The waiter kicked hard and was about to land on the drunkard who was leaning against the threshold. Suddenly, the drunkard's body moved slightly, and a gap appeared.
With the remaining energy and inertia, the waiter landed his foot on the hard threshold, making a loud sound.
Suddenly, a look of pain appeared on the waiter's face, and he bent down, holding his own feet, feeling even more disgusted with the drunkard.
What to drink if you don’t have money?
In the past, it was easy to talk about money, and it didn't matter if I borrowed money once or twice from time to time, but... I borrowed money on credit several times, and I came to drink again.
The key is, the taste is tricky, don’t drink unless it’s good wine, don’t eat unless it’s delicious food, those don’t cost money?
He was really a prodigal son. I heard that Liu Ji's father didn't even want to talk to him and kicked him out directly.
"How can you open a restaurant without letting people drink?"
"Give me another jar of wine on credit, and I'll leave!"
He was wearing an old dark red robe, his messy long hair was simply combed back and tied with a wooden hairpin, and he had a slight curly beard and a short beard on his face.
He leaned on the threshold again, raised his hand and took a sip of wine, but... there was no wine left in the jug, and he immediately shook his head.
He threw away the wine bottle in his hand and looked at the waiter.
"Liu Ji!"
"Don't be ungrateful. Hurry up and drive away to block my distinguished guests from Chunyu Tower."
The waiter didn't want to talk to this person anymore, but Liu Ji stopped him. The five distinguished guests outside the door were still standing, and it was difficult to enter the restaurant.
"Xiao Er!"
"If I give him a cup of wine, I will bear it later."
Zhang Liang and the other five were not in a hurry. Confucian benevolence and etiquette came first. They might be angry, but they could not be shaken by the things in front of them. They looked at the person in the door quietly.
Liu Ji?
This name... I vaguely seem to have heard it somewhere. It seems that I heard it during the Qilu period. I don't know the details. It should not be a big deal.
Pointing at Liu Ji with one hand, he looked at the waiter politely.
"Okay!"
"Liu Ji, why don't you thank this guest?"
"Get out of the way quickly and let the five distinguished guests in!"
The waiter was overjoyed, no matter who he bought the wine for, as long as the wine in the restaurant could be sold, he immediately looked at Liu Ji with boredom.
He bowed and greeted the five distinguished guests.
"Who are you?"
"Confucian people?"
Liu Ji also looked at the five people curiously. They were all well-dressed, and their whole bodies were very... neat, with ordinary robes.
Confucianism!
"I am the Confucian Zhang Liang!"
Facing Liu Ji's glance, Zhang Liang nodded.
"Where's the drinks?"
"Give me the drink and I'll leave!"
Liu Ji looked at the five Confucian Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang!
It's him!
I heard that the head of the Zhu family hall said that he was the third head of Xiaoshengxian Village and had a good status.
That's it...why is it appearing in Peixian County now? Is the situation in Sishui County so responsible that even Confucian people want to intervene?
Anyway, it's none of your business.
Without saying much to the five people, he looked at the waiter again.
…
…
"Senior Brother Zifang!"
"That guy is interesting."
The private room on the second floor of Chunyu Building.
The five people entered, recalling the previous scene outside the door, one of them was thoughtful.
"Something interesting?"
"In my opinion, that person is a scoundrel and needs to be educated by etiquette. In Pei County, there is no guarantee that he will be captured by Daqin Laws one day."
The other half disagreed.
It is also etiquette to pay the bill while drinking.
All things in the world cannot be perfect without etiquette.
That man came to drink even though he had no money, and he deliberately made things difficult for the waiter. This was not what a gentleman would do, and he didn't like it.
"That person... we may not encounter him again in the future."
Liu Ji!
There is indeed no trace of etiquette in him. Based on what he did before, it is even more likely that he would have committed a crime and been arrested in Peixian County.
But...it is quite impressive for this person to be able to leave his name in his memory.
Not to mention...this is Pei County.
They will stay here for a while. One more friend is better than one more opponent, as long as they have enough friends.
Then the enemy will have nothing to fear.
This is something I learned in Xinzheng, South Korea, and Guigu Zongheng is extremely good at it.
As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, he had a feeling that he would meet this person again next.
Feel!
At some point, it is more accurate than any judgment!
…
…
"Liu Ji!"
"You've been drinking all day, how can you do it without eating some meat? I sold out all the meat today, and there's still a piece of pork liver left, so I'll give it to you!"
Pei County!
It was his hometown. Liu Ji was happy to leave Shennongtang and return to Peixian County.
It’s just... I’ve been feeling a little unhappy lately.
Because his father doesn't like him.
I despise myself for eating and drinking for free.
Fortunately, I have made a few friends, and my gambling skills are pretty good, so I can still deal with them from time to time. Of course, the hard work paid by the Zhu family hall master is indispensable.
Otherwise, I really can't survive.
Heading to the northern urban area of Pei County, which is my hometown. According to the laws of Daqin, I still have a place to be alone, but the place is a bit small.
Just as I turned an intersection, I heard a familiar voice.
"You are interested in my bar."
"My jar of wine is worth one gold, but your piece of pork liver is worth just as much."
"Pig butcher, if you prepare the liver and give it to me, we can still have a few sips together."
Liu Ji stopped slowly and held a wine jar in his hand. He followed the sound and saw that it was indeed several of his friends who had come to Pei County to make friends.
He is a pig butcher.
Regarding this point, Liu Ji admitted that the reason for making friends with him was to eat some meat for free. However, he did not eat for free and also bought wine for himself.
Like now!
"Hehe, okay!"
"That wine of yours is Peach Blossom Drunk from Chunyu Tower. I drank it once!"
“It tastes really good.”
"That's it, don't drink it all by yourself. I'm going to cook the liver now. This thing can be made very quickly."
Shazhu's appearance and demeanor are more...unique than Liu Ji's. He has a round, round face with a dark face, and his chin and cheeks are covered with curly beards.
At this moment, a wheelbarrow is being pushed, and it is basically empty. Only... some remnants of the pigs are left, which are not easy to sell.
Hearing what Liu Ji said, the pig-killer quickly made his decision.
The piece of pork liver I had left was only worth three and a half taels.
And that altar of peach blossom wine was worth a pound... Because the quantity was very small, even if he could drink it in the city, Liu Ji drank a lot.
Really rich.
I can take a few sips today. A piece of pork liver is nothing.
"Hurry up then, it will be even better if you have an appetizer."
Liu Ji waved his hands gracefully and continued walking while holding the wine jar.
"hey-hey!"
Da Le, the pig butcher, trotted and pushed the cart, preparing to go home and quickly process the piece of pig liver.
Pigs are killed very quickly.
Just after half the time of burning the incense stick, he arrived at Liu Ji's simple home with a bamboo basket lunch box in his hand, knocked on the door, and entered.
"Your three appetizers are good. Although they are not as good as Chunyu Lou's, they are still... very suitable for the moment."
Simple dwelling.
There is a small courtyard, plus three rooms. There are no furnishings in the main hall, only two wooden tables and a few straw mats.
At this moment, everything to eat and drink is lost.
Three appetizers.
A pork liver!
A pig's blood!
A pig's ear!
Plus a jar of wine.
They were all things that were not easy to sell and were made into snacks. Liu Ji was a pig-killer, so he was really a bit stingy.
“It smells so good!”
"I'll drink a bowl first!"
The pig butcher had already taken the lead in pouring a bowl for himself. He drank it with great pleasure.
"Drink slowly. How can you taste the wine when you drink like this?"
Liu Ji shook his head.
Good wine should be tasted slowly, otherwise it will be like drinking from a cow and you will not be able to taste the taste.
As he said that, he quickly poured a bowl and took two quick sips.
