People didn't listen, so I could only say that, and immediately drove out of the gate, kicked the accelerator, and drove quickly towards our company.

When I returned to the temporary house, I found that Sister Zhang had already prepared a table of fragrant meals, all of which were very authentic peasant tastes, and Zhao Xiaoyi and I couldn't stop admiring while eating.

Sister Zhang was encouraged, and as soon as she was happy, she went to her room, moved out a large jar, put it on the dining table with a "bang" and said, "Mr. Zhou, little sister, give you a taste of the medicinal wine I brewed myself, it is absolutely delicious." ”

With such a good dish, I was about to take two sips, so I asked expectantly, "Sister Zhang, what kind of medicinal wine are you?" ”

Sister Zhang patted the dust on her hands, and then wiped it on her apron again, and then said proudly: "My medicinal wine, which is made with good rice wine, is soaked with many precious medicinal materials, regardless of men, women and children, it can not only nourish yin and aphrodisiac, but also repel insects and ward off evil spirits. ”

After Sister Zhang finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, took out three soup bowls and a bamboo hanging spoon (the spoon perpendicular to the spoon surface), and then lifted the lid of the wine jar and made three bowls of wine very quickly.

Since Sister Zhang's dishes are really good, I think it shouldn't be bad to brew this medicinal wine, so I can't wait to serve a bowl.

Who knows, as soon as I got closer, I smelled a very pungent smell, I didn't mean the smell of wine, but a smell similar to rotten eggs, and then looked at the color of the soup orange-red, I immediately judged that this wine should have added realgar.

So, I didn't dare to drink it, but put the wine on the table, knocked the bowl with chopsticks and asked, "Sister Zhang, do you have realgar added to this wine?" ”

Sister Zhang took it for granted: "Yes, the people here who brew medicinal wine will add realgar." ”

The characteristics of realgar, not only did I learn in high school chemistry class, but also listened to my aunt often talk about it, it is very toxic, and it must be used with caution, so I reminded: "The main component of realgar is arsenic sulfide, which is not only toxic in itself, but also becomes a highly toxic substance arsenic trioxide (commonly known as arsenic) after heating. ”

Hearing my words, Sister Zhang was a little embarrassed, she originally picked up a bowl of wine and was about to hand it to Zhao Xiaoyi, but now she hovered there with her hands.

I knew that my speech was a bit serious, so I picked up the wine bowl and said: "However, drink less, it should be fine, I heard that people in some areas in the south like to drink this, I'll try it first..."

After speaking, I leaned over to the bowl and took a big sip, but then I almost squirted out, because this wine is not as simple as adding realgar, and I don't know what other medicinal herbs there are, and it tastes really sweet and sour, mixed with five flavors, just like a bowl of bitter medicine soup with a handful of sugar and some chili water, the taste is really very weird.

Seeing my uncomfortable appearance, Sister Zhang seemed a little embarrassed, and quickly brought me a tissue to wipe her mouth, but then defended: "The taste of this wine is indeed a bit strange, people who drink it for the first time are a little unbearable, but they are used to it, my shopkeeper (here refers to my husband), is now addicted, I have to drink such a bowl every day, otherwise I won't be able to eat, so you can drink it with confidence, I promise it's okay." ”

Unexpectedly, at this time, I don't know if it was because of the hospitality, or out of curiosity, Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly took the wine bowl from Sister Zhang's hand, and took a sip on it, but immediately, she sniffled and stared at her eyes again, looking uncomfortable, and it took a long time before she swallowed the wine.

But what puzzled me very much was that next, not only did this girl not put down the wine bowl, but she actually took another sip, and it was a big sip, and then she sniffed and stared, and she swallowed it for a long time.

However, after swallowing it, she smacked her lips and seemed to say with a very retrospective taste: "This wine tastes very special, and it is a little similar to the medicinal wine that my grandfather brewed." ”

Such a little girl made me speechless for a moment, so she picked up the remaining wine in my bowl and said, "Xiao Yi, if it's delicious, you can help you drink this of mine, this is what Sister Zhang worked hard to brew, don't waste it." ”

Sadly, Zhao Xiaoyi not only didn't fall for me, but also poured his own wine into my bowl in one go, so I had no choice but to pinch my nose and drink it.

After drinking, I asked Sister Zhang a little dizzy: "Eldest sister, I heard that this folk drink realgar wine, mainly to drive away snakes, you have a lot of snakes here?" ”

Sister Zhang put away his baby wine jar, nodded and said: "Yes, in addition to the big python you saw in the morning, there are all kinds of poisonous snakes, although the size is not large, but it is more powerful, if you are bitten, sometimes you can't send it to the hospital, and every summer and autumn, if it rains, there will be a snake disaster, and groups of big snakes and small snakes will run to the village, and the villagers will use realgar wine to sprinkle all over the yard to drive away snakes." ”

In this way, I finally understood that as the so-called "one side of the water and soil and one side of the people", the people here brew realgar wine, and it seems that there is a last resort.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaoyi and I did not go out again, but worked in the office, although the emperor was far away, and no one set the commuting time for us, but in fact, we had a lot of things to do, and we had to complete it on time, otherwise it would affect the progress of the entire company's project.

Speaking of which, I had already delayed a lot of things yesterday, so I worked very hard today, and I was busy until more than seven o'clock before I prepared some materials to be reported tomorrow.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoyi sitting in front of the computer, yawning again and again, I asked, "Xiaoyi, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi's face turned red suddenly, he turned his head and rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Did people sleep well last night, don't you know?" ”

I was a little embarrassed, but it was not easy to joke too much with a little girl, so I said very formally: "Okay, then that's all for today, hurry up and go to dinner, Sister Zhang has already called twice, after eating, let's go to bed quickly, and early tomorrow morning, we have to go to the management committee." ”

I suddenly wanted to punch myself in the mouth, what kind of words are I using here, does it sound like a hooligan?

Sure enough, Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes immediately widened, and he shouted at me unceremoniously: "Hey, I said leader, don't think that we are already like that, we can be so unscrupulous, if you talk like this again, I will report to the chairman." ”

I suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to apologize sincerely, but the words I said were a bit like training: "You stinky girl, why are you so sensitive, didn't I make a slip of the tongue?" ”

Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly made a 180-degree turn, made a grimace and said with a smile: "Hehe, leader, if you don't dislike it, it's okay for me to continue to sleep tonight." ”

Jokes can be messed up, but things can't be messed up, with Sister Zhang here, if the two of us enter a room to sleep again, no matter if there is anything wrong, once we are discovered, we will definitely be misunderstood, so, after dinner, the two of us tacitly went back to our rooms.

But lying in bed, I still couldn't sleep, so I read the online novel again, and when I looked at it, a phone call came, it was Feng Tao calling.

It's so late, if I call, it must be something urgent, so I'll quickly connect.

Sure enough, there was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and Feng Tao's voice was also full of panic: "Mr. Zhou, the airport is being attacked by a large number of pythons, and many people have been injured, if you have a way, come and save us, we really can't stand it." ”

When I heard this, I suddenly jumped up from the bed, and did the revenge really come?
