Chapter 369: What About Wine?
"Why not?" The county magistrate smiled, "You are the shopkeeper in the deep alley, of course this kind of thing is up to you." ”
"Don't you have to wait for those people to approve of it?" Gao Yuxing asked.
"Shopkeeper Gao, what do you want me to say?" The county magistrate shook his head helplessly, pointing to the team that had not decreased in the slightest, "This lively scene is enough to prove how popular your wine is, and you don't have to wait for anyone to speak." ”
"It's an honor for them to like it." Gao Yuxing smiled shyly.
When the county magistrate heard this, he looked at Gao Yuxing with an unbelievable gaze, and really wanted to ask: "Are you stupid?" ”
The long-term self-cultivation made the county master resist this impulse, and he said earnestly: "Shopkeeper Gao, now is not the time to be happy, an extremely important matter is in front of you and me. ”
Gao Yuxing was immersed in joy, and asked directly without thinking about it: "Lord Li, what does it mean to be closed?" ”
The corner of the county master's mouth twitched a few times, and he said helplessly: "Shopkeeper Gao, there are more and more people coming here to beg for wine, is the wine you prepared enough?" ”
After being reminded by the county master, Gao Yuxing remembered this, couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly a few times, and immediately complained to the county master and left, walked to the few catchers who were distributing wine, and asked one by one.
But after a while, he returned to the county lord with a black face, as if he was afraid that others would hear their conversation, he took a few steps towards the county lord and said in a low voice: "The wine has bottomed out." ”
"I knew it." The county magistrate couldn't help but hold his forehead, he looked at the rows of queues in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh: "What I was most worried about really happened." ”
When the county master was worried, he heard Gao Yuxing's voice coming: "My lord, what can I do?" ”
"What to do? What do I do, you're still asking? The county magistrate was already anxious because he was worried that there would be a riot, and Gao Yuxing's question at this time naturally touched his brow, but he still endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked, "This is your home field, what are your plans?" ”
"It's better to just tell them it's okay, it's ...... anyway"
Before Gao Yu finished speaking, he heard the county master roar angrily: "Are you stupid!" Gao Yuxing, you are a native of Qinxian County, and you naturally know better than anyone how obsessed these people are with wine. If you tell them that the wine is gone, you will anger them. Do you think they will leave obediently? There are a lot of people here, and with the constant tide of people coming here, it is a riot. If there is a riot under my rule, how should I explain it to the prefect? ”
The county magistrate had tried his best to lower his voice, but his roar was still heard by others, and the people closest to him threw inquiring glances at the two.
Gao Yuxing hurriedly handed a reassuring smile to those people, and when they turned around, Gao Yuxing hurriedly said to the county master: "My lord, why don't you deploy some more people over?" ”
Thinking of what might happen, Gao Yuxing's heart couldn't help but feel worried.
"Even if I move the entire yamen, it won't work!" The county magistrate frowned and pointed to the distance, "Look at this black oppression, how many people are enough?" Could it be that you asked me to go to the barracks and borrow someone to come over? ”
Of course, Gao Yuxing knew that the idea of going to the barracks to borrow people was unrealistic, not to mention whether the county master had such a big face, even if he did, he would not dare to agree, not to mention that there was no need at all.
In order to let the county magistrate relax, Gao Yuxing hurriedly continued the words that had been interrupted earlier: "My lord, don't worry, the lack of wine is temporary, and someone will bring the wine in a while, so it doesn't hurt if we tell these people the facts, just wait a little longer, they will wait patiently in order to drink the wine." ”
Hearing this, the county lord's mood finally improved, and his frowning brows gradually relaxed.
But the thought that he had been here for some hour, and that he had never seen anyone bring wine, gave him a sense of foreboding.
To be on the safe side, he asked Gao Yuxing, "Who is the one who sent the wine?" When did he depart? When is the time to deliver the wine to you? ”
This series of questions really asked Gao Yuxing, Xia Yan just mentioned it in passing, and he didn't explain it to him so clearly at all.
"My lord, you also know the person who delivered the wine, it's Xia Huai's kid." Gao Yuxing barely squeezed out a smile, "As for when he will leave and when he will be able to deliver the wine here, I really can't say." ”
"Xia Huai? The elder brother of the shopkeeper Xia. The county master's brows gradually furrowed again, "It stands to reason that the kid is not the kind of person who will be fine, he hasn't seen anyone yet, so he won't encounter any emergencies." Shopkeeper Xia......"
As he spoke, the county lord glanced around, but did not find the target, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the shopkeeper Xia?" I haven't seen her today, so it stands to reason that she should be there at this time. ”
"My lord, what you said is right, the eldest sister did come with me, she is ......" Gao Yuxing said as he looked around, but did not find Xia Yan's figure.
"Impossible...... Gao Yuxing muttered to himself, "She was still ...... just now What about people......"
Without the presence of Xia Yan, Gao Yuxing couldn't help but feel empty, his face gradually turned pale, and he stumbled and said: "My lord, my eldest sister, may ...... may have gone to pick up Xia Huai, after all, he pulled so much wine by himself, and it was normal for the eldest sister to be a little worried. ”
"She didn't tell you when she left?" The county magistrate looked at Gao Yu on the road.
"Probably...... But I couldn't take a break from my busy work, so I didn't say goodbye. A cold sweat broke out on Gao Yuxing's forehead, "Wait, she will definitely bring the wine." ”
"This is the end of the matter, we can only wait." The county magistrate knew the Xia family brothers and sisters, so he put his hope on them, but looking at the gradually increasing crowd, he still had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, before Xia Yan and Xia Huai appeared, the ominous premonition came true.
"My lord, the shopkeeper, the jar is empty, and I can't pour a drop of wine." A catcher who sent wine hurriedly ran to the two of them and bowed his hand.
"Let them wait, and the rest of the wine will arrive."
With the county master to speak, even if he was in a hurry, he could only receive the order, he saluted the two and turned back.
Before he could return to his original position, two more catchers ran up to the two of them and almost repeated the words of the previous catcher.
"Let them wait first......"
Before the county magistrate finished saying the word "wait", the previous catcher hurriedly ran over and said, "My lord!" I told them to wait a little while as you told them, but ......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a commotion from the direction of the team.
"Yesterday, Gao Yuxing promised to give us an explanation, and now I haven't even drunk a sip of wine, where is his so-called explanation?"
"That's it, if you want me to say that this Gao Yu is stingy, everyone is willing to come to line up to give him face, what does it mean to prepare such a little wine? Send Hanako? ”
"I don't care, if we can't drink today, don't blame us for not leaving!"
……
At this time, even if you don't need to explain quickly, the county master and Gao Yuxing can understand what happened.
Gao Yuxing's face was pale, and he kept looking into the distance, hoping to see Xia Yan appear in time to save the scene.
No matter how much he hoped that familiar figure would appear, the result could only disappoint him.
Seeing that the commotion in the crowd was getting stronger and stronger, Gao Yuxing couldn't wait any longer, so he had to come to the front of everyone hard, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be calm, I promise to let everyone taste the deep wine in the alley today." ”
"Shopkeeper Gao, if I'm not mistaken, you promised everyone this yesterday, but what about the result? Everyone has seen that among the people who came, I am afraid that not even half of them really drank the 'drunk confidant'. ”
The corners of Gao Yuxing's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, he really wanted to refute this person loudly, no one would have expected that so many people would come today, how could he prepare enough wine in advance?
Although he was full of grievances and complaints, in front of everyone, Gao Yuxing didn't dare to say the truth.
In order to avoid a riot, he could only smile and say: "It is my honor that so many people came to give me a deep cheer in the alley today, and I was negligent that I did not prepare enough wine for everyone." I hope you can bear with me a little longer, the second batch of wine is on its way here, and I promise you won't be disappointed. ”
"It's okay for us to wait for nature, but ...... There has to be a deadline. If this wine arrives in the middle of the night, are we going to keep waiting? ”
"When...... Of course, I won't keep you waiting. When Gao Yuxing said this, he couldn't help but wipe his sweat with a weak heart.
When Xia Yan and Xia Huai will arrive, he has no idea in his heart, but in order to prevent the worst from happening, he can only try his best to appease the emotions of these people.
"It's best not to let us wait for a long time, then ask the shopkeeper to say a specific time, so that we can have a hope."
"This ...... Wait one more ...... No...... Half a day, just wait another half an hour. Gao Yuxing wanted to talk for more time, but seeing the more and more anxious appearance of those people, he could only change his words.
Although some people in the crowd felt that waiting for half an hour was too long, they were still willing to obey the decision of the public and wait patiently for the sake of that legendary immortal brew.
This half an hour is simply the fastest half hour that Gao Yu feels in his life.
He looked up from time to time, and if it weren't for the fact that some people were afraid that he would run away, and kept staring at him, he would have gone to find someone himself.
Gao Yuxing couldn't wait for time to stand still immediately, until Xia Yan appeared.
But apparently it was all delusional, and the more he looked forward to it, the faster it went.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
