Chapter 132: Opening a shop opposite the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop
"Mr. Lu is really a smart person, and he can guess it. I've got something coming to you! Recently, a woman came to the capital, saying that her winemaking skills are invincible in the contemporary era, and she doesn't pay attention to you, the winemaker. The emperor even asked her to send jade ice to the palace. Now the people in the capital only know her wine, but they have forgotten that there was once a real winemaker in our capital. Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
Mr. Lu's old eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of new people replace the old people, and there are many talents in the brewing industry, I should be happy." ”
Mrs. Lu knew that Lu Yuanwai was a conceited and competitive person, and what he said was just a superficial politeness, but in fact, she didn't know how curious she was about Lu Xiyi's jade ice burning. Maybe after sending away their mother and daughter, Manager Lu will go to see Lu Xiyi.
"Manager Lu, I'm not the kind of person who is jealous of the virtuous, it's just that this little woman is too arrogant, and she doesn't even take you seriously. And, do you know, whose shop she just opened? Since Mr. Lu is in charge of the banquet, Mrs. Lu also accompanies him to act.
"Who's?" Manager Lu asked.
Mrs. Lu said: "It's the eldest princess!" The eldest princess is hidden in the nunnery, not asking about the world, and handing over the shop to her relatives to take care of, and now this little woman named Lu Xiyi has taken the ground of the eldest princess alive, do you say you can be angry? ”
In fact, it was the eldest princess's relatives who gambled and sold the shop. Shen Sizhuo bought it, and then gave it to Lu Xiyi.
Manager Lu's face suddenly turned cold: "It seems that this Lu Xiyi is too bold and reckless, and he even dares to ask for the chassis of the eldest princess's relatives!" Could it be that there is someone behind Lu Xiyi? ”
"Who can she have!" Mrs. Lu didn't want to tell Mr. Lu about the relationship between Lu Xiyi and Lu Mingde, "It's just because she brewed the jade ice roast, the emperor drank it a little well, and gave her the title of a royal winemaker, so she hung it at the door of the winery to attract guests." ”
Mr. Lu is very interested in this Lu Xiyi's wine, and it is already good to be able to conquer the emperor's taste buds. He wanted to see this up-and-comer Lu Xiyi more and more.
A grim smile appeared on Lu Yuanwai's face: "If you can, can Mrs. Lu take me to meet this winemaker?" I'm going to taste her jade ice roast, is it really delicious! As he spoke, the corners of his mouth showed disdain.
Mrs. Lu had already prepared, and gave the maid a look, and the maid returned to the car and brought in a small bottle of wine and handed it to Mrs. Lu.
"Manager Lu, this is Lu Xiyi's jade ice burn, you can taste it." Mrs. Lu put the wine on the table and looked at Lu Yuanwai. In fact, where is the jade ice burning, it is just a bottle of wine that she bought casually on the street.
Mr. Lu took a small pot and poured the wine, the wine was slightly yellow, and the wine was very fragrant.
Put it in your mouth and take two bites, but the taste is very bland. Manager Lu showed a smug smile on his face again. Put the wine glass on the table, saying that it is inaccurate, it should be said that it is lost.
"Could it be that the emperor's taste has changed?" Manager Lu pointed to the wine on the table disdainfully, "This kind of wine is also worthy of entering the palace?" Hmph, it's just a deception! ”
Mr. Lu was really fooled, and Mrs. Lu was naturally very proud in her heart.
"We can't evaluate the emperor's taste," Mrs. Lu said, "However, if Mr. Lu goes out of the mountain, and this Lu Xiyi is a town, exposing her hypocritical nature, and letting the world know that there is good wine and Liu Ling is immortal, it will be a merit!" Besides, this Lu Xiyi is so arrogant and domineering, he doesn't even pay attention to the eldest princess, shouldn't Mr. Lu breathe a sigh of relief for the eldest princess? ”
Manager Lu has a good relationship with the eldest princess, and Mrs. Lu knows about it, so she deliberately aroused the eldest princess to arouse the interest of Manager Lu.
Mr. Lu stroked his beard and pondered Mrs. Lu's words in his mind. What exactly does she mean? A woman who makes wine actually asked Mrs. Lu to work so hard and invite him out of the mountain?
"You mean to let me go to her liquor shop and scold her?" Lu Yuanwai looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Lu laughed twice, but in fact, she was just smiling and not smiling. Then, she coughed twice, her eyes were gloomy and sinister: "Manager Lu, let you scold Lu Xiyi, isn't that insulting your identity!" Let me tell you the truth, I have already bought a shop opposite the Xiaoyao Wine Workshop to make a wine shop, if Manager Lu can sit in charge and be the winemaker of our wine shop, then Lu Xiyi's wine shop will not be deserted? ”
Manager Lu looked at the red and willow flowers outside, it was the best time in spring, at this time in the capital, between the red dust and purple Mo, the willow trees should also grow new shoots with the size of rice grains, looking at it like smoke and fog. Whether it is the ladies of the capital or the tourists outside the capital, they all rush to the capital to play the spring. It's been a long time since he's been away from the hustle and bustle, and it's time to go back and have a look.
"Since Mrs. Lu is here, Lu has a very good relationship with Lord Lu before, so I have to give you a face." Manager Lu and Mrs. Lu looked at each other and smiled.
On the car back, Mrs. Lu fantasized about Lu Xiyi being compared to Manager Lu, and she couldn't help laughing.
Lu Xiyi pasted all the ten jars of wine on red paper, with the word "sweet wine" written on the red paper, and instructed Li Xiao to move to the Taiping car.
"Who is this for? Or take it out and sell it? Li Xiao scratched the back of her head.
Lu Xiyi showed a bright smile: "It's going to be taken out and given away." ”
"Giving it away?" Li Xiao saw Lu Xiyi smiling so brightly, and not only thought in her heart, who is the person you want to send, and the shopkeeper Lu is so happy? Could it be a great official, or a close friend?
Lu Xiyi knew what Li Xiao was thinking, took out a letter, and handed it to him: "Don't think about it so much, hurry up!" Remember to give him this letter as well. ”
Li Xiao read the letter before and after, but it was not signed, and he couldn't tell who it was for. "Shopkeeper Lu, if you want to send wine, you have to tell me who to give it to!" Li Xiao spread her hands helplessly.
Lu Xiyi patted his head and blamed himself very much: "Look at me, forget about this!" Send it to the Guogong Mansion, and then give the letter to Menzi and ask him to hand it over to the eldest prince. ”
Oh! This time, Li Xiao suddenly realized! It turned out that the wine was given to the eldest prince Zhong Yihan. Send it, send it, and dodge it, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here!
"Let's go!" Lu Xiyi saw that Li Xiao's eyes were very wrong, and hurriedly urged him to go on the road. let Liu Ji know for a while, and he had to tease her in front of her again.
The car was on the road and came to the front of the Zhenguo Mansion early.
A doorman walked out, pointed at Li Xiao and asked, "Who are you?" What's in the car? What is the matter with coming to the Mansion? ”
"Please give this letter to the eldest prince." Li Xiao handed the letter to Menzi.
Menzi accepted the letter and said arrogantly: "You wait, I'll report to the eldest prince!" Walked to Zhong Yihan's study and handed over the letter, "Eldest son, someone outside will bring you a cart of wine." When I asked him who sent it, he didn't say anything, just handed me a letter. ”
Zhong Yihan already understood who sent it in his heart, took the letter, opened it and read it, and sure enough, it was Lu Xiyi. Because Lu Xiyi promised him to give him a taste of the sweet wine she brewed herself. It's just that because there are a lot of things, the dessert wine tasting has never been done. Lu Xiyi was worried in his heart, so he sent it over.
