Chapter 18: Spirits
"Miss, are you going out to the port today?" I regretted that I changed into an ordinary dress for my young lady, and I couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved on my face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoRecently, Miss has been going out every day, and she only takes Asayu out, and she always leaves herself in the yard to watch the house.
I know that I have a more wooden temperament, a stupid mouth, and can't speak. It's really not as spicy and bold and sweetest as Qianyu, and in addition to taking care of Miss's food and clothing properly, he can't help Miss when he goes out. However, after all, it is the love of growing up together for more than ten years, and seeing that the young lady treats herself differently from Qianyu, she has some grievances in her heart.
"Well, I'm going to the port today." It's not that Wang Jiqing doesn't know the heart of her personal maid, but there are some words that come out of her mouth, but they will make this timid girl drill the tip of the horns. Let Mother Wan persuade her.
"Miss, Yang Lie outside the gate has already led people to wait in front of the carriage." Asayu lifted the curtain from the outside and walked in. Quanzhou in July was already very hot, and the little girl was in a hurry, and there were already faint traces of sweat on the little girl's face.
"Well, let's go."
Here, Wang Jiqing just took Qianyu out, and the mother of Wan sat down with a little regret.
"Mom is looking for me, but what's the matter?" Shallow regret said a little crampedly.
"Miss saw that you have been distracted a lot these days, so let me persuade you, this girl." Mother Wan lovingly pressed her hands that were a little uneasy.
"Ah," thought she was hiding it well, but it turned out that the young lady knew about it.
"Silly girl, you and Qianyu have both served Miss since they were children, don't you know our Miss, that is the most exquisite person." Mother Wan smiled, "You feel uncomfortable in your heart, how can you not know that our young lady is such a smart person." ”
Yes, my own young lady has been very smart since she was a child, and even Mrs. Xie has praised her, and her young lady has been a little more thoughtful than those old ladies in the inner house who have lived for a long time.
"It's a pity, you have to understand that Miss doesn't take you out, not because she alienates you, but because she trusts you. You have to know that the role of everyone around Miss is different. Wan's mother Zhengse said, "Qianyu has a pungent temperament, and she is bold and sweet, and she has been a self-cooked character since she was a child." The young lady is out of the house, and if she wants to inquire about something, it is more convenient to take her with her. ”
"It's useless to blame the shallow, and I can't help the young lady outside." The little girl's voice was obviously full of glutinous crying.
"What girl, why don't you understand, although you are not as bold as Qianyu, but you are more cautious and careful enough, so Miss is relieved to let you stay at home to take care of her personal chores, Miss left you to take care of the house, it is to trust you."
"You and Qianyu are two people, one is inside and the other is outside, and neither of them can be separated by Miss's side."
Is that so? It turns out that I can help Miss myself? Qian Xi looked up at Mother Wan.
"Good boy, think about it yourself, is this the truth?" After Mother Wan finished speaking, she got up and left, leaving a thoughtful pity.
Miss is right, there are some things that you have to think about yourself after all.

"Miss, this port seems to be very lively today." Qianyu looked at the endless flow of people around her, "It seems that there are many more merchants coming and going today than in the past few days. ”
Wang Ji looked at the crowded crowd in front of her, and it seemed that she would not be able to walk to the dock in front of her for a while.
"Qianyu, you go to the front and inquire," Wang Ji glanced at a liquor shop called cyclamen behind her. "You'll come to this liquor store in a moment."
"Yes."
Yang Lie sent Ding Erniu to follow Qianyu to the front to inquire about the news, and he took the rest of the guards to follow Wang Jiqing into the wine shop next to him.
It was still early, and there were not many guests in the wine shop, so they only sat down at two tables, and Wang Jiqing and his party found a secluded corner and sat down.
The proprietress of the cyclamen is a middle-aged woman with a lot of charm, she saw that although the little girl who just entered the door was not very old and dressed in general, she was extraordinary, and she had a sharp momentum.
"I don't know, miss, what kind of wine do you want?" The proprietress of the wine shop waved her hand away, and personally came forward to greet the distinguished guests.
"Go to your most expensive bar." Walking to this small wine shop, Wang Ji easily remembered that he had borrowed spirits from Yang Lie once.
When he was still in the Eagle Temple, in order to heal Li Yuanche's injuries, he borrowed Yang Lie's private wine for disinfection, and he promised to return Yang Lie a pot of the strongest wine. I happened to come to this small wine shop today, so I ordered the strongest liquor here.
"Miss, you really have a vision. The slave family happens to have liquor that has just been brought from the Great Food Country. After saying that, he brought the wine himself. Seeing that the distinguished guest no longer asked, the proprietress dismissed.
"Brother Yang, you can also sit down and taste the spirits of this great food country." Wang Ji remembered the past, so she asked Yang Lie and the others to sit down, "Let's see if it's worth the liquor I borrowed from the Vulture Temple." ”
When Yang Lie heard this, he also remembered that the young lady in the Vulture Temple had brought him a pot of spirits. He laughed a few times, poured himself another bowl of wine, and tasted it himself.
"That's enough to taste, everyone can try it." The spirits of this big food country are indeed good, and they are even stronger than the wine they had collected privately. He beckoned his brothers to try it together.
Yang Lie only drank one bowl and put it down. Now that he has the responsibility of protecting the young lady, he must not drink too much, so as not to get drunk and make mistakes.
Wang Ji saw that Yang Lie and the others were full of praise for this wine, and she also poured a small glass and tasted it lightly.
Well? This wine seems to be like this, the taste is very ordinary, where can it be called a spirit? Compared to the high-concentration liquor in his memory, the spirits of this rumored Great Food Country are almost the same as the alcoholic drinks he drank in his previous life.
Wang Ji thought about it lightly and understood. It turns out that there has not been distilled liquor in this time and space, and everyone generally drinks rice wine that is directly fermented from grain, and it is no wonder that this kind of liquor with ordinary taste is also praised by Yang Lie and others, and is called a spirit.
Wang Ji thought about it lightly, it was inevitable that he would pick up the scalpel again in the future, so it was also necessary to make some high-concentration spirits for backup. Thinking of this, he asked the proprietress to prepare another 500 catties of spirits for distillation and purification.
"Miss, my subordinates don't need so much. It is enough to buy one or two jars. Yang Lie thought that this wine was bought by Wang Jiqing for his brother and others, thinking that this big food liquor was not cheap, and it was really a waste of money for the young lady to buy so much, so he stopped.
"Brother Yang misunderstood, I have a lot of use for this wine." Wang Xiqing didn't open her mouth to explain, and it was not too late to say that she would make distilled liquor in the future.
After a while, Asayu brought back the news. It turned out that there was a fleet of ships coming from the west of the Great Eclipse in the past two days, and the merchants who came and went from the south to the north got the news, and they all rushed to the dock in advance, waiting to compete for the goods on board.
I see, the world is bustling for profit! Looking at the crowd outside the window that kept pouring into the dock, and looking up at the rising sun, Wang Jiqing really couldn't squeeze out a sweat with others, so he let people bring spirits and returned to the Wang family's courtyard.
