"I'm sorry, sir. What can I do for you?" Shin Min immediately stood up and asked.
"Why do you think we only provide two cups for the four of us? And the other one isn't even a set?" Mr. Qin pointed at the white porcelain cup in front of him which was obviously different from the Plum Blossom Cup and asked.
"Sir, we only provide a pot of liquor and a cup. The side dishes are all ordered separately. Except for the Drunkard's Peanuts and the Fried Chili Seeds which are provided by our restaurant, the other dishes with liquor are provided by Mr. Fang." Shin Min wasn't as eloquent as Zhou Jia. She just explained in a rigid manner.
"The dishes with liquor are ordered by Sister Yin." Shin Min thought for a while and added.
"Mr. Qin, since the liquor is here, why don't you taste it first?" This time, it wasn't Yin Ya who spoke first, but the director.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Qin asked with puzzlement when he saw the director staring at the pot of liquor without blinking.
"Here's the thing. You like drinking liquor, but you may not know much about porcelain. However, the pot and cup are good things, top-notch objects." The director refrained from reaching out his hand to take a look at them. He just praised them eagerly.
"Is it the small pot with flowers painted on it that looks beautiful?" Mr. Qin was only interested in the liquor and naturally didn't know much about other things.
"Yes. The cost of making this pot is much more expensive than the bottle of Bordeaux wine we drank the other day." The director nodded his head earnestly.
"Okay. If so, I'll taste it." Once Mr. Qin heard that, he didn't disgrace his status and said reluctantly.
After all, in Mr. Qin's opinion, a good bottle didn't necessarily mean the liquor was good, but he was qualified to taste it.
That's right. Mr. Qin was unhappy as soon as he arrived. In fact, he really didn't want to drink it. He wasn't a person who could drink any kind of liquor. Anyhow, it was between the companies and he couldn't just leave like that. If he did that, he would obviously not give face to others.
"It's all my fault. Once I hear good liquor, I can't move." Mr. Qin sighed inwardly and reached out his hand, preparing to open the pot and pour the liquor.
"Let me do it." The director received the pot courteously and prepared to open it himself.
When Shin Min saw that everything was fine, she walked away.
When Yuan Zhou was here, the customers who came to Yuanzhou shop to drink would chat with Yuan Zhou for a while. Otherwise, they would just slowly taste the wine or play some games to cheat others of their wine.
"Okay." Mr. Qin agreed readily and didn't refuse.
The director nodded, took the wine pot, and prepared to open it.
"It's really soft and smooth, like a beautiful jade," the director lamented.
The other three just looked at the director and didn't interrupt. After all, the three of them were amateurs to porcelain. Even if it was an antique, the three of them wouldn't be able to tell, not to mention that it wasn't an antique. It was just a high-end piece of porcelain.
What the Yuanzhou shop provided were delicacies, so the containers were naturally beautiful. Only in this way could they bring out the best in each other. However, even Yuan Zhou himself didn't know the price and preciousness of these beautiful containers.
"Bo", the director opened the lid of the teapot, emitting a light sound.
In an instant, the aroma of the wine filled the air.
"Um?" Mr. Qin immediately sat up straight and stared at the wine pot in the director's hand.
"Mr. Qin, the aroma smells really good." Even if the director didn't drink wine, he could still smell the difference from the cold and distant aroma.
"Indeed … very … good." Mr. Qin nodded his head. He couldn't even speak fluently, but his eyes still didn't leave the wine pot.
The director raised the wine pot and poured 70% of the wine into the matching plum blossom cup.
The wine in the plum blossom cup was so clear that the bottom could be seen. The color of the wine was light. As the cup was too thin, the bright red plum blossom painted on the outside was imprinted into the cup. After being immersed in the wine, it was like there was a plum blossom in the wine, emitting a delicate fragrance that penetrated to the bones.
"Good wine, good wine. The aroma is condensed and doesn't disperse. The smell is lingering but not overbearing. It's at least 10 years old." While smelling the aroma, Mr. Qin started to taste the wine.
Once Mr. Qin said that, the three of them let out a sigh of relief.
The director raised his eyes and looked at Yin Ya. Julie, the secretary general, also looked at Yin Ya and then turned back.
"As long as you like it." The director said with a smile.
"Of course." Mr. Qin received the wine cup gracefully and quickly and then held it in front of his eyes to observe it carefully.
"Then I'll drink a cup with you later." The big stone in the director's heart fell off at once and he said happily.
"No need, no need. Old Cheng, let me taste the wine first. You can talk about it later." Seeing that the director was about to pour the wine for himself, Mr. Qin immediately stopped him.
What a joke! Just by smelling the wine, he knew it was rare good wine. The wine pot was so small that it probably couldn't even fill a mouthful. How could he let others drink it?
Before he came here, he heard that the boss was very stubborn. He only drank one pot at a time, not one ounce more. Naturally, he had to cherish it.
"Er …" The director was speechless.
He heard that Mr. Qin was very protective of the wine, but it shouldn't be to the extent that he wouldn't let others taste it.
"I heard the dishes that go well with wine here are good. Old Cheng, have a taste." Perhaps feeling that he was a little impatient, Mr. Qin pointed at the dishes all over the table and said.
"Let's eat. Let's eat." After saying that, Mr. Qin didn't forget to call Yin Ya and Julie.
"Okay. I'll eat some dishes that go well with wine." Without saying anything more, the director prepared to eat the dishes with a happy face.
"Mr. Qin, this wine is called Bamboo Liquor. The bamboo here is the liquor. It's brewed with live bamboo." Yin Ya didn't move her chopsticks, but instead, she started to introduce the origin of the wine knowingly.
"Oh? Bamboo Liquor? "When Mr. Qin answered, he didn't even raise his head.
"Yes. Su Shi once said, 'I hate that Ba Shan Jun hasn't seen it yet. He will hold hands and get drunk with the Bamboo Liquor'. It refers to this Bamboo Liquor." Yin Ya's cultural attainment was quite high. She casually used Su Shi's poem as an introduction.
"Then I have to taste it carefully." After saying that, Mr. Qin drank a mouthful directly.
When the liquor entered his throat, it was only a little heavier than water. For an instant, Mr. Qin felt that what he drank wasn't wine. It wasn't spicy at all. Instead, it was like pear juice and sugarcane pulp that moistened his throat.
"Um." Mr. Qin snorted lightly with a satisfied and comfortable expression.
Then, the director and Julie became quite confident about the deal this time. After all, as long as Mr. Qin had good wine, everything would be easy.
"Sweet, mellow, beautiful and fragrant. It's really a good wine!" Mr. Qin suddenly opened his eyes and praised loudly.
"As long as you like it." Yin Ya poured another cup of liquor for him obediently.
"I like it. The taste of this liquor is really the first time I've tasted it in my life. It's incomparably wonderful." Mr. Qin shook his head and became so gentle as if he had changed into another person.
"Please drink another cup. There's another way to drink this liquor." Yin Ya handed the liquor to him smilingly.
"Oh? There's surprisingly another way to drink it? "Mr. Qin asked in surprise.
"Yes. It's a way to drink it similar to Shaojiu." Yin Ya nodded her head.
"Shaojiu? This liquor is obviously soft and smooth. How can it be spicy? "Mr. Qin took the cup and asked with puzzlement.
"You'll know in a while." Yin Ya kept him guessing.
"Okay. I have to taste it later." Mr. Qin didn't care about that. In his opinion, the liquor in front of him was the most important.
