Chapter 64: A drunken surprise (Part 2)

The old man was also a good-natured person. After he arrived, even though he had snow-white hair and a long beard and was over 70 years old, he heard Liu Bei say that the army was in urgent need of waiting for a doctor to come. He did not ask for a rest or was pretentious, but directly told Liu Bei.

, and asked Liu Bei to call in the patients. The disease waits for no one.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, Guan Yu understood what Liu Bei meant.

Guan Yu nodded and went out of the tent.

Besides, Zhang Fei, who was sitting a few short feet away, was very addicted to alcohol and was extremely sensitive to the aroma of wine. Zhang Fei's nose twitched twice and he smelled the unusually strong aroma of wine. Suddenly, Zhang Fei's eyes opened.

Staring, he turned his head sharply and stared at the wine bowl on the table.

There was wine in the bowl. Zhang Fei, who rode all the way back, thought it was Liu Bei's drink to quench his thirst.

Zhang Fei stretched out his big hand, picked up the wine bowl and started to take a swig.

"Hey, third brother, no!" Liu Bei hurriedly pressed the bowl in Zhang Fei's hand, "You cannot drink this wine!"

Zhang Fei was not able to drink and was very dissatisfied, "Why can't I drink this wine?"

Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, "It's a long story. This is steamed wine, made by Xi'er. The arrow has been soaked in the wine, and the wine has been contaminated. You can't drink it anymore."

As he spoke, Liu Bei pushed a wine jar in front of Zhang Fei and helped Zhang Fei dig out the yellow mud on the wine jar.

Zhang Fei took the wine jar and glanced at the wine bowl placed on the low table. The aroma of the wine in that bowl could be smelled from a long distance away.

This wine was really not drinkable, so Zhang Fei took another suspicious look.

Even if you can't drink it, you can't drink any other alcohol either.

Zhang Fei held the wine jar, brought it to his mouth, raised his head and took a swig.

The next second.

"puff!"

Zhang Fei spit out the wine.

"Brother! Are you so indifferent?!" Zhang Fei stared, his face full of surprise, and his voice was like thunder.

Zhang Fei was startled by this, and Liu Bei quickly reminded Mo Daodao that Xi'er was asleep.

Liu Bei remained calm, took the wine jar from Zhang Fei's hand, took a sip, and frowned as soon as he drank.

"Well, this wine is indeed bland and extremely sour. As Xi'er said, all the sourness in the wine is in the tail wine."

While talking about wine, the eldest brother talked about Xi'er again.

What does this have to do with Xiao Meng?

"Come on Yide, let's drink this wine first." Liu Bei picked up the wine bowl, poured the strong wine in the wine bowl back into the jar containing the strong wine, and Liu Bei poured the remaining steamed wine into the wine jar.

It was the tail wine that Li Mengxi said. He poured it into an empty bowl, poured two bowls, handed one bowl to Zhang Fei, and picked up a bowl himself.

At this point, we have to mention how Liu Bei understands the world.

Although he is his own brother and no better than outsiders, Liu Bei still always considers Zhang Fei's feelings.

Just now, Liu Bei forgot to steam the wine and gave the steamed wine to Zhang Fei to drink.

But Zhang Fei didn't know this. If Zhang Fei thought that he was deliberately giving him bad wine, even if he was a sworn brother, he would inevitably have a grudge.

Liu Bei knew that he had made a mistake, so he calmly wanted to share this jar of wine with Zhang Fei. He silently explained that the elder brother deliberately invited you to drink this sour wine that is like horse urine.

Without saying a word, the grudge was eliminated invisibly, and the loyalty of the three of them was maintained so that there would not be any estrangement due to trivial matters.

Zhang Fei frowned in reluctance, and drank a bowl in small sips with difficulty. He couldn't drink it anymore. Zhang Fei threw the bowl on the table and slapped the table, "Brother, why bother drinking this stuff? I'll go.

Get a jar of good wine!"

Zhang Fei was about to get up.

Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei, dumbfounded, "Yide, sit down, sit down!"

"The wine is gone." Liu Bei shook his head, "Xi'er said to steam the wine, so Yunchang and I gave him all the remaining wine. After four jars of good wine were steamed, we had to steam less than half a jar."

When Zhang Fei heard that Li Mengxi had spoiled all his good wine, Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly widened again.

Because of his eldest brother's reputation, he couldn't say bad things about Xiao Meng, so Zhang Fei muttered, "This kid is not good at playing. He is wasting my wine."

"Third brother, you are wrong!" Liu Bei smiled and consoled him, "Third brother, Xi'er has a way of brewing fine wine. Please let me teach you how to make it."

So, Liu Bei whispered to Zhang Fei the method of getting good wine that Li Mengxi told him.

During this period, descriptions such as being as clear as water, as strong as fire, as warm as charcoal, and reaching the line of throat were described. Even Zhang Fei had read many books, and he had never heard such a good description of wine.

Finally, Zhang Fei's saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Fei quickly sucked it away.

Seeing his elder brother looking at him, Zhang Fei's face turned red.

"When I return to Zhuozhou, I will ask Xi'er to steam him some jars of good wine!" Liu Beiyan said.

"That's great!" Zhang Fei chuckled, his eyes turning into crescents.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Meng can actually make wine, which is really amazing.

Zhang Fei was filled with admiration in his heart.

Li Mengxi's clever tricks did not impress Zhang Fei. A wine recipe was like holding Zhang Fei's seven inches, making Zhang Fei admire Li Mengxi instantly.

Zhang Fei then thought about some rare treasures such as ginseng and deer antlers soaked in wine, so Zhang Fei wondered where to buy some ginseng.

For wine, Zhang Fei was extremely motivated.

——

When the doctor's account was full, Guan Yu came with twenty or thirty patrol sergeants.

Liu Bei asked the doctors to treat the disease as a minor matter, so that the doctors would not feel that they were being looked down upon.

Liu Bei's level of human sophistication was far beyond Guan Zhang's.

It was late at night, and the Chinese medicine doctor in the tent took pulses of thirty or twenty soldiers one by one, and the diagnosis and treatment were completed.

All the soldiers were sound and healthy, and no one was seriously ill. But if someone invited me here, if they didn't see any illness, wouldn't they be living up to their trust?

The doctors had no choice but to take their pulses one by one. One had a weak spleen and stomach, another had strong liver fire, and another had a white tongue. They also explained in detail the methods of maintenance and rest.

——

The night passed, and when it was dawn, Li Mengxi woke up naturally from his sleep. He opened his eyes suddenly, and when he woke up, he saw no one in the tent.

It's morning and no one calls me, damn it.

It's okay to sleep in, but now in the army, if people are about to break camp, you have to wake yourself up. Once or twice is okay, but over time, Liu Bei will feel that you are lazy.

The pressure of survival made Li Mengxi cautious at every step.

Not long after Li Mengxi woke up, his younger brother also woke up.

The two got up, and naturally Li Mengxi took the opportunity to fold the quilt.

Anyway, nothing happened.

It happened that when Li Mengxi was folding the quilt, Guan Yu came in and asked Li Mengxi to get up.

Seeing Li Mengxi struggling to fold the quilt, Guan Yu laughed and said, "Xi'er, you are so good at folding the quilt, why don't you still cover it?"

"The general's words are wrong. If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the whole world?"

Li Mengxi said quietly.

Li Mengxi faked this, leaving Guan Yu stunned on the spot.

"If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?" Guan Yu brushed his long beard with his hand, his eyes slightly lowered, and he read slowly.

"Well, it does make sense." Guan Yu nodded.
