Chapter 138: Chief Lu is defeated

"What's wrong with you?" Zhong Yihan saw that she didn't speak, so he asked. Seeing her pouting again, I was even more anxious: Did I say something wrong and make her unhappy?

Another gust of wind blew, ruffling Lu Xiyi's hair, and her body couldn't help but tremble. Spring is coming, why is it still so cold!

In the wind, a Shu brocade coat flew in the wind and fell on Lu Xiyixiang's shoulder. The tight texture envelops Lu Xiyi's warmth and resists the cold wind.

"Don't catch a cold, let's go back quickly!" Zhong Yihan said.

Lu Xiyi was afraid that Zhong Yihan, who had taken off his coat, would catch a cold: "Eldest son, you gave me your clothes, what about you?" ”

Zhong Yihan's eyes were shining, suddenly cold, he took a step, walked like flying, and disappeared at the end of the street in an instant.

The sun is finally out, and the earth is warm. Some guests came to the free wine shop to buy wine, only to see a sign standing at the door of the wine shop, on which it was written today's special: thousand-year-old wine, Liu Ling pinding, no ancients before, no one after the come! That is to say, today a special wine brewed by the ancient method has been launched, and the wine saint Liu Ling has drunk it, which is the best wine ever.

"Boss, let me taste this ancient wine first!" The guest was happy, if there was really such a peerless wine, it would be a tael of silver and a catty, and he also bought it.

Manager Lu thought that there was nothing wrong with his wine, and with a little chin, the shopkeeper scooped a spoonful for the guest to taste first. Mr. Lu drank hot tea and waited for the guests to praise him.

Burst! The guest opened his mouth, squirted a big mouthful, wiped his mouth, and waited for the shopkeeper with angry eyes.

The shopkeeper didn't know what was going on, and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, how is the wine in our free wine shop?" Isn't it mellow and delicious, and it hasn't been so good for five hundred years? ”

"Phew!" The word guest was louder than the sip of wine just now, and his face was not only disgusted but also angry. With a bang, the guest threw his wine glass on the ground, "Did you buy wine too?" Isn't it water? Take water to fool us when we are fools! ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, just sitting at the staircase on the second floor, looking at the manager Lu on the first floor, who was also choked on the tea. Ahem, ahem! One master and one servant, old eyes look at small eyes.

No, this guest must have been sent by Lu Xiyi to make trouble.

Manager Lu's face was gloomy, and a cold glint shot out of his eyes: "The wine I brew is unparalleled in the world, how can you slander it as water!" Outrageous! ”

"It's water, I don't believe you let the other guests drink it." The guest was not convinced, and pointed to the shopkeeper, "You scoop a pot of wine and give everyone a taste." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Manager Lu upstairs, who had gloomy eyes and nodded slightly. The shopkeeper scooped up a pot of ancient wine and put it on the wine table. Then, the shopkeeper brought out more than a dozen bowls and poured half a bowl in a gurgling manner. Before the shopkeeper could say to anyone, more than a dozen customers rushed to take it and drank it.

Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the reactions of the drinkers, his right knuckles tapping lightly on the table, but there was no rhythm.

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, waiting for everyone's answer.

The guest at the beginning asked, "What do you think?" ”

The dozen or so guests just shook their heads and didn't answer the guest's question head-on. After all, the free wine shop was opened by Mr. Lu, and the people who are really good at wine have gone to the Xiaoyao Wine Shop opposite, and most of the people who are still from the wine shop are looking at Mr. Lu's favors. Although there was no squeak, Mr. Lu could already tell from the disgusted expressions on these people's faces that his ancient wine was very difficult to drink.

How so? Could it be that these people were all sent by Lu Xiyi to make trouble?

Until now, Mr. Lu still didn't believe that he had been studying for so many years, and the ancient wine he was proud of was so unpalatable: "Scoop a cup and give it to me!" ”

The shopkeeper went to the wine vat to scoop a glass again, climbed the ladder with a bang, and sent it to Manager Lu: "Manager Lu, please." ”

Mr. Lu looked at the wine carefully, and felt that there was something wrong with the wine. The normal color of his ancient wine should be yellow, and it is more yellow than ordinary good wine, and it is fragrant. But now this glass of wine is whitish in color, there is a lot of sediment, and the aroma is very light. He picked up a chopstick and lit it into the wine glass, and the wine quickly dripped from the chopsticks and stuck on the wine table.

No, no! He thought to himself, his "ancient wine" was very viscous, almost like oil! What's going on? He obviously weighed the ingredients according to the recipe and then asked the helper to brew them?

"What an ancient method of winemaking, it's nonsense! It's nothing more than a money scam. Let's go, go to the Xiaoyao Wine Shop opposite to buy wine, that's the authentic good wine. Even the emperor drank it! One guest took the lead, and the others dispersed after him, running to the opposite side.

Mr. Lu blew his beard angrily and stared at his eyes! Something must have gone wrong! He hurried downstairs, and because of his anxiety, he stepped into the air, and fell to the ground, hitting his head on the wine table, and bleeding all over the ground.

"Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu? The shopkeeper screamed in panic.

The rest of the winery are all former friends and acquaintances of Mr. Lu, and they all come over to help him together.

"Call the doctor!" Someone shouted from the crowd.

Manager Lu was out of breath, staring at a pair of old eyes, still unable to believe that he lost to Lu Xiyi: "I don't believe it, I ...... I don't believe it! Fast...... Hurry up, ......" before the latter words were finished, and they whimpered and mourned!

Here, Lu Xiyi was selling wine, and suddenly a sad cry came from the opposite side, which frightened her heart. Since she was a child, she has been afraid of "death", whether it is her own death or seeing others die.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong over there?" Lu Xiyi asked uneasily.

Liu Ji probed his brain to see, and saw that there were people coming in and out of the liquor shop, and he was in a hurry. There are many guests in the Xiaoyao Wine Shop here, who came to see the excitement, ran over and ran back, as messengers:

"Guess what's going on over there?"

Lu Xiyi, Liu Ji, Li Xiao and others glanced at each other and listened.

"Mr. Lu is gone!" That's humane.

What the? Lu Xiyi couldn't believe that such a remarkable character died all of a sudden.

Liu Ji thought about it, and suddenly looked at Lu Xiyi in fear: "Xiao Lu, do you think that Manager Lu can't fight us, like Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms, is angry to death?" Mr. Lu used to be the emperor's celebrity, and if he dies like this, we will be in big trouble! ”

Liu Ji didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said it, Lu Xiyi was also frightened, twisted his hands, walked around, and muttered: "What can I do now?" What can I do now? ”

"He killed himself, what does it have to do with us?" Li Xiao snorted coldly, "When he opened a winery opposite us, he should have thought that our Xiaoyao winery was not a waste of fame, and the gold medal given by the emperor was not fake." ”

After a while, a few more people came over to tell the details of the situation, and Lu Xiyi only learned at this time that Manager Lu had fallen to his death. At this time, she breathed a sigh of relief and recited Amitabha Buddha in her mouth!

But I thought in my heart, if Zhong Yihan hadn't turned Mr. Lu's ancient wine into water, how could he have fallen to his death? His death still has something to do with her. Thinking of this, Lu Xiyi felt quite sorry for him in his heart. Originally, Manager Lu was over seventy years old and could spend his old age peacefully, but who would have thought that he would meet Lu Xiyi!
