071: Be wary
Meng Youcai returned to the aroma of wine in this way, and he still lived like a transparent person every day. But partially, Meng Youcai himself still feels that he is very satisfied with this kind of life.
Jiuniang was still thinking that the beer could be brewed and shock the entire brewing market, but the green jade porcelain bottle was broken, and she could only rely on the traditional fermentation mode, and the waiting time was extremely long.
After the fragrance of the wine stabilized for two days, Jiang Nu took Jiu Niang's hand and smiled flatteringly, saying that she was going to help Jiu Niang get more hops and excuses to find Mo Nansheng.
Jiuniang sighed and looked at the medicine box next to the wine pool full of chopped snake twist flowers, and rubbed her forehead.
And Fuso hasn't seen much these days.
When asked about Gu Huacheng, Gu Huacheng also looked unfathomable, and he didn't know what these people were plotting.
When Hu Die came to find Jiuniang, he couldn't help but pout when he saw their strange way of getting along: "Meng Chuntao really went back?" ”
"Yes." Jiuniang nodded, glanced at Hu Die, and asked, "How are you now?" ”
"What do I have? Isn't it all like this? Hu Die smiled, with a slight loneliness in his eyes.
Jiuniang sighed: "Hu Die, tell me about it, Lu Hengzhi really didn't look for you again?" ”
"What do you think I'm not coming to you for? It's not that I'm avoiding him......" Hu Die smiled and shook his head, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about you." How's your wine going? ”
Jiuniang spread her hands: "Well, it hasn't been fermented yet, who knows what the taste will be, wait for this jar to come out, and then you can know if it's successful." ”
"That blue jade porcelain vase ......"
As soon as Hu Die spoke, he was interrupted by Jiu Niang: "It's broken." ”
"What?" Hu Die's face was incredulous.
Jiuniang sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Maybe it's all fate, but that Chen Wang Ye said." Although the mouth of this bottle was broken, the belly of the bottle was intact, and the secret of this bottle should also be in the belly of this bottle, maybe this time it can solve this problem. ”
Hu Die frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean that the bottle has been sent to Lord Chen now?" Seeing Jiuniang nodded, Hu Die sighed again, "It's also haode, there are a lot of kitkat craftsmen who specialize in brewing wine vessels in the palace of King Chen, you can rest assured." ”
"What if you're not at ease now?" Jiuniang tugged at the corners of her mouth, got up and patted the weeds on her skirt. Pulled Jiuniang to his room.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of Jiuniang's house, they saw the sneaky Meng Youcai standing in front of Jiuniang's door, looking around.
"Meng Youcai." Jiu Niang shouted Meng Youcai with a normal face.
But Meng Youcai was so frightened that he shuddered, patted his chest and turned around, Meng Youcai looked at Jiu Niang, and his eyes were wandering: "Ouch, second sister, why are you so shocked, but it scares me." ”
"You're the one who was surprised, right?" Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, looked Meng Youcai up and down, and sneered. "What do you want to find in my room?"
"Naturally, I'm looking for the second sister." Meng Youcai's answer was fluent.
Jiu Niang continued to sneer: "Don't you know that I will be guarding by the wine pool at this time?" Even if you don't look at the newly brewed wine, it's an old recipe like bamboo leaf green, when did you see me still sleeping in the house with my head covered at this time? If I were to do anything in the house, the door would be open. With the door closed, you don't have the slightest intention of knocking. Meng Youcai, don't you think it makes sense yourself? ”
Meng Youcai blushed a little, and glanced at Jiu Niang a few more times. Some reluctantly walked away.
As soon as Meng Youcai left, Hu Die snorted coldly: "Hua'er, you can keep him, in fact, I didn't think about it at all." ”
"I just feel sorry for him when I keep him." Jiu Niang glanced at Meng Youcai's back. led Hu Die into the door.
Entering the door, Jiu Niang looked at the two boxes next to her bed and was slightly stunned for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to rummage the contents of the boxes.
Hu Die also followed, looked at Jiu Niang with some doubts, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I just feel a little uneasy when I see Meng Youcai like this today." As she spoke, Jiu Niang reached out and took out the items under the box.
One is a bracelet wrapped in moon-white silk, which Gu Hua bought and gave to himself when he had his first birthday in Yecheng. It's been carefully selected for a long time, but when I send it over, it's as if it fell at my feet and picked it up. The other thing is a purse. The monthly money I have saved over the years, although it is not much, is enough to have fifty or sixty taels.
Jiu Niang took these things around the room, and suddenly stared at Hu Die and didn't move.
Hu Die was a little uncomfortable when Jiu Niang looked at her, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you looking at me like this?" ”
"Hu Die, you can help me keep it." Jiuniang smiled at Hu Die, looking pleading.
Hu Die frowned: "As for it?" His own brother is still like a thief. ”
"Brother? Hu Die, do you think he thinks of himself as my own brother? Jiuniang tilted her head, and suddenly became very curious. In fact, for so many years, Jiuniang has never known how the so-called brothers and sisters should get along. If she and Meng Chuntao and Meng Youcai are really counted, they should be regarded as sisters and brothers. But when they were young, Meng Xiahua and Meng Chuntao just didn't like each other, except for bullying Meng Xiahua, Meng Chuntao didn't have the so-called intimacy at all, and at that time, Meng Xiahua was just Hu Die. And Meng Youcai is so young that even being able to remember Meng Xiahua is something that he doesn't dare to force.
The so-called family affection, in the eyes of Jiu Niang, is actually much weaker.
There are many things that she has thought about guarding and protecting well, but she is partial, and there are too many difficult things to cross in her heart, and she has never been able to forgive the sticks that fell on her body and the pain that burned into her heart.
Hu Die sighed with some self-reproach, and pulled Jiu Niang's hand: "You don't have to remember what has passed, now that Meng Youcai lives here, what are you going to do?" ”
"It's best to have self-awareness like Meng Chuntao and take the initiative to go back, if he doesn't want to go back, I can't beat him back with a stick. Master just said the other day that he couldn't eat rice here, but I didn't see him do any work. Jiu Niang spread her hands a little helplessly, "Now, it's just a step at a time." ”
Hu Die nodded, and winked at Jiu Niang again: "I heard that many foreign merchants are ready to withdraw today, why don't you go to see me?" ”
"Why aren't you worried about running into your Lu Hengzhi Lu Gongzi at this time?" Jiuniang made fun of Hu Die.
Hu Die just glared at Jiuniang with some disgust, and said with a slight sigh: "He, he comes here once a year, staying for two days each time, and now I'm afraid that he has already returned home and become his idle and wealthy uncle." ”
Jiuniang still saw a little loneliness from Hu Die's hidden smile, closed her mouth, didn't say anything, just went to the side to change her shirt, and agreed to go out with Hu Die to see the closing of this grand event.
Hu Da's Hu Luo wine stall was still there and had not been removed, Jiu Niang glanced at Hu Die, then stepped forward to say hello to Hu Da and asked for a pot of Hu Luo wine.
Hu Da squinted his eyes and looked at Jiu Niang for a while, and finally remembered who this was, smiled, and went to send a pot of wine to Jiu Niang's table, but he was not in a hurry to leave.
Jiuniang glanced at Hu Da with some surprise, and asked with a smile: "Is the boss still in trouble?" ”
"Miss Jiuniang still dares to come to me to drink." Hu Daxiao smiled.
Jiuniang was stunned, "You...... Recognize me? ”
"Yes." Hu Daxiao paused for a moment and sat down, "It is said that I know that you are a disciple of Mr. Gu, and this pot of wine will not be given to you to drink again anyway, but after all, the girl helped me and let me meet Mr. Gu." ”
"Didn't you go to learn from my master? Why didn't I find any signs of what you had learned when I went back that day? What is Boss Hu for, Jiuniang doesn't want to ask anymore. It's just that Mr. Hu didn't finish what you originally wanted to accomplish, so I just went back......"
"Naturally, he is unwilling." Hu Da interrupted Jiu Niang's words and shook his fist with some emotion.
Jiuniang sneered: "I didn't think to ask Boss Hu if he was willing." ”
Hu Da couldn't help but glance at Jiu Niang a few more times curiously, and an unpredictable smile rose at the corner of his mouth: "So what did Miss Jiu Niang originally want to say?" ”
"I just think that if Boss Hu really leaves like this, he must have a little resentment against us in his heart, and what will he do to us, I'm afraid it's hard to say, right?" Jiuniang opened the wine, poured herself a glass, and asked Hu Die: "Are you coming?" ”
"Come out for a drink, you can fill me up, and asking me if I want it will inevitably make you look a lot stingy." Hu Die glared at Jiu Niang, although he still had some doubts, he didn't dismantle Jiu Niang.
Hu Da was stunned by Jiu Niang's appearance, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for a while.
Jiuniang slowly finished drinking a glass of wine, slowly and methodically filled herself and Hu Die again, and handed the empty wine jug to Hu Da in a slow manner.
Hu Da took it a little hesitantly.
Jiuniang smiled: "But four glasses of wine, Boss Hu's wine jug is already empty." ”
"......" Hu Da was still silent.
Jiuniang no longer circled with Hu Da: "I personally have a personal opinion on the art of winemaking, and I think Master and Boss Hu are both principled people on such matters, so there shouldn't be too much disagreement on this issue." It's just that Boss Hu really cares about the preferences of the Beihu people? Didn't Boss Hu feel that he was going in the wrong direction? ”
"Wrong? What do you mean? I don't study the preferences of the Beihu people, do I still have to study the preferences of your Yecheng people? Hu Da frowned.
Jiu Niang smiled and raised her hand to cover her lips: "If you want to study the preferences of our Yecheng people, Boss Hu must have that ability first." (To be continued......)
