034. Cup(1/2)
"Wait, what kind of culture is a cup of wine?" Qian Linya stopped Kobori Toyama, who was eager to try it out, and asked quickly.
Kobori's cunning look flashed in his eyes: "Don't ask, you two should drink quickly, and you will have to drink with everyone after drinking!"
"Everyone?"
Kobori Toyama explained it to him in a few short sentences, but Qian Linya still felt unbelievable.
According to the tradition of Shinjuku Tea Couplet, every member of the society needs to have a drink of wine with everyone to show closeness - this is how Kobori Toyama explained.
Qian Linya initially felt that he shouldn't drink the jiaojiu no matter what... After a while, he realized that in Japanese culture, the meaning of jiaojiu is different from that in China.
In China, a glass of wine is called Hentai, which is a posture for men and women to drink when they get married; but in other civilizations, most of them drink it when their brothers become sworn brothers. The same is true in Japan.
There are many big brothers and little brothers in the Jidao and the two big men, who are so good at drinking.
Therefore, the cup of wine here does not mean that men and women are ambiguous.
I'm afraid it's just Kobori Toyama who wants to give them a warning.
Qian Linya leaned over and asked, "When this Zen Master Rongyi joined the society, did he have a drink of wine with everyone?"
He looked at the monk, and the other party looked like a serious person with a compassionate Buddha statue.
"Of course!" "I've drank it!" The person on the table immediately responded with a smile.
The monk still looked compassionate and bowed to his head, "After drinking, when I joined the association, the chairman was still from the Ermiaozhai of the Moqian Family."
"Anyway, this traditional habit cannot be lost!" Kobori Toyama was as excited as the junior high school student who came to the class.
There were seniors on the table, and even Qian Linya felt a little stressed. He looked aside at Qingshui Shina, hoping that she could help her. He turned his head but found that she was just sitting shyly.
"This guy didn't show his strength at all today. Could it be that she is so well-behaved in front of others and only so lively in front of me?" He couldn't help but think.
However, the behavior of the men of Kobori Toyama is a bit suspicious of workplace bullying for Kiyomizu. As a gentleman and classmate, he still needs to help the top leader.
"Qingshui is a girl, so I'll be exempted from drinking with everyone. I'll drink with all of you." Qian Linya took the initiative to take the lead.
"No! No!" The others on the table immediately started to clamor, and the monk was called in distorted.
Kobori Toyama knocked on the table with chopsticks, and said in a nonsense tone that he would not allow it. It seemed that he had been looking forward to having close contact with the beautiful girl in the tea ceremony for a long time.
Then, he took the lead, clapping his hands rhythmically, and shouting like singing: "Glass of wine! Glass of wine! Glass of wine!"
Under his guidance, the others also started to clamor.
"Is the atmosphere just getting hot before the banquet started?"
Qian Linya and Qingshui looked at each other helplessly.
"We are not 20 years old yet." Qian Linya said to Kobori Toyama, "You can't drink."
"Drinks are OK, too." Sushui Zongshi, who was flowing in, interrupted.
"Wine is good, the important thing is to have a glass of wine!" Kobori Toyama clapped his hands and started to clamor again, "Get a glass of wine! Get a glass of wine! Get a glass of wine!"
Sure enough, even if the tea people alliance is full of stinky men, it will become greasy in private.
However, Qingshui's sudden appearance of not resisting at all also made Qian Linya very troubled.
Is it really okay for her to be harassed like this? Can she really tolerate having a drink with a group of big men?
"That's all for Qingshui!" Qian Linya grabbed the wine pot and filled the wine glass in front of Kobori's Forest through the table. Kobori's Forest immediately made a sound "Oh Dodododo".
After all, he is a celebrity. Although he is a junior, his status is not low because of his fame battle. This way, Kobori Toyama has no reason to continue to force him.
Qian Linya poured wine for the men in turn, and they were embarrassed to say anything else.
"That's all clear water! I'll drink with you." Qian Linya repeated.
At this time, the boss of the izakaya pushed open the door and put dishes on the table with a smile.
Kobori Toyama shouted: "Boss lady! Please give these two young people a drink. What do you drink? Juice? Soda? Milk?"
"I want to drink tea." Qian Linya said.
"I'll have tea too." Qingshui whispered in a low voice.
There is no matcha in the Izakaya that is in the tea ceremony. Two bottles of oolong tea drinks were handed over, and the two opened the bottle and poured the cups in front of them.
Kobori Toyama raised his cup and said, "Shinjuku tea couplet, warmly celebrate the two young and promising genius tea people in the meeting!"
The little bit of quarrel just now was immediately swept away and the atmosphere became warmer again.
At the tea table, everyone drank all in one go, and even Zen Master Rongyi drank without any ambiguity.
Putting down the cup, everyone on the table sighed with satisfaction after drinking.
Kobori Toyama raised his cup again and said, "To avoid misunderstandings, I will explain that I did not hold an induction ceremony for Zhao Youzhai immediately because the atmosphere during that period was not suitable for a lively banquet. Later, all kinds of things happened... In short, Daoxianzhai has joined in now, and it happened to be the time to join the party together."
The "atmosphere is not suitable" he said, referring to the new demise of Qian Linya's parents, and no one can attend the lively banquet. Unexpectedly, Kobori Toriyama was a second-tier disease, and he was quite sensitive in this regard.
He raised his wine glass to Qian Linya: "Come on? Zhao Youzhai."
Qian Linya walked up, slapped his arm, and finished drinking the cup of oolong tea.
"There will be a family in the future." Kobori Toyama smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you for your care." Qian Linya responded.
Although the sense of ritual is false, the relationship has really brought a lot closer after a while.
He moved the empty cup back and was about to fill it up by himself, but Qingshui, who was sitting next to him, had already taken the initiative to bring his drinks over, like a newlywed wife, kneeling and helping him fill the cup.
"Thank you." Qian Linya was caught off guard.
Qingshui put the oolong tea drink back in an instant and said nothing.
"Yuan Yuanzhai, please." Qian Linya had a drink with Nomura again.
Then, he finished drinking with Zen Master Rongyi and Sushui Zongshi. During this period, he had been pouring tea drinks for him. After drinking the glass of wine, everyone applauded.
The banquet officially began, and everyone picked up the food in front of them.
Kobori Yuanshan didn't let Qian Linya and Qingshui Shi'an go so easily. When everyone ate some food and cushioned his stomach, they immediately found the right thing to say:
"Daoxianzhai is a woman, just let it go with everyone, but there is no atmosphere of joining the club. Everyone thinks, can you let her go like this?"
"No, no." Nomura Yukishiro shook his head as if he was talking to himself.
"No! No!" Sushui Zongshi was not interested in watching the fun.
"It's better to do this. You two young people have a drink with each other. Even if you recommend her to join the club, what's going on?" Kobori Toyama said to Chi Linya and Kiyomizu.
Qian Linya was holding a skewer of chicken skewers in his hand, and the corner of his mouth was still covered with cumin powder. He was stunned and turned to look at Qingshui for a moment, but found that she had no objection.
"Why me?"
"You two are of the same age and are two gems, why can't you?"
“This is too…”
He turned around and looked at the water clearly, but found that she simply raised her wine glass.
"I will definitely not be able to escape this level today!" Qingshui said in an instant.
The girl had no objection, so Qian Linya had to bite the bullet and raise the cup.
He kept sitting in a straight position, moved to the opposite side of Qingshui, sat directly opposite her, and raised the cup in his hand, and Qingshui did the same movements as him.
"Then I'll start."
"Please."
The two of them said this, then approached each other, crossed their arms, and returned their hands, and raised the quilt in front of them.
The fragrance of Qingshui's body floated over in an instant. It couldn't be said what it smelled, but it was very fresh.
Their faces were so close that he could see the slight trembling of her eyelashes.
Although his actions were quite ambiguous, he controlled himself not to think about that aspect, and at the same time tried to pay attention not to touch her breasts, and then finished the tea drink in the cup in one breath.
The two of them untangled their arms and sat down. They even finished drinking wine.
Maybe it was an illusion, and I felt that Qingshui’s face was a little red.
"Please give me more advice in the future, Zhao Youzhai." Qingshui whispered in a low voice.
"Well, so are you." Qian Linya was a little uncomfortable with such a gentle Miss Sakura.
Kobori Toyama took the lead in applauding, and the others cheered, and the atmosphere was very warm by him. I always felt that these old men also liked to watch such a young scene of men and women.
Qian Linya is now a little suspicious that the reason why Kobori Toyama, who is a second-aged middle school student, was able to get the position of Chalian as the chairman purely because he was able to exert the banquet atmosphere.
Everyone started to eat and drink again. Qian Linya talked to Nomura and others around him from time to time and learned a lot of anecdotes from the tea world. Nomura didn't talk much, but when the conversation started, he started talking more; Sushui was younger and spoke very straightforward.
In short, it may be due to professional reasons, and it is not difficult for these tea people to get along with.
On the other side, Qingshui looked shy and did not take the initiative to join the topic. She would answer only after asking. But her awesome look was also very cute and would not make people hate it.
After eating for a tour, the wine pot was filled up. Nomura, who had been talking very little, asked after realizing it:
"Hey, Zhao Youzhai and Daoxianzhai aren't they lovers?"
Qian Linya and Qingshui turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
