Waiting for the wind and rain, the city of clouds is light

In the afternoon, Yun Wei walked to the pavilion by the river with the cooked meat and a jug of wine, but Uncle Fan still agreed to bring the wine.As soon as Liu Ji saw it, she immediately stood up from the hall, and went straight to the jar of wine with bright eyes.Yun Wei stood silently outside the door, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the surprised eyes cast on her from inside.

"What are you doing standing there, girl?" Liu Ji realized that she hadn't followed, turned around and waved to her, "Come in and have a meeting!"

The guests who were chatting happily fell silent, their eyes flicked back and forth between her and Liu Ji, and they looked at each other.Yun Wei quickly waved her hands, and muttered, "No... no, Uncle Fan still has something to do."

There was a faint gasp in the hall, as if surprised by her voice and the fact that she finally spoke.

"Is there anything bigger than drinking?" Liu Jiman waved his hand indifferently, stepped forward and dragged her into the room.Yun Wei staggered and was dragged to the table, just as she subconsciously wanted to back away, a bowl of wine was handed to her. "Come here," Liu Ji patted her on the shoulder, "Brother Fan, if you ask me, just say that I gave it to him, no wonder you."

"...I don't drink." Yun Wei said.

"What?" Liu Ji thought he didn't hear clearly.

"I can't drink alcohol." Yun Wei said with a sad face.

Liu Ji was dumbfounded, and then changed into a earnest expression: "Oh, I said girl, someone must have told you that you can't touch alcohol in a girl's house, right? Tsk tsk." Shaking his head sadly, "Today's wine is good to drink , if you can’t drink it, I will pay back the five altars owed to Fan Kuai tomorrow!”

Yun Wei's eyes loosened, and hesitantly asked: "Uncle Liu Ji...are you joking?"

"Of course," Liu Ji patted his chest, "everyone present has heard that, if this girl can't drink this wine, if I, Liu Ji, dare to break my promise tomorrow, I'll just copy the guys and smash this booth!"

Yun Wei glanced at him, it was clearly written on his face that he asked Jun to take care, then he lowered his head to take the wine and took a sip.

"puff--"

Before the wine could be swallowed, it sprayed all over the floor like rain.Yun Wei choked on the spicy smell and coughed.The surroundings were quiet, and Liu Ji's face was like a ripe eggplant.

On the second day, he brought five jars of wine to the dog shop with his head downcast.Uncle Fan didn't hide his complacency, he laughed loudly and kept patting Yun Wei's shoulder, saying that the girl did a good job.Yun Wei's face was a little unnatural, she always felt that she had cheated Liu Ji, so she always picked more good ones for him when she sent the meat to him a few times later.

After coming and going, the two of them also became acquainted, and from time to time some officials from other places in Surabaya came to visit, and they all met Yun Wei face to face.After that time, Liu Ji still didn't believe that she couldn't drink alcohol, only that she was not used to it the first time she tried it, and naturally she wouldn't be like this after tasting a lot, so she forced Yun Wei to try different wines over and over again, So that for a while, Yun Wei subconsciously wanted to hide when he saw him bringing a jar over. After a few times, he finally realized that this girl was not compatible with things like wine by nature, and felt sorry for her for a long time.

Consciously or unintentionally, Liu Ji also often asks where Yun Wei is from, as if he wants to ask her about the terroir there.And she only said that she used to live in a small village on the other side of the mountain, and that the village was smashed up by the garrison who came to make trouble in Dasuotianxia, ​​and she escaped.Fengtuzhiliu, because she only stayed there for a few months, she couldn't say anything.She felt that Uncle Liu Ji seemed to have noticed that she was hiding something, but he didn't pursue it.

She heard from Uncle Fan that there was a treasured sword in Liu Ji's house, but he didn't usually see him take it out, and he didn't know if he was bragging or it was true.But indeed, Yun Wei thought, seeing him wandering around Surabaya on weekdays, there are people who know him wherever he goes, so naturally he doesn't need to use a sword to live such a carefree life.

But later she found out that wasn't the case.

That day Uncle Fan went out and left her alone to look after the shop.It just so happened that Liu Jihuang wandered nearby, greeted the officials patrolling the street, and came towards her.Seeing something in his hand, Yun Wei subconsciously backed away again.

"It's not a wine jar," Liu Jiyao waved at her, and said helplessly, "Young girl, why are you so afraid of this?"

Yun Wei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, smelling a strange fragrance wafting from the jar, she couldn't help leaning towards it curiously.

"How is it?" Liu Ji's expression was quite twitchy, "Today, the county magistrate and I went to the tavern on the mountain outside the city to have a drink, and we brought a jar of pickled plums along the way."

Yun Wei sniffed, the sweet and sour smell made her swallow her saliva.

"Hahahaha, I'm going to make you greedy." Liu Ji laughed when he saw this, and lifted the lid of the altar, "The pickled plums in this tavern are first-class, but you can save some for Brother Fan, so don't hold back Finished."

Yun Wei carefully fished out one from the altar, and slowly took a bite.The midsummer sun was poisonous, and this refreshing breath really lifted her spirits.Seeing her almost moved to tears, Liu Ji blew on his beard, raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, Uncle Liu Ji didn't blow it, did he?"

Yun Wei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Just now I heard from the magistrate of that county that a friend of his will be coming to Pei County in a few days." Liu Ji looked at Yun Wei eating with gusto, then changed the subject to what he had seen in the morning, with his arms crossed and his eyes showing. , "At that time, the county will definitely set up a banquet to welcome him. If it is placed next to Surabaya, maybe we can join in the fun..."

"Stop! You despicable little thief!" A loud shout suddenly sounded from the street.

Yun Wei, who was halfway through eating plums and still holding the next one, turned her head when she heard the sound, a middle-aged man in rich clothes was chasing a ragged child, who was holding a bun tightly in his ashen hands , must have come out of some kitchen.Yun frowned slightly, seeing the child sneaking around in the crowd, dodging it several times but was finally grabbed by the collar.The man had a fierce look on his face, and he raised the sword at his waist to hit him with the hilt.

Something flashed through his brain, Yun Wei's pupils shrank, and the plum he was holding had already come out of his hand and went straight towards the man's falling hand.Seeing that the falling sword hilt was about to hit the little boy on the shoulder, with a bang, a sword lay across the man's body to block him.

Yun Wei was stunned for a moment, and a bad sound sounded in his head.Sure enough, the plum that flew towards his wrist came right away, and hit Liu Ji, who was holding the sword impartially, on the forehead.

The blow was so hard that his head deviated and he staggered. The hand holding the sword shook, but he still held the man.When the people around saw this scene, they made a fuss, looking around for the villain who took advantage of the surprise attack.Yun Wei's hands behind her back trembled, and she silently took a step away from the jar of plums.

The little boy took advantage of the chaos to hide in the crowd and disappeared in a blink of an eye.After being smacked in public, the man wanted to push down the sword that was blocking him in a panic, but he didn't know that Liu Ji, who was holding the sword with one hand, did not change his face, but his strength suddenly increased to resist his downward strike.The man increased his strength angrily, but the sword he was blocking suddenly pulled away, making him unbalanced and almost fell forward to the ground.

"Who are you?" The man blushed and shouted at Liu Ji.

"It's just a villain looking for a meal here in Surabaya." Liu Ji smiled and hung the saber back to his waist, and wiped off the juice on his head.Yun Wei stared at the long sword swinging by his side, recalling that when he approached the dog shop just now, he didn't take care of what he was carrying around his waist.Over there Liu Ji bowed lazily: "There are a lot of lords, and unfortunately the border of Surabaya belongs to the villain, if something happens, the villain's position will be lost. The little one is here to accompany the adult in a crime, and I hope that the adult will hold his hand high and protect the young one's job, and will definitely give an explanation when we investigate it in the future."

The man's complexion changed, and he realized that the person in front of him was the pavilion chief of Sishui who was quite popular in Peixian County. In addition, he was quite familiar with several officials in the county, so it was not easy to court him. He made a fuss and had no choice but to walk away.After chatting with people he knew around, Liu Ji saw that the crowd had almost dispersed, so he walked back.Yun Wei glanced at his forehead guiltily, a red mark on it was as bright as an oil lamp.

"Uncle Liu Ji, I was wrong..." Yun Wei bowed his head and confessed.

Liu Jigang wanted to say something, he gasped and rubbed the mark on his forehead.

"Uncle Liu Ji, I really know I was wrong." Seeing this, Yun Wei blushed again, and pushed the jar of plums back in front of him, "I'll bring you a pot of better wine some other day..."

"Girl's hands are quite strong." Liu Ji looked at her while rubbing his forehead, but his eyes were not displeased with a smile that was not a smile, but a sense of appreciation that was quite appetizing. "It seems that Brother Fan is right. You are no ordinary girl."

Yun Wei couldn't help being stunned, but there was a trace of embarrassment on the back, trying to figure out the deep meaning of his words, Liu Ji put down his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, since I have already given you this altar of plums, I will definitely not Will take it back again."

Yun Wei's eyelids twitched, wondering if he felt that his obsession with that plum had reached this point, seeing Liu Ji was stroking his chin and thinking about something.

"The magistrate of the county will hold a banquet in a few days, and the girl has to go with me," he paused as he spoke, and clicked his tongue a few times as if reminiscing, "The vinegar fish in his family is really not so good."

Yun Wei looked puzzled, did he want to take him to Cengfan?

"Food must be eaten, and wine must be drunk." Liu Ji seemed to see through what she was thinking, fiddled with the long sword at his waist nonchalantly, and then looked at her with a smile.

"Eat and drink enough, and then bring the girl to meet someone."

The author has something to say: *Sweet and sour fish should not have appeared in the Qin Dynasty, because there was no wok at that time, and due to the constraints of cooking utensils, fried dishes could not be made.But all kinds of things that swim in the water, walk on the ground, and fly in the sky should be able to eat at that time (as long as they can be caught). Ordinary people do not have much wealth to eat rare food, and the meat is probably not much, so maybe the most It is possible to eat... Wild vegetables boiled in fish soup or fish stuffing or salted fish
