pampering wife

Chapter 2

Qingmei gave her a wink, and Changsheng cleverly led the guest to the long table next to the wall, and introduced: "This is Chunerzi, the color is bright yellow and clear, and the mouth is soft and fragrant. This is pomegranate red, see if the color is right?" Looks good? This wine is clear and refreshing, with a strong aroma, very delicious. This is green bamboo leaves..." Qing Mei taught him to memorize these words very well, and said them very smoothly.

When Chang Sheng finished the introduction, the complacency and satisfaction on Qing Mei's face were barely noticeable.She raised her face, and there was still a lingering smile in her bright eyes: "Which one do you like, sir? Pour a few glasses and have a taste."

Mr. Jin Yi was taller than Qingmei by a head, pointed at the bright red wine on the far side and said, "What about this one?"

"This is my daughter's drunkenness. It tastes sweet and soft. I'm afraid it might not suit your taste." Qingmei explained.

"How do you know it won't suit my taste?" Jin Yi Langjun asked seriously, his voice was like cool spring water.

Qing Mei froze for a moment, saw that the corners of his lips moved as if he was smiling, and understood that he was joking, so she didn't say any more.Her eyes fell on his knuckle-knuckle hands, Qingmei saw him pointing at several cups, she said to Changsheng: "Chun Erzhui, Cuizhuye, Amber Guang each have a cup." Changsheng beside him poured wine and presented it.

Mr. Jin Yi tasted the wine slowly, his brows gradually relaxed, and he nodded when he had tasted all three cups and said: "It's a good wine." After hearing this, the attendants behind him took a piece of silver from the purse and handed it to him. Qingmei smiled and said, "Let's have a pot of each."

Changsheng went to fill the wine, and Qingmei made a crisp quotation: "Chun'er dropped one hundred coins, green bamboo leaves and amber light were both eighty coins, a total of 260 coins." Turning around, she walked to the cashier and weighed the broken silver with a dice , Counted some copper coins and paid them back.No abacus beads are used, but the numbers are accurate.

The attendant was a little surprised, and asked: "What's the name of the young lady?" Seeing Qingmei looking up at him, he added: "My Sanlang lives in the Tung Blossom Inn next door. Call me little lady?"

The man in brocade shirt also looked over with a pair of ink-like eyes.

Qingmei answered quickly: "Oh, my name is Qingmei."

"My name is Danqing. My Sanlang's name is Wei Li, and people call him Wei Sanlang." The attendant reported out of the house like pouring beans, then carried three wine gourds in his hand, and followed Wei Li away.

Qingmei wrote down a sum in the account, then cleared the account book, and finally found that the goal was only more than 300 taels short, and she was both happy and worried.

The good news is that the tavern's business has been getting better and better in the past two years, and the fruit wine has an excellent reputation. If they go to the capital to open a tavern, they will naturally be able to reach a higher level.What is worrying is that she has never met that aunt, so she doesn't know her temperament at all. I am afraid that there are many rules in the Shangshu Mansion, and I don't know if the tavern will be able to open smoothly by then, alas!

She was full of melancholy, and she was a little restless when eating dinner. Seeing her listless after the meal, Mrs. Xu urged her to read a book. After returning to the house, Qingmei read a book for a while and fell asleep.

The next day Qingmei was still hiding in the house reading, but the history book in her hand had been replaced with a newly engraved vernacular, telling stories about gods, ghosts and monsters.She was looking at it with great interest, when she heard Yingzi call her from outside the window: "Little shopkeeper, there are guests looking for you outside."

Is there a guest looking for her?Qingmei put the story book on the mirror stand next to her, stepped on her embroidered shoes and walked out.Usually when guests come, they can be greeted by Changsheng, and they are looking for her... Could it be that Wu Jin, the daughter of the sheriff who loves to find trouble, is here again?Or the dumb king of the county lieutenant's family?It's not a good thing for these two people to come, Qingmei feels helpless.

When I arrived at the shop, I saw a young gentleman sitting at the elm table. He was handsome and handsome in brocade clothes and short boots. It turned out to be Wei Li.

It turned out that the rich master came to the door!Qingmei felt happy instantly, she went up to greet her and said: "Wei Sanlang is here, what wine do you want today?"

"Two pots of amber light." Wei Li clasped his fingers on the table, and the sound of light tapping like jade filled his ears, which was very pleasant.

Qingmei asked Changsheng to fill the wine, and said to Wei Li: "The fruit wine in the store is also good, Wei Sanlang, do you want to try it?" She had a successful start yesterday, and today she plans to sell him more wine.What's more, fruit wine is not easy to intoxicate, and it is suitable for both men and women. If he feels good after drinking it, recommending it to others or buying it as a gift, isn't it all a good thing?
She seemed to be able to see that the money in Wei Li's purse had grown wings and flew towards her with a clatter.

Wei Li was really interested, raised his eyebrows and said, "Try a cup."

"The green plum wine in the store is the most popular, so let's try it first." Qingmei waved with a smile, and Chang Sheng poured a glass of wine.

When Meizi Tavern opened, it only sold shochu, and the money it earned every day was just enough to make ends meet.Later, Qingmei learned how to make fruit wine, and worked hard to improve it. The fruit wine produced has a rich and unique taste, which gradually attracted many people.After the reputation spread, some official ladies and wealthy daughters came to buy wine, and the business gradually improved.

Among the many fruit wines, green plum wine is her favorite.

The green plum wine she brewed was picked from the green plums in the mountains and forests outside Wancheng, carefully selected, washed, carefully removed the pits, and soaked in rice wine or yellow rice wine.It takes a lot of effort from picking fruit to sealing the vat to make wine. After brewing, take a sip, that taste!Those who have tasted it all praise it.

Wei Li drank the wine in the glass slowly, with a look of admiration, and when he looked at Qingmei, his eyes became brighter: "You made this?"

Qingmei nodded.After all, she is of limited age, and when her favorite wine is praised, she can't help but feel complacent. She raised her chin slightly and said with a smile, "How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"This wine is not bad, the little girl is quite capable. But the taste and name of the wine are more suitable for women. I'm afraid there are not many male customers in the tavern?" Wei Li raised his eyes and looked at Qingmei, and it was rare to say such a long series of words.

Qingmei admired him very much when he pointed out the weakness of the tavern, so she smiled and said: "The skill is still shallow, and I can't make mellow and rich wine for the time being, so I will make you laugh." She couldn't help but scrutinized Wei Li carefully. .

His skin is very fair, if it is not born with a particularly good skin quality, it is a good food environment after birth.His hands are slender and his fingers are slender, holding the wine glass in a leisurely manner when he was a child. The cloud brocade gown on his body has fine lines and fine workmanship.There is also the jade pendant around her waist, although Qingmei is not very good at distinguishing jade, she still feels that it is warm and lustrous, and it is of the highest grade.Judging by his style, I'm afraid he has a lot of background, right?
While her thoughts were in a hurry, Changsheng next to her had already packed a pot of green plum wine and two pots of amber light, and Qing Mei said: "The two pots of amber light cost 160 Wen, green plum wine is more expensive, it is 140 Wen, which is exactly [-] Wen. "

Wei Li nodded, picked up three wine gourds, and put a silver ingot of ten taels on the table.

Qingmei put it away, gave Changsheng a wink, and Changsheng went to the cashier to get the silver.Wei Li had already walked to the account counter, knocked on the account book and said: "Remember it first." Looking back at Qingmei, he went out.
