Liu Qi opened the lid of the pot, and Huang Chengyan's smile froze on his face, his eyes staring at the wine pot like snakes.
"Good wine!" Huang Chengyan's pupils dilated and light shone in his eyes.
Liu Qi handed over the jug: "If it wasn't good wine, how dare you give it to Mr. Huang to taste?"
Smelling the strong aroma of wine, Huang Chengyan carefully held the wine bottle with both hands and took a slight sniff. He immediately felt that the brewed wine was no longer fragrant.
"Where did this wine come from, and what's its name?" Huang Chengyan exhaled, his white beard trembling with excitement.
Liu Qi smiled and said: "This is newly brewed wine. It has not been named yet. I would like Mr. Huang to taste it and give me some advice."
"Oh?" Huang Chengyan sighed and put down the wine bottle first.
He turned around and removed the wine utensils from the stove. The wine that he had treated with great care just now was thrown aside casually as if abandoned.
There are two extremely exquisite porcelain cups, with a golden-purple outer layer, engraved green bamboos and auspicious clouds, and a green and smooth interior, which are about the size of tea bowls. I am afraid there are only one or two of these two cups.
Liu Qi poured the wine. The wine was as bright as a mountain spring, and the sound was clear. It was crystal clear in this cup, making it even more attractive.
"As a descendant of the Liu family, I can't bear to see the country fall. I have no control over everything. If I offend anyone..."
"Hey, talking about worldly things while drinking such a fine wine is like hanging your trousers under flowers, it really ruins the scenery!"
Huang Chengyan waved his hands dissatisfied and said sternly: "Drinking is like drinking with a beautiful woman. It is best to drink wine with the wind and the moon, so that you can get the beauty of it."
Liu Qi already understood that Huang Chengyan didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Young man is rude, I will punish myself with a drink."
"Hey, do you want to drink more?" Huang Chengyan glared, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk -" After finishing the drink, he smacked his mouth carefully and nodded repeatedly, "Good wine, good wine, I didn't expect that there would be such a fine wine in the world, and the fairy liquid and jade liquid are nothing more than this."
After drinking a glass, my whole chest felt extremely hot from my throat to my stomach. This feeling was something I had never experienced even after drinking heavily.
Liu Qi only took a small sip and said with a smile: "This junior is still recovering from his illness and cannot drink too much. Please don't blame Mr. Huang."
"Wouldn't it be better to leave it all to me?" Huang Chengyan grabbed the wine bottle and poured himself another glass.
"Enjoyed, hahaha!" Huang Chengyan drank two drinks in a row and laughed happily.
Liu Qi knew that he had a good capacity for drinking, but he had never drunk such a strong drink. He would easily get drunk if he drank too much. He advised, "Although this wine is good, don't be greedy!"
"Hiccup -" Huang Chengyan let out a long wine burp, his cheeks turned red, "Such a fine wine is worth getting drunk on. After drinking this glass, there are still three glasses left, haha..."
After another drink, I suddenly fell on the table and burst into tears.
Liu Qi was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why is Mr. Huang like this? Is this wine not to his taste?"
Huang Huan was digging the soil in the garden when he heard the old man's cry and rushed in. Upon seeing this, he yelled: "Liu Qi, don't bully others too much!"
"It's none of his business!" Huang Chengyan raised his head, wiped his tears and sighed: "I just hate it!"
Liu Qi asked doubtfully: "Why does Mr. Huang hate this?"
Huang Chengyan said with emotion: "I have drunk countless drinks in my life, and I have enjoyed it. I think I have no regrets in this life! Today I know that my years have been wasted. I only hate this kind of fine wine. I don't have many days to drink it."
Liu Qi and Huang Huan were both dumbfounded. They didn't expect that he would cry because of this.
"Why did Mr. Huang say this?" Liu Qi said: "This wine is about to be released. If Mr. Huang doesn't dislike it, he can work as a sommelier in the winery to ensure that there is an inexhaustible supply."
"Seriously?" Huang Chengyan grabbed Liu Qi's arm, "Sure enough, there is already a wine shop?"
"It has begun to take shape!" Liu Qi nodded and said: "It's just that we are still exploring. We need the tasting guidance of senior masters like Mr. Huang before we can produce good wines again."
"Hahaha, that's wonderful!" Huang Chengyan clapped his hands and laughed: "I have never been worried in my life, and I don't want to be controlled by others, but this sommelier can't refuse."
Liu Qi didn't expect to get an unexpected bonus. Asking Huang Chengyan to be a taster was an excellent advertisement. It would be even better if the Huang family could also participate in the investment.
"In that case, please ask Mr. Huang to give this wine a name."
"The general has a wonderful poem: Du Kang is the only one who can relieve worries!" Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "This wine-making method must be unique and can be compared with Dukang's wine-making. How about calling it 'Dukang'?"
"What a name!" Liu Qi nodded, and now he even had an advertising slogan.
Huang Chengyan ordered: "Erlang, hurry up and prepare the banquet. I want to get drunk with the eldest son before we rest!"
Huang Huan was inexplicable and glanced at Liu Qi in surprise. Apart from Mr. Shui Jing, this was the second person who could make the old man cry in public.
Although he was preparing for a banquet, Huang Chengyan couldn't wait any longer. He was in high spirits and began to drink by himself. Liu Qi couldn't persuade him, so he had to let him drink.
In the blink of an eye, half the bottle of wine was drained. He shook the bottle, caught the last few drops of wine, and licked his lips for endless aftertaste.
"Not enough, there is a wine shop, take me there quickly!" Huang Chengyan patted the table and stood up.
After downing half a kilogram of white wine, Huang Chengyan's eyes were blurred, his face was flushed, and he was unsteady on his feet.
Liu Qi advised: "Mr. Huang, this wine is strong, don't drink it violently. Just drink this today, and I will ask my senior to come to the winery for guidance tomorrow..."
"Today I'm going to...have a good drink. Come on, go get the wine!"
Huang Chengyan's body was swaying, his tongue was a little stiff, and he was getting drunk.
Liu Qi helped him sit down while he was still drunk, and took the opportunity to say: "I am here not only to reconcile the two families, but also to obtain the blueprints of the equipment. I hope that my senior will remember..."
"What's your name, senior?" Huang Chengyan slapped the table and stared at Liu Qi.
"Old Huang..."
"Bullshit Huang Lao!"
"Then...aunt, uncle?"
"Wrong!" Huang Chengyan lay on the table and pointed at Liu Qi: "You want to call me brother——"
"Ah? This..." Liu Qi was shocked.
"My father is really drunk!" Huang Huanzheng came to invite everyone to sit down. When he heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Liu Qi was also a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect Huang Chengyan to be so weird after being drunk. It seems that he won't be able to get the drawings today.
Huang Huan also felt a little embarrassed: "The last time I got drunk was when I was drinking in Lumen Mountain three years ago, and I also called Feng Chu brothers."
"Drunk? I'm not, not drunk!" Huang Chengyan reluctantly sat up and ordered: "Erlang, go and get those drawings."
Huang Huan was shocked and said: "Father, these drawings are your life's work. The killing is too heavy. You should wait until you wake up..."
"Sir, do you dare to disobey me?" Huang Chengyan pointed to the bookshelf: "Go get it!"
Huang Huan had no choice but to walk over, open a secret compartment, and flipped through it for a while before taking out a few volumes of ancient animal skins.
Liu Qi took it over and saw that it was a repeating crossbow, a catapult and a kind of foldable ladder. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Huang..., with such a sharp weapon, why worry about the Han Dynasty not being popular?"
"Brothers, why are you so polite?" Huang Chengyan waved his hand and said: "I'm going to the wine shop, go and get the wine quickly, get the wine..."
As he spoke, he lay down on the table and fell asleep. Huang Huan quickly stepped forward to support him and said helplessly: "Although the banquet is ready, it's just..."
Liu Qi picked up the drawing and said, "I'll take my leave first. You take good care of Mr. Huang and come back to have a drink with me next time."
When I stood up, I glanced at the bookshelf. There were still many good things hidden there. I would have to walk around more in the future.
