At noon, there were only two or three diners scattered in the lobby on the first floor of Yunxian Ju. In addition to the ding dong sound of the clashing of the bowls and chopsticks, there was only a few occasional conversations. They were in a hurry to go on the road after eating, so they didn't have the time to order a pot of local wine here to drink and chat. These were all merchants, and they could be said to be doing small deals, and the things they sold, cloth, utensils, and grain, all that were used every day, were found in their carriage boxes.

Xiao Er, who ran the hall, was dozed off by the warm sun, and looked at the shopkeeper's absence, leaning on the doorpost and letting the upper and lower eyelids fight while his eyes were watching the excitement on the side. Xiao Er can be regarded as an old oilman in the restaurant inn, and the few business travelers in front of him really don't have half of the oil and water in his opinion. is also a businessman, those who drive a few large trucks and choose to stay in the hotel after they are full, and then go tomorrow, the big businessmen are very generous. The same courtesy, the latter will have a lot of reward, and these people ......

However, Xiao Er didn't live by looking at the rich businessman's reward, although he did rely on that tip before. However, Yunxian Ju has its own rules, whether rich or poor, you must be treated equally, as long as this guest does not say a word about you, you can naturally get a bonus more than the salary at the end of the month.

However, although the reward system is clearly written, and everyone knows how to do it to get money, but people have an inertia. Therefore, Xiao Er finally couldn't help but fall asleep, thinking in his heart: Anyway, when the guests check out, they will greet themselves, and the shopkeeper will be lazy anyway, anyway, the big boss is not there, anyway, there are no guests coming at this hour...... In short, there are countless reasons to be lazy. And the tragedy of life happens when you become inert.

Therefore, starting from Yunshan in the morning, Luo Yun and his party, who were very excited to rest in their own store for a night, arrived at this time.

Finally, God still favors this little second brother, who is old and young, and the whole family is counting on him for wages and food. Luo Yun and his party were in a carriage and an ox cart, and there were six or seven big men who laughed and scolded angrily. The noise was heard far away on the quiet official road at noon, and Xiao Er was finally woken up when the carriage stopped at the door. And Luo Yun's gaze was still on the couplet he wrote on the flagpole at the door, and the little two in the courtyard woke up and looked confused, in his opinion, he was just a little stunned when he suddenly saw such a group of people.

But Luo Yun's group is really complete enough. Uncle Wu and Cheng Mu, who were handpicked by Sun Daochang and Aunt Mei to accompany him to Chang'an, did not count, and the third uncle Li Zhencai came with him on the grounds of inspecting the accounts, Li Kun couldn't go to Chang'an, but he was not willing to be bored in the mountains and came out. Li Jian wanted to go to the county to buy some supplements for his daughter-in-law, and it was completely different from going to Yunxian Residence, but they said that they would send Luo Yun. The worst thing is the frightened horse pulling the cart, the four-hooved passenger along the way! That's right, it's the black blue tiger Xiaoyou. Originally, Luo Yun would not be crazy enough to take Xiao You to Chang'an, if this is discovered, the guards of Chang'an City will be able to have a hunting drama in the city.

But Luo Yun can't help it. In the morning, he deliberately ran to leave Xiao You in the back mountain to be with Zhenyue, but he didn't know whether this tiger was too humane or his ears were too good to hear the news that Luo Yun was leaving. No matter how Luo Yun coaxed, Xiao You just didn't listen. Standing on the edge of the woods, Luo Yun took one step and he took one step, and Luo Yun stood on its stomach and clearly expressed the fact that it was a scoundrel in a silent attitude. In the end, Luo Yun was forced to be furious, and Xiao You was forced to come up with a trick!

Xiao You lay on the ground, holding Luo Yun's ankles with both legs, tilting his head and blinking a pair of big eyes full of bright water and looking at Luo Yun affectionately. This poor kitten shape abandoned by the owner made Luo Yun's scalp fried, you are a tiger! It's still a tiger the size of a cow! Where did you learn this kind of kitten ability! Sell moe! You're selling cute! Isn't this your feline instinct?

Of course, Luo Yun didn't scold these words, he was afraid. I'm not afraid that Xiao You will get angry, but I'm afraid that Xiao You will go further. Luo Yun has seen cats, and of course he knows how much cats can be spoiled. Not to mention anything else, right now Xiao You is just lying on the ground and hugging his two legs, if he is struggling to go, Luo Yun guesses that Xiao You should stand up and hug him directly. Considering that Xiao You was taller than him when he stood upright and weighed dozens of times more than him, I was afraid that before Xiao You could stand firmly, he should be pressed down.

Since there is no power to stop it, it can only take one step at a time. So although the old and young of the Li family said that he was crazy when they saw Luo Yun actually taking a tiger on the road, but in the face of the two old men's questions, Luo Yun could only shrug his shoulders and ask: "I don't want to take it with me, but I don't have the ability to throw it down, if you have the ability, you can try it......"

Try, how to try? Locked up? Who has that guts. Kill it? Do you have what it takes?

sighed helplessly, and the Li family could only find a way to help cover it up. But in the end, it is a tiger, how can it be hidden. So the carriage that was originally hired for Luo Yun became a direct purchase, and he didn't dare to ask for a coachman. There was only one tiger in the carriage that could seat four people, and Luo Yun could still squeeze in with it, and Uncle Wu and Mu'er were in front of the car. As for Sun Daochang, people politely said that they had their own horses and stored them in the inn with Xingli. Thus, the problem of getting on the road was solved. The next step is to think about how to get past the city gate inspection.

As the actual behind-the-scenes boss of Yunxian Ju, although Li Zhencai only has a real estate title deed in name, he is a small common man, as long as he does not really change his business status, he can't hide it. So of course Xiao Er knew this boss, and when he saw Li Zhencai getting down from the ox cart, he hurriedly trotted over and served him diligently in every way.

Li Zhencai unconsciously held his head high when he arrived here, and the demeanor of the big boss naturally exuded, and he didn't look at Xiao Er, waved his hand and asked, "That's it, what about the shopkeeper, isn't he in the store?" ”

"In, in. There aren't many customers in the hall, so I guess I went to the store to make a round, you know he has this habit. Xiao Ercheng replied with fear, the boss can't be offended, and the shopkeeper can't be offended, if he says this little thing well, the reward of the shopkeeper will definitely not be small. However, when he said this, his eyes kept glancing at the store, and he only expected that the shopkeeper would really go to the inspection. While his eyes were rolling, he suddenly saw a strange young man standing next to the big boss, staring at him with an interesting face. Xiao Er hurriedly smiled flatteringly. He doesn't know this person, but if he can stand by the boss's side, he must be a relative or something, so he can't be offended.

Except for the craftsmen who came to Lijiazhai to repair the reservoir, this is the first time Luo Yun has seen outsiders, and he is still the shopkeeper hired by his family, of course he is very curious. The change in Xiao Er's eyes just now also happened to be captured by Luo Yun, but although all the systems were from his handwriting, he didn't plan to really manage the personnel here, so he just looked around with a smile, as if he had never seen the earthly buns in the world.

"Don't be stunned here, beckon someone to carry all the things on the ox cart to the storehouse. Let the shopkeeper count it, record the accounts, and then divide it. We're going to rest in the shop for the night, and we're going to get the car to the wagon, and oh yes, the carriage...... Go straight to my yard and don't mess with what's on the car! Li Zhencai commanded commandingly, and he also felt a little scolding Fang Xuan. When Luo Yun saw the confident appearance of the third uncle, he couldn't help but think of the image of cowering behind the second uncle when he first met. I couldn't help but smile.

"Yun'er, what are you laughing at? How's it going, are you satisfied with our store? Hehe, don't just stand at the door. I'll take you around, and although it's basically all according to what you said, you haven't seen the reality yet, have you? Walk around. After speaking, Li Zhencai impatiently took Luo Yun's arm and walked to the store, introducing Luo Yun to the role of various furnishings as he walked, and his excited and proud appearance was like a child who had just gotten a new toy and was showing off to his partner.

And the little child who rushed to help the two clansmen of the Li family to lead the cattle cart heard the word 'Yun'er', and almost fell to the ground under his feet, and couldn't help but look back at the thin white-clothed back, this is the boss's mysterious fourth nephew? By the way, that Dao Leader went to Yunshan to look for him, and he really let him find him. Looking at the boss's appearance, he is much more affectionate to this youngest nephew than the others. Thinking about Xiao Er, he couldn't help but glance at Li Kun, who was still standing at the door talking to Cheng Mu, and saw that he looked disapproving, and couldn't help but grin if he had listened to too much gossip, and everyone suspected that his relatives and friends were not in harmony with each other. shook his head, people just don't get along and what does it have to do with his junior. Hearing the urging voice beside him, Xiao'er hurriedly collected his thoughts and smiled and drove the ox cart to the backyard.

In the evening, the group had dinner and rested. Luo Yun sat cross-legged on the top floor of the third floor of the main building of Yunxian Residence, blowing the evening breeze, admiring the moonlight, and taking a sip of the fruit wine in the gourd. I felt the wine slowly moisturizing my internal organs down my throat, and I felt that my breathing was a little easier again. The first time he left the mountain, Luo Yun was really unprepared for his physical condition. Although there is a medicine king by his side, he is out to play after all, and he is not really sick and lies in bed and expects Sun Daochang to treat him. Everything was fine during the day, and after dinner, I don't know if it was the night wind blowing or the leg of mutton was too greasy, Luo Yun felt a little uncomfortable in his throat. Just in case, Luo Yun took a sip of the wine that the ancestor had given him. The green jade gourd was hanging on his waist at all times, and there was another one that he hung on Xiao You's neck for fear of losing it.

has accompanied the ancestor for so many years, and this gourd finally has one more. Yuan Wu originally wanted to give him one, but although the wine they brewed was just as delicious, the effect was not as good as what the ancestor gave. And this gourd is just a kind of container in his hands, in the white ape clan, but it symbolizes the status in front of the ancestor, there is a year-round supply of wine, and he is really embarrassed to ask for Yuanwu's gourd again.

"Good wine, good medicine." This sudden exclamation interrupted Luo Yun, who was in a trance, and when he looked back, he saw that Sun Daochang was standing at the top of the stairs with his hands behind his back and his eyes closed, looking up and inhaling the residual aroma of wine in the air, looking leisurely and fascinated, and he didn't open his eyes and mouth to continue to praise: "The fragrance is far away, and it will not be dispersed." Smell the heart and lungs are comfortable, the filth is dispersed, it is really good wine, good medicine! I still wondered how Xiaoyou's ancestor didn't help Xiaoyou recuperate his body and mind, but it turned out that he had already given Xiaoyou such an elixir. Just smelling the fragrance of this medicine, the poor road can't reach it. ”

Luo Yun secretly stuffed the mouth of the gourd to make the aroma of wine no longer emit, respectfully invited Sun Daochang to come in and sit down, seeing that Sun Simiao was still taking a deep breath and tasting it, knowing that he would not stop if he didn't understand it with his curiosity, he had to pick up a cup, wash it with water, pull out the mouth of the gourd and pour a small cup for Sun Simiao, and raised his hand to hand it over. Sun Simiao was not polite, as if he had obtained a treasure, he took it with both hands, but he was not busy drinking. First, he held the cup under the lamp and frowned for a long time, then sniffed it deeply under his nose, and finally carefully swallowed it in a small sip, and was not busy swallowing, letting the wine linger in his mouth for a long time before flowing down his throat into his stomach. I sat with my eyes closed and tasted for a long time, and then I took a long breath, and looked at the empty wine glass, the fragrance was still there, and I was reluctant to put it down.

When he raised his eyes and saw Luo Yun's gaze, he didn't feel embarrassed, he calmly put the wine glass on the table, sighed and said with emotion: "Good medicine, I have never seen such good medicine in my life." ”

Luo Yun blinked: "Why does the Taoist insist on calling this wine medicine?" I've also heard of medicinal wine, but ...... This is mostly the fragrance of flower dew melon and fruit, and there is no medicinal taste. ”

Speaking of his old profession, Sun Simiao suddenly came to his senses, stroked his beard and said leisurely: "This is the wonder of this medicine." There are many flavors of medicinal herbs: pungent, sweet, bitter, astringent, sour, salty; Gathered into medicine, not only does it taste bad but it is also difficult to swallow. Although the doctor has many words: good medicine is bitter. But if there is no way, how can we not want the medicinal juice to be as sweet as honey and make people willing to drink it. He has studied medicine for decades, and he has made a slight success in medicinal materials. This wine is so aromatic that it can still be distinguished by a slight doping of medicinal herbs. After drinking a cup of food, I realized that there were at least five kinds of medicines that nourished yin and replenished qi on the tip of my tongue, and the taste of medicine was very familiar. The winemaker actually has a way to completely neutralize the pungent and astringent taste of the herbs with the taste of flowers and fruits, but the medicinal properties are still there, and even enhanced. ”

After listening to Sun Simiao's words, Luo Yun was a little proud of holding the green jade gourd, although he was proud of the ancestor. Sun Simiao glanced at Luo Yun, who was a little proud, and asked, "Dare to ask Xiaoyou, is this wine made by your ancestor?" ”

Luo Yun was not surprised at all that Sun Simiao knew about the existence of the ancestor when he came back from a trip to Yunshan. After all, Cheng Mu and the others all knew that they would go out with the mysterious ancestor once a year. However, Sun Simiao wants to know more, so he really can't say it, but there is no need to bear this wine himself, and he doesn't have the ability to do it, so Sun Simiao doesn't believe it, so it's better to admit it happily. "That's right, but it was given by the ancestors. Whenever the juniors finished drinking, they would send the wine gourd back to the mountain, and the apes would take it away, and it would not be long before they filled it again and sent it back to me. ”

Luo Yun's words were true or false, but he clearly told Sun Simiao a meaning: the ancestor did not see outsiders.

Sure enough, Sun Simiao was not a stupid person, and when he heard this, his face couldn't help but darken, and he shook his head regretfully, and then said: "Poor Dao originally wanted to come to diagnose Xiaoyou's pulse, but when I had dinner in the evening, I found that Xiaoyou's body was slightly thin, I'm afraid Xiaoyou may be inappropriate." However, since there is this elixir pressing, it must be okay for Xiaoyou to leave the mountain for a few days. ”

"The Taoist chief is concerned about the younger generation, and the younger generation is grateful." Luo Yun didn't expect that Sun Simiao was benevolent and benevolent, and he really never forgot his illness for a moment, and he felt a little sorry for Sun Daochang, but he couldn't say anything about the ancestor. After thinking about it, Luo Yun arched his hand to Sun Simiao and said, "The Taoist is dedicated to medicine, and the younger generation admires it. The medical Tao is extensive, and the medicinal wine of the younger generation is also a little peculiar. When the juniors return from Chang'an, they will give the remaining wine to the Taoist. If the Taoist can gain something from it, it can be regarded as the Taoist who did not come to Yunshan in vain. ”

Sun Simiao was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, although he could not learn from the knees of that ancestor, but if he could study and understand the composition of this wine, he could also learn about a new combination of medicinal materials. The joy was beyond words, Sun Simiao thanked him and put it down. Tell Luo Yun to sit down, and take his hand to meditate on Luo Yun's pulse.
