Chapter 87: A Night for Two
I don't know how long it took, but Du Jiujiu felt hungry and uncomfortable. She opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see a figure sitting in front of her under the dim light.
"Who!?" Du Jiujiu's heart suddenly jumped, she shouted lowly, subconsciously picked up the long knife at hand, jumped up from the bed like a carp, and swung the knife towards the figure.
The figure did not move, and Du Jiujiu put the knife on his neck.
"I've been waiting for you here for so long, but you opened your eyes and pointed a knife at me. Little Jiujiu, are you going too far?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Du Jiujiu woke up from her half-dream. With the faint light, she saw that the person in front of her was Su Xiaohan.
"Hug... I'm sorry, I'm a little sleepy." Du Jiujiu hurriedly removed the long knife from his neck, keeping company with him.
Of the row of flashlights she had lit before, for some reason only two were still shining.
Su Xiaohan was half leaning on a chair beside the bed, holding a goblet in her hand.
The light of the flashlight shone on the snow-white ceiling, and the reflected shimmer reflected the transparent liquid in the cup, like a pool of flowing crystal when Su Xiaohan shook it gently.
"The snacks are on the table, you should eat some first." Su Xiaohan didn't seem to care at all about her rash move just now, her eyes still fell on the goblet in her hand, as if she had something on her mind.
Du Jiujiu looked at the various snacks piled high on the long table beside the bed, and suddenly felt a touch of emotion in her heart.
However, these emotions were dispelled in the next second by the "gurgling" sound coming from Du Jiujiu's stomach. She tore open a pack of egg rolls with some embarrassment, quickly put it into her mouth and chewed it in small bites.
The "crash" sound of the packaging bag being torn open and the crisp sound of the egg roll being chewed mixed into a brisk melody that echoed between the two rows of shelves.
Su Xiaohan was brought back from her thoughts by this voice. She shook her head helplessly and stood up. She turned on two more flashlights that had been turned off. The room suddenly became much brighter.
At this time, Du Jiujiu saw clearly that the goblet held by Su Xiaohan contained half a light orange clear liquid, which was crystal clear and looked very attractive.
"What are you holding? It's so beautiful." Du Jiujiu really liked it so much that she couldn't help but pause for a moment, and asked Su Xiaohan.
"It's wine. Xiao Jiujiu, do you remember that I once said that before the end of the world, I was originally a bartender?"
"Well, I still remember." Not only that, Du Jiujiu also remembered that when they first met, Su Xiaohan also teased him about his profession as a bartender. Thinking of this, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but blush.
"Did you make this wine with wine from the supermarket? You are really good. Did you have a master to teach you?" Du Jiujiu felt a little embarrassed and immediately changed the subject.
"When I was in high school, some changes happened at home. I dropped out of school, ran away from home, and suffered a lot. Finally, the owner of this bar took me in and taught me some bartending knowledge. If you want to ask
Who is my master, then it is probably him." This was the first time Su Xiaohan told her about his past. His voice was a little low, and he seemed reluctant to mention the past.
"Xiao Jiujiu, do you also want to have a drink? Today is a rare opportunity. Most of the ingredients are available in supermarkets. The world has become so dangerous now. I don't know when the next time I will bartend wine."
"Well, okay. Just drink a small glass, and you won't get into trouble if you get drunk." Du Jiujiu swallowed the last bite of the egg roll and nodded with a smile.
Seeing her answer, Su Xiaohan immediately placed several bottles of different styles on the table, and took out a goblet of the same style as the one in his hand.
After preparing everything, Su Xiaohan replaced the lemon slices with lemon drink, lightly moistened the rim of the cup, and then inverted the cup in the salt dish to create a beautiful snowflake rim.
Immediately afterwards, he poured the liquid in each bottle into a strange-looking metal cup, sometimes more, sometimes less, his movements were like flowing water, elegant and calm, and matched with his slender
The fingers are simply too beautiful to look away from.
"This glass of wine is called Margarita. It was made by a bartender in memory of his late lover. This glass of wine is sour and salty, which probably represents the taste of longing." Su Xiaohan said,
Slowly pour the shaken wine into the glass.
"The ingredients here are not complete, and the taste may be a little worse. If there is still a chance to find all the ingredients, I will mix it for you to drink."
Du Jiujiu took the wine glass and took a sip gently. As soon as the snowflakes stained on the rim of the glass touched her lips, the saltiness of the salt stained her mouth and tongue.
Then the wine enters the mouth, and the rich taste has a fresh fruity taste, diluting the salty astringency in the mouth, but the final aftertaste is a light lemon sour taste.
Although Du Jiujiu had never drunk a cocktail before, she could still feel the endless twists and turns of this glass of wine and the mixture of five flavors. Just as Su Xiaohan said, it seemed that the bitterness and sorrow in her heart were crushed together and mixed into it.
"Well, it tastes good." Du Jiujiu put down the wine glass in her hand and praised it sincerely.
Looking at Su Xiaohan again, there was a hint of sympathy. He seemed to be slightly older than herself. If it was as he said, he left home before graduating from high school, then over the years, he
The bitterness and suffering I have experienced must be like this glass of wine, which is difficult to describe in words.
Moreover, what made her even more curious was what exactly happened that year that Su Xiaohan said. How could a young man leave home alone for so many years, even neglecting his studies.
Seeing that Su Xiaohan had nothing to say, Du Jiujiu didn't ask, just sat quietly next to him, sipping the wine in the glass.
If one day he wants to tell himself about his previous experience, then he can be his audience again.
The wine glass was not big, and there was not much wine in it. Even if Du Jiujiu drank in small sips, the wine in the glass had already reached the bottom before long.
"Would you like some more?" Su Xiaohan took the wine glass and asked.
"No, let's eat something." Du Jiujiu shook her head and refused.
Although this wine is fruity, sweet and sour, there is not a lot of alcohol in it. If you drink more, you might get drunk. Du Jiujiu would never dare to take it lightly when spending the night out.
The packet of egg rolls she just ate was nothing to Du Jiujiu, whose appetite increased a lot after waking up. After drinking some sweet wine, Du Jiujiu felt even hungrier.
She picked up another pack of biscuits, opened the package, and ate it with mineral water.
