Chapter 22: Drinking is harmful to health. So is being too confident.

"Just give it to him, I don't need a menu." After adjusting the hem of her big red high-waisted tight skirt, Shi Shiran sat by the window of the restaurant. The red-haired woman, who was even brighter than the sunset in the sky, waved her hand and rejected the menu handed by the waiter. She was very familiar with it. Liudi directly "named" him: “First, let’s have a dozen of Bass Light as an appetizer. During this period, we’ll sober up a bottle of Château Margaux to clear out the malty taste of the beer, and then we’ll have affordable classic whiskeys from Palmer, Talisca, and Glenfiddich. Same bottle. Finally, wait for me... When we are almost done drinking, we will finish with a Macallan whiskey in a sherry cask, and then add a bottle of Captain Morgan brand dark rum to take away. Hmm...that's all for now. By the way, the bill should be written in the name of Leon Lane and sent to the Cleanup Bureau under the Police Department. It will be paid on payday. " "..." Looking at the red-haired woman who had finished the menu... or the wine list in less than five seconds, and even paid the bill directly on credit, Leon, who was holding another menu, couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and reminded with a forced smile: "Director, these are all wines you ordered. Do we want some more meals?" "Ah, it's okay. You eat what you have and don't worry about me. I can just drink what I have." "..."

Don't eat anything else, just drink? So are you really planning to drink yourself to death here? After opening the wine section of the menu and finding the types of wine the other party ordered, Leon felt his scalp begin to tingle as he looked at five or six bright dark "spirits" signs. According to the wine classification standards implemented by the Ministry of Commerce of the Kingdom, varieties with an alcohol content of more than 30% must be labeled as spirits. However, these products are not only labeled as spirits, but also dark-colored spirits, proving that the alcohol content must be at least 40%. Get started. I... I'm so full that I want to treat her to a drink! After looking at the menu, which was not expensive but definitely not cheap, Leon hesitated for a long time and was still reluctant to spend too much money. After picking here and there, he finally chose a shepherd's pie, which was layered with lamb, mashed potatoes and lettuce, and ordered a plate of braised veal with vegetables after the meal, which he planned to take home for his younger siblings. , and watched the performance of his own director with trepidation. … "Well~ I really miss it~" After drinking down half a dozen light beers elegantly yet wildly at a speed that Leon couldn't understand at all, Olivia tucked her red hair behind her ear and leaned down as if no one else was watching amid the whispers of others in the restaurant. , sniffed gently at the opening of the decanter, and a delicate blush suddenly appeared on her pretty cheeks. “The taste of raspberries, toast, very mellow coffee, and a hint of truffle~ It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted such an exquisite wine~” "..." So powerful? Frightened by the red-haired woman's expression of enjoyment, Leon quietly raised his nose and sniffed, but he only smelled a bit of the sweet and sour fruit aroma and nothing else. He couldn't help but frowned suspiciously. There's no such thing as bread and coffee...it's a lie, right? "What? Don't believe it?" After glancing at Leon's expression, the red-haired woman took a cup, poured him half a cup of bright red wine, and then handed it over with a smile. "Taste it?" "Well……" After smelling the slightly pungent smell of alcohol, Leon, who did not drink, frowned subconsciously and instinctively wanted to refuse.

But thinking that he had paid for this wine, and quite a lot, he took the wine glass uncontrollably, took a big sip according to the method taught by the red-haired woman, and pumped the wine around with his cheeks. He quickly rolled his tongue twice and swallowed it with a gulp. "How about it?" Looking at Leon who was gasping for breath in front of her, the red-haired woman put her chin in her hands, observed his flushed face, and said with a smile: "For those who are new to wine, sweeter types are actually more suitable. This more powerful and exciting dry wine may be a bit early for you... Haha, little guy, do you still want to drink it? ?” "Hiss..." After taking two slow breaths, feeling the slightly uncomfortable soreness around his teeth, Leon's eyes lit up unconsciously. "Drink! And I want another drink too!" The reason why he changed his attitude so quickly was not because Leon realized the beauty of alcohol, nor was he stimulated by the red-haired woman's teasing attitude towards her little brother, but...
