Su Luo's face was filled with excitement, and she looked at Xiao Yu doubtfully, "No? Why not?"
Xiao Yu wants to say, why doesn't it work? Don't you have an idea in your mind?
A girl is sitting among a group of gentlemen drinking wine?
Not to mention anything else, can your body bear it?
Especially for a group of gentlemen who like to drink. If you want to talk business with someone, you can't refuse their offer of wine. When the time comes, you will drink one cup at a time, and who will be responsible if you drink too much!
If there is something to drink, there is something to feel sad about.
But Xiao Yu couldn't say this.
He could only look at Su Luo's eyes and say: "Didn't the shopkeeper tell me that I want to talk about the drinking culture with these bosses? If you drink too much, can you talk? Have you drank before? You know?
How much do you drink? Do you know what you drink? Will you not go crazy if you drink too much?"
Xiao Yu asked five questions in succession, leaving Su Luo speechless.
She had never drank before, so she didn't know how much she could drink, she didn't know her taste, and she didn't know if she would go crazy if she drank too much, especially when she had so many things pressing down on her heart...
But if you don't drink, you can't do business.
Xiao Yu sighed, "I'll drink."
Su Luo immediately shook her head, "That's not possible, there are quite a few of them. Let's beg people to talk about business. When the time comes, you can't refuse when people ask for drinks. What if you drink too much!"
This actually resonates with her brother Xiao.
Xiao Yu was in a slightly better mood and smiled slightly, "It's not bad to drink. Brother Xiao, you have a good drinking capacity. I'll let you see what you're capable of later. Stop trying to push and pull things off and on with me."
Su Luo was truly sorry.
Normally, the two Xiao brothers take care of and help them enough, and her only reward is to give them one or two meals a day.
Rubbing her fingers, Su Luo didn't refuse. She knew rationally that what Xiao Yu said was right. She looked at Xiao Yu's beautiful peach blossom eyes and said in a consultative tone, "Then, after the business is negotiated, I will
Can I get you a dividend?"
There was a softness in the tone of the discussion, which made people want to reach out and pinch her lips. They also wanted to taste what kind of mouth it was and why she spoke so beautifully.
Su Luo had half prepared some words. If Xiao Yu refused, she would use those words to persuade him.
In the end, Xiao Yu didn't even blink an eyelid, and he didn't show any false politeness to her, "Okay, then I'll make a fortune with Boss Su. I'm investing based on my ability, right? I'm not a pretty boy who is just a freeloader?"
This sentence made Su Luo laugh, and most of the feeling of feeling sorry for Xiao Yu disappeared.
She was helping her sincerely, how could she be pretentious?
The two of them were talking, and there was lively chatter and laughter outside. Then the door to the private room was pushed open by the shopkeeper from the outside, and several men, either fat or thin, tall or short, filed in from the outside.
They are the bosses mentioned by the shopkeeper earlier.
Counting Su Luo and Xiao Yu, there are eight people at the table.
The shopkeeper wanted to help Su Luo, so he put the tasting braised water that Su Luo had brought in bowls, divided it into seven portions, mixed it with the dishes on the table, and placed one portion in front of the hosts. Su Luo and Xiao Yu stood in front of them.
We put one together.
Maybe I don't know how to use chopsticks now, but if I drink the wine, I will eat the marinated water. As long as this thing is eaten in my mouth, it will definitely taste delicious.
When everything was ready, the shopkeeper gave Su Luo a cheering look and left with a smile.
"Is this the witch hazel that is popular in Yuhang area?"
The owner of Fuyuan Restaurant picked up a wine jar from the ground and just opened it. Xiao Yu said in a rather casual tone.
The atmosphere at the table originally made Su Luo feel a little uncomfortable. The discomfort was not the discomfort of being embarrassed, nor the discomfort of being ostracized. It was completely different from the discomfort she felt at the family banquet at the Zhenning Hou Mansion.
It's just a bit...uncomfortable as a simple little girl sitting among a group of big men.
Su Luo has never seen much of the big world, so it's good to be able to work hard to maintain a calm appearance.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu was right next to her. If it were just her...if it were just her, she might not have time to think about her own discomfort.
People will think more when they have support. Without support, they will be invincible.
As soon as Xiao Yu opened his mouth, Su Luo felt as if a switch had been triggered. As the aroma of the wine wafted out, she said, "The fragrance of plums is so strong, like wintersweet."
Several owners thought that the young man selling braised sesame water was just here to promote their braised sesame water, but unexpectedly he actually knew something about it.
In the meantime, a rather elegantly dressed owner looked at Su Luo with a smile, and handed the first glass of wine poured by the owner of Fuyuan Restaurant directly to Su Luo, "Little brother, you know about wine? Why don't you guess what age this wine is?"
"
If you want to guess the age of a wine, you have to taste it.
But Xiao Yu didn't want her to drink, and Su Luo was afraid that if she really couldn't drink enough, she smiled and leaned forward to take the wine glass. Su Luo put the glass to the tip of her nose, smelled it, and frowned.
.
The boss who asked the question smiled and said, "How?"
Others also looked at Su Luo with smiles.
There is no malice in the smile.
Xiao Yu also looked at her, "It's okay, we won't hit you if you say something wrong."
His well-timed joke, which was neither too high nor too low, made the tension in Su Luo's heart go away, and also made the atmosphere at the wine table better.
Su Luo said to the bosses: "I smell it, it doesn't seem to be old, it seems to have just been brewed for three to five months, and the aroma of the koji has not completely dissipated."
As soon as these words came out, the gentlemen at the table, including Xiao Yu, were all shocked.
"You can still smell it? It's amazing. This wine has just been out of the cellar for four months. I don't want to trick anyone. Have you drank it before?"
Xiao Yu accepted this and said for Su Luo: "My brother can't drink. He gets rash all over his body when he drinks. We have a small business and we can't afford such expensive witch hazel."
After a pause, he picked up the glass of wine that the owner of the Fuyuan Restaurant had poured for him, stood up, and said, "I would like to toast all of you, uncles, and thank you for giving a small business like ours a chance."
Xiao Yu asked about drinks before, but Witch Hazel asked casually, but now he toasted with great solemnity.
After finishing the cup, Su Luo picked up the cup that Su Luo had just received and drank it in one gulp.
His attitude made several bosses feel very happy.
One of the bosses clicked his tongue, "Have you really never drank before? I've only heard people say that some people are so talented that they can tell the quality of drinks just by smelling them. I didn't believe it before, but now I do.
What, Lao Zhao, don’t you have a jar of home-brewed wine over there? Take it out and let us little brothers smell it.”
He paused and looked at Su Luo, his eyes filled with warmth.
"If you, little brother, can smell the secret of this wine, for this order, our tavern will directly sign for you for three barrels."
Su Luo:......
Just stunned.
In the past, she had only heard people say that when men talk about things, everything is easy to talk about if the wine is drunk at the table.
She still felt it was outrageous.
This is really...
Can she say that she is looking forward to it now, the more outrageous the better?
