Sipping one bite at a time, Steward Pei slowly drank a few sips of wine from the bottom of the bowl, and then gently wiped the corners of his mouth, the arrogance and surprise on his face had long since disappeared.

He came with a mission, so according to the planned script, of course he should have spit out the wine in Li Xi's face after drinking, and then slammed the wine bowl with a snap, and scolded him, but after drinking the wine, he hesitated, but he could only sigh, gave up all his previous plans, and turned around and walked back helplessly.

He wanted to follow the orders of the eldest prince and smash today's scene for him, but even if he said that it was not good, would it be useful? With his experience, it is not difficult to understand that the wine he tasted just now will definitely make everyone who knows a little about wine give a thumbs up, in this case, no matter how he picks his head, it is useless, and afterwards it will leave a bad reputation for deliberately looking for trouble, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to give up the surname Suo.

Seeing that he turned around and came back in silence after drinking, everyone didn't dare to ask him, but looked at each other in surprise again.

At this time, Pei Song, who had always been anxious, couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart, and he couldn't care about what he would do with Li Xi at the moment. **It's talking! ”

As soon as he spoke, even the people in front of him suddenly looked back, and those who knew each other knew at a glance that it was the eldest son of the Pei family who came, but at this time, everyone was more concerned about the question he asked, so when he finished asking, everyone was only slightly surprised when they found out that he was also coming, and they quickly turned their eyes on Steward Pei.

Two people went to taste the wine, but after the tasting, they behaved the same - they were silent!

What kind of wine is this? Is this wine good?

Everyone's curiosity has really been hooked to the limit, and it is with those countless blazing eyes that fall on Steward Pei, Rao is he is also considered to have been tempered a lot, and he still feels a little unnatural, but today they are here to find fault after all, and it seems that it is not easy to say anything praise, so at the moment he just nodded to Pei Gu, "Eldest prince, let's go." ”

At this moment, Pei Song really couldn't help it, he glared at Steward Pei viciously a few times, seeing that he was still giving himself a look, where would Pei Song still be in the mood to take care of him at this time, he immediately pushed him away, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Li Xi, you pour me a bowl, Uncle wants to taste it, what kind of wine and food are you, you can actually drink two people so much that they can't speak!" Don't talk nonsense, pour wine! ”

Li Xi smiled and poured him the bottom of a bowl.

He didn't talk nonsense at this time, he just took it and dried it in one bite!

Then, he spit out a sip of wine with a "poof", fortunately, Li Xi saw his movement and knew that he was a person with a quick surname, so he had already prepared, and that sip of wine only spit on the big case, and never spit on him.

"How's this wine?" He asked.

Pei Song was speechless for a while, looked down, there was still a little bit in the bottom of the bowl, he quickly and carefully poured the bottom of the bowl into his mouth, and slowly tasted it, the expression on his face was extremely exaggerated, and after the wine was lowered, he opened his mouth even more exaggeratedly, and scolded: "Said. Damn, what the is this wine, this is a fire! It's so spicy! ”

※※※

A small jar of wine made Li Xi pour more than sixty bowls, until noon, except for those who have not tasted it unwillingly around and refuse to leave, even those who have tasted it are still unsatisfied, wandering in the alley, fortunately, Li Xi has already explained that there will be a jar for everyone to taste tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

So, no matter how curious everyone was about the taste of this wine, it could only be reluctantly dispersed. Of course, although I definitely can't drink wine today, but after all, someone has tasted it, so those who crowded in front of me to taste the new wine suddenly became popular people in the eyes of everyone, and dozens of people surrounded one person at every turn, listening to his colorful description of the spicy taste of the new wine, which suddenly made everyone more and more curious and yearning for Li Xi's new wine.

Li Xi smiled and watched the crowd gradually disperse, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, he looked relaxed and confident just now, but he was actually quite nervous. This is the Datang New Wine Promotion Conference just now, on an occasion like this, there are too many people, and the situation is also very complicated, and what I am most afraid of is that something will suddenly appear that I did not expect in advance, and once it appears, I cannot control it.

Fortunately, the more than 60 bowls of wine were scattered one by one, but nothing surprised him.

Even at the beginning, there were people who wanted to find faults, especially the third eldest son of the Pei family who tasted wine, but that person was not the kind of person who could talk nonsense with his eyes open, so since he retreated unwillingly, the whole scene has basically stabilized, and everything else can almost be said to be in Li Xi's control.

The first battle of the wine tasting was declared a success, Li Xi patted the empty wine jar, turned to look at the Jingnu who was flushed with excitement, and said with a smile: "It's done, now that you have this wine, as long as I give you the exclusive right to sell for a period of time, presumably your business will definitely be able to do it again, and when the production really starts, my big words from half a year to a thousand dollars can also be realized, and today is a win-win situation for us!" ”

Jing Nu nodded quickly when she heard this, she was not stupid, although she didn't taste Li Xi's new wine in person, but from the admiration of those people just now, of course she could be sure that Li Xi really did it!

At the moment, although the crowd has gradually dispersed, she is still immersed in the scene just now and has not come out, thinking that people are not talking big, it turns out that people have been prepared for a long time, and it turns out that he said that he can help herself reopen this small wine, and it is not an empty word......

Thinking that he had advised him not to talk big after a good drunken time, he somehow felt a little embarrassed......

At that moment, she just looked at Li Xi excitedly, and she was stunned for a while, until she found that Li Xi's expression was a little wrong, she suddenly woke up, and then remembered that she was staring at others like this, but it was impolite, she immediately blushed, and quickly raised her hand to return to the messy hair on her sideburns, and twisted her face away embarrassedly.

She didn't know what to say with a thousand words of gratitude and admiration in her heart, she looked up at her head, and found that it was past noon, and she didn't think about it at the moment, so she said, "It's been a busy morning, are you hungry?" I'll get you some food! ”

After finishing speaking, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, how could she feel that her little daughter-in-law was talking to her man?

At that moment, her face was flushed, but it was not easy to take it back, because the words themselves were not wrong, but her tone was really problematic, and she could only hope that he would not hear it......

However, she obviously underestimated Li Xi's comprehension ability, and even underestimated the comprehension ability of the mothers-in-law around her, as soon as she said this, several mothers-in-law who were busy cleaning up looked at each other, and a shallow ambiguous look suddenly appeared on their faces.

Li Xi turned his head to look at the few people in the alley who were wandering around and refused to leave, turned his face and smiled at Jingnu, and said, "It's okay, I'm really hungry, I'll eat in your store at noon today, you go get dinner." ”

Hearing that he really agreed, and this tone actually came along with him, with the tone of his own man telling his little daughter-in-law, Jingnu suddenly felt ashamed in her heart, but at the same time she was relieved.

People brought this new wine here for people to taste, and while the new wine won praise, there was no doubt that it also helped him do a lot of publicity, not to mention that he also said that he would give himself the exclusive right to sell for a period of time in the future, what a big opportunity, Jing Nu naturally knew in her heart that either of these two things was actually enough to save her own small wine pot on the verge of bankruptcy, let alone give two at the same time? How much affection there is in this, she knows it even more in her heart.

Therefore, although it is not worth it to leave him for a meal at this time, it is also an opportunity to express his gratitude, but the conversation between the two just now is too ambiguous......

At that moment, she covered her face with both hands, and when she turned her head, she happened to see the ambiguous smile on the faces of the two mothers-in-law, and suddenly her face became more and more red, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, but just stomped her feet with hatred, and then ran backwards.

It wasn't until he saw her go back and the thin waist completely disappeared out of sight that Li Xi retracted his gaze, but he smiled hehehe, turned around and beckoned a mother-in-law to come over, ordering him to close the door of the wine bar, and then pointed to the people who were wandering around the alley and glancing over from time to time: "See?" These people will definitely come to me later, they are looking for me to have exclusive agency, I don't believe it, there must be a lot of owners who open wine shops and restaurants. ”

When the woman heard this, she stood at the door and looked out, not to mention, there were several people she knew and seen, all of them were some restaurant shopkeepers in Jinyuan County, and she quickly snorted coldly, and closed the door of the wine bar with her backhand.

Seeing that with the help of the new wine of the Li family, Wenjun's wine is prosperous again, and their jobs are saved, no matter what size restaurant you have, no one wants to snatch our God of Wealth away!

After closing the door at the moment, she still felt a little uneasy, remembering the conversation between Li Xi and the little lady just now, she suddenly turned around and said a few words in the ear of another mother-in-law, and then smiled and said to Li Xi, who was sitting on the side to rest: "Li family man, you rest first, I'll go to the back to give our little lady a hand!" Then he turned and ran to the back kitchen.

"Call me to say, this Li family Lang is really good, you look at people, can write poems and make new wine, on talent, ability, appearance, people are not lacking, such a young man, no wonder she was so poor before, the Liu family is unwilling to withdraw from the marriage, dare to love people are not like us, people have long known that Li Jialang will have today!"

"In this life, especially us women, we still have to be with such a man in this life, even if it is a concubine, my heart is nourished! Alas, it's a pity that my daughter has already married, otherwise I really have to entrust someone to talk about it, I would rather be a concubine for the Li family than marry our current aunt, alas, why do you say that this man is so far from a man? ”

"Speaking of the Lin family, you're only nineteen years old this year, right? Are you really ready to be alone in this life? Don't talk to one anymore? You listen to me, the old body is a person who has come over, this woman has a life, but she can't help it, there is no one at home to support her, no one dares to bully you and don't say it, the key is that you are also difficult to endure, you are so young and beautiful, and you are still a clean body, why don't you take advantage of your youth to find someone, and there is also someone to rely on, isn't it better than showing up all day to make a living? ”

Listening to Mrs. Qian's vigorous roundabout, at first Jingnu just blushed and refused to speak, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but "snap" and slapped the kitchen knife on the case, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but she hesitated when the words came to her mouth, but she didn't say it too badly, just euphemistically expressed her mind-

"Aunt Qian, although I am just a woman, I am illiterate and don't know anything, but I have heard the words that a martyr does not serve her second husband since I was a child, and I still dare not or forget, why should a woman's family stand in the world? Isn't it just a morality? At the moment, although the Huangfu family doesn't miss the old love, they have to drive me out, but I was born as Lang Jun's wife, and I died, and I am also his person. ”

The fire in the furnace was booming, and it slightly covered the old face of the Qian woman, and when she heard the words, she had no choice but to laugh and say: "Isn't the old body also for the sake of your Lin family's lady, okay, if you don't mention it, don't mention it, don't mention it......"

As she spoke, she sighed in her heart, this little lady is really stubborn enough, just now listening to the conversation between the two of them, she thought she was hopeful, but now it seems that there is no drama in protecting the media!

Even after thinking about it deeply, there are so many rights and wrongs in this store, and this little lady insists on refusing to find a support, but I am afraid that trouble will be indispensable in the future, and it is difficult to say how long it can be opened smoothly!

※※※

Jingnu carefully picked up a few dishes, and scalded the wine, this table of small dishes on the table is also fresh and gratifying, and the taste is also good, Li Xi is very hungry, and eats very fragrantly.

Mrs. Qian helped serve the food, and after waiting to pour wine for Li Xi, she saw that the other people who were still cleaning up in front had already left, so she said: "The old body is also a matter of family life, and now our wine shop has not opened yet, there is no business, and there is nothing to be busy with. ”

Li Xi smiled and nodded, and Mrs. Qian turned around and glanced at the back kitchen, and then walked away like the wind.

After a while, Jingnu cleaned up the back, suppressed the fire, and then washed her hands and went to the front, and saw that Li Xi was the only one left in front of her to sit there and pour and drink freely, and even the door of the store was closed, she was taken aback, and looked left and right, those mothers-in-law were really gone, and somehow she slipped up in her heart.

Li Xi heard the movement and looked back to see her, so he beckoned to her, "You have also been busy all morning, you must be very hungry, sit down and eat some too!" ”

As soon as she heard this, she was so frightened that she almost pulled her feet and wanted to run back.

She turned her head with a red face, shook her head, and said, "No need, Li Jialang, you can eat quickly, don't worry about me, I have left food behind!" ”

Li Xi was puzzled when he heard this, and then remembered that it seemed that in ancient times, men and women were not allowed to eat at the same table? I don't know if the couple has this exquisiteness, at least two men and women who have nothing to do with each other are not allowed to eat at the same table.

Well, that's right!

Thinking about this, Li Xi had no choice but to pat her brows helplessly, and she didn't know what to say, anyway, it was estimated that people might have misunderstood, and even in her eyes as a female surname in the Tang Dynasty, the invitation she had just now was even close to flirting?

However, when he thought that he opened his mouth to tease the other party, although he politely declined, he was not angry, and immediately remembered the ambiguous conversation just now, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, but before he could speak again, he saw that Jingnu had already walked quickly to the door and opened the door of the shop.

Then she turned her back to Li Xi and said, "Li Jialang, you help me so much, the little woman is extremely grateful in her heart, it's just a little joking, don't make it over...... You use it slowly, I remember that I want to go outside to buy something, go out first, and close the door after you eat. With that, he hurriedly walked out the door.

Leaving Li Xi in the store, a chopstick dish had just been picked up, and then he looked at the table full of wine and food, but he suddenly felt completely interested.

Liu Lan returned home for lunch, and just after using tea, she heard that the master had arrived home after duty, so she hurriedly got up and went over.

Knowing that he went to Li Xi's wine tasting, after coming back just now, Liu Zhou's kept asking what the situation was, and said that this matter had already spread all over the city before it came out, and even the people in the family were talking about it, saying that the new wine brewed by Li Xi was extremely magical and spicy. Liu Lan was not in the mood to answer her, but she was perfunctory, and at this time she went to the front to see the old man, and then she reported to the old man in detail what she had seen and heard in the morning.

Then he remembered the excitement on his wife's face after hearing his description, and he said worriedly: "If you want to say that Li Xi is really capable of tossing, he still asked him to toss again!" It's just that my son thinks that it's better for him to toss and not succeed! ”

Liu Bo's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, of course he understood why Liu Lan said that.

For a scholar, fame and fame are the most important things, and they are also the things that can affect the future the most, but Li Xi is good now, but he is a little famous, but he can only be embarrassed to clash with those embarrassing messes that he has made, but now he is actually brewing new wine, and he will definitely make a great reputation in getting rich in the future. It's just that this kind of thing is naturally a good thing for ordinary people, but for a person who aspires to be admitted to the sergeant and become an official, it is not necessarily a good thing!

First of all, the top will ask, how can a person who is greedy for money be a good official?

However, Liu Bo didn't care when he heard this, he just asked carefully what the taste of the wine was, Liu Bo never showed up to taste it, but there was still a person who tasted it with him, and immediately told the old man his original words, the old man nodded slightly when he heard it, and finally said: "The article morality can be an official, of course, it is good, but it can make money, but it may not be a shortcoming, I think this matter, very good!" ”

Then after thinking about it, he said again: "Go back and send someone over and ask that kid for two new jars of wine for us to taste!" This kid, not to mention making new wine to pay homage first, but running to hold a new wine tasting meeting, nonsense! This was said affectionately, and the old man had a smile on his face when he spoke, obviously not only did he not feel that there was anything wrong with Li Xi's move, but he was very satisfied!

Liu Lan wanted to speak and stopped, but the old man sighed again at this time: "This new wine is a good thing worth a thousand gold!" ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Lan, seeing that he looked confused, the old man nodded at him again, and said: "Those who can make wine do not necessarily have to come forward to do business by themselves, and those who can make wine do not necessarily not be officials!" The best thing is to earn money without delaying the future! When I turned around and asked him to bring wine, I personally told him, let him give you your mother, your daughter-in-law, and your sister, all of them have a share, this kind of good thing, can't all be cheaper than others! ”

Then he squinted his eyes and sighed, and said proudly or sadly: "Those who are officials are also short of money!" ”
