Liu Qi and Zhang Bo walked towards the door. Before they reached the door of the house, they saw two young men walking in from outside.
I saw the young man on the left with a handsome face, wearing a blue robe with purple embroidery on the robe. He looked so majestic that no one dared to look directly at him. He was Liu Xiu.
The young man on the right has a face as sharp as a knife, red lips and white teeth, and looks like he is coming towards me with a sense of heroism. He is Liu Pan.
But the eagerness was revealed in both of their eyes.
"Big brother"
"Big brother"
The two of them quickened their pace when they saw Liu Qi.
"Hahaha, have you two boys gotten into trouble again these past two days?" Liu Qi said with a smile.
"Brother, don't underestimate people." Liu Pan said. Liu Pan and Liu Xiu looked at Liu Pan and were relieved to see that Liu Qi was fine.
"Let's go to Jufulou today to celebrate my eldest brother." Liu Xiu said casually on the side.
"Okay, I won't go home until I get drunk today." Liu Qi agreed when he saw that the two of them were in good spirits.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'm going to prepare the carriage." Uncle Zhang went to prepare when he saw Liu Qi was going out.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, just take our carriage." Liu Pan said. After saying that, he pulled Liu Qi out, fearing that Liu Qi would run away.
I called Big Brother several times before, but Big Brother didn't go. This time Big Brother agreed, but he couldn't let him go back on his word.
It's great to be young. Uncle Zhang saw the three of them going out together, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
Jufulou's food and wine are the best in Xiangyang, and it is also considered a major brand in Xiangyang. Most of the merchants coming and going as well as dignitaries in Xiangyang city treat guests to dinner at Jufulou. Some people even prefer to eat there.
For a meal, I made a special detour through Xiangyang. Jufulou is full every day, and it is difficult for people without status to eat here. Jufulou is so lively and naturally arouses jealousy. There was once an aristocratic family who wanted to take advantage of Jufulou.
, the family was ruined, and no one dared to reach out to Jufulou since then. Even Cai Mao kept secret about Jufulou.
At this time, Liu Qi and three people were sitting opposite each other on the second floor of Jufu Building.
"I have long heard that the dishes at Jufulou are full of color, fragrance and flavor. I have never tasted them. Today I am really lucky." Liu Qi looked at the dishes on the table. Each dish was exquisitely cooked. The aroma of the dishes made people appetizing.
Wide open.
"Brother, I've never been here before. Let's try the wine here first." Liu Pan opened the lid of the wine jar and poured Liu Qi a glass of wine.
As soon as the lid of the wine jar was opened, the strong aroma of wine came to his face. Liu Qi closed her eyes and smelled the aroma of the wine, feeling indescribably comfortable all over her body.
"Okay, they say the wine here is the best in Jingzhou, and I can see it today." Liu Qi opened his eyes and praised with joy.
Liu Pan and Liu Xiu laughed out loud when they saw that Liu Qi liked it.
"Since big brother likes it, I will come here often in the future. Come, let's drink to help big brother recover today." Liu Pan and Liu Xiu raised their glasses and toasted to Liu Qi.
"Okay." Liu Qi also raised his glass and drank with the two of them.
When the wine enters the throat, there is a slight spicy feeling at first. After this spicy feeling passes, the mellow aroma spreads throughout the body, and every pore in the body feels indescribably comfortable.
"Good wine" Liu Qi couldn't help but admire. This wine is not as concentrated as the white wine of later generations, but its rich and mellow aroma is unmatched by later generations. This kind of wine is not easy to get drunk and is very enjoyable to drink. No wonder so many people liked it in ancient times.
When it comes to drinking, even Liu Qi feels that he can’t live without alcohol in the future.
"Brother has drank wine and hasn't eaten the food yet, so let's try this food first. The food and wine taste better together." Liu Xiu reminded Liu Qi while he saw Liu Qi drinking happily.
"Oh, there's something special about it." Liu Qi picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, then slowly closed his eyes.
The beef is tender but not greasy, fresh but not crispy. It tastes very textured, and the light fragrance fills the air when you chew it. Combined with the aroma of wine, it really leaves a fragrance in your hands and mouth, leaving you with endless aftertaste.
"Hehehe, this is the most delicious food and wine I have ever tasted." Liu Qi opened his eyes and said. The Manchu-Han banquet made in later generations may not be as good as it.
The wine was good wine and the food was good, so naturally they drank happily. Afterwards, the three of them chatted and drank, and unknowingly they were a bit tipsy.
From the conversation, Liu Qi felt the concern of the two people. Although he was not the 'Liu Qi' they mentioned, he still felt warm in his heart. Liu Pan saw that Liu Qi liked the wine here, and when he left, he bought a few jars from the shopkeeper and asked Liu Qi to go back and drink.
, Liu Qi didn’t stop it either.
After leaving Jufu Tower, Liu Qi took Liu Pan and two people for a walk on the street. At this time, the sun was high in the sky, making people warm. From time to time, a breeze blew by, which made the three of them wake up from their drunkenness.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and there were many sellers on both sides of the street. The cries of hawkers kept coming and going, and it was very lively. Although Liu Qi had these memories, seeing it with his own eyes was a different scene. So Liu Qi looked here and there, busy.
Very happy.
Seeing that he was in high spirits, Liu Pan and the others followed him around.
Suddenly, the sound of thunder and ping-pong hitting things ruined the three people's interest.
Liu Qi was watching happily. He turned his head curiously after hearing the sound, and saw guests in a restaurant next to the street running out in a panic. From time to time, there were scoldings and the sound of smashing things.
"Brother, let's go take a look. Maybe someone is eating the Overlord meal." Liu Pan said excitedly from the side.
"I knew you were going to join in the fun." Liu Qi looked at the excited Liu Pan and said helplessly.
Liu Pan's face turned red when Liu Qi said that, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Aren't I afraid that my eldest brother will be bored?"
"I don't think it's brother who's bored, it's you who are bored," Liu Xiu also joked from the side.
"Let's go. The show will be over soon." Liu Qi also wanted to see what happened, so he walked towards the restaurant first.
When Liu Qi and the other two arrived at the restaurant, they saw overturned tables and wine utensils everywhere. There were also several boys lying on the ground who seemed to be the restaurant's waiters.
Some even covered their waists, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
There was a group of people standing beside them. They looked like servants but were well-dressed, and they all had a bit of ferocity on their faces.
The eyes of Liu Qi and the other three people just glanced over a few people and stayed on the three people in the middle. To be precise, they stopped on the two young men wearing brocade robes, because the other one was wearing a blue shirt.
The middle-aged man begging in front of them was obviously the shopkeeper of this restaurant.
There are two young men in front of the shopkeeper. One of them is thirteen or fourteen years old. He has a handsome face and a sense of agility all over his body, which makes people fall in love with him just by looking at him. This young man is Liu Qi's second brother Liu Cong.
.
"No wonder he is loved by Liu Biao." Liu Qi sighed to himself.
The other boy was also fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was pretty and pretty, but he was far inferior to Liu Cong. There was a bit of ruthlessness between his eyebrows, and his eyes were shining with a sinister light. At first glance, Liu Qi was disgusting.
I can’t understand why Liu Cong is with him, he seems quite close.
"Brother, that's Zhang Yue, the youngest son of Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha. He just came to Xiangyang a few days ago. His father and Cai Mao are old friends, so it's normal for them to be together." Liu Xiu saw Liu Qi's confusion and explained.
"Oh, what's Zhang Yue's reputation like?" Liu Qi asked. It seems that some people have already begun to take sides. Zhang Xian sent his youngest son to Liu Cong to undoubtedly express his position.
"Zhang Yue has a very bad reputation in Changsha. I'm not too sure about the details." Liu Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"It goes without saying that Zhang Yue is not a good thing at first glance." Liu Pan said angrily from the side, obviously dissatisfied with Zhang Yue's arrogant behavior.
Liu Qi nodded and said nothing. He turned to look at the onlookers not far away. One of these people had just come out of the restaurant and was talking about what happened in the restaurant.
"Lao Xie, you were in the restaurant just now. What on earth was going on? Tell us quickly." A person encouraged from the side.
"That's right, let's talk quickly." Another person also encouraged him.
"Let's talk about it. It's really unlucky for the shopkeeper to meet this evil star." Lao Xie sighed while holding the beard around his mouth.
"I said, Lao Xie, please don't make us interested."
"Ahem, look at the two young men standing with Shopkeeper Ma. These two young men have extraordinary identities. The one on the left is Mr. Liu Cong, the second son of Master Zhou Mu, and the one on the right is Zhang Yue, the son of the governor of Changsha."
"It turns out to be this evil star. I heard that he was causing trouble in the south of the city yesterday. Please tell me what trouble he did today."
"Zhang Yue was eating here. As he was eating, he said that the food here was not as delicious as the one in Jufulou. He was so arrogant that he refused to pay. When shopkeeper Ma saw these two people, he said he didn't want any money. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue wouldn't give up.
If they insist on compensation from Shopkeeper Ma, of course Shopkeeper Ma won’t do it, and they will smash up his restaurant.”
"What a sin. Liu Cong didn't say a word to the young master?"
"Him? You don't know this, right? Liu Cong and Zhang Yue are related to each other." Lao Xie showed off, as if he knew some secret.
"Oh." The appetites of the onlookers were whetted, and this time even Liu Qi and the other three were a little dumbfounded.
"Hey, everyone knows that Mrs. Cai is from the Cai family. Zhang Xian's wife is a collateral line of the Cai family, so the two of them can be considered distant relatives." Lao Xie said proudly.
"No wonder, Zhang Yue is acting recklessly in Xiangyang City. It turns out to be because of this."
"It's better to leave quickly. When Zhang Yue got angry in the south of the city yesterday, he even beat up the onlookers."
"real or fake."
…
After saying that, the group left, obviously fearing that Chi Yu would be harmed.
Liu Qi and others looked at each other with a little more understanding in their eyes.
"Brother, do you want me to teach Zhang Yue a lesson and let him know who owns Xiangyang?" Liu Pan stepped forward after saying this.
"Let's take a look first." Liu Qi pulled Liu Bandao. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Even if Zhang Yue was the son of the governor of Changsha, he would not be so arrogant in Xiangyang City. Cai Mao and others were probably behind him to support him.
.
"Pay attention, I will ask you when I get back." Liu Qi looked at the middle of the field and said.
"Yeah." Liu Pan and Liu Xiu looked at each other and guessed what was so important.
While the three of them were talking, another incident happened in the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Ma was negotiating terms with Liu Cong and Zhang Yue, and a young man came out from behind. This young man looked about five points like Shopkeeper Ma, with a face as sharp as a knife and a look of excitement on his face.
