Big dreamer

Latest website: In the following time, Shen Luo and Lu Huaming returned to Chang'an, walking and walking, eating and drinking, which gave Shen Luo a rare and comfortable life.

However, when approaching Chang'an, Lu Huaming suddenly received a secret order from the government, asking him to deal with other matters. This ended the good time for the two of them traveling together, leaving Shen Luo to go on his way alone.

More than a hundred miles outside Chang'an City, near the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there are thousands of peach trees.

In the spring of March, peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains. Thousands of hectares of peach groves are covered with pink makeup. The fragrance of flowers fills the field, attracting countless swallowtail butterflies.

In Chang'an City, both dignitaries and ordinary people would come here with their families for a spring outing, enjoy the magnificent scenery, and buy a few pots of peach blossom wine made from last year's flower petals.

This has almost become the custom of welcoming the spring in Chang'an City.

Therefore, outside these thousands of hectares of peach trees, a small settlement town with winemaking as its main industry gradually formed.

Naturally, it is not late spring now, but it has passed midsummer and is approaching the beginning of autumn. Not only are there no tourists coming to Taolin Town, but many businesses in restaurants and inns have closed down because there is no business.

At this moment, Shen Luo came to Taolin Town alone.

Of course, he was not here to enjoy the flowers, but was entrusted by Lu Huaming to come to the town to find a restaurant called "Taohuawu". .

The owner of this restaurant is a little different from others. Not only can he use peach blossoms to make wine, but he can also use peach flesh to make a kind of fruit wine. The taste is sour and sweet, and the smell is fragrant. It is the only one in Taolin Town.

However, the brewing cycle of this kind of peach pulp fruit wine is short, and it is not as mellow as other wines, so it can be stored for a short period of time. It can only be purchased during the current season. Once the time has passed, you can only wait until the next year to buy it again. .

It was precisely for this reason that Shen Luo agreed to help Lu Huaming buy two jars of fruit wine before the end of the season.

Business in the town was deserted, and most of the shops were either completely closed or had their doors closed. Shen Luo followed Lu Huaming's description and walked from one end of the town to the other before he saw the "Taohuawu" bar at a corner.

This is a small shop specializing in selling wine. There are no tables, chairs or benches for entertaining. There is only one entrance stall. Drinks can be bought and taken away. The price is quite reasonable. One or two bottles of peach blossom wine, one jar of ten liang, and one or two halves of peach fruit wine. One pot, fifteen taels per jar.

However, on the sign posted, there were two big words written in black and white, "Sold out."

Shen Luo looked at those two words and sighed in his heart, knowing that he was afraid that his trip would be in vain.

But even after walking this far, I still have to go up and ask before I give up.

Before he could get close, he heard a crisp female voice coming from the shop:

"Why are you such a scoundrel customer? I told you more than ten times that these two jars of wine are reserved for regular customers and cannot be sold to you. Why didn't you listen?"

"Little girl, if you are a regular customer, please leave him two pots, which only totals thirty taels. I give you ten taels of silver, and you sell me a pot. Is this the total amount?" Outside the stall of the shop, a graceful man wrapped in snow-white fox fur was seen. The man begged, refusing to give up.

There is an emerald jade pendant hanging on his waist, which is filled with a faint spiritual energy. At a glance, you can tell that it is not an ordinary thing.

Shen Luo walked forward and came to the man in the fox fur coat. He saw a pretty little girl standing in the stall. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she had a braided braid and was neatly dressed. He also wore a gray cloth apron and looked very smart and capable.

"Does the store still sell peach fruit wine?" Shen Luo asked.

The little girl couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this.

When Shen Luo saw this, he realized that the word "Sold Out" had been posted outside the store. He was really asking questions knowingly.

"Um...can you sell me a pot, just one pot." Shen Luo said a little embarrassed.

"Here comes another one. If you don't want to sell it, I won't sell it. The remaining two jars of wine are reserved for regular customers. If you say you won't sell them, you won't sell them." The girl waved her hands impatiently, pretending to move the stall's baffle. Install it and go out of business completely.

"Oh, don't..." Seeing this, the man in fox fur quickly stretched out his hand to block her, but was glared back by the girl.

The man in fox fur stopped talking.

Shen Luo turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered something and asked quickly: "Shopkeeper, the regular customer you left these two bottles of wine for is a person named Lu Huaming, right?"

"Hey, how do you know?" The girl stopped moving and asked in surprise.

When Shen Luo heard this, he felt calm.

Lu Huaming said before that he went here every year to buy two jars of wine for seven or eight years. Speaking of which, he was a regular customer among regular customers.

It's just that he didn't mention that the wine was not easy to buy before, so Shen Luo guessed whether the regular customer the little girl mentioned was Lu Huaming.

"Hey, he had something to do this year and couldn't come. I was afraid of delaying the drinking period, so he asked me to come over and buy wine for him." Shen Luo said quickly.

"Oh, how do you prove it?" The girl looked at Shen Luo up and down and asked doubtfully.

"Well...he really didn't give any proof." Shen Luo scratched his head and suddenly felt a little bit difficult to handle.

"Then how can I believe you? You didn't come to trick me just after hearing your name?" The girl frowned and put her hands on her hips.

Shen Luo thought for a moment and immediately came up with a plan.

As soon as he raised his hand, water vapor evaporated from his palm, and a water barrier spread out in front of the girl. The light floated on it, and Lu Huaming's image appeared vividly on it.

"Look, girl, if I didn't know Lu Huaming, I wouldn't be able to do this, right?" Shen Luo asked.

The girl glanced at the water curtain scroll, and her eyes suddenly lit up, not only because she discovered that the man was indeed Lu Huaming, but also because she was amazed by Shen Luo's magical skills.

"It seems that you really know Brother Lu, so you can take this wine for him, but he hasn't paid for it yet." The girl nodded and said.

"It doesn't matter, I'll pay, I'll pay." Shen Luo shouted quickly.

The girl collected the money and immediately turned around to go to the shelf at the back. She took down the last two jars of peach wine, placed them on the counter at the stall, and pushed them to Shen Luo.

When Shen Luo was about to pick up the drink, two big hands suddenly came over and gave Shen Luo a fist.

"Fellow Taoist, can you put this peach fruit wine in the next jar?" The graceful man in fox fur asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm buying it for someone else, I'm sorry." Shen Luo returned the gift and didn't want to get too entangled.

"You don't want a jar, just a pot, just a pot." Upon seeing this, the fox-furred man immediately changed his words and stretched out a finger without any hesitation.

Shen Luo turned around and saw that his handsome features were full of expectation, his amber eyes flashed with anticipation, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move up and down as he swallowed saliva.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the alcohol bug in his stomach has been aroused.
