Mysterious city

As a "senior lover of red wine", Lu Yunru certainly knows as much about red wine as Jiang Zhe.

So she could easily see that Zhang Chao's so-called "famous wine" was just a fake, not to mention that his disguise was very poor.

But neither Lu Yunru nor Jiang Zhe directly exposed Zhang Chao.

Because the two of them knew that if they didn't understand red wine and wanted to act like a big-headed fool, they would definitely make a fool of themselves in a short while, and there was no need for them to take the initiative to attack.

Sure enough, when Lin Lu and Yang Xiaoting heard that these bottles of wine were so valuable, their eyes immediately shone.

They were eager to pour out the wine and drink it before opening the bottle and sobering up the wine.

"Brother Zhang, looking at you drinking such expensive dry white, you must be a wine lover, right?"

"I guess during the days when I was studying abroad in Oxford, Brother Zhang must have been in the company of famous wines all day long."

Jiang Zhe suppressed his laughter and joked.

Hearing what Jiang Zhe said, Zhang Chao showed a proud look on his face, pretending to be serious and said with a hint of sadness: "Yes, Xiao Jiang, you are really right."

"When you are alone in a foreign country, you will always feel a little sad. Every time I think of my parents, I will open a bottle of expensive wine to drown my sorrow."

Zhang Chao thought about it, you stinky boy, and finally knew to follow what I said, and it was not in vain that I spent so much effort to lay the groundwork.

In order to make his words sound more sad and unique to the "old aristocracy", Zhang Chao also temporarily replaced his father and mother with "father above mother", always feeling that this sounds more authentic.

Seeing Zhang Chao mistook his ridicule as flattery, Jiang Zhe felt helpless and funny. He could only joke with a weird expression: "Since Brother Zhang loves fine wine so much, why doesn't he know that he has to sober up before drinking it?" Woolen cloth?"

"Sober up?" Zhang Chao was stunned at first, and after a full two or three seconds, he realized what he was doing. He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, I still need to sober up, I forgot about it!"

This guy used to eat skewers and drink beer, but he didn't drink expensive red wine every day as he boasted.

Zhang Chao has almost never drunk even the promotional wine worth tens of hundreds of yuan. He doesn't know that it is natural to sober up.

A few days ago, Zhang Chao wouldn't have been so "meticulously prepared" if Lin Lu hadn't had a whim to hold a girlfriends' party, and insisted that everything be done in a European style in order to highlight her B style.

No, he specially customized a suit. In order to make himself look more like an "elite turtle", Zhang Chao made a special trip to the supermarket and bought a few bottles of wine that were not on the promotion cabinet because he was worried about doing so. It would be too fake.

But no matter how Zhang Chao didn't understand the rules of wine tasting, he had seen it on TV several times.

I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs running away. Zhang Chaozhen knew the procedure of "sobering up", but he didn't know how to sober up.

As for the decanter, it is even less likely that Zhang Chao has one at home.

Seeing Zhang Chao's bewildered look, Jiang Zhe had guessed what he was thinking. He smiled and patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhang, you are a senior wine connoisseur. Shouldn't you be at home?" There won’t be a decanter, right?”

After being exposed by Jiang Zhe's words, Zhang Chao was immediately embarrassed and his face turned a deep red color.

Even so, he still said stubbornly: "Fuck, fart, why don't I have a decanter at home? You, wait, I will go find it!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chao stood up and started rummaging around, but both he and Jiang Zhe knew very well, how could they find something that didn't exist at all?

After being exposed by Jiang Zhe one after another, Lin Lu and Yang Xiaoting also looked at Zhang Chao's rummaging with suspicion and did not help him anymore. They had obviously doubted Zhang Chao's identity.

Especially Lin Lu, no matter how stupid she was, Zhang Chao revealed so many flaws in just a short period of time, which made her doubt whether her boyfriend's identity as "tall, rich and handsome" was disguised.

If that were the case, Lin Lu would have escaped earlier. After all, she and Zhang Chao were not together because of some legendary love, but purely for money and interests.

The same goes for Yang Xiaoting. After all, Zhang Chao and Gu Teng are inseparable like she and Lin Lu.

If Zhang Chao's identity is reasonable, then Gu Teng, as his good friend, will naturally not be any better.

Only Gu Teng, who knew Zhang Chao thoroughly, looked at Zhang Chao solemnly. Of course he knew that he and Zhang Chao were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

If Zhang Chao is exposed, then he is not far away from being exposed.

But even so, Gu Teng didn't dare to open his mouth to protect his "good brother".

Because the development of the matter was beyond their control, Gu Teng and Zhang Chao certainly did not expect that "Xiao Jiang" would be so difficult to deal with.

If he spoke rashly at this time, he might also expose his flaws. He is now a clay Buddha who cannot save himself when crossing the river. How can he have the leisure to care about Zhang Chao!

Gu Teng knew that after all, he was only a "second generation demolition" rather than a "second generation rich", so Yang Xiaoting was already the best-looking horse he had ever caught since his family became successful.

Even if he didn't really plan to marry Yang Xiaoting, he still hadn't had enough of this money-worshiping girl. How could he let all his previous hard work go to waste?

Everyone just looked at Zhang Chaobai's work coldly. Jiang Zhe certainly knew that even if Zhang Chao dug three feet into the ground tonight, he would not be able to find the decanter.

Although Jiang Zhe didn't mind watching Zhang Chao make a fool of himself, he also didn't want to see Lu Yunru waste his time on something that was unlikely to have any results after finally having a best friend gathering.

So he looked around, picked up an empty bottle, and said to Zhang Chao: "Brother Zhang, if you can't find the decanter, just forget it. It's the same thing to find something similar to replace it."

The so-called decanter, to put it bluntly, is actually a bottle with a narrow top and a wide bottom. It is not something tall and irreplaceable.

As long as the wine can be in contact with the air, the sediment in the wine can be separated, and the aroma of the wine can be fully evaporated, the effect of any gadget will be almost the same.

When he saw someone coming to his rescue, even though it was Jiang Zhe, whom Zhang Chao didn't want to see, he finally found a way to get down. He still walked down the slope and said with a clear face: "Oh, yes, Xiao Jiang is right. , it’s the same thing if you use this bottle instead.”

In fact, he had only seen a decanter once or twice in TV dramas, and Zhang Chao had long forgotten what it looked like.

Although he pretended to be familiar with this, his sigh of relief still betrayed Zhang Chao.

Under Jiang Zhe's guidance, about ten minutes later, when he thought that the peculiar smell in the wine had dissipated and the oxidation was fully completed, he poured the wine for everyone.

After waiting for so long, Yang Xiaoting had already become impatient. After all, she had never drank "more than 20,000 yuan" in a bottle of famous wine.

But just as she couldn't wait to swallow a big mouthful, she choked and coughed repeatedly, her whole face turned into a ball of pain, and her makeup was almost smeared by her distorted facial features.

"W-what kind of wine is this? It's so astringent!"

After a while, Yang Xiaoting seemed to have recovered from the pain and complained repeatedly.

Hearing her best friend say this, Lin Lu would have been angry on Zhang Chao's behalf before.

But after what happened just now, even Lin Lu now had doubts about Zhang Chao's status as a "rich, handsome" man.

So she stopped "protecting the calf" and took a sip of the dry white wine in the cup.

After discovering that the dry white taste was indeed as bitter as Yang Xiaoting said, Lin Lu's face turned cold and she asked sternly: "Zhang Chao, didn't you say that this wine costs more than 20,000 yuan per bottle? How can it taste so bad!"

Lin Lu's sudden change of attitude made Zhang Chao break into a cold sweat. It seemed that you really got what you paid for.

If you try to pass off a low-quality dry white worth more than 200 yuan as a world-famous wine worth more than 20,000 yuan, the secret will eventually be revealed!

But Zhang Chao understood that at times like this, he couldn't be cowardly, let alone admit it.

Otherwise, the "rich second generation" persona that I have worked so hard to build will be in vain, and I will end up with the identity of a liar!

So Zhang Chao was quick to think, and with a swivel of his wretched little eyes, he took advantage of the situation.

"Well, it's indeed more than 20,000 yuan a bottle. How could I lie to you, Xiaolu."

"Let me try it. Will such a good wine be astringent?"

As he spoke, Zhang Chao drank a large sip of the dry white wine in the glass, and at the same time pretended to smack his mouth twice, as if he was tasting it carefully.

After two seconds passed, Zhang Chao spent a lot of effort to suppress the bitter taste, pretended to find out the truth, pointed at Jiang Zhe as if he suddenly realized, "It's because of him!"

Jiang Zhe was suddenly troubled by Zhang Chao. Before he could figure out what was going on, Zhang Chao continued: "He made a mistake in the process of sobering up and ruined such a good bottle of wine. This will happen!"

Zhang Chao's words almost shocked Jiang Zhe so much that his jaw dropped to the ground. He had never seen such a shameless person.

This was the first time Jiang Zhe heard that the process of sobering up could be wrong.

The reason why these dry whites taste so astringent is because wine inherently has a bitter taste, especially dry whites.

And whether it's Zhang Chao or Yang Xiaoting, the amount they drink in one gulp is too big.

Wine is not beer. Dry whites are meant to be savored slowly and carefully, rather than drank all in one go like beer.

Furthermore, the bottles of dry white that Zhang Chao bought seemed to be inferior products from a small store. Not to mention famous wines, he didn’t even know whether they passed the inspection or not.

All kinds of factors are added together, and if this dry white tastes good, it would be crazy.

In short, what is certain is that Jiang Zhe can absolutely guarantee that there is nothing wrong with the way he sobers up.

Besides, he helped Zhang Chao sober up, which was a relief for him.

Who would have thought that this guy, with good intentions, would actually retaliate with kindness and blame it on himself!
