60s: I have a store

Chapter 163 Foreign Wine
An old man asked tentatively: "Yimin, are you going to create a new song?"

Zhou Yimin didn't try to shirk responsibility anymore and nodded, "I'll give it a try."

Seeing Zhou Yimin say this, no one at the scene said anything, and no one questioned Zhou Yimin's ability. Although music and other inventions span a wide range, as the most outstanding and talented young man in their institute, who else could they believe if not him?
"Okay, let's call out all the children in our yard!" said the second uncle.

Soon, all the children in the yard were pulled out by their parents.

There are 18 people in total, which is a bit too many.

"Should we narrow the age range further?" someone asked.

Their idea is to kick out those who are too young. They are too young to remember the lyrics and have never seen the world. Maybe they will forget how to sing after they go on stage.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, children who are too young are uncertain factors.

If you want to achieve good results, it is best to kick out children who are too young and prevent them from falling behind.

Zhou Yimin shook his head: "No, let's just leave it like this! More people are better, the singing will be louder, it can cover up the voices of those who accidentally sing wrong, and adjust in time."

After hearing Zhou Yimin's words, everyone thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

So the personnel were determined.

Next, we just have to wait for Zhou Yimin to compose the song and then let the children practice it well.

They don’t have much time left. The street will start the selection next Monday. If they pass the street selection, they will have to represent the street to participate in the cultural and artistic performance next Wednesday.

After discussing the matter, the third uncle announced the adjournment of the meeting without any delay.

Unlike the second uncle in a certain TV series, who wanted to satisfy his official desire and talk a lot, as if he was really giving a speech by a leader. Not only that, he would also hold a meeting of the whole hospital for trivial matters, which was simply hilarious.

Luo Dapeng and Li Youde followed him to Zhou Yimin's home.

"Drink something?" Luo Dapeng asked.

If it weren't for the whole school meeting, he would have gone to the courtyard over there. How uncomfortable it is here! No one cares about him over there, and he would occasionally invite Zhou Dazhong and Li Youde to have a drink.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Okay, I haven't eaten yet, and I got two bottles of foreign wine, let you try it."

After that, Zhou Yimin went to the kitchen and brought out two dishes. In fact, these two dishes were prepared long ago and he just put them in his backpack in the store.

A large plate of chicken and a plate of stir-fried beef with green peppers and onions.

Luo Dapeng and Li Youde were slightly delighted.

Foreign liquor?

Then they have to try it. They have never drunk foreign liquor in their lives!

Then, Zhou Yimin took out two bottles of red wine from the cupboard, and even the production date was 10 years ago. This is the product purchased for 1 yuan today, a total of 100 bottles of red wine, or the famous Lafite.

If you can’t drink the 82 Lafite, the 50 Lafite should be good too.

Lafite red wine has a long history. It was founded in 1354 by a nobleman named Lafite and was already quite famous in the th century.

In later generations, Lafite's prominent floral and fruity aromas, as well as its mellow and smooth flavor, have led many wine lovers to call Lafite the "Queen" of the wine kingdom.

Among them, the most talked about is the 82 Lafite.

I heard that it was because 82 was a rare good year in recent decades. A good year means that the quality of the grapes is very good under the climatic conditions of that year, which include the annual rainfall, sunshine, and weather conditions during the harvest period.

"Yimin, you are really awesome! You can even get foreign liquor." Luo Dapeng rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

After Zhou Yimin removed the cork, he took out a glass and poured half a glass for everyone.

"Fill it up!" Luo Dapeng complained.

Zhou Yimin rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who drinks red wine with a full glass? Don't make a fool of yourself next time, and don't drink it in one gulp."

Although you can eat and drink whatever you want, you don't have to follow the Western rules. It's okay to use chopsticks to eat steak, but if you want to experience a different food culture, it's best to follow its original rules. Otherwise, what's the point of experiencing it?
It's boring!

Just like tasting grouper, people in the southern coastal areas basically steam it to preserve its freshness as much as possible, but some people prefer to braise it, cook it spicy, etc.

It's not that it's not possible, but many people think that this way of eating is a bit of a waste of food.

Since you want to braise it, why use grouper? Grass carp or something else will do, the taste is almost the same.

"Ah! There is such a saying? Okay!" Luo Dapeng was no longer obsessed.

However, his eyes were still fixed on the opened bottle of red wine, and he couldn't help but say, "How about giving me this bottle after you finish it?"

Zhou Yimin was too lazy to point it out to him.

I want to use it to show off.

"what ever."

Seeing Zhou Yimin agreed, Luo Dapeng was so happy that his mouth almost split to his ears.

Everyone started to raise their glasses and took small sips.

As for the complicated rules of drinking red wine, Zhou Yimin doesn't care so much. He even shakes it a few times and sniffs it before drinking, as if doing so would make him look more elegant.

Zhou Yimin scoffed at those wine tasting rules.

What? Shake it and sniff it to make it taste better?

Speaking of shake, Zhou Yimin also thought of a drink in later generations! How low!

Luo Dapeng smacked his lips and said, "It doesn't taste good."

He speaks the truth and is not afraid of being called a bumpkin.

"We are used to drinking white wine, so naturally this kind of wine feels just average!" Zhou Yimin shrugged, without saying that red wine is better than white wine.

Every country has different tastes.

Just like Damao’s vodka, we are not used to it, but to Damao, vodka is like a god.

However, foreigners who drank Moutai, our country's top-quality wine, said that it was just average and that they did not like it. For this reason, in order to expand the overseas market, Moutai sold it at a very low price in later generations, which caused controversy among the people.

Li Youde took a bite of beef and asked Zhou Yimin: "Yimin, do you have any ideas for a new song?"

In his opinion, composing a new song is a thankless task. You don't sing it yourself, so if you compose a good song, someone else will take the limelight. If you compose a bad song, someone might even blame you.

"It's a bit of a clue."

Yes! Hearing this, Li Youde was convinced. From childhood to adulthood, they have been suppressed by Zhou Yimin.

I have never seen Zhou Yimin show this kind of talent before! I have even rarely heard Zhou Yimin sing. I didn't expect that he would be such a great singer the first time he performed.

"Sing a few lines for me." Luo Dapeng encouraged while eating and drinking.

Zhou Yimin knew that these two childhood friends were afraid that his work would not be good and he would lose face.

He smiled and said, "Then listen carefully and sing a few lines."

Luo Dapeng and Li Youde both stopped eating and drinking, looked at Zhou Yimin with their ears pricked up.

"We are the successors of communism
Inherit the glorious traditions of our revolutionary predecessors."

Zhou Yimin still remembers the melody and lyrics of this song.

After hearing this, Luo Dapeng and Li Youde's eyes widened.
