Chapter 084: Cottage Sprite

According to Li Wenxuan's instructions, he held a wine jar fished out of the well in both hands and walked in again, and carefully placed it flat on the table. Feeling a chill, she was very puzzled why her master wanted to bring her own wine? What kind of wine to drink in broad daylight? Peony clearly remembered that Li Wenxuan was not an alcoholic. I also thought it was very strange, that is, the wine jar should have been placed in the cellar, but why was it put into the well?

Qiu Yue, who was standing next to her, looked at the peony, and naturally she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, after all, the two had a skirmish before. Li Wenxuan, who noticed this small detail, ordered: "Peony, you can go down." Peony, who didn't dare to go against his will, responded with a "yes" in a proper manner, and turned around and exited the hall.

Li Wenxuan, who was standing beside him, looked left and right and found that there was no vessel for water in the hall, so he did not rush to tear off the head on the wine jar. He casually said "follow me", and went outside with the wine jar in one hand. Qiu Yue, who was following him closely, was unknown, and followed him all the way to the kitchen.

At this time, Li Wenxuan, who found two bowls, tore off the seal on the wine jar, and immediately smelled a cool breath coming from the wine jar. Holding the jar in his hands, he poured the contents of the jar into the two empty bowls on the table. Although it is packed in a sake jar, it is not wine, but a soft drink that is modeled after the common ones in the future world.

Li Wenxuan motioned to stand next to the novel Qiuyue and could take it up and drink it, and she saw that the liquid in the bowl was no different from the white water she drank on weekdays. The only difference is that I didn't smell the aroma of wine, but smelled the sweet and refreshing taste. Involuntarily picked up the bowl with both hands and took a sip.

Qiu Yue, whose expression on her face immediately showed a look of surprise, drank all the liquid in the bowl in one go, and exclaimed, "What is this?" Why is it so delicious? Where did you buy it? I've never drunk it before. ”

Li Wenxuan, who took a sip of the copycat version of Sprite made in his right hand, except that the conditions did not allow carbon dioxide to be added to it, he added lemon juice, mint juice, rock sugar, well water, and so on according to a certain ratio. The mixed liquid is put into an empty jar and put directly under the well to "chill".

Li Wenxuan, who had tried it earlier, felt that he was a copycat Sprite, and the most important thing was that it couldn't bubble, and the taste was not much different from the Sprite he had drunk. On a hot day, anyone can drink a bowl of this cool silky thing, which is extremely useful.

"This water is called Sprite. Since you think it's delicious, drink more. There is no semicolon in the world except for something that can be drunk from me. Even if you have silver, you can't sell it. Thinking of Li Wenxuan, who Lin Ruoxi sent someone to give him a big watermelon, he also had to return the gift in accordance with the principle of courtesy: "When you leave, bring a jar back to your young lady and taste it slowly." If you put some ice cubes and lemon slices in this water, the taste will be even more refreshing and delicious. ”

Qiu Yue, who nodded again and again, signaled that he had written it down. The gluttonous worm in his stomach was seduced out, and he took the initiative to pick up the jar and pour it into his bowl. Unceremoniously, she took the bowl with both hands and drank it. The face is full of joy and autumn moon, as if he is drinking the elixir and jade liquid to nourish the body.

Observing Li Wenxuan, who she liked very much, she didn't feel much surprise, after all, this kind of thing is suitable for all ages. Not to mention that Qiu Yue, who is a native of the Ming Dynasty, can like this thing all of a sudden, even when Sprite was just popularized in the domestic market, ordinary Chinese people could drink this thing, or only on the wedding and funeral banquets, and at that time, each table was only a bottle of quantity, and there was no more after drinking.

A table of eight people, ten people, just for 1.25L Sprite, can barely drink a glass. Subsequently, the standard of living improved, and the days were better, so that this kind of thing could be drunk casually and full. It's also funny, but this thing holds its value better than anything else. A bottle of 1.25L Sprite started from the initial market price of 5 yuan, and even after 20 years, it is still 5 yuan.

Throwing down the sentence "self-convenience", Li Wenxuan, who walked out of the kitchen, went to the well in his yard, and pulled the rope hanging by the well with his own hands, and took up a jar. At the beginning, I could standardize the filling, so that each jar was filled with about five catties.

Li Wenxuan, who untied the rope on the altar, returned to the kitchen with the jar in one hand. At this time, Qiuyue not only burped repeatedly, but also had to become a special bulge in the flat belly. He put down the jar in his hand, looked into the opened jar, and found that most of the liquid in it was gone. For this reason, she didn't need to ask Qiu Yue, she knew that the several catties of water should all go into her stomach.

Li Wenxuan, who felt both funny and understandable, was worried that she would break her stomach if she drank it blindly and uncontrollably, so he pointed to the jar in Kaifeng and said, "You can take the rest with you." Qiuyue, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but clap her hands happily.

Li Wenxuan, who felt that she was still a child who had not grown up, seemed to be casual, but in fact, she wanted to learn something about the recent developments of the Lin family from her mouth: "Recently, have you heard some interesting stories?" ”

Qiu Yue, who didn't think about it, blurted out: "I haven't heard of the anecdote, but it's our house ......" Halfway through the words, he suddenly realized that he couldn't continue to say it downward, after all, his own master was a repeat to their subordinates, and they couldn't leak half a word.

Seeing that she had a sense of vigilance and did not continue to ask Li Wenxuan, he smiled and said, "Why did your young lady suddenly want to send me watermelons?" Could it be that it's you, a little girl, who is making her own assertions? ”

Qiu Yue, who hurriedly shook her head, massaged her stomach with both hands, and told the truth: "That watermelon is indeed sent to you by my young lady." ”

"It's really the sun coming out of the west. According to the personality of your young lady...... Could it be that she poisoned the watermelon? Trying to murder me? Li Wenxuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Not really!" Qiu Yue, who understands her own young lady's personality, defended: "Although my young lady didn't say it verbally, the slave maid knew that she was making up for her last recklessness. ”

Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, realized that Lin Ruoxi should have recovered from his violent state. However, I really feel unblessed for this kind of girl with a two-sided personality. He thought to himself that if she gave him a worthless object, it would be better than a watermelon. After all, after eating it, it is forgotten. Besides, it is impossible for me to eat alone, so I naturally have to share it with my family.

A thought flashed through his mind again, Li Wenxuan suddenly changed his previous understanding, and concluded that Lin Ruoxi was really smart. Thinking that this is the Ming Dynasty and not the modern era, he believes that girls give boys things, and if they are known, they will inevitably gossip and damage their good reputation. If the other party sends an object, it is easy to understand it as a token of affection. It is necessary to be able to convey the mind without leaving evidence, and it must seem ordinary and not ordinary. Then, giving out watermelon is indeed a good thing, after all, ordinary people can easily afford to eat it, and it also seems that the person who gives the gift is not shabby and stingy, but also very considerate.

Li Wenxuan, who realized that Qiu Yue's tone was tight, couldn't hear the news that he wanted to know the Dao, so he casually chatted with her for a while, and left first under the pretext that he had other things. The matter was done, and seeing Qiu Yue who he had left, it was not interesting to continue to stay here alone, so he held a jar in his left and right hands and walked out of the kitchen.

She had a feeling that she was not a rival, and she hadn't taken ten steps before she met Peony again. The two men didn't say anything, they just passed each other. However, the sharp-eyed peony noticed the joy in the other party's expression and the jar in his hand. Although I was curious, I couldn't help but ask.

I really wanted to know that there was something in the peony medicine that fell to the ground in the altar, lifted the skirt with both hands, and trotted all the way to find his heroine Zhao Tian'er and reported the situation. Zhao Tian'er, who heard her say this, was also interested for a while, so she asked her to take herself to the well.

"Master, that thing is in the well." The peony that pointed to the rope by the well had the experience of taking it out.

"Then you can take one out!" Zhao Tian'er, who signaled that she could do it, said calmly.

Finding that there were only three ropes left at the well, the peony still carefully pulled one rope and took the jar up from the well. Untied the rope tied to one end of the jar, picked it up with both hands and came to Zhao Tian'er's side and handed it over. Zhao Tian'er, who took it, shook the jar for a moment, realized that it contained a water-like object, and took the opportunity to open the seal.

Zhao Tian'er, who also smelled a sweet and pure heart, quickly secreted the saliva in her mouth. Bending down to put the jar on the ground, she put her right index finger into the jar and touched the water, and then put it in her mouth to try the taste. "Wow", Zhao Tian'er, who needed to find someone to share with him if he had good things, immediately ordered Peony, who was standing aside and also smelled the cool smell, and said, "You go and call Sister Su, and bring the cup with you by the way." Remember, take the big one. ”
