Chapter 20 Distilled Spirits Come Out
"Wait." Zhang Bao said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Guan Ping was hurrying away, looking back at Zhang Bao with some doubts. "Guan Ping, you've gone too far." Zhang Bao said.
"Khan." Guan Ping looked up and saw that he had actually arrived at his door, and he had actually gone over. But since he went home, Guan Ping went in to say a word to his mother Liu, and then went to Zhang's house for dinner.
Liu didn't care, anyway, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao often ate together, either to Guan's house or to Zhang's house.
Anyway, the Liu family and the Xiahou family are both atmospheric people, not people who roll their eyes when their nephews come to dinner.
After Guan Ping had dinner at Zhang's house, he went to Zhang's brewing workshop with Zhang Bao. It's still the same, and you can smell the aroma of wine from afar.
When you enter the brewery, you will see that many workers are busy. When the workers saw Zhang Bao coming in, they hurriedly put down their work and came up to see the "little general".
Zhang Bao looked left and right, frowned and asked, "What about Li Nian?" ”
But everyone is there, and the serious master is not there.
"Back to the little general, Master Li is drunk." A worker stepped forward and said cautiously.
"He's drunk?" Zhang Bao was a little surprised, it was normal for Li Nian to drink secretly, but it was not normal to be drunk.
"Master Li gets drunk every day these days." The worker nodded.
"This old man, he gets drunk every day, how much wine does he want to drink from our family." Although Zhang Bao is straightforward, he can't bear that his subordinates actually drink every day, and they are hungover, and they are a little angry.
The little general was very angry, and he had a momentum of his own, which frightened the workers in front of him. At this time, Guan Ping stepped forward, stopped Zhang Bao, and asked the worker who asked this time: "Go and wake up Li Nian, if you can't wake up, splash noodles with cold water." ”
"No." The workers knew that this was General Guan Xiao, so they promised and hurriedly went down.
Guan Ping said to Zhang Bao with a happy face: "I heard my brother say that this Li Nian usually drinks secretly, but because of his outstanding wine-making skills, your family will turn a blind eye." Now he's drunk every day, apparently my new wine is coming out. ”
"Does it have anything to do with your new wine?" Zhang Bao was stunned.
"Of course, I'm very energetic with this new wine." Guan Ping said with a smile.
In those years, the alcohol content was very low, equivalent to beer, so there were a lot of people. And this Li Nian should be able to drink a lot of alcohol normally, but when he suddenly drinks distilled spirits, he is naturally drunk every day.
Being drunk is not a bad thing, being drunk is a good thing.
Guan Ping estimated that this distilled spirit really came out.
Good thing, good thing, great good.
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "This new wine didn't report to me, but ate it alone." ”
Guan Ping rolled his eyes when he heard this, are you angry that Li Nian didn't report it, or is it because Li Nian is angry that he eats alone?
This little drunkard.
Not long after, Li Nian, who was in a hangover and was woken up by cold water, hurriedly walked over, this little old man was very embarrassed and terrible.
"Little General." Li Nian hurriedly saluted Zhang Bao.
"Hmph." Zhang Bao snorted coldly, and then asked, "Is the new wine coming out?" ”
"It's out, it's out. After the careful development of the villain, the new wine has come out, sweet and delicious, and the wine is really strong. When Li Nian talked about the new wine, he suddenly came to his senses and chattered.
didn't find that Zhang Bao's face was even worse, in addition to anger, there was also a bit of salivation.
"Why didn't you report me earlier?" Zhang Bao couldn't help but interrupt Li Nian's tirade.
"Ugh!" Only then did Li Nian notice that his little general's face was not good, so he knew that it was not good, and hurriedly said: "So that the little general knows that when this new wine is just brewed, this wine tastes bad." The villain pondered for a long time before he came up with the idea of knocking on the door. If this new wine is good, you have to pinch the head and remove the tail, and the wine in it is a good wine. ”
"Are you lying to me?" Zhang Bao was skeptical.
"How dare you deceive the little general." Li Nian hurriedly said.
"Alright, alright. Brother, don't talk nonsense with him, just take out the wine and eat. "Guan Ping can't stand it, this fool.
"Yes." Zhang Bao nodded suddenly, and then drank and ordered Li Nian to fetch wine. Li Nian hurriedly went down, and soon after, with a few workers, he brought a case-solving table, a jar of wine, and two broken bowls.
"Clean bowls." Li Nian put down the two broken bowls, and then poured two bowls of wine while holding the wine jar.
Guan Ping is not too obsessed with wine, his nose moved, and he only felt that this wine was sweeter than ordinary wine in this era.
"Gollum." Zhang Bao was knowledgeable, so he immediately snorted, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and then couldn't wait to take the wine bowl and drink it.
"Good wine." After drinking, Zhang Bao grunted, burped, and then looked at another bowl with bright eyes.
"Brother, drink it." Guan Ping said helplessly.
"Gollum." So Zhang Bao drank the wine again, and then with a bang, he fell straight to the ground, fortunately, Guan Ping saw the opportunity quickly and hugged Zhang Bao. Looking down, this little fly-like face showed a happy smile.
but he fell asleep.
Guan Ping didn't care about this fool, the people of the Zhang family would not get drunk to death. But it doesn't work to leave it here, Guan Ping said to Li Nian: "Find a car, lift your little general, put a jar of wine on the car, and follow me." ”
"No." Li Nian naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he promised to do it immediately. Soon after, Guan Ping sent Zhang Bao back to Fuzhong and handed it over to Xiahou's family, who saw Zhang Bao drunk, but he was not surprised.
The family is full of alcoholics.
After dealing with Zhang Bao, Guan Ping took Li Nian and others and headed towards General Zuo's mansion.
Since something good has come out, it is natural to ask for credit. Besides, if this wine wants to be sold, it has to rely on Liu Bei.
Of course, Guan Ping had no problem entering and leaving General Zuo's Mansion, but Li Nian and other workers needed to be checked for a while. Soon after, Guan Ping, Li Nian and others were escorted into the mansion and came to Liu Bei's study.
Liu Bei heard the news and came out to see the excitement first, and looked at Guan Ping with Li Nian and others, as well as a jar of wine. smiled and said, "Ping'er, what kind of demon are you doing?" Even if there is good wine, it should be sent to your third uncle. That's the big drinker. ”
Liu Bei thought that Guan Ping had got good wine and came to honor him. In fact, I was a little happy in my heart. Stinky boy, it's not in vain that I love you so much.
"My lord, my nephew sent wine, but it wasn't wine." Guan Ping and Liu Bei didn't have anything to see, and said with a smile.
"Oh, could it be that there is a sword hidden in the box, and there is something else?" Liu Bei was a little interested.
These days are full of bad news, Xinye's situation is getting worse and worse day by day, he is about to hold back his problems, it is a good thing to have fun, it can soothe his mood.
"The lord will understand after taking a sip, just take a sip, don't be greedy." Guan Ping said mysteriously, and specially reminded him.
Liu Bei's alcohol consumption is not good, not as good as Zhang Bao. Zhang Bao, the drunkard, fell to the ground with two bowls of wine, and Liu Bei definitely couldn't bear a bowl.
It's better to take a sip and taste it first.
