The young man showed a little surprise when he heard the previous sentence, and his watery and affectionate peach blossom eyes opened even wider.
Not only him, but Chu Yao on the side also changed his expression.
Beneath the calm, there seems to be an undercurrent brewing and gathering strength.
Shen Tang ignored the two's reactions, his eyes fixed on the rim of the wine jar, concentrating intently as he slowly uttered the next sentence.
"How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang!"
As soon as the words fell, the long-accumulated literary energy surged and gathered, and the only sound heard in the ears was the gurgling sound of running water, and the tip of the nose smelled the fragrance of the nectar. Shen Tang moved his right hand away, and the mouth of the jar was no longer empty, but was replaced by clear and transparent wine. The young man couldn't help but move his nose, and his amorous peach blossom eyes became brighter and brighter, and he shouted: "Good wine!"
Passersby didn't know the truth, they only knew that the young man paid the money and shouted "good wine", and sighed a few times - these days business is becoming more and more shameless, this young man has a good-looking appearance, there is no job he can't do, and he is an unscrupulous wine tout.
The next scene that followed stunned everyone.
The young man grabbed the jar of wine impatiently, tilted his head back and drank it, not caring even that the wine splashed onto his clothes.
This jar of Du Kang wine was not like newly brewed wine. The wine was clear and transparent, with a long and sweet taste and a strong aroma. Even the young man who had tasted many fine wines could not help but be happy. He drank one sip after another, never satisfied, and finished the whole jar in a short while.
"Huh? Finished drinking?"
He smacked his lips with a look of satisfaction, shook the empty wine jar, squinted his eyes and leaned closer, as if he couldn't believe that he had finished it in one go - he had just tasted it. He reached into the purse at his waist and took out a dime of silver that was two times larger than the previous silver.
He said happily: "Young lady, two jars!"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and the blush of shame and drunkenness flowed down his neck to his fair and clean face, and soon his face turned pink like a peach blossom. He bowed his head and apologized to Shen Tang repeatedly: "I am sorry, my dear, please don't blame me, it's not my fault on purpose..."
Because Shen Tang had been sitting without revealing the Wenxin seal on her waist, the boy had preconceived notions about her gender, thinking that she was a dashing young lady selling wine. As for the unheard-of method of using Wenxin to make wine, he did not react much.
Words are magical, since they can turn into war horses and weapons, it is not surprising that they can also make wine. In the eyes of the young man, these are all trivial matters, but mistaking a person's gender is a big deal!
He was afraid that if he apologized a second late, the young man would get angry and pick up the wine jar, jump up and hit him on the head.
Will he be beaten or not
Alas, what a dilemma.
Shen Tang: “…”
If this wasn't a big client with a cute and lovable face, she really wanted to persuade him to take out his eyes and wash them thoroughly. How blind must one be to firmly believe that she was a man? However, since there was more than one blind person, she just endured it.
Shen Tang said sternly: "No need to apologize."
The young man immediately smiled again, full of energy and very familiar. He even clasped his fists towards Shen Tang and said, "My dear sir, I am Qu Dian Zhai Le, and my courtesy name is Xiao Fang. May I ask your name? Your wine is really tempting. I want to make friends with you."
Qu Dian
Where is this
Shen Tang couldn't help but look at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao had remained silent since just now, as if he was thinking about something. He only came to his senses when his eyes met Shen Tang's.
He said: "Qu Dian is in Shen State."
Shen Tang was full of questions: "Where is Shen State?"
Chu Yao: “…”
Faced with this situation, the young man was not embarrassed, but smiled and answered: "Shen State is in the southeast, and Qudian is in the north of Shen State."
Shen Tang: “…”
The State of Shen was in the southeast of the mainland.
The current location of Xiaocheng is in the northwest of the mainland.
The two places are far apart, how did this young man get here
As if he understood the doubt in Shen Tang's eyes, the young man smiled and scratched his head and said, "My friend and I made an appointment to go out for study tour. Since we are going to study tour, what's the point of wandering around in one place all the time? I didn't expect that we would end up here while we were traveling."
Shen Tang: “…”
You and your friend have traveled far enough. One is in the northwest of the mainland, and the other is in the southeast. Even if you fly from one point to another, it would take a long time. Countries along the way are still at war. You must be able to run fast!
"My name is Shen Tang, and my courtesy name is Youli."
Shen Tang dryly imitated the young man and clasped his fists, not saying where his hometown was, simply because she didn't know where the original owner's hometown was.
Zhai Le: "Nice to meet you!"
Following the same method, two jars of Du Kang wine were made. The young man Zhai Le held one on each side with satisfaction and jogged in the direction he had seen before. Shen Tang secretly watched, but saw him meet another young man who was half a head taller than him and handed over a jar of wine in his hand.
The young man was dressed similarly to Zhai Le, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar, but his temperament was colder. Unlike Zhai Le's unruly and casual style, he looked cleaner and more respectable, while Zhai Le was barefoot and wearing straw sandals, and his hair was tied up with a red rope.
"Would you like to drink?"
The young man asked, "What kind of wine do you dare to drink?"
Zhai Le said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you make a bet with me before? Look, I won the bet, why don't you dare to drink? Not to mention such good Du Kang wine, I couldn't even drink a bowl of sake before entering Xiaocheng. You really don't want to drink? If you don't drink, I will drink it all by myself."
The young man snorted, snatched a jar from Zhai Le, cast an indifferent look over, and collided with Shen Tang, neither avoiding nor giving way.
Shen Tang: “…”
She clearly marked the price of the wine, she didn't cheat on the weight nor sell fake wine, why are you looking at her like that
The young man was about twenty years old, two or three years older than Zhai Le.
His eyes briefly met with Shen Tang's and then they looked away. He grabbed Zhai Le's collar unceremoniously and dragged him into the teahouse.
Faintly, Zhai Le could still be heard yelling, "Let's talk it over. Brother, don't drag me down. Don't I have any dignity?"
Before they entered the teahouse, Shen Tang glanced at his waist. As expected, there was an accessory hanging on his waist, but it was a turquoise Wenxin seal. I didn't know his Wenxin level, so it was no wonder he dared to travel from the southeast to the northwest.
One is civil and the other is military, and both are good at fighting.
With the help of the young man who was selling wine, passers-by were also attracted by Shen Tang's trick and came to buy wine one after another, but they were not as generous as Zhai Le who would buy a whole jar at a time. At most, they would buy one or two taels to try. The business was not very good, but it was definitely not bad.
Shen Tang patted the Wen Xin seal on her waist and smiled. It seemed that she was not always unlucky.
Free sex is really the best.
Looking at his slightly rich purse, plus the balance from selling paintings, Shen Tang calculated that it should be enough to buy a few pieces of good cloth and make a few clean new clothes. Autumn came early in Xiaocheng, and the midsummer was over. It wouldn't be long before the weather turned cooler.
"Sir, let's go buy some cloth."
After buying some cloth and making two jars of Du Kang wine, he returned with a full load. When he returned to the familiar courtyard, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Qi Shan sitting in the corridor in a daze, looking like he was worried about something.
She called out, "Yuanliang, are there any extra rooms here?"
Qi Shan just came to his senses.
"You finally came back..."
He paused.
He immediately noticed Chu Yao standing behind Shen Tang. Coincidentally, Chu Yao was also looking at him, and their eyes met in the air.
