Chapter 1141: First Experience of Drinking
Ever since Gu Mengmeng inherited Elvis’s night vision, they no longer stayed in the outermost cave room. The room was too close to the entrance of the cave and not the most comfortable one. They used to live there just to accommodate to Gu Mengmeng’s need for light sources.
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her hands together and said, “Since this is the first day of sealing the mountain, I will let you try something good.”
Elvis and Lea looked at each other and neither of them knew what she meant.
After all, every piece of meat and potato in the cave were brought back by them with their own hands, what could Gu Mengmeng be so mysterious about?But since their little female was up for it, they were of course willing to play along.
So both of them smiled and looked at Gu Mengmeng excitedly.
Gu Mengmeng took the small bamboo cup that she had made back in the bamboo forest and walked towards the wooden pail. She opened the lid, bent down and smell it. The fruity aroma, together with the fragrance of wine, went right up her nose. Well, it should be ready to drink.
She did not rush to bring it to Elvis and Lea, instead, she poured half a cup into her small cup and tasted it carefully.
There was an imbalance of sourness and bitterness as sugar could not be extracted without professional equipments. It tasted more like grape juice than red wine, but one could taste the alcohol content easily with careful tasting and the feeling was good. Gu Mengmeng did not try those premium red wines in the present world before, but compared to the Great Wall Red Wine, she felt like the one she made had a better taste.
After ensuring that the wine had no problems, Gu Mengmeng poured a cup each for Lea and Elvis, signaling for them to try it.
Lea was surprised, he knocked on the wooden pail and said, “So this is for drinking? I thought you were going to bathe with it…”Gu Mengmeng could not help but giggled and said, “I’ve only heard of bathing with milk and not wine.”
“Wine?” Lea asked.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and answered, “Yes, usually alcohol is brewed with rice, but I have yet to see a single grain of rice in my two years of staying here… Let’s not talk about fermenting before we could eat. Luckily grapes could be used to make alcohol too. Although the alcohol content is not that high, drinking a little cheers up the mood. Try it?”
Elvis and Lea hesitated no more. They would chuck down and praise anything that Gu Mengmeng gave them, even if it was poison, let alone a cup of wine.
Gu Mengmeng frowned at the way the two of them drank without hesitation.
Wine was something that required fine tasting, why did the two drank it like it was their last drink?
If there was a wooden board at the back of their neck, they should be throwing the cup after they drank finish, before righteously saying “I will be a right, fine lad again after eighteen years!”
Before Gu Mengmeng could comment, she heard a ‘thump’ sound as Elvis dropped dead to the ground. Gu Mengmeng was taken aback, she quickly squatted down, held onto Elvis’s head, patted his face and called, “Hubby? Hubby what’s wrong? Are you allergic to grapes? Don’t scare me…”
Z… Zzz… Zzzz…
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, she blinked and looked at Elvis, whom had a flushed face and a steady breath that did not fit the symptoms of allergy at all. She paused for a second before laughing dryly and she said, “It can’t be… One cup and you are gone?!”
“Hey Mengmeng~” Gu Mengmeng felt a weight on her shoulders and turned around to realize there was something wrong with her fox too. He was leaning against her shoulders amorously, his slender eyes were misty as he stared affectionately at her, looking all drunk.
