Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 29 The Storm in Los Angeles
After the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, it is the fertile soil of the plains of Zhongzhou.
After three days of trials and rains, Ye Chen and Ye Bing came to Luocheng, which was less than thirty miles away from the imperial capital.
This is a small city famous for wine, very prosperous, full of restaurants and wineries.
"Guest officer, please!"
On West Street in the city, at the gate of a winery, Ye Chen led the horse and followed behind Ye Bing, like an accompanying attendant.
The little second eye at the door was extraordinary, and when he saw a noble girl in a yellow dress, he didn't dare to slack off, quickly dusted off his body, and greeted him with a flattering face, with a sincere smile on his face.
Ye Bing stopped.
After three days of driving, a fast horse died, and finally arrived at the wine capital of Los Angeles at noon on the third day, the physically and mentally exhausted girl glanced at the signboard of the restaurant, glanced at Ye Chen, and asked, "Will you drink?" ”
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded and said, "No." ”
In fact, Ye Chen didn't really know how to speak, but he didn't dare to speak out when he didn't know the purity of the wine in this world.
Glancing at the inside of the winery, Ye Chen guessed that if he rashly said that he could drink, he would definitely be pulled in by the yellow-skirted girl who was the young envoy of the demon department of the official town.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen said decisively: "In the past seventeen years, I haven't drunk a drop of wine. ”
When the words fell, he looked at Ye Bing with sincere eyes.
Looking at each other, the girl blinked, then smiled slightly, and said, "Since that's the case......"
"Little second brother, lead the horse to feed some grass, open a private room, and bring two jars of good wine."
After that, Ye Bing put his arms around Ye Chen's neck.
The boy didn't even have a chance to resist, so he was dragged into the winery.
Get along for three days.
Ye Chen can be said to know Ye Bing well.
A girl who can become a town guard at the age of seventeen can't make people associate it with the words "little jasper".
As the young man saw, when they were preparing to go early this morning, after they found that a fast horse had died, Ye Chen thought about whether to find a nearby town and buy another fast horse.
But the girl said, "I don't have so much time", and without hesitation, she took Ye Chen into her arms and galloped all the way in the direction where the imperial capital was located.
Twelve points domineering!
And it was noon, and they were finally in the city of Los Angeles.
I thought I could have a good rest, but now, a girl's family still wants to pull him to drink?!
The door of the private room is ajar, and the winery is full of wine.
Two jars of sake are placed at a long table.
Ye Chen sat opposite Ye Bing and smiled politely.
In the private room, it was a little frighteningly quiet.
After a while, Ye Bing picked up the wine jar on the table and was about to hand it to Ye Chen.
At this time, a scolding suddenly came from outside the private room.
Ye Chen stood up, and without waiting for the girl to react, he had already walked to the door of the private room.
When I opened the door, I heard a noise downstairs.
"Hey, hey, Ben Shao booked a place here, why don't you tell me that there is no place now?"
A young man in a brocade costume pressed a fan against the chest of the shopkeeper, looking very displeased, holding his head high, and asking with a crooked mouth: "Where is the owner of your winery?" Let him come to me! ”
The shopkeeper's face was very bad, and he never dared to offend the generously dressed drinkers.
"Hey, you dissipate your anger, the little one has already asked the guy in the accounting room to call the shopkeeper, Young Master Li, our winery really hasn't received your reservation, and you don't drink at the Shilixiang Restaurant on the other side of the door on weekdays......"
"Smack!"
Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, a loud bang exploded in the restaurant.
The young man surnamed Li slapped the shopkeeper and fell to the ground.
Ye Chen stood in the attic corridor, looking downstairs, frowning slightly.
He held on to the railing, just about to jump.
But at the moment of getting up, a hand on his shoulder grabbed him.
Ye Chen turned around, saw Ye Bing holding a jar of wine, shook his head, and said: "Luocheng is at the feet of the emperor, and it has its own imperial feather guard to manage this matter, our Demon Division is not a special case, don't cross the line." ”
There was an indescribable meaning in the girl's eyes.
In desperation, Ye Chen had no choice but to nod and promise, and continued to look downstairs.
In the lobby downstairs, the shopkeeper was overturned to the ground, spitting blood, covering his swollen face, unable to speak, and could only stare dryly.
"Oh, you still dare to stare at Ben Shao!" The man surnamed Li lifted his foot and was about to kick it down.
At this moment, a voice came from the inside of the lobby, which was extremely deep.
I can hear that he is a very old man.
The gray-haired old man walked out of the inner hall on crutches, with a gentle smile on his face, looked at the injured shopkeeper, and coughed.
Two sturdy men walked out and dragged away the shopkeeper.
At this time, the old man suddenly spoke: "What is it, how can you make Young Master Li Yi angry?" ”
"Old fellow, are you knowingly asking?!" The corners of Li Yi's mouth were displeased, and he beckoned: "Come on, take out the paperwork!" ”
Before the words fell, the guards accompanying the young man unhurriedly took out a roll of paper from his arms, held it in front of Li Qi, and said, "Young master, paperwork." ”
"Fuck you!" Li Yi kicked the guard holding the paper roll to the ground, and scolded: "Waste things, I don't have any eyesight at all, this document is for the old thing, what's the use of showing me!" ”
After that, Li Yi glanced at the other accompanying guard, raised his head and said: "You go and pick up the things from this waste and show them to the old guy, you are sixty or seventy years old, and you have a bad memory, so don't learn from others to open a restaurant!" ”
After Li Yi finished speaking, the other attendant did not dare to slack off, hurriedly took the paperwork from the guard who fell to the ground, and hurriedly handed it to the gray-haired winery owner.
The old man took the paperwork, squinted at it, and then looked up at Li Yi.
The young man looked confident, and he raised his head and asked, "Old thing, this is the contract document of your immortal drunken residence, right?" ”
"Look at the seal, it shouldn't be." The old man shook his head and shook the paper roll.
The voice fell.
Li Yi jumped up violently, snatched the documents from the old man's hand, and shouted: "There are seals, don't you and Ben Shao say it?!" ”
Li Yi raised the document and shouted around: "Let's take a look, see if this is the engraved seal of the Immortal Drunken Residence!" ”
"Old thing! At the beginning, I negotiated an Accord specially for my Li family, white paper, black and red seals, now I don't admit it, you see, this is the character of Xian Zuiju, backtracking, presumably the wine of this winery is also adulterated! ”
Li Dian said more and more.
In the attic, Ye Chen smiled.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Sounds like it's a problem with this winery......"
"It's not that there is a problem with this winery, it's that kid named Li Qi is looking for fault."
Before Ye Chen finished speaking, the girl behind him said quietly: "Whether this wine is good or not, you will know when you smell it, not to mention, I also drank half a jar, which can be described as a good wine." ”
Looking at the changes in the situation downstairs, I quietly listened to the girl's evaluation of the winery's fine wines.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment.
Turning her head, the girl's face was flushed.
She leaned on the pillar in front of the door of the private room and said with a smile, "See what I do?" Watching the play, that kid surnamed Li will die miserably later. ”
"What do you mean?" Ye Chen frowned, thinking that this girl had drunk too much.
The gray-haired winery owner did not cultivate at all.
And the arrogant young master named Li Qi was a cultivator in the late stage of the Body Forging Realm.
If you want to say that she died a miserable death, if there were no outsiders intervening, it would not be Li Yi's turn.
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly, but just as he had the idea of making a move again, a voice sounded in the lobby again.
The voice was steady, coming from the cubicle downstairs.
"Stop!"
The figure jumped from the cubicle at the bottom of the building, and a man in a pale yellow robe stood in front of the owner of the winery.
He stood up, faced Li Qi, and said with a slight smile:
"Let me see, what kind of miscellaneous hair is saying that the wine of the immortal drunken house is adulterated!"
