The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 186 Flowing Seat

Seeing this, Mo Xing, who was sitting next to him, quickly reached out and pulled Lu Wenjie to his seat, and said in a low voice: "Shh - don't talk! Try this delicious dried fruit first! This is specially brought by Sister Lan to share with all of us!" As he said that, he handed the dried fruit in his hand to Lu Wenjie.

Lu Wenjie quickly took the dried fruit from Mo Xing and, without a word, stuffed it into his mouth and began to munch on it. He savored it with relish, mumbling incoherently, "Hmm... so delicious! Oh, by the way, let me tell you, this time we're planning to use the villagers' homemade osmanthus wine for the buffet! I heard that according to local customs, every New Year's celebration must include a glass of sweet and mellow osmanthus wine. Hey, I also brought several boxes of fine wine, but the village chief said that only using local osmanthus wine with the buffet can be considered the most authentic and genuine way to enjoy it!"

Andrew raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said slowly: "The original intention of our coming here this time is to experience the unique customs and culture of this place firsthand. In this case, we should naturally follow the local customs! This homemade osmanthus wine, just thinking about it can guess that it must be extremely fragrant!" After that, he cast his eyes on the hotel waiter brought by Lu Wenjie.

Seeing this, Lu Wenjie understood and gently waved to the waiter, saying, "Hurry up and bring over the osmanthus wine we prepared!"

Not long after, a waiter approached carefully, carrying a heavy, antique wine jar. The jar looked quite old, and was covered with traces of time, as if telling a series of unknown stories.

At this moment, Bai Nini, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, suddenly stood up. As the host of the party, according to etiquette, she should be the first to toast the guests to express her welcome and respect.

Bai Nini walked lightly to the wine jar, stretched out her delicate hands, and carefully removed the wax-covered lid covering the jar's mouth. In an instant, a refreshing and pleasant aroma of wine rose like a wisp of smoke, quickly spreading.

This sweet osmanthus fragrance is not simply a single, pure scent, but rather a multifaceted and captivating blend. Upon first sniffing, the rich, fragrant osmanthus aroma is captivating, yet upon closer inspection, a subtler mellowness emerges, interspersed with other subtle notes—from sweet, savory fruits to spicy, alluring spices.

These diverse aromas blend and complement each other, making the overall aroma of the wine increasingly rich, diverse, and complex. However, compared to the rich and intoxicating aroma, the fragrance of osmanthus wine also possesses a refreshing and refined quality. It does not bring the slightest sense of heaviness or oppression, but rather, like a gentle breeze blowing across the face, leaving one feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Bai Nini chuckled softly as she picked up the wine spoon and carefully dipped it into the jar filled with sweet-scented osmanthus wine. With a gentle scoop, a rich sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance instantly filled the air. She poured the first glass of wine steadily into the glass in front of Andrew.

Andrew stared at the golden liquid in the cup, his eyes filled with surprise. The reason why this osmanthus wine has such an attractive golden color is precisely because of the natural pigments contained in the osmanthus itself and the wonderful chemical reaction during the brewing process.

Looking closely at the wine glass, one discovers that the liquid is as clear and transparent as crystal, without a trace of impurities, as if one can see right through it. This pure and flawless appearance is truly captivating, and a refreshing, bright aroma washes over one.

Andrew eagerly picked up the wine glass, first gently sniffing the refreshing sweetness of osmanthus, then taking a sip. Instantly, his taste buds were enveloped by a deliciously sweet, yet not greasy, flavor unique to osmanthus wine. Then, the rich floral aroma blossomed freely in his mouth, mellow and balanced, leaving him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

This aroma is not only fresh and pleasant, but also long-lasting, as if it has life, jumping and dancing on the tip of the tongue, with distinct layers and harmonious unity.

"What a good wine! It's so delicious! Come on! Nini, fill my brother's glass with another one! Let's clink glasses together and celebrate the arrival of the New Year!" Andrew shouted excitedly, his joy beyond words.

Seeing this, Qin Nuo hurried over to help, and together with Nini, they filled everyone's glass. Everyone raised their glasses, their faces filled with happy smiles, and cheered in unison: "Happy New Year!" The crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the air, adding an even more festive atmosphere to this joyous and peaceful moment.

Everyone gathered around round tables laden with sumptuous dishes, enjoying the nine large bowls of food that were unique to this buffet. The delicious food was mouth-watering, and the new dishes carefully prepared by Lu's chef were the icing on the cake, satisfying everyone's appetite.

At this moment, a burst of crackling firecrackers resounded through the sky, deafening.

Then, the village chief, beaming, led a group of enthusiastic villagers. In a resounding voice, Village Chief Lu declared, "Thank you all for taking the trouble to come to Yufeng Village and for your tremendous support and assistance! Not only have you brought us a wide variety of much-needed supplies, but you've also lent a helping hand to our village school! I'd especially like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Qin! Your generous gift of cattle, sheep, fruit trees, and your incredibly useful pickup truck has greatly improved our living conditions! We are truly indebted to you for this profound friendship! Let us all raise our glasses and toast to everyone! I wish you all peace and happiness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present stood up, raised their glasses high, and responded in unison: "Cheers!" Then they drank it all in one gulp. Laughter and joy immediately filled the entire venue, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Granny Yin gently raised her wrinkled and slightly trembling hand and slowly wiped away the tears glistening in the corners of her eyes. She looked at Luo Shuya with eyes full of affection and love, and said with a slightly hoarse voice full of emotion: "Poor child Nini has suffered so much since she was a child! But fortunately, she has met such kind and thoughtful people like you. She has finally overcome all the hardships and is now enjoying happiness! Mother-in-law, come on, I must toast you today!"
