419: Chapter 417 Grain Alcohol 419: Chapter 417 Grain Alcohol After leaving ho, Chen Yang didn’t think much and directly headed to Uncle Niu’s 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 ti, it was already past eight o’clock, and at this point, Uncle Niu was likely at ho sleeping.
Chen Yang thought so to himself,
And sure enough.
When Chen Yang arrived at Uncle Niu’s house, Uncle Niu was indeed lying at ho watching TV.
Chen Yang saw this through the window.
Knock knock.
“Uncle Niu.”
Chen Yang knocked on the door and called out.
Hearing Chen Yang’s voice, Uncle Niu imdiately put on his shoes and ca to open the door.
“Yang Zi, what brings you here so late at night?
Is there a problem with the lobsters?” Uncle Niu asked, puzzled.
At this ti, he had just helped Chen Yang transport the lobsters down from the mountain, so naturally, when Chen Yang ca looking for him, he thought of the lobsters.
But it wasn’t about that.
“No, Uncle Niu, I ca to see if you have any alcohol left at ho.
I felt like having so late-night snacks,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
“Oh, I see.”
Hearing that it was about finding alcohol, a smile also appeared on Uncle Niu’s face.
“Uncle Niu’s house has plenty of alcohol, just wait a mont,” he said.
Uncle Niu turned and went inside his house, then after rummaging around, he ca out carrying three or four bottles of white liquor.
“These are all grain alcohols.
I used to drink them myself, but later switched to beer, so these were left untouched,” 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 sowhat rough, the content of grain in it was still substantial.
“Alright, these will do.”
Chen Yang thought it over and decided to take these back with him.
“By the way, Uncle Niu, how much for these?
I’ll pay this ti,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
Uncle Niu initially didn’t want to take money, after all, it was just a few bottles he didn’t drink, but thinking of what was said that afternoon,
he still symbolically took so money.
“Twenty will do.”
“What?”
Chen Yang was just about to pay when he suddenly realized sothing was off, “Uncle Niu, there are four bottles here, if I’m not mistaken, it should be eighty, right?”
Chen Yang had drunk this type of grain alcohol before, so he still had so impression of the prices.
Uncle Niu gave a slight smile: “You sure know a lot, kid.”
“Of course, this type of liquor used to be very popular, you know?” Chen Yang said with a laugh as he stuffed eighty bucks into Uncle Niu’s hand, then left.
Chen Yang, carrying the four bottles of liquor, returned ho and placed them on the table.
The old packaging and the rustic design left the three won full of confusion.
“Chen Yang, what kind of liquor is this?
I’ve never seen it before, and the packaging looks really old,” Yang Ruoxi asked blankly.
Chen Yang gave a slight smile, picked up a bottle, and opened it.
“This is grain alcohol; the adults from all around used to love this.
It’s quite old, so the packaging looks very aged,” Chen Yang explained with a smile, then turned to the girls, “Co on, hand your glasses, and I’ll fill them up first.”
The girls imdiately handed over their cups.
But Yang Ruoxi still looked a bit puzzled: “Many years old?
Could it be expired?
Can we still drink it?”
Li Han and Wu Kexin hadn’t thought much about it.
Hearing Yang Ruoxi say this, they imdiately grew a bit worried too.
“Yes, Chen Yang, you should check the production date and the expiration date just in case it’s expired.
That wouldn’t be good,”
Li Han chid in.
Chen Yang ignored them and continued pouring the liquor.
It was only after he had filled all four glasses that Chen Yang spoke.
“This type of liquor is grain alcohol.
The longer it is stored, the richer its flavor becos; there’s no such thing as an expiration date,” Chen Yang explained.
Seeing that the three won still didn’t quite understand, he gave an analogy.
“It’s like red wine.
The longer it’s stored, the better it tastes.
Do you understand now?
Like 1982 Lafite, these things are quite famous, aren’t they?”
Initially, the three won were quite unclear about the explanation of grain liquor Chen Yang gave.
But as soon as they heard ‘red wine’, ‘Lafite’,
they imdiately understood.
“Oh, I see!”
The won 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 slling it, the won quickly beca interested in tasting the liquor.
Yang Ruoxi didn’t hesitate and brought it to her mouth right away.
“Ah!”
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 didn’t show any unusual reaction.
But two or three seconds later, Yang Ruoxi was choked and overwheld by the spiciness.
It left her sticking out her tongue.
“Wow, it’s so spicy, I can’t handle it!
Quick, give so water,”
Yang Ruoxi exclaid.
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.
“Why were you in such a rush?
I hadn’t finished talking.
Although this grain liquor slls fragrant, like a soft drink, it’s actually a strong spirit and really burns the throat,” Chen Yang said with a laugh.
Yang Ruoxi glared at Chen Yang murderously.
“You should have said that earlier.
Now that I’ve already drunk it, what’s the point of saying it now?”
Chen Yang said innocently, “You can’t bla .
You were drawn by the fragrance and poured it into your mouth like a greedy cat.
I didn’t even get the chance to warn you.”
“Humph.”
Yang Ruoxi snorted and sulkily said, “It’s all your fault, all your fault.”
“Hahaha, co on, no more arguing.
Let’s drink nicely; just be careful next ti,”
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, “This first drink, let’s all drink together to celebrate us getting together again!
Cheers to Ruoxi’s return to freedom!”
At the ntion of drinking, Yang Ruoxi imdiately forgot the spiciness and raised her glass with Li Han.
“Right, right, right!
To celebrate our reunion!”
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 Ruoxi’s 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 weren’t used to it.
Drinking the liquor was like swallowing poison; their expressions were sowhat twisted.
“Wow, this liquor is really too strong, much stronger than ordinary spirits,” Li Han grimaced and said.
Wu Kexin also smacked her lips and nodded, “Indeed, this is the strongest liquor I’ve ever had.”
