Chapter 174: Everyone Concedes
"Really good at putting on an act, a stinky soldier trying to pose like this, as if he doesn’t know his own limits. You could fool others, but pretending in front of me? Just wait until you can’t differentiate the wines, I’ll see how I mock you."
If it hadn’t been for that sentence from Song Xiaodong just now, Xiao Zhiming would have mocked him right away, but now he could only think about it in his mind.
Song Xiaodong opened his eyes, then said, "Bring me a cup of water."
The waiter hurried to get a cup, Song Xiaodong took a sip of the water to rinse out the taste of wine in his mouth, then picked up the second glass.
When tasting the first glass, everyone hadn’t paid much attention to Song Xiaodong’s drinking posture, but by the second glass, people had started to notice, especially a few women who showed a look of surprise in their eyes.
The households of these women had been wealthy through two or three generations; they had received the best education since childhood and had even been specially trained in etiquette. Those who had just started to become rich had no such education themselves.
"It’s really very elegant; these movements are not something you can just imitate and display at will."
"Absolutely, from what I see, if you weren’t immersed in this kind of atmosphere from childhood, then it must have been some advanced etiquette training and for a not short period of time."
A few women whispered among themselves, and nobody else heard them.
Song Xiaodong tasted each of the six glasses of wine, taking no less than three minutes per glass, adding up to almost twenty minutes. Yet, even though so much time had passed, not even Xiao Zhiming and the others seemed impatient, and Miao Qingqing felt like she was watching a special performance, pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the spirit.
