Due to the great momentum of the wine fight between the two wineries, many people gathered on the street. The two parties were first in line, and there were many famous scholar-bureaucrats. The specially invited wine judges were also highly respected and spoke with great weight. figure.
Compared to Immortal in the Cup, a rising star that is gaining momentum, Du Kangge has a history of half a century in the capital. It is an old wine shop with the support of the Du family, so it is very confident.
Therefore, seeing that the people on the Cup Immortal side had not yet arrived, several people in Du Kang Pavilion looked unhappy. A man with a goatee stood up one after another, fluttering his sleeves and saying, "Let so many people wait here, you..."
Before he finished speaking, a happy voice sounded from far to near: "It's coming, it's coming, everyone has been waiting!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Pei Qianhuo leading the way with a respectful and flattering look on his face. Behind him, a group of tall and strong men formed a circle vigilantly, guarding the figure in the center.
Seeing such an exaggerated battle, the goatee man sneered: "Grandstanding!"
Pei Qianhuo led the way in a flattering manner. When he passed by the goatee man, his buttocks curled up and then he exerted force to push the man further away.
The goatee man covered his buttocks and glared angrily, unable to believe that he would be hit: "You!"
Pei Qianhuo glanced at him: "The noble man is coming, all the idle people are getting out of the way."
After saying that, he continued to lead the way, taking Yun Yaoyao and Tu Shanjin to his winery. The VIP seats were carefully arranged in the center, and screens were erected on three sides to cover them. The Western Zhou Longying Guards were filled with water.
Such a large battle first aroused dissatisfaction among everyone in Du Kang Pavilion.
The man with the goatee said angrily: "Who is this noble person that Shopkeeper Pei has invited? He is unwilling to show his true face. Does he think that none of us here can stand in the eyes of this noble person?"
As soon as Gong Huo's provocative words came out, although everyone present said nothing, they already felt dissatisfaction in their hearts.
There are many people who can sit here, including those from Kinmen and the world. How noble are you to dare to appear in this way?
Pei Qianhuo really wants to go back, this noble man is really noble, he can kill all the nine tribes of you.
Naturally, Pei Qianhuo couldn't say these words. After all, the nobleman left the palace secretly. He was just thinking about how to get around when a voice came from the screen.
"This is wrong. You are all well-educated, well-informed and sensible people. How could you have such an idea based on the way a person appears? You are too narrow-minded."
The other party's words did not follow common sense at all. He praised others, but gave him a narrow-minded name. The goatee man was embarrassed and annoyed. He wanted to refute, but was stopped.
Gao Dexiang shook his head slightly and looked at the screen with fear on his face.
He has a distinguished status and was invited by Shopkeeper Pei in a high-profile manner. He is probably the trump card for the Immortal in the Cup to win the next wine fight. Could it be...
Lin Qingti, Lin Shangshu? !
If you were to face him, your chances of winning would drop from 90%25 to less than 10%25!
Gao Dexiang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked tentatively: "Is your Excellency Lin Shangshu?"
Inside the screen, Yun Yaoyao, who had already taken the voice-changing pill, smiled lightly and said: "No, no, it's just an ordinary passer-by."
Hearing that the other party did not participate in the drinking fight, Gao Dexiang was relieved. He couldn't remember who the other party was, so he simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on the next drinking fight.
Gao Dexiang's eldest son, Gao Chongguang, also came with him this time. He had not given up on instigating rebellion against his father on behalf of His Majesty, and was always nagging at Gao Dexiang's side.
"Dad, what are you talking to him about? It seems like he is bluffing!"
"When I talk about Lin Qingti's son, I get angry. Isn't it because he hugged His Majesty's lap that he reached the position of Minister? Dad, you are so stupid that you hung yourself from a tree in the Du family instead of licking His Majesty's lap. A huge tree..."
"Be careful! Shut up!" Gao Dexiang secretly glared at his evil son.
Gao Chongguang curled his lips and kept silent, looking for the next opportunity to instigate rebellion against his stupid father.
While they were talking, the wine fight between the two wineries officially started.
This wine fight is divided into three games. The first game includes wine utensils, wine customs, wine etiquette, etc. It is also the foreplay of drinking. It pays attention to elegance and style.
Commonly known as - pretending.
I saw only two wineries displaying their collection of wine vessels, including Zun Hu Jue Jiao Gong, Yi 卣 玿 cup, 獮煣豆杝牝, etc., and the introduction began.
Du Kangge was very confident. After all, these wine vessels were worth thousands of gold. After the introduction, they stood aside confidently, sneering and waiting to see how the immortal in the cup would struggle.
Who would have thought that Pei Qian, with his tongue shining like a lotus flower, crowned each wine vessel with a past and present life, some incarnation of the wine fairy's mount, some calamity of heaven's literary stars, and even a lich war!
The twists and turns of the story coupled with the glorious and vast background made the wine judges unconsciously open their mouths and let out a whooping sound!
After listening to Du Kangge's introduction, I thought their wine vessels were really rare masterpieces, but after listening to the introduction of the Immortal in the Cup, I suddenly felt that this rare masterpiece was not enough.
After all, this is not an ordinary wine vessel, but an artifact that was born by absorbing the purple energy of Hongmeng during the Lich War, experienced the war between three clans, lived in the Qiankun Cauldron, and finally achieved enlightenment and ascended!
"That's nonsense! Just making it up! This is simply alarmist talk!" Seeing that the judges were going in the wrong direction, the man with the goatee was so anxious that he couldn't even use the right words.
Pei Qianhuo hurriedly retorted: "Don't accuse people casually. Do you have any evidence to prove that I am making things up? This is recorded in history. I also said that the wine vessels in your Du Kang Pavilion are fake!"
Pei Qianhuo really brought out a large stack of historical records.
Seeing that the two parties were still fighting over each other, the wine judges discussed it and quickly made a final decision: "In the battle of wine vessels, the immortal in the cup will win!"
The first round of the first game ended with a drinking utensil fight, followed by a drinking fight with etiquette and customs, etc. The two sides had already faintly smelled of gunpowder.
The drinking ceremony involves first bowing, then offering sacrifices, then spitting, and finally the death ceremony. There are etiquette and etiquette in every step.
As for drinking customs, there are also many rules. When a gentleman drinks, one cup shows respect, two cups shows elegance, three cups shows advancement and retreat. After three rounds of wine, he can drink freely without being bound by etiquette.
It can be said that the two wineries tried their best to express themselves, and finally won the first game with the cup of fairy on the basis of politeness and customs, accompanied by fancy things, which made the wine judges listen to the wow factor again. !
Yun Yaoyao inside the screen was also amazed by what she saw: "My ancestors only played with flowers!"
"And Pei Qianhuo, it would be a pity not to write a storybook and become a storyteller!"
Tu Shanjin asked in confusion: "Ancestor? But what happened in the underworld?"
Yun Yaoyao choked and smiled back at him: "What do you think?"
In the second round, the wine competition is about the quality of the wine, identifying the color, smelling the aroma and tasting the wine.
Each of the two wineries took out three signature wines, poured them into wine vessels, and handed them to the wine judges one by one. The wine judges commented and scored each wine on the spot, and the one with the highest total score won.
For the sake of fairness, a screen will be used to block the view of the wine judges in advance. The wine judges will not know in advance which wine they are getting.
Du Kangge was defeated in the first battle. As the leader of this drinking fight, Gao Dexiang's heart was high again.
In the second game, we must not lose!
Just in case, Gao Dexiang called someone and gave some secret instructions.
The signature wines of the two wineries have been brought out. The moment they were opened, the aroma of the wine hit them, intoxicating their hearts and minds. Everyone present sniffed intoxicatedly.
After several waiters poured out the wines one by one, they brought them one wine after another. After commenting on the second wine, Pei Qianhuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a minute!"
He strode over, grabbed the hand of the waiter carrying the wine, and pulled the tray down, causing a thick stack of silver notes to scatter.
"Okay! Du Kangge actually bribed the wine judge! My mother, my grandma, my gown, my coat! Oh my god! Come and judge!"
The boy waved his hands quickly and said in a panic: "It's not that I don't have it. This is my wife's betrothal gift. I'm afraid I'll lose it and keep it with me!"
Pei Qianhuo sneered: "With a few thousand taels of silver notes, you're probably marrying someone with gold inlay! Who will believe your lies!"
After saying that, Pei Qianhuo started wailing again, fearing that it was not too lively.
The boy knew that what had happened was exposed, so he went crazy and lifted other trays. This time, he really pulled something out!
"Okay, you cup fairy will also bribe the wine judge!" After saying that, he fell to the ground and wailed, "My ancestor, how could there be such a shameless person? Please show your spirit and take him down!"
Now it was Pei Qianhuo's turn to sweat profusely.
"What evidence do you have to prove that we are the winner?"
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it's Du Kangge!"
"You*@××...!"
"You XX!"
The two wine shops started fighting again, trying to belittle each other in every possible way. This grand scene made the big troll Gao Chongguang want to participate.
In the end, a few wine judges came out to start a fight, and all the waiters who served the wine were replaced. For the sake of fairness, they first recruited people from the onlookers to act as waiters.
But the two wineries were still dissatisfied, and they all shouted who knew if it was someone from the other side who had made arrangements in advance.
The wine judges had no choice but to see a toothless old lady leaning on a cane and looking at the music here. She still spoke in a dialect they couldn't understand. They gave the old lady a few taels of silver to serve the wine.
"This is going to get worse. She can't be bribed by you too!"
The old lady was even happier with the money in her pocket. She smiled so much that her gums were exposed. She took out the wine from the screen and handed it to the wine judges one by one.
Because the old lady's hands were not steady, she would occasionally sprinkle some wine on the hands of the wine judges when passing the wine. By the time the last round was served, the wine judges' bodies were already mixed with several types of wine, exuding an intoxicating aroma.
Sprinkle some soy sauce and fine salt and it will probably soak up the flavor!
The wine judges had dark faces and scored them one by one.
In the second game, Du Kangge ended up with a slight advantage by two points.
"What a hearty wine fight!" This made Yun Yaoyao happy.
The wine fight in her imagination: elegant and stylish, the drinkers are humble to each other, celebrities take turns toasting, and the wine judges are happy and contented, what a romantic and elegant event!
An actual drinking fight: belittling and quarreling with each other, poking at each other to stumble, using money to bribe the wine judge. When things are revealed, they start cheating, and then they continue to fight and compete with each other!
Yun Yaoyao drank all the tea in the cup and sighed.
Seeing how upset everyone was, she felt relieved!
