Lu Yanqing got up and went out when he saw the identical wine jar. He simply thought that such a small jar of wine was definitely not enough for so many people to drink. Since the wine looked the same, he would go and get two more jars.
Therefore, he was unaware that Grandpa Zhai had just explained the origin of his jar of wine, nor did he know that the two jars of wine in his hand were actually different from Grandpa Zhai's.
Under the gaze of so many people, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Grandpa Zhai realized what was happening and immediately said, "I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at those two jars of wine in your hand. Quick, Old Lu, bring those two jars of wine over here so I can take a look!"
Lu Yanqing was puzzled, but he didn't say anything and went over as instructed.
Grandpa Qin wanted to stop it, but his little granddaughter was right there, and he was worried that he might say something inappropriate and upset her.
After all, she had said that she brewed the wine herself.
It wouldn't be good if he misunderstood and thought he was criticizing her wine...
Never mind, it's all a granddaughter's filial piety. Although she accidentally bumped into the wine that Grandpa Zhai spent a lot of money to get on the outer packaging, the sentiment is more precious, isn't it?
Wine has a price, but filial piety is priceless.
So what if it's found to be fake? It's just a little embarrassment.
Thinking this, Old Master Qin felt relieved and withdrew his hand that was about to stop them, allowing Lu Yanqing to carry the wine to Old Master Zhai and the others.
As soon as the person approached, Grandpa Zhai and Grandpa Shao immediately grabbed one jar each.
The other two elderly people, Mr. Qiu and Mrs. Zhai, didn't react as strongly as the other two, but they couldn't help but curiously join in.
Looking from top to bottom and left to right, the more he looked, the wider his eyes widened. Finally, Old Master Zhai freed one hand and slapped Qin Yu and Lu Yanqing on the back, feigning anger, "Well, Qin and Lu, so you were hiding such good wine without saying a word, and you were just watching me brag about it? What, you were secretly laughing at me, weren't you?"
The anger was feigned, but the embarrassment was real.
Despite his constant use of the term "unfilial son," he was actually overjoyed that his son remembered him. Even when he went to discuss business, he didn't forget to buy him wine, and it was such a rare and precious wine.
He figured he couldn't compete with his grandchildren's looks, so he could only compete with his son's filial piety. He was secretly showing off for a while when, to his surprise, Old Qin and Old Lu turned around and brought him two identical bottles of wine!
This is so awkward, it's unbelievable.
If it weren't for the fact that they've known each other for decades and always gotten along well, he would have suspected that these two old guys were doing it on purpose!
Grandpa Zhai was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring.
Little did he know, Qin Yu was even more embarrassed than he was.
Seeing that Old Master Zhai was about to open the bottle, Qin Yu felt that telling the truth now was better than being exposed as having counterfeit wine later. So he immediately reached out to stop him and said with an awkward laugh, "Old Zhai, what are you saying? My wine... is different from yours."
Good grief, even at this point, you're still telling him it's different!
"That's going too far, Lao Qin! The packaging is the same, I've looked closely, even the marks on the bottom of the jars are exactly the same, and you're still telling me they're different? What, does your wine have to be more expensive than mine?!"
Qin Yu looked embarrassed, but secretly glanced at her granddaughter, who was busy finishing the food that Gu Yueming and the others had put in her bowl. She breathed a sigh of relief that they weren't paying attention to them.
Then he moved closer to Old Master Zhai and lowered his voice, saying, "That's not what I meant, but this wine is really different."
He gestured towards Qin Sheng's direction with his lip, lowering his voice even further: "These two jars of wine were brewed by my Sheng Sheng herself and given to me and Lao Lu. Besides these two jars, there are eight more jars piled up in the warehouse."
"Ten jars in total? Do you think I have the ability to reduce the other eleven jars to ten?"
That's impossible, of course.
Not to mention him, even those at the top of the world wouldn't be able to do it.
Grandpa Zhai glanced at Grandpa Qin and saw his tense and embarrassed expression, with his eyes constantly glancing in Qin Sheng's direction as if afraid she would hear him. Only then did he reluctantly believe his words.
I didn't press the matter further.
Grandpa Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, regained his normal voice, and winked at Grandpa Zhai while saying, "This wine was brewed by my granddaughter herself. Although the wine may not be as good as yours, wine has a price, but friendship is priceless. Since Old Lu brought it out, you must taste it properly! You can't show favoritism!"
The three old men nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course!"
Grandma Zhai gave Grandma Qin a look of envy and said, "Oh dear, it's really incomparable. Look at your granddaughter, she's beautiful, studies well, and even knows how to brew wine!"
"The key is that he is filial. Even though he is so busy, he still remembers to make time to brew wine for you. Compared to him, I wish I could go back and give my kids a good beating!"
Grandma Qin smiled, her eyes crinkling: "My little girl is the best!"
Grandma Zhai: "..."
Should she not have cooperated so much? Why does she suddenly feel a pain in her chest?
Qin Sheng finally finished most of the food in her bowl. When she looked up, she heard these few words. She paused and said, "If Grandpa and Grandpa Lu think it's good, I'll brew some more when I have time."
His gaze swept over the elderly men, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If Grandpa Zhai, Grandpa Shao, and Grandpa Qiu like them, I'll have Grandpa bring one jar for each of you."
Five elderly men who love wine: ...Thank you?
Their faces lit up with surprise and delight: "Really? That's wonderful! We thank you in advance!"
Qin Sheng nodded: "You're welcome."
The elderly people: "..."
Well, young people need encouragement, so let's just consider this a token of their appreciation as grandfathers.
If it tastes really bad or has no alcohol flavor, just throw it in the warehouse.
Thinking this, everyone's smiles returned, and Grandpa Zhai raised his hand and opened the wine that Qin Sheng had personally brewed, which Lu Yanqing had just snatched from his hand.
A refreshing and delicate aroma of wine, not strong, wafted through the air, accompanied by a very faint medicinal scent, and quickly spread throughout the entire restaurant.
This taste... it seems so familiar.
Grandpa Zhai and Grandpa Shao exchanged a glance and subconsciously looked at the other jar of wine placed on the table.
—That was the jar that Grandpa Zhai brought.
The jar of wine remained quietly standing on the table, sealed shut.
In other words...
Old Master Zhai's gaze suddenly shot towards Qin Yu. He held back for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Old Qin, are you fucking kidding me?!"
