Smelling the aroma of wine in the air, Gu Ning'an smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have a taste."
When they reached the boat tent, Gu Ning'an saw that the entire ground inside the boat tent was filled with wine jars.
It's no wonder that Old Man Wen didn't lie down in the canopy of the boat. There was no place for him to stay.
Wei Hai moved a few wine jars, placed them on the only old low wooden table in the canopy, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, please sit down."
After sitting down cross-legged, Gu Ning'an smelled a strong smell of alcohol from Wei Hai's body: "Brother Wei, how much wine have you drunk... Although this wine can satisfy your craving, drinking too much will It hurts your body."
"Don't mention it. I've been drinking it all my life. I thought it would hurt my body, but it didn't happen at all!" As he spoke, Wei Gaohai opened the wine cork and pushed the jar in front of Gu Ning'an.
Just when Gu Ning'an was about to pick up the wine jar, Wei Hai seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! This wine is too strong, I'm afraid, sir, I won't be used to it. You'd better mix it with some water..." ..Otherwise if this jar of wine goes down, I’m afraid you’ll have to sleep all the way to Jiangling Mansion!”
Seeing Wei Hai hand over a water bag, Gu Ning'an smiled and waved his hand: "No, I want to taste how strong this wine is. Can it make me sleep for two days at a stretch?"
Thinking that Gu Ning'an wanted to save face, Wei Hai hurriedly shouted to the old beggar and Li Xunshan outside the boat tent: "Hey, you two have drank my wine. You said this wine is not mixed with water, can you?" Drunk to death!"
"Mr. Gu, he didn't lie to you. This wine is really strong. I drank it once before Brother Wei's wine shop closed... That time I didn't have the energy to work for three days and I was completely drunk. of!"
"This Fatty Wei is not lying. I watched his wine shop open and close. Those good drinkers who did not believe in evil were all knocked down by his drinks... Mr. Gu, how can you Don’t drink water without mixing it with water just to save your face...you will be punished..."
The voices of Li Xunshan and the old beggar rang out one after another, which made Gu Ning'an's curiosity even more intense: "It doesn't matter, my drinking capacity is really not bad, let me take a sip and give it a try... If I notice something bad, , I will naturally spit it out."
Hearing this, all three people on the boat fell silent.
After all, they had said it for this reason, and if Gu Ning'an still didn't believe in evil, there was really nothing they could do.
Wei Hai, who invited Gu Ning'an to drink, looked even more embarrassed. He was neither advancing nor retreating.
But then he thought again, at worst, as long as this stubborn gentleman looked drunk or drunk, he would just find a way to induce vomiting.
"Since Mr. Gu insists on trying it, let's try it...remember to take a sip."
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an nodded slightly, picked up the wine jar and took a sip into his mouth.
The wine is turbid and has a rough grainy texture. After entering the mouth, a strong spicy flavor hits the nose.
It is indeed a strong drink, and the feeling in the mouth is comparable to the 52-proof liquor of later generations!
You know, the wine-making technology of ordinary people today is nothing compared to that of later generations!
Such a strong drink can be brewed in this era, and its craftsmanship is definitely one of the best in the world!
It’s no wonder that the three people on the boat advised him to mix it with water and drink it. If an ordinary person drank this wine in a hurry, he would probably fall drunk!
"Good wine!" After praising, Gu Ningan took another sip of wine.
When the strong liquor enters the throat, the rough grainy texture turns into a line along with the burning stimulation, straight from the throat to the abdominal cavity.
"Hey!" Seeing Gu Ning'an take two big mouthfuls in a row, Wei Hai couldn't help but want to stop him, but seeing that the other person didn't even choke, he just made a sound.
Gu Ning'an put down the wine jar and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, don't worry, this wine is strong, but I seem to be able to accept it. There is no need to mix it with water."
As soon as these words were spoken, the sound of rowing in front of the boat stopped, and there was a "squeaking" sound from behind the boat. The sound was like the sound of someone moving on the board of the boat and squeezing the wooden planks.
The next second, the old beggar stuck his head into the canopy of the boat. He stared at Gu Ning'an with a pair of cloudy eyes for a while. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he laughed and said: "Okay, okay, Wei Hai... You are like meeting someone who drinks your wine for the first time and doesn’t choke or get drunk.”
"You drunkard, I'm afraid you've found a soulmate!"
Wei Hai had no intention of paying attention to the old beggar's joking words. He picked up the wine bottle, touched the wine jar in front of Gu Ning'an, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. has a good drinking capacity, I will I can clink glasses with you with peace of mind!"
Gu Ning'an picked up the wine jar and said with a smile, "Brother Wei, this wine is really good!"
"Just average!" Wei Hai took a sip of wine and laughed heartily: "I missed a lot of steps when brewing this wine, otherwise it would be absolutely smooth."
"Oh?" Gu Ning'an finally understood that the "rough" feeling in the wine was caused by Wei Hai on purpose: "Brother Wei, why did you deliberately make this wine so bitter that it is difficult to enter your throat? "
"This..." Wei Hai's expression froze, and after a moment of silence, he took a swig of wine, and a lot of wine dripped down the corner of his mouth, wetting the front of his clothes: "This wine is too strong. , if someone accidentally drinks too much, his life may be in danger..."
After saying this, Wei Hai put on a smile again without waiting for Gu Ning'an's response: "Come on, don't talk about this, if there is a chance, I will let you taste my fine wine... ..”
"It's not easy to meet someone like my husband who can drink with me today. You have to drink a few more drinks with me."
"Sure, don't wait until then. I'll drink most of this drink. Brother Wei will feel bad for me!"
Seeing that the other party had something to hide, Gu Ningan followed the other party's topic and did not ask more questions about the rough wine.
"Hi!" Wei Hai said in a high tone: "Sir, let alone drink most of it. As long as you can drink, even if you drink all the wine in this canopy, I won't even frown!"
"Then I'm welcome!" Gu Ning'an responded with a smile, then picked up the wine jar and drank another round with Wei Hai.
In front of the boat, the sound of rowing water was heard again. Li Xunshan still seemed a little worried that Gu Ning'an had drunk too much, so he reminded him loudly: "When we enter the main stream of Xiangjiang River, the boat will rock violently. Let's drink together. But if you drink too much, you will feel dizzy!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for reminding me that Gu is not the kind of person who is greedy for drinking. If you are tired from rowing, come in and have a few drinks to rest... Just let Gu take over the rowing."
Seeing that Gu Ning'an's speaking speed and tone did not change at all, Li Xunshan didn't say much and just responded with a smile: "My Yue'er won't let me drink outside, so you can drink."
