Syllable! Lu Ruoling angrily threw the wine glass on the table, broke it, and the fragments scattered, dripping the table with wine.

"Mother!" Lu Ruoling shook Mrs. Lu's arm, meaning what they should do next to fight Lu Xiyi.

Mrs. Lu looked at Manager Lu for help.

In the Xiaoyao Wine Shop opposite, Lu Xiyi raised a cup of sour plum soup, smiled slightly, and then took a sip. In this spring of March, it is really a pleasure to drink a cup of sour plum soup.

However, Manager Lu thought that this was Lu Xiyi provoking him, and he was so angry that Manager Lu blew his beard and glared.

After stabbing it, Mrs. Lu and Lu Ruoling looked at it, and Manager Lu actually tore the window paper.

Mrs. Lu's eyes rolled and she walked over: "Manager Lu, dissipate your anger!" Even if her Hewei wine is better than your daughter's red, what, what's the spirit! "This is Mrs. Lu deliberately rubbing salt like fire.

When Mr. Lu heard this, he was furious. From the time he became the head of Ouchi until he later withdrew from the palace, he lived in a secluded mansion, and he didn't know how many high-ranking officials and nobles visited him, and no one ever provoked him. Today, he was forced to look at by a yellow-haired girl, which is really a great shame.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get out the old wine I've been cherishing for a long time!" Mr. Lu muttered to himself.

According to the ancient books, Mr. Lu made an antique wine. This kind of wine will only be taken out when he meets the emperor. Other than that, no one else has tasted this liquor. However, there is a risk that if it is drunk by a good winemaker and imitated, his old wine will not be worth much.

However, he was already dizzy, and he didn't care about other people's imitations. Immediately, he took the car, returned to his mansion, took out the ancient wine, put it in front of Liu Ling's statue, burned incense and worshipped.

Back at the Freedom Brewery, he wrote down all the materials he wanted to prepare on a piece of paper and instructed the helpers to go and buy them. When the procurement came, he configured them one by one. How many taels of a certain material, how many catties of a certain material, do it yourself. Because, he was really afraid that the recipe of this ancient wine would be known to Lu Xiyi.

The night is as quiet as water, and it is rare to calm down after a day of noisy Xiaoyao Wine. Lu Xiyi observed the free wine shop for a few days, and it was indeed a lot deserted, as if yesterday morning, the wine was no longer brewed. Lu Xiyi thought to herself, could it be that the Freedom Wine Shop was so defeated by her?

However, she vaguely felt that Manager Lu would not admit defeat so easily. But what the hell is the Freedom Wine Shop doing? Why is there no movement at all?

"Don't look at it!" Liu Ji threw a few grapes to Lu Xiyi, "The free winery is vulnerable, and I don't even dare to open the door since then!" ”

Lu Xiyi held the grapes but didn't eat them, and she found that Li Xiao's brows were also tightly furrowed.

"Li Xiao, what do you think?" Lu Xiyi threw the grapes to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao grabbed the grapes in the palm of his hand without looking at them, and then threw them into his mouth, eating them very sweetly. Although the Freedom Wine Shop has been very calm these days, as a swordsman, Li Xiao can feel that there is a terrifying conspiracy hidden under this calm.

"Shopkeeper Lu, I don't think Manager Lu is admitting defeat so quickly, on the contrary, I think he is brewing a counterattack." Li Xiao looked at Lu Xiyi.

Lu Xiyi thought the same way. She called Li Xiao and Liu Ji over, whispered a few words, and the two nodded.

It was a dark and windy night, the streets were quiet, except for the wind, there seemed to be no sound outside, that is, the orchestral sound of the rich and noble people was often heard in the middle of the night, and I couldn't hear it today.

From the wall of the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop, two black shadows suddenly jumped up, both of about the same height, one holding a fan in his hand, and the other holding a big knife in his hand, and jumped lightly on the ground.

Seeing that there was no movement around, the two of them quickly crossed the street, hiding in the corner of the free wine shop. The two jumped on the wall, like cats, and crawled slowly and silently to the wall of the free wine workshop.

Sure enough, as Lu Xiyi and Li Xiao expected, there was a lot of excitement in the liquor shop, and several helpers had a clear division of labor. So-and-so burns fire, so-and-so chops wood, so-and-so washes wine vats, etc. And in a room, through the window paper, Li Xiao and Liu Ji saw a person's shadow printed on it. Suddenly, the man coughed twice, and then a voice came from the room: "Someone, take the ingredients out!" ”

Then a helper said yes and came to the door to wait, but he did not dare to open the door and enter.

"What is this for?" Liu Ji wrinkled his brows and pondered.

Li Xiao motioned for him not to speak.

After a while, the man in the room opened the door, and it turned out to be an old man with no beard, gray hair, and a tall and thin figure. Holding a basket in his hand, and giving it to the helper who was waiting outside, he didn't know what it was.

"I've weighed it, you can take it and soak it for a while, and when the water turns yellow, you can put it in the wine furnace and steam it." The old man said.

The helper took the raw materials and did as the old man said.

"He's Manager Lu!" Li Xiao said.

The Freedom Wine Shop has been open opposite the Xiaoyao Wine Shop for so long, and Liu Ji and Li Xiao have not seen Mr. Lu's face. Liu Ji went to the free wine shop that day, but he didn't see him. I don't want to be such a child-like old man.

Liu Ji snorted, and the corners of his mouth hung with contempt: "He's a eunuch!" ”

If it weren't for the eunuchs, why wouldn't they have any beard at all.

Now Liu Ji and Li Xiao knew that what Mr. Lu had taken out just now was the raw material for winemaking. How many catties and taels of each material should be, Mr. Lu has to do it himself, which shows how cautious and careful he is. This also shows how good the wine he is making now is better than his daughter Hong a few days ago.

Lu Xiyi's Hewei wine can be regarded as meeting an opponent.

Thinking of this layer, Liu Ji couldn't help but frown with sorrow.

"I'll go to the back of Manager Lu's house and see what the ingredients are." Li Xiao didn't finish speaking, so he started to go down.

Suddenly, a figure like a cloud flew over and landed beside them, pressing Li Xiao against the wall again. Liu Ji looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but shout: "Big boy!" ”

"Shh Zhong Yihan motioned to Liu Ji and Li Xiao not to make a noise, especially Li Xiao, "You can't go down!" ”

"Why?" Li Xiao asked.

Zhong Yihan's mask glowed with cold light in the dark night, making Liu Ji shudder. Fortunately, he had met Zhong Yihan a few times, otherwise he would have screamed in fright.

Zhong Yihan said: "Manager Lu is a cautious person, he will definitely prevent someone from peeking at him to prepare brewing raw materials, if you are caught, not only will you suffer, but even Lu Xiyi will be implicated." ”

If Manager Lu sued the emperor and slandered Lu Xiyi's jade ice burning as stealing his recipe, Lu Xiyi would have a thousand mouths and would not be able to argue with himself. At worst, the Xiaoyao Wine Shop will be closed, and at worst, Lu Xiyi and others will be beheaded. Because stealing someone else's recipe to make tribute wine is tantamount to the crime of deceiving the king.

"So what do we do?" Liu Ji frowned, "Looking at the position of Manager Lu, I have to compare it to Xiaoyao Winery." Are we just going to watch Mr. Lu make good wine? ”

Zhong Yihan observed in the patio of the liquor shop for a while, and suddenly his eyes brightened.
