Chapter 381 Wine Tasting
Chapter 381 Wine Tasting
After several days of refining, Shu Xiaoxiao's liquor is finally ready and can be tasted by everyone.
But there would be a problem if they tasted it there. This was strong liquor, and they would have to hold a banquet to invite everyone to taste it. What if someone got drunk by accident and acted crazy? This was the emperor's palace, and she couldn't imagine the scene of everyone getting drunk and acting crazy in the palace.
Don't say that these people have a sense of propriety. Men have no sense of propriety when it comes to alcohol, especially strong liquor that they have never tried. Men, after all, are not the kind of people who can be stubborn. With so many people together, who would admit that they can't drink much, or that it is a new kind of liquor they have never seen before? According to their usual drinking habits, getting drunk is their only choice. If they really get drunk and go crazy, it will not end well.
So this plan can be directly rejected. Even if it is to find someone with whom you have a good relationship, they can drink together and get drunk. But if someone in the palace gets drunk, Shu Xiaoxiao feels that she cannot take the responsibility.
As for going out for a picnic, I've seen people bringing fruit juice, but I've never seen anyone bringing strong liquor. It's okay to get drunk and act crazy in broad daylight, but you don't even need to drink to get crazy.
After much deliberation, Shu Xiaoxiao finally found a way to hire a luxurious------ship.
In the dim night, with lights flickering, they sat on the boat and leisurely tasted wine. How appropriate!
Aren't the boats in the brothels all out at night? That's when the mood is most beautiful. At that time, drive the boat to the center and find some loyal and tight-lipped servants to serve beside them. If nothing else, just make sure they don't get drunk and have any accidents. After all, they are in the middle of the water. It's no joke if you accidentally fall into the lake when you're drunk.
As long as safety is guaranteed, they will not alarm other people on the boat even if they are drunk. In this way, no matter how drunk they are, they can just make trouble on the boat at most. When they wake up tomorrow and row the boat back, they can still be the elegant and handsome young master!
In order to be cautious, Shu Xiaoxiao also posted a message to these people, and the remaining fighting cocks were made into delicacies and served on the table. Eating chicken every day, even if the cooking methods are different, would make people a little tired of it. This time it just happened to be all eaten. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to keep raising them all the time, and Huo Feng would complain about it every day!
Huo Feng: ━━( ̄ー ̄*|||━━
Su Shiche and the others were naturally happy about Shu Xiaoxiao's post. Ever since Shu Xiaoxiao mentioned the strongest liquor, they had been looking forward to it. Now that they could finally taste it, they naturally had to go to the appointment.
Because it was a wine tasting, especially of strong liquor, and there was a high chance of getting drunk, and it was very likely that she would make a fool of herself at that time, so Shu Xiaoxiao invited people she was very familiar with, who knew who both sides were, so as not to embarrass herself in front of outsiders. Is that face? That was a dark history!
Except for the eldest brother, the Sixth Prince, who really had to leave, everyone else, including Yun Qinghan, agreed to attend the banquet. In the end, Shu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to send a jar of wine to the emperor, the Sixth Prince, and her eldest brother. She also explained the alcohol content of the wine and told them to be careful and not get drunk by accident. With their status, it would not only delay things, but it would also be bad if they were tricked by others.
The Sixth Prince, who was still handling official business, wanted to curse: No wonder the master often said that the two of them were not as considerate as the junior brother. He didn’t believe it before, but now?
Seeing that his master Qinghan had thrown all his official duties to him in order to go out for wine tasting with his junior brother, how could he be so considerate to his junior brother! Because he didn't go, his junior brother even specially sent him a jar of fine wine. How could Qinghan compare to that!
And this crappy official duties, he didn't even want to deal with them before, but now he doesn't have the heart to do it, his father likes to assign him errands, although it's pleasing to see the envious eyes of his brothers, but he wants to burn these official duties, whoever handles them knows, tedious and troublesome. He wants to live a carefree life like his junior brother, who is either lazy or on the way to be lazy every day!
The biggest worry of my junior brother is probably what to eat every day. While his father is healthy, he really wants to enjoy himself, but his brothers think he is pretending. Now he has so many official duties to attend to, he feels really wronged!
Looking at the wine brought by his junior fellow apprentice, the Sixth Prince poured a small cup and drank it all in one gulp. He needed strong liquor right now.
“Cough…cough…cough…”
The Sixth Prince looked at the wine glass in disbelief. This is... really a strong wine! The Sixth Prince was not prepared for this taste, and his expression was out of control with his teeth bared. But this is indeed a good wine. Men should drink this kind of wine. The good wine that everyone talked about before is as light as water in comparison.
Tsk, it was still the junior brother who did it, and it was powerful enough. He lowered his head and looked at the official business on the table. He wanted to burn it even more, otherwise he could also participate in the junior brother's wine tasting banquet.
And if it weren't for these official duties, he would have asked someone to prepare some side dishes so that he could enjoy the wine. Now he can only put the wine away.
With this intensity, he wasn't even sure if he could make it. No wonder his junior brother chose to go on the boat. He also wanted to go!
Here, after everyone got on board one after another, the boat slowly moved to the middle. Shu Xiaoxiao asked people to serve the food first. Drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to the body. What's more, they are all family members, so there is no need to care too much about the form. Everyone ate half full first, and then Shu Xiaoxiao asked people to bring up the prepared wine.
As soon as all the wine jars were opened, the entire cabin began to be filled with a strong aroma of wine.
Liu Xuanyu also forgot to be afraid of Yun Shizi at this time, and said intoxicatedly with his eyes closed: "What a strong aroma of wine!"
Generally speaking, Yun Qinghan and Shu Xiaoxiao have the highest status among them. Shu Xiaoxiao is okay, as they are all late bloomers. However, Yun Qinghan has always been noble and inviolable, so everyone feels a little restrained around him. Fortunately, Shu Xiaoxiao is there.
Shu Xiaoxiao sat next to Yun Qinghan. Both in status and demeanor, there was still a big gap between her friends and Senior Brother Yun. With Senior Brother Yun around, they all restrained themselves a lot, so Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little relieved. With someone who could calm the situation, everyone should not go too crazy when they were drunk, right?
Shu Xiaoxiao personally poured a glass of wine for Yun Qinghan next to her, looked at Zhenzhu who was standing next to her, and poured herself another glass. With Zhenzhu around, she would not be afraid even if she got drunk.
And she probably wouldn't act crazy when drunk, right?
But this time she was the one who organized the wine tasting party, and it would be inappropriate for her not to drink at all. She also thought that this was a good opportunity to find out her alcohol tolerance. Maybe she could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and she had a physique that was not easily drunk! This way, she wouldn't have to worry about getting drunk outside at any time.
Shu Xiaoxiao felt a little excited when she thought of this!
"Although this wine is very strong, I have arranged a doctor on board, so you can drink it without worry. Come, let me toast you all first. I hope that everything will go well for us in the future and that all our wishes will come true!" Shu Xiaoxiao said, raising her glass.
After saying that, he raised the glass and drank it. The strong liquor went down his throat, and the fiery taste was like a strong wind in the desert, wild and real, making people feel a unique vitality and infinite passion. The aftertaste was long, making people have endless aftertaste and can't stop. Wow, it was a success.
Although it tasted good, Shu Xiaoxiao quickly ate two bites of food after swallowing it to suppress the stimulating taste in her mouth. The wine was extracted very successfully, but compared to strong liquor, Shu Xiaoxiao felt that sweet and delicious wine was more suitable for her.
She still has a lot of grapes stored in her space. She had thought that the space had a fresh-keeping function, so she washed them and put them in, which would be convenient to eat. Now there are still a lot left, which can be used to make some wine, which must be better than this.
The wine that Shu Xiaoxiao felt was too strong was just right for others. This might be the difference between women and men. Most women would probably prefer a milder taste.
Not to mention Liu Xuanyu who usually likes to have a drink, even the usually gentle Shen Guanqing couldn't help but praise the good wine. And Shu Tingfei, who thought it was just an ordinary wine, now after tasting it, in addition to being amazed at the mellowness of the wine, he was a little worried that his sister would not be able to bear it, because the wine was really strong.
It was not until Shu Xiaoxiao pointed to Pearl behind him that Shu Tingfei felt relieved and began to concentrate on the wine on his table. After Yun Qinghan drank the first glass, he couldn't help but pour himself a second glass.
Although this wine is strong, after drinking it, it feels hot and passionate, like a burning flame that cannot be ignored. The body quickly warms up as well. It would definitely be very refreshing to take a sip when the cold at the border is unbearable.
Before, the junior brother said it was a surprise, and it was indeed a surprise, except that the cost was too high. He saw it with his own eyes. With so much wine, only this little was produced. If the soldiers were to keep warm, peppers would be more suitable. The peppers planted by the junior brother in the academy were densely packed with fruits, and the yield was also amazing, just enough to provide for the soldiers.
But this kind of liquor is also very good. If my junior brother really targets people who can afford it, there should be a lot of people who like it. Just like him, they won't be able to help but buy some.
Drinking can easily enhance the relationship between people. Now they all seem to be familiar with each other, and with such delicious wine, the atmosphere is even more harmonious when everyone drinks.
As they drank one glass of wine after another, the atmosphere became noticeably more lively. After a glass of wine, they almost forgot about Brother Yun's existence and chatted happily.
Accompanied by the graceful dance of the dancers and the melodious piano music, Shu Xiaoxiao accidentally drank too much and felt a little dizzy.
As time passed, the cabin began to seem a little stuffy, so everyone went outside with their wine glasses. This was a large ship that Shu Xiaoxiao had specially found, and there was plenty of space on the deck, so there was no need to worry even if they were outside, as there was definitely enough space for them to have fun.
The only drawback might be that the wine was too strong. Even Shen Guanqing, who was always sensible, was a little drunk. Liu Xuanyu, Su Shiche, and Zhou Hekang had already fallen down drunk. They did some monkey boxing and chanted some sour poems for a while, and now they were sleeping peacefully on the table. After Shu Xiaoxiao asked the doctor to check their pulse and make sure that they were fine, she asked the servants to take care of them and let them rest.
After all, we are on a boat. Even if the weather is getting hotter, it is still a little cool at night. It is easy to catch a cold if you stay in class A for a night.
Today, no matter if you are drunk or not, no one can leave without someone by their side. They are also worried that they drink too much and get alcohol poisoning. The doctor is always watching them. Others who are not drunk can continue to party! Today's main theme is "Don't go home until you are drunk"!
In such an atmosphere, Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but drink a little more. She wandered around in a daze for a long time before she realized that her senior brother didn't come out, so she went back into the cabin with a dizzy head.
The cabin was large and luxuriously decorated. There was also a small room inside. Yun Qinghan was the only one inside. He sat in front of the soft couch by the window, occasionally taking a sip of wine. His expression was very content! Except for his mechanical movements, there was nothing wrong with anything else. Of course, Shu Xiaoxiao didn't notice this one thing. She even envied Brother Yun for his good alcohol tolerance. He drank so much without looking tipsy.
Shu Xiaoxiao turned her dizzy head, walked to the side and sat down, smacked her lips, turned her head and ordered: "Zhenzhu, go prepare two bowls of honey water for me. The hangover soup is too bitter, I don't want to drink it!"
Zhenzhu looked at the young master who was not drinking, and Prince Yun who looked very calm and not drunk at all, and went to prepare the honey water with peace of mind!
Although the sobering soup had been prepared in advance, the taste was indeed a bit unbearable, especially since the young master didn't like to drink things with strange tastes. She remembered that she seemed to have brought honey water when she came. With Prince Yun here, the young master should be quite safe. Besides, being drunk would indeed be very uncomfortable. While the young master was still sober, it would be better for him to drink some honey water quickly!
Seeing that Zhenzhu had already left, Shu Xiaoxiao came to Yun Qinghan, raised her little face, and showed a proud smile: "Brother, this wine of mine is a surprise, right?"
Yun Qinghan heard the voice and turned his head slowly, and was greeted by a charming smile, which was too beautiful. Yun Qinghan closed his eyes and felt his heartbeat quicken. He opened his eyes and felt that the beautiful smile in front of him seemed unreal.
After thinking for a long time, he finally realized that the person in front of him seemed to be asking him a question. He didn't care what the question was, but just nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are right!"
This is so beautiful, he loves this smiling face so much, he wants her to keep smiling, so what she said is right!
Shu Xiaoxiao was also a little confused at the moment. She felt she was quite sober when she was outside just now, but when she sat here, she felt her whole body was soft and dazed, and her brain was like a mess.
Hearing the reply from her senior brother, she chuckled and felt very happy: "I knew you...you would like it. I...I will go back and prepare some more. If you want to drink it, just let me know anytime!" Shu Xiaoxiao is very generous!
Yun Qinghan stared at Shu Xiaoxiao's face, not wanting to blink, and nodded: "Okay! I'll listen to you!"
As long as the person in front of him keeps smiling at him, isn't it just wine? He can find all the good wine in the world and give it to her.
