Chapter 995 Mark's Doubts

As Li Zeyu was talking, the waiter brought the ice cubes. Li Zeyu put a small bucket of ice cubes in front of Jason and Mark. Seeing that Mark was holding a bottle of foreign wine and looking at it seriously, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Mark, what are you looking at?" What? Why, domestic foreign wine is stronger than your foreign wine? If it’s not possible, why don’t you mix some ice cubes?”

"It doesn't matter whether I drink with ice or not. I often drink with friends in the United States without ice. I'm just curious about the brand of this foreign wine. It looks familiar, but it feels different. Johnnie Walker, this is the same all over the world. It’s a brand with a good reputation, look at the packaging, I don’t know the Chinese characters, what do these words mean?”

Mark pointed to the four characters on the foreign wine bottle and asked, Li Zeyu didn’t even need to look at it. He is the manager of the hot pot restaurant, and the foreign wine was bought from his uncle’s shop. He knew the name of the foreign wine too well, “I don’t know the foreign name. I know how to pronounce it, but all I know is that this wine is called Johnnie Walker, Brother Peng’s uncle is working as a provincial agent, and the sales are particularly good.”

"Dapeng's brother-in-law is working as a provincial agent? Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I've never seen Johnnie Walker print the words of other countries on the outer packaging of the brand. I'm curious, very curious."

Mark is doing experimental research, so his curiosity and thirst for knowledge are particularly strong. When encountering unclear things, he likes to ask for the most reasonable explanation as much as possible. However, when he heard that Shen Dapeng’s uncle was the agent, he immediately Do your best to suppress your intense curiosity.

No matter how Shen Dapeng treats him, Mark thinks that he is just a newcomer after all. He can't and has no reason to point fingers at Shen Dapeng's family affairs. Those who specialize in foreign wine business will also be afraid that they will say or do wrong things.

"Johnnie Walker? A world-renowned brand? My brother-in-law won the provincial agency, isn't it very promising?" Shen Dapeng couldn't help picking up the foreign wine bottle, playing with it in his hands. To be honest, he didn't know foreign wine either. But looking at the shape and packaging of the wine bottle, it's not bad, similar to what he had imagined in his previous life.

"Yeah, it's really a good brand. Maybe this wine is specially designed for the taste of people in your country. It's a bit too strong, but... you can drink liquor bottle by bottle, which is not bad for you. point."

Mark smiled relaxedly, and shifted his gaze to the light green Bamboo Leaf Green in Quina's glass, "They drink it called Bamboo Leaf Green? The color looks pretty, and I want to try it too."

"It's fine, drink whatever you want, but once you enter this room, you don't want to leave if you don't get drunk."

Sun Dapaozi opened another bucket of bamboo leaf green very quickly, filled it up for Mark, and brought the foreign wine in front of him,

"You don't drink foreign wine, leave it to me and Tang Wei, we both like it."

"No matter what you drink, fill your glass."

Tang Wei frantically asked everyone to fill up their wine glasses. The big guys ate and drank, chatted and wrangled, and gradually entered the high mood of a friend gathering.

Shen Dapeng also drank a lot, but his eyes always looked at the foreign wine bottle on the table from time to time. In his previous life, he was in the capital and drank red wine and foreign wine, but he really rarely had the opportunity to enter high-end occasions. He has never participated in any banquets and dances for high-level people, and his deepest impression of foreign wine is still in the realm of the round bottle of XO, but at this time, the more he looks at the Chinese characters on the brand label, the more awkward he feels.

In his memory, he has never seen any foreign wine brand with Chinese characters printed on it. Could it be that, as Mark said, this is a wine specially designed to cater to the palate of Chinese people? Or is the brand label selectively added by domestic agents in order to increase the awareness of the brand among domestic people?

or...

Shen Dapeng was engrossed in contemplation when his sight was suddenly blocked by a bottle of Jinshibai, followed by Sun Dapaozi's extremely excited voice, "Brother Peng, you must have a correct attitude when drinking. What are you always thinking about absent-mindedly? This foreign wine is empty. What are you still looking at it for? It’s time for beer, come on, I’ll pour it for you.”

"En." Shen Dapeng nodded, the wine glass was filled again, listening to Tang Wei and Sun Dapaozi's persuasive drinking order, he was absent-minded and bored with him.

Shen Dapeng can’t say whether wine is a good thing or not. Wine can refresh people’s minds when they are excited, relieve their sorrows when people’s hearts are broken, and improve and narrow the distance between each other on the wine table of interpersonal communication, but no matter what , he really can't get too excited about wine, whether to drink or not depends entirely on his mood.

A meal, including eating and drinking, chatting and making noise, two hours passed not too slowly, two bottles of foreign wine, two bamboo tubes of green bamboo leaves, and a whole case of beer were swept away in between pushing and changing glasses.

Except for Tang Wei and Sun Dapaozi, who can't drink normally, everyone's condition is not bad, everyone's face is flushed, like a boiled crab, especially Qu Yina's big eyes, which are red and glowing The bloodshot, like a red-eyed rabbit, directly exposed the upper limit of her alcohol consumption.

Coming out of the Xiaohetang hot pot, Li Zeyu didn't even think about it. He staggered towards his little Po Xiali, and just opened the car door, Shen Dapeng appeared beside him in good time, "Driving after drinking is not allowed, it's too dangerous."

Li Zeyu looked at the time, smiled awkwardly and waved his hands, "It's okay, it's already ten o'clock, the roads in the county have long been deserted, maybe there used to be taxis running night shifts, but now they are all on strike, I'm afraid there will be no cars on the road are rare."

"That's not okay." Shen Dapeng wanted to take a taxi a moment ago, but after Li Zeyu reminded him, he remembered the taxi strike. Usually he didn't think about the impact of the taxi suspension, and he only felt it important when he needed it.

Looking back at Wang Yuying, who was also half-closed, drunk, the car must not be able to drive. In the end, there was no other way, so she had to find three waiters who could drive in the store, and sent everyone back to the hotel.

Sun Dapaozi and Li Zeyu didn't seem to have had enough of their drinks, so they asked the front desk of the hotel to order grilled skewers and beer, and went back to the room happily to continue "singing to wine".

Shen Dapeng followed for a while, seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, and in the middle of the night, he didn't want to go home and bother his parents, so he could only stay in the hotel for one night. There is only a relatively high-end hotel in Yuanmeng, so the rooms are already full.

Helpless, Shen Dapeng lived in the same room as Mark and Jason. Fortunately, Mark and Jason's room was a suite, so Shen Dapeng didn't even have a bed to sleep on.

After Jason returned to the room, he fell asleep. Shen Dapeng and Mark were still awake, lying on the bed and watching the replay of the Spring Festival Gala on TV. Mark couldn't understand many programs, but he still watched them with gusto.
