Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 142 Tree Fruit Wine

The seventh day of July is the Qiqiao Festival.On the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, the Qu's restaurant had its grand opening.On the eve of the opening, Qu You specially invited a team of lion dancers in order to do a good job in promotional activities.

"Miss, lord, please use the finishing pen to put the eyes on the lion." Yin Shilang put his hands over his head, and respectfully handed over the vermilion pen for the finishing touch.

Qu You and Chu Yu held a vermilion brush in their hands, and lightly drew a few strokes on the lion's eyes, "One o'clock for the left eye—business is booming, two o'clock for the right eye—prosperous wealth, three o'clock for the spirit of the sky—the future Like brocade!"

After finishing the dotting, Qu You gave Yin Shi Lang a red envelope, and Yin Shi Lang put the red envelope into the lion's mouth, and the green picking ceremony officially began.

At this time, when the firecrackers sounded, the lion and the lion immediately cooperated tacitly, jumping, turning, jumping, and jumping. Just when everyone was enjoying watching, the lion suddenly jumped up and gave the lettuce hanging under the eaves to him. Bite down.

"it is good……"

"Lettuce, make money." There was applause from the crowd.

Amidst the applause, the lion shook his head and threw "Qing" to Qu You and Chu Yu. Receiving "Qing" also meant that he had received fortune. The lion symbolizes good fortune and prosperous business.

After the lion dance, it was time to unveil the plaque. The bright red silk fell gently, and the four golden characters of "Jin Yu Man Tang" shone in the sun.

"How about Master's calligraphy?" King Yan Chu Xu's rumbling voice sounded from among the guests behind him.

"Barely in the eyes." Qu You choked him.

"Oh, I really want to appreciate Miss Qu's handwriting. Don't be shy, don't hide your clumsiness." Chu Xu waved his fan and curled his lips sarcastically.

Stinky girl, you dare to look down on me, I really want to see how talented you are as a country girl.

"Okay, what word does the lord want." Qu You straightened his neck, and suddenly confronted Chu Xu.

"The restaurant opens today, so you should write according to the occasion."

"Then, my lord, keep your eyes open and don't say I'm plagiarizing." Qu You rolled up his sleeves, looking energetic.

"Come here, give Miss Qu a pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Chu Xu put away his fan and walked to the table.

In the hall, there were so many people that there were almost no empty seats.At this time, the bet between Qu You and Chu Xu immediately attracted the attention of the diners, everyone looked here curiously, and even the daring sour scholar started to talk about it in disdain.

"What kind of decent pair can a girl's family write, it's just a playful work of a boudoir daughter."

"I see, it's simply that Prince Yan is playing tricks on her, wanting to see her make a fool of himself."

"That's right, it's hard to get into the elegant hall."

Sentences of offensive words floated to Qu You, Huanshan and Lingyou wanted to step forward desperately, and even Dairou, who was relatively simple in normal times, had red eyes with anger.

Qu You just drank tea calmly, waiting for the servants to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so that these pretentious poor people would be blinded.

"Miss, lord. Please move..." After the pen and ink were placed, King Yan's attendant stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

The prince can disdain and loathe Qu You, but as servants, they have to be respectful.Otherwise, Prince Rui behind the girl in this song could tear him apart every minute.

Qu You put down the teacup, imitating Miss Da's light lotus steps, and walked slowly to the table.

"What to write?" Qu You looked up and asked.

"Just write on the plaque outside the door." Chu Xu raised his chin slightly towards the outside.

Alright, Qu You nodded.With a big wave of the hand, the pen walks around the dragon, with a few strokes, a couplet will jump on the paper.When Qu You was writing, Chu Xu was watching. Originally, he wanted to take a few steps closer to Qu You, but was pulled away by Chu Yu who was protecting Qu You.

"Xiao Jiu, that's boring. I don't know how to know if it's plagiarism if I don't see clearly." Chu Xu staggered when he was pushed, and his expression became a little annoyed.

"Don't use your eyesight as an excuse." Chu Yu looked at the sophistry Chu Xu with contempt.

"Okay, then I will keep my eyes open and take a good look. Let's see what kind of color your sweetheart can write." Chu Xu went around the table and reached out to pick up the thin rice paper.

At first glance, it's beautiful.The small regular script with hairpin flowers on the rice paper is high, elegant and graceful, and muscular like a breeze, just like the red lotus reflecting the moon, which makes people obsessed and lingering.

"Okay, good words, good sentences." It was the first time Chu Xu praised a person, and it was a woman.

King Yan actually said that she wrote it well. Could it be that the girl is really talented in this song?The diners in the lobby on the first floor stretched their necks, wanting to see what was written on the rice paper.

"Luo Yu took it and framed it for me, and hung it in my study." Chu Xu raised the rice paper in his hand, obviously very satisfied with Qu You's writing.

"Yes..." Luo Yu stepped forward and reached out to take the rice paper.

However, the moment Chu Xu let go, a wind suddenly blew up in the lobby, and the wind blew the rice paper, which fluttered into Chu Yu's hand.

"Old Jiu, what are you doing?" Chu Xu called out dissatisfied.

"The calligraphy written by the princess can only be hung in the king's study." After Chu Yu finished speaking, he folded the rice paper and put it in his sleeve.

"Okay, I won't argue with you, but you have to let everyone see what Miss Qu wrote." Chu Xu reached out to stop Chu Yu, and raised his eyebrows to signal him to hand over the rice paper.

Chu Yu turned to look at Qu You, and Qu You nodded.Chu Yu reluctantly handed the rice paper in his sleeve to Qin Yufeng beside him, and Qin's guard stepped forward and gently spread the rice paper on the table.

Shanglian: Get off the horse and stop because the wine is good and delicious, attracting customers from all over the world;

The second couplet: Picking up the stars and the moon to praise the height of the building, the delicious food is full of spring in the shop.

Shanglian: There are famous chefs, the chefs are famous, and they are famous all over the world;
The second couplet: The welcoming pine, the pine welcoming the guests, the whole room is full.

Qu You wrote two couplets in a row on the rice paper, and the horizontal inscriptions were the same as the name of the restaurant on the plaque, full of gold and jade.

The diners in the lobby stepped forward cautiously.

hiss...

Ms. Qu Jia has good words and literary talent.

Scholars who love calligraphy look at the small letters with hairpin flowers on the rice paper with golden eyes, wishing to step forward and snatch them for their own.

"Miss Qu is so talented, I'm ashamed." The scholar who made a sarcastic statement just now made a deep bow to Qu You.

"How can you write such a broad-minded sentence without a broad mind? From this, it can be seen that Miss Qu must be generous and open-minded." Another student praised it as much as possible.

"Miss Qu is really the most talented woman in Yanlai."

That sounds good. Say more.Qu You closed her eyes, bent her lips, and listened to the praise in her ear with a smile.

"Wei He, frame the princess' calligraphy and hang it in the lobby of the restaurant, so that the students who come here to eat every day can pay their respects." When Qu You was fascinated by listening, Chu Yu's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Well, pay homage.What, she shit.Qu You glared at Chu Yu dissatisfied, and pouted unhappily.

"The food is served..." Just as Qu You and Chu Yu were flirting, Xiaoer shouted.

God, the food is finally served.

The speed of serving food is really not flattering, the diners sighed melancholy, turned back to their seats and waited.

"Table No. [-] Braised Knuckles and Braised Chicken."

"Beef stew with small potatoes at table two, shredded pork with Beijing sauce."

"Table No. [-] potted tofu, steamed pork..." Several waiters in the shop read while delivering exquisite dishes to each diner's table.

Exquisite arrangement, the same style of bowls and chopsticks.The waiter, who is as elegant as your young master, and the fragrant delicacies on the table, captured the diners in the lobby instantly.Everyone picked up the bamboo chopsticks and raised their hands to pick them up.

"Delicious, delicious." The shock of taste made the eyes of these diners who were originally in the mood of joining in the fun shine.

"Such delicacies should be paired with wine." Chu Xu fanned his paper fan coquettishly.

Fine wine, yes.Qu You turned her head and signaled Huanshan to go to the back kitchen and bring Mu Junyang's newly brewed fruit wine to drink.

Huan Shan and Qu You are in the same mind, with Qu You's eyes, Huan Shan instantly understood.She nodded and walked quickly into the kitchen.After a while, a black porcelain wine jar was brought out.

"Miss, here comes the wine." Huan Shan reached out and handed the wine jar over.

"This is newly brewed fruit wine. It uses fresh tree fruits as raw materials. After steaming, it tastes delicious and mellow. Even a woman who is not strong enough to drink can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Qu You took the wine jar and explained in detail Explaining to Chu Yu and others.

"A thousand cups will never get you drunk." Chu Xu snorted.

"My lord doesn't believe it, you can try drinking it." Qu You handed the wine jar to Chu Xu.

"My king is here to try." Chu Xu just wanted to take over, but was cut off by Chu Yu again halfway.

'Snapped. 'Chu Xu slammed the paper fan on the table.

"You give the wine jar to me."

"You don't believe it, so why waste it." Chu Yu refused.

Hey, I have a bad temper.Chu Xu suddenly fell backward in anger. He raised his arm and pointed at Chu Yu with trembling fingers, "Give me the fruit wine."

"The wine is brewed by the princess." Chu Yu said confidently.

The wine is brewed by the princess, what do you mean?Prince Yan cannot drink the wine brewed by Princess Rui.Chu Xu choked hard, as if he had acquiesced unconsciously.

Chu Yu confronted Chu Xu for a long time, but in the end Chu Xu was defeated.He admitted, he conceded defeat, as long as you give him the wine, he will not object to whoever Xiao Jiu wants to be the princess.

"My king agrees." Chu Xu resisted vomiting blood and nodded helplessly.A penny forced a hero, and a glass of wine bought Prince Yan.

Chu Yu uncorked the wine calmly, 'Boom. ' There was a muffled sound from the mouth of the altar.There was a faint fragrance from the wine jar, and the aroma of fruit wine slowly dispersed.

Sniff, sniffing sound came from the lobby on the first floor.

"Second brother, why does it smell so fragrant?"

"Yeah, I smelled it too." Some impatient people couldn't wait to ask the waiter.

The waiter walked up to the table of guests with a smile on his face, bowed lightly, and was well-mannered.

"Hello, this is the latest tree fruit wine launched by our store. It is made from fresh fruit round fruit, lotus leaf dew in the morning and other raw materials. It is fresh and tangy, delicious and mellow. Even a boudoir woman can still drink it for thousands of years. drink but not drunk."

Hey, drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.The waiter's words caused an uproar among the diners in the lobby. Some diners who were skeptical just watched quietly, while those who liked to drink were already eager to try and couldn't wait to get up.

"Second brother, hurry up...give us a pot on this table." The guest at the second table became the first to try something new.

"Second brother, give us a jar for this table too." The guest at table five hesitated for a moment, but still ordered tree fruit wine.

With a smile on the corner of the shop waiter's mouth, he bowed slightly. "I'm sorry for the customers, but the tree fruit wine in this store is sold by the glass, not the forum."

What, drinks are sold by the glass, this is the first time I have heard of this statement, it is really ridiculous.As soon as the waiter's voice fell, the hall instantly boiled like a pan of boiling oil.

"I have never heard of such a saying that wine is sold by the glass, and I really think that what I sell is fine wine." A young man at table six was full of disdain.

"Tree fruit wine, I've never heard of it." The guest at table three raised his mouth sarcastically.

"Ziyin." Chu Yu said suddenly.

"What are you doing?" Qu You quickly pressed Chu Yu's right hand.

"Looking for death..." Chu Yu stared at the diners present with his cold eyes.

"We open a shop and do business, and we earn money from other people's pockets. Why can't we let them say a few words, and they will not lose a piece of meat." Qu You smiled nonchalantly.

Chu Yu lowered his head, held Qu You's catkin with his backhand, and smiled faintly.

"Old Jiu, you will have today." Chu Xu looked at Chu Yu who was bristling with anger, not to mention how proud he was.Tsk tsk tsk, how about it, your Prince Rui of the Great Chu Kingdom also fell in love one day, it really is a western scene.

"Envy?" Chu Yu raised his eyebrows.

Envious... Yes, really envious.Chu Xu got up and walked to the window, looking far ahead, the woman he abandoned seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

The topic of selling tree fruit wine by the cup has been discussed for a long time in Jin Yu Man Tang.These diners didn't dare to disturb Qu You, the boss, so they had to arrest the waiter, hoping that he could go over and intercede with Qu You and sell them a jar of wine.

"My lord, this is the shop's rule, and I dare not violate it." The waiter in the shop still had a good temper and laughed along with him.

"Forget it, forget it, give us a copy whether it's on the cup or the forum." The customer who ordered wine at the second table seemed to agree by default, urging the waiter to serve the wine quickly.

"Okay, the guests at the second table have four glasses of fruit wine." The waiter flicked the rag and shouted loudly.

"Hey, give us four cups too."

Xiaoer just wanted to go to the back kitchen to get wine, but was stopped by the guests at table six.

"Okay, you'll be here later." Xiaoer took a pen to draw a few strokes on the notebook, then turned and entered the back kitchen.

Tree fruit wine, heh, let's just wait for this fine nectar.The other diners who didn't order wine waited to see the joke.

Not long after Xiaoer entered the kitchen, he came out with a wine glass.Everyone looked at it, yo, the cup is quite beautiful, so the meaning of selling the wine by the cup is to sell the cup.

"Guest officer, the wine you ordered." The waiter put the empty glass on the second table.

The guests at the second table saw that it was an empty glass, so they stopped immediately, "You Jinyu Mantang, did you make a mistake? We came in for dinner, and you can sell your drinks by the glass. Why are you still serving an empty glass?" Already."

"Guest officer, don't worry." The shop clerk smiled faintly, raised his hand and clapped lightly.

Following Xiao Er's high-fives, a charming little lady came out from the back kitchen, holding the flagon lightly in Qianqian's jade hand, her steps were graceful, slim and thin, her delicate temperament seemed to fall when the wind blows over, which made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart There will be a surge of love.

What is she?Chu Yu turned his head and stared at the woman without blinking.

"Chu Yu..." Qu You pushed Chu Yu hard.

You bastard, men really don't have a good thing. After eating my mother's tofu, they dare to look at other women.Qu You bit her lip, wishing she could pounce on Chu Yu to death.

Heh... Chu Xu's disconcerting voice sounded.

"The vinegar tastes great." Chu Xu fanned his nose exaggeratedly.

White-eyed wolf, what are you talking about, the white-eyed old lady has berry wine, I'll spit it out for the old lady.Qu You glared at Chu Xu fiercely, then turned around and continued to stare at Chu Yu angrily.

"Why is she here?" Chu Yu turned around and asked Qu You belatedly.

"Why, she is your old friend." Qu You sneered.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Yu frowned.

"Then do you know who she is?" Qu You continued to ask.

"How come no one knows about her?" In the solemn atmosphere, Chu Xu interjected.

What, she is very famous?Qu You was puzzled.

"You don't know who she is?" Chu Yu looked at Qu You in disbelief.

"I don't know, Qianhun brought it back, saying that he came to join me." Qu You shook his head, completely confused.

When Mu Qianhun brought her back, there were almost no good spots on her body, and she was bloody like a blood gourd, making it impossible to see clearly.If she hadn't used Ziyun ginseng to hang her, maybe she would have died long ago.Qu You tilted her head, looked at Chu Yu puzzled, and hoped that he could explain to him.

"She is the Poison Lady, Liao Caiyi." Chu Yu kept looking at the Poison Lady, fearing that she would attack suddenly.

"Poison lady?" What the hell.

"That's right, the poisonous lady Liao Caiyi is the number one expert in using poison in the world," Chu Xu continued.

"But, why did she come here?" Qu You didn't understand.

"Then I have to ask you." Chu Xu had an expression of 'you are an idiot'.

As soon as Chu Xu finished speaking, Chu Yu, who had been watching Liao Caiyi, also turned his head.The two of them stared at Qu You with dead eyes, watching her swallow her saliva fiercely, and the pressure suddenly doubled.

"I, I don't know why, but I saved her with purple cloud ginseng, and then she will recognize me as the master." Qu You lowered her head, and said the whole story in a nasty manner.

It turned out that in order to avoid being chased by her enemies, the poisonous lady happened to hide in the training ground in the village.When Mu Qianhun was on duty that day, he found the dying poisonous lady. In view of the friendship that day, he couldn't bear to see her dead here.So, taking advantage of the dead of night, he secretly carried her down the mountain and handed her over to Qu You for treatment.Qu You rescued her with a secret method, and in order to repay her life-saving grace, the poisonous lady willingly sold herself to join Qu You.

"Oh, that's why she took refuge in you." Chu Xu nodded, as if he understood.

"But, I don't know who she is." Qu You shrank her neck in fear.If she knew that Poison Lady is so powerful, she would think about it.

"Where did Ziyun ginseng come from?" Chu Xu changed the subject and looked at Qu You sharply.
