Chapter 37: The Good and the Bad
Xiaojiu retorted: "How can that work? You said you wanted to come with me!"
"If I knew you were like this, I would rather die under Jiang Banxian's hands!"
"You ......" Xiaojiu then grimaced and said, "Okay, okay, don't buy it, don't buy it, let's go find a tavern now, sit down and eat something, you can also take a break, and buy the wine you need by the way, how about it?"
"What's that nonsense! Let's go!" Shao Liang didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Look at you, so fierce, let's go!"
Although Xiaojiu said this, there was a satisfied expression on his face. Seeing this expression, Shao Liang couldn't help but feel a little emotional, this little girl is indeed not bad, if she is destined in the future, it is not bad to ask her to come back to be a mother-in-law.
With such thoughts, Shao Qi used his last bit of strength, as if carrying all the goods in the entire street, and followed Xiaojiu to a tavern.
"Xiao Er, come up with delicious food and drink!"
As soon as Xiaojiu sat down, he said loudly, which provoked the entire tavern to look at it, and when they saw Xiaojiu's beauty, they couldn't help but take a few more looks, but when they saw Shaojiu's embarrassed appearance, they almost all decided at the same time that Shaojiu was the attendant of this Xiaojiu girl, equivalent to a maid, but a male maid.
Shao Liang was too lazy to pay attention to the wine, and when the shopkeeper of the tavern brought tea, Shao Liang drank three bowls in one go, and then smashed his mouth, which was considered to have recovered some physical strength.
Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper brought wine and meat again, and a whole table was piled up, which can be described as delicacies from the mountains and seas, and everything was available. Shao Liang is still quite satisfied with Xiaojiu's arrangement, although he spent his own money in the end.
Shao Liang didn't pay attention to the wine, just gobbling it up, frantically filling his stomach, indeed, carrying so many things all day long, it is false to say that he is not hungry, he should say that he is very hungry, especially hungry.
"Oh, look at you, pay attention to your appearance, it's a person who has come down from Yinxuan Mountain, if he is bumped into by others, he should laugh at us Yinxuan Mountain!" Xiaojiu couldn't help but joke as he looked at Shao Yu's gobbling up.
"What a joke! Lao Tzu is starving to death! Is it possible that you still want to learn from you grinding and chirping here?" replied angrily.
"Huh! You...... You actually scolded me?" Xiaojiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, as if he wanted to ask Shao Yu for an explanation.
Shao Liang didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he just waved his hand blindly and said, "You wait for Lao Tzu to finish eating and then start a war for you!"
"Hmph! unreasonable!" Xiaojiu seemed to be angry, and ignored Shao Liang anymore.
Shao Liang didn't say anything, just cared about his own hard work.
However, a moment later, a person walked into the tavern, who had a hat hanging with a black cloth on his head, and only stayed at Shao Yu's table for a moment, and then walked towards the depths of the tavern.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiaojiu stand up suddenly, then stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said to Shao Yu: "Hey, Shao Baitou, this girl is going to make it convenient, you are waiting for this girl here, don't run around! You must know that this girl's means ......."
"Okay, okay, let's go, grind and chirp! It's so verbose to pee!" said the young man impatiently.
"You...... Unreasonable!hmph!" Little Wine blushed and quickly turned and walked away, walking towards the depths of the tavern.
Shao Liang didn't think much about it at first, but after about half an hour passed, Xiao Jiu didn't come back, but Shao Liang was already full of wine and food, and he thought that when Xiao Jiu came back, he would go to the shopkeeper of the tavern to buy wine, but now that it was getting late, a wisp of sunset had already fallen into the West Mountain, so Shao Yu didn't think much about it, got up and walked to the depths of the tavern.
When he reached the counter of the tavern, Shao Yu knocked on the table of the counter, attracting the shopkeeper of the tavern.
"Yo, has the guest officer eaten and drunk well? We still have an upper room in this store, if the guest officer wants to stay overnight......
"No need. The young man waved his hand and said, "How much money do you count?" I'll pay you first, and besides, I want to buy a few jars of wine from your tavern and take it back to drink." ”
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!" The tavern shopkeeper began to make calculations, and after adding and subtracting up and down for a while, he said to Shao Yu: "Guest officer, you have a total of twenty taels of silver for this table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, I don't know ...... you."
"This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, don't look for it, take me to get the wine now!" said Shao Qi with a wave of his hand.
Sure enough, it is very neat to have money to do things, but I saw that the tavern shopkeeper hurriedly put away the silver ticket, walked out of the counter in person, and led Shao Yu towards the inner room of the tavern with a smile on his face.
"Oh, guest officer! Speaking of this wine, you have picked the right place, and I will not tell you that the wine in the small shop can be said to be the best wine in this city of Xiliangzhou!" said the innkeeper boastingly.
Shao Liang ignored it, and only followed the tavern shopkeeper to a quiet attic at the back of the tavern, which was ventilated on all sides, thinking that it was to treasure the things in the attic, and sure enough, the attic was filled with dozens of jars of unopened wine, as well as piles of unprocessed ingredients.
Shao Liang sniffed lightly, and he could smell the aroma of wine, but Shao Liang's face changed from initial curiosity to later loss.
"Shopkeeper, do you only have this kind of wine here?" said Shao Yu with a little eagerness.
The shopkeeper of ......the tavern said, "Guest, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied?"
Shao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not the wine I'm looking for, so let's do it, you bring me a bowl, I'll taste it first." ”
"Okay!"
The tavern shopkeeper quickly brought a bowl of freshly opened wine for Shao Liang, but Shao Liang only tasted a small sip, then returned the wine bowl to the tavern shopkeeper, and shook his head: "No, no, I don't want this kind of wine!"
The tavern shopkeeper panicked at this time, as if he was vaguely afraid that Shao Yu would let him retrieve the one hundred taels of silver tickets, so he hurriedly flattered: "Guest officer, don't worry, what kind of wine do you want, I will buy it for you personally, how about it?"
Shao Liang shook his head again and said, "If you want to help buy it, it's better for me to go in person, you ...... Is this really the only wine here?"
Shao Qi was almost disappointed, and he was already thinking about quickly shouting a small wine and changing to a tavern or wine shop to buy wine.
However, at this time, the tavern shopkeeper frowned and said, "Guest officer, it's still ...... There's also a wine, but ......"
"What kind of wine, tell me quickly!" Shao Qi suddenly looked again.
The tavern shopkeeper replied embarrassedly: "It's just that the wine is too strong, and it's all for the juniors in the small shop, how can you get into the guest officer's Chrysostom?"
Shao Liang immediately rejoiced: "Quick! bring it to me and let me taste it!"
The tavern shopkeeper was surprised: "The guest really wants that rotten wine?"
"Don't talk nonsense!
"Okay!"
The tavern shopkeeper turned and walked into the attic, and after a long time of tossing and turning in the attic, he walked back with a dusty jar of wine.
"Oh, guest officer, this is the wine that the juniors in the small shop often drink, the entrance is too strong, and no one in the store wants to drink it on weekdays......"
"Bring it!"
Shao Liang snatched the wine jar, opened the seal directly, and suddenly a pungent smell of wine came, the taste was indeed very strong, but Shao Liang's eyes widened in surprise, because this taste was exactly the same as the wine he bought at Uncle Li's wine shop in Nanyaozhou City.
Regardless of the surprise of the tavern shopkeeper, Shao Liang directly raised the wine jar, raised his head, and poured a few sips of wine into his mouth.
"That's right! it's this wine!" Shao Yu happily hugged the wine jug in his arms, his face was full of energy, but his cheeks were already slightly red.
The tavern shopkeeper was dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe Shao Qi's taste, but because Shao Qi was a guest officer who had paid a lot of money, he had to widen his eyes and pretend to be calm and said, "Guest officer, are you sure you want this kind of wine?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shao Qi said, tilted his head and poured another mouthful, and then smashed his mouth and said, "Tut-tut, it tastes so beautiful!
The tavern shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I went to see it just now, and it seems that there are still four altars left!"
Shao Liang said happily: "Can you give it all to me?"
"Of course!" the tavern keeper hesitated, "But, guest officer, this wine is not worth anything at all, and what no one drinks on weekdays is used by some subordinates for entertainment, so you are sure you need to ...... it."
"Don't talk nonsense! Go and bring it to me! Just put it on the table where I had just eaten, and when my friend comes back, I'll take it with me!" said Shao Qi categorically.
"Okay, okay, then the guest officer, you can go and rest first, and I'll get you a drink!" said the innkeeper, turning again and plunging into the loft full of goods.
Shao Liang looked at it, couldn't help but smile contentedly, and then looked down at the only half jar of liquor left in his hand, and his heart almost had a great chance of winning tonight's feast of life and death.
However, just when Shao Liang was holding the wine jar and was about to turn around and walk back to the dining table in the front hall of the tavern, he suddenly heard some noises, at first Shao Yu thought it was the tavern shopkeeper who was churning the wine jar, but when he listened carefully, it was definitely not the tavern shopkeeper, because the voice seemed to be a conversation, and one of them was a woman, and this woman's voice, Shao Yu felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Driven by curiosity, Shao Liang tiptoed to find the sound, and sure enough, behind the pavilion where the tavern stacked the goods, there was a dark lotus pond, at this time, next to the lotus pond, there was a man wearing a hat, and a woman with the appearance of a fairy, and the most important thing was that Shao Liang recognized it at a glance, the woman with the appearance of a fairy was Xiaojiu who had been convenient for half an hour.
Shao Liang saw that the man wearing the hat seemed to be arguing with Xiaojiu, at first Shao Liang thought that someone was bullying Xiaojiu, and wanted to rush out with the strength of the wine, but after a while, Shao Liang changed his mind, because the man wearing the hat seemed to know Xiaojiu, and he was very familiar, and the conversation between the two seemed to prove something......
