Chapter 456: Spirits Turmoil
"Hey, Xiao Er, what about the wine I want, why can't I come up yet, I'm afraid I won't have any money to give?"
It seemed that he couldn't wait, and the bald head shouted in the direction of the counter again, looking a little dissatisfied, but it was not the kind of person who wanted to bully people, but a person who was addicted to alcohol and was desperately urging.
"Come, come, this guest officer, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, this is the distilled liquor you want. Xiao Er quickly ran over, with a smile on his face, seeing that this strong man was not angry, he secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, and put down the wine bottle and left in a hurry.
"Well, good wine, it's really strong!"
The bald head didn't look at Xiao Er, hurriedly unscrewed the cap of the bottle, and poured a big mouthful of it against the mouth of the bottle, then swallowed it in one gulp, touched his mouth indiscriminately, smashed it, seemed to have endless taste, and praised with satisfaction.
At this moment, Lin Xi, who pretended to be the eldest young master who had nothing to do, looked back at him after hearing this.
However, Lin Xi had a look of disdain in his eyes, and even snorted lightly in his nose, as if mocking this bald head for being a dirt bun.
The bald head has never liked to beat around the bush, and he is too lazy to think about the fancy intestines in other people's hearts, but it does not mean that the bald head is a stupid big strip, with his super strength, even if he is immersed in drinking, he also noticed the gaze that Lin Xi cast when he turned his head.
The bald head is not afraid of others pointing him out, and he doesn't even mind others making jokes about his shiny bald head, once, a naughty child even jumped up and touched his bald head, he just smiled, didn't take it seriously, and wouldn't be angry, however, the bald head is also the bottom line in his opinion.
If this line is exceeded, he will get angry.
This bottom line is that others are never allowed to point fingers at him on the matter of drinking, let alone this aristocratic young man who turned his head and cast a contemptuous look at him.
"Come on, little brother, you have come to explain to me why you seem to be very disdainful of this wine just now, and you are quite disdainful of the way I tasted it?"
The bald head waved his big fan-like hands, and greeted Linsey with a few "come and come" in a row.
Instead, Lin Xi straightened his side body completely, facing the bald head, cocked Erlang's legs, and said softly, his tone was light and breezy: "What I said is this wine, which is not worthy of the praise you just made." β
Although this was not aimed at himself, the bald head was also angry, fortunately seeing that there were many people here, he did not use his strong skills, and directly detained Lin Xi, but pushed the chair under his buttocks, stood up and walked towards Lin Xi like an iron tower, still holding the bottle of wine in his hand.
The bald head sat down next to Lin Xi, put the wine bottle on the table with one hand, and said angrily: "What's wrong with this wine?"
Lin Xi was happy in his heart, it seemed that his guess was correct, the bald head is not a scheming person, and he likes to drill the horns of the bull in some things, and he can take advantage of this to get close to the bald head.
So, Lin Xi turned around again, facing the bald head, Erlang's legs still didn't let go, and said slowly like an old pedant: "This wine is just not good." β
At this time, Xiao Er on the side also noticed the bald head's loud voice, saw the scene at this table, and saw that someone was blatantly saying that the wine produced in his store was poor, so it was okay, this is not a sign of smashing his own store!
So Xiao Er asked the shopkeeper behind the counter who was planning to settle the accounts with his eyes, and after getting tacit approval, he put the handkerchief on his shoulder and hurried to Lin Xi's table, wanting to justify a few words and save the image of the store for the shopkeeper.
However, Xiao Er arrived five meters in front of Lin Xi, and after staring at Lin Xi for a few moments, he secretly sighed bad luck.
Xiao Er is not a fool, this store has been serving all kinds of guests since it opened, he still has some eyesight, naturally understands some people's sophistication, seeing that Lin Xi is dressed extraordinary, his temperament is extraordinary, and he talks well, although it is not very good, but at least he dares to talk lightly with this fierce and vicious bald head, that kind of courage is definitely not something that ordinary civilian students can have, the only explanation is that this young man is a master, an uncle who can't move himself.
Therefore, Xiao Er quietly turned around and threw a look at the shopkeeper, indicating that things were a little tricky.
The shopkeeper is even more human, hurriedly walked out from behind the counter, also carrying a bottle of wine in his hand, smiled and walked to the bald head and Lin Xi, respectfully said to Lin Xi: "This lord, the wine of this store is very famous in the whole Nuoqi City, mellow and thick, after drinking the aftertaste, I see that the master did not want wine, so I specially give you a bottle, I hope you taste one or two carefully, you will know that what the little one said is true." β
The shopkeeper laughed with him, and respectfully moved the unopened wine in his hand to Lin Xi's face. He said respectfully and politely, it was nothing more than a fact that was soft and hard: I dare to love you without ordering wine, just make a big fuss here, then I will be polite first, send you a bottle of wine to taste, and gag your mouth first, so that the ceremony is by my side, and I am not afraid of you making trouble.
It's a pity that the shopkeeper's abacus was wrong.
Lynsey wasn't here to make trouble to discredit the shop.
So Lin Xi smiled, and politely picked up the wine and returned it to the shopkeeper, saying: "Shopkeeper, you misunderstood what I meant, the wine in your store is good, but when it comes to strongness, I'm afraid it's a little bit hot, I'm not wrong, right?"
The bald head looked at the wine, and then looked at Linxi, only to remember what he said when he praised this wine before, "This wine is strong enough", dare to love, this young man did not think that the quality of the wine was not good, nor did he think that his wine tasting skills were not good, but thought that the wine was worse in terms of strength, so the bald head temporarily discarded his anger, showing an interested look and preparing to listen to Linsey say one, two, three, four.
The shopkeeper's face changed, and he said: "There are a lot of wines in the shop, both sweet and low-degree, of course, there are also strong wines like this high number for sale, how can you say that this wine is lacking in strongness?"
Lin Xi was not angry, he withdrew Erlang's leg and deliberately stretched his waist, squinted at the shopkeeper and said lightly: "But in terms of spirit, do you dare to say that this wine is comparable to the burning knives sold by Ruyi Restaurant in the east of the city?"
The shopkeeper hadn't spoken yet, but when he heard it, his bald head was happy, and he looked at Lin Xi and said hurriedly: "What kind of Ruyi restaurant, there is even more strong wine than this wine?"
After finishing speaking, the bald head glared at the shopkeeper again, and shouted with some annoyance: "Shopkeeper, before entering the store, you patted your chest and promised that the wine sold in this store is the strongest and strongest in the whole Nuoqi City, what's the matter, is it possible that the shopkeeper is talking nonsense with his eyes open in broad daylight?"
As soon as the bald head gets angry, the momentum on his body naturally exudes, and the bald head is already born with a fierce and vicious appearance, so the momentum is very scary.
The shopkeeper's legs weakened, and he argued strongly: "This guest officer, I don't dare to lie to you! The popular liquor in our Nuoqi City is distilled liquor, which is produced locally, called brandy, and the burning knife from the Ruyi Restaurant is a foreign product, and I heard that some people from the east use sorghum or something to ferment it, and it is not at all in the eyes of the residents of Nuoqi City in ordinary times. β
When the bald head heard this, the excitement still did not fade, and he asked: "You just need to say whether the burning knife is stronger than this brandy." β
"This," the shopkeeper glanced at Lin Xi, knowing that it was not okay to tell a lie, so he said with a smile on his face: "That wine really can't be integrated into the mainstream atmosphere of our Nuoqi City, and the production process of that wine is not hygienic." β
The bald head didn't bother to ask about this, but shouted again: "That means the burning knife is stronger than this wine?"
The shopkeeper nodded helplessly.
"Hmph! Of course, the first time I came to Nuoqi City, I had to drink the strongest wine, no matter what bullshit mainstream or not, forget it, you also want to make money, I'm too lazy to make it for you, give, this is wine money. The bald head muttered a word of obscurity, took out a silver coin and threw it on the table.
The shopkeeper secretly said that he was lucky, and he didn't dare to explain again.
The bald head immediately looked at Lynsey.
"This little brother, there were many offends in his words just now, and I ask the little brother not to mind. β
Lin Xi saw that the bald head liked to go straight, so he laughed very presumptuously, waved his hand, and said: "Where, just because I am also a wine lover, I can't see you when you first come to Nuoqi City, I wanted to taste the strongest wine in the city but was fooled." β
Lin Xi then boldly proposed: "Otherwise, it just so happens that I am familiar with that Ruyi restaurant, or we will try it together!"
"That's a good dare!" the bald head patted his thigh, with an excited smile on his face, obviously Linxi's cheerfulness and sincerity made him feel good, so as Linxi stood up, "Then trouble little brother." β
So, the two of them left the shopkeeper who was silent on the side and walked outside.
After arriving outside, Lin Xi said to the bald head: "The shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant is an outsider, and he can't stand in Nuoqi City, so that shop is not well-known, and the general coachman doesn't know about it, so I have to ask you to walk with me." β
The bald head waved his hand and said, "What does it matter, as long as there is good wine to drink." By the way, how did the little brother find out about that Ruyi restaurant?"
"I'm a person who has nothing to do on weekdays, and I don't like to do anything to find flowers and ask willows to get flowers and grass, but I like to wander around and drink, a few years ago, I accidentally went to the east of the city, and found the store, but now I haven't been there for more than half a year, and I miss the burning knife. β
"Oh. β
The bald head answered, dispelling the last trace of suspicion.
The bald head is not a fool, and at first he also doubted Lin Xi's intentions, especially when he saw Lin Xi dressed as a broad young master, but he did not have any servants when he traveled, which was very different from the style of the prince and brother in the imperial capital, but after listening to Lin Xi's explanation, he realized that this little brother was actually his own colleague.
What's more, the bald head also secretly checked this person's strength, and found that this person was only a fire attribute martial artist with a strength of about the fourth order, and his strength was mediocre, which was very consistent with the identity of a son.
Therefore, the bald head no longer doubts, but put his mind on the burning knife that he was about to taste.
Lin Xi didn't know that the bald head had already suspected and verified himself, but he believed that he was well disguised, and his words did not reveal any problems, which matched his current identity as a gentleman, and he also successfully suppressed the anger in his heart, no matter how powerful the bald head was, he didn't know that he was the descendant of the Five Elements Elf Clan!
"Let's go. β
Lin Xi led the way in front, leading the bald head who had just come to Nuoqi City all the way through the streets and alleys, and walked for about ten minutes before stopping in front of a private house on the left hand side of an alley.
"That's it. Lin Xi pointed to the wine flag hanging in front of the house and said, the white flag with four big red characters "Ruyi Restaurant" written on it, swaying in the breeze blowing from the alley, with the activity of the wind, a strong aroma of wine has hit the nose.
Before entering the door, the fragrance was already welcoming customers, which made the bald head very happy, and he couldn't wait to step in first.
