The last time they passed by Yangtou Mountain, Li Hu and others could only entertain them with simple meals, not even drinks.
This time Zhu Shenzui brought some food and drinks with him on his return trip, so naturally he wanted to have a few drinks.
Drinking wine and eating food, several people chatted happily.
Zhu Shenzui's kindness to Li Hu and others made them extremely grateful. Li Hu and others also greatly admired Zhu Shenzui's magnanimity and loyalty. After three rounds of drinking, the two sides became even more intimate after passing the wrong glasses.
Zhu Shenzui drank wine and once again pointed out the things that Li Hu and others needed to do next in Yangtou Mountain, including matters that need to be paid attention to when using Yangtou Mountain as a base for salt walking in the future.
Li Hu and others had never done this before. After listening to Zhu Shenzui's careful explanation, including some details and points that needed attention, they could be said to be enlightened and nodded repeatedly.
Not only that, Zhu Shenzui also put forward a lot of opinions on other arrangements, especially how to open up the situation in the future. What Zhu Shenzui said was profound and well-founded, even if Li Hu and others did not say much about it. I can understand it even after reading the book, and I admire Zhu Shenzui very much.
Moreover, Zhu Shenzui also painted a bright future for them. As long as they develop slowly according to his ideas, it may not be long before the Yangtou Mountain side can not only be self-sufficient, but also become better. By then, everyone's life will not be as hungry and full as it is now. In the future, everyone in Yangtou Mountain will have food to eat and clothing to wear. From time to time, they can also cut some meat for tooth sacrifices and so on. Marry a wife and have many children. Boy, the best days are yet to come.
Ordinary people are very simple, and their whole life is nothing more than keeping their wives and children warm on the kang, eating well, and wearing warm clothes. Listening to Zhu Shenzui's description of a bright future, Li Hu and others' eyes shone and they couldn't help but be happy.
Zhu Shenzui's drinking capacity is very good, which is the same as before he came to this era. When he was working in the past, Zhu Shenzhui would go out with his boss to drink Maozi, and he could do it without breaking a pound. No one in this unit could match him.
Distilled liquor already existed in the Ming Dynasty. As the birthplace of Fenjiu, Shanxi was naturally one of the first places to produce liquor. However, the alcohol content of liquor is not high at this time, and few people drink this kind of spirit. Usually, It's still home-brewed wine.
The so-called self-brewed wines are generally rice wine and rice wine. The cost of the former is much higher, while rice wine is much cheaper. Most ordinary people drink the latter.
When he returned to Yangtou Mountain this time, Zhu Shenzui specially brought several jars of wine to Li Hu and the others, and he opened one today. This pot weighs about ten kilograms. Several people have drank half of it, so the average amount is one kilogram.
This small amount is nothing to Zhu Shenzui, let alone a pound. If he drinks it slowly from this jar, drinking it all in one night will just mean he can sleep a little longer.
However, Li Hu's drinking capacity is far less than that of others, and the rice wine is not low in alcohol content, but the alcohol content is not small. Li Hu is slightly better, but Lu Yisheng and Hu Lin are already drunk, and their words are a little confused. He toasted Zhu Shenzui vigorously to express his admiration.
Zhu Shenzui did not refuse anyone who came, and drank until the bowl was dry with a smile. After another round of drinking, the two of them couldn't hold it anymore. They were shaking their heads and were about to continue getting the wine. Suddenly Lu Yisheng fell directly on the table and became drunk. As for Hu Lin, he was even more unbearable. He slipped directly under the table and fell asleep drunkenly in the blink of an eye.
"Six... Master Liu... What I admire the most... in my life is you... a capable person like you... I am a rough... rough person... no... can't say anything, I mean... ...The meaning is all in the wine...the wine, I...I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Liu... Mr. Liu..."
Li Hu stuck his tongue out, blushed, picked up the bowl in front of him, and stood up with force. His whole body was shaking, the hand holding the wine was shaking, and he spilled a lot of wine in the bowl.
"Tiger, I accept your wishes, drink slowly..."
"No... you can't drink it slowly... I... I want to respect you... I've done it... I've done it!" Li Hu said, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand. After drinking, he shouted at Zhu Shen Zhui flashed the bottom of the bowl, grinned and was about to say something, when his whole body suddenly fell backwards.
Fortunately, Zhu Shenzui and Zhang Xijun, who had not drunk much, quickly grabbed hold of him, preventing Li Hu from falling directly to the ground. But even so, Li Hu was also drunk like his two brothers, and he was so drunk that he started snoring.
He quickly called Li You over and helped Li Hu and the other three people lie down in the back. After they were settled, Zhu Shenzhui breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the three people sleeping soundly, he couldn't laugh or cry.
The three of them were lying down before even finishing the wine. How could Zhu Shenzui and Zhang Xijun still drink? That’s it, that’s it for today. After getting up, Zhu Shenzui asked Li You to take care of the three of them first, said that he would go out to change clothes, and then left the main hall.
When he got outside and found a deserted place, Zhu Shenzui unbuttoned his trousers and watered the flowers with some fertilizer. Although this wine was nothing to him, drinking too much would put a heavy burden on his body. After solving this problem, he immediately felt much more relaxed. Moreover, the mountain breeze blew on his face in the evening, and the slight feeling of drunkenness dissipated with just one blow.
After putting on his trousers, Zhu Shenzui returned to the main hall, but before he could reach the main hall, a voice came from the darkness in the corner outside.
"Sixth Master!"
Turning around, he saw Zhang Xijun standing by the wall outside the hall. It was dark outside and there was no starlight tonight. Although he was not drunk, his reaction was not as alert as when he was not drinking. If Zhang Xijun hadn't called him, Zhu Shen Zhui didn't even pay attention.
"Master Zhang, why did you come out?"
"It's stuffy inside, come out and let the alcohol out." Zhang Xijun pointed at the main hall and replied.
Zhu Shenzui nodded at him and said that it was windy outside, so it was better not to blow too much after drinking. Just as he was about to continue walking towards the palace, Zhang Xijun suddenly called out to him: "Sixth Master, can you take a step to speak? "
Zhu Shenzui was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at Zhang Xijun again. In the darkness, he couldn't see the expression on Zhang Xijun's face clearly, but he could hear the sincerity in Zhang Xijun's words just now.
Zhu Shenzui thought for a moment, stopped, and walked towards Zhang Xijun. Zhang Xijun thanked him, and then led Zhu Shenzui away from the hall, and after a while they arrived at the back of the hall.
Although this was the second time they met Zhang Xijun today, compared to Li Hu and others, Zhu Shenzui and Zhang Xijun did not even exchange a few words with each other.
Except for the first time Li Hu introduced Zhang Xijun, Zhang Xijun seemed to be a transparent person in Li Hu's team, and he never took the initiative to speak. Even when they were drinking together, Zhang Xijun remained silent except for accompanying Zhu Shen. After Zhui drank a few bowls of wine, he was just there to accompany the guests.
In Zhu Shenzui's eyes, he was also somewhat curious about Zhang Xijun. After all, Zhang Xijun was a scholar. Logically speaking, how could a scholar mix with people like Li Hu and go to Yangtou Mountain? What’s even more surprising is that Zhang Xijun’s status in Li Hu’s gang is also very special. Although he is not Li Hu’s sworn brother, he is considered the number one figure in Sheep Head Mountain. To use Taoist words to describe it, his status is still that of Lu Yisheng. Along with Hu Lin, he could barely be regarded as the second-in-command.
Following behind, Zhang Xijun found two flat stones and asked Zhu Shenzui to sit on them. Zhu Shenzui didn't care and sat down directly.
Zhu Shenzui was not only curious about Zhang Xijun, but also curious about what he wanted from him. As for the other Zhu Shenzui, he didn't think much about it. In his eyes, Zhang Xijun was just a scholar with no fighting skills. He didn't know any martial arts at all. When he was robbed, Zhang Xijun was holding a knife, but Zhu Shen Zhui could tell at a glance that he looked like a guy. He was holding a knife in a manner that would be difficult to kill even a chicken, let alone a person.
Zhu Shenzui was so skilled that he could deal with two or three people like Zhang Xijun with his eyes closed, so he didn't worry at all that Zhang Xijun would be detrimental to him.
After An An sat down, Zhu Shenzui asked Zhang Xijun what he wanted to say to him.
Who would have thought that Zhu Shenzui was quite surprised when Zhang Xijun opened his mouth, because Zhang Xijun did not beat around the bush at all and told Zhu Shenzui directly that he did not want to stay in Sheep Head Mountain and planned to follow Zhu Shenzui.
