But today, Boss Xiao, who saw Xiaochao drinking so heavily for the first time, discovered another advantage in him - this young man didn't seem to be drunk.

This advantage may not be considered an advantage for Xiao Chao, because not being drunk means that he can't limit the amount of alcohol he can drink, but for Boss Xiao, his specialty is very likely to bring profits to the wine shop.

Xiao Chao seems to have come to buy drunk today, but what makes Boss Xiao feel strange is that he doesn't seem to have any worries that need to use wine to pour out the cold, and the wine money is paid very simply. This also made Boss Xiao choose for a long time on the issue of persuading alcohol or not.

Seeing that the sky outside was all dark, Boss Xiao finally couldn't stand it anymore and walked out from the inside of the wine cabinet.

No matter how much you can drink, even if you don't get drunk, the damage to your body is great. Although Boss Xiao is a businessman, Xiaochao and him have always been only business dealings, but in any case, this shallow friendship has accumulated for several years, and it will also leave something in people's hearts.

Boss Xiao, who walked to the table, said in a harmonious voice: "Xiaochao, let's drink here today, you have already drunk a lot today, and you should go back when the hour is not early." ”

Xiao Chao was squinting to the side, paying attention to the drinkers at the other table who had already drunk but still insisted on pouring himself wine with trembling hands, when he heard Boss Xiao's voice, he turned his head and calmed down before saying, "Boss Xiao, how can I drink as happily as this guest officer?" ”

"He's drunk, he's drunk, he's so drunk, where is he happy?" Boss Xiao smiled and said, "When he gets up tomorrow morning, he will know that the wine is strong!" ”

"Drunk? Oh......" Xiao Chao's face was blank for a moment, and he looked around at the pile of empty wine jars under the table on the table. Immediately, he showed a sudden look, "Boss Xiao, I was wrong just now, what I should ask you is, do you think I drank so much wine, why haven't I been drunk?" ”

Boss Xiao was stunned for a moment,

Then he smiled and said, "Usually when the drinkers who come to me say this, they are drunk cousins." I haven't seen a drunk person take the initiative to admit that they are drunk, the more drunk they are, the more they want to drink! ”

Xiao Chao didn't immediately pick up the conversation, he first raised his hand, spread his five fingers and slowly shook them in front of his eyes, and then he looked at Boss Xiao and said seriously: "That kind of drinker, I also saw a lot of people in your store when I sent firewood...... But I'm not really drunk. Speaking of the second half of the sentence. He also added an emphatic tone.

"Ugh." Boss Xiao sighed. Persuading drunk people to keep their mouths shut is basically predictable for the owner of the liquor store. A drunkard who was in the middle of a drink sat in a room surrounded by alcohol, and all other methods seemed so powerless except to send him home directly. But Boss Xiao didn't know where Xiao Chao lived, and persuaded him to drink out of pity. All that can be done is a few words.

Boss Xiao persuaded a few more words, but the result was still the same, but looking at Xiao Chao who picked up the wine bowl again, he had a strange feeling, Xiao Chao may not be really drunk.

According to Boss Xiao's observation of the drinkers in the store over the years, whether passively or actively, if a person wants to get drunk, the first person to get drunk should be his eyes. However, Xiao Chao's eyes sitting opposite him were still so bright and agile when he looked back at him, except for his somewhat strange behavior and the fact that he liked to watch other drunks drink. There is no astigmatism or sluggishness.

This discovery has to be a little shocking. Xiao Chao's drinking amount for most of the day is not adulterated at all, he comes to drink alone, there is no need to drink and vomit quietly like the people at the banquet, right?

Looking at the wine jar that surrounded Xiaochao and had a total of five or six, Boss Xiao was also confused. Some wondered if they were drunk with alcohol.

Just then, a new customer arrived.

The curtain of the door flickered, and a scribe with a slender figure and a plain shirt and a bookish look on his face in silence walked in. His gaze circled around the restaurant, and finally landed on the table where Boss Xiao was sitting, and at the same time, his gaze almost met Boss Xiao's.

Boss Xiao immediately got up from the bench next to the table and greeted him. As the operator of the liquor store, although he doubted in his heart that the real purpose of this person's arrival might not be to drink, he still quickly and habitually smiled and said, "The guest officer, please sit down first, may I ask what kind of wine do you order?" ”

As a businessman, you must always be aware of one thing, and that is to make money.

It doesn't matter if he drinks or not, he has to pay for the wine, and there are often customers in other people's restaurants who can't eat the food that is poured out, but still pay the bill according to the price!

Boss Xiao quickly made a small calculation in his heart, but the truth was as he initially expected, and the plain-shirted scribe just said with a clear meaning: "Thank you for the hospitality, it's just that it's getting late, and it's not appropriate to drink again." In the next time, I will come to your store to pick up a friend and go back, and if I have the opportunity, I will definitely come with my friend next time to buy drunk. ”

The words are gentle, more than polite, and the slight momentum carried by this scribe is completely different from the usual drinkers here, which makes Boss Xiao, who must encounter the grievances of the guests every day, feel a little flattered, and at the same time there is no reason to object.

Looking at the scribe's eyes when he came in, it seemed that the scribe was coming to pick up Xiaochao, Boss Xiao subconsciously walked away a few steps, but he was still a little suspicious, so he called out: "Xiaochao, your friend is here." ”

If it weren't for the fact that this Sushan scribe seemed to have a mysterious identity, but in general he should be a Sven, Boss Xiao would probably wonder if Xiao Chao was in trouble.

Hearing the innocence of the innkeeper to the young man holding the bowl, the scribe's eyes moved slightly.

Hearing this, Xiao Chao put down the wine bowl, looked at the person standing opposite for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Lin ...... Lin ......"

Maybe he was really drunk, but he seemed quite sober on the outside, but his thinking had begun to slow down, and the word 'Lin' was stuck for a long time, and he didn't say anything else.

"I'm back." The scribe did not hesitate to persuade him, but only said three words, and then walked to the table.

"Oh......" Xiao Chao replied more briefly, and then immediately stood up with great obedience, but when he left the table, his steps finally slipped a little.

Seeing this, the scribe stretched out an arm, "Do you need help?" ”

Xiao Chao didn't even answer this time, he just shook his head, but his shaking looked more like he was sobering himself up.

Taking a big step, Xiaochao walked out of the liquor store first, while the scribe was a few steps behind and said to the owner of the liquor store, "My friend owes money for the wine?" ”

Boss Xiao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's all settled in advance, your friend doesn't seem to be drunk, and his mind has been very clear." ”

"He's going to get drunk, it's just a matter of time before the momentum rises." The scribe smiled. Walking to the wine cabinet, he glanced at the display shelf on the inside of the counter, and then pointed to a pitch-black jar on the shelf, but the bottom and lid were gray-white, and said warmly: "That jar of wine, but a burning knife?" ”

Boss Xiao nodded in surprise: "The guest officer has good eyesight." ”

"I don't have the eye to see through the things in the altar directly." The scribe said calmly, "I remember the first batch of spirits that were brought to Kyoto by caravans from the north ten years ago, and one of them was a batch of burning knives. The sand wax is still there, no matter how clean you wipe this jar, there is still a lot of fine dust on the sand wax, and it seems that the wine in the jar is still intact. ”

Boss Xiao was stunned for a moment, but this time his surprise was in his heart. I was amazed by the sight of this scribe, and even more shocked by his unknown identity.

"The guest officer is right, when the small shop started operating ten years ago, because the funds were a little unable to operate, so when the price of this yakiniku wine was reduced, a large number of goods were purchased, but I didn't expect that this wine did not sell very well in Kyoto." Boss Xiao didn't mean it tactfully, and explained it bluntly, "Burning knife wine doesn't have the stamina of grain wine, but it's too spicy, and people who have drunk this wine have suspected that it is medicated." Later, I was afraid that I would smash the signboard and not sell it again, so I drank a little occasionally, and the last remaining jar was put down, and the right was regarded as a memorial to accompany the small shop to build a business. ”

The scribe smiled faintly and said, "In this case, I am embarrassed to buy it." ”

Boss Xiao was a little forgetful when he talked about the old past just now, and it was not until this moment that he suddenly understood the true intention of this scribe to talk about this wine. For this reason, he couldn't help but regret a little: how could he unconsciously forget what he should value most as a businessman?

"If the guest officer likes it, you might as well take it directly." Boss Xiao is anxious for wealth, "This jar of wine has been alone for many years, and today it was taken away by the guest officer, so there is no need to bear ashes in the store, and you can get the taste of the people who know it, which is not the best destination for wine." ”

"Shopkeeper, you are very good at business, but this wine has been kept and not sold, maybe you are really waiting for me!" The scribe had a smile in his eyes, but he didn't know if it was because of the shopkeeper's tactful words to worship money, or if he really praised it. He glanced out the door, turned around and said, "I want this wine, please trouble the store to tie it with hemp rope for me." ”

After that, the scribe did not ask any more questions, but took a silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it gently on the counter.

Only Boss Xiao knew the value of this jar of wine when it was shipped ten years ago, but looking at his positive appearance when he took off the wine jar and tied it according to the scribe's instructions at this time, it was obvious that selling this stagnant goods today not only took away one of his thoughts, but also made a lot of money easily.

The scribe walked out of the liquor shop with a jar of wine tied with a rope, and before he left, the atmosphere between the counters was a little delicate. The scribe did not explicitly say that he did not need to look for money, and Boss Xiao did not say whether he gave more or less, and he didn't know who was negligent and who did it deliberately......
