Chapter 51 The vast sea of people seeks the master
Just when Ah Leng was worried about how to find that person, Lu Xiyi suddenly spoke.
"Ah Leng, I want to make some green plum wine, but this green plum is a little insufficient, can you go out and buy some for me."
"Good! I'm going to go out and have a look! Don't worry! ”
Ah Leng said that, and immediately went out with a bamboo basket to find Qingmei.
It was raining lightly on the street, and it was already a rainy season, and it had been raining for several days, and I hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and even the air was full of musty smells.
But there are still a lot of vendors on the street, and Ah Leng saw an aunt selling green plums at a glance.
He strode to the eldest aunt's side and asked, "Auntie, how did you sell this green plum?" ”
"This guy is really a good eye, my childhood plum is the best here, see you politely call me an aunt, and sincerely want to buy. Then I'll give you a cheaper calculation. ”
"Two pennies a pound, how about it?"
When Ah Leng heard that the price was not extraordinary, the key was that the plum looked very fresh, so he simply bought a few catties.
He took a basket full of plums and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the voices of several thugs scolding.
The most unsightly thing he sees on weekdays is this kind of person who oppresses the people by relying on his own ability, since they have all met him, he must not just let it go.
Ah Leng put Meizi in a safe place on the side, and then said angrily: "What kind of heroes are you guys bullying a person!" ”
When a few thugs heard Ah Leng's voice, they immediately became interested and stopped what they were doing.
"Oops! Lao Tzu wants to see which one doesn't have eyes, and you don't inquire about who dares to care about Lao Tzu on this street! Besides, it's a matter of course to repay debts! Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't control it! ”
"While the uncle is in a good mood at this moment, you'd better drive a fast horse and leave this Liuzhou City, otherwise the lord will see you and beat you once in the future!"
The thug looked at Ah Leng with disdain, and the big knife in his hand kept shaking, which was an obvious provocation.
Ah Leng suppressed his anger and asked: "In this way, how much does this big brother owe you, I will pay it back for me, and this matter is just that!" ”
"Hey! There was a big injustice in broad daylight, since you are willing to give, then you can give it! ”
"Fifty taels of silver, no more than a penny, no less!"
As soon as the thug finished speaking, Aleng untied the money bag from his waist and threw it at them.
The thug untied the money bag with an unbelievable look and clicked it, but it wasn't bad at all.
"Okay! Lucky for him! ”
The beaten man was immediately pushed in front of Ah Leng, and Ah Leng caught the man.
Cold, who was smoky with wine, was about to lose his eyes.
"Drink!"
At this time, Ah Leng still heard the voice coming from the man's mouth, but the man kept his head down, half of his hair covered his face, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.
"Big brother! Are you okay! ”
Ah Leng patted the man on the back.
I saw that the man suddenly raised his head, laughed loudly and said indistinctly: "It's okay! That's how much to drink, let's move on! ”
"Big brother! How are you! ”
Ah Leng asked in surprise.
Only then did he notice that the drunk person in front of him was actually the person he had been looking for but had been looking for to no avail.
Seeing this man drink like this, he doesn't even know who he is.
If you ask him about the events of the day, it will certainly be fruitless, so Ah Leng took him to an inn and settled down, and he will talk about everything when he has sobered up.
When he finally left the inn, he still repeatedly told Xiao Er.
"Don't let him get out of here, just say I have something important to tell him!"
After many commands, he finally left with peace of mind.
Ah Leng, who returned to the inn, did not mention anything to Lu Xiyi about meeting that person on the road, but only said that his money bag was lost.
Lu Xiyi didn't think much about it when she heard this, because the thieves have been rampant in the past two days, and she has heard some about this, so she also believes what Ah Leng said.
Then, Lu Xiyi took the basket of plums and entered the brewery.
Ah Leng patted his heart, sighed and said to himself: "It's good that she doesn't know!" ”
Although it was nothing for her to know about this, the more she knew, the more danger she had, so I thought about it and didn't tell her.
"I don't know what! Tell me about it, brother! ”
As Ah Leng was talking, Xiaomeng suddenly came out of nowhere.
"What do you want to know?"
Ah Leng touched Xiaomeng's head and asked.
Xiao Meng shook Ah Leng's arm and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother, what you just said, Xiao Meng has already heard it!" Just tell Xiaomeng! ”
Tell her?
Ah Leng still doesn't know that this little girl and Lu Xiyi are wearing a pair of pants?
If he really told Xiaomeng, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Lu Xiyi, wouldn't the efforts he had just made be in vain?
But fortunately, Xiaomeng is still just a child, can't he have no way to stop this little girl's mouth?
He squatted down beside Xiaomeng and said softly: "Xiaomeng is obedient!" Actually, my brother didn't say anything just now, but you heard it wrong. ”
"As long as you don't ask my brother this question again, then my brother will sell you three strings of sugar gourds tomorrow, how about it?"
Xiaomeng was stunned, stretched out his little fat hand, and counted his fingers.
"One...... Two...... Three! ”
She was overjoyed when she saw that there were so many sugar gourds, clapped her little hands and said, "Great, Xiaomeng doesn't ask, my brother will go buy sugar gourds tomorrow!" ”
After Xiaomeng finished speaking, he jumped and walked away.
On the second day, before dawn, Ah Leng woke up early and walked towards the inn.
As soon as he arrived at the inn, Ah Leng asked Xiao Er: "That person is still in the room!" ”
Xiao Er nodded.
"Yesterday, since you left, the guest officer, that man has slept until now, and he has not eaten anything at all!"
Ah Leng thought to himself that what Xiao Er said was right, after all, that person drank so much wine yesterday, it was normal for him to not be able to get up.
Thinking of this, Ah Leng immediately walked towards the guest room.
As soon as I opened the door, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.
When I looked up, I saw that the man was lying on the bed and sleeping.
Ah Leng walked over in two steps and shook the man.
The man shuddered, and opened his eyes in a flash.
"You! Who are you? How did you end up here? ”
"Where is this?"
It is clear that this man took Ah Leng for a bad person.
Ah Leng walked up to the man and reminded, "Brother! Take a good look at it, do you really not remember me at all? ”
The man stared at Ah Leng for a long time, but he still couldn't remember anything.
"I, Wang Dafu, have been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have seen countless people, how can I remember who you are!"
Ah Leng held his forehead, but this person spoke bluntly, and it seems that he should be a good person to get along with.
He reminded: "Big brother still remembers a few days ago in Xiaoyao Restaurant, you recognized a running hall as a younger brother, you still have an impression!" ”
As soon as Ah Leng said this, Wang Dafu immediately remembered.
He patted his thigh excitedly.
"I thought it was! It turned out to be you, if you had said that, I would have remembered it a long time ago! ”
Wang Dafu remembered it, and this matter was much easier.
So, Ah Leng told him everything that happened after Wang Dafu got drunk yesterday.
Wang Dafu was embarrassed to hear it.
"It makes you laugh, and when you meet, it makes you break the bank. But don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money. ”
Ah Leng waved his hand again and again, and looking at Wang Dafu's current appearance, he knew at a glance that he didn't have much money and didn't have a serious errand.
"Big brother doesn't have to mind, I came to the eldest brother this time mainly because I wanted to ask the eldest brother something, and I also hope that the eldest brother can help the younger brother."
As soon as Wang Dafu heard the meaning that he didn't have to pay back the money, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "If you don't know anything, just ask me, as long as it is something I know, I must know everything!" ”
Ah Leng was also very satisfied with his attitude, and hurriedly told him all the things he wanted to know and some aspects he was worried about.
"I thought it was a big deal! It turned out to be just a trivial matter, don't worry! It's up to me! ”
"I'll go back and talk to my uncle, I will definitely not let the person surnamed Shen talk nonsense in his ear, there will definitely be no mistakes, so you can rest assured!"
After Wang Dafu finished speaking, he hurriedly drove the fast horse away.
Ah Leng looked at the back of him leaving, and his heart suddenly became a lot more steady.
Ah Leng, who returned to the winery again, was in a particularly good mood.
As soon as he arrived at the wine shop, he kept muttering in Lu Xiyi's ear, saying that there must be no problem with her tribute wine selection meeting this time, and she will definitely pass.
Lu Xiyi listened in the clouds.
"What nonsense are you talking about! The conference hasn't started yet, and I don't have the confidence to do that myself! ”
Ah Liang is still very confident.
Although Lu Xiyi didn't know why Ah Leng was so confident in himself, seeing that he believed in himself so much, Lu Xiyi also had a lot of confidence in his heart.
Lu Xiyi, who was in a good mood, developed three kinds of wine at once.
Because the taste of these three wines is similar, Lu Xiyi can't tell which wine is better, so she simply made a decision, that is, to wait until the selection meeting to bring all these three kinds of wine.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the selection meeting.
Early in the morning, the venue of the selection meeting was surrounded by people who came to see the excitement.
Fortunately, the people who participated in the selection meeting came to the venue early.
Seeing that he was about to take the stage, Lu Xiyi was a little nervous.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll always be by your side, rest assured!"
Ah Leng gently held Lu Xiyi's hand and said softly comfortingly.
Lu Xiyi, who was comforted by Ah Leng, also gained confidence, and finally stepped onto the stage step by step.
"Next, let a few masters taste their wines!"
As soon as the voice fell, several old men with gray beards walked up to the stage.
