them to find a way to get a bottle over, didn't they get it?" ”
"It's not that hard!" Xia Xianwen was surprised, and then a little distressed, she drank too much just now and didn't taste the price, "Have you ever drunk wine for tens of thousands of years?" ”
"Not for tens of thousands of years," Lu Yao unconsciously drank a little more, feeling a little dizzy, but not to the point of being drunk and unconscious, but the speed of speech was obviously slower than usual, and the voice was softer, "My grandfather used to stay in southern Xinjiang for a few years, and that place used to be very poor and there were no good things, so the people under my grandfather often went to those old forests...... Well...... 'hunting game'. Once, they turned out a wine cellar, I don't know which dynasty and which generation, anyway, as soon as the door of the earth seal was opened, everyone present fainted one after another, until a day and a night later. Grandpa, they thought they had touched something unclean, but later they learned that they were all stunned by the smell of alcohol that had been sealed for a long time! ”
"And then? Have you drunk all those wines, and how does it taste? Xiao Meng showed great interest in what Lu Yao said, these wines that Lu Yao said should be ancient burial goods, and the ancient tombs in that place in southern Xinjiang have many old noses, so it is really possible that there are thousands of years!
"What can I do?" Lu Yao glanced at him, "Of course it's all handed in!" Besides, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air alone can smoke people into a coma for a day and a night, and if you really take a sip, you don't know if you can wake up! ”
"It's a pity...... Although Xiao Meng is not an alcoholic, and he doesn't have any hobby of collecting famous wine, but it is all thousands of years old, let alone drinking, if you are lucky enough to meet it, it is also a very great thing.
Xiao Meng's disappointed expression was in Lu Yao's eyes, and she secretly triumphed for a while before she said: "When I was a child, I slipped into my grandfather's study and saw the two large clay pots he locked at the bottom of the cabinet, which looked black and smelled strange, I didn't think about it that much at the time, but now I understand......
"Grandpa didn't confiscate all of them, he kept two altars privately!" Xiao Meng's eyes lit up with gold, and he looked at Lu Yao excitedly, "Yaoyao, next time you go back to see your grandfather, remember to call me, I'll ask him to ask for it!" ”
Xiao Meng thought in his heart, even if he couldn't ask for it, he would take a look at it, so that he could brag in front of Xiao Zhu and them for more than half a year!
"Okay, I'll ask him for it, let's also taste what the wine that has been buried underground for thousands of years tastes like......" Lu Yao agreed to Xiao Meng without thinking.
"Good, good, interesting!"
"Isn't it just wine, my grandfather loves me so much, what is he reluctant to give me?"
"That's it, come on, come on, Yaoyao, brother, I toast you a ......"
"Okay, ......"
Xiao Meng and Lu Yao's back and forth conversation made Lu Junfeng's brows furrow deeper and deeper, in fact, he found that something was wrong with her from the time Lu Yao began to talk about her grandfather's affairs in southern Xinjiang, she has never liked to talk about the Yin family, especially her grandfather's identity, and she will never mention it in front of outsiders.
Although Xiao Meng grew up together and knew the roots, after all, she was still in front of Xia Xianwen, but she seemed to have opened the conversation box today, and the more she talked, the more exaggerated she became!
"Hey, why don't you two drink it, don't waste such a delicious wine!" Lu Yao looked at Lu Junfeng and Xia Xianwen dissatisfiedly, and took his wine glass to touch them in turn, "Drink quickly, don't just watch, cheers!" ”
Xia Xianwen's gaze shifted from Lu Yao's unnatural flush to Lu Junfeng's face, and she asked tentatively, "She can't be ...... Drunk, right? ”
