Chapter 294 Wei Yichen wins again.
"I helped an old man before, and he gave it to me." Wei Ruo replied.
"Old man? Could it be that the person you helped was the maker of this thyme?" Lu Yuhong guessed.
Regarding the origin of thyme, there are many theories circulating in the city. One theory is that an old man living in seclusion in the mountains made the wine. Each jar contains fine wine that has been collected for many years.
But because the old man only brewed two jars a day to save, now he can only sell two jars a day.
"Then I don't know. When I got this wine, thyme hadn't been sold in the city yet." Wei Ruo replied.
The rumor was spread by Wei Ruo in order to increase the mystery of thyme, which would not only arouse the curiosity of people who have never tasted this wine, but also make people more willing to spend such a high price for it.
Therefore, when answering Lu Yuhong's question, Wei Ruo also intentionally guided in this direction, which not only supported the rumors to a certain extent, but also did not destroy the mystery of Thyme.
"Then do you know where the old man is?" Lu Yuhong asked.
"I don't know. I haven't seen that old man since then, and I don't know where he lives." Wei Ruo replied.
Hearing this, Lu Yuhong was a little disappointed.
But after being disappointed, I felt that I should seize the opportunity to make a few jars and send them to the old man in the capital.
What if the old man is old and stops selling wine after a while? Will his old man never have the chance to drink this wine again?
So Lu Yuhong continued to ask Wei Ruo: "This wine is very expensive now. Are you sure you want to give it to me?"
Lu Yuhong couldn't believe it and confirmed with Wei Ruo again.
"Of course. Since I have said it, I am definitely not joking with Mr. Lu." Wei Ruodao.
Lu Yuhong was pleasantly surprised, but at the same time he had some doubts: "Why did Miss Wei give me such a big gift?"
Although Lu Yuhong was a little drunk, he was not stupid yet. No one would be kind to him inexplicably. Those who are courteous for nothing are mostly asking for something. of.
"I have nothing to ask for. I just asked Mr. Lu to help me bring a message to Mr. Xu. If Mr. Lu is willing, he can also help me to persuade Mr. Xu." Wei Ruo replied.
Lu Yuhong didn't believe it: "Are you really asking for nothing?"
"You are really asking for nothing, Mr. Lu, don't worry, I'm not a very good wine taster, this wine is a waste here." Wei Ruodao.
Lu Yuhong couldn't see Wei Ruo's expression, but hearing the voice, he felt that the other party was sincere.
And if she really wants something, she should say it now. If she doesn't say it now, she won't be able to ask for it later.
But in this way, Lu Yuhong felt that Wei Ruo was even more strange. A good son-in-law like Xu Fengyuan didn't want it, but he gave him precious thyme without asking for it.
"If you really want to give it to me, then I won't be polite to you. But don't go back on your word and ask me for the wine again. I won't have any wine to pay you back at that time." Lu Yuhong said to Wei Ruo.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. There is no reason to go back on your words when you give something to someone. There is only one condition. I hope Mr. Lu will not tell others about this." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
Lu Yuhong also understood the latter two conditions. If a girl from the boudoir gave him a gift, it would cause gossip, so he couldn't talk about it casually.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to Miss Wei. Just think that I owe Miss Wei a favor. Next time Miss Wei is in need, within my ability, just come to me." When the two of them were talking, Si
Bao Zhai's competition has begun. Because the competition was about pairs, the scene was very lively, and cheers would erupt from time to time.
Hearing the voices of Xu Fengyuan and Wei Yichen, Lu Yuhong's attention was not attracted to them.
The competition was coming to an end, and not many people could speak out anymore. In the end, it became a duel between Xu Fengyuan and Wei Yichen.
It can be seen that Xu and Wei are outstanding in talent and learning, whether in Anzhou Academy or in the entire Taizhou Prefecture.
The duel between the two lasted for just one cup of tea. Lu Yuhong had finished drinking the second pot of thyme, and had eaten most of the fresh food and braised food. The two were still unable to decide the winner.
And the applause from the crowd came one after another.
Although Wei Ruo couldn't see the lively scene outside, he could still tell the grand occasion of the competition from people's reactions.
There is no doubt about Wei Yichen's talent and learning. In the original work, by the time the original owner Wei Ruo died, he had already won the imperial examination. He was the only hope left for the Wei family after the death of Wei Mingting.
So even when he arrived in Taizhou Prefecture, Wei Ruo knew that Wei Yichen had the ability to stand out among the students.
After a while, the competition ended and Wei Yichen won.
Xu Fengyuan generously sent his blessings to Wei Yichen: "I still can't compare to Brother Wei. Brother Wei is really knowledgeable. This year's autumn examination will definitely be the time for Brother Wei to shine." "Brother Xu is too polite. It's Brother Xu who is humble
. , otherwise I would not have such an opportunity." Wei Yichen replied.
The shopkeeper of Sibao Zhai Fucheng Store delivered calligraphy, paintings and a box of white paper to Wei Yichen.
"Mr. Wei, here are the prizes - the calligraphy of the Zanglin layman and the paper sold exclusively by our Sibaozhai. In the next year, we will send a box of paper to the house every month. Mr. Wei will just leave us an address later. ."
"Thank you." Wei Yichen said, then turned around and handed the calligraphy and painting to Xu Fengyuan, "Brother Xu, I will give this calligraphy and painting to you." "A gentleman does not take away what others like, and Brother Wei has always liked Tibetan laymen
. , How can I accept this calligraphy and painting?" Xu Fengyuan refused.
"I already have a piece of his calligraphy, and I will give this one to Brother Xu. Please don't be polite to me," Wei Yichen insisted.
Seeing this, Xu Fengyuan couldn't shirk anymore.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to Brother Wei anymore." Xu Fengyuan accepted Wei Yichen's gift generously.
The competition was over, and everyone's interest shifted from the competition to the store.
Now that everyone is here, everyone did not forget to buy some things in Sibaozhai. Except for paper, which is always sold in limited quantities, other things are enough, although the pens, inks, and inkstones in Sibaozhai are no different from those elsewhere.
Wei Yichen and Xu Fengyuan did not go into the store to shop like others, but found Lu Yuhong who was taking a break in Xu Ji Braised Meat Shop.
At this time, Wei Ruo had already left the braised food shop through the back door, leaving only Chen Aqing and Lu Yuhong who were looking after the store.
Seeing the wine pot and braised dishes placed in front of Lu Yuhong, Xu Fengyuan couldn't help but said with a smile: "Brother Lu, you are too sentimental." He actually moved a matza and sat in the braised food shop to eat with good wine and vegetables
. When he looks up, although he looks a little less impressive, he still looks free and uninhibited.
Lu Yuhong said with a smile: "You don't know that although I can't compare to the elegant rooms of a restaurant, the food and wine are the delicacies of the world. You can never ask for an enjoyment." (End of Chapter
