Chapter 113: Find a house and make wine
"It turns out that your name is Li Xiao! Strange chic name. ”
Liu Ji said with a smile: "When you hear that there is a word Xiao in someone's name, you can say chic." If you have a grandson in your name, you won't say that someone is a grandson! ”
Lu Xiyi knew that Liu Ji was joking with her, and ignored him: "Li Xiao, what kind of injury did you have, why can't even the doctor control your pulse?" It's so weird! ”
Li Xiao's answer shocked Lu Xiyi: "I'm poisoned!" ”
"Poisoned!" Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji shouted in unison. No wonder the doctor couldn't take the pulse, it turned out to be poisoning! The poisons in the world are so strange that it is impossible for a doctor to understand every poison: "What happened?" How did you get poisoned? ”
Li Xiao is a swordsman, and Lu Xiyi thinks that there must be a very moving story in him.
But Li Xiao didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently: "The past is gone, and you don't have to ask about my past again, okay?" ”
Since Li Xiao said so, Lu Xiyi can't force the other party: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, forget the unhappiness of the past, and face the future with hope, there is nothing wrong with it." By the way, what are your plans for the future? ”
Lu Xiyi's words asked Li Xiao's sore spot. He really didn't know where he was going.
Li Xiao's blank eyes, Lu Xiyi and Liu Ji seemed to read something.
"If you don't mind, Ji will make wine with me, okay?" Lu Xiyi said.
Li Xiao really didn't think about making wine: "In terms of winemaking, I don't know anything. ”
Lu Xiyi smiled tolerantly: "It's okay, as long as you do what I tell you, don't have such a big pressure!" ”
Lu Xiyi not only saved his life, but also gave him a place to live, and it was difficult to express the emotion in his heart at this time in a thousand words: "Thank you for your great kindness!" ”
With someone who knows how to use swords by her side, Lu Xiyi didn't feel anything bad, at least no one would bully her anymore.
Lu Xiyi thought that if he wanted to brew a thousand catties of jade ice roast for Huke, he would need a lot of wine vats: "Li Xiao, if I ask you to move the wine vats, can you do it?" ”
Li Xiao smiled innocently: "Isn't it just moving the wine vat, what's so difficult!" I'll go now! ”
Lu Xiyi hurriedly stopped him: "It's not needed yet, wait a few days!" ”
On the emperor's side, he was in a hurry, so Lu Xiyi first brewed a hundred catties of jade ice and sent it to the palace. But the next step is to brew a thousand catties for Huck, and the situation of the post house is too small! Moreover, the inn is full of foreign guests, and Lu Xiyi burns fire and chops wood in it every day, for fear of affecting the rest of foreign guests, so she thinks about renting a shop outside to make wine: "Li Xiao, Brother Liu, are you free today?" Go out for a walk with me. ”
Li Xiao must be free, and Liu Ji actually has nothing to do, but he wants to go to the restaurant to have a drink with a few friends in the capital: "Not today, how about tomorrow?" ”
Lu Xiyi said: "If Brother Liu has something, go first!" I'm just fine with Li Xiao. ”
Li Xiao is a swordsman, the knife does not leave his body, with him by Lu Xiyi's side, Liu Ji is not afraid of others harassing Lu Xiyi.
"You go early and come back early! I'm going for a drink! Liu Ji said.
Lu Xiyi took Li Xiao to walk on the street and saw a wooden sign hanging outside a tea shop, with the words "sublease" written on it. She looked back and forth at the location, and it was not bad. But this is the capital, and the shop must be very expensive. But no matter how expensive it is, she has to ask about it.
"Hello two, do you want tea? We have a variety of good teas here, you name it. Dr. Tea stood at the door with a smiling face, welcoming Lu Xiyi and Li Xiao.
If you want to ask people for news, you have to eat a cup of tea first. Lu Xiyi walked in and ordered a pot of tea before the rain. This tea has a somewhat burnt flavor and tastes particularly good to drink.
Lu Xiyi took a few sips, chirped his mouth, and became interested in this tea: "Dr. Tea, come over here." ”
"What do you command?" Dr. Tea grimaced and came over to flatter Lu Xiyi.
Lu Xiyi pointed to the tea on the table: "Why is it called tea before the rain?" ”
It was Li Xiao who answered Lu Xiyi: "Probably this tea was picked before the Guyu solar term, so it's called pre-rain tea." ”
Dr. Tea is a person from Zhou Yuan, and when he saw Li Xiao say this, he stretched out his thumb: "This guest officer is really knowledgeable!" Yes, this tea was picked before Gu Yu, so it is called Gu Yu tea. Isn't it delicious? ”
Lu Xiyi and Li Xiao both nodded.
"Why does this tea smell burnt?" Lu Xiyi asked.
Dr. Tea thought that Lu Xiyi was disgusted with this burnt taste, and hurriedly explained: "This tea is fried at home, so it has a burnt taste." If the guest officer doesn't like it, I can change it to another pot for you. ”
Lu Xiyi knew that Dr. Tea had misunderstood what she meant, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" I just love the burnt taste. Don't the other guests like it? ”
Dr. Tea thinks Lu Xiyi is very cute: "I like it!" As soon as everyone comes, order tea before the rain. They said, "I love the burnt smell." ”
Lu Xiyi said with a smile: "Dare to ask Dr. Tea, how to decoction this tea to have a burnt taste?" ”
Dr. Tea scratched the back of his head: "I don't know about this!" I'm just in a hurry to live, and I have to ask our boss lady about sencha. ”
"Can I ask your lady to come out?" Lu Xiyi asked.
Dr. Tea saw that she was a guest, and he didn't want to brush her off, so he went into the room and called out the proprietress out.
"The slave family meets the two guest officers!" The hostess is very beautiful.
Seeing that the proprietress was so polite, Lu Xiyi hurriedly helped her up: "No need to be so polite!" I just want to ask the proprietress, how to fry the tea leaves to have a burnt taste? ”
This asked the proprietress to come to the road, and a confident smile appeared on her face: "This is the law of this family, and it can't be passed on." After the proprietress had said that, she went back to the room.
Lu Xiyi was stunned.
"Shopkeeper Lu, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiao asked.
Lu Xiyi tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing." ”
In fact, she wondered if she could make her wine smell burnt, would it also attract customers? It's just that she has never experimented and doesn't know if it's feasible or not: "Dr. Tea! ”
Dr. Tea came over again, the smile on his face seemed to be sewn on, and he couldn't take it off: "Guest officer, what are your orders?" ”
"Go and call your boss." Lu Xiyi said.
Dr. Cha frowned, he just called the boss lady, and now he calls the boss, these two people won't be here to make trouble, right?
Lu Xiyi hurriedly explained: "I saw a sign hanging outside your door, saying that you want to sublet, I want to come and see if the rent is expensive." ”
Dr. Tea understood, so he called the boss out.
"Are you going to rent a shop?" The boss looks at his appearance, and he is an honest person.
"Exactly. I don't know how much rent I want? ”
The boss sighed and waved his hand, with endless sighs in his eyes: "Not too much, as long as you can sublet it out." ”
In the capital, the ground here is a prime location, and people can't grab it, why does this boss want to transfer out in a hurry? Could it be that the boss has something at home, so that's it?
"You name it!" Lu Xiyi said.
The boss thought for a while: "Two hundred taels of silver a year, are you willing?" ”
Two hundred taels of silver, if it is placed in Liuzhou City, it must be very expensive. But in the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, can you rent a shop for two hundred taels? If you say a little, you will get a thousand taels of silver!
