Chapter 12 This wine didn't dare to add water

"Chaosheng, if you order so many chickens, we can't eat them. There are only ten of us, and two chickens are enough."

Li Chaolong still felt sorry for his cousin, so he pulled Li Chaosheng back again and again.

The people sitting there were all simple men. At this time, one person said: "Brother Chaosheng, Brother Dalong is right. Two chickens are enough for ten people. Why haven't we ordered pancakes yet?"

"Cake? What kind of cake?"

"The wild vegetable cake is so delicious, it makes you hungry."

The man swallowed as he spoke. Li Chaosheng looked over. He had noticed this brother for a long time. He was about 1.8 meters tall. In an era of widespread malnutrition, he seemed to stand out from the crowd. He looked tall and mighty.

What is particularly striking about his appearance is his hair, which is short and dark, which can be said to be rare in this era.

At this time, Li Chaolong said from the side: "His name is Li Chaomeng, nicknamed Li Erlunzi. He has six brothers in the family. He is very poor. He also has a big appetite. He escaped famine in the early years. In order to fill his stomach, he became a monk. He returned last year.

He belongs to the village, but this brother is very strong and is a good worker."

"Oh, not bad, not bad."

Li Chaosheng looked at the strong man in front of him and couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. He needed to be so brave. Thinking about it, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "Brother Mengzi, I'm treating you this time. We won't order any cakes, and everyone is not allowed to eat today."

Cake, I’m treating everyone to give up all the staple food for me, we will eat meat today.”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and the woman in the store was also confused. Now I have seen the world. When there is still enough meat in this world, how much does it cost?

"By the way, do you have any wine?"

It would be boring to eat without drinking, and wine is the best tool to communicate feelings. Over a meal of wine, strangers can become brothers, and they will quickly become familiar with each other.

After hearing this, the woman looked at Li Chaosheng and said: "When people ask me, I will definitely say no, but if you don't mind it being expensive, I can get it."

"Then I'll give you two jars first. If you don't have enough, I'll ask for more."

"Two, two jars?"

When the woman heard this, she was already numb to this wealthy man. Others gritted their teeth and ordered one pot, but this one ordered two jars, because two jars can make up to ten jugs of wine.

How much does this cost?



The food was ordered, and ten people shared three tables before they sat down. After a while, the food and wine were served. The first was the wine, followed by two large elbows and a plate of pork head. These were all braised in advance.

As for the three chickens that were served, they were roasted chickens that had been prepared in advance, and the rest of the chickens had to be killed immediately.

When the plates of hard vegetables were put on the table, everyone was drooling and staring eagerly at the meat on the table. They had never seen this scene in their lives. They were so happy to be able to eat a piece of meat during the Chinese New Year. Usually there was

Everyone who has improved their lives by eating bread feels as if they are in heaven.

I guess this is how the emperor in the capital lives.

Everyone swallowed, but no one moved their chopsticks. At this time, everyone looked at Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng calmed everyone with his arrogance, making everyone respect him unconsciously.

That poem puts it well: When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. If you don’t believe me, just look at the wine in the cup. Cups are served to the rich first.

Being rich means being awesome~

At this time, Li Chaosheng picked up his chopsticks, scratched his elbow and said, "Don't be stunned, everyone, eat."

Li Chaosheng spoke, and everyone stopped holding it, including Li Chaolong, who stretched out his hand to tear the chicken legs, split the elbows, and ate with his mouth full of oil and a look of happiness on his face. This is the taste of meat.

In fact, normal people will get tired of pure meat dishes like this, especially big knuckles, after just one or two bites. However, people in this era have no fat and water in their stomachs and cannot see meat for a year or even several years, so it is impossible for them to get tired of it.

Just like in this era, fat meat sells much better than lean meat. In the words of people in this era, lean meat is useless. If there is anything delicious, fat meat is better and more fragrant!

Everyone was eating meat, when a woman and a man came over with two wine jars. This wine was brewed by them at home, and they usually sold it to wealthy passing merchants. However, these merchants could not drink much, usually a jug of wine.

That's enough. It's the first time I've seen him drink from the altar.

I remember that the last time Wang Laocai’s family married their daughter-in-law, they had eighteen tables of banquets and only bought three jars of wine. During the banquet, one jar of Wang Laocai’s wine was mixed with a jar of water on the table. Even so, the village still praised Wang Laocai for his wealth.

They gave me good wine.

When the wine came, the woman and the man poured a bowl for everyone. Li Chaolong took a sip and said, "Good wine, Wang Laosi, your wine is different from what Wang Laocai's family drank last time."

Wang Laosi is that man, the owner of this shop. At this time, the man smiled and said: "Wang Laocai's wine has been mixed with water, but this one has not."

"No water?"

Li Chaolong said suspiciously, and Wang Laosi smiled and said: "Brother Dalong, you really didn't mix the water with water. How can you serve the distinguished guests with wine mixed with water?"

Wang Laosi said and looked at Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng smiled and said: "What's wrong with being a distinguished guest? My name is Li Chaosheng, Brother Dalong's cousin."

"Oh, I know you. The one who comes to the Li family ancestral hall to recognize your ancestors today is you, right? The son of Mr. Li who is seeking immortals overseas?"

"Yes, brother, are you busy? If not, let's have a drink together."

"No, no, my brothers are eating, and I, the cook, are still stewing chicken."

As he spoke, Wang Laosi bowed his hands to Li Chaosheng and entered the kitchen. The woman also followed him into the kitchen and said to Wang Laosi: "Master, this young man from the Li family is a wealthy man. His bearing is unparalleled for us."

There are not many of them in Tanggou Town or even in the entire Lantian County."

Wang Laosi heard the words and said: "Have a good time and wait for me. I came back from overseas. The war is chaotic and bandits are rampant. It is not easy to come back from such a far place. Besides, what place is overseas? It is where the eunuchs of Sanbao went to the West."

In this place, it is said that there is gold everywhere, so you will always be rich."

"How rich can one be?"

"At least the two Wang Laocai are as rich as they are."

"Oh my god, that's really rich."

The woman nodded in approval after hearing this. In her opinion, Wang Laocai was synonymous with a rich man.

"Come on, let me bring you a drink. Today I recognize my ancestor and return to my clan. From now on, I will live with you all in Tanggou Town. We all will help you more in the future and come and have a drink."

Li Chaosheng raised his glass as he spoke, and everyone was polite at this moment. If you need help, just ask. Brother Chaosheng's business is our business. Li Erzai slapped his chest more directly and said: "Brother, tell me whoever messes with you in the future.

Beat him for you."

Li Chaosheng was very happy after hearing this. Isn't this the effect he wanted? It seems that after two more drinks, they can help. The batch of glass and silver in his hand have not yet been sold.
