Chapter 850 Gambling and Drinking
Nakiri Senzaemon hit a wall at Yang Ming's shop and smacked his lips. He was addicted to alcohol and felt a fire burning in his heart.
Sighing secretly, in desperation, Nakiri Senzaemon had no choice but to turn around, go back to Totsuki Restaurant, and ask his granddaughter for a drink.
As the commander-in-chief of Shokugeki Spirit Totsuki Academy, even though Nakiri Senzaemon was low-key enough, he still caused the entire Totsuki restaurant to explode. The chefs who had been preparing to go home from work cheered up. A red carpet was laid out at the entrance of the restaurant. They stood in a row on both sides, bowed slightly and said in a loud voice:
"Welcome back!"
"Oh! You don't have to welcome me with such a big formation, right?" Nakiri Senzaemon waved his hand and signaled.
At this moment, a young and beautiful figure appeared in front of him.
"grandfather!"
With a crisp sound, Nakiri Erina flew into Nakiri Senzaemon's arms. If it was normal, she would never do this.
But in recent times, she has been hit hard. She originally thought that by establishing Totsuki Restaurant, she could overturn Yang Ming's small restaurant, but she was dismissed by Yang Ming one after another. This made the always proud Erina Nakiri feel... It’s extremely uncomfortable, and the pressure and responsibilities on my shoulders are increasing day by day.
Nakiri Senzaemon touched Nakiri Erina's hair, looked at the obvious fatigue on his granddaughter's face, and said distressedly:
"You've been very busy lately. Look, you've lost so much weight after not seeing me for a while."
"No way!" Nakiri Erina said proudly, her jade hands secretly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At this moment, Nakiri Senzaemon's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Nakiri Senzaemon touched his belly and smiled bitterly.
"I blame Yang Ming's shop opposite. The wine they brew is so fragrant that it makes me hungry."
"Grandpa! The wine in Yang Ming's shop is not as good as our own wine!" Nakiri Erina wrinkled her nose in displeasure, and pulled Nakiri Senzaemon into the Totsuki restaurant, "Let's go, I’ll prepare some good wine and food for grandpa so you can eat to your heart’s content!”
"Okay, okay!" Nakiri Senzaemon said lovingly.
With the arrival of Nakiri Senzaemon, Totsuki Restaurant naturally did not dare to neglect him. Even Siyingshi, who was defeated by Yang Ming and ranked first among the Totsuki Ten Elites, personally took action.
In a very short period of time, Siyingshi personally held a dish and a bottle of wine and placed them on Nakiri Senzaemon's table.
"Commander, please use it slowly!"
"Yo!" Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes suddenly lit up.
The dish consisted of small herrings fried to a crisp in butter, accompanied by a bottle of Mosel white wine.
Si Yingshi personally poured the wine for Nakiri Senzaemon and said: "This is the white wine made by Gaelsley Oriksburg, which is 40 years old."
"Is it actually the wine from there? That's really rare!" Nakiri Senzaemon sighed with emotion, "Gersler is a small village in the Moser River Basin, and almost no one outside Germany knows about it. This is Wine cultivation is extremely rare, and the yield of the vineyard is very small, making it almost impossible for outsiders to get it. It seems that you have put a lot of effort into getting the wine there!"
Si Yingshi bowed slightly.
"This is what we should do."
Nakiri Senzaemon glanced at Siyingshi and said with emotion: "Mossel white wine is a good thing, but only those who know wine know how to drink it. You have to drink red wine first. There is no better way." This wine is more ideal. Many people use Rhine white wine instead because they don’t know that there is a better wine. Rhine white wine will destroy the deliciousness of red wine. Did you know that when drinking red wine? Before wine, white wine from the Rhine was a disgrace. But a bottle of Mosel white wine is perfect."
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Nakiri Erina said coquettishly, "When it comes to wine, you always talk about it."
Nakiri Senzaemon slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Hey! My fault, my fault! I shouldn't have neglected my precious granddaughter!"
Nakiri Senzaemon raised his glass, "Erina, grandpa apologizes to you, come on, cheers!"
"Grandpa, it's true!" Nakiri Erina exclaimed, raised her wine glass, touched it with Nakiri Senzaemon, and let out a cheer.
Nakiri Senzaemon shook the glass, letting the white wine swirl in the bottom of the glass as much as possible. The light and elegant aroma of the wine wafted out, making people enjoy it very much.
After taking a small sip, he seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, standing there motionless, with his eyes closed, a look of confusion and enjoyment on his face.
After a while, he finally opened his eyes, squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed affectionately: "Yes, after taking it into your throat, your whole body feels comfortable, as if you are wandering in a warm sea of flowers. It is warm and intoxicating, not bad!"
Si Yingshi looked proud and said respectfully: "It is my great honor to receive your highest praise!"
Seeing how much Nakiri Senzaemon likes wine tasting, a thought flashed through Siyingshi's mind and he said:
"Commander, I see that you like wine so much. I have some suggestions here. Just think of it as a way to have some fun. How about gambling on wine?"
"Wine gambling?" Nakiri Erina looked at Siyingshi strangely and said, "What is gambling and drinking?"
Si Yingshi explained: "Betting on wine means that I take out a bottle of wine and ask the commander-in-chief to go through the three steps of smelling, tasting and feeling, and then tell the information about the wine. The more and more detailed the information, the better the test will be. How good a person is at wine.”
“When a professional wine taster tastes a bottle of red wine, as long as the wine is not a famous brand like Lafitte or Latour, he can only come close to naming the vineyard. Of course, he can tell you that this wine comes from the Bordeaux region, or from the county of Saint-Emilion, the county of Pomeroy, the county of Graves, or the county of Medoc. But every county has it. There are several towns and villages, and each village has many, many small vineyards. It is impossible for a person to fully identify them just by tasting and smelling them. I might as well tell you that I got them here This wine comes from a small vineyard surrounded by many other small vineyards, and the commander-in-chief will never know about it. This is impossible."
"Hey!" Nakiri Senzaemon's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea. Hurry up and get the wine. I want to take a closer look and see what kind of problems you can come up with that can make it hard for me."
The thought of betting another drink revived his interest.
Seeing this, Si Yingshi smiled politely.
He hurried out the door. After a while, he walked back slowly and gently, grabbed a basket containing wine bottles with both hands, and then took out a dark wine bottle. The label on the bottle is pointed downward, making it difficult to read.
