Chapter 107 Alcohol (Thanks to book friend 20170130204522837 for the monthly ticket~)
After listening to Li Sanniang’s explanation, Mother Li couldn’t tell whether she was happy or distressed. She was happy that Li Sanniang didn’t want to marry a high-ranking family. I'm troubled that Li Sanniang really doesn't want to get married for the second time.
However, Mother Li still gave Li Sanniang a big roll of her eyes, expressing dissatisfaction with her explanation.
It was Sister-in-law Li who came in and asked the two of them to eat pomegranates in the yard, which interrupted the somewhat awkward atmosphere between mother and daughter.
Pomegranates were given in advance as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift by Brother Li's colleagues in the same team. They say they are produced in the Western Regions. They are the same variety as the pomegranates sold by Hu merchants in the West Market, but the quality is better than that. .
It is said that this colleague's compatriot girl married a Hu merchant from the Western Regions as his stepwife. This Hu merchant has his own connections in the Western Regions and can get some good things that are not circulated in the market. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, he specially gave some to this My uncle is here to use it as a gift.
My colleagues in the same team each got seven or eight large pomegranates. Brother Li took them home last night and wanted to wait for his mother and Li Sanniang to eat them together.
After tasting the sweet pomegranate with a very strong pomegranate aroma, Li Sanniang asked the second brother Li: "Second brother, did the eldest brother tell you yesterday if there was any news from the bad guys?"
Brother Li took the handkerchief handed over by Sister-in-law Li and wiped his mouth, "I told you that someone would come to discuss it tonight."
"Sanniang, this is not a trivial matter. Be careful.”
"Don't worry, I'll save you."
In this way, Li Sanniang and Li's father and brother Li discussed how to bargain with bad people for the benefits of the alcohol.
After talking for half an hour, Father Li nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of the pomegranate juice specially prepared for Father Li, Mother Li and Lu Zhuer, "This variety is better than our local one." The pomegranates are even sweeter, and the color of the juice looks nice.”
After nightfall, after Li’s mother said a few words about how to send Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to various houses tomorrow, Li’s father asked. Everyone dispersed, leaving only Mother Li, Li Sanniang, Brother Li, Brother Li and Li Dalang.
While Li Sanniang was yawning while waiting, there was a knock on the door. It sounded not from the door of the front yard, but from the door of the main hall.
Li Sanniang thought to herself that bad people are indeed secret door operators. If they are used to not going through the main entrance and always climbing over the wall, it is useless.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Dalang opened the door, he saw Mr. Bu sitting in a wheelchair at the door and the hunchbacked servant who always stood behind him.
Li Sanniang became more and more interested in martial arts at this time. Seeing that Mr. Bu’s wheelchair was made of good wood, even if Mr. Bu was thin, this adult man plus the weight of the wheelchair was still a strong man. It can still be moved.
But if Mr. Li, who is unable to carry his wheelchair, lifts him over the courtyard wall, and then quietly avoids the clever Li Sanniang, who is a member of the Li family, and Li Dalang, the elder brother who is a martial arts practitioner, it is really not possible. What might have happened.
But this impossible thing really happened.
At this time, Li Sanniang was looking at Mr. Bu, who appeared directly outside the main hall of the Li family with a calm expression and didn't care that she didn't knock on the door. He was now calmly drinking the health tea brought by Li Sanniang.
Li Sanniang didn’t know if Mr. Bu was playing the game of whoever speaks first loses again, but he did not say a word after he came in.
Li Sanniang thought it was very funny, but Mr. Li didn’t say anything. Father Li was very calm on his face, holding the teacup and looking at it, as if he and Mother Li had chosen this set together on the first day they met. Like a tea set.
Brother Li is not a talkative person, and the less he talks in Jinwu Guard, the better.
So, Brother Li didn't drink tea or look at the tea set. He just lowered his head and looked at the ground and just sat there.
Therefore, only the second brother Li and Li Sanniang were left to communicate with each other with their eyes, and both of them had a silent roll of their eyes towards the three of them. Li Sanniang was still thinking, isn't this what the Internet said about pretending to be thirteen when traveling through pre-modern times.
In the end, Li Sanniang couldn't help but spoke first: "No sir, I asked my eldest brother to ask about alcohol. Do you have any advice, sir?"
Li Sanniang can say with certainty that when she spoke first, she saw the corners of Mr. Bu’s mouth turned up while he was drinking health tea!
Mr. Bu did it on purpose!
What a bad taste!
Mr. Bu put down the tea cup, looked away from the tea cup, glanced at Li Sanniang, then tilted his head and motioned to the hunchbacked servant behind him. He stretched his right hand to the back and saw the unsmiling The servant took out a small wine bottle worth one or three taels from his arms.
Mr. Bu carefully held the thin neck of the small wine bottle and waved it in front of Li Sanniang's eyes for a few times, and said in a calm tone: "Sanniang, come and see if this is the alcohol you mentioned?"
After hearing Mr. Ke say the word alcohol, Mr. Li, who was looking down at the teacup, Brother Li, who was looking at the ground, and Brother Li, who was already staring at Mr. Ke, all pricked up their ears and stared. He raised his eyes and stared at the small wine bottle with a thin neck held by Mr. Bu's two fingers.
Mr. Bu's hunchbacked servant took the small wine bottle from Mr. Bu's hand, walked to Li Sanniang, bowed and handed it over.
Li Sanniang was naturally surprised. She had thought that Brother Li had sent him the distillation drawings and also talked about the important role of the purified alcohol. The bad guy would have contacted her that night.
Who would have thought that bad people are not anxious, but too anxious!
The bad guy actually made it according to Li Sanniang's drawings, and within a few days, he got the alcohol that Li Sanniang mentioned after being purified with a burning knife?
Li Sanniang pinched the thin neck of the small wine bottle with two fingers of her left hand, pulled out the cork wrapped with a small piece of red cloth with her right hand, and then moved her right hand away from the small wine bottle in a fan-like shape. Fan the air into your nostrils from a palm's length.
A spicy and pungent smell rushed straight into Li Sanniang's nasal cavity. Li Sanniang endured the discomfort and sniffed carefully twice more.
Then, Li Sanniang put the gag in. Just when she was about to ask Mr. Bu if he could show Father Li and the other three of them, she couldn't help but quickly took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.
“Ah!” After Li Sanniang sneezed, she instantly felt that the discomfort in her nasal cavity was gone.
Li Sanniang wiped her nose with a handkerchief and was about to ask Mr. Bu, but Mr. Bu said, "Sanniang, you can show it to Dr. Li and others."
Then, Li My father, elder brother Li and second brother Li also imitated Li Sanniang and sniffed the smell of "alcohol" in the small wine flask.
Except for Brother Li, who couldn't bear it and sneezed as much as Li Sanniang was stimulated, Father Li and Brother Li looked fine.
Brother Li turned around and looked at Li Sanniang and asked: "Sanniang, how does this thing compare with what you said?"
Mr. Bu also looked at Li Sanniang, wanting to hear about the internal decay of bad people these days. Is this "alcohol" made with great effort feasible?
Hey guys, yesterday I was busy going to my relatives’ house to help. Now it’s really troublesome to get married. I was woken up by my mother at three o’clock in the morning to help. I was really convinced.
I have to attend another one tomorrow. . . .
This relative lives on the island, and they had to go there in advance, do nucleic acid tests, and then take a boat. This chapter was completely typed on a mobile phone, and I was so tired.
