"Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng! A lady ordered a cup...what's it called gin, gin and tonic? Do you know what kind of drink it is?"

He knew that the person in this situation was either rich or noble. If he told the name of a wine he didn't know, it was definitely not because the other person was telling nonsense, but because he was ignorant and had never heard of it.

"I know." Ah Sheng wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Tonic water was originally used to treat malaria, but it tasted bitter, so the alcoholic British soldiers mixed tonic water with gin, minus the quinine, and added lemon juice

, became a cocktail. But this way of drinking is still rare in Shanghai. Is the lady who ordered the drink British?"

"No, they are Chinese." The bartender said urgently, "Just tell me how to do it."

"80% full of tonic water, one ounce of gin, and a slice of lemon. Let me think about it, the tonic water is in the third row on the counter on the left. There should be..." As soon as Ah Sheng finished speaking, the bartender ran away.

Bai Qianyu drank the gin and tonic in this time and space, and it seemed to be no different from the one in her memory. The bartender carefully observed her expression, "Miss, I wonder if it still suits your taste?"

"More ice cubes would be better." Bai Qianyu took a sip and felt the wine rolling down her throat and into her internal organs, and then a faint heat steamed up. She felt that she had a good drinker, and soon she drank half a glass of wine.

Belly.

Seeing that she seemed very kind, the bartender immediately felt relieved and started chatting while wiping the glass, "That's good. I wonder how this wine tastes, so I can make recommendations to customers in the future."

"Gin and tonic? It tastes very smooth and is suitable for women, but it is actually a strong liquor. People who are not good at drinking can easily get drunk if they drink too much. If you recommend it to a woman who is not good at drinking, you might as well make a glass of Pina Colada." Bai Qianyu said,

She felt that her face was starting to heat up, and she was talking more than usual. Could she get drunk after just half a glass of cocktail? Just kidding, she had been in the bar for ten years and had never seen anything, but she didn't know why, but now she felt a little bit

float.

"Coconut...Pina Colada? I've never heard of it. Madam, can you tell me how to make it? I promise not to spread it." The bartender's eyes lit up, but he saw Ah Sheng walking over quietly, with his ears raised.

A curious look.

"It's very simple. The ingredients are white rum, pineapple juice and lemon juice, and the most important thing is coconut milk." Bai Qianyu took a sip of wine, and the band in the banquet hall changed to a light jazz song. Under the influence of alcohol,

She no longer feels there is any difference between this era and the 21st century. “Some people say it is a tropical valley with lush pineapples, but I think it is more like Miami Beach in midsummer, where the scenery is beautiful, the air is sweet, and there is no

Girls will reject it."

The bartender was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he wanted to write down every word of her words in his notebook - if he could learn it, this would be his unique skill! He touched all over his body and finally took out a book from his pocket.

He took out a crumpled piece of paper and wrote down every word Bai Qianyu said before putting it away as if he had found a treasure.

"Madam, there is no coconut milk here. When I prepare the ingredients, I will treat you to a glass of Pina Colada." The bartender said solemnly. He wanted to ask Bai Qianyu's name, but did not dare to say it, and hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, someone suddenly sat next to him. Bai Qianyu raised his head and looked. It was a beautifully dressed woman. She only wore an embroidered vermillion short cheongsam. The cuffs were extremely short, not only exposing her arms, but actually

Her elbows were exposed, revealing a pair of slender arms, her eyebrows were drawn thinly, and her hair was permed into exaggerated hand-push waves and combed beside her forehead, making her porcelain-white cheeks particularly charming.

"Miss Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you." She opened her red lips slightly and spoke in a soft accent, "I heard that you just came to Shanghai, what do you think of it here?"

Bai Qianyu found out that the person she was chatting with was a woman. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. She put her hand on her chin and spoke in a lazy tone, not showing any interest, "Is something the matter?"

"It's okay. I just thought that you are Shaoze's fiancée. I have just arrived in Shanghai and am not familiar with the place. I came to talk to you." Her eyes glanced over with a bit of a smile, which was somewhere between

Between coquettishness and contempt, it's almost hard to tell whether it's something to be upset about or whether it's a light joke.

In fact, she had noticed Bai Qianyu from the beginning, but although Fu Shao's fiancée, who was rumored to be from an old-fashioned family, came to Shanghai for the first time, she did not express her wonder and ignorance like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden.

She seemed to be a bit of a city, and worthy of coming over to say a few words.

Bai Qianyu glanced at her again, "Who are you?"

"Meng Fangqiong is Shaoze's girlfriend." She smoothed the curls on her temples and said seemingly casually.

"Girlfriend?" Bai Qian Yuxin said. Pan Biying hasn't finished dealing with the last one. Why is there another one here? This woman's name is familiar. She seems to be the popular movie star who was rumored to have an affair with Fu Shaoze in the gossip tabloids.

"Ah, I forgot, Miss Yu is an old-school girl, maybe she doesn't understand. In our place, if a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, and they have skin-to-skin contact, they are boyfriend and girlfriend." Meng Fangqiong smiled at her.

, "Actually, our identities don't conflict, Miss Yu, are you right?"

Bai Qianyu thought that there is a more appropriate word to describe this kind of relationship in our place: sex partner.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Meng Fangqiong didn't ask further questions. Instead, she snapped her fingers to the bartender and said, "Open a bottle of wine. I want to have a drink with Miss Yu."

The bartender was secretly dumbfounded when he heard this. This young lady who spoke in a noble manner and knew everything about wine was still an "old-school girl". So what kind of woman dared to call herself a new-school girl? He had seen all kinds of high-class people in this Licha Hotel. Others

Not to mention, no one can compare to this young lady when it comes to wine tasting. But he has no right to speak here, so he has to serve the wine.

"I'm very happy to see Miss Yu today." The wine poured into the glass, Meng Fangqiong picked up the goblet and said with a smile, "Miss Yu, don't be disrespectful."

Bai Qianyu thought to herself, "Who are you? I want to give you face?" But she was not interested in acting jealously with the other party. She just said politely, "I'm not good at drinking. I understand."

"Miss Yu, don't worry. This wine is red wine from France. It is different from our wine and is not intoxicating. Shaoze usually likes to drink a glass before going to bed. Miss Yu wants to be Shaoze's wife, how can she continue to drink it?"

He doesn't want to touch it even if he likes it?" Meng Fangqiong brought the wine glass in front of her, her tone was gentle and slow, like a snake swimming up the person's back.

Bai Qianyu thought she talked too much, so she simply picked up the wine glass and drank it.

"That's it." Meng Fangqiong said with a smile, "Miss Yu's gesture with the cup is right, but this wine is not so good for drinking. You have to smell it and shake it before drinking... If you drink like that, others will see it.

You know how to laugh."

"Actually, Shaoze has been on a blind date with the daughter of the chairman of the Commercial Bank of China recently. I brought you to the banquet just to be a shield so that people would know that he has a fiancée." Meng Fangqiong said for the tall girl in front of her

The glass was half full, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Come on, let's have another drink. This time you have to drink it right."

The scarlet wine liquid poured into the crystal glass, reflecting a charming luster. The laser lights beside the dance floor were rotating, the music was lazily played, and the light and shadow flickered. Bai Qianyu felt that her eyes were a little blurry. The world was like a huge kaleidoscope, colorful.

, but she thought of the girl with the old hairstyle in the mirror for no reason.

Bai Qianyu suddenly felt sad. What would she think if Miss Yu was really here? She was once praised by everyone as well-educated and sensible, but everything changed when she arrived in Shanghai. She was ridiculed by servants when she wanted to take a bath. Don't break things, and the clothes she was wearing were

Accusations are hard to make

In Yazhitang, a confidante appeared and told her that you are just a vulgar village woman. Everything she did was wrong, and everything she was proud of before was meaningless, just because she desperately wanted to touch that shining star.

The shining stars, but they are out of reach.

Meng Fangqiong poured it down again, but without waiting for her to persuade her, Bai Qianyu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Fu Shaoze was finishing a round of socializing and saw her sitting at the bar from a distance, seemingly still drinking with others. He couldn't help but worry that there was something wrong with her words and deeds, so he rejected several wanderers who wanted to talk and walked across the dance floor.

Came over.

Then he saw Meng Fangqiong sitting opposite Bai Qianyu. To be fair, Meng Fangqiong was dressed impeccably today. She was a first-class beauty. Her red cheongsam was as charming as a flower. Anyone's eyes would be attracted to her. Bai Qianyu was dressed plainly.

She was almost invisible next to Meng Fangqiong. But she sat there quietly, toasting and drinking. Meng Fangqiong was not in her eyes, and even the whole noisy world did not exist in her eyes.

Seeing that Bai Qianyu was a little drunk, Meng Qiongfang couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you drinking so fast? You'll have to drink another drink as a penalty." After that, she poured another glass.

Bai Qianyu didn't care what she said, she was just happy to have someone pour her wine, so she picked up the cup and drank.

"Stop drinking."

The cup in Bai Qianyu's hand was snatched away. She raised her eyes and saw Fu Shaoze standing in front of her. The lights were swaying. He was wearing a white suit, with rhinestone cuffs shining slightly. All the lights seemed to be focused on him. Meng Fangqiong couldn't help but

He stood up without panic, went to hold his arm and said, "Shaoze, I was just talking to Miss Yu. I was happy for a while, so don't blame her for being greedy."

"How could it be?" Fu Shaoze smiled, but gently took away her hand.

Meng Fangqiong noticed his movements, the smile on her face remained unchanged, but her tone was a little bit coquettish, "Shaoze, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's too boring to leave without even saying a word to others, right? Or..." Her

He glanced at Bai Qianyu, with a smile on his face, "Are you strict at home?"

Fu Shaoze glanced at her and said, "Miss Meng, if you have anything else to talk about, we will have a chance next time. Meng Wan drank too much, so I'll excuse you first." After saying that, he put his arm around Bai Qianyu's waist and helped her to stand up.

I'm afraid that she will be too drunk and do something uncontrollable, which will be embarrassing.

Meng Fangqiong's expression froze, then she took a deep breath and raised a smile, "...Well, I won't disturb you. When the new play premieres, you will come to see it, right?"

"Of course, I will definitely come to support my company's movies." Fu Shaoze said while supporting Bai Qianyu, "...be careful."

Bai Qianyu looked very sober and put away his hand, then took the wine glass and smiled at Meng Fangqiong, "You'd better drink it. I don't like people who owe wine." After saying that, she drank it down calmly in one gulp.
