C453 There Is a Ghost in Wine
Gao Fei understood very well. He knew that Shen Yinbing did so to tactfully tell him that she wanted to find a sense of security from him.
At the same time, Director Shen's words dispelled any thoughts that he had of attacking her. She only indifferently nodded her head and looked towards Mrs. Bai Ci.
Just like last night, Mrs. Bai Ci was still wrapped in black.
The black dress, the black hat, the black veil hanging from the brim, and the black light gave her the illusion that she might be a ghost.
However, her hands, which had been placed on the table, were dazzling white in the dark. They were like two pieces of porcelain, flashing with a strange light under the candlelight.
Actually, not to mention Shen Yinbing, as long as she was a normal person, she wouldn't want to eat in this kind of environment.
When Gao Fei slowly retracted his gaze, Mrs. Bai Ci spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you may not be used to this kind of dining environment, but ever since my husband died, I feel that only in this atmosphere can you feel his existence. Please forgive this strange environment that a woman who has lost her husband has purposely created.
Liu Xiaoloong rubbed his numb scalp and said with an understanding look: "Boss Bai, saying this is like seeing an outsider. I feel that the atmosphere in this kind of environment is pretty good. At least I feel cool inside."
Lily didn't say anything more, just lifted her Bai Ci palms and patted them a few times.
Immediately, a door soundlessly opened in the south wall. Four girls dressed in ancient clothing, each holding a silver plate, walked over with small steps, as if they were riding on the wind.
When they were in the hall below, Liu Xiaoloong admired these old-fashioned maids and felt that they were all beauties. If he switched to a bikini and hugged them from left to right, he would definitely feel very good.
But now, when he looked at these maids, he felt that their expressions were old-fashioned and their eyes were dull, just like those female ghosts from hell. They might be able to spit out a long red tongue when they opened their mouth.
On each silver tray, there were three small black jars and a white soup plate.
There was a lid on both the pot and the soup plate so that no one could see what delicacies were inside.
After arranging the silver plates for the four of them, a maid took out a large glass bottle from under the table. She opened the bottle and carefully poured the liquid into the goblets in front of them.
This should be red wine, except the bottle was a little too big.
The earthy black porcelain jar was matched with a glass goblet. The dark red liquid within lightly swayed like fresh blood, causing one to feel that it was a bit out of place.
Without waiting for Mrs. Bai Ci to say anything, the servant girl who was full of wine quickly walked toward the southern wall. However, the wall closed up in a fraction of a second.
"Everyone."
Mrs. Bai Ci raised her glass and said in a calm voice, "I thought that the domestic customers would make a lot of achievements in this party. In order to encourage everyone, I promised to entertain every single one of them with a hundred million dollars' worth of foreign investment. But unfortunately, my thoughts are very optimistic, but the reality is very cruel. Other than Beishan Group and these two unknown companies, none of the other large enterprises in China have made a decision on the spot. I deeply regret this. I have proven the position of the merchants of the dynasty in international commerce, but no matter what, this result is much better than last year's New York Business Meet. At the very least, you guys have helped me, the host, to save some face.
Gao Fei didn't believe in such a big party. Only he and Shen Yinbing had signed up for a multi-million dollar investment project with foreigners.
However, since Mrs. Bai Ci had already said so, as the guest who was being entertained, he naturally wouldn't pursue the truth of her words. Therefore, he only smiled and picked up his wine cup, clinking it with Mrs. Bai Ci's from a distance.
As soon as the cool liquid came into contact with the tongue tip taste buds, Gao Fei immediately concluded that this was the 82 year old Lafite wine.
Although Mrs. Bai Ci had made the scene look so eerie and eerie, the red wine she took out was actually something good.
He didn't know if it was due to his mentality or something else, but Gao Fei felt that he drank Lafite more than he did in the past.
Just when Gao Fei was savoring Lafite's special fragrance, he felt someone touch his calf. Then he heard Shen Yinbing whisper, "Gao Fei, look carefully at that glass bottle of wine. Why do I feel like there's something inside?"
The glass bottle that had to contain at least three liters of red wine was not far from Gao Fei's right hand.
After listening to Shen Yinbing's words, Gao Fei subconsciously looked up. Sure enough, he saw that there seemed to be something circling at the bottom of the dark red liquid, like a snake. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it clearly.
Using snakes to make wine was a very normal thing. However, Gao Fei had never heard of anyone setting snakes in red wine!
At this moment, Liu Xiaoloong also noticed the abnormality in the bottle. He looked at Mrs. Bai Ci in confusion. He was about to say something, but then he heard her say calmly, "Don't you guys wonder why there's a snake in the red wine?"
There was a snake inside!?
When Shen Yinbing heard this, she felt her stomach churning violently.
Even though snake wine was a great tonic, especially the snake wine that Mrs. Bai Ci used to entertain distinguished guests, most girls were naturally afraid of snakes.
Shen Yinbing wanted to vomit at the thought of how she took a sip of snake wine. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and swore that she would never drink again.
Liu Xiaoloong and Gao Fei looked at each other and did not hold back, "Hehe, Boss Bai, your guesses are really accurate. This is the first time I've heard that red wine can also be used as bait. Is there a story behind this? "
"There's no such thing as a legend. It's just that if you drink this kind of snake bubble wine, it will be of great benefit to you."
Mrs. Bai Ci put down her glass and said, "The snake in the bottle is not an ordinary snake. It's a very rare black snake. This type of snake lives in the cold of day and night in the northwest, and has a very good name, Black Dragon. "
After giving Liu Xiaoloong and the other two incomplete answers, Mrs. Bai Ci stood up and said in an apologetic tone, "Everyone, enjoy yourselves slowly. I have something to do first. I wish you a prosperous business here in advance."
Without waiting for them to say anything, Mrs. Bai Ci slightly nodded her head. She placed both of her hands on her stomach, and like a ghost walking in the candlelight, she gracefully walked to the south wall and entered the small door that appeared again.
She invited us in, drank only one glass of wine, and left just like that?
Looking at Mrs. Bai Ci's back, Gao Fei slowly frowned. His eyes flashed as if he had thought of something.
Shen Yinbing didn't look at Mrs. Bai Ci, but glanced around the room anxiously. The peculiar dining environment, the Black Dragon Snake soaking in the red wine, and the black porcelain jar with the lid still open — all of these gave off an unfathomable eeriness.
Shen Yinbing leaned towards Gao Fei and whispered, "Gao Fei, I think we should go. I feel that there's something wrong with this place."
Looking at Shen Yinbing's trembling voice, Gao Fei asked Liu Xiaoloong, "How much do you know about this Mrs. Bai Ci?"
Liu Xiaoloong smiled bitterly: "I've only heard about it from rumors and I've never gotten to know her well. However, to be able to catch her eyes is a kind of honor." In fact, as you can see, when she appeared last night, besides Nier, only Haolian Yanyue from the Nine Godly Fists was by her side. Even a young genius like Mo Guyan didn't have the qualifications to make her appear alongside her. To be honest, I was rather flattered when I was invited to dinner. "But now, I think we should just listen to Director Shen. Let's go."
"But before I leave, I have to see what delicious things Mrs. Bai Ci has prepared for us."
Liu Xiaoloong opened a black porcelain jar and fished out a pair of ivory chopsticks from within. He picked up a round object and moved it close to the candle and asked in puzzlement, "Eh, what is this thing?"
"Ah!
The one who exclaimed with Liu Xiaoloong was Shen Yinbing, because she saw that the thing that Liu Xiaoloong took out of the black porcelain jar was an eye!
It was an eye the size of a human eye, or rather an eye.
0
Liu Xiaoloong suddenly shook his hand in fright when he saw that he took out an eye from the inside. At the same time that he threw that eye away, his right elbow accidentally touched the other two black porcelain jars.
With a crisp sound, the contents of the jar fell onto the table. Surprisingly, there were some ears, a nose, and even a tongue!
What was inside this black porcelain jar were actually the organs of a human body!
He looked at the table full of eyes and tongue and felt disgusted with Shen Yinbing. He covered his mouth with his left hand and grabbed Gao Fei's hand as he shouted, "Gao Fei, let's go!"
She wanted to use her fastest speed to pull out this strange house.
However, just as she took a step forward, she felt her vision go black, and her consciousness suddenly disappear. Her body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground.
When Shen Yinbing collapsed on the floor, Liu Xiaoloong was already lying on the table.
There was a ghost in the wine!
Seeing that Lily and Alice had fainted, Jack was shocked. He opened his mouth to shout something, but then plopped down on a chair, his face turned up and didn't move at all.
The large room became silent as the three people fainted.
A few minutes later, there was a slight ticking sound.
After being knocked onto the table by Liu Xiaoloong, the thick soup slowly dripped to the edge of the table and dropped drop by drop onto the floor. It could clearly be heard in the quiet room.
As the rich fragrance slowly filled the room, a small door cracked open in the south wall. Mrs. Bai Ci, who had just walked into the room not long ago, slowly walked out.
Mrs. Bai Ci slowly walked to the long table. After looking at the three of them in silence for a few minutes, she walked to the back of Gao Fei's chair.
Mrs. Bai Ci stood there for a while looking at Gao Fei, whose head was resting on the back of the chair without moving. Then she slowly raised her hand and touched Gao Fei's face.
Mrs. Bai Ci's snow-white fingers had already touched Gao Fei's face, but at that moment, Gao Fei, who was already unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes.
Mrs. Bai Ci, who was caught off guard, suddenly froze. She quickly retreated and twisted her waist. Her left leg moved like lightning towards Gao Fei's face.
"Hey!"
Gao Fei growled, grabbed a chair in front of his face.
With a "pa" sound, Mrs. Bai Ci kicked the seemingly sturdy chair to pieces.
