Chapter 454 You're Addicted!
But too much alcohol can still pique people's curiosity.
These are all good wines.
Shen Zhixia was bored at home and had nothing to do. She looked at the wine and decided to try it.
Seeing that no one was around, she opened a bottle and began to savor it. As soon as she took a sip, she found it spicy and sour, and very unpleasant to drink. No wonder Shen Zhixia was someone who didn't drink alcohol, so she couldn't taste anything good about the wine.
But it was good wine, and she couldn't bear not to drink it, so she swallowed it all. After a few more sips, Shen Zhixia suddenly began to taste something.
This wine is quite delicious...
The wine was delicious.
No wonder so many people enjoy drinking; good wine can indeed be quite addictive.
When Huo Chenzhou returned, he didn't see Shen Zhixia, so he went to take a shower by himself. After he finished showering, he realized that he had forgotten to bring his clothes.
So Huo Chenzhou called out, "Wife, help me get my clothes down."
By this time, Shen Zhixia would usually be back inside, and you should be able to hear him talking. But there was no sound outside, so it seemed that Shen Zhixia hadn't returned yet.
Huo Chenzhou had no choice but to come out alone. A gust of wind blew by, and it was really cold.
After he found the clothes and put them on, he went everywhere looking for Shen Zhixia.
He happened to run into Xiaobao in the yard and asked, "Xiaobao, have you seen your mother?"
Xiao Bao shook his head: "No."
"That's strange, she should have been off work long ago by now," Huo Chenzhou muttered to himself.
Da Bao said, "I saw Mom come back, and she didn't go out again after that."
"Are you sure?" Huo Chenzhou asked, frowning.
Da Bao nodded: "Yes, I'm sure."
When Huo Chenzhou returned to the room, he saw Shen Zhixia on the floor. Her face was flushed, and she was sleeping soundly, hugging a quilt.
He quickly carried Shen Zhixia to the bed, and then smelled alcohol on her.
"Wife, why are you drinking? You never drink, do you?" Huo Chenzhou asked, somewhat surprised.
He and Shen Zhixia have been married for so many years, but he has never seen Shen Zhixia drink alcohol before. Why did she drink so much this time?
Shen Zhixia didn't wake up, so Huo Chenzhou nudged her again: "Wife, wife..."
This time, Shen Zhixia woke up. She rubbed her head, feeling still dizzy, and said, "I just saw there was a lot of wine, so I tried some. You know what, the wine was really delicious."
"I feel like I've learned how to drink."
Shen Zhixia had never drunk alcohol and had no interest in it. She thought she would never try it in her life, but after trying it this time, she actually found the alcohol quite good.
It really does become addictive after drinking it for a while.
Huo Chenzhou said with some puzzlement, "Alcohol is not a good thing, you should drink less."
He does drink, but because of his profession, he has to stay clear-headed and can't drink too much.
Shen Zhixia said, "This is the best wine I've ever drunk. You should try it."
"I've only seen you drink this one time, so it must be the best wine you've ever tasted," Huo Chenzhou said.
Shen Zhixia continued to recommend, "Anyway, this wine is different. It's very fragrant. I don't usually like drinking, but I can drink this wine. You must try it."
Huo Chenzhou didn't want to drink: "I won't drink. But you, don't overindulge in alcohol in the future. Drinking too much is very bad for your health."
Shen Zhixia didn't want to hear it: "Why are you like a male mother? Of course I know that drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health, but we didn't drink that much."
Her head was spinning, but she kept urging Huo Chenzhou to drink, insisting that the wine had a mellow aroma that was different from other wines.
Huo Chenzhou couldn't refuse her, so he eventually drank it.
It tastes good.
It is indeed a fine wine.
It's definitely good wine.
This wine was a private gift from Chun Ya. It wasn't a very expensive wine, just ordinary Nu'er Hong (a type of Chinese wine), but it had been buried underground since she was born. She had to use her connections to buy these few jars of wine.
She gave the wine to Shen Zhixia, never expecting that Shen Zhixia would drink it, and even less expecting that Huo Chenzhou would like it.
So Huo Chenzhou drank one cup after another: "Delicious, it is indeed good wine."
"This is the first time I've ever tasted such a delicious wine; it has a natural sweetness."
Shen Zhixia was still a little drunk, and she said smugly, "Right? I told you, this is good wine."
Seeing that there wasn't much wine left, she said unhappily, "I just wanted you to have a taste, not to drink it all."
"Honey, I'll have one more drink."
Huo Chenzhou said, "Who would have thought that he, who has always had strong self-control, would actually indulge in drinking?"
Shen Zhixia told him not to drink, but he insisted on drinking anyway.
Suddenly, Shen Zhixia felt something was wrong. She frowned and said, "No, you shouldn't drink it. I have a feeling there's something wrong with this wine."
"What's wrong?" Huo Chenzhou asked.
When Shen Zhixia was drinking, she didn't notice anything wrong. She just thought the wine tasted good and wanted to drink more. But when she saw Huo Chenzhou's expression, she realized that something was wrong with the wine.
This wine is addictive.
I wonder if they added something addictive to it.
Shen Zhixia told Huo Chenzhou her thoughts, and Huo Chenzhou was immediately enlightened. He quickly put the wine away and then went to find someone to test it.
It turned out that the wine was indeed problematic; it contained poppy seeds, which are addictive.
The crackdown on opium poppies is not very strict now, but it is still prohibited to add them.
Huo Chenzhou asked where the wine was bought. Chun Ya was shocked. It turned out that the wine was bought in a village. When the police searched the village, they found that the person had planted a lot of poppies.
The man clearly didn't know that poppies couldn't be grown. When the police came knocking, he was terrified, and in the end, all the poppies were eradicated.
From then on, Shen Zhixia gave up drinking.
Sure enough, alcohol is no good.
Huo Chenzhou was still drinking, but he only drank a little each time and didn't overindulge.
