A day ago, Tsing Yi was still worried about the lack of alcohol in the inn, but at this moment, she began to feel troubled by the fact that there were too many drinks.
The guests don't care if Tsing Yi and the others are troubled, they have wine and meat to enjoy, and the guys who entertain them are all beauties, they can't be more happy.
In the past, the water in the inn was basically from the well at the back door. Now all the water in the well has become wine, not to mention washing and cooking, and even drinking water is a problem.
There are more than these that make Tsing Yi suspenseful.
Because the commotion of the wine brewer yesterday was too great, she forgot about Wang Decai and his companion, who was almost a wine barrel. At this moment, she was twisting her handkerchief and hesitating whether to take the rest of the water in the water tank for washing or keep it for emergencies, when Wang Decai dragged Lin Xuyan, who had recovered his physical appearance, and rushed to her.
Tsing Yi looked at the panting Wang Decai with a little surprise, and then looked at Lin Xuyan, who had changed a lot, and only after half a sound did he realize that this was yesterday's stupid fat man.
"Little lady in Tsing Yi, it's too bad!" Wang Decai was like a man in Tsing Yi, and he ran to ask for help as soon as something happened, "Yesterday, because that monster suddenly appeared, Leader Lin cut off the clear water for a while. Although I later rushed to find a bucket to refill the water, his condition got worse and worse. It turned out that he could already speak in an orderly manner, but who knew that in the middle of the night, he couldn't even speak! He didn't respond to anything I asked! So as soon as the inn opens, I'll bring him to you, what can I do? Can you ask youkai-sama to help us take a look at it again? β
"Where's the East Bridge?" Tsing Yi's first reaction was to ask about the situation in Dongqiao, and when she saw Wang Decai shaking her head vigorously and saying that she didn't know, she frowned and looked at Lin Xuyan's face seriously.
Lin Xuyan has an extremely healthy physique, he was originally a military general who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, even if he has now retreated to the second line and become a guard sent by Jiao Niang, but in Tsing Yi's opinion, he still has a lingering feeling of a military general. Especially when she saw the scar that crossed the side of her face, she couldn't help but imagine the scene when he fought the enemy.
However, it is such a body covered with medals, but it has a pair of eyes full of shrunken looks. Whenever Tsing Yi tried to look him in the eye, he would turn his head away in panic.
"How long did you let him soak him?" Tsing Yi vaguely guessed the reason, but for the sake of insurance, he still asked Wang Decai to confirm.
ββ¦β¦ About ugly time? Wrong...... It seems to be Yinshi? I...... I don't remember exactly, but then I was so tired that I accidentally fell asleep, and when I woke up, I found him soaked in the drunken tank without saying a word. Wang Decai replied with a sad face, "The guy who guards us is another tree that can't speak, and he doesn't care about anything but guarding...... I really don't know what to do! β
Tsing Yi sighed secretly, and his heart was indeed like this. Wang Decai didn't find that the well water had been made into wine, and he kept fetching water for Lin Xuyan there, so that Lin Xuyan, who was originally half better, made the wine soak bad.
"East Bridge-East Bridge-" Tsing Yi immediately began to look for East Bridge.
"Does the little lady need me to do anything when she looks for me?" Dongqiao appeared almost in response, he rolled up his sleeves, and a half-wet hand towel on his bare arm, apparently in a hurry.
Tsing Yi went straight to the point and ordered: "Can you quickly see if this person can be saved?" He had been soaking in the drink for a long time last night. If he is saved, save him, and if he is not saved......"
Dongqiao saw Tsing Yi's hesitation, so he said intimately: "Little lady, this person was saved before, but now he is not saved." β
Wang Decai was a little stunned when he heard this, he looked at Tsing Yi at a loss, looking at that look, he still vaguely had the meaning of calling Tsing Yi to save his life.
Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, then you can go and get busy with you." β
Dongqiao nodded respectfully, and before leaving, he did not forget to remind Tsing Yi and said: "Little lady, the wine I brewed has been out of the cellar, and please be sure to taste it." β
Tsing Yi nodded slightly, and was about to continue cooking, but was a little embarrassed by Baba looking at his Wang Decai.
"You just heard it, this person is hopeless, and he will probably be so stupid in this life." Reluctantly put down the work in her hand, she persuaded Wang to get rich very seriously, "Since the matter is over, it is only right for you to send him home to see his family for the last time." Also, did you know that your brother was here a while ago? β
"AndβI don't knowβ" asked Wang Decai, stammering a little, "bless himβis he all right?" β
"He's lucky, and this time he's gone with all his hands." Tsing Yi glanced at Wang Decai expressionlessly, and said truthfully, "The two of you brothers are far from each other, if you have the heart to find him, why don't you change some money to go to the Santu River." β
"No need...... Wang Decai lowered his head and rubbed his nose, and said very depressedly, "My big brother...... I don't have the face to see him, if only he could treat me as if I were dead......"
With that, he shook his shoulders again, as if he were holding back tears.
Tsing Yi picked up a knife and cut the vegetables as if he hadn't seen it.
After about a cup of tea, Wang Decai finally cheered up again, he pulled the heartless Lin Xuyan, bowed silently to the busy Tsing Yi, and then left quietly.
It was Hei Saburo who settled the bill for them, and when Wang Decai carefully handed him the money, he only raised his chin slightly, signaling that the ferry money had been placed on the counter.
Wang Decai dared to argue with Hei Saburo, and immediately touched the copper plate and left. When I was about to go out, I happened to pass by an imposing guest.
Hei Saburo was still happy that Wang Decai was gone, but he didn't think that a nasty mortal had left, and then there was a monster like a star.
When the gluttonous sat down and began to ask for wine and cooking, he secretly cut it, and then moved his feet, but he fled towards the kitchen.
At this time, Tsing Yi had just made a few dishes, and was about to serve them out, when he saw Hei Saburo come in with an unhappy face.
"Don't go out, that fussy glutton. I'll serve him these dishes first, and when the drinks are ready, I'll go to the warehouse and bring them up in a moment. Hei Saburo said as he took the dish in Tsing Yi's hand and said, "After I send him away, I'll come back to you." β
"Good ......" Tsing Yi watched Hei Saburo go out to deal with gluttony, leaving her alone in the kitchen to wait.
Gluttony is certainly not an easy guy to deal with, but Kurosaburo's temper is not small. After a while, Tsing Yi could faintly hear the voice of gluttony complaining.
Tsing Yi unconsciously turned around a few times, and accidentally saw the wooden barrel in the corner, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward to take a closer look.
This wooden barrel is filled with the jade ice roast made by Dongqiao in just one day, which is strange to say, but it is only two days of work, and the wine here is like a wine that has been fermented and aged for several months, and Tsing Yi can smell the rich aroma of wine through the sealed lid of the barrel.
This wine is already ready to drink.
Thinking like this, she moved her hand, but she removed the lid of the bucket in one go.
As soon as the wooden lid is opened, a richer and more mellow aroma of wine suddenly hits the nose. Tsing Yi, who didn't have time to cover his mouth and nose, smoked the wine, and became top-heavy.
"Hmph, what does it smell like? Good wine--so fragrant--" Master Gao, who was already drunk and unconscious, was hooked by the aroma of the wine, and woke up, he staggered to the barrel, leaned over the barrel and began to drink. Because his movements were so violent, he almost missed knocking over the barrel.
Tsing Yi on the side was hit by Master Gao's arm, and he came to his senses in an instant. She shook her head, and was stunned at Master Gao, who was half-planted in the barrel and sucked the drink.
"Tut-tut, smelling the taste, this wine should be good, it's a pity." Tsing Yi sighed, she couldn't bear to look at Master Gao's bad appearance anymore, and immediately turned around and couldn't see it.
Except for the sound of Master Gao like a pig, there was no other sound in the kitchen. Tsing Yi listened patiently for a while, but he didn't see Master Gao stop, and finally turned around a little helplessly and picked up the lid of the wooden barrel, and directly covered Master Gao, who was half buried in the barrel.
With the wooden lid as a barrier, she felt better.
Who knew that she was relieved and turned around, and saw Dongqiao standing there silently with a wine glass.
He bowed his head slightly, his back slightly curled, and he didn't know how long he had been standing.
Tsing Yi was almost frightened, she reached out to cover her heart, and it took a long time before she was able to speak: "...... What's the matter? β
"Little lady." Dongqiao raised his hand steadily, and sent the wine glass in his hand to Tsing Yi, "This is the jade ice roast I specially brewed for the little lady, and I also ask the little lady to taste it, if it is not in line with the taste of the little lady, I will improve it again." β
"Oh, wine." Tsing Yi has not forgotten the matter of jì wine tasting, besides, even if she accidentally forgets it, Dongqiao will remind her from time to time that she can't forget it. Inevitably, Dongqiao urged, and she was not hypocritical, so she took the wine glass and drank it.
Tsing Yi had never drunk jade ice roast before, and after taking this mouthful, I only felt that the entrance was mellow, and the aftertaste was sweet and refreshing, which was very delicious.
"Well, that's good." She subconsciously praised it, and then remembered the question that she hadn't answered for a long time, so she restrained her expression and looked at Dongqiao Dao very seriously, "Such a mellow wine, it doesn't look like it can be brewed in a day or two, what home remedies did you use?" β
"Yes." Dongqiao didn't hide it, and made his debut directly, "This home remedy was obtained by my master from a monster, and the little lady also knows that monster, which is the wine brewer who sent wine yesterday." β
ββ¦β¦ Seriously? Tsing Yi continued incredulously, "Don't coax me, right? β
"How dare I coax the little lady." Dongqiao lowered his body more and more and said respectfully, "It is indeed the wine recipe of the sake brewer, and it was he who personally handed it to us as a thank you gift for asking for directions." Otherwise, how could I have made wine so quickly? β
Tsing Yi thought for a moment that it was indeed very possible, and then said, "The wine tastes very good, and it can be served out for guests." β
Dongqiao shook his head and excused himself: "This wine is specially made by me for the little lady, so let's keep the little lady and use it slowly." Now there is plenty of wine in the inn, and the guests can drink as much as they want, and there is no shortage of the barrel I brewed. Please also ask the little lady not to trample on the loyalty of our servants. β
"Uh......" Tsing Yi was a little speechless by Dongqiao's words, she didn't know that Dongqiao was also so sharp-tongued.
"The little lady doesn't want to think about it, but she still dislikes that the wine is not good enough. In that case, I'm going to brew another barrel, right? Seeing Tsing Yi's hesitation, Dongqiao raised his head and said a little discouraged, "Ah Lang sent me here to serve the little lady, if I can't serve the little lady thoroughly, Ah Lang will definitely punish ......me heavily in the future."
"I see, I don't need to say more." Tsing Yi sighed faintly, in the end, it was just a barrel of wine, she didn't want to drink it, so it wouldn't be in the way if she left it like that, "Now you go outside and take a look, see if the gluttony is gone." β
"Yes." Dongqiao, who got his wish, was not overjoyed, he still saluted Tsing Yi respectfully with Zhang Zhonghou's honest face, and then got up and went to the lobby.
The wine that had just entered his throat still had a sweet taste lingering in his mouth, Tsing Yi unconsciously smashed his mouth, and lowered his head to the empty wine glass in his hand silently.
It is indeed a very appetizing wine, and a glass of it makes her vaguely urge to drink another glass. Perhaps, she could have a drink once in a while.
