Chapter Ninety-Seven: Willing to Gamble and Lose
"Your pulse is a little slippery and stagnant, it should be because of the deep poisoning, drink three taels of antidote wine!" Lu Xiyi touched someone's wrist and said.
The other party nodded, with palpitations.
"Fortunately, Miss Lu came to the capital in time, otherwise I wouldn't have to braid!"
Lu Xiyi smiled and patted the other party's hand.
"It's your lucky star! Come, pour him three taels of antidote wine to drink. ”
Liu Ji promised from the side: "Okay! ”
He usually calls others, but now he is willing to be called by Lu Xiyi, after all, this is saving people, and he doesn't care whether he is a young master or not.
Scoop out a spoonful of wine from the pot at the moment, pour it into a wine cup in three or two, and hand it to the person.
"Drink the wine, and your poison will be cured!"
The other party was happy, picked up the wine glass and grunted, the fragrant wine slid into his throat, and there was not a single pore in the body that was uncomfortable, which was really fragrant.
After drinking, he kowtowed to Lu Xiyi, with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you Miss Lu for saving your life!"
This gift is too big for Lu Xiyi to afford.
"Hurry up, hurry up! I also do what I can, why should this big brother make such a big gift, this is a torment for the little woman! ”
The man patted his heart.
"If Miss Lu has anything in the future, you can come to Wangjiazhuang to find me, I can help, I will definitely help!"
The man thanked him again before leaving.
"It's me, it's me!" The other person couldn't wait to sit down, stretched out his hand, and laid it flat on the table, "Miss Lu, you give me a pulse." ”
Lu Xiyi checked the pulse of more than a dozen people and asked them to drink the detoxification wine, and he was also tired and sweaty, and his back hurt. She hadn't eaten anything until now, her stomach was rumbling, and her brain was heavy.
Liu Ji found that Lu Xiyi's eyebrows were dark, and knew that she must be tired.
"Xiao Lu, there are still more than 20 people waiting for you to take the pulse, why don't you eat first, and then check the pulse before it's too late!"
Lu Xiyi took a look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of people queuing up, extending all the way to the outside of the post house. She didn't want to rest, but she was afraid that Su Hexiang's matter would leak out, and someone in the palace would arrest her, and these people would not be able to save her!
"I'll keep going!" Lu Xiyi cast a grateful look at Liu Ji.
By the time those people had drunk the detoxification wine, it was already ten years old. Lu Xiyi stood up and stretched his waist and yawned.
"It's finally over! I'm so tired! ”
Liu Ji looked at her distressedly.
"I told you a long time ago, eat first and then rescue, you don't listen!"
"You don't see the way they look when they are eager to drink the antidote wine, how pitiful!" Lu Xiyi said, "I'm just working harder, so what's the matter!" As long as I can save them, my heart will be happy. ”
Liu Ji sighed.
"You are the living bodhisattva of the world!"
Lu Xiyi stuck out his tongue.
"It's not a metaphor! Guanyin Bodhisattva saves suffering, how can I compare with her! You're giving me the creeps, for example. ”
Liu Ji felt more and more cute about Lu Xiyi.
"I think that if Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to become a girl in the world to explore the people's feelings, he will definitely become like you."
Lu Xiyi, who said it, was shy and lowered his head.
"Okay, brother, please go to the restaurant for dinner and make up for you!" Liu Ji took Lu Xiyi's hand and left.
"Wait!" But I saw a tall man blocking the way, blocking the way, and his deep eyes only looked at Lu Xiyi, "I heard that you are very good at making wine?" ”
This person has deep eyes and a high nose, a well-defined silhouette, and golden hair, and he is not from Yongguo at first glance. At first, he looked surprised, and then the question he asked was also very abrupt.
Lu Xiyi thought for a moment and clasped his fists in salute.
"The little girl's family makes wine, and she opened a winery by herself, but she only takes advantage of some silver to live, and she can't say that she is very good at winemaking."
Listening to the other party's words, it is not good to come, Lu Xiyi does not dare to be too arrogant, so he speaks very low-key and modest.
The other party's eyes looked at the wine on the stove.
"Can I taste it?"
Lu Xiyi smiled: "As long as there is leftover, you can drink it." ”
The other party rolled up his sleeves and scooped a spoonful, drank directly to the spoon, licked his mouth, and snorted.
"Is this also called wine?"
Liu Ji was angry.
"Hey, brother, I don't think you're a native of the country, so I'm very polite to you. However, if you are willing to come, don't blame me for being rude! ”
The other party's expression was very serious.
"I'm telling the truth, this kind of wine is not drunk in our country, dogs don't drink it!"
Lu Xiyi smiled, dogs naturally don't drink. However, what the other party said was also right, the Suhexiang wine brewed by Lu Xiyi was only for detoxification, not for tasting on weekdays. It seems that the person in front of him is quite knowledgeable about alcohol.
People who know wine, in Lu Xiyi's opinion, are all friends.
"The little girl's wine is really bad, and the heat of my wine is indeed not to the point of perfection, I don't know if this big brother can give me some advice?"
"Xiao Lu, you ......" Liu Ji thought that the other party had come to make trouble at all, so there was no need to be too polite to him.
The other party laughed heartily, very hearty.
"For your humble attitude, I can give you some pointers. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Huck, from the ancient country of the Western Regions, our people there, all of them drink, they are babies who have just come out of their mother's womb, and they also have some wine in the fresh milk, so that he can drink it, so that he will not cry! ”
It turned out to be a person from the Western Regions, no wonder you can enter the post house!
Liu Ji sneered at Huck's words.
"Brother, don't brag to the sky! How have you ever seen a baby drinking! ”
"I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to our country when I have time." The other party was furious.
The Western Regions are so far away, it takes a year to go back and forth, is it worth taking a trip for this little thing?
"You are really a little ashamed, I personally think that within a hundred miles of Liuzhou City, there is no one who brews better wine than Xiao Lu's!" Liu Ji was on the other side.
Lu Xiyi pulled Liu Ji and asked him to say less, but Liu Ji's temper was also very difficult.
Huck looked at Lu Xiyi suspiciously.
"Are you a master brewer within a hundred miles? I don't believe it, let's bet! ”
Lu Xiyi is afraid of betting, and it is not bad for anyone to lose face.
Liu Ji came to the momentum.
"Bet on it, bet on it, how do you say bet?"
Huck said: "Today we will go to purchase wine materials, tomorrow we will set up a stove in front of the post house, brew a good wine in front of everyone in the capital, and then let the people in the capital taste it, let them taste it." ”
"It's a deal!" Liu Ji promised Lu Xiyi, "What if you lose?" ”
Huck thought he was going to lose, and thought about it.
"If I lose, I'm willing to give this young lady a hand! And tell you all the ancient recipes I know! After a pause, he asked Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji rhetorically, "What if you lose?" ”
Lu Xiyi also pondered a little.
"If I lose...... I worship you as a master! ”
"Good! Hahahaha! "Huck Lehe, he can't accept such a beautiful female apprentice, what is he not happy about.
As soon as Huck left, Guan Cheng walked in and pointed at Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji: "Do you know who the person who spoke to you just now?" ”
Lu Xiyi also wanted to know.
"Who is it?"
"He is the envoy of the Li Kingdom, our emperor's honored guest, how can you two talk to him like this? If he is not happy and sends troops to invade the territory, you will be sinners for the ages! ”
