Chapter 224 Teach Me Martial Arts
But after hearing a lot of reasoning from the shopkeeper Luo Li, he said: "However, there is really such a kind of wine in my winery, called Zhuyeqing, which is brewed by winemakers in western Shanxi from bamboo leaves and medicinal materials. It came out, but the wine was shipped over from the west of Shanxi, so the price is a bit high, ten-year-old Zhuyeqing costs one or two taels of silver per catty."

"Ah?" Ye Weilan couldn't help but grinned a little after hearing the price. "The 18-year-old Daughter Hong only costs a penny a catty. Why is this bamboo leaf green so expensive?"

Because she often visits the wine shop these days, the shopkeeper has a good impression of her, so he explained to her with a smile: "This bamboo leaf green is brewed with white wine as the base, with bamboo leaves and many medicinal materials in it. , has many functions such as calming and warming the stomach, soothing the liver and benefiting the spleen, promoting blood and nourishing blood, smoothing qi and eliminating troubles, promoting digestion and promoting body fluid, etc. In Liaocheng, it is easy to sell, and rich people like to drink this. However, this bamboo leaf green They were all transported thousands of miles from the west of Shanxi, so the price is naturally expensive."

Only then did Ye Weilan realize that this Zhuyeqing was medicinal wine, after thinking about it, she said, "I don't bring that much money today, give me five catties first."

"Okay!" the shopkeeper agreed, and sent the waiter to get some wine.

Ye Weilan took out silver from her purse to pay the bill. Five catties of ten-year-old Zhuyeqing was worth six taels of silver. Her heart ached a bit, and she felt that she was making money a little too slowly. Otherwise, she might not be able to handle it. Her future master's drink.

The man carried a five-jin package of wine rice from the shelf at the back, and put it under the eaves under her command.

The little guy couldn't help laughing and said: "Little girl, didn't you buy this wine for that wine lunatic?"

Ye Weilan gave him an unhappy look, "Don't call him a drunk maniac, he's sober!"

After dismissing the man, she stood under the eaves of the wine shop and waited.

It was almost noon when she saw a shaky figure approaching from the street in the south of the city, and she rushed to meet him, "Uncle!"

The down-and-out man carried a dead goat on his shoulders today, and walked unsteadily towards the banquet building. When he saw someone blocking the way, he squinted his eyes and hiccupped: "Little girl, do you want to buy a sheep?"

Ye Weilan's face wrinkled like a steamed bun because of his smell, "Uncle, I don't buy sheep, but I can buy you a drink."

The down-and-out man walked past her with a smile and walked towards the gate of the banquet building, muttering: "I sold the sheep, so I can have money for wine."

Ye Weilan ran after him with two short legs, stopped him again, and then pointed to under the eaves of the winery, "Look, uncle, I bought you ten-year-old Zhuyeqing, the uncle in charge of the winery said This is good wine, better than the burning knife you drink every day."

"Zhuyeqing?" Perhaps these three words woke up the sleeping wine worm, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

Speaking of it, it seems that he hasn't drunk Zhuyeqing for a long time.

But then again, he has always used wine to drown his sorrows, and he doesn't care whether he is drinking fine wine or jade liquid or a burning knife that costs thirty yuan a catty.

He suddenly felt that the little girl in front of him seemed to be getting more and more interesting. He squinted his cold eyes and said, "You want me to teach you martial arts in exchange for a jar of wine?"

Of course he knew what the little girl was thinking.

Ye Weilan's eyes were clear and determined, "I never thought that you could teach me martial arts in exchange for a pot of wine, I just want to express my sincerity in being a teacher to you."

"Hey——" he twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, carried the goat into the banquet building, exchanged half a tael of silver with the shopkeeper, grabbed Ye Weilan's little hand with his backhand, and stuffed the silver into her palm. "Take it, it's like paying back your drink money."

As he said that, he staggered to the eaves of the winery. Song Hengzhi was holding the carriage and stood beside him looking at the ten-year-old Zhuyeqing. When he saw him coming, he frowned subconsciously. It was nothing but him. It smells really bad.

But he immediately realized that his expression was a little rude, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Strong man, thank you for your help that day!"

The down-and-out man belched a foul-smelling wine, bent down to pick up the wine jar, slapped open the mud seal, raised his head and took a big gulp, and said with a smile, "It really is ten-year-old Zhuyeqing."

With that said, he strode away.

In fact, he really wanted to sit down and drink the wine in peace, but he just felt that if that was the case, this little girl would definitely pester him.She has already made him make an exception for her, and has disrupted his peaceful life of drunken dreams, and he doesn't want to live in more chaos.

Ye Weilan looked down at the broken silver in her hand, felt a little helpless, stood there and thought for a while, then walked into the winery, "Uncle shopkeeper, let me ask you, do you know where this wine lunatic lives?"

The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he shook his head, "I really don't know that."

The boy on the side said: "I seem to have heard of it. It is said that he lives in the forest at the foot of Yuluo Mountain. Some people saw him when they went to collect firewood in the forest. But it is said that in that forest There are tigers, so you must not go, it will be bad if you are eaten by tigers."

"Thank you buddy brother!" She thanked the buddy sweetly with a smile, then put the silver that the down-and-out man gave her on the counter, and took out some pieces of silver from the purse. "Uncle shopkeeper, give me another five catties of bamboo leaf green."

The shopkeeper of the wine shop couldn't help but asked strangely: "little girl, why are you so nice to this wine lunatic? Let me tell you, he is just a bottomless wine crate, no amount of wine is enough to drink. If he drank, he might go bankrupt, wouldn't he?"

"It doesn't matter. You saw what happened that day. He saved the lives of our family of three. I should repay his kindness."

The shopkeeper stopped persuading her, but took the money, and asked the boy to bring out a jar of ten-year-old Zhuyeqing. She asked the boy to help carry the wine jar into the carriage, and then asked Song Hengzhi to take her home.

When they got home, Li Yingzheng was walking around with Chen Xiaofu, sitting in the room talking and laughing together.

Ye Weilan hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Aunt Ying and Xiaofu are here!"

"Hmm!" Chen Xiaofu said with a smile, blushing. "I came to you to learn how to embroider."

"Sister Lan'er, come and see the chick!" Song Jiacong knelt on the kang, surrounded by a bamboo basket, saw her come in, and waved to her.

Ye Weilan walked over, and saw more than a dozen fluffy chicks in the bamboo basket, which were chirping.Can't help but say in surprise: "Ah, is this really a chick?"

Li Ying said with a smile: "Madam is about to give birth. I will send a few chicks over here. They will be able to lay eggs after a few months of raising them. At that time, they will be able to supplement Madam's health. Nowadays, the price of goods is getting more and more expensive, and the chickens sold outside Eggs cost three yuan each. The reason is that they are expensive. The main reason is that if you want to eat, you have to go to the city to buy them. "

Ye Weilan smiled and said, "I was just about to tell Aunt Ying to ask Aunt Ying to help me get a few chicks, but Madam thought of me. But I don't know what these chicks eat on weekdays?"

Li Ying said carelessly: "It's fine to eat wild vegetables, just ask Xiaofu to help dig more wild vegetables every day. In winter, if there are rotten leaves or something, just chop up whatever you want, and then make cornbread. Broken and put together."

Ye Weilan turned her face to Li Feng again and said: "Aunt Feng, speaking of it, our family has settled down now, we should dig out the vegetable patch in the backyard and grow some vegetables and fruits."

Li Ying said with a smile: "Miss Lan'er, you don't have to worry about these rough jobs. I have already done the calculation for you. In a few days, when the beginning of autumn begins, plant some cabbage and radishes first, and you will have vegetables to eat in winter." Wait until the end of August and early September, and then plant some yam eggs, and they will be ripe in February or March next year. As soon as spring next year, you can plant some seasonal vegetables, such as cucumbers, June persimmons, wax gourds, Pumpkins can be planted by then."

Li Feng said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have also learned to cultivate the land, and it is not difficult for me to tidy up a vegetable garden."

Song Jiayin said: "Mother, why don't we plant a jujube tree in the yard, then we can eat winter jujubes."

Ye Weilan also said enthusiastically: "I agree, just plant the jujube tree outside the stable. It would be great if I could plant another apple tree."

Li Feng smiled and said: "Okay, okay, we can plant whatever the lady says, but the season is over now, we have to wait until spring next year to plant."

Everyone chatted and laughed, Ye Weilan grabbed Chen Xiaofu's hand, turned Chen Xiaofu's hand over and looked at her fingers, and saw that her fingers were thick with burrs on them, so she knew that Chen Xiaofu must have been twitching every day. I was helping the family with housework, so I smiled and said, "Aunt Ying, logically speaking, I shouldn't say this, but now Xiaofu wants to learn embroidery from me. If he wants to embroider, his hands must not be thick, otherwise, he will hang the silk Yes, it's better to let Xiaofu do less housework in the future."

Sui Youran also said from the side: "Yes, Yingzi, I think Xiaofu has aura, and if she learns embroidery well, she will have a bright future. Our embroidery in Liaocheng has always been valuable, why don't you let Xiaofu do housework in the future Let her learn embroidery from Lan'er. You have worked hard for two years, and when she finishes learning, she will be able to earn money, so you will be relieved."

Li Ying said with a smile: "Sister, you don't know something. How can our farmers support idlers who don't work? If we can pamper her in our house and don't let her work, after another seven or eight years, When she grows up, she will go to someone else's house. At that time, how will people care whether she can embroider and earn money? If a waiter is not good, it is right and wrong. I am lucky, there is no mother-in-law, so I dare not say that I won’t catch up with an evil mother-in-law. Therefore, I have to teach her to do all the big and small jobs in this house. If I go back to my in-law’s house, I will let her point at my nose and say that I don’t know how to teach my daughter.”
