"What does it taste like?" Eriyi was a little curious about the wine here.
"Let's go take a look?" Lu Mingfei suggested.
If you don’t drink secretly, just see if it’s not illegal, right?
But while looking at it, if one of the wine bottles that Eriyi wanted to try happened, really happened to break a small opening, and the precious wine inside leaked out, in order not to waste it, Eriyi used her little mouth to help Take it, it’s not illegal, right?
Of course it's not illegal. This is a good deed by a good person. Not only did this precious good wine not go to waste, but it also prevented the wine racks and floors of Meiji Shrine from being soiled. He is really a good citizen with a public order and a warm heart. If Lu Mingfei was like this The person in charge of Meiji Jingu Shrine can’t wait to give Erashi a small red flower!
Lu Mingfei led Hui Liyi to the tall wine rack. Jars of white wine bottles were neatly arranged on the shelf. They were made of ceramic and each jar was as big as Lu Mingfei's head.
"Seven Sages", "Shannan", "Shengsheng", "Yamazaki"... There are all kinds of wines with names that you have heard of but not heard of. The collection here is quite complete, of course those produced in small workshops, Or wine that is too cheap can’t be found here.
A white boundary line was drawn in front of the wine rack. It was said to be a boundary line, but it was actually just a few white hemp ropes supported by wooden sticks. Thin flags were hung on the wooden sticks, which was probably some kind of distinction. A symbol of the human and divine realms.
This kind of east-west road obviously could not be crossed with one foot, but he did not do so because there was a "no tourists allowed" sign next to the wine rack. Perhaps this was to prevent some foreign tourists from not understanding the words on the sign. This sign was translated into sixteen languages including Chinese, Japanese and English.
If he just broke in, he would be a thief or a robber. Lu Mingfei still had this quality. Lu Mingfei looked at him and stood outside the boundary line, and tried to get inside enough, but found that at this distance, his hand I almost came across those wine bottles. It seemed that my little idea of drinking secretly was put on hold.
"Sakura." Eriki on the side suddenly shouted.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei approached.
"It's Sakura, your name is here." Eriki pointed to a small, less conspicuous sign that stood alone next to the wine rack.
"It really does." Lu Mingfei saw the name "Sakura Lu Mingfei" written on the small sign, still in Chinese. He pointed to the bottom of his name, "Eri Yi, your name is also there. ”
There were only the names of Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi on the whole small sign, and then there was a simple arrow pointing to something in front of the wine bottle. Lu Mingfei led Hui Liyi and walked over, and found that it was a coffee bottle. There is a machine that looks like a machine. Next to the machine is a small table with two stacks of tall wine bowls on it.
There was a simple manual about this machine. Lu Mingfei picked up the manual and flipped through it. He could easily understand it. The general meaning was that this machine was connected to all the wines on the wine rack. Select the manual. Set the serial number, press the button, and the corresponding wine will flow out. The two stacks of wine bowls must be used to catch the wine.
Lu Mingfei stretched his head and looked sideways, and found that there was indeed a fiber conduit behind the machine. The conduit extended all the way to the wine rack and branched out. The thin pipes were connected to the back of each wine bottle... I want to drink. The wine was actually drawn from these wine bottles on the spot.
Lu Mingfei turned to the last page of the instruction manual. Apart from the concise description of "stealing the wine machine", there was only a simple sentence on the last page.
"Don't drink too much."
Combined with the small sign that led Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi here, it is not difficult to see that this was prepared for them a long time ago. The person who organized all this had long expected that Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi would see this place. The wine club wanted to try it, so we specially arranged a drinking service for them, which was considerate and self-service.
"Your brother is really a fucking talent!" Lu Mingfei was so moved by Yuan Zhisheng's considerate service that he couldn't control himself from swearing in front of Eryi.
"Are they all drinkable?" Eli Yi looked at the magical "wine stealing machine", her eyes sparkling.
"Well, you can drink everything. You can taste whatever you want. Your brother said so." Lu Mingfei nodded, picked up the wine bowl, and reminded Eliyi, "But don't drink too much. It's your brother too." As you said, which one Eriyi wants to drink, I’ll pick it up for you.”
"I want 'Dayosheng', and I want the plum flavor." Eriki read out the name of the wine she just saw, "Sakura is really good."
Lu Mingfei adjusted the serial number corresponding to that kind of wine, and then picked up the bowl to help Hui Liyi pick up the wine... Hui Liyi praised him so much, which made him feel quite useful, but Yuan Zhisheng would probably be very reluctant to hear it. .
All Minamoto's thoughts and preparations, he just helped to pick up the drinks. In the end, in Eri's mouth, the best one was Sakura... It's really pitiful for all the brothers in the world, but if I also have an Eri Yi is such a cute and well-behaved sister, so I will pamper her unconditionally.
A normal cute person shouldn't be able to reject a cute girl like Eri, right? The fat house will do double the damage!
After taking a big gulp of "Dayangsheng" in one breath, Eliyi "hissed" and stuck out her tongue from the spicy taste.
"Drink slowly." Lu Mingfei looked at Hui Liyi's appearance and reminded with a bit of laughter, "How can anyone drink like this? It's not like Snowflake or Bravely Entering the World."
"It doesn't taste good, what should I do?" Eri held the half-empty wine bowl and looked at Lu Mingfei eagerly. It can be seen that Eri is indeed very virtuous. She didn't want to waste the wine, so she asked Lu Mingfei for help and wanted Lu Mingfei to help her solve it.
"I'll drink it, Eri, you look at what else you want to try, I'll help you take less." Lu Mingfei took the wine bowl from Eri and took a sip.
It was indeed very spicy. This was not plum wine at all, but green plum-flavored shochu. The degree was very high and it was considered a strong liquor. The sweetness of the green plum was almost covered by the strong taste of wine. No wonder Eri didn't like to drink it.
But fortunately, Eri just felt spicy and was not easy to get drunk. Even the high-proof alcohol would not have such a big impact on Eri's super mixed blood. Otherwise, Yuan Zhisheng would not dare to let Lu Mingfei and Eri drink like this, otherwise the bride and groom would get drunk and there was no guarantee of what kind of embarrassment they would make in front of the guests.
Lu Mingfei finished the "Dayangsheng" left by Eriyi. Lu Mingfei has a good alcohol tolerance. He started drinking Erguotou with his uncle in high school. This little soju is far from enough to make him drunk. When Lu Mingfei looked at the empty bowl of wine he had finished, he suddenly felt that he and Eriyi had become an old couple.
Because in Lu Mingfei's memory, his uncle and aunt were like this. Occasionally, the aunt would subconsciously give the food that she couldn't finish to the uncle, and the uncle seemed to be happy to finish his wife's "leftovers". Although there were not many such situations, Lu Mingfei was very careful to capture several times. Although they have been together for many years, this is probably the appearance of love in ordinary life, Lu Mingfei thought.
Lu Mingfei helped Eriyi get a few more bottles of wine that she wanted to try, but Eriyi didn't seem to be satisfied with them because the alcohol content was too high and she couldn't taste anything except the spicy taste. For a girl like Eriyi who had hardly ever drunk alcohol, Lu Mingfei thought that Eriyi should like sweeter wine, similar to milk beer or pineapple beer.
Of course, adhering to the principle of eliminating waste, Lu Mingfei helped Eriyi finish all the wine she didn't finish.
"Japanese local wines may not suit Eriyi's taste. How about we try the ones across the street?" Lu Mingfei pointed to the wine rack across the street. "Those foreign wines seem to have dozens of wines, cognacs and so on. Let's go see if there are any suitable for girls to drink?"
Eriyi nodded and left these local wines that ordinary office workers might not be able to afford a bottle of with several years' salary, but were labeled as "very unpalatable" in her mind without mercy, hoping that the wine on the rack across the street would taste better.
The wine on the wine rack opposite is no longer in upright bottles, but in horizontal barrels. It is said that these wines have been fermenting in wooden barrels since they left the vineyards. They have not been processed or treated, and have always retained their original flavor. The production year of most of the wines is even older than Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi.
There is also an identical machine on this side, which can "steal wine" from the barrels. Lu Mingfei took the initiative to choose a French wine for Hui Liyi that Caesar invited him to drink at the Kassel College Student Meeting. After receiving a bowl of wine with ease, Hui Liyi couldn't wait to receive it, but was stopped by Lu Mingfei.
"Wait a moment, I still need to sober up the wine." Lu Mingfei looked at the wine in the wine bowl that was as rich as a ruby, and he gently shook the wine bowl clockwise.
"What is decanting?" Eri asked curiously, "Will wine fall asleep?"
"Eri is right. Wine will fall asleep if it is brewed for too long." Lu Mingfei was amused by Eri, and then explained, "Decanting means letting the wine fully contact with the air, and accelerating the oxidation process of the wine to release its original aroma. After the wine has 'breathed', a substance called 'tannin' in it will be softened, and the taste will be improved a lot. At the same time, decanting is to separate the wine from the fragile, bitter sediments and aggregates formed at the bottom due to aging, so that the miscellaneous flavors and odors can evaporate and dissipate, and the floral and fruity aromas of the wine itself can be restored, making the taste richer, mellower and smoother."
"Sakura knows a lot." As the leader of Lu Mingfei's praise group, Eri did not hesitate to praise Lu Mingfei when it was time to exert her strength.
"It's not that I know a lot, many things are learned and applied at the same time." Lu Mingfei said a little embarrassedly.
But now thinking back, it seems that I am not learning and applying it now. It was two years ago when I first came into contact with these things. These things that are not easy for ordinary people to come into contact with, but are common sense in the upper class, I have already known them like the back of my hand.
When Lu Mingfei saw his uncle and aunt today, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
That kind of strange feeling did not mean that the family relationship between Lu Mingfei and his uncle and aunt had deteriorated, but that Lu Mingfei felt that he and they seemed to be from the same world.
When looking at Director Chen and Mrs. Chen who were somewhat in awe of him, Lu Mingfei felt even stronger. It was not that he was so upper class now, and Director Chen's family was so low class, but that Lu Mingfei felt that he was getting further and further away from the life of ordinary people.
Thinking back to two years ago... no, even five years ago, when Lu Mingfei learned that there were creatures like dragons in this world, and there were places like Kassel College, he was pulled into this world by fate.
The Gate of Kassel is really an irreversible door. Once you enter, there is no choice or room for regret. You will be forced to become a figure in the upper class in the eyes of ordinary people. The people you come into contact with and interact with are all powerful people who can shake the world.
So Lu Mingfei went back to his aunt's house less and less after he went to college. Even though his aunt no longer had a prejudice against him, Lu Mingfei's heart actually avoided returning to that home... It was not entirely because he had to carry out the mission, nor because he disliked his aunt's shabby home, but Lu Mingfei felt that he gradually no longer belonged there.
Maybe this is why I didn't like Chen Wenwen in high school. In addition to knowing the existence of Eri, Lu Mingfei has realized that he will never belong to that world. He can't be with Chen Wenwen and be a pair of literary lovers, nor can he be with Liu Miaomiao and enjoy a gentle talent girl, and it is even more impossible to marry Su Xiaoqiang, even if he can own a skyscraper in the bustling CBD area and never worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Looking back, in high school, apart from frequent contact with Chu Zihang, the relationship with other people was really indifferent. So Chu Zihang probably made others think that he was aloof and withdrawn because of this incident? Because the senior brother knew that he did not belong to that world, so he deliberately avoided leaving his own traces in that world.
So compared to himself in the dream story, Lu Mingfei's biggest change may not be in strength, but that he finally truly integrated into the world of mixed-bloods and accepted the fact that he was a monster.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a long time. At this time, a devil should have suddenly jumped out and smiled at Lu Mingfei with relief, and then the time of the whole world would stop. The devil might tease the immobile Eri first, and then tell Lu Mingfei a lot of profound and confusing words, and finally tell him: "Brother, you finally realized the cruel truth of this world, I am very happy."
But today the devil did not show up for the first time. I don’t know if it was Lu Mingfei’s illusion. I always feel that after killing Herzog, that guy has been deliberately avoiding me.
"Sakura... Sakura..."
The continuous calls brought Lu Mingfei back to his senses.
