Chapter 100: Green Light
The interior decoration of the Lu family villa is really extraordinary, not the kind of dazzling gold and brilliance at a glance, but low-key luxury, every room and every corner has been carefully designed, combining the long-standing cultural precipitation with the concise style of the interstellar age, which can be described as ingenious and commendable, without a trace of nouveau riche atmosphere.
Under the leadership of Lu Xiaoyun, Xin Lin and Justin took a brief tour of the villa, which was an eye-opener.
Both of them are admired in their hearts, they are worthy of being a big federal family that has been heirlooms for hundreds of years, and they have a profound heritage, which is by no means comparable to those small families who suddenly became rich.
Soon after, the three of them entered a spacious banquet hall, and under the appropriate light, a dozen exquisite tables and chairs were arranged throughout the hall, and the guests sat at the tables in twos and threes, chatting in low voices.
Every guest is dressed up, men's suits and leather shoes, polite; The woman is dressed in a gorgeous dress and has an elegant posture.
The well-trained waiters hold wine trays in their hands, shuttle quietly between the guest tables, and provide delicious food and wine to everyone in a timely manner, and the atmosphere is neither cold nor excessively warm, giving people a very comfortable feeling. From time to time, guests get up and join in other tables to greet each other, and occasionally there is a relaxed and cheerful laughter, which is eye-catching.
The three young men swaggered in, attracting the attention of some people.
As the key training object of the next generation of the Lu family, Lu Xiaoyun is already famous, at least those who are more familiar with the Lu family in the upper echelons of the federation know him, as for Xin Lin and Justin, no one in the present recognized him, and he skipped it with a light sweep of his eyes, and did not pay much attention to it.
"Let's sit over there."
Lu Xiaoyun didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he took two friends to sit at a table in the corner, and immediately a waiter from the Lu family came over to ask.
"Fifth young master, there are two other distinguished guests, which wine do you want to taste?" The waiter asked politely.
"Bring me a glass of red fruit aging." Lu Xiaoyun is not good at drinking, so he casually ordered a glass of common low-alcohol wine. Justin's eyes lit up, he was half an alcoholic, he usually drank a few glasses when he was fine, and asked without hesitation: "Is there any black wine from Bransger Star?" This is a very expensive wine, Justin's favorite, and when he saw the waiter nodding, he smiled, "Great, just bring me a bottle!" ”
The waiter looked at Xin Lin again.
"A cup of iced tea, thank you." Xin Silent said softly.
He is not resistant to alcohol, and usually drinks a lot with his parents and friends when he is happy, but when it is not necessary, he does not drink it if he can, and tries to choose his favorite drink.
The waiter was slightly stunned for a moment, showing a hint of surprise on his face, the person who ordered iced black tea at the Lu family's drinking party, he saw it for the first time, but his good quality made him react quickly, nodded and said, "Okay, please wait." ”
For Xin Lone's hobby taste, Lu Xiaoyun and Justin have long been surprised.
In less than a minute, the waiter brought the drinks ordered by the three of them. Justin couldn't wait to open the expensive bottle of black wine, poured himself a glass, and took a big sip with a look of intoxication on his face.
"Good wine! Refreshing! ”
Some of the surrounding guests saw Justin's slightly rude behavior, their eyes flashed with a little disdain, and then they looked at Justin's huge figure and ill-fitting clothes, and they were even more displeased.
Neither Lu Xiaoyun nor Justin himself found out about this situation, but Xin Lin was clear, he didn't care about it at all, but for Justin's sake, he still reminded him loudly: "Golon, you drink slowly, Lao Lu's second uncle hasn't played yet, don't get drunk and make a mistake." ”
"No, you know how much I drink." Justin said so, but he restrained a little and stopped pouring like a cow drinking water.
Xin smiled silently, Justin seems to be bold and vulgar on the surface, but in fact he is a bold and careful person, who has a very tacit understanding with himself, and can listen to persuasion, and a simple sentence made him wake up.
In the evening, this one is called a cocktail party, in fact, there are also dishes to eat, two or three plates of very characteristic delicacies are placed on each table, and there are some exquisite snacks, but the portions are not much. Ordinary experienced guests will eat seven minutes full before coming, and their minds are not on these dishes, most of them stop at a shallow taste, and some people don't even move.
Xin Lin didn't care about this, he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and he happened to be hungry, so he concentrated on the dishes in front of him. Of course, he also paid attention to his eating appearance, and slowly tasted the craftsmanship of the chef of the Lu family.
Ten minutes later, when Xin Lin was full, a magnetic voice sounded.
"Guys, I'm late."
Xin Xiao turned his head to look, and a dignified-looking middle-aged man hurriedly walked in from the door of the hall, with a tiger under his feet, with sincere apologies on his face, while arching his hands to the surroundings, while greeting the guests around him, and apologizing frequently.
"My second uncle is finally here." Lu Xiaoyun said in a low voice.
Needless to say than Lu Xiaoyun, Xin Lin and Justin both recognized that this middle-aged man was Lu Chengyin, the backbone of the Lu family, and the head of the Asian region of the earth.
It stands to reason that as the initiator and host of today's cocktail party, Lu Chengyin should have prepared in advance and greeted the guests outside before the opening, but he hung all the guests here, and it was really rude for him to show up for a long time.
Just now, through telepathy, Xin Silence heard that several guests were dissatisfied with this, and secretly issued a few complaints.
Lu Xiaoyun had also been nervous before, and it wasn't until Lu Chengyin appeared that he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and explained in a low voice: "My second uncle is usually cautious and exquisite, and he would never make such a serious mistake, he should have been delayed by something important just now." ”
Xin Lin nodded, he guessed as well.
Lu Chengyin walked to the platform on the side of the banquet hall, faced all the guests, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am really sorry here, but the reason why I am late is because I have to welcome an important guest, if you know the identity of this guest of honor, you will definitely forgive me for my rude tonight." ”
He paused, his eyes swept around the audience, and said: "Of course, no matter what, this is also my fault, here, I will punish myself with three cups first, please Haihan." ”
Immediately after speaking, a waiter brought three glasses of spirits, he raised his head and drank them one by one, then turned the cups downwards and said with a smile: "Can I get your forgiveness?" ”
"Good!"
"District Chief Lu simply ......"
"Lao Lu, let you go this time!"
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and there was a burst of laughter, no one would really hold on to Lu Chengyin because of the lateness of these ten minutes, these three glasses of wine were already full of sincerity.
"Thank you, thank you for a lot!" Lu Chengyin said in a joking tone, with a mysterious smile on his face, and continued: "Presumably someone is curious about which VIP I just greeted, but they are embarrassed to ask. It's okay, don't hesitate to ask, but let me sell it first, and later, this VIP will be there in person to join us at the reception. ”
His words whetted everyone's appetites, but without revealing the slightest information, he said loudly: "Now, let's start our evening drinking party." Today, I invite you to taste a batch of fine wines that I have recently obtained, called 'Green Light', from the Republic of Flora, a spiral arm of Perseus. ”
"You may have heard of this distant country, the Flora people are a semi-vegetative race, advocating nature, loving peace by nature, very good at making food and wine, 'Green Light' is the best wine of the Flora people, it is famous in the galaxy, it is said that it is very popular in the Galactic Empire, and wine lovers should not miss it."
"Of course, because the Federation and the Republic of Flora have no diplomatic relations, it is difficult for us to taste the food and wine from the Flora people, and the four bottles of 'Green Light' in my hand are also the only ones in the Federation, I hope you will taste them carefully and cherish this hard-won alien wine!"
Lu Chengyin clapped his hands after speaking, and in everyone's expectation, the housekeeper Shen Bo personally pushed a dining cart out, on which were placed four wooden wine bottles, the surface of the bottles was rough like tree bark, the whole was like a tree trunk, and a short branch was born at the upper end, leaving a few emerald green leaves, as if there was still life.
Shen Bo picked up one of the bottles, gently shaved off the top with a knife, and suddenly a green light bloomed from the incision, and after a few seconds, a charming aroma of wine spread throughout the audience, and when he smelled it lightly, he felt refreshed and mouthwatered.
"Sure enough, it's green light, that's how the name of the wine comes from." A guest muttered.
The four bottles of wine were opened one by one, and the four waiters carefully held the wooden wine bottles, and quickly and calmly poured half a glass for all the guests, and the aroma of the audience was permeated. No one was in a hurry to taste it, but they were all observing the wine in their hands, which was as green as a wash, crystal clear, like a piece of activated amber shaking in a glass, quite strange.
At this time, some people had taken a sip gently, with different expressions, and then their eyes lit up, and they tasted it carefully, and then they couldn't help but take another sip, the faster they drank, only a small half glass of wine was gone in a blink of an eye.
Xin Lin didn't pay so much attention to it, and when he saw that everyone had drunk it, there was no problem, so he raised his head and drank it all.
"Why does it taste a bit like jelly ......?"
This is the first feeling of pungent silence, and then a sweet smell of wine rises from the belly, the smell reverberates between the mouth, nose and throat, refreshing the heart, and the feeling of freshness and nature hits the heart, as if I saw a large forest in front of me, and the whole world is covered with a layer of light, full of green.
And then it's gone.
Xin Lonely smacked his lips, and the sensation lasted less than a second before disappearing.
While the others were still intoxicated by the 'green light', including Justin and Lu Xiaoyun, their eyes were green, their expressions were in a trance, and they looked like they were fluttering and intoxicated.
Xin Lonely was speechless, how did this scene look like a collective drug use, everyone was high, only he was fine.
"Everyone is drunk, I'm sober!"
Xin Xiao smiled bitterly in his heart: "This is the effect of telepathy again......"
Before, because there were many masters around, including many strong generals, Xin Lin did not maintain telepathy at all times for the sake of insurance, at this time, he habitually released his telepathy, and suddenly his whole body shook slightly, and his eyes widened, as if he saw the most incredible thing in the world!
