1517 [Oath of Love]
South Korean soju is mostly made by blending.
Because there was a food shortage in South Korea in 1965, the government banned the brewing of soju. Since then, the method of making soju has been to blend it with water, alcohol, and spices.
This kind of shochu blended with alcohol is very popular among the lower class people because it is cheap.
For example, Deok-sun's father drank this kind of blended soju at a food stall, and a bottle only cost a few hundred won. Even if his family was not well off, he could still afford it.
The alcohol content of this kind of blended shochu is generally not high, only about 20 degrees. In comparison, Moutai has 53 degrees, which is much stronger than shochu.
Shanyu, Donglong, and Aze had never drank before. They just watched movies and TV shows and saw adults drinking, so they imitated them, filling a glass of wine and finishing it in one gulp.
It would be strange not to get drunk after drinking like this, so the three of them fell to the ground before they could survive one round, making Xiang Nan feel sorry for the wine.
Unlike them, Xiang Nan is a person who understands wine, especially Moutai, which is one of the best liquors in China.
The best way to drink this kind of wine is to drink it lightly and slowly, and slowly savor its mellow, thick and delicate taste.
…
"Oh, you three are too inferior." Seeing that Shanyu, Donglong, and Aze were knocked down so easily, Deshan couldn't help but mocked.
She has also watched movies and TV shows. How can the heroes in them have such a bad drinking capacity? It's really embarrassing to get so drunk after just one drink. In comparison, Xiang Nan is a man, and he still doesn't get drunk after drinking so much.
"Yeah, you're awesome, try it yourself." Donglong said dissatisfied.
When Deshan heard this, he immediately said, unwilling to be outdone, "Just give it a try~"
Xiang Nan smiled, poured her a small cup, and said, "Deshan, take a small sip first, don't drink it all in one go."
Deshan nodded and tried to take a sip. His brows immediately furrowed and he stuck out his tongue. His face was full of pain, "Oh~ what does this taste like? You guys are crazy. You are drinking such a terrible thing. Ah, Xiba ~”
She complained loudly that she felt that this wine was the most unpleasant thing to drink in the world. It was bitter, spicy, astringent and choking. It was extremely unpleasant to drink!
Seeing her reaction like this, Donglong, Shanyu, and Aze all showed gloating smiles.
"Come on, hurry up and eat some food." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Deshan took two bites of the food, but still felt uncomfortable. He hurriedly left and went home to wash up. "Oh my god, I will never drink again until I die."
…
After Deshan left, Xiang Nan drank the rest of the wine alone, and then lay down with everyone else, "Ah, it's comfortable~"
Moutai is really good. It has a mellow taste and a long aftertaste. The key is that you won’t get drunk even if you are drunk.
"Zhenghuan, I think you are right. I also find that Deshan is getting cuter and cuter." Donglong narrowed his eyes and said drunkenly, "Shanyu, what about you?"
"Well, a little bit." Shan Yu nodded, "Aze, what about you?"
Cui Ze nodded heavily.
Xiang Nan sighed, and then said loudly, "I declare that I will pursue virtue and kindness~"
Hearing what he said, Cui Ze's eyes immediately widened.
Shanyu and Donglong both laughed, "Have you finally made up your mind? Okay, then go for it!"
They already knew that Xiang Nan liked Deshan, but they were afraid of destroying the harmonious relationship between them, so they didn't dare to take that step.
Now that he finally had the courage to pursue virtue and kindness, he deserved encouragement, and they were all happy for him.
Cui Ze was a little confused and was about to ask more questions. At this moment, Donglong raised his butt and let out a stinky fart~
"Ah, this news is fart again~" Shanyu was closest to him, so he was the first to suffer.
"You kid, what did you eat? Your farts are so smelly~" Xiang Nan couldn't help but cover his nose.
Even Cui Ze almost choked and kept coughing while covering his mouth.
"I'm sorry~" Donglong said apologetically, but then he placed another one.
"Yeah~~" Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and fled in all directions.
…
The next day, Xiang Nan went to the "Literary Monthly" magazine to discuss matters related to the publication of the novel.
President Jin and Ms. Baozi were a little worried and prepared to go with him, but were stopped by Xiang Nan.
"Mom and Dad, I can just go by myself. If I can't handle it, I'll ask you later." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Just give me a chance to practice."
After hearing what he said, the two of them had no choice but not to go.
Xiang Nan then took a bus and came to Literary Monthly Magazine.
After arriving, he went to the front desk and said, "Hello, I'm looking for editor Park Dong-soo." He said to the young lady at the front desk.
"Do you have an appointment?" The lady at the front desk glanced at him and asked.
"Yes, I am Jin Zhenghuan, the author of "Blue Life and Death Love". Editor Park invited me here." Xiang Nan nodded.
Hearing what he said, the young lady at the front desk's eyes suddenly lit up. She flipped through the appointment book and immediately stood up respectfully, "Hello, Editor Park Dongxiu is waiting for you in the office. Go inside to room 220, and that's him.
's office."
"Okay, thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.
"You're too polite." The lady at the front desk immediately returned the courtesy.
Seeing the arrogant and respectful behavior of the receptionist, Xiang Nan had a clear understanding of the status of a writer.
He then came to room 220 and knocked gently on the door.
"Please come in~" I heard shouting from inside the door.
Xiang Nan pushed the door open and walked in, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man in his forties inside, "Hello, you are Editor Park Dong-soo, and I am Kim Jung-hwan."
"You..." The man was stunned, looked at Xiang Nan up and down several times, and then nodded, "Yes, I am Editor Park Dongxiu. You are Jin Zhenghuan, the author of "Blue Life and Death Love"? How old are you?
"
"Eighteen years old." Xiang Nan nodded.
"..." Park Dongxiu was stunned again, eyes widening in surprise, "Eighteen years old?! Unbelievable."
After he read the novel "Blue Life and Death Love", he was moved to tears by its story. He thought that someone who could write such a touching love story must be at least twenty or thirty years old.
But I never expected that Xiang Nan was only eighteen years old. It was really unexpected.
"Please take a seat." Park Dongxiu then said with a smile, "Oh, that's amazing. To be able to write such a good novel at the age of eighteen is really a genius."
"You're honored." Xiang Nan smiled.
"When I was eighteen years old, I could only write some prose." Park Dongxiu also said with emotion, "It's really amazing."
He was considered a literary young man back then and liked to write, but he had only written some short stories, prose poems and the like. He could not even think of a novel of hundreds of thousands of words.
"You are really flattering." Xiang Nan said modestly again, and then reminded with a smile, "Editor Park, let's talk about the novel."
He didn't want to hear his meaningless compliments anymore, he was tired of hearing similar words.
