Cheng Yaojin, who had gotten a lot of useful information from Li Ergou, bribed an old man in front of him with money. Soon, it was his turn. He also saw Lu Xiu, and the person he did not want to see the most was Retired Emperor Li Yuan!!
Retired Emperor Li Yuan had always disliked these important officials in front of His Majesty. Perhaps he thought that the change in Black Tortoise Sect was partially caused by them fanning the flames.
"Brother, what do you want?" Lu Xiu asked.
"Village Head Lu, I caught dozens of kilograms of locusts. Can I exchange them for anything?”
"Anything in the courtyard is fine."
Cheng Yaojin saw piles of flour and wheat in the yard, mainly grains.
However, he did not specially send people to catch locusts and go through all the trouble to come to Lu Manor to exchange for some food.
Although there had been a drought and locust plague for the past two years, Cheng Yaojin, who had a fief of more than a thousand acres, did not lack food.
"An wants to exchange it for a few catties of fine wine.”Cheng Yaojin followed Li Ergou's instructions.
"You want to change the wine?" Lu Xiu sized up the other party again. From the way he dressed, he did not lack money. The brocade jade clothes he was wearing were already a fortune that ordinary people could not earn in a year.
He did not know who had spread the news that someone would actually switch the wine. Lu Xiu thought about it and could not help but look at Li Yuan beside him.
"Humph." Li Yuan glanced at Cheng Yaojin. After recognizing him, Li Yuan's expression became a little unhappy." Don't look at me. I didn't say it."”
"I can exchange it for you, but the price of the wine is two catties of locusts for one catty. Also, you have to prepare your own wine container.”Lu Xiu said.
"Hehe, then change all of them to bars.”Cheng Yaojin asked someone to carry two large sacks of locusts up.
There was a total of 80 catties of locusts. Lu Xiu gave him a large barrel of wine.
The mellow Moutai emitted a fragrant aroma. Just the smell of the wine made Cheng Yaojin drool.
The servant of the Lu Manor did not lie to him. From the fragrance of the wine, it was indeed a rare wine.
He exchanged all of them for 40 catties of fine wine and even forgot to exchange them for a few king crabs.
Cheng Yaojin carried a wine barrel that weighed dozens of kilograms in one hand without any difficulty. How could he let his subordinates carry such fine wine? What if he fell?
Li Ergou was already waiting outside the main entrance of the Lu Manor, staring at Cheng Yaojin with eager eyes.
Cheng Yaojin also fulfilled his promise. He took the ladle that Li Ergou had prepared and gave him a big scoop, filling it into a kettle.
Li Ergou had long been envious. Without saying a word, he immediately poured a mouthful into his mouth.
"Gulp. It smelled so good, but it felt like there was a fire burning from his mouth to his stomach. So this was the taste of wine.”Li Ergou's fair and clean face instantly burned.
"I'll try it too." Cheng Yaojin had wanted to go back and drink it, but his defense was instantly broken when he saw Li Ergou tasting it in front of him.
Cheng Yaojin used a ladle as a container and drank a big mouthful. His face was covered in stubble.
"So strong!"
Cheng Yaojin didn't have time to taste it carefully. The rich and mellow wine fragrance and strong wine power erupted at the same time.
"Delightful. Good wine. Compared to it, I used to drink water.”
It was already good enough for Tang's wine making technology to produce wine with a content of more than 10%, but the Moutai in front of him was 53%. It could not be brewed without retorting.
Although the strong liquor was strong, Cheng Yaojin took one mouthful after another and drank half a catty in a short while.
"Father, you used all the locusts to exchange for wine?”He had just returned to Lu Manor from Chang 'an when he saw his father pouring spoonful after spoonful of water into his mouth from the bucket in front of the door.
Cheng Chumo didn't understand why his father would drink so much water, but when he smelled the wine, he finally understood what it was.
"Hehe, Chumo, I didn't expect to have such good wine.”Cheng Yaojin's face was completely red, and she stuttered a little.
"Father, can you give me a few mouthfuls too?”Cheng Chumo said eagerly.
"Come, drink with me." Cheng Yaojin stuffed the wooden ladle into Fang Mo's hand.
Although Cheng Chumo had seen Lu Xiu and the others taste it a few times, he had never had the chance to drink it. This time, he did not expect his father to be so smart and know how to exchange locusts for wine.
He had just run more than thirty miles and was a little thirsty, so he drank it directly.
"Ahem." Who would have thought that drinking it would be like a fire? The strong alcohol made Cheng Chumo cough.
"Hahaha, it's good, right? This is the first time I've drunk such strong wine. Don't drink so much on your first time. You can only experience its beauty by drinking it a little.”Cheng Yaojin said happily.
"Father, why didn't you say so earlier? However, after drinking it, the aftertaste was endless, especially the fragrance of the wine. Father, let me drink a few more mouthfuls." Cheng Chumo clicked his tongue.
"Get lost, I'll take the rest back and slowly drink it. You're in Lu Manor, so you're afraid that you won't be able to drink it in the future.”Cheng Yaojin glared at his son and covered the bucket as if he was protecting his son.
