Su Qingcheng covered her mouth and chuckled. She said to the waiter,""Give him a Manhattan too.”
"Alright, please wait a moment."
The waitress bowed and left.
Seeing that Liu Xue Zhou was feeling a little down, Su Qingcheng's big eyes turned and she took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.
She glanced at Xu Song and said with a smile,""Teacher Xu, haven't you drunk this martini and Manhattan before?”
Xu Song understood Su Qingcheng's intentions. He immediately curled his lips and said with a bitter smile,""I don't usually like to go to bars. Even if I do, I'll just drink Erguotou and beer. As for this horse…I've never had any Dini wine.”
Su Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Xu Song." You talk about Erguotou every day. Those who don't know better would think that you're already in your seventies or eighties."”
Xu Song was speechless.
He didn't understand how he became an old man in his seventies or eighties because he liked Erguotou.
Could it be that those who drank Erguotou were all old men?
Xu Song's gaze shifted to Liu Xue Zhou and deliberately tried to find a conversation,""Xiao Liu, I see that you seem to know a lot about this wine. Why don't you give me a general introduction?”
Facing his two saviors, Liu Xue Zhou had already let down his guard.
Thus, Liu Xuezhou gently brushed her hair behind her ear and placed her face close to the dim candlelight.
Under the dim light of the candle, Liu Xuezhou's face looked a little ruddy.
She said in a low voice,"Teacher Xu, I actually don't know much about foreign wine, but ever since I came to this bar and heard the lady boss's introduction, I slowly fell in love with the taste of this wine.
To be honest, this was a bar for people with depression.”
At this point, Liu Xuezhou paused and paid attention to the changes in Xu Song and Su Qingcheng's expressions.
She thought that after she told them the nature of this bar, if the two of them showed even a hint of disdain or strangeness, then tonight's conversation would end here.
He had already thanked her for saving his life and was considered a passerby from now on.
"Oh, I see."
Su Qingcheng nodded in realization.
She finally understood why Liu Xue Zhou would jump into the lake to commit suicide.
Xu Song's expression shook slightly, but he immediately said calmly,""Little Liu, continue."
Xu Song was no stranger to the group of people suffering from depression.
Because, before he transmigrated, he had also suffered from mild depression for a period of time due to a breakup.
Therefore, he could empathize with the pain of patients with depression.
"Hmm…"
Liu Xue Zhou nodded slightly and said with a bitter expression,""Teacher Xu, let's wait for a while. When the wine comes, let's drink and talk.”
Seeing Liu Xue Zhou's expression, Xu Song seemed to understand something and nodded his head, not asking any more questions.
About five to six minutes later, the waiter placed two glasses of dark red wine, one glass of light green wine, and two small plates of nuts on the table.
"Please enjoy."
After the waitress served the drinks, she bowed and left.
With the help of the candlelight, Xu Song carefully examined the three glasses of wine on the table.
He felt that this martini or Manhattan wine looked pretty good just by looking at the color.
He did not know how it tasted.
Liu Xue Zhou picked up his glass of light green martini and said softly,""Teacher Xu, these two wines are made from absinthe. The main ingredients were the extract of anise, fennel, and wormwood.
This glass of light green wine was commonly known as a martini.
But in fact, it also had a few elegant names.
For example, Abbess, Green Muse, Green Fairy, and so on.
It tasted sweet, bitter, and strong, and the alcohol content was generally around 45 degrees.
If the alcohol content wasn't high enough, he could add vodka and drink it together.”
Immediately, Liu Xuezhou picked up the dark red wine in front of Xu Song and continued,""This dark red wine is another variation of absinthe. It's called Manhattan.
Because of the whiskey and brown sugar cubes, it turned dark red.
The taste of Manhattan was sweet, bitter, and slightly sweet. It was suitable for people who had just started drinking this wine.
The meaning of martini was known by many as the bitter life.
The meaning of Manhattan was known as the sweet life.”
As he spoke, Liu Xuezhou picked up his martini and took a small sip.
"Phew…this is the taste."
Guo Jia closed his eyes slightly, looking as if he was reminiscing.
Xu Song nodded slightly. He finally understood why Su Qingcheng ordered Manhattan.
To put it bluntly, he was advising Liu Xue Zhou that life was not only bitter but also sweet.
Xu Song picked up his Manhattan and took a sip like Liu Xuezhou.
Instantly, Xu Song's brows furrowed into a knot.
Liar!
He even said that this dark red wine was sweet because it had sugar in it.
Who knew…it was so bitter!
Not only was it bitter, but it also had a burning sensation.
If he didn't drink Erguotou often and get used to the strong alcohol, he would probably vomit on the spot with just a small sip.
"Pfft…"
Seeing Xu Song's twisted face, Su Qingcheng smiled sweetly.
Even Liu Xue Zhou had a rare smile on his face.
Xu Song speechlessly looked at the two beauties opposite him and said with a bitter smile,""This thing is even more pitiful than coptis. Are you two sure this is something for humans to drink?”
Liu Xuezhou's face revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He smiled bitterly and said,""Teacher Xu, although there's brown sugar in this wine, it's only a small amount.
When you drank just a little, it was indeed a little bitter. However, after you drink a few more mouthfuls, the sugar will slowly settle in your mouth, and you will be able to taste the sweetness.
In addition, the reason why we like to drink this wine is because it has a wonderful effect.
That was, after you drank half a cup, your brain would have a slightly intoxicated hallucinatory feeling.
That feeling could completely relax one's mind. Some bad emotions would be temporarily blocked, and only good memories would remain in one's mind.”
"Is that so? There's actually such a benefit?”
Xu Song was slightly stunned.
He thought to himself, I don't understand anyway, so I'll just do whatever you say.
It was just a glass of wine, and it was almost said to be a stimulant.
After three drinks.
Suddenly, Liu Xue Zhou took out a box of thin sticks of " Golden Leaf Ai Shang " and handed it to Xu Song, asking him if he wanted one.
Xu Song smiled and waved his hand to indicate that there was no need.
However, he did not expect Su Qingcheng to volunteer.""Sister Xue Zhou, give me one.”
Seeing this, Xu Song was stunned.
Were all girls so cool these days?
Smoking and drinking are not taboo!
Xu Song usually did not smoke. He would occasionally smoke a cigarette or two, but only when he was in a bad mood.
It was worth mentioning that the thin stick of " Golden Leaf Ai Shang " that Liu Xue Zhou drew was also Xu Song's favorite.
This kind of cigarette had a fragrant and mellow taste. It was said that it was made from the scraps of golden leaf and heavenly leaf.
It was not expensive and was very suitable for those who were not addicted to smoking or women who liked to smoke.
Liu Xuezhou took out a lighter and lit it for Su Qingcheng before lighting it himself.
Phew...
Liu Xue Zhou took a deep breath and exhaled a mouthful of green smoke.
Amidst the smoke, her expression gradually became gloomy.
Knowing that Liu Xue Zhou might have something to say, Xu Song didn't say anything and just sipped the wine in his cup.
After drinking half a cup of this wine, he really had the feeling that Liu Xuezhou had described.
It was slightly sweet, and his brain began to fantasize.
Some beautiful memories of the past flashed through Xu Song's mind.
There were fragments of his predecessor's memories, as well as the memories of his own soul before he transmigrated.
In the booth, the three of them fell into a short silence.
After a while…
The cigarette in Liu Xuezhou's hand burned until it was a cigarette butt, so she casually put it out in the ashtray.
Immediately after, Liu Xuezhou slowly raised his head as if he had made a decision. He said,""Teacher Xu, Teacher Su, let me tell you the story of a girl growing up.”
"Alright!"
"Alright, I'm all ears."
Xu Song and Su Qingcheng nodded in unison.
