Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 849

After seeing the legendary ancient black door, everyone rushed down the stairs, rushing to the entrance of the Christmas market.

Just three or four meters away from the entrance of the Christmas market, Lei Lanting, who was rushing to the front, stopped suddenly, sniffed the air above his head like a police dog, and shouted loudly: "Why is it so fragrant? All my gluttons have been hooked out."

The Christmas market is a place to relax and tease the taste buds, but at this time the air is filled with the mixed smell of fried sausages, fried chestnuts, baked potatoes, grilled fish, all kinds of alcohol and unknown food.

Hearing what he said, everyone laughed out of goodwill and understanding. When no one mentioned this matter, they didn't realize it. Someone started it, and the rest felt as if they had been hungry for a century.

What are you waiting for?
Just when everyone was about to "loot" the nearest food stall, Lu Shan stretched out his finger and shouted at the crowd of people on the third and outer floors not far ahead, "Hey, look over there, there are a lot of people."

"I thought the Germans didn't like to get together." Tong Lele's curiosity was also aroused by the group of people, and she said to herself, "I can't see its signboard here either. Does anyone know what it is?"

"You don't need to look at this kind of thing to know it," Lao Bai smiled mysteriously, "and Old Dong must know it too."

Before Dong Qiangqiang could answer, Lu Shanren had already jumped out, and his voice floated back after he jumped out: "I'll go and see what's sold inside."

"What's so hard to guess?" Lei Lanting pointed disapprovingly, "Lu Shan didn't understand it when he came here, and none of us know that there are three treasures in the German Christmas market: potatoes, sausages and red wine."

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Do you think this is in the Northeast? Return the Three Treasures."

"But what he said makes sense..."

The Christmas red wine in Lei Lanting’s mouth is also called Glühwein, which literally means “glowing wine” and has a spicy taste. It is not only the absolute king of alcoholic drinks in the German Christmas market, but also can be found in Christmas markets in Austria and Switzerland.Regarding the origin of its name, there is a saying that this wine was first invented by the ancient Romans. They first found a bottle of ordinary red wine as the base wine, and then added a bunch of seasonings in proportion to create various new tastes. This statement cannot explain the meaning of "glow", so another theory spreads more widely: the wine was originally a hot drink after skiing, and just one glass can make people "glow" again from the inside out.But no matter how it is packaged, it can basically be understood as ordinary red wine that has been heated and added with other seasonings.

"Don't look at anyone again, just at that moment, what do you think is the main product of that company?" Lao Bai held a banknote between two fingers, "It's just you and Lao Dong guessing, whoever guesses the 10s O is whose."

"Mr. Bai, you're not interested. You made a lot of money in the last group, and the lottery was only 10 euros? Do you dare to pay 50 euros?" Lei Lanting looked at Lao Bai provocatively.

Lao Bai smiled slightly, quietly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and took out one from it, "Let you talk first."

"It must be roast sausage, no, it's red wine... um, no, let me think about it again..." Lei Lanting, who was in deep thought for a moment, patted his thigh, "It's definitely roast potatoes with roast sausage and red wine, it must be right, it is This is it."

Lei Lanting had a smug face, he said all three treasures.

Lao Bai turned his head and glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, which seemed to say "it's your turn", Dong Qiangqiang smiled and said, "I think he's right."

"Hey, you're just like me, so you're still gambling..." Lei Lanting looked anxiously like a child, and while winking at Dong Qiangqiang, he muttered in a low voice, "No! You have to say something else, at least let the buddies win once. what."

"Then..." Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and came up with an idea, "I came here just now and saw a lot of people talking and laughing loudly with wine glasses and gulping cold beer, so I guess they drink cold beer, right? I have also seen cold beer at the Munich Christmas market..."

"Drinking cold beer in such a cold weather?" Ding Haifeng couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "Germans are crazy..."

"Hey, old Dong, you're still kind enough to let me go..." Lei Lanting stretched out his hand to grab the money in Lao Bai's hand.

"Wait a minute." The old white hand shrank back, and Lei Lanting caught it empty.

"Hey, Lao Bai, can't afford to lose?" Lei Lanting raised his eyebrows.

Lao Bai held the corner of the banknote and pointed forward: "Lu Shan is back, you can ask him."

Lei Lanting turned his face, just in time to see Lu Shan running up to him.

"Xiaoshan, what are they selling there?" Lei Lanting asked Lu Shan with a smug expression, "Tell us louder." He winked at Lu Shan while talking.

"Lego, that's where Christmas wine is sold."

"Alright." Lei Lanting clapped his hands happily, turned his head and asked with a smile, "Is Boss Bai satisfied this time?"

Lao Bai handed the money to Lei Lanting readily, and at the same time asked Lu Shan calmly: "I wish there was a Christmas red wine stall every few meters here, why is this one so popular, did you see it just now?"

"Brother Bai, I just asked. His ancestors sold this. They claim to have been in business for almost 100 years. It is a time-honored local brand." Lu Shan answered eloquently.

"How many flavors are there?" Lao Bai asked again.

"Two kinds, 15 euros a cup, cloves, honey, lemon, grapes, cinnamon, mint, ginger slices are added to the base wine, and there is a 25 euros cup, no ingredients are mentioned, only an exclusive secret recipe."

Lao Bai patted Lu Shan on the shoulder approvingly. He deliberately asked Lu Shan this question, just to see if Lu Shan had the potential to be a tour guide. If you want to be a tour guide, you must first have eyesight. He can get money, but if he has no eyesight, he will definitely not be able to make money, and Lu Shan did not disappoint him.

"Today is a good day. I invite everyone to taste the taste of this century-old red wine. By the way, thank you for coming to see me." Dong Qiangqiang asked everyone loudly, "Can everyone drink it? Is there anyone who can't?"

"Hey, old Dong, please? Then I have to join in." Lei Lanting grinned and gestured a "V" with a smile, signaling Dong Qiangqiang to have two glasses.

"Although Trier's ice wine and Riesling are good, its Glühwein is indeed not the best, at least not as good as Bavaria's." Old Bai changed the subject, "I won't drink today, and I have to drive later. After everyone drinks, no one will drive, and there is no need to buy it for Lao Ding."

"It's hard for you to come here once, so you should try it." Dong Qiangqiang persuaded, "I'll drive, I won't drink tonight."

"You, the master, can't justify not drinking." After Lao Bai finished speaking, he turned to look at Tong Lele, but he didn't say a word.

Tong Lele guessed what Lao Bai meant: "Okay, you don't have to give way. Lao Ding can't drink alcohol these two days, and I don't drink now. I will drink when I arrive at the hotel at night, so the driver will be enough. Dong Qiangqiang can Park the car in the city center, take our car to the hotel, and he will come back tomorrow to pick up the car."

"Let's go, let's all have a drink, old Dong treats you..." Before Tong Lele could finish speaking, Lei Lanting had already greeted him enthusiastically, as if he was paying the bill instead of Dong Qiangqiang, and everyone surrounded each other, laughing and laughing The crowd flocked to the inner three floors and the outer three floors.
