"The taste of fish slices with wine will indeed be even better.”
Li Xiaogong agreed with Li Yuan's words. When tasting fish in the palace, the Emperor would often ask people to bring out iced grape wine. Although it could not compare to the fish in front of him, it was still very refreshing.
"Did you hear that?" Li Yuan said proudly.
"I think you're thinking about my Maotai. However, there was no way to drink it even if he wanted to. He did not have a wine vessel to fill it up with.”Lu Xiu said.
"Isn't that simple? Wu He, go up the mountain and chop a few bamboos.”Li Yuan ordered.
"Yes." Wu He looked at the few people who were eating heartily, and his saliva was about to flow out. Speaking of which, he was ordered by the Emperor to persuade the Retired Emperor to return to the palace. How could he speak in this situation?
After a while, Wu He had already returned from the mountain with a few sections of bamboo.
"Little friend Lu, is it possible to use bamboo as a wine vessel?”Li Yuan smiled.
"Although it's simple, it can be used to store wine.”Lu Xiu took out a kettle filled with water and poured it into a few bamboo tubes. The tap water in the kettle had turned into mellow wine.
"It smells so good."
When the mellow Maotai was poured out, the fragrance of the wine spread. The strong smell of alcohol was completely different from what he had drunk before.
"Haha, isn't it beautiful to admire the scenery and wine at the same time?”Li Yuan drank a cup of wine. Unfortunately, because of the locusts, they could not enjoy the flowers this year.
"Good wine, good wine." After drinking a mouthful of Maotai, Li Xiaogong's body felt comfortable. The rich fragrance of the wine burned from his throat to his stomach like a raging fire.
He had never thought that there would be such a refreshing wine in the world. It was as strong as a horse, but the taste of the wine was strong and fragrant. It felt that even hundreds of years of aging could not compare to it. After drinking a mouthful of Maotai liquor and eating a mouthful of delicious fish, he felt that he had lived most of his life in vain. No wonder the Retired Emperor was unwilling to return to the palace. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy either.
When his daughter Yuyao married him and he became his father-in-law, wouldn't he be able to eat it with just a word?
"But the amount is too little." Li Yuan drank two cups and found that the kettle was almost empty. In the end, a cowhide kettle could only hold two catties.
"Yes, son-in-law, can you give me more?”Li Xiaogong said shamelessly.
"Don't call me that. We haven't even started yet.”Lu Xiu said.
"Little friend Lu, are you looking down on Yuyao?”Li Yuan stopped eating and looked at Lu Xiu in surprise.
Li Yuyao lowered her head, seemingly in a bad mood.
"How can that be? I'm just afraid that she won't be able to accept it. Before my father died, he warned me that if I wanted the Lu family to flourish, I had to marry a few more wives and have a few more children. So, Yuyao is the daughter of a rich family. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it.”Lu Xiu chuckled.
"What did this old man think it was? Isn't it just three wives and four concubines? Which man doesn't have a few concubines? This old man only took in a concubine last year.”Li Yuan said indifferently.
"It's fine, Yuyao won't mind. If he didn't have a few wives, he would be laughed at.。”Li Xiaogong said with a smile.
"Yes, the Lu Manor's population is indeed too small. I'm afraid Yuyao alone won't be able to complete the important task.”Li Yuan agreed.
His parents were no longer around, and the only one left was Lu Xiu, his only son. It was no wonder that he had such a request.
"Hehe, since that's the case, then after I cure Yuyao's illness, I'll find an auspicious day to propose marriage.”
Seeing that the two of them did not take it seriously at all, Lu Xiu could not help but sigh at the benefits of a feudal society.
In modern times, it would be good enough if he could marry a beautiful wife. However, since he had transmigrated and awakened his cheat, his requirements were naturally higher. If he met someone he liked, it would not be wrong to marry a few more women.
With his ability, it was easy for him to control a few women.
"Hehe, such a happy occasion. Little friend Lu, don't you want to have more good wine?”Li Yuan said.
"Alright, I'll let you guys drink enough today, alright? Zhou Xiang, go to the river and get more water.”Although Maotai was not a very strong liquor, it was much stronger than the Tang's ten-percent alcohol. Even if they were to drink it, they would not be able to drink much.
"Yes, Young Master."
Zhou Xiang took an empty kettle and filled it up from the river.
"You guys should eat some too." Lu Xiu gave them some of the sliced bluefin tuna meat to prevent his subordinates from starving.
The few of them should be drinking for a long time. They couldn't go back for dinner in a short time.
" Thank you for your reward, Young Master!!" Zhou Xiang's face was filled with joy. Seeing them eat so happily, Zhou Xiang and the others who were watching from the side were already extremely greedy.
They followed Young Master Lu Xiu, and what they looked forward to the most was being able to taste Young Master Lu Xiu's delicacies.
As Li Yuan's guard, Wu He took the cut fish and chewed it slowly. He carefully tasted the freshness of the fish, afraid that the fish in his hand would be eaten in one bite.
