Chapter 63: Wine tasting, which worries her
It's the day of the market again, and Qiao Sheng got up before dawn on this day, carrying a jar of rice wine on her back, and holding an empty jar in her hand to go to the market.
Rice wine still has to be sold, after all, it has to make money. Wait for the beer to stabilize, and then give up the rice wine.
There were still more than ten meters away from the town, so she looked left and right, and then walked into the woods to the right.
After putting down the basket on her back, she carried the empty jar into the space, opened a few bottles of beer and poured them into the small jar, and after pouring about five or six bottles, it was full. After coming out of the space, she put on the rice wine again and walked out of the woods with the beer in her arms.
At this time, it was dawn, and she came to the place where she usually sold rice wine.
As soon as I arrived, a man came. She recognized the man in front of her at a glance. It's the man who ordered rice wine last time and didn't want to pay a deposit.
Qiao Sheng put down the basket and put down the jar in his hand before asking, "How much rice wine do you want?" ”
"A pound." Brain pricked up a finger and handed her the small jar.
"Okay." Qiao Sheng took the jar and gave him a pound of rice wine, "This is your pound of rice wine, sixty yuan." ”
The man had already prepared the money and strung it together with threads.
Qiao Sheng accepted the money, and then asked him, "Do you want to taste the new things I brought today?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you want money?" ”
Qiao Sheng regretted inviting him to taste the beer, but still smiled and shook his head at him.
"Don't want money, do you want a drink?"
When the man heard that he didn't want money, he quickly nodded: "I want to taste it." ”
Anyway, if you don't want money, you won't taste it in vain.
Qiao Sheng resisted the urge to beat him, poured a glass of beer and handed it to him. This time the cup is one size bigger than the previous one.
The man looked at the pale yellow liquid, took the cup and drank it as if he were drinking liquor? Naphthalene mounds? The second era of the cloth is revealed
He raised his head and asked Qiao Sheng, "What is this?" It feels like it's wine and it's not. ”
"This is wine, a wine that is not very good, how do you feel about it?" Qiao Sheng looked at him, waiting for his answer.
The man furrowed his eyebrows slightly, looking very serious, and it took a long time to answer her question.
"To be honest, it's not a good wine."
From the man's face, she saw the disgust, so she didn't ask anything more.
Seeing that she did not speak, the man returned the glass to her and left.
Qiao Sheng took a deep breath and cheered himself up.
"Someone will like it, don't give up."
"Miss Qiao, come up with a pound of rice wine."
It was an old woman who spoke and loved rice wine, and would come to almost every shelf. Every time, I buy a pound of rice wine.
"Grandma, you're here to buy rice wine again." Qiao Sheng smiled and took the jar from the old woman's hand.
"Yes, as far as your rice wine here tastes good, bring me two catties today." The old woman smiled kindly, and it was obvious that she really liked it.
Qiao Sheng heard that the old woman asked for two catties, his hand paused, and then asked curiously: "Mother-in-law, can you buy two catties and eat them?" ”
She was worried that the old woman would have an accident if she ate too much, after all, she was so old, it was okay to try something new.
The old woman knew that she was doing it for her own good, and said with a smile: "I brought it to someone else's house." ”
As soon as he heard that it was for someone else, Qiao Sheng gave it to the old woman with confidence.
After it was served, he carefully hugged the old woman, and finally told the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, hug it tightly."
"Okay, that's one hundred and twenty dollars, you count."
Qiao Sheng took the money, put it directly into his arms, and said with a smile: "The old woman is an old buyer, there is nothing to count." ”
The old woman smiled and nodded, then walked away with the jar of rice wine.
When the old woman had gone, she threw the basket down and sat down.
She was bored watching more and more people come to set up stalls, but she didn't eat breakfast when she went out, and now her stomach is a little hungry.
"Give."
Looking at the baked cake in front of her, Qiao Sheng raised her head to see that it was Xiao Jincheng, she reached out and took it, took a bite and asked.
"Came here early in the morning, could it be just to bring me a baked cake?" In the past month or so, she and Xiao Jincheng have become good friends.
Of course, she knew that Xiao Jincheng had other purposes, but being with Xiao Jincheng was also good for her.
Xiao Jincheng walked up to her, grabbed her back collar and lifted it, and dragged the back basket under her ass with his other hand.
Qiao Sheng saw him sit down like this, his eyes widened, and he looked very exaggerated.
"Get up for me, don't break my back basket."
"I'll pay you one if I sit down, but this back basket is really sturdy, and it's still intact when I sit like this." After Xiao Jincheng finished speaking, he deliberately got up and sat down again, going back and forth like this a few times.
Suddenly, for the last time, the back basket finally couldn't stand the force and went down, and he also fell in.
Qiao Sheng looked at the broken back basket, tightened his hands, and resisted the urge to beat Xiao Jincheng to death. Grinding his teeth, his eyes widened, and he raised his hand to point at him.
"You pay me for the basket."
Xiao Jincheng was embarrassed, stood up from the ground, and said with a sneer: "I will pay, you... Don't get excited, don't get excited. ”
He had seen how powerful this woman was, which was why he was so afraid of her.
I don't know where she learned the strange moves, and she doesn't follow the routine at all, which makes people unguardable.
"Can I not get excited? All tell you not to sit, you still sit, how heavy do you weigh, do you have no b number yourself? After speaking, she pulled Xiao Jincheng away, picked up the broken back basket, and kicked Xiao Jincheng angrily.
Xiao Jincheng jumped away, patted the pants that she kicked in, turned around and said:
"Qiao Sheng, do you know the crime of beating an official?"
"I don't know, you have the ability to arrest me and cut off my head." Qiao Sheng pointed to his white neck.
"You ......" Xiao Jincheng had nothing to say to her, if he wasn't sure of her identity, he wouldn't have been so scrupulous.
"What are you, you go quickly, don't disturb my business here." Today it seems that business is sluggish, it's been a long time, and there are only two people who buy rice wine.
But it's understandable to think about it, who wants to eat rice wine every day, it's okay to eat it once or twice once in a while, and you will get tired of eating it every day.
Even if it's her, she gets tired of eating it so many times a day.
Xiao Jincheng, who was driven away, expressed dissatisfaction, but he remembered one thing. Look down at the things in her stall.
"The last time you said there was something new, what is it? Show me. After Xiao Jincheng finished speaking, he squatted down and opened the two jars.
Seeing the yellow liquid in the small jar, he reached in and tasted it with his fingers.
"Well, what is this? How does it taste weird? Xiao Jincheng closed the lid again, stood up and raised his eyebrows at Qiao Sheng, waiting for her answer.
"Wine!"
Even he didn't think it tasted good, and it seemed that the beer was hard to sell.
When Xiao Jincheng heard that it was wine, his eyes widened, and he took a cup from her pocket. Squatted down and poured a glass and tasted it again.
"What kind of wine is this? I don't feel like I'm drinking. ”
"Beer." Qiao Sheng's face was unhappy.
"Beer?" Xiao Jincheng felt that this name was very strange, it was simply unheard of.
"And what is the meaning of this beer?" Xiao Jincheng asked again.
Qiao Sheng twisted his eyebrows and said, "What does it mean?" ”
"Like a daughter red, it means praying for a healthy life and a prosperous family."
After listening to Xiao Jincheng's words, she frowned again and smiled.
"What else does the wine mean, just drink it."
"Then your wine is too bad to drink." Xiao Jincheng smiled and returned the wine glass to her.
"It's really hard to drink?" Qiao Sheng asked him with a frown.
"Well, it's hard to drink." Xiao Jincheng nodded.
After hearing this, Qiao Sheng lowered his shoulders in frustration and sighed.
"It looks like there's no way to sell this wine."
Xiao Jincheng listened to her muttering and frowned.
"Why do you have to sell this wine?"
"I don't want to sell it, but I can't help it." Qiao Sheng muttered and pushed him aside, because someone had come to buy something.
"Uncle, do you buy rice wine?" She asked the uncle holding the jar.
"Well, can you come for half a catty?" The uncle's face turned pale, obviously embarrassed.
"Yes."
Qiao Sheng took the jar in his hand, divided a lump of rice wine into two, put half of it into the jar, and then filled it with some soup.
"Here you go."
The uncle took out a worn-out purse, poured out all the money inside, and counted the money that was still one penny, and he frowned and struggled for a while to return the jar to her.
"I... I'm not buying it. ”
"How many do you have?" Qiao Sheng pointed to the money he was holding in his hand.
"It's only twenty-nine."
"That's twenty-nine." After Qiao Sheng finished speaking, he spread out his palms.
When the uncle saw her like this, he immediately gave her the money in his hand, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you..."
Xiao Jincheng looked at this person with contempt after leaving.
"Seeing that person is so poor that he has no money, you don't even let go of the last twenty-nine dollars of other people."
"And what do you want?" Qiao Sheng stared at Xiao Jincheng, "Could it be that you asked me to give him rice wine?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Jincheng nodded.
"Huh." Qiao Sheng felt that he had a hole in his brain, "I am a businessman, not a charity." ”
"What is charity?" Xiao Jincheng asked.
He felt that Qiao Sheng was very special, and when he was with her, he could always hear some new words.
"You don't understand." Actually, she didn't want to talk nonsense with him.
"If you don't tell me, how do you know I don't understand." Xiao Jincheng pestered.
"Why are you so annoying, I still have to do business, please go cool, okay?" Qiao Sheng blinked his big eyes.
Xiao Jincheng nodded, turned around and stepped aside.
At this time, there are more people visiting the market. The people who knew she had something new last time also came.
"Miss Qiao, what was the new thing you said last time?"
"yes, I'm here to see what's new?"
"Yes." Qiao Sheng smiled lightly, took out a wine glass and poured them beer.
There were about four or five people, all men.
Some of them really came for the novelty, while others came for Qiao Sheng. Xiao Jincheng is a man, and he can see it somewhat. took a step forward, cleared his throat and brushed his sense of existence, and at the same time reminded some uneasy and well-meaning people.
