Chapter 451: Buying Wine
Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian rushed to the door of the White Mansion, and the people waiting outside the door knew that they were the distinguished guests of the mansion, so they let the two into the mansion without saying a word. The subordinate led the two to the living room, and Zhong Jialei said as he walked: "Bai Gongzi, Yi Shaoxia, Jing Shaoxia, are they back?"
Xia said: "Not yet, I heard that I was playing in Yipin Villa, and I guess I should come back in the next day or two." ”
Zhong Jialei said: "Has there been any major incident in the city recently, and why can a large number of warriors be seen everywhere in the city?"
Xia said: "It is said to be the order of the city lord of Xuanyuan, and it is rumored that the city lord's temperament has changed greatly recently, so the situation in the city has changed sharply, and the specific reason is unknown." ”
While speaking, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian came to the hall to sit down, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll invite the master." He turned away.
After only a moment, Bai He walked into the hall with a smile on his face, and when he saw Bai He appearing, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian got up to greet each other, Bai He waved his hand and motioned for the two to sit down and said, "Sit and sit, there is no need to be polite between us." ”
The three of them sat down, and Bai He said, "Last time, you two bought a lot of seeds and seedlings from the city, and now they are all planted?"
Zhong Jialei said: "Last time, thanks to the help of Master Bai, those things that should be planted should be buried in the soil, everything is done, I believe it won't be long before the harvest can be seen." ”
Bai He said: "Okay, don't forget to bring some to me and your aunt when the harvest comes." ”
Zhong Jialei said: "Of course, when the time comes, I will definitely bring the best and freshest to Uncle Bai and Aunt Bai to taste." ”
The two laughed a few words, and the topic turned to the sharply changing situation in the city, Zhong Jialei said: "Uncle Bai, the sudden change in the situation in the city is said to be due to the Xuanyuan City Lord, I don't know if it's true?"
Bai He's face changed slightly: "Now the people in the city are saying so, this matter came too suddenly, no one expected it, the city lord of Xuanyuan has always been mysterious, it is not easy to confirm the rumors, the day before yesterday, the Di shopkeeper of "Qunfangfang" also came to the house to find me, saying that it was Murong Ling'er, the flower in her workshop, who had not returned for a long time since she was called into the city lord's palace, and she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. ”
Speaking of Di Shanhong and Murong Ling'er, it can be regarded as a favor to Zhong Jialei, Yi Qingfeng, and Jingyang, when they first came to Mingcheng to borrow troops, they had no way to take refuge, and later they found Di Shanhong to help under the matchmaking of Baiyun Peak, and entered the palace to see Xuanyuan Feng with the power of Murong Ling'er, and finally borrowed soldiers and horses to kill and look back at Xicheng.
Now that he heard that Murong Ling'er was in trouble, Zhong Jialei was willing to sit idly by, he said: "Uncle Bai, Di Shopkeeper and Ling'er girl are kind to us, I was fortunate to have their help at the beginning, I and Qingfeng and Jingyang can meet the Xuanyuan City Lord, now they are in trouble, I will definitely help them, I believe that Qingfeng and Jingyang they know that they will do the same, I don't know if there is news about them in the near future?"
Bai He said: "You have this very good heart, Di shopkeeper and I are also old acquaintances, and I saw her in a hurry that day, and I didn't feel good about it." Fortunately, Yunfeng, Jingyang, and Qingfeng are coming back soon, and with your help at that time, I believe that they can help Di's shopkeeper tide over the difficulties. ”
Hearing that Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, and Baiyunfeng were on their way home, Zhong Jialei was very happy in his heart, and he smiled: "They are finally willing to come back, it seems that Yipin Villa is indeed a good place to go, and they can stay for a lot of days on this trip." ”
Bai He said: "I heard that it is a tour of the mountains and rivers, and the scenery near Yipin Villa is beautiful, and they will inevitably have to visit it when they first go, which is understandable." By the way, what happened to you and Iron Arm going down the mountain this time?"
Zhong Jialei said: "It's nothing important, just because the wine in the village is gone, you also know that several of us are good wine people, if you don't drink so many sips at a time, you won't feel comfortable, so don't hurry down the mountain and buy some back." ”
Bai He said: "Human nature can be understood, this will be too early, why don't you go buy wine first, and then come back when you finish buying, I have ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and you will accompany me to have a good drink." ”
Zhong Jialei said: "Then we might as well be respectful." With that, he got up and left. The two walked around the city looking for a place to sell wine, and Zhong Jialei said, "Iron Arm, do you remember the shop where we bought wine when we came back?"
Iron Arm shook his head and said: "I don't remember, I am not familiar with the road in the city, and my memory is poor, I followed you when I came back, where do I remember what road." ”
Zhong Jialei sighed: "It's troublesome, I forgot the shop where I bought wine last time." ”
Tie Jian said: "There are so many shops selling wine in the city, why do you have to go to the shop last time to buy it?"
Zhong Jialei said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are right, I am really dizzy, I see that there is a restaurant not far ahead, let's go there and have a look, maybe we can buy better wine than last time." As he spoke, the two of them stepped forward quickly.
The wine sold in the restaurant is very delicious, more than the wine bought last time, Zhong Jialei was overjoyed, and secretly sighed that he was lucky, when he came, the rat king specially explained to buy more wine to go back, Zhong Jialei is ready to make a big deal this time, so as not to drink it for a long time like the previous time and have to go down the mountain to run again.
After tasting the quality of the wine, Zhong Jialei said: "Good wine, really good wine, shopkeeper, I want twenty jars." ”
The shopkeeper was taken aback and said, "Guest officer, do you really want twenty altars?" The word "twenty" deliberately increased the volume in his words, obviously a little suspicious. It is normal for the shopkeeper to have this question, you must know that the wine in this jar weighs twenty or thirty catties, and ordinary people can drink one or two jars for a month and a half, and if someone wants to buy twenty jars of wine in one go, it is very rare.
Seeing the shopkeeper's suspicion, Zhong Jialei said: "That's right, it's twenty altars, you let the guy load the wine in the car and send it to Baifu, and the money will be counted to you immediately." ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I'll let the guy prepare wine for the son." As he spoke, he hurried towards the back room.
Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian sat and waited for about a cup of tea, the wooden cart loaded with twenty jars of wine had stopped at the door of the restaurant, and a strong young man stood next to the cart, it seemed that he was the person in charge of delivering the wine to Baifu.
Seeing that all the wine was ready, Zhong Jialei didn't want to delay any longer, he and Tie Jian got up and said, "Let's go, go to Baifu." He said
led the cart boy to Baifu together.
Successfully bought the wine back, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian then had lunch in Baifu, due to the sudden change in the situation in the city, coupled with Murong Ling'er's difficulties, Zhong Jialei planned to stay in Baifu and wait for Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, Bai Yunfeng to come back, and discuss strategies with them, for this purpose, the task of sending the wine back to the cottage was handed over to Tie Arm alone, and Tie Arm was not ambiguous, and hired a carriage to return to the cottage with twenty jars of wine in the afternoon.
