Qi Zhixi sent away his elder brother who was worried about him, and started working after returning to the tavern. Liu Shichu didn't pay much attention to him, but just remembered his previous decision to pick up more calligraphy and painting from Qi Zhixi's hands. .
So after the tavern closed, Qi Zhixi was stopped by the smiling Liu Shichu:
"Zhixi, I remember that your calligraphy and painting are very good. My village on the outskirts of Beijing has been built and needs some calligraphy and painting for decoration. Can you help me write some calligraphy and draw some pictures? Of course, I will buy it with money. Yes, I don’t want to take advantage of you in vain. By the way, how much did you sell calligraphy and painting for before? I’ll pay three times for your calligraphy and painting.”
Liu Shichu smiled sincerely on his face, but he was snickering in his heart. Didn't Qi Zhixi say that he made a living selling calligraphy and painting on the street? Since it is sold on the street, it must not be at a high price, otherwise no one can afford it. Qi Zhixi has to cover his vest, and of course he cannot quote the price of the calligraphy and painting he made when he was Mr. Xizhou, so even if Liu When Shichu said she would buy his calligraphy and paintings at three times the price, she took advantage.
After hearing what she said, Qi Zhixi's face froze for a moment before he replied: "It doesn't have to be three times as much. You can just pay according to the market price. But I still have to work, so I may not have that much time to devote to writing and painting." , if you are in a hurry, why not find someone else?"
"No, I just like your calligraphy and painting, not anyone else's." Liu Shichu shook his head decisively and said, "Don't worry, just take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
"Okay, I'll try my best." Qi Zhixi had no choice but to agree. Speaking of which, he had been busy working as a bartender recently. It was true that he hadn't practiced calligraphy or painting for a long time. He couldn't let it go, so he was not interested in the business that Liu Shichu came to his door. Gladly accepted.
"Your calligraphy and painting may increase in value. I have to frame and preserve them properly." Liu Shichu looked at Qi Zhixi meaningfully and said.
Hearing this, Qi Zhixi touched his nose uncomfortably. It seemed that he was indeed quite valuable?
Liu Shichu gave Qi Zhixi a hard knock, feeling extremely happy, with a smile on his face and eyes, and stars seemed to be blooming in his bright eyes. Qi Zhixi accidentally looked in, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.
However, he didn't think much about it. He just thought that he was accidentally fascinated by his boss's beauty. Just like ordinary men who see a beautiful woman, they can't help but want to look at it more. But that's human nature and it's understandable. It turns out that even a reserved woman would shyly peek at a handsome man when she sees him? Therefore, Qi Zhixi immediately normalized the abnormality in his heart.
Liu Shichu didn't know Qi Zhixi's thoughts. Seeing that Qi Zhixi happily agreed to her request, she took out a jar of precious Yongxian wine she brewed herself from the wine cabinet, handed it to him, and said: "This jar of Yongxian Wine is given to you. After all, money is a bit vulgar for your calligraphy and painting, but it goes well with wine. And I see that you like wine very much, so I will give you a jar."
Qi Zhixi immediately took the wine in surprise and said, "Thank you, boss! With your jar of wine, I don't need to give me any money."
"No, you still have to give money, and the wine is just a thank you gift." Liu Shichu said, although this Yongxian wine is precious, it is only relative to the drinker, not to her. After all, she Just brew more if you want.
Seeing that Qi Zhixi couldn't refuse, he happily accepted it. Although he was exposed to various kinds of wine in this tavern every day, and he could taste a few glasses of some precious wines, it was impossible for him to have a good drink. So now Liu Shichu generously gave him a jar of Yongxian Wine. He didn't know how happy he was. Before, he could only watch helplessly, but now he has a whole jar of wine to drink by himself. .
Yongxian Wine, as the name suggests, will naturally make you feel as if you are in a fairyland after drinking it. Of course, this is a dream, a fairyland in a dream. When you are drunk, your dreams will come true, which makes people reluctant to wake up.
Qi Zhixi has been coveting this kind of wine for a long time. He wanted to buy a jar with his salary before, but couldn't afford it. Of course, if he wasn't afraid of being exposed, he could afford it. But he was afraid, so he could only covet it and couldn't. I bought it to satisfy my craving, but now Liu Shichu gave it to him as a gift. How could he be unhappy?
Maybe Liu Shichu can understand his current excitement, because Qi Zhixi's calligraphy and painting are equivalent to Liu Shichu's Immortal Wine. They don't think it is very rare in their respective hearts, but in the other's heart, it is I feel it is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Both parties were able to get what they wanted in every possible way, and they were immediately happy. Liu Shichu and Qi Zhixi were both happy and felt it was worth it.
Qi Zhixi happily brought Yongxian Wine back to his eldest brother's residence in the capital, and said to his eldest brother happily: "Brother, today I will let you try this Yongxian Wine. It is very precious. My boss took great pains to give it to me." If you were not my eldest brother, I would be reluctant to give you a drink."
Brother Qi saw this bad brother and said angrily: "How come I haven't heard of Yongxianjiu? I think if you continue to work in that tavern, you will soon become an alcoholic!"
Regardless of his elder brother's sarcasm, Qi Zhixi opened the mud seal with a smile, opened the lid, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the aroma of the wine, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "It is indeed Yongxian Wine, the aroma of the wine is... Different and extra tempting.”
After being intoxicated with the aroma of the wine for a while, he served two glasses of wine. He couldn't wait to drink the crystal clear wine and squinted his eyes to taste it carefully.
Brother Qi saw that he drank a glass of wine like a cat that had taken catnip, and looked like he was about to ascend to heaven. A blush slowly appeared on his handsome face, and he couldn't help but curiously said: "What kind of immortal wine is this? It's really Is it that delicious?"
After saying that, he picked up the glass in front of him and drank it. As soon as he took the strong and mellow wine into his mouth, a pleasant and stimulating feeling rushed straight to his forehead, and then there was a dense and wonderful refreshing feeling...
Even though Brother Qi is not a good wine person, he has to admit that this Yongxian Wine is indeed a unique wine, with a completely different texture and taste from ordinary wine.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Qi Zhixi saw the surprise on his elder brother's face and asked proudly.
"It's not bad. Did Mrs. Liu brew it herself?" Brother Qi asked.
"Of course, our boss can make any kind of wine, and she can also make it even if others don't. Isn't this cocktail her own creation? It can be regarded as opening up the scope of alcoholic beverages." Qi Zhixi said even more proudly.
"She is a strange woman." Brother Qi said with emotion, "After the divorce, she can still start a career on her own, instead of hiding at home complaining about others and feeling sorry for herself."
Qi Zhixi looked proud: "Of course, our boss is not an ordinary woman!"
Brother Qi looked at him and kept saying "our boss", which made his head hurt even more.
