About an hour later, Qin Meng came back carrying large and small bags of things.
Several people came forward and helped him pick up the things. Qin Meng was quite excited: "I actually bought a copper hot pot and charcoal. It seems that there are quite a lot of Chinese in Seattle."
When Fat Tou heard about the copper hot pot, he was very happy at that time. You must know that he is from Yanjing, and his favorite thing to eat is this old hot pot. He puts the lit charcoal into the stove, and the hot pot soup bubbles, just smelling it.
Just smelling the smell can make people drool.
"Come on, come on, help me quickly and clean up everything." Fat Tou greeted everyone and started getting ready to do things.
He suddenly saw a box of Qindao beer and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it possible to buy liquor here?"
In the American Empire, Qindao Beer is sold in many supermarkets and shopping malls. After all, Qindao Beer is a world-class brand. Of course, the export-grade beer may be more mellow than the domestic one. Anyway, the country is becoming more and more popular these days.
More and more beers were being poured, and they were as thin as water. When the glass was full, there was not even one-fifth of the foam, so it was not mellow enough.
"At first I thought I couldn't buy liquor here, so I bought a box of beer." Qin Meng said, "But I found it again later."
Although there is no liquor in the market of the US Empire, its market share is very small. This is entirely because the US Empire has very strict regulations on liquor and it is not easy to import. Then there are the liquors of the US Empire and the Chinese people.
The cultural gap is huge.
Lao America is far from having a profound wine culture with thousands of years in China.
They don't even know what it is to drink with a close friend and a thousand cups will be too little.
So in fact, Americans generally don’t drink strong alcoholic beverages. Most of the foreign alcoholic drinks are so strong that they should not be drunk, or they may have drank fake foreign alcoholic beverages. You must know what foreigners can say about Chinese people, such as fifty-two degrees or sixty-three degrees.
After pouring the alcohol into my stomach, I felt completely unbelievable.
In fact, most foreign wines are far less powerful than white wine. People who drink white wine know that the higher the alcohol content, the more mellow and mellow the wine is. People who like to drink like wine with a temperature above 52 degrees because it is fragrant.
How many foreign wines are over 52% alcohol? There are only a handful of them, right? Any liquor factory in China has a production line for high-alcohol wine. No one can deny this.
It is said that foreign wine is also high-end, and the people who have great stamina must be people who have not drunk much foreign wine. At most, they have drunk the four most famous fake foreign wines in Chinese nightclubs in bars.
The number one fake foreign wine in various nightclubs is definitely Chivas Regal 12-year-old. No one who goes to nightclubs has not tasted this kind of wine. The Scotch whiskey that originally only costs about 100 yuan is a waste of money in the bar.
, the value has soared three to five times.
Although this wine has always been a favorite in major bars, it is also the foreign wine with the most fake wines in bars. It is even said that you can’t even find one in many bars. Many bar owners don’t know what they are selling.
Is this wine real or fake?
You must know that this kind of Scotch whiskey has been aged in oak barrels for more than twelve years and has been carefully blended by the chief blenders of the past generations. This gives it a rich, mellow, rich and smooth taste.
On the other hand, fake wine can only taste spicy and has a strong pungent taste. In fact, it is easy to distinguish the taste of the wine. Fake wine is prepared with pigments. Drinking too much can lead to pigment poisoning, which can be serious.
It can even cause kidney failure and be life-threatening.
Think about it, Scotland is a big place, and it takes twelve years to age. How many people in China go to bars? If they can make it in one night, it is estimated that Scotland’s annual wine production can be drank in one night, so this
Could it all be real wine?
Anyone with a brain should think carefully and avoid drinking fake wine in the future. Anyway, people who drink foreign wine at nightclubs like to mix their drinks, so if it’s fake, it’s just fake. It doesn’t matter.
There is also the Rémy Martin premium champagne and cognac. People in the bar think that drinking Chivas Regal is a shame, so they like this thousand-yuan drink. In fact, this wine is only 300 yuan a bottle in shopping malls, so it is not that exciting.
It's cool, it's just that it's too expensive in nightclubs.
If you open this kind of wine in a bar and take a sip, it will taste bitter and difficult to swallow. The reason is that it is fake wine.
The real wine tastes full of oak and champagne in the mouth. It is slightly spicy with a hint of cognac. It is very delicious and does not need to be mixed with drinks to drink it in such a low level.
Many nightclubs come with complimentary soft drinks when ordering drinks. The purpose is to prevent you from feeling the taste of fake wine when you drink it. It's the same taste when you go home and buy a bottle of black tea and mix it with alcohol. It's true!
There is also Hennessy VSOP Cognac. The Hennessy series of foreign wines have always been popular in China as mid-to-high-end foreign wines, and have always been the leading foreign wines in the Cognac series. However, they cannot escape the hands of counterfeiters. Hennessy VSOP was ruined by counterfeiting.
A lost classic.
Then there is Rémy Martin CLUB Premium Champagne Cognac. This wine is a representative work of fake foreign wine, because high-imitation counterfeit products cannot be judged whether they are authentic or fake by tasting them or in the outer packaging!
All in all, these four kinds of wine in the bar are most likely fake, so it’s better to drink less of them.
There are a lot of fake foreign wines in China, and there are also a lot of fake white wines in foreign countries. This is definitely directly proportional. After all, fake white wine is easier to make. It comes out as soon as water and alcohol are blended, and there is no need to mix pigments.
Qin Meng held the liquor he bought in front of Fat Tou, who became a little worried: "Can this be real? What if it is all fake liquor? I heard that the American Empire does not buy liquor?
So easy."
"I thought at first that it wouldn't be easy to buy, but then I saw a wine store called NEWPORTSPIRITS, so I went in and took a look." Qin Meng said, "I was shocked when I went in and saw a shelf.
There are all kinds of Chinese liquors! There are high-end ones such as Moutai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, etc., and there are also mid-range Erguotou and the like. There are really many varieties. And the prices are not expensive. I was suspicious.
It’s actually cheaper than in China!”
Fat Tou held the liquor in his hand and couldn't put it down. He liked Luzhou Laojiao, which had a softer taste. Although Erguotou was good, it was still a little spicier than Laojiao.
"Look at this, I also found Kongfujia." Qin Meng took out two bottles of Kongfujia: "Here, give it a try."
"Why did you buy this thing?" Fatty couldn't help but frown.
Qin Meng was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the Kong family good? Although it's not as good as it used to be, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"
"I don't know if this wine tastes good, but his old advertising slogan is quite embarrassing. Kongfu's wine makes people homesick. How uncomfortable it is for us to drink it." Fatty said, he hadn't had it for several years.
Gone home.
"I didn't think much about it," Qin Meng said.
But even though Fat Tou said so, he still took the bottle of wine that made him feel homesick just by looking at it. He didn't care if it tasted good or not, but just this sentence made him homesick, so he had to
Have an extra glass of Kongfujia.
"When we go back, shall we bring some of the Kong family to Mr. Gu?" said the fat head.
Qin Meng nodded: "Okay."
A few people quickly prepared the shabu-shabu and started making it. Everyone exchanged cups together, drank and talked happily.
Even Legend was invited in, and Qin Meng poured a full glass of Kong family wine for each of them. When he and Legend came, both bottles of wine were actually empty.
"There's no more wine?" The fat man was stunned for a moment.
Qin Meng nodded: "If you don't have it, then you don't have it. Anyway, I don't have a home to think about. You guys are homesick. You can drink it. I can drink this."
Then he grabbed a bottle of Erguotou and handed it to Legend: "Don't mind, how about this, this is the same, or you can drink Luzhou Laojiao, you can drink whatever you like."
How dare Legend say no? If they can invite him to the table to eat hot pot together, this has already given him a huge amount of respect. He can drink whatever he likes!
Qin Meng opened a bottle of Erguotou for himself as he spoke: "I like Erguotou, come on, let's raise a toast together, no matter what the reason is for us to get to know each other, and we have stayed together for so many days, it can be considered a kind of
What a great fate! Come on, let’s finish the first cup!”
A big glass of wine and it's all gone.
Everyone else also picked up their wine glasses and cheered. At this time, everyone was in a particularly high mood and drank happily.
The aroma of the hot-boiled mutton was overflowing, and everyone was very happy to eat it.
