From wilderness to palace

Chapter 175 How is this kid?
Seeing the dishes being brought to the table one after another, the Xiao family siblings who had just arrived in Guashantun, as well as the accompanying bodyguards, felt that the dishes were quite generous.In terms of the ingredients of these dishes, they are not too precious.

But in Liu Yaozu's opinion, considering the family background of Xiao Fen and others, they must have eaten a lot of delicacies.Although he could get some rare and valuable ingredients by thinking of ways, he still didn't think it was necessary.

Now that you come to the countryside, what's the problem with eating some farm food and real home-cooked meals?

Big goose stewed in an iron pot, pork stewed vermicelli, spicy fried smoked wild pork, garlic fried smoked rabbit meat, and a few fresh vegetables, a table of meat and vegetable dishes, in Liu Yaozu's view, they are also full of sincerity, if they don't Satisfied, then he has nothing to say.

Considering that there were too many bodyguards accompanying him, Liu Yaozu specifically asked Sun Lijun to prepare two dining tables. As the host, he accompanied the Xiao siblings.Sun Lijun and Zhou Shanhe were responsible for entertaining the accompanying bodyguards, so they must have something in common.

After the table was settled, Liu Yaozu also smiled and said: "Uncle Xiao, do you want some wine? I really have a good wine here. You can drink some later. If the two Aunt Xiao can also drink it, then why not Drink a little, I don't have much of this wine in stock."

Before Xiao Cheng could answer, Xiao Fen's eyes lit up and said, "Is it the kind of wine you gave Xiao Xuan last time?"

"Well! Aunt Xiao drank it? How do you feel?"

"It's very good! Although I don't know much about wine, I really feel warm after drinking that wine. Xiaoxuan's grandfather and father like it the most. Just such a jar of wine, let her grandfather put it away now, and even her father doesn't like it. Let's drink it!"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng's eyes brightened instantly and he said, "Oh, the wine that even Mr. Xiao loves so much, isn't it common?"

Facing Xiao Cheng's inquiry, Liu Yaozu smiled and shook his head: "This wine must have been a very common wine in the early years. But now, the raw materials for this kind of wine are scarce, and there are not many people who even know how to prepare it, so it is It seems very precious.

Beast bone wine is a kind of medicinal wine made by mixing some beast bones with pure grain wine, some precious Chinese medicinal materials, and finally sealed cellar.I also went back to my hometown, and I was lucky enough to meet a few mountain runners, and I finally bought it from them. "

"Ah! It turned out to be animal bone wine, so I really want to taste it tonight."

"Uncle Xiao wants to drink freely, but I'm afraid he really can't. This kind of wine is very powerful. If you drink it for the first time, you can't drink more than two taels at most. For the two Aunt Xiao, you can drink no more than one tael a day. Although medicinal wine is good, it is easy to drink. Make it up."

After Liu Yaozu finished speaking, he walked out of his storage room and brought out the wine jar that was opened last time.He found some wine glasses and poured a full one for Xiao Cheng.This kind of wine glass, each glass can only be multiplied by two liang of wine at most.

On the other hand, the sisters of the Xiao family poured half a glass each.When looking at Qin Zixuan, Liu Yaozu also asked with a smile: "Zixuan, do you want some? In this weather, drinking some of this medicinal wine can also play a role in driving the cold and promoting blood circulation."

"Really? If you drink it, will you be drunk?"

"Probably not! Don't you usually drink?"

"Drink! But I drink very lightly, and I can only drink two glasses of red wine at most."

"That shouldn't be a problem! I'll pour you a little less, and you can try it. Aunt Xiao, let your accompanying bodyguards also drink some of these wines. Although the effect of drinking it once is not great, it will eventually replenish your body's vitality."

"Okay! Listen to you, just let you spend money!"

"Then! Although this wine is rare, isn't it made for people to drink? If the quantity is not too rare, I really plan to give you an extra bottle. Brother Li drank it before. I took out an altar in my hand!"

Listening to what Liu Yaozu said, Xiao Cheng was also a little curious.Seeing the younger brother's eyes, Xiao Fen also smiled and said: "The Li brother Azu mentioned is Xiao Li from Xingye Company. The Jianyue Technology founded by Azu earlier happened to cooperate with Xingye."

"Li Xingcheng? That guy is indeed a talent, but he's a bit cynical."

Hearing this comment from Xiao Cheng, Liu Yaozu also smiled and remained silent.But from these words, it can be heard that Li Xingcheng must respect Xiao Cheng's words when he sees them.Although there may not be much difference in age between the two.

But Xiao Cheng holds a high position, while Li Xingcheng is only the head of a state-owned fund company.What Liu Yaozu didn't even know was that a state-owned company like Xingye was a subsidiary under Xiao Cheng's management.To put it bluntly, Xiao Cheng is Li Xingcheng's immediate boss!
The other accompanying bodyguards seemed somewhat surprised to see Liu Yaozu coming over to pour wine.As bodyguards, they are not allowed to drink alcohol during missions.But Xiao Fen said directly: "Xiao Wu, just drink a little, don't overdose, we won't go out tonight!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

When Xiao Fen spoke, Wu Lin, who was the temporary captain, didn't say anything more.But Sun Lijun smiled and said: "Boss, it looks like you're bleeding again tonight. Xiao Zhou and I have been hungry for this wine for a long time!"

"Okay! Are you saying this to make others feel that I have treated you badly? You are not clear about the effect of this wine. Besides, one jar is less than one jar. With the little wine I have left, I still want to drink it." Drink it slowly by yourself!"

If you were another personal bodyguard, if you dared to talk to your employer like this, you would be fired in minutes.But for Sun Lijun, he knew that Liu Yaozu had no airs.Sometimes, the more casual you talk, the more comfortable you are with each other.

After pouring the wine, Liu Yaozu carefully sealed the wine jar again, and even sent the wine jar back to the storage room in front of everyone.When he came out again, he carried two bottles of good-grade domestic red wine.

Taking into account the accompanying bodyguards, it was indeed inappropriate to drink too much at this time, and he did not prepare anything for the bodyguards.These two bottles of red wine were also prepared for him and the Xiao siblings.After sitting down again, he also began to invite everyone to drink and eat.

Qin Zixuan, who tasted this medicinal wine for the first time, just took a sip before frowning: "Wow, this wine is so spicy!"

Seeing her daughter like this, Xiao Fen also rarely smiled and said: "This is medicinal wine brewed with pure grain wine, and the alcohol content is relatively high. If you usually drink less alcohol, it is normal for you to find baijiu unpleasant. But this wine , it’s okay to have a drink.”

"Hmm! This wine is very spicy in the mouth, but it feels warm in the stomach."

Xiao Cheng, who was an uncle, also smiled when he heard this: "It seems that our Xiaoxuan has also begun to know how to taste wine!"

This sentence made Qin Zixuan blush a little, but Liu Yaozu just smiled politely.Anyone who drinks baijiu for the first time will find it spicy.But in fact, this medicinal wine has been stored in the cellar for several years, and the spiciness has been reduced a lot.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Cheng also told Liu Yaozu about the chat with his teacher earlier.After listening, Liu Yaozu was also very surprised and said: "Uncle Xiao, were my grandfather and your teacher a classmate in the early years, or sworn brothers?"

"Yes! If it wasn't for that group photo, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known. Your grandfather would be my mentor, who I have been looking for for many years. And when my mentor heard about this, he originally planned to come over overnight, but I persuaded him later.

But as things stand, I'm afraid he will set off early tomorrow morning.And he has confessed before, after we finish eating, I hope you can make a video call with him.He should know more about your grandfather. "

After listening to Xiao Cheng's words, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said: "Yes! Although I have already guessed before, my grandfather must have received higher education in his early years. But I didn't expect that he would be a student of the Royal Academy in his early years."

Although nowadays, the academy named after the royal family has changed.But before that turmoil, the academies or units under the jurisdiction of the royal family were all very famous existences.It is the honor of every student to be admitted to the Royal Academy.

During the feudal dynasty, students from the Royal Academy were also called disciples of the Emperor!

But as far as Liu Yaozu knew, the former Royal Academy had been completely reduced to ruins during that turmoil.As in the case of the Royal Theater, they were all turned into a sea of ​​​​flames in that turmoil, and eventually became the ruins of history.

Later, the National Academy, which was rebuilt from the Royal Academy, is also one of the well-known institutions in the country, but compared with the status of the Royal Academy in the country in the early years, it is naturally still insufficient.But nowadays, there might not be many Royal Academy students alive.

Knowing that his grandfather still had a good friend alive, Liu Yaozu naturally wanted to know what happened back then that caused his grandfather to leave the imperial capital and take his grandmother to live in seclusion in the mountain village, and the two never went to the imperial capital again.

Looking back now, when he was admitted to the Imperial Capital University of Science and Technology in the early years, although his grandfather and grandmother were very happy, they never revealed that they had stayed in the Imperial Capital for many years.Later, when he invited the two elders to visit the imperial capital, the two elders expressed that they did not want to move.

But in fact, perhaps just like Liu Yaozu's choice to leave the imperial capital at the beginning, in the hearts of the two elders, this city that others long to stay in is a permanent pain in their hearts.Even after many years, they still don't want to take half a step.

After dinner, Liu Yaozu began to arrange rooms for Xiao Fen and others, and Sun Lijun's two assistants were responsible for washing the dishes and clearing the table.Even if Qin Zixuan wanted to help, she was still rejected by Liu Yaozu.

He said directly: "Zixuan, you should help your mother and aunt to tidy up the guest room where they rest at night. I will have a video call with your uncle and his mentor later. I will leave it to Brother Sun and the others to clean up the dishes. Just do it."

Seeing that Liu Yaozu didn't let him clean up the dishes, Qin Zixuan didn't insist.What she didn't expect was that when she was cleaning the room for her mother and aunt, Xiao Fei suddenly said, "Xiaoxuan, Azu is one year older than you, right?"

"Yes, auntie, what's the matter?"

"Sister, what do you think of this child, Azu?"

Xiao Fen, who was suddenly asked, was stunned for a moment, looked at her sister and daughter, and then smiled and said: "Although the contact time is very short, the child Azu is really good. It's just that there are some things that depend on the fate between the children. "

As soon as these words came out, Qin Zixuan suddenly realized the meaning of what my aunt said.As far as she is concerned, although she has a somewhat favorable impression of Liu Yaozu.But it doesn't mean that she has made up her mind now to have a loyal and unrepentant love with this enigmatic boy!
