After leaving home, Chen Yang didnât think much and directly headed to Uncle Niuâs house.
Although the convenience store had a place to sleep, Uncle Niu still preferred his old house.
He sold goods at the convenience store during the day and went to sleep in his old house at night.
By this time, it was already past eight oâclock, and at this point, Uncle Niu was likely at home sleeping.
Chen Yang thought so to himself,
And sure enough.
When Chen Yang arrived at Uncle Niuâs house, Uncle Niu was indeed lying at home watching TV.
Chen Yang saw this through the window.
Knock knock.
âUncle Niu.â
Chen Yang knocked on the door and called out.
Hearing Chen Yangâs voice, Uncle Niu immediately put on his shoes and came to open the door.
âYang Zi, what brings you here so late at night?
Is there a problem with the lobsters?â Uncle Niu asked, puzzled.
At this time, he had just helped Chen Yang transport the lobsters down from the mountain, so naturally, when Chen Yang came looking for him, he thought of the lobsters.
But it wasnât about that.
âNo, Uncle Niu, I came to see if you have any alcohol left at home.
I felt like having some late-night snacks,â Chen Yang said with a smile.
âOh, I see.â
Hearing that it was about finding alcohol, a smile also appeared on Uncle Niuâs face.
âUncle Niuâs house has plenty of alcohol, just wait a moment,â he said.
Uncle Niu turned and went inside his house, then after rummaging around, he came out carrying three or four bottles of white liquor.
âThese are all grain alcohols.
I used to drink them myself, but later switched to beer, so these were left untouched,â Uncle Niu explained.
Chen Yang took the liquor bottles and looked at them.
They were all very old-fashioned white liquors, ones that Chen Yang had also drunk before.
He knew that although this type of liquor was cheap and the taste somewhat rough, the content of grain in it was still substantial.
âAlright, these will do.â
Chen Yang thought it over and decided to take these back with him.
âBy the way, Uncle Niu, how much for these?
Iâll pay this time,â Chen Yang said with a smile.
Uncle Niu initially didnât want to take money, after all, it was just a few bottles he didnât drink, but thinking of what was said that afternoon,
he still symbolically took some money.
âTwenty will do.â
âWhat?â
Chen Yang was just about to pay when he suddenly realized something was off, âUncle Niu, there are four bottles here, if Iâm not mistaken, it should be eighty, right?â
Chen Yang had drunk this type of grain alcohol before, so he still had some impression of the prices.
Uncle Niu gave a slight smile: âYou sure know a lot, kid.â
âOf course, this type of liquor used to be very popular, you know?â Chen Yang said with a laugh as he stuffed eighty bucks into Uncle Niuâs hand, then left.
Chen Yang, carrying the four bottles of liquor, returned home and placed them on the table.
The old packaging and the rustic design left the three women full of confusion.
âChen Yang, what kind of liquor is this?
Iâve never seen it before, and the packaging looks really old,â Yang Ruoxi asked blankly.
Chen Yang gave a slight smile, picked up a bottle, and opened it.
âThis is grain alcohol; the adults from all around used to love this.
Itâs quite old, so the packaging looks very aged,â Chen Yang explained with a smile, then turned to the girls, âCome on, hand me your glasses, and Iâll fill them up first.â
The girls immediately handed over their cups.
But Yang Ruoxi still looked a bit puzzled: âMany years old?
Could it be expired?
Can we still drink it?â
Li Han and Wu Kexin hadnât thought much about it.
Hearing Yang Ruoxi say this, they immediately grew a bit worried too.
âYes, Chen Yang, you should check the production date and the expiration date just in case itâs expired.
That wouldnât be good,â
Li Han chimed in.
Chen Yang ignored them and continued pouring the liquor.
It was only after he had filled all four glasses that Chen Yang spoke.
âThis type of liquor is grain alcohol.
The longer it is stored, the richer its flavor becomes; thereâs no such thing as an expiration date,â Chen Yang explained.
Seeing that the three women still didnât quite understand, he gave an analogy.
âItâs like red wine.
The longer itâs stored, the better it tastes.
Do you understand now?
Like 1982 Lafite, these things are quite famous, arenât they?â
Initially, the three women were quite unclear about the explanation of grain liquor Chen Yang gave.
But as soon as they heard âred wineâ, âLafiteâ,
they immediately understood.
âOh, I see!â
The women nodded in realization and each picked up their glasses, sniffing them close to their noses.
Suddenly, a strong fragrance of grain liquor filled their nostrils.
The feeling was exceptionally pleasant.
After smelling it, the women quickly became interested in tasting the liquor.
Yang Ruoxi didnât hesitate and brought it to her mouth right away.
âAh!â
Chen Yang saw this and wanted to stop her, but it was too late, Yang Ruoxi had already taken a sip.
At first, Yang Ruoxi didnât show any unusual reaction.
But two or three seconds later, Yang Ruoxi was choked and overwhelmed by the spiciness.
It left her sticking out her tongue.
âWow, itâs so spicy, I canât handle it!
Quick, give me some water,â
Yang Ruoxi exclaimed.
Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly brought her a glass of water.
After Yang Ruoxi drank down the full glass, her complexion looked much better.
However, her tongue was still out, making a funny sight.
âWhy were you in such a rush?
I hadnât finished talking.
Although this grain liquor smells fragrant, like a soft drink, itâs actually a strong spirit and really burns the throat,â Chen Yang said with a laugh.
Yang Ruoxi glared at Chen Yang murderously.
âYou should have said that earlier.
Now that Iâve already drunk it, whatâs the point of saying it now?â
Chen Yang said innocently, âYou canât blame me.
You were drawn by the fragrance and poured it into your mouth like a greedy cat.
I didnât even get the chance to warn you.â
âHumph.â
Yang Ruoxi snorted and sulkily said, âItâs all your fault, all your fault.â
âHahaha, come on, no more arguing.
Letâs drink nicely; just be careful next time,â
Just as the two were about to argue, Li Han intervened with a smile, playing peacemaker.
After calming Chen Yang, Li Han raised her glass, âThis first drink, letâs all drink together to celebrate us getting together again!
Cheers to Ruoxiâs return to freedom!â
At the mention of drinking, Yang Ruoxi immediately forgot the spiciness and raised her glass with Li Han.
âRight, right, right!
To celebrate our reunion!â
Following that, Chen Yang and Wu Kexin also raised their glasses, and the four clinked them together and took a sip.
With the lesson learned from Yang Ruoxiâs experience, everyone drank more cautiously.
So, nobody had a very severe reaction.
However, except for Chen Yang, Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Yang Ruoxi still werenât used to it.
Drinking the liquor was like swallowing poison; their expressions were somewhat twisted.
âWow, this liquor is really too strong, much stronger than ordinary spirits,â Li Han grimaced and said.
Wu Kexin also smacked her lips and nodded, âIndeed, this is the strongest liquor Iâve ever had.â
