Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 17 This Is My Word
Smelling the strong aroma of wine, Zhang Fei's eyes almost popped out. He stretched out his other hand and carefully held the wine bowl with both hands.

Liu He filled it up for him and said with a smile: "Master of the village, please!"

Zhang Fei twitched his mouth and sniffed it first, then opened his mouth wide, his eyes lit up, and the stubble on his entire face was shaking excitedly.

In the scene of Liu and him being cautious, one word can't help but come to mind: If you have a tiger in your heart, you can sniff the rose carefully.

But the next moment, Zhang Fei took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl, and in the blink of an eye, he drank a large bowl of strong wine.

"Haha——" Zhang Fei raised his head, and the wine slipped from his beard, down his neck to his chest, and then he laughed and said: "It's cool——"

"It turns out that there is such a fine wine in the world..."

Zhang Fei touched his chest up and down with his palms. From his throat to his stomach, his whole chest was extremely hot, and he was still savoring the taste just now.

"How is it?" Guan Yu couldn't help stroking his beard and asked. He had only had a few drinks, but Zhang Fei drank so much that it felt like it was a waste.

"Exciting, hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed loudly, holding the wine bowl to Liu He again, "Come again!"

Liu He smiled faintly, grabbed the wine jar and poured it again. The wine was as clear as a mountain spring, which made people feel comfortable just looking at it.

Zhang Fei stared at it intently, and when he was almost at the mouth of the bowl, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, enough is enough, don't waste it!"

He held the bowl carefully, for fear of spilling a drop. He put it to his mouth and took a few sips. Then he started drinking heavily, finishing the rest of the wine in one breath.

"Hiccup——" After a long wine burp, Zhang Fei's dark face was already brightening, his eyes were getting red, and his eyes were a little blurry. He grabbed the wine bowl and waved it in the air, and laughed: "Happy—— "

"Ouch..."

After laughing a few times, he suddenly threw the bowl on the ground and lay on the stone table crying.

Zhang Fei's voice was already strong, but when he lay down and cried, it was like a wolf howling, which sounded a little funny.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Liu He was startled and quickly patted his shoulder and asked.

"I hate it!" Zhang Fei punched the table with his fist, "I wasted more than twenty years, and I only drank this fine wine today. My previous days were all in vain, my life was in vain - Wow woo woo..."

Liu He was taken aback, and looked at Guan Yu. Both of them were dumbfounded, and Zhao Yun stared in confusion.

I didn't expect that there would be people in the world who would cry because they tasted delicious food!
None of the grown men knew how to comfort people, so they had to sit awkwardly aside and watch, waiting for him to calm down a little before talking.

Liu He secretly laughed in his heart, it would be strange if a drunkard met a strong drinker!

Confucius heard Shaole March and didn't know the taste of meat!
Zhang Fei was so excited when he met his true love, and stimulated by alcohol, that he revealed his true feelings, which shows that he is a sincere person.

People in this era drink fermented wine, the alcohol content is actually very low, but Liu He just made a simple upgrade, using distillation to purify, which is actually a way to extract alcohol.

The boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water. If the equipment is excellent, the alcohol content obtained by this distillation method is generally between 70 and 85 degrees. This original wine cannot be drunk directly.

But the equipment he put together was too rough, and water and other substances would be mixed in the alcohol, only to form a poor-quality liquor, which was only about [-] degrees. If it was to be purer, multiple distillations were needed.

It’s just that the current distillation method is too crude. Only half of ten jars of wine are distilled out, and the wine yield is too low.

However, for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, this has been improved by an unknown number of levels. You must know that just the improvement of this brewing method will take hundreds of years. Liu He directly used it, which was a cross-era skill.

No matter how good Zhang Fei is in drinking, he is just a drunkard in this era. How can he stand it when he suddenly drinks purified liquor and drinks too hard?
After all, it was not a sad thing. Zhang Fei cried a few times and then stopped. When he raised his head, his face was full of tears, and his eyes were red.

After all this torment and excitement, he was already seven or eight points drunk. He wiped his tears with his sleeves and sat up holding on to the table, his body swaying.

Liu He took the opportunity and said: "I sincerely ask the owner of the village to help me get rid of the eunuchs and protect the homeless people. I hope the owner of the village does not retreat."

The main reason is that the news of the Yellow Turban Uprising has not yet spread, and the world is not in chaos. It is not easy to speak outly and impassionedly about revitalizing the Han Dynasty and achieving a great cause. Without a recruitment order from the imperial court, saying this is treason.

"Young Master... you have such good intentions, how can I, Zhang Fei, not know about it?" Zhang Fei shook his body, his tongue was already a little stiff, and he looked straight at Liu He.

Suddenly he pointed at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun and said: "Guan, brother Guan is very skilled in martial arts, and brother Zhao Yun also... also has good abilities. They - aren't they enough?"

Liu He shook his head and said: "Now the evil party is bullying the emperor, chaos is everywhere, and the barbarians are coveting the Central Plains and are ready to take action. How can we rectify this injustice in the world with only the strength of the three of us?"

"Thank you...Your Excellency thinks highly of you!" Zhang Fei swayed his body and clasped his fists, hesitating to speak, looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and suddenly lowered his head on the table and sighed.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Why does a man sigh if he doesn't contribute to the country?"

Does this word sound familiar?
Liu He's heart moved. Isn't this what Zhang Fei said when Liu Bei sighed when the imperial court announced the recruitment list?

Sure enough, Zhang Fei suddenly raised his head and stared at Guan Yu with drunken eyes, as if to say: This is my word!

He shook his head silently, pointed to the wine jar and said, "Okay... good wine, another... bowl!"

Liu He frowned slightly. He didn't know why Zhang Fei was interested, but he always refused. He couldn't help but said: "I heard that the owner of the villa likes to make friends with the world's heroes, so he must have great ambitions. Therefore, why do you have to refuse repeatedly? Not qualified enough?"

Guan Yu originally had sympathy for Zhang Fei, but when he saw him now, he didn't know what was good or bad. He couldn't help but sneer and said: "I think Master Zhang can't let go of such a big business."

Liu He's heart sank, and finally he was a little discouraged. Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory. In fact, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are enough. There will be opportunities to recruit other famous generals in the future, but he is too confident and too greedy!
He comforted himself, took another bowl, and poured wine for Zhang Fei silently.

There was not much wine left in the jar, it was no longer full of a bowl.

Liu He secretly sighed that the half bowl of wine was just like his unsatisfactory plan.

The last few drops of wine fell into the bowl. Zhang Fei suddenly shook his body and sighed heavily: "I, Zhang Fei...am I going to break my promise today?"

Liu He said with a smile: "What I said before was just a joke. I am satisfied to get to know the owner of the village, so I don't need to take it seriously!"

"Young Master Liu -" Zhang Fei was startled, stood up with the help of the table, went to the side and knelt on the ground and said, "Zhang Fei... I'm really ashamed of myself for letting you down! It's just that my teacher's life is in trouble!"

Hope was rekindled in Liu He's heart when he heard the words, he quickly helped Zhang Fei up, and said, "The most important thing in a man's friendship is his confidant. Since the owner of the villa has something hard to say, don't force it."
