Chapter 65 The Birth of a Playwright (Fourth)
In the evening, the headquarters of Lujia Restaurant.

Next door is the Qin family's newly opened restaurant, and from time to time, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and women's laughter can be heard from inside.

Compared with the bright lights and peaceful singing and dancing of Qin's Restaurant, the few guests in Lu's Restaurant seemed very deserted.

Suddenly, a man with an ugly face, wretched eyes and a short stature shouted: "What kind of broken wine is this, it fades away, is there any stronger wine!"

After finishing speaking, he raised the wine bowl in his hand and dropped it to the ground. With a "bang", the wine bowl fell apart, and other diners in the building also looked over.

"Brother Li, don't be angry. The brewing process of the spirits is very complicated and secretive. Xiliang Kingdom can only produce a few jars every year, and it is said that these jars of spirits were also sent to the royal family of Xiliang. , how can ordinary people drink it?"

The person sitting next to the ugly man is also an extremely ugly person, but he is much taller than the other person, and he is loudly trying to persuade the little ugly man.

Seeing the looks of these two people, the other customers took a breath of air with a "hiss": It's really ugly people who are doing more tricks!

"Hey, pity me and other wine lovers. There is obviously good wine in this world but you can't get it. It's so annoying!"

The little ugly man beat his chest and feet, his grief and indignation were abnormal.

Zhang Twelve looked at that little ugly man——Lu San, his eyes were full of approval, which was not there during the rehearsal. I didn't expect this kid to make up such a paragraph by himself, and The voice is full of emotion, and the appeal is very strong!

The two ugly people, one big and one small, are naturally Zhang Twelve and Lu San after the disguise. The two people who acted for the first time did not feel uncomfortable at all. play.

There are also many other customers in this building who love wine. Hearing Lu San's complaints, apart from sympathy, there is a feeling of sympathy.

Why don't they love wine, but no matter the Qin family or the Lu family in the world, all the wine comes from the same winery in Taizhou, the taste is the same, they are all the same - terrible.

But they still want to drink it even if it tastes bad. Who made them love wine?

Hey, I just heard that the Xiliang royal family has a kind of strong wine, even if they let them smell it, it would be nice!

If you can take a sip, what regrets will you have in this life?

…………

The middle-aged shopkeeper at the front desk secretly glanced into the room behind him, just in time to see Lu Fujing nodding to him, and then walked towards Zhang Twelve.

"Two guest officers, Lu is the shopkeeper of this Lu's restaurant. Hearing what you two said just now, do you think my Lu's wine is not good?"

"Hmph, how dare you say it's okay for such a weak drink?"

The little ugly man "played" by Lu San said with a dissatisfied face.

"Hehe, it just so happens that the two of you are here. My Lu family happened to come across a method of brewing spirits recently. I have been working on it for more than a few months, and finally brewed some spirits..."

The shopkeeper surnamed Lu is probably also an actor. At least from Zhang Twelve's point of view, this person's performance is flawless. If he is not a trustee, he will probably believe it.

"Is there any spirits? You are too dishonest as a shopkeeper. Since there are spirits, why don't you take them out and let me wait for someone who loves wine to taste them?"

Perhaps seeing that shopkeeper Lu was a bit stealing the spotlight, Lu San stood up directly, pointed at the crowd and said, his acting skills are overwhelming, and his rendering is full of power.

Sure enough, when these wine-loving customers heard what Lu Sanyi said, they all agreed and encouraged the shopkeeper Lu to take out the spirits.

Shopkeeper Lu smiled, and then said in a slightly "difficult" way: "This guest officer doesn't know, this strong wine is not only delicious and mellow, but also the wine making process is very complicated and special. The same catty of wine , the food and labor consumed are much more than that of the dirty wine, so the price..."

The meaning is self-explanatory, that is: spirits, yes, but the price is very expensive!
"You shopkeeper, why are you so wordy? It's just a bottle of wine. If it's good, what's the point of the higher price?"

Lu San waved his hand, with an expression of indifference.

"Hey—Brother Li, don't worry, of course you have to drink strong wine, but the price, you'd better ask in advance!"

The "cautious" style of the tall ugly man immediately won everyone's appreciation, and then they all looked at shopkeeper Lu, waiting for him to speak.

"This turbid wine costs five hundred Wen per catty, while our spirits cost five thousand Wen per catty!"

"Wow~~"

After the shopkeeper Lu finished speaking, the people in the building burst into exclamation. They were indeed shocked by the price of the spirits. Five thousand Wen, or five taels of silver, can buy this catty of spirits. It is indeed a bit expensive!

The little ugly man didn't speak anymore, he was frowning and thinking about something, suddenly, as if he had made some important decision, he took out a silver coin from his pocket, slapped it on the table and shouted: "It's just five taels of silver Well, I have! If the wine is really as good as you say, why not five taels of silver?"

The unruly performance of the little ugly man immediately won the applause of the audience, and the shopkeeper Lu also smiled, and said: "The guest officer is really courageous, Lu admires it! This strong wine is only for wine lovers like the guest officer to drink." It’s worth it!”

…………

"Come on, get out our spirits!"

Shopkeeper Lu yelled, and then a waiter came over with a round ceramic white altar. Shopkeeper Lu took it, put it on the table of Lu San and Zhang Twelve, and then opened the lid on the altar.

In an instant, the strong aroma of the wine in the jar filled the entire restaurant in an instant, and other customers had already gathered around looking for the smell, and then looked at the little ugly man, staring at the wine obsessively, and then leaned over. On the wine jar, he took a deep breath, and then said intoxicated: "Good wine, good wine, really good wine!"

Looking at Lu San's expression, Zhang Twelve bowed down. It's really a pity that this guy doesn't act.

In fact, what Zhang Twelve didn't know was that Lu San was acting at other times, but now, he really wasn't acting, because this was indeed the first time he smelled such a good smell of alcohol.

So now, it's just acting in its true colors.

…………

Lu San couldn't wait to pick up the jar and fill the wine bowl to the brim. He even forgot the rehearsed part of "Tasting Yipin", picked it up, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then the second bowl, the third bowl, raised his head three times, and drank it all at once, and the wine jar was only a catty of wine, and he had already bottomed out after drinking these three bowls.

Lu San's face was flushed, and his whole body was shaking, but he still didn't forget to say: "This wine... can only be... in the sky, but it's rare in the world... How many times... taste..."

After saying this, Lu San couldn't hold on any longer, and under everyone's gaze, he fell to the ground...

And after Zhang Twelve witnessed Lu San's dedicated performance after insisting on reading the last line before falling down, he felt admiration in his heart:

It is simply the birth of a playwright!
