Chapter 196: Evergreen Tavern
"Tavern?"
Zhang Fuguang was surprised: "Mr. Changqing can also make wine?" ”
"Yes." Li Changqing himself is not a good drinker, but in his previous life, Li Changqing's father-in-law opened a small winery at home, and Li Changqing helped for a while at that time.
So the basic process is understood.
When he was in the Yan family before, Li Changqing also tried to do some, and the things were all brought over by Li Changqing in the ring.
At the same time, some of the food I made before was also put in.
Moreover, the wine of this Cangyuan realm is relatively low in degree, and the wine of the ancients is the same, Li Changqing is ready to try to use grain to brew some people with a high number, there will always be people who will like it.
Li Changqing originally wanted to take out a jar of wine from the ring and give it to Zhang Fuguang to taste, but after taking a look at the ring, he realized that the body of the killer of the Blood Shadow Gate that he killed yesterday was still in his ring.
Nothing of value was found in this killer's body.
"Hey, it's not easy to do what you do." Li Changqing couldn't help but sigh again, and then dug a pit in the backyard and buried it.
Slowly.
A few days later.
In Ziwu City, this place called Tonghua Lane opened a tavern in obscurity, called Changqing Tavern.
There was no movement at the time of opening.
The tavern flag was hoisted, and then it opened silently, and the shop was very clean with six tables.
Then there are several signs hanging on the wall.
The names of several dishes are written.
In addition, there is the main wine of the Evergreen Tavern.
One of them is called Peach Blossom Stuffing.
The other is called burnt knives.
These two wines are highly numerous, but the taste is completely different, and Li Changqing tasted it for Zhang Fuguang after brewing it.
Peach blossom brewing contains a peach blossom aroma, the wine is exceptionally mellow, and the taste of the wine is very soft, making people feel like a spring breeze.
And burning knives is different, the degree is higher, and when you take a bite, the spicy feeling goes straight to the brain, and there is a knife-like murderous atmosphere!
Still, there is a feeling!
Heroic!
Both wines have different performances, but Zhang Fuguang is also shocked, this is the best wine he has ever drunk in his life!
The strongest wine he'd ever drunk before wasn't half as good as these two!
Li Changqing said that it was normal, because both kinds of wine were above 50 degrees.
And among the few small dishes hanging in the store, Li Changqing also hung very simple cold dishes.
Fried peanuts.
Pat the cucumbers.
Tiger pepper preserved eggs.
Beef sauce.
These dishes are relatively simple, as for preserved eggs, they were pickled a lot when Li Changqing was in Yan's house before, and they were ready to be eaten by themselves, and now they are brought out and sold in the store.
There is no such thing as preserved eggs in the Cangyuan Realm.
Zhang Fuguang was also curious about this dish before, so Li Changqing made a preserved egg for Zhang Fuguang to try.
Zhang Fuguang chewed one directly, almost not vomiting.
That taste really made him a little unacceptable.
Zhang Fuguang bluntly said that no one will eat this kind of thing at all.
But when Li Changqing made tiger skin green peppers, then cut the preserved eggs, and matched them with the sauce made of aged vinegar and other seasonings, it made the taste of this dish change dramatically.
Let Zhang Fuguang call it magical.
Light rain continued.
It's pouring down.
The entire city of Ziwu has also become particularly quiet.
Li Changqing sat at the door and counted the days, calculating that Li Hengsheng should have about twenty days before he arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion.
Two days ago, Li Changqing wrote a letter.
One of them was sent to the Great Yuan Dynasty and sent to Yuan Wudi.
It was written in the capacity of Qinglian Sword Venerable, hoping that Yuan Wushu could let the disciples of the Great Yuan Dynasty stationed in the Zhenguo Mansion take more care of Li Hengsheng.
Originally, there was another letter addressed to Zhang Muzhi.
But after thinking about it, he was now in the Northern Cold Country, so he simply went directly.
However, when Li Changqing arrived in the imperial city, he found that Zhang Muzhi was actually in retreat.
Since he didn't see Zhang Muzhi, Li Changqing also came back.
Another disciple stationed in Zhenguo Mansion is a disciple of the Shao family, who is not familiar with Li Changqing of the Shao family, and the Shao family did not participate in the previous ghost trial.
"Mr. Evergreen."
At this time, Zhang Fuguang walked up, looked at the rain outside, and said, "We have been open for three days, but no one has come. ”
"Isn't this place too remote?"
"It's okay if no one comes, it's pure." Li Changqing said with a smile: "Anyway, I don't expect to make much money." ”
"That's right."
Zhang Fuguang nodded.
The raindrops are falling, but it seems extraordinarily calm.
Li Changqing sat on the small rattan chair, but he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
It was past noon.
The rain was still falling, and there was not a single figure in the entire Tonghua Alley until the afternoon.
And at this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance.
I saw a burly strong man running from a distance, his face was flustered, and when he saw the Evergreen Tavern, he rushed in.
"Don't speak, or I'll kill you!" The strong man said to Zhang Fuguang and Li Changqing, and after speaking, he ran to hide under a table.
Zhang Fuguang looked at the visitor in surprise, and then glanced at Li Changqing, Li Changqing didn't say anything, still listening to the rain calmly.
Since Li Changqing didn't speak, Zhang Fuguang didn't pay attention to it.
"Those who come are all guests, and there is no reason to pick up guests." Li Changqing said to Zhang Fuguang.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were some chaotic footsteps in the alley.
Immediately afterwards, I saw five soldiers come to the door of the Evergreen Tavern, they were wearing soft armor and robes, and their eyes looked into the tavern.
They were chasing a flower thief, but they didn't expect to run into the alley and disappear.
This tavern is suspicious.
"Welcome." Li Changqing said with a smile.
"Is that you?"
The captain of the guard at the head glanced at Li Changqing and Zhang Fuguang, and said in surprise: "You opened this tavern?" ”
This person is the captain of the guard who the coachman brought a few days ago to say that Zhang Fuguang had killed someone.
"What a coincidence." Li Changqing nodded: "I opened the tavern." ”
"Hmm." The captain of the guard nodded: "Have you seen a burly man running over?" ”
"Yes, it's hidden under that table inside." Li Changqing pursed his mouth.
As soon as these words came out, the strong man was furious on the spot, and came out of the table directly, glaring at Li Changqing and saying, "You are looking for death!" ”
"Peng Ning, you can't run away!"
The captain of the guard shouted angrily.
Who knew that Peng Ning moved very quickly, and as soon as his figure moved, he came behind Li Changqing, and then pulled out a knife and put it directly on Li Changqing's neck.
"Stand back! Or I'll kill him. Penning roared.
"Don't mess around!" The captain of the guard and several soldiers were taken aback, and suddenly they didn't dare to act rashly, they were to maintain law and order in the city, and at this moment Peng Ning had hostages in his hands, how could they dare to mess around?
Several people were nervous.
But Zhang Fuguang couldn't help but yawn.
"Look at what is written on the wall over there." Li Changqing pointed.
Peng Ning was stunned, looked at Li Changqing's fingers, and found that there was a piece of paper on the wall with a few lines written on it.
The first of these is that the Evergreen Tavern is not allowed to make trouble, otherwise you will be expelled from the tavern and will never be allowed to enter.
Seeing this, Peng Ning couldn't help but sneer: "Are you crazy? ”
"Don't you understand your situation?"
But as soon as Peng Ning's words fell, he saw Li Changqing's fingers lightly touching the knife on his neck, and a crisp sound suddenly came from the bright big knife.
The next moment the knife was broken!
The broken knife flew out horizontally, flew directly out of the door, and inserted it into the wall of Tonghua Lane.
Peng Ning was momentarily dumbfounded.
And the next moment, Peng Ning felt a force directly throw himself out!
The heavy rain drowned Peng Ning, Peng Ning fell to the wall, fell to the ground, and seemed to be thrown out by someone, but Peng Ning let out a painful scream.
Because both of his arms are broken!
Even a few soldiers in the city were dumbfounded, this Peng Ning is a famous flower thief in Ziwu City, his strength is very strong, but he is the ultimate realm of the day after tomorrow, they didn't see what was going on, Peng Ning was thrown out by Li Changqing.
"Take it!"
The captain of the escort at the head of the team shouted.
Several soldiers hurriedly went up and tied up Peng Ning Wuhuada.
"Finally got me." The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Li Changqing: "Thank you seniors for your help, this flower thief has scooped more than a dozen young men in the city, and he has never been caught, and he was finally caught today, thank you for your help." ”
"Well, it's okay...... Well? Wait a minute. Li Changqing was suddenly stunned: "What are more than a dozen scourges?" ”
"Big boy." The captain of the guard nodded: "This person specializes in picking men." ”
Li Changqing couldn't help but shudder.
Looking at Na Peng Ning's expression also changed.
Peng Ning glared at Li Changqing angrily: "Today Lao Tzu is planted in your hands, but you wait for Lao Tzu, one day Lao Tzu will be released from prison, and Lao Tzu will be the first to get you!" ”
Li Changqing said the quintessence of the country in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slaughter this goods now.
Zhang Fuguang on the side also saw this kind of thing for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
"Laugh at the fart, wait for Lao Tzu to come out and do it with you!" Peng Ning looked at Zhang Fuguang with a sneer in his eyes.
Zhang Fuguang was also stunned.
What the hell is it to me?
"Shut up!"
The captain of the guard stepped up and punched him hard.
"What do you call it?" Li Changqing looked at the captain of the guard and asked.
"My name is Xiao Luo." The captain of the guard said with his fists clenched.
"Li Changqing." Li Changqing also introduced himself.
"Well, thank you a lot for today's incident, let's go first." Xiao Luo clenched his fists and said, and then said politely to Zhang Fuguang.
A couple of people left.
Li Changqing looked at Peng Ning's back outside.
"Fuguang."
"Sir."
"Go get rid of this thing for me at night, and let him die in prison."
"That's exactly what I mean."
The two hit it off.
It's much more disgusting to be remembered by this kind of person than to be remembered by the people of the Blood Shadow Gate.
Although this Peng Ning is cultivated as garbage and has no threat to Li Changqing and Zhang Fuguang, the thought of being remembered by a same-sex flower thief always makes people feel uncomfortable.
So Zhang Fuguang went out that night.
killed Peng Ning directly in prison.
Quietly left again.
Wait until noon the next day.
Today's weather is much better and sunny.
At this time, Xiao Luo came down with a few men.
"Evergreen seniors." Xiao Luo saw Li Changqing and said respectfully.
"You're welcome, you don't need to call me senior, I'm just a tavern owner." Li Changqing is not used to hearing this title.
"That's a sir." Xiao Luo said: "I came in a hurry yesterday, and today I just want to bring a few brothers to drink, I thought about it, the tavern that Mr. happened to open, come here to taste Mr.'s wine." ”
"Please come in."
Li Changqing brought a few people in, and then sat down.
"Mr. Changqing doesn't know that Peng Ning, the flower thief he caught yesterday, was actually killed in the prison."
Xiao Luo looked at Li Changqing and said.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Li Changqing pretended to be surprised and said.
"The murderer didn't leave the slightest clue, if Mr. Changqing knows any clues, I hope to tell him without hesitation." Xiao Luo always felt that this matter was very likely to have something to do with Li Changqing, but he didn't know much about Li Changqing, and there was no evidence.
"Okay, if I know anything, I'll inform Captain Xiao." Li Changqing said with a smile: "What kind of wine do you drink, there are good peach blossom brews and burning knives." ”
"Captain, let's drink the burnt knife, what kind of peach blossom brew sounds like a girl drinking." One of the bearded men said.
"Burning knives can be a bit rushing." Li Changqing reminded.
"Haha, that's a good feeling, what's the point of drinking it if it's not strong." The bearded man said with a laugh.
"And the side dishes you have here, just four? Let's be the same for each one. Another of the thinner team members said.
"Wait a minute."
Li Changqing said, and went to the back to get side dishes.
Zhang Fuguang is helping to drink.
After a while, the wine came up first, and Li Changqing didn't give the wine glass, but the wine bowl.
Of course, it is more comfortable to drink wine in a large bowl.
"Full on full."
The bearded man said impatiently, obviously a greedy person.
Zhang Fuguang poured wine into everyone's wine bowls.
Suddenly, the cold aroma of wine came to the face, and the smell instantly attracted everyone.
The taste of this wine is strong just by smelling!
The bearded man couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and take a big bite!
This bite continues, and the beard almost doesn't squirt out!
The wine is like a fierce horse galloping in its mouth, and it is better like a thousand armies slaughtering into your throat.
That feeling goes straight to the sky!
This wine is a world of difference from the wine I drink on weekdays!
The bearded man's face turned red in an instant.
The others weren't much better, but their faces were more shocked!
"Good wine!"
The bearded man exclaimed.
"This is the wine that gentlemen should drink!" The other soldier also said in shock.
Rao is Xiao Luo couldn't believe that this wine was so amazing.
Before the dish was served, everyone had already dared to make a jar.
Immediately, another altar was added.
Before, they thought that this wine would cost five dollars for a jar, which was too expensive, but after drinking it, they felt that it was very worth it.
After a while, Li Changqing's side dishes were also served.
The other things are easy to say, the preserved egg is something they have never tasted, and after tasting it, they are indescribably in love.
The refreshing texture is matched with that special taste, which looks so greasy under the sauce, and the spicy taste of the tiger pepper makes the roast knife even more chilly in the mouth!
It's a perfect match.
They felt like they had found a treasure tavern.
It wasn't until after three jars of wine that everyone felt a little drunk.
The bearded man couldn't believe it, he was fine when he drank six or seven altars on weekdays, but the four of them fainted after drinking three altars.
"It's good wine." The bearded man felt very refreshed.
"Sir, bring me two altars." The bearded man said to Li Changqing.
Who knew that Li Changqing shook his head, pointed to the wall and said: "The rules of our Evergreen Tavern are that we can only dine-in, not take-out. ”
"Huh?"
"Sir, will you sell me two jars?" The bearded man said a little depressed.
"Rules are rules, you can't take them away, just come over if you want to drink." Li Changqing said categorically, not accommodating at all.
Li Changqing knew that his wine would definitely be popular, and if he could still take it out, then it would not be enough to brew any amount of wine by himself, and he didn't expect this thing to make money, so he naturally banned it from taking out.
"Mr. has his rules here, don't break the rules, be careful that Mr. throws it out for you." Xiao Luo said with a smile.
When the bearded man heard this, he couldn't help but shudder.
Yes, the scene where Li Changqing threw Peng Ning out is still vivid.
That Penny is the best of the day after tomorrow.
This mysterious tavern owner is most likely a congenital.
In the following days, Xiao Luo and the others often came to the Evergreen Tavern.
Not only Xiao Luo, but their friends also came often after being brought here once, and the business of the Evergreen Tavern also became lively.
At the same time, Li Changqing also heard a lot of messy information from their mouths.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.
According to Li Changqing's calculations, Li Hengsheng should almost be in the Zhenguo Mansion.
"Did you hear that?"
"The inspector of the White Snake Road of the Zhenguo Mansion has been transferred and transferred to the Black Tiger Pond." At this time, in the tavern, a voice caught Li Changqing's attention.
"White Snake Road?"
Another person said in surprise: "The White Snake Road is the most chaotic place, wasn't it the place that the people of the Northern Cold Country were in charge of before?" Black Tiger Pond used to be the place where the disciples of Daoshan Ancient Land were, right? I heard that the security of Black Tiger Pond is very good, why did you suddenly change the patrol envoy? ”
"It's normal."
"Who made the Zhenguo Taishou of the Zhenguo Mansion a person from the Northern Han Country, the original inspector of the White Snake Road was the son of a third-grade member of the Northern Han Country, and the people used means behind their backs, so they were naturally transferred to a good place, and the inspector of the original Daoshan Ancient Land of the Black Tiger Pond was said to have been replaced, so he was assigned to the messy place of the White Snake Road."
Someone explained.
"That's really miserable, the place in the White Snake Road is too chaotic, before the patrol envoy was a person from the Northern Cold Country, so the forces there gave a little face, and now he has changed to a disciple of the Daoshan Ancient Land, but it's really hard to manage, but if it's strong, maybe it can be of some use."
"What is the strength, I inquired, it is said that he is a disciple of the acquired realm, and he doesn't know what mistakes he made, so he was assigned here, and it seems that he will die very miserably!"
