Chapter 20: The Tongue of Beauty
"Labor, borrowing, borrowing......"
Just when everyone was already waiting impatiently, and the situation on the scene was about to get out of control, Li Xi squeezed over from the side of the alley with a wine jar in his arms and a smile on his face.
"I've been waiting for you, forgiveness, forgiveness, uh, overslept, sorry, sorry......"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this.
The big guy waited here for him for more than an hour, and thought that this guy was playing with everyone, but it turned out that he was just oversleeping......
On the spot, many people were so angry that their foreheads were bruised, and they clenched the boss's fist in their hands, and a few of the people who had given Li Xi an ugly look at this Wenjun wine bar a few days ago were so angry that they almost crooked their noses.
They just came to see the joke today, but they waited here for nearly two hours, this crowded place, although it is spring, but it can almost make people cover the prickly heat, but people sleep at home until this time, this is simply more than playing tricks!
He was sent out to wait for him and his new wine, and he was able to lie down at home!
The daring lover didn't take such a big scene today seriously!
But everyone looked at the wine jar in his arms, looked at each other a few times, and finally forced this anger to suppress themselves - maybe, just play it, and see what this kid's so-called new wine tastes like, as long as it is his new wine, but there may be a little bit wrong, hmph, it is not too late to take out this account when the time comes!
Under the angry gaze of everyone, Li Xi squeezed open a passage and finally walked to the door of Wenjun's liquor shop. Seeing that he was really coming, still holding the wine jar in her arms, Jingnu felt a sudden lightness on her shoulders, and she was relieved unconsciously, and then she suddenly felt that it was dark in front of her, so she fainted on the spot.
In the past hour and a half, her pressure has been too great.
Seeing her swaying, Li Xi didn't want to go over to help her in front of so many people, but fortunately, there were two wine sellers standing next to Jingnu, seeing this, she quickly helped her up, and politely persuaded her to go to the back to rest, but Jingnu shook her head, and after feeling that she was much sober, she raised her hand and pushed away the two mothers-in-law.
Li Xi agreed to help her reopen the wine shop, and she waited for him here for so long under so much pressure, just to wait and see how Li Xi helped herself? At this time, don't say that your body is fine, even if you are too sick to get up, you have to have someone carry you over!
The day before yesterday, when Li Xi read the notice to her word by word, she knew that it was not entirely an empty sentence for Li Xi to say that he wanted half a year to a thousand gold, it turned out that he had been secretly preparing his own affairs, so if she had just kept believing in Li Xi when she had nothing to do but was unwilling, then when she saw the notice, she actually believed Li Xi five or six points in her heart.
Of course, in addition to trust, the most important thing in her heart is naturally curiosity.
At this moment, there are thousands of people gathered in this small alley, but all they are concerned about is what new wine Li Xi has made, and what they are concerned about is just to see if Li Xi is going to lose any ugliness this time, it can be said that this matter itself has nothing to do with them, they are just waiting for the outcome of the matter. Whether it's a surprise or a joke that is about to come, it doesn't have much to do with them, at best, it's just a few more after-dinner tongues.
But this matter is a matter of life and death for Jingnu!
Although she only opened a small wine shop, she is the boss, she can make her own decisions in everything, and in the current era, she can be said to have tasted the glass of "freedom" to the maximum.
But now she has completely broken off the relationship with the Huangfu family, and all the savings since running the shop have been taken away by her brother and sister-in-law, the shop has also been smashed, and the prepaid rent has also been taken away.
At that time, a weak woman who was called an "ominous person" couldn't even find an excuse to resist, because she didn't even have the last small place to stand.
Therefore, the few words Li Xi said behind the dark and messy counter that day were simply the only thing she could rely on now, and they were simply her lifesaver!
She firmly believes in her heart that Li Xi will succeed, and she must succeed, no matter what!
But how can he succeed?
What rare and wonderful things were contained in the wine jar he held in his arms?
Can a small wine jar make him half a year to a thousand gold? Can a new jar of wine really conquer so many people who have come here today? He...... Can you really bring your little wine shop back to life?
…………
In her chaotic thoughts, Li Xi smiled shyly, and after putting down the wine jar, she arched her hand at everyone, and then said: "What, the time has been delayed a lot, let's start this new wine tasting meeting?" ”
He turned and commanded, "Come, bring the bowl!" ”
At that moment, a wine seller heard this, and quickly took out a large stack of washed and wiped wine bowls that had been prepared a long time ago, and put them on the big case that blocked everyone at the door of the shop.
Li Xi took the jar of wine and put it directly next to a large stack of wine bowls, and directly opened the seal of the jar.
It wasn't until this time that everyone noticed, but it turned out that this jar of wine was not sealed with mud, but only used a large ball of linen, and everyone was a little curious at the moment, because nowadays the winemaking is to seal the coarse wine in the wine jar, and the mouth of the altar is sealed with mud, so that the wine can continue to brew and ferment while inside, but no one has ever heard of sealing it directly with a ball of linen cloth without mud sealing.
The sackcloth dumplings are sealed, but they can't be sealed, so how can the wine continue to ferment?
Li Xi didn't know that it was a matter of sealing, the jar of wine in his hand had already aroused the interest of many connoisseurs, and after he opened the jar, he first smelled a pungent aroma of wine, and then he didn't look at everyone's reaction, he took a wine bowl, picked up the jar and carefully poured the bottom of a bowl into it.
The whole alley is really quiet at this time, that's because everyone is watching it with their eyes, just now I saw that Li Xi only hugged a jar of wine, and some people already sneered disdainfully, and this time I saw that he was only willing to pour the bottom of a bowl, so someone said disdainfully: "Li Dacaizi, you are too picky, right?" Even if it's a free wine tasting, it's not so picky, this is enough for us to moisten our throats, who can taste it? ”
Li Xi smiled shyly when he heard this, and he didn't refute it, just glanced at the crowd, stretched out his hand and pointed at the one who spoke, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, we met here a few days ago, and this benevolent brother also said that he resolutely didn't believe that I Li Xi could reach a thousand dollars in half a year, right?" ”
When the man heard this, he didn't have stage fright, and immediately squeezed away from everyone and stood up, and said proudly: "That's right, it's me!" And I didn't believe it at the time, but I don't believe it now, I feel now, what kind of bullshit tasting party you have, it's purely blind! ”
Li Xi smiled when he heard this, but he was not angry, and nodded immediately: "Okay, since this brother is so skeptical, then how about inviting brother Ren to be the first to taste wine at today's wine tasting?" ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but no one objected. And the man naturally had no opinion, he nodded immediately: "Okay, dare to let someone try your wine, even if you still have some guts!" It's just that you have too little wine, and it's full! ”
Li Xi shook his head with a smile, picked up the wine bowl and handed it over, "It's full of what you can't drink, besides, there is only one jar of wine today, which is for everyone to taste, and there is nothing for you to spoil!" ”
Speaking of this, he added, "By the way, I also want to remind this brother that when drinking my new wine, remember to drink it slowly and in small sips, otherwise if you choke, don't blame me for the wine being too strong!" ”
The man snorted disdainfully when he heard this, strode up to Li Xi, and took the wine bowl.
After taking the bowl, the first thing was a burst of pungent aroma hit him, and he was stunned by this aroma, but he felt that the aroma of this wine was much stronger than the aroma of those wines that he drank in Pingyue!
At the moment, he was about to bow his head and smell it carefully, although he absolutely didn't believe that Li Xi could make any new wine that was different, let alone any strong wine, he boasted that he liked the things in this cup, and dared to boast that it was a strong wine, as long as it was in the world, he was not afraid, but after all, he was the first to taste the wine in front of so many people, and he didn't want to make any scandal, but at this time, before he could smell it carefully, he could hear that the people behind him had begun to coax-
"Drink it, what are you stunned!"
"yes, don't drink it yet, so many people are waiting to taste it!"
"This kid can't be the nursery that Li Xi found, right? Casual pretense, smell what, drink quickly! ”
With such a noise behind him, no matter how good his surname is, he can't bear it, not to mention the smell of wine in front of him, he is really addicted, so he doesn't think about it in a hurry at the moment, picks up the bowl, and pours it into his mouth.
Then, suddenly, his eyes widened!
A sip of wine will be swallowed before swallowing, but he feels that his mouth is full of **, so that he, a person who claims to be used to drinking spirits, can't help but almost squirt out this wine on the spot!
After enduring it for a few years, his face was red, and he swallowed it in the end, and then he felt a hot current down his throat to his abdominal button, so uncomfortable!
After drinking, the beauty is over, and there seems to be a fire burning in the stomach!
As if he was stupid, he raised his head and glanced at Li Xi in disbelief, then looked at the empty bowl in his hand, and then, just when everyone was waiting with bated breath for him to turn around and evaluate what the taste of this wine was, he slowly handed the bowl to Li Xi and asked, "Can you bring me a little more?" ”
The people who heard him close couldn't help but look at each other, and the people who were far away grabbed the shoulders of the people in front of them one by one, asking what the guy said, and when the news came, everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What is this fucking evaluation?
Li Xi smiled when he heard this, and shook his head, "There is only so little for one person, if you want to drink, please be early tomorrow, continue to be free!" ”
The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he heard this, touched his stomach, and stared at the wine jar in Li Xi's arms, and after a long time, he put down the empty bowl and turned around and walked back to the middle of the crowd.
As soon as everyone saw that he was still angry just now, and he didn't speak after drinking at this time, they couldn't help but be curious, and when they saw him approaching, they pulled him and asked, "How is it?" What is this wine like? You're talking, what's wrong with you? Why did you become dumb after drinking? ”
The man felt that since a sip of wine, he was still a little dizzy, there was a feeling of fluttering like a fairy, to put it in the past, like that wine bowl was full, even if he drank it three or five bowls, he would not have this comfortable feeling!
At the moment, everyone asked one after another, but he was reluctant to interrupt this wonderful feeling, so no matter what others asked, he just shook his head vigorously, and he didn't even want to say a word, he just wanted this feeling...... Fly a little longer!
At this moment, everyone saw that he refused to speak, so they couldn't help but look at the small wine jar on the big case in front of Li Xi, and suddenly their hearts became more and more curious!
Li Xi smiled, changed a wine bowl, poured the bottom of the bowl again, and asked, "Who is coming this time?" ”
"I'm coming!"
"I'm coming!"
…………
This time, Li Xi's words fell, and he didn't wait for him to point out people, everyone was curious, and immediately signed up enthusiastically after hearing the words, and many people squeezed forward vigorously, wanting to get a better position, so that they could quickly taste this new wine that made people speechless and didn't know how to evaluate it after drinking.
Seeing this, Li Xi hurriedly picked up the wine jar and was about to smash it, and shouted with round eyes: "Don't squeeze, if you squeeze it, I will break the wine jar, and no one can drink it!" Don't squeeze! ”
Jokes, the big scene of so many people, there is not even a person who can maintain order on the scene, if it is chaotic, even stepping on and squeezing, let alone making the new wine famous, I am afraid that even my own life may be explained here.
Hearing what he said, the scene was quiet for a while, and then more arms were raised.
"I'm coming!"
"I'm coming!"
Li Xi smiled, and was about to choose the second one, but suddenly someone shouted, "What's the shouting, get out of the, let Lao Tzu come, I don't believe that his wine can go anywhere!" ”
Everyone turned back angrily when they heard this, but after seeing the person who spoke clearly, they immediately changed to a smiling face, and immediately quickly gave way, saying, "Steward Pei, why are you always driving over, please, please!" ”
As soon as someone said this, everyone immediately knew who was coming, and at the moment, whether they were willing or not, they could only quickly give way. Who made the family the housekeeper of the mansion of Lord Cheng Pei in Jinyuan County today!
People say that the prime minister's porter is a seven-grade official, and this word works just as well when it falls on the ground, the concierge of the county lord can represent the county lord when he goes out, and that is a big man who even has to be careful and respectful to the swords and pen officials who are serious about doing things in the yamen, not to mention the ordinary people who are not bullshit?
At that moment, everyone forcibly gave Steward Pei a way, and let him walk to the big case of Wenjun Wine Shop, he glanced at Li Xi with his head high, and said disdainfully: "I'll come to see what kind of wine you have!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl on the large table, handed it to the end of his nose, sniffed it gently, and then his face was shocked.
Although he doesn't particularly like to drink, after all, he has also been a housekeeper in Lao Pei's family for many years, and it is his responsibility to buy wine and food every year, so he has a lot of experience in distinguishing the quality of wine.
From the time he spoke, until he came over and picked up the wine bowl, Li Xi kept looking at him with a smile, and didn't say a word from beginning to end, but at this time, seeing his cautious face, he said: "Wine, drink in small sips." ”
Steward Pei glanced up at him when he heard this, and wanted to snort to express his disdain, so as not to weaken his morale, but in the end, smelling the strong aroma that lingered on the end of his nose, he still endured that thought, carefully held the wine bowl in front of him, and took a small sip shallowly, and then his expression was almost the same as the person who tried the wine before, and his eyes widened at the moment, a sip of wine was between his lips and tongue, and his face was full of disbelief!
Just like when I was young, on the night of candles in the cave room, I was ignorant and understood, and tried the beauty tongue for the first time......
********
In other words, the new book list has fallen so badly, I don't have a good recommendation position to rely on, so I have to rely on you, brothers who read books, help smash a few more votes......
