Chapter Thirty-Eight: Green Plum Boiled Wine
A light smoke slowly rose from the mouth of the wine glass and gradually disappeared into the air. Only the fragrance did not dissipate, slowly filling the entire space.
The amber syrup slowly swayed along the rim of the cup in the small cup with the shaking of the wrist, but not a drop came out. The faint smell lingers around the nose for a long time.
But I can't bear to drink it, destroying this harmony and beauty.
In the end, he couldn't bear the gluttony in his stomach, closed his eyes, gently lifted it, and poured it into his mouth.
The warm liquor juice reverberates in the mouth, through the teeth, and over the tongue. Sour, sweet, and an indescribable satisfaction flooded the mind, layer by layer from the tongue into the mind.
Mixed with the liquor, it all went down the throat and down the esophagus and into the stomach. A gentle heat emanated from the stomach and spread throughout the body. Fatigue, pain, sadness, and all the other negative emotions seem to be carried into the stomach by a glass of wine.
All kinds of tastes, all kinds of emotions, brewed a cup of bitter wine of life, which fell into the stomach. But it's not all bitter and sad, but also happy, laughing, and warm, maybe that's how life is!
"How does it taste?"
A distant voice brought Yang Kuo back to reality, away from the colorful dream world.
A trace of melancholy welled up in his heart, tears filled his eyes again at some point, wetting his eyeballs, Yang Kuo seemed to feel something, and wiped his eyes in a panic. didn't find that Cheng Bin didn't look at him, just looked at the wine cup in his hand in a daze.
"The older the plum wine, the better it tastes, and the one you've been drinking for only a few months. I remember when I was a child, my father liked to make wine, all kinds of wine, but my mother didn't like wine, so my father made a lot of fruit wine, the taste is light, and delicious, like a drink, I love the wine made with green plums, sweet and sour. After all these years, the people who hated alcohol are gone, the people who make wine are gone, and the people who drink are gone......"
The empty voice came from Cheng Bin's mouth, and the voice was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world.
"It's just me, it's just me here, gluttonous ......"
The wine is not intoxicating, people are drunk, maybe they see Chunming and think of themselves, or maybe they see Yang Kuo's family and think of their family, all kinds of emotions come to their hearts, like bitter, sweet, sour......
And the person who should have been comforted, Yang Kuo could only comfort Cheng Bin in turn, opened his mouth but couldn't spit out a word. could only sigh silently and patted Cheng Bin on the shoulder.
"Brother, is this delicious? It looks so pretty! ”
A crisp voice appeared beside Cheng Bin, pulling Cheng Bin back from the world of memory.
"Ah, it's Xiaochun Ming, this is very delicious, sweet and sour like yogurt, I liked it when I was a child!"
Xiao Chunming stood outside the grass pavilion, tilting her head through the fence, looking at the beautiful amber liquid on the table in front of her brother Cheng Bin with her brother Cheng Bin with her big dark eyes.
Since smelling the fragrance, Xiao Xiangming's saliva has not stopped, and she has been swallowing her saliva. I couldn't help it, so I ran over to take a look.
"I'm just looking, seeing what that thing is."
Thinking like this, he picked up a little bear and walked over quietly, but the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to taste it, so he couldn't help but speak.
took out a small wine cup, straightened his waist, picked up the small pot of boiling wine, tilted it slightly, and the jade liquid fell into the wine cup in a long way, without a drop.
"Come, Xiao Chunming, try it."
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and stuffed it into Xiao Chunming's dirty little hand.
"Wow, that's beautiful!"
Ignoring the little bear in his arms, as soon as his hand was loosened, he threw it at his feet, and as soon as the bear hit the ground, it shrank into a round ball, and rolled around at Chunming's heels, together with its brother.
"It's really delicious!"
Carefully stretched out his little pink tongue and licked it, and in an instant, his eyes as round as the sun turned into two crescents, and the color of happiness climbed up to his little face.
"Squeak~squeak~~"
Feeling as if something was pulling off her trouser legs, Xiao Chunming looked down. I saw two little bears, one on one side of the trouser leg, both stretched out their immature little paws and lay on Xiao Chunming's trouser legs, opened their mouths, and shouted at Xiao Chunming, to be precise, towards the wine cup that Xiao Chunming was holding in both hands.
The little face was wrinkled, and it seemed that he didn't know how to solve it. However, after a while, as if thinking of a way, Xiao Chunming squatted down, holding the wine cup in her left hand, and the index finger of her right hand dipped it in the wine cup and fed it to the mouth of a little bear.
Then he dipped it again and fed another cub.
"Squeak~squeak~~squeak~~~"
It seems that the bears are crying more happily after tasting the taste.
"No, Mom said, children can't drink! I can't give it to you. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his wine glass with a distressed face, as if he was looking at the difference from just now, whether it was less or more.
It's just that the bears didn't understand her words, and they still kept shouting on the overlord's trouser legs.
"Woo~~ You bully me! I hate you guys, huh. ”
As he spoke, he resolutely picked up the small wine cup, reluctantly poured the liquid in the wine cup into his mouth, quickly closed his mouth, shook his head and shook it a few times, as if he was savoring. It wasn't until I couldn't hold it anymore that I swallowed it slowly.
"Whew~~"
He let out a long breath, as if the action just now was very tiring.
"Hmph~~"
Squatted down and pushed away the bear with his hand, turned around, pinched the empty wine cup with his little hand, and went straight towards Cheng Bin, who was sitting cross-legged. And the little bear that was pushed away also crawled and rolled and followed Xiao Chunming to the grass pavilion.
"Is this little girl the cousin you used to talk about?"
Looking at the cute little spring tea, Yang Kuo asked curiously.
"No, my brother picked it up! My mom and dad threw me away, and my brother picked me up. I will be my brother's daughter-in-law in the future, and I will repay him!" ”
Before Cheng Bin could speak, Xiao Chunming, who heard the voice, spoke up.
"Uh..... This little girl is amazing. ”
Yang Kuo choked for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Huh. Childlike words, children's words, drinking, drinking. ”
The corners of Cheng Bin's mouth twitched, and he picked up the wine glass as if concealing, and motioned for Yang Kuo to also pick up the wine glass and drink.
"I'm growing up, I know everything, huh, bad brother..... Ignore you. ”
As he spoke, he pushed away the bear that was following his ass with his feet and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and the bear rolled around a few times, got up and glanced at the direction, and crawled and followed Xiao Chunming out.
"Are you sure that a city will grow tomorrow in Jinling? I still don't believe it! ”
Looking at Xiao Chunming in the distance and the two little heels behind her ass, Yang Kuo continued to talk about the previous topic.
"You'll know tomorrow, believe it or not. By the way, where is the Cheng Yi in your family who has the same surname as me, and your parents, I'll pick them up, and I'll treat you to a good meal in the evening. ”
Looking at Yang Kuo's face of disbelief, Cheng Bin didn't explain, it's useless to explain too much, the facts are the best answer, so I'll know tomorrow. As he spoke, Cheng Bin used his spiritual power to condense a small 3D map of the Jinling base and said to Yang Kuo.
"Here, here!"
Although he was surprised, Yang Kuo still truthfully found the place where their family lived and pointed it out.
"Okay, I'll pick them up, you take them with you here, and if you need anything, just tell the housekeeper next to you."
"Huh? Chamberlain? It's just the two of us here? ”
Yang Kuo's face was full of black question marks.
"Hello, I'm a housekeeper. That is, this ginkgo tree in front of you. ”
A mellow and deep voice that looked like an announcer appeared in Yang Kuo's ears.
"Scared! What the? wtf。 ”
