The first thousand four hundred and twenty-four chapters

In the following time, Chen Luo and Lu Huaming returned to Chang'an, and walked and stopped, ate and drank, which made Chen Luo live a comfortable life.

However, when he was approaching Chang'an, Lu Huaming suddenly received a secret order from the government to ask him to deal with other matters. This ended the wonderful time when the two of them traveled together, leaving Shen Luo alone to rush on his way.

More than a hundred miles outside Chang'an City, near the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, there are thousands of peach forests.

As soon as the spring comes March, peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains, and the thousands of acres of peach forests are covered with pink, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, attracting countless phoenixes and butterflies.

In Chang'an City, whether it is a noble or a commoner, they will bring their families here for a spring outing, enjoy the magnificent scenery, and buy a few pots of peach blossom wine made from petals for the past year.

This has almost become a routine for Chang'an City to welcome the spring.

Therefore, outside this thousand hectares of peach forest, a small town with winemaking as its main business has gradually formed.

It is naturally not late spring, but midsummer is over and the beginning of autumn is approaching. Not only are there no tourists coming to visit in Taolin Town, but even many businesses that do restaurants and inns closed down because they have no business.

At this moment, he came to Taolin Town alone.

Of course, he did not want to appreciate the flowers, but was entrusted by Lu Huaming to find a restaurant called "Taohuawu" in the town.

The owner of this restaurant is a bit different from other families. He not only uses peach blossoms to make wine, but also uses peach fruit to make a fruit wine. It has a sour taste and a sweet smell, and is the only serving in Taolin Town.

However, the brewing cycle of this peach and meat wine is not as mellow as other wines, so it can be stored for a short time, so it can only be bought during the season. Once the time passes, I can only wait for the next year to buy it.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Luo agreed to help Lu Huaming to buy two jars of fruit wine as the end of this season.

Business in the town is deserted, and most shops are either completely closed or closed the door. Chen Luo walked from one end of the town to the other end according to Lu Huaming's description, and then he saw the "Taohuawu" wine tricks around a corner.

This is a small shop specializing in selling wine. It does not have tables, chairs, benches and entertainment. It only has one portal. You can buy wine and go with it. The price is fair. One or two pot of peach blossom wine, one or two pot of 10 taels, one or two jar of peach fruit wine, one or two pot of 15 taels, one or two jar of 15 taels.

However, on the sign hanging out, two big words "sold out."

Chen Luo looked at the two words and sighed in his heart, knowing that he was going to have a waste of time.

But I have to go up and ask a question before I can give up.

Before he could get close, he heard a crisp woman's voice coming from the shop:

"How come you are so scoundrel? You have told you more than ten times. These two jars of wine are left for regular customers and cannot be sold to you, so why don't you listen?"

"Little girl, you keep him two jars of regular customers, and only thirty taels in total. I will sell you ten taels of silver. Is it a pot of this?" Outside the stall of the store, a graceful man wrapped in a snow-white fox fur on his body begged unwilling to give up.

There is a jade pendant hanging around his waist, with a faint spiritual energy on it. You can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary thing.

Chen Luo walked forward and came to the fox fur man. He saw a pretty little girl standing inside the stall. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she had a braid, dressed neatly, and had a gray cloth apron around her waist. She looked very smart and capable.

"Shop, can there be peach fruit wine for sale?" Chen Luo asked.

The little girl rolled her eyes when she heard this.

Seeing this, Chen Luo realized that the word "sold out" had been posted outside the store, and he asked this with a clue.

"That... can you sell me one pot, just one pot?" Chen Luo said embarrassedly.

"One more is here, don't sell it or not. The remaining two jars of wine are reserved for regular customers. If you say you don't sell it, you will definitely not sell it." The girl waved her hand impatiently, and pretended to install the baffle at the stall and completely closed.

"Oh, don't..." Seeing this, the fox fur man quickly reached out to block it, but the girl glared back with a look.

The man in the fox fur stops in awkward manner.

Chen Luo turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He remembered something and asked quickly: "Shopkeeper, the regular customers who you two jars of wine left for are not someone named Lu Huaming, right?"

"Huh, how do you know?" The girl stopped and said in surprise.

When Chen Luo heard this, he felt very calm.

Lu Huaming had said before that he had to buy two jars of wine here every year, and it had been seven or eight years since then. He said that he was a regular customer among regular customers.

But he didn't mention the problem that it was difficult to buy wine before, and Chen Luo guessed that the regular customer that the little girl mentioned was Lu Huaming.

"Hey, he can't come this year. I'm afraid that he will delay the drinking period, so I asked me to come and buy wine for him." Chen Luo said quickly.

"Oh, how do you prove it?" The girl looked up and down, and said suspiciously.

"This... he really didn't give any certificate." Chen Luo scratched his head, and suddenly felt a little difficult to deal with.

"Then why do I believe you? Didn't I just come and spoil me after hearing the name?" the girl frowned and raised her waist and said.

After thinking about it, Chen Luo immediately came up with a plan.

As he raised his hand, water vapor evaporated in his palm. A water screen barrier was spread in front of the girl, and the light was floating on it, and Lu Huaming's image appeared vividly on it.

"Please look, girl, if I don't know Lu Huaming, I will definitely not be able to do this, right?" Chen Luo asked.

The girl glanced at the water curtain scroll and her eyes lit up, both because she found out that the man was indeed Lu Huaming, and was also amazed at Chen Luo's magic.

"It seems that you really know Brother Lu, so you can help him get the wine, but he hasn't paid for the wine yet." The girl nodded and said.

"It's okay, I'll pay, I'll pay." Chen Luo shouted quickly.

The girl collected the silver, turned around and went to the shelf behind, moved the last two jars of peach fruit wine, placed it on the counter at the stall, and pushed it to Shen Luo.

When Chen Luo was about to receive the drink, two big hands suddenly came over beside him and clasped his fists at Chen Luo.

"Fellow Taoist, can this peach fruit wine be allowed to the next jar?" the graceful man in fox fur smiled and asked.

"I can't let you buy it for you." Chen Luo returned the gift and did not want to get too entangled.

"No, just one jar, one pot, one pot." The man in the fox fur immediately changed his words when he saw this and stretched out a finger without hesitation.

Chen Luo turned his head and looked at it. Seeing his handsome facial features full of expectations, his amber eyes flashed with anticipation, and his Adam's apple couldn't help swallowing up and down with his saliva.
