"Xiyi, in fact, Mingde called you here today to discuss something with you." Mrs. Lu saw hatred in Lu Xiyi's eyes, she didn't dare to look at Lu Xiyi, her eyes fell on Lu Mingde, "Mingde, don't you have something to say to Xiyi." As he spoke, he pulled Lu Xiyi back to his seat.

"Xiyi, I always think of your mother these days, and I always feel sorry for her in my heart." Lu Mingde said extremely sincerely, his eyes flashed with tears, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Not only am I sorry for your mother, but I am also sorry for you." ”

Lu Xiyi looked at Mrs. Lu next to him, and was moved by Lu Mingde's words, and wiped his tears with his sleeve covering his face.

Lu Mingde sighed, his eyes looked at the sparkling river outside the window: "Your mother has already gone, and it's too late for me to make amends, but you're still there." So I want to be kind to you, so that my conscience can be calm. ”

If Lu Mingde had thought so, would the father-daughter relationship between them be so stiff. Lu Xiyi didn't speak, and continued to listen to what Lu Mingde was going to say next.

"Xiyi, now your wine shop is not only for the palace, but also for the citizens of the capital, and even foreign merchants come to buy wine from you. I see that you get up early every day and are greedy for darkness, tired and tired, and your heart is very uncomfortable. So I want to take some of the pressure off for you. Lu Mingde said extremely sincerely.

Lu Xiyi still didn't speak, considering Lu Mingde's words.

Mrs. Lu was afraid that things would not be in harmony, so she beat the drum on the side again: "Your father also talked to me last night, if he opened a branch of Xiaoyao Wine Fang, specializing in supplying wine for the citizens of the capital, and you here, you will concentrate on supplying Ouchi, so you will save a lot of things." Of course, you still make the recipe for the wine in the winery, and you make a lot of the money. ”

What's so bad about opening a branch if you can really open a branch? Lu Xiyi's frowning brows gradually dispersed.

"I'm optimistic about the place!" Lu Mingde said.

Mrs. Lu is good at observing words and feelings, and when she saw Lu Xiyi's eyebrows gradually expanding, she hurriedly poured wine for Lu Mingde and Lu Xiyi: "You father and daughter have a drink, I wish you father and daughter a better and better relationship, and the business of the branch and the head office is getting more and more prosperous!" ”

Lu Mingde's face was full of joy, but Lu Xiyi was half-pushing, and the wine glasses touched in the air, making a crisp sound, and the background of the sound was Mrs. Lu's evil smile.

After the decoration of the branch store, it will be opened for business, and the name of the store is also called Xiaoyao Wine Fang, and the people of the capital come here, and the business is no less prosperous than the main store.

Every day, Lu Xiyi will prepare the materials and ask Liu Ji to send them to the branch. The guys at the branch took Lu Xiyi's ingredients to brew famous liquors such as Yubing Yao, Hewei Liquor, and Lotus White.

On this day, Liu Ji was wandering on the street, and suddenly a man bumped into him head-on. Liu Ji was about to scold, but the other party pointed at him and smiled: "Aren't you the second master of Xiaoyao Wine Shop, Brother Liu?" ”

It is a great honor for someone to know him in the capital, enough for Liu Ji to be stunned.

"Yes, I am Liu Ji, the second master of Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, do you know me?" Liu Ji opened the folding umbrella with a pop and fanned it proudly.

The other party smiled: "Now the people in the capital, who doesn't know the name of Xiaoyao Wine?" If you don't hear it, even the ghosts of the underground know it! I'm Li Si, a buddy from the branch, you don't have an impression of me? ”

"No nonsense!" Liu Ji took the fan and hit it on the other party's head, then laughed, looked at the other party, and it was really Li Si, the guy of the branch, "Who should I be, it turned out to be you!" ”

Li Si wanted to drag Liu Ji to the restaurant to drink anyway, and he was half drunk, Li Si suddenly rolled his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Brother Liu, I don't know if I should say something or not." ”

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." Liu Ji picked his teeth with a toothpick, looking full of wine and food.

Li Sidao: "Then I'll just say it!" Although you are the owner of the Xiaoyao Distillery, I don't think you know the recipe of the Xiaoyao Distillery's wine. Shopkeeper Lu is delicate, and he will definitely not tell you the secret recipe. ”

Doesn't this mean that Liu Ji is annoying when he is at ease, but it is dispensable!

"Who said I didn't know the recipe for the wine?" Liu Ji slapped the table with a slap, almost shaking the dishes on the wine table to the ground, "Lao Tzu told you, it is the recipe for jade ice roasting, and I know it too!" Anyway, you're also from our Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, so I'll write it to you, and it's okay! ”

Li Si looked disapproving. This angered Liu Ji, and immediately ordered the shopkeeper to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. After a meal of wind and rain on the white paper, Liu Ji not only wrote down the recipe for the jade ice burning, but also wrote down the lotus white and the wine before the rain. After writing, Liu Ji poured down on the wine table and fell asleep.

Li Si's eyes lit up, rubbed his hands, picked up the paper, dried the ink, put his sleeves in his cuffs, and said to Liu Ji: "Stupid, thank you!" He turned around and walked down the restaurant.

Li Si disappeared at the door, Liu Ji woke up, stretched his waist, and the corners of his mouth curled up like a crooked moon: "I should say thank you, stupid!" Just a little wine, you want to drink me? Joke! ”

With a pop, Liu Ji opened the folding fan, shook his head, and Youzai Youzai left the restaurant and returned to the main store of Xiaoyao Wine. Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan are there. As soon as she saw Liu Ji with a smile on her face, Lu Xiyi knew that her plan had succeeded.

"Brother Liu, you are so happy, there must be something good to tell me." Lu Xiyi said.

Liu Ji sat next to her, crossed his legs, and shook his fan: "Xiao Lu, just now Li Si invited me to the restaurant for dinner, and asked me to write a wine recipe if I said it." ”

Lu Xiyi and Zhong Yihan looked at each other, and both of them knew that Li Si was instructed by Lu Mingde and Mrs. Lu. Lu Mingde began to help Lu Xiyi, and the ultimate goal was just to set Lu Xiyi's secret recipe.

"Did you give Li Si?" Zhong Yihan asked.

Liu Ji nodded his chin: "Didn't Xiao Lu ask me to agree?" This time, we have a good show to watch. ”

Zhong Yihan looked at Lu Xiyi, there was no trace of a smile on her face, but a little bit of sentimentality.

A few days later, Xiaomeng suddenly ran back from the street, as if he had encountered some danger.

"Xiaomeng, what's wrong with you?" Liu Ji smiled, "Could it be that someone stopped you on the street and wanted to kiss you?" ”

This was too frivolous and rude, and Lu Xiyi, Li Xiao and the others all widened their eyes.

Xiaomeng stuck out his tongue at Liu Ji: "You are a big-headed ghost!" Uncle Zhang and I were strolling on the street to buy groceries, and suddenly we saw a winery open for business, and the main wines were also jade ice roast, lotus white, and various fruit wines. I saw how the names of those wines were so similar to those of our Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, so I ran back to tell Sister Lu. ”
