Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 466 466. Friendship?

Dong Cheng's staff in the government office, as well as the county magistrates of Jiangning County and Shangyuan County under his rule, etc., after these people were guests in Jiangcheng Bo's house and tasted the strong liquor personally, in the capital, there was something about "Jiangcheng Bo". There is a rumor that there is good wine in the house, and there is a "new version" the next day.

This "new version" is more specific, more direct, and more likely to tug at the heartstrings of alcoholics.

In particular, he compared other wines to "horse urine", commented on it as "the best wine in the world", as well as the specific feelings of tasting this wine, and "the smell of wine rushes to the forehead" and so on.

This is simply a blockbuster thrown into the deep water of the capital, causing huge waves!

Is Jiangcheng Bo's wine really that strong?
Is it really that delicious?

Do you really deserve all the praise?

For a time, there was a lot of heated discussion in Beijing, and it topped the "Hot Search List".

But no matter what, the drunkards in the capital were excited and wanted to go to Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion to explore it immediately.

However, the "nemesis" hat on Zhu Xiuyuan's head simply "dazzles the capital". Anyone with some status and status in the court would not dare or refuse to visit him.

The rest of the common people were not afraid, and were even very close to Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion.But they are not qualified, that is the Earl's Mansion!Not everyone can post and visit!
So, the next morning, as soon as Zhu Xiuyuan woke up, he received a report from the servants in the mansion.

It is said that many people from the capital gathered on Xufu Street in front of the mansion. They all looked at the high wall of Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion and sniffed fiercely, unable to leave.

Zhu Xiuyuan burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "Don't these people have anything to do? They came outside my house early in the morning... They are really full and have nowhere to digest! Don't worry about them!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was going to the flower hall to have breakfast. He took two more steps and suddenly stopped when he thought of something.

"Hey, why am I so confused? They are so enthusiastic and come to 'watch the wall' early in the morning. They are obviously die-hard 'fans' of distilled liquor, so why don't I take this opportunity to build momentum... Although there have been people in Beijing recently Rumors, but not enough, too original..."

Zhu Xiuyuan stood there, frowning in thought.

In the blink of an eye, he thought of a series of ways to build momentum.

In fact, for now, the "hot topic" of "Jiangcheng Bo's Mansion has fine wine" is already high enough. He only needs a little guidance and a lot of effort to achieve the best publicity effect.

By the way, you can also promote the restaurant that is about to open!

The restaurant that Zhu Xiuyuan bought was large in scale and in a good location, plus he had new dishes, artificial hot springs, and fine wine being brewed.

It is conceivable that with the blessing of these "hard goods", this restaurant will definitely be full of guests and make a lot of money.

It will be the second cornucopia besides the tea house!
These earnings should be able to support the supply of a thousand generals...

"Guess who I am?"

While Zhu Xiuyuan was deep in thought, his vision suddenly went dark, and a pair of small hands covered his eyes.

At the same time, a voice came out from behind, holding its throat and pretending.

Zhu Xiuyuan woke up from his meditative state. When he heard the voice, even though it was disguised, he guessed that the person who blindfolded him could be other than Dong Shuzhen.
"It's Qiuwen?" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.

"No, it's wrong, wrong, husband...guess again."

"That's Xia Wu!" Zhu Xiuyuan was in a good mood, and couldn't help teasing his childlike lady.

"Wrong, wrong..."

Dong Shuzhen's voice became a little anxious and muffled, and she stomped her feet repeatedly behind him, and even shook her hands covering his eyes up and down, "light leaking".

"Haha, madam, my husband guessed it was you a long time ago!"

Zhu Xiuyuan pinched her hands, turned around and looked, and saw that it was Dong Shuzhen standing behind him, still holding her mouth, a little unhappy.

But when she heard Zhu Xiuyuan's words, a smile instantly broke out on her face, she shook hands into a fist, lightly hammered Zhu Xiuyuan, and said angrily: "My husband is bullying me again!"

……

After breakfast, Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu went about their business.

Zhu Xiuyuan went to the winery and continued to try to blend the wine.

Behind him was a string of oil bottles, including Dong Shuzhen, Qiuwen, and Xia Wu.

After a while, a servant suddenly came to report: "Sir, Mr. Sikou, the young master of the Prison Department, handed over a greeting card and came to visit."

"Young Sikou?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised. Ever since the rumor that "Jiangcheng Uncle's Mansion has fine wine" had a "new version", Zhu Xiuyuan had a premonition that some people might be unable to sit still.

For example, the ordinary people who are still looking outside the high walls of the uncle's mansion are the best examples.

Of course, there will be people who can't help but come to visit.

Zhu Xiuyuan just didn't expect that the first person to visit him would be Mr. Sikou, the young master of the Prison Department.

He had "cooperated" with Shao Sikou many times. Zhu Xiuyuan thought that his relationship with Shao Sikou was not a good one, but he was not an enemy either.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment and quickly figured it out.

Yes, his "popularity" in the court is so poor. The number of people who can come to the uncle's house as a guest is really pitiful. This young Sikou can barely make up the number!

"Invite the distinguished guests to the front hall, I will be there immediately." Zhu Xiuyuan finally ordered.

The servant bowed and said "yes" and then went down.

Zhu Xiuyuan went back to the main house, washed his hands and face first, waited for a while, guessing that the young commander had already entered the front hall of the main house, Zhu Xiuyuan then went to the front hall to meet the guests.

"Master Shao Sikou!"

"Uncle Jiang Cheng!"

In the front hall, the two exchanged greetings, and then the host and guest took their seats and served tea to entertain the guests.

"Haha, Uncle Jiangcheng, are you alright? I heard that the uncle's house has newly brewed a fine wine, which is very sweet and has been praised by the people in the market as 'the best wine in the world'..."

Shaosikou was tall and lean, with a scar on his face that extended from the base of his ear to the corner of his mouth.

His scar is very strange. When he smiles, the scar "dots" on his face, looking quite like a clown performing on stage.

And when he is angry, this scar becomes particularly gloomy and terrifying, and can even scare children into tears.

Now, Shao Sikou is smiling all over his face, and that scar looks particularly funny...

"Uncle Jiang Cheng knows something." Young Sikou rubbed his hands, "I am a well-known drinker in the capital. I can live without a daughter, but I cannot live without drinking! Haha..."

"Master Shao Sikou, the words of the market are untrustworthy! The humble house has indeed brewed a new kind of wine, but it cannot be called the word 'fine wine', and the title of 'the best wine in the world' is even more out of thin air. Unbelievable, unbelievable, Shao Sikou Please do not listen to these false rumors."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly, showing his modesty.

"Hey, Uncle Jiang Cheng, no matter how it is, can you... let me taste it first?" Shao Sikou rubbed his hands, stood up from his seat, walked two steps, came to Zhu Xiuyuan's seat, and got very close. .

"Uncle Jiangcheng, I have been fond of fine wine since I was young. This capital city is filled with fine wines from all over the world, and I have tasted every one of them... Now that the fine wine has been newly brewed in my uncle's house, and it is spreading so well, I really can't bear it. Can’t stand it anymore…”

"I'm not afraid of Uncle Jiang Cheng's jokes. I'm so excited after listening to those market rumors!"

The more Shao Sikou talked, the more excited he became, and he even put his arm around Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulders. From the outside, one must think that the two of them were close and good brothers. "Master Shao Sikou, please calm down first!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was not very used to holding hands with him, so he pushed him away with one hand, with a look of disgust on his face.

This young Sikou was indeed a good drinker. As soon as he came over, Zhu Xiuyuan could smell the faint smell of wine, and the smell of wine had been "fermented" on him for a long time.

Coupled with the smell of sweat...Tsk, Zhu Xiuyuan felt that his nose had been violated.

Zhu Xiuyuan sat still and pushed him away.

Shao Sikou looked down at the hand that was still resting on him, and a smile appeared on Scar's face again.

"My uncle, what is our relationship..." He was about to get close.

"What kind of friendship do we have? What kind of friendship can we have?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was not happy when he heard this, and made two consecutive sentences.

"Eh... uh... Uncle Jiang Cheng, we have jointly supervised the handling of three shocking cases, eradicated countless corrupt officials, and restored a bright future for me..."

"Shut up!"

The corner of Zhu Xiuyuan's mouth twitched faintly. Whenever he mentioned this, Zhu Xiuyuan's head hurt.

Shao Sikou immediately shut up and looked at him blankly.

"Master Shao Sikou, when you entered the mansion just now, didn't you notice that there were only a few horses and horses in front of my house? Haha, this is all thanks to you! What kind of friendship do you think we can have?"

Those three major cases were so violent, involving thousands of people... that he even wore the hat of "nemesis", which was made of iron. He didn't know if he could take it off in this life.

Zhu Xiuyuan blames this young Sikou for all of this!
This guy was obviously involved in the mess. So many people came in, but they ended up bullying him, a "foreigner," indiscriminately. It was all his fault, Zhu Xiuyuan...

Regarding this matter, Zhu Xiuyuan always believed that he was tricked by Shao Sikou.

At this point, how dare Shao Sikou have the nerve to ask for friendship...

Zhu Xiuyuan was kind to him by not getting angry and driving him out of the house!

"Hey... uncle, calm down... calm down..."

Shao Sikou looked sincere and smoothed the clothes on Zhu Xiuyuan's arms with his hands. It seemed that this could calm Zhu Xiuyuan's anger.

"This is all my fault. Let's do this. I will make amends to my uncle again."

After saying this, Shao Sikou bowed his hands and gave a long salute, bending his back at ninety degrees, which was already a very big salute.

"That's it!"

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his long sleeves and turned around.

"Hehe, Uncle Jiang Cheng, look, I've also lost the gift. Should I take out that wine..."

Zhu Xiuyuan heard the sound of swallowing from behind.

"The alcohol bug in my belly...is really making a lot of noise."

"Master Shao Sikou, it's not that I'm stingy and I don't want to let you taste the newly brewed wine, it's just..."

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned. The fine wine he expected had not been mixed yet. What they called "good wine" now was just the raw wine that had just been distilled.

In his opinion, the original wine... was just a semi-finished product, not suitable for drinking. It was too spicy and strong, just like drinking disinfectant alcohol, and it didn't taste good at all.

According to Zhu Xiuyuan's expectation, after he has prepared a fragrant, strong, and delicious wine, he will then promote it and strive to become an instant hit.

But now he takes out the half-finished wine and gives it to others to drink, regardless of whether it tastes good or not. If it ruins the reputation of the wine in his house, it will be more than worth the loss.

Zhu Xiuyuan always thinks that the semi-finished raw wine is not delicious!

"Just what?"

Shao Sikou came over with a smile, a hint of flattery on his scarred face.

"To be honest, Mr. Sikou, the wine is only a semi-finished product and has not been completely brewed. If you drink it now, it will not be fragrant or mellow, but very strong, very spicy... and the taste will not be good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan tells the truth.

"Uncle was joking..."

Shao Sikou swallowed again and licked his lips. He looked... like a greedy dog, looking at the meat and bones eagerly, drooling and licking his fur.

"It's very strong, very spicy, it's a fine wine! Uncle, I don't know, but this is the fine wine I'm looking for!"

Shao Sikou took another step closer.

"Master Shao Sikou, I'm not lying to you. That wine really doesn't taste good now, and it makes you feel uncomfortable after drinking it... It would be bad if you run out and ruin the reputation of the fine wine in my house after drinking it."

Zhu Xiuyuan took a step forward and distanced himself. He couldn't stand the smell of Shao Sikou.

"Oh, my uncle, you are overthinking it!" Shao Sikou took a step closer, "Didn't someone visit your residence yesterday and taste that fine wine?"

"Indeed, but..." Zhu Xiuyuan took another step forward.

"That's right, my uncle, is there a rumor in Beijing that the wine in your mansion is not good? No, it's all about the wine in your mansion..."

Seemingly unaware of the smell on his body, Shao Sikou took a step forward again.

"This……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned, yes, that seems to be the case!

It's strange. The semi-finished raw wine is obviously very hard to drink. Why did those people spread the rumor yesterday that the raw wine is very delicious?
Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned and couldn't help but stop on the spot.

The young Sikou stepped forward and bumped into Zhu Xiuyuan from behind.

Suddenly, the "fermented" smell came, and Zhu Xiuyuan's nose twitched and his brows furrowed...

He really wanted to grab Shao Sikou's collar, beat him up, and sternly reprimanded him: "You don't even take a bath!"

"Well, since Master Shao Sikou insists on tasting it, then I will satisfy Master Shao Sikou!"

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly returned to his seat and sat down, then stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, indicating that Shao Sikou should sit back in his chair.

The young Si Kou was naturally overjoyed, hurriedly obeyed the instructions, sat on the guest chair, rubbed his hands, smiled all over his face, and looked extremely expectant.

Soon, a little maid came over, carrying a tray with a wine bottle and a wine glass.

"Go slowly..."

Shao Sikou suddenly shouted loudly, jumped up from his chair, stretched out his hands, bulged his eyes, and ran towards the little maid carrying the tray with an obscene posture.
