Chapter 65: The Birth of the Drama Spirit (Fourth Update)
In the evening, the headquarters of Lujia Restaurant.
Next door is the newly opened restaurant of the Qin family, and from time to time the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and the sound of women's laughter come from inside.
Compared with the bright lights and singing and dancing of the Qinjia Restaurant, the few tables of guests in the Lujia Restaurant are very deserted.
Suddenly, a man with a strange ugly appearance, obscene eyes, and a small head shouted: "What kind of broken wine is this, fade out of a bird, is there any strong wine!" ”
After that, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and fell to the ground, only to hear the "bang", the wine bowl was torn apart, and the other customers in the building also looked over.
"Brother Li, don't be angry, the brewing process of the spirits is very complicated and secretive, and the Xiliang Kingdom can only produce a few jars every year, and I heard that these few jars of spirits have also been sent to the Xiliang royal family, how can ordinary people drink it?"
Sitting next to the ugly man was also an extremely ugly man, but he was much taller than the other one, and he was loudly persuading the little ugly man at this time.
The other customers looked at the appearance of these two people, and took a "hiss" breath: It's really ugly!
"Hey, pity me and other people who love wine, there is obviously good wine in this world but you can't get it, and it's infuriating!"
The little ugly man beat his chest and stomped his feet, and he was very sad and angry.
Zhang Twelve looked at the little ugly man - it was Lu San, his eyes were full of approval, there was no such thing as this rehearsal, I didn't expect this kid to learn and sell now, and he made up such a paragraph by himself, and his voice was full of emotion, and it was very infectious!
The two ugly people, one big and one small, are naturally Zhang Twelve and Lu San after the disguise, and the two people who acted for the first time did not feel uncomfortable at all, just like two actor-level characters, who flew into the play at the beginning.
There are also many wine lovers among the other customers in this building, and when they hear Lu San's complaints, in addition to sympathy, they actually have a feeling of sympathy.
They don't love wine, but in the world, whether it is the Qin family or the Lu family, all the wine comes from the same wine shop in Taizhou, and the taste is the same, it is the same - unpleasant.
But even if it's hard to drink, they want to drink it, who makes them love wine?
Hey, just heard that the Xiliang royal family has a kind of spirit, even if they smell it!
If you can take a sip, what are the regrets in this life?
…………
The middle-aged shopkeeper at the front desk secretly glanced into the room behind him, just in time to see Lu Fujing nodding to him, and then walked towards Zhang Twelve.
"Two guest officers, Lu is the shopkeeper of the Lu family's restaurant, I heard what the two of you just said, but you think my Lu family's wine is not good?"
"Hmph, such a light drink, do you dare to say it?"
The little ugly man "played" by Lu San said with a dissatisfied face.
"Hehe, the two of you happened to come, my Lu family happened to have a method of brewing spirits recently, and they worked hard to develop it for more than a few months, and finally made some spirits......"
The shopkeeper surnamed Lu is estimated to be a drama master, at least from Zhang Twelve's point of view, this person's performance is flawless, if he is not a trust, it is estimated that he will believe it.
"Spirits? Your shopkeeper is too unauthentic, since there are spirits, why don't you take them out and let me wait for wine lovers to taste it? ”
Maybe it was because he saw that the shopkeeper Lu was a bit of a showman, Lu San stood up directly, and said while pointing at everyone, his acting skills were brilliant and his rendering power was full.
Sure enough, when these wine-loving customers heard Lu Sanyi say, they all agreed and instigated the landing shopkeeper to take out the spirits.
Shopkeeper Lu smiled, and then said with a little "embarrassment": "This guest officer doesn't know, in addition to the mellow fragrance of this liquor, and the brewing process is very complicated and special, the same pound of wine, the consumption of grain and labor is much more than that of turbid wine, so this price is ......."
The meaning is self-explanatory, that is: spirits, yes, but the price, very expensive!
"You shopkeeper, why are you so verbose, just a bottle of wine, if it's good, what's the matter if the price is high?"
Lu San waved his hand, showing a look of indifference.
"Hey-Brother Li, don't worry, of course you have to drink the spirits, but at this price, you still have to ask in advance!"
The tall ugly man's "cautious" style immediately won everyone's appreciation, and then they all looked at the shopkeeper Lu and waited for him to speak.
"This turbid wine costs 500 wen a catty, and our strong wine is 5,000 wen a catty!"
"Wow~~"
After the shopkeeper Lu finished speaking, everyone in the building immediately burst into an exclamation, they were indeed frightened by the price of this spirit, five thousand yuan, that is, five taels of silver can buy this pound of spirits, it is really a bit expensive!
The little ugly man didn't speak again, frowning and thinking about something, and suddenly, as if he had made some important decision, he took out a silver ingot from his bosom, slapped it on the table and shouted: "Isn't it just five taels of silver, I have it!" If the wine is really as good as you say, what about five taels of silver? ”
The little ugly man's uninhibited performance immediately won the applause of the audience, and the shopkeeper Lu was also smiling and said: "The guest officer is really courageous, Lu admires it!" This liquor can be drunk by people who love wine like the guest officer, and that is the best use of it! ”
…………
"Come on, get our spirits!"
The shopkeeper Lu shouted, and then Xiao Er walked over with a round ceramic white altar, and the shopkeeper Lu took it and put it on the table of Lu San and Zhang Twelve, and then opened the lid on the altar.
Suddenly, the rich aroma of wine in the jar filled the entire restaurant in an instant, and other customers had already gathered around the restaurant looking for the taste, and then looked at the little ugly man, staring at the wine with an obsessive face, and then leaned over the wine jar, sniffed deeply, and then intoxicated and said: "Good wine, good wine, really good wine!" ”
Looking at Lu San's expression, Zhang Twelve was willing to bow down, it was really a pity not to act.
In fact, what Zhang Twelve didn't know was that Lu San was acting at other times, but now, he really wasn't acting, because this was indeed the first time he had smelled such a fragrant wine.
So now, it's just a show in its true colors.
…………
Lu San couldn't wait to pick up the jar and fill the wine bowl, even forgetting the pre-rehearsed section of "Tasting a Product", holding it up, tilting his head, and drinking it directly.
Then the second bowl, the third bowl, three times raised his head, three times he drank it all, and there was only a pound of wine in the wine jar.
Lu San's face was flushed, and his whole body was shaking, but he didn't forget to speak: "This wine ...... Only should be ...... Yes, people...... Rare ...... Several times...... Product ......"
After saying this, Lu San couldn't hold on any longer, and under the gaze of everyone, he fell headlong into the ground......
And after Zhang Twelve witnessed Lu San's dedicated performance before he fell down after insisting on reading the last line, he admired it in his heart:
It's simply the birth of a drama spirit!
