Back to Twelve

150. Drink

Grandma's first anniversary is approaching, and Meng Zijun decides to go back to his hometown to visit her old man's grave. He thought this might be the last time he went home to visit his parents' graves.

Qin Haonan went home to accompany his parents for the New Year. He heard that Meng Zijun was going to take his daughter back to his hometown. Knowing that Meng Zijun's hometown was far away, he volunteered to help Meng Zijun drive. Meng Zijun didn't refuse, just said: "Hao Nan, my hometown is very backward, we plan to go back and stay for a few more days this time, you have to be mentally prepared."

Qin Haonan said: "I'm curious, what kind of backward place can actually raise such outstanding talents as your father and daughter."

"We, father and daughter, don't dare to be called talents, but compound talents like you are talents." Meng Zijun laughed.

Because Qin Haonan helped drive, Meng Zijun could sit in the back and rest. Qin Haonan drove fast and steadily. They set off at seven o'clock in the morning and arrived at the town where Meng Zijun and the others were located at five o'clock in the afternoon.

They decided to rest in the town for one night, and set off back to the village early the next morning.

After a rough day, Meng Zijun was very tired. After eating in a small restaurant, he rested in the hotel, while Meng Qingqing accompanied Qin Haonan to the town.

When she was a child, every time she went to the town to go to the market, Meng Qingqing felt that there were a lot of delicious and interesting things in the town, but now it seems that this small town is just three or four grocery stores, which is too small. The stores are still those few stores, but my own knowledge is different. So when I was a child, I thought that the grocery store was full of beautiful things, but now it seems so simple.

The streets in the town are very small, and they can be walked all at once. At the end of the street is the middle school, and next to the middle school is a small wine-making workshop, in the twilight. The aroma of this wine is bursting and intoxicating.

Meng Qingqing said: "It turns out that when I was studying here, when I was doing self-study at night, there was often a refreshing smell of wine from the workshop next to me. I often thought, no wonder many people like to drink, this wine smells so good .But I don’t know how it tastes like.”

"Since you want to drink it, why don't you take a sip and try what it tastes like?" Qin Haonan said.

"I'm a child. I'm a student! I heard that drinking alcohol for children will not only affect intelligence, but it's not good for a girl to drink alcohol, right?"

"You are such a good student, good girl! So your father can rest assured that you will be left alone in your hometown."

"I'm not alone. I still have grandma, but unfortunately you haven't met her. Grandma is a very kind old man..." Speaking of grandma,

Meng Qingqing felt dejected.

"What is this wine made of?" Qin Haonan asked.

"Sorghum!"

"Sorghum wine is good wine. It's fate to meet you. I have to go in and drink some." Qin Haonan said and pushed the door open.

The door was ajar. One push and it opens.

Inside, a girl was squatting and washing bottles, and when she heard the sound, she raised her head, "Qingqing, are you back?" She cried out in surprise, and ran to Meng Qingqing, shaking the water in her hand. Rub it all over your body.

It turned out to be Meng Zhaodi.

"Zhaodi. Why are you here?"

"I come here to work for food and shelter. One hundred and fifty a month." Meng Zhaodi said with a satisfied smile.

Qin Haonan frowned, "This treatment is too low!"

"It's not low, it's not easy for us to find a job here, just for this, how many people can't compete for it!"

"Qingqing, when did you come back?"

"I just arrived here today, I will stay in the town for one night, and I will return to the village tomorrow morning."

"Really? I'll go back to the village with you tomorrow morning. I have two days off every month here. I haven't taken it this month yet! Just take two days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Okay! We will leave at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and we will stay at the Ruyi Hotel." Meng Qingqing said.

Meng Zhaodi secretly glanced at Qin Haonan, and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll go there to find you tomorrow morning."

"Oh! By the way, are you here to buy wine?"

"Is it sorghum wine brewed here? If it's sorghum wine, just hit a little."

At this time, a fat man came out of the room, "Of course it's sorghum wine, authentic sorghum wine, as it is."

The fat man pointed to the sorghum piled beside him, "Look, this sorghum was bought from Shandong."

"I've drank it, and I'll know it once I taste it." Qin Haonan said.

The fat man said to Meng Zhaodi: "Go, get a bowl of wine."

Meng Zhaodi went to a room, and brought out a small bowl of wine after a while.

The fat man pointed at the wine served by Meng Zhaodi and said to Qin Haonan: "I see you are an expert, drink it and see!"

Qin Haonan took it from Meng Zhaodi's hand and took a sip, savoring it carefully, "It's sorghum wine, yes, but you mixed too much water, right?"

The fat man blushed, and he could drink it. "Wine is more or less mixed with a little water." Knowing that it can't be fooled by experts, he explained.

"I wanted to buy a little more, but the taste will not be pure if it is mixed with water, so let's buy a catty!"

Meng Zhaodi hurried to get a bottle of one catty wine out.

After paying the money, Qin Haonan and Meng Qingqing walked out of the winery. Back at the hotel, it was still early, but Meng Zijun had already fallen asleep. Qin Haonan was afraid of disturbing him, so he went to Meng Qingqing's room to watch TV. He was still carrying the bottle of wine he had just bought.

They chatted casually while watching TV, and Qin Haonan took a sip directly from the bottle from time to time.

In this simple hotel, Qin Haonan sat there casually, although he was drinking directly from the bottle, but he still had an indescribable elegance on his body, "Brother Haonan, thank you for being able to accompany us to this remote place , the village is even more remote, you will know when you go tomorrow."

Qin Haonan smiled, "It's nothing, as long as there are people who can live, I can go. I am very adaptable."

With that said, he took another sip of his wine.

Meng Qingqing suddenly burst into pride, "Is this wine really that delicious? I'll try it too to see how delicious it is."

Qin Haonan didn't say anything, just handed the wine bottle to her.

Meng Qingqing took it and took a sip. A strong spicy taste passed through the throat and entered the stomach. The wine has already reached the stomach, but the strong smell of alcohol still hits the nose.

"Yes, people who drink this kind of liquor for the first time are often choked by the rush. At least you didn't get choked."

"This wine is not as delicious as it is described in the book. It is irresistible and ecstasy."

"You have only tasted it, but you haven't experienced the real taste of the wine. It's like eating chili, you can eat it, and you can really taste its taste. Without chili, food has no taste, and the same is true for wine." (To be continued.) .)
