Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "The world is lonely as snow, so it would be a pleasure to sit here when you have time. When the snow continues to fall, you can cook wine and enjoy the snow!"
For Li Xiuyuan right now, the Imperial City is a place where he can really sharpen his mind.
You can only look at everything and not take action. Perhaps this is what the old Taoist priest wants.
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Liang and said, "When you go to the market, buy me a thousand-year-old iron wood. I can use it."
Zhang Liang was stunned and blurted out: "Thousand-year-old iron wood? What do you want to use it for? It doesn't bother me. I'll go look for it in Neshang."
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Xiao Hei and Shuzi, I want to cut two wooden swords for them. You can use the bamboo sword."
When Xu Fu heard this, he smiled and said, "The imperial city does not prohibit weapons. Can I buy a handful of copper coins?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "The iron sword is a murder weapon, and I don't want their hands to be stained with blood."
Xu Fu laughed when he heard this, and thought that this was indeed an interesting guy. He obviously wanted to practice swordsmanship, but he didn't want his brother and sister to get blood on their hands.
If you tell me this, I'm afraid it will be hard to find in the world.
Zhang Liang laughed and said, "This is a simple matter. It concerns my Shuzi. This matter will be taken care of by me."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Seeing that the summer solstice will not be long, I quickly made wine while the spring scenery was still good."
When Xu Fu heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Shopkeeper Li, is there any difference between brewing wine in spring and summer?"
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and replied: "What's the difference? You can try it yourself and see if there is any difference in the wine brewed in spring, autumn and winter..."
He didn't want to explain too much about the truth. From now on, he wanted the two of them to try it themselves.
Spring flowers, autumn moon, winter snow, which season cannot make wine?
However, he likes the smell of spring. This is his own secret.
After chatting for a while, Li Xiuyuan took two jugs of wine and placed them in front of the two of them: "I give you this wine as a gift. Next time, you have to make it yourself."
Zhang Liang naturally wouldn't dislike it, so he thought for a while and asked, "Would you like me to go to the restaurant to prepare some dishes, so that you can stay drunk at night??"
Xu Fu drank up the remaining wine in his glass and said with a smile: "I've been disturbed a lot today. From tomorrow on, I will be Shopkeeper Li's student. I hope you'll bear with me."
Li Xiuyuan replied: "As long as you two are not afraid of hardship, you are welcome at any time."
For Li Xiuyuan, teaching Zhang Liang how to make wine can be regarded as a way to pass the time when he will be bored in his long life.
As for Xu Fu, Li Xiuyuan suddenly had other thoughts, but he didn't want to say it yet.
"It's easy to talk!" Xu Fu smiled: "There are many interruptions today, let's say goodbye first."
After saying that, he put down the wine bowl in his hand, carefully took care of his gown, and said goodbye to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan sent the two people outside and watched them walking to the carriage on the street. As if he remembered something, he said to Zhang Liang, "Do you want to go to the academy to pick me up?"
Zhang Liang was about to get on the carriage, turned around and waved and said: "It's okay, I told Xiao Hei to take my sister back home first!"
After saying that, the two got into the carriage, the driver waved his whip, the wheels shimmered on the bluestone, and they left slowly.
"Xu Fu who traveled eastward..."
Looking at the carriage gradually going away, Li Xiuyuan murmured to himself with a faint smile, "Interesting!"
…
Sitting quietly and watching the situation, Li Xiuyuan did not expect that Xu Fu, who wanted to travel eastward to find immortals, was waiting for him.
This was an interesting thing for him, and Quan even had a new idea. Since it would not disrupt the balance of heaven, it would be better to go out and explore the landscape of Daqin.
After clearing everything on the table, several regular customers came to buy wine.
Opening the door to sell wine was just a matter of breaking one's waist for a bucket of rice. Li Xiuyuan looked like a good businessman at this time. While getting wine for the guests, collecting money, he smiled and greeted a few times.
After sending away the wine-buying guests, it was getting late, and the sound of carriage wheels pressing against bluestones could be heard.
When he looked up, it was Xiao Hei who had come from the academy after school.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan standing at the door and preparing to close the door, he shouted loudly: "Brother, are you waiting for Xiao Hei here?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "You are now a student in the academy, you walk and talk well."
Xiao Hei took his arm and smiled: "I heard from Master that he was going to travel in the past few days, and he said he wanted to take Xiao Hei with him."
Li Xiuyuan touched his head and smiled: "Master is going out, this is a good opportunity for you to increase your knowledge."
Xiao Hei was startled when he heard this, and blurted out: "Xiao Hei and his wife are going on a trip, what should I do, brother?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly and said, "Let's talk about it later."
…
Xiao Hei dreams of traveling with his wife, but Li Xiuyuan wants to seize the tail of spring and make more wine.
Meeting Xu Fu unexpectedly made him think about going out for a walk.
If you can brew some more wine at this time and keep it for a few months, or even drink it in winter, it will be a fine wine.
Fortunately, Zhang Liang and his wife took leave these days, and spent seven days brewing twenty jars of wine with Xu Fu and Li Xiuyuan.
Xu Fu's third vat, Zhang Liang's second vat were brewed with corn, and the other ten vats were brewed by Li Xiuyuan with sorghum and black beans.
In his opinion, the wine he currently has in stock will gradually be enough to last for a year. If the time for traveling is excluded, it will last even longer.
After a few days of hard work, the three of them sat in the yard making tea and chatting.
The wooden sword in Li Xiuyuan's hand was almost completed, which made Zhang Liang envious. Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I thought about it, this is for you and Shuzi, Xiao Hei should continue to use the bamboo sword."
These days, Shuzi would follow Xiaohei to the small courtyard of the wine shop to practice swordsmanship for half an hour from time to time, and then return home with Zhang Liang.
Although Zhang Liang and Shuzi haven't learned how to cut snow yet, in Li Xiuyuan's opinion, as long as they practice hard for a winter, they will naturally be able to get started.
After Zhan Xue enters the door, it will naturally be much easier for the two of them to learn swordsmanship from the Master.
"Shopkeeper Li has worked hard to teach us these days, now I have to go back and try to do it myself!"
Holding a cup of hot tea. Xu Fu looked at Li Xiuyuan and said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment and said, "These are all small things. I'm afraid Mr. Xu won't have much time to stay in the imperial city."
Li Xiuyuan knew in his heart that Xu Fu would leave the imperial city soon.
Xu Fu was stunned and secretly thought that the news that I was going out had not spread. How could the people in front of him know?
Could it be that someone revealed this important news? For a moment, he was a little stunned.
"Brother, what do you say?"
Zhang Liang poured tea for the two of them and asked in a deep voice: "Why can't I understand anything you two said?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly, looked at Zhang Liang and said, "I'm just guessing about this. If Mr. Xu wants to tell you, that's fine."
"I just made a guess. The secret must not be leaked! Mr. Xu should understand this." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
Whether it was shopkeeper Liu or Xu Fu, Li Xiuyuan did not dare to tell what he knew. He was also afraid that it would affect the ending of the story in the long run.
Xu Fu, who was holding a cup of tea, was a bit incredulous. He frowned and asked, "Is it possible that this young gentleman can tell fortunes?!"
Li Xiuyuan, who was wiping his sword with a handkerchief, felt speechless. He looked at him and said calmly: "I can only understand these things? I can't express them in words. I just have a little intuition."
I wanted to have a good chat with Xu Fu about some future issues, but looking at Zhang Liang facing me, I thought that the two of them wanted to take different paths after all, and I didn't know what to say for a while.
When the words came to my lips, I realized that no matter what I said, it was wrong.
"Sir, shopkeeper, when will we be able to drink the wine we worked so hard to brew?"
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan didn't want to continue the previous question, Xu Fu wisely avoided it and then changed the topic. Maybe wait until tomorrow, maybe after Zhang Liang leaves, Li Xiuyuan will talk to him alone.
Zhang Liang simply made an exaggerated gesture and said with a smile: "I will ask a few guys to come over tomorrow and bring my wine back to the house and store it until next year."
Li Xiuyuan smiled without saying a word. From his point of view, since the two of them have learned almost enough, if they want to drink it in the future, they can brew it themselves.
Save yourself the trouble of doing it alone.
"It takes seven to ten days to drink in a hurry, but it's best to keep it for a month. It tastes best in a year."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the two of them and smiled: "Zhang Liang, you can continue brewing tomorrow. Remember to brew a vat for Master."
While he was talking, the sound of a carriage sounded on the street, and soon the old housekeeper from Zhang Liang's house walked in.
After greeting the three of them, he turned to Zhang Liang and said, "A relative has come to my hometown. Do you have to come back with me?"
"Is there someone at home?" Zhang Liang snorted, and then said to Xu Fu, "I have something to do. You two can chat slowly. I will find someone to come over tomorrow to carry the wine."
After saying that, he waved his hand and turned around and left the wine shop.
There was a sound of wheels and the carriage gradually moved away.
"Now, if the shopkeeper has anything to say, you can tell me directly." Xu Fu said with a faint smile.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "Actually, I just had a dream. Most of the things in the dream cannot be taken as true. I'm just going to say it, and you can just believe it..."
Xu Fu was startled, looked at him and asked nervously: "Tell me, what are you afraid of? I won't tell anyone until I die..."
Xu Fu looked at him in disbelief. He didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan actually dreamed of something.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, looked at him and said softly: "People say there are fairy mountains on the sea, and my husband and King Qin asked for orders to go and explore them. I have nothing to do, so I can accompany you on the journey."
Xu Fu had to go to sea three times, but in the end he failed to find the sacred mountain.
Only in the last time did Xu Fu find a beautiful island, so he proclaimed himself king and taught the locals how to farm, fish, whaling and paper-leafing, and never returned to Daqin.
Li Xiuyuan just wanted to witness the first adventure with Xu Fu. For him, this was not an adventure at all.
It's just a simple trip.
Xu Fu was shocked and thought that there were fairy mountains overseas, which was just an excuse for him and the King of Qin.
No one in Da Qin has ever verified it. How did the guy in front of me know that?
The expression on his face changed again and again, and Xu Fu asked carefully: "How did Shopkeeper Li know about this? Could it be that you have been to the sea?"
Li Xiuyuan was speechless for a moment and ignored him. He just said lightly: "It is said that there are fairy mountains in the East China Sea, but I just believe in it... After you go there, you will naturally know."
Xu Fu stepped forward and grabbed him, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said with a smile: "I don't have a fever. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Xiuyuan replied calmly: "I haven't been to the sea yet. If you are willing, sir, I would like to accompany you."
Regarding the initial cause and the final effect, Li Xiuyuan would not tell Xu Fu. He just wanted to see the sea of Daqin.
After all, in the battle in the North Sea of the Five Regions, he wiped out an army of 100,000 troops just on the beach, but in the battle of the South China Sea, he never went to the battlefield at all.
Not to mention that time in the Shenlong Continent when I took a hurried turn in the sea.
Regardless of whether Xu Fu can find his own fairy mountain in the end, Li Xiuyuan will not give him any advice.
This time, he is just a passer-by at most. At worst, he can help fight off bandits when they encounter them.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu smiled bitterly and said: "This is a thankless job. If the shopkeeper is not afraid of trouble, I would be willing to accompany you all the way."
Li Xiuyuan sighed softly. The Qin Empire has been prosperous for many years. You can go out to the East China Sea three times. You don't know how lucky you were to cultivate it in your life.
In Li Xiuyuan's view, even the current King of Qin is not as happy as Xu Fu in the future.
On an island where there are no assassinations, no plots by ministers, and no wars, even if you close your eyes, you will be more carefree than the current King of Qin.
