Pushing Xiao Er away, he picked up Tang Huoqi's collar and put the wine bowl on the table viciously, with a vicious look that he would not stop until he drank.

Xiaoer looked at Tang Huoqi with a troubled face, and wanted to go forward to say something, but was stopped by a pair of hands.Looking up along that hand, Tang Huoqi looked calm.

She only glanced at the wine bowl, a subtle smile appeared on her face, and she only said two words lightly.

"I come."

Chapter 25

"Try again, what kind of wine is this bowl!" The big man was already flushed with anger, "If you can taste it again, I will leave it to you to kowtow!"

Tang Huoqi pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and pushed the wine bowl back, "Let's just kowtow to each other!"

After that, the pair of black and bright eyes twirled among the dozen or so wine bowls on the table, "One wine bowl and one head...there are thirteen wine bowls in total. So, wipe the odds Let’s say you owe me ten rings!”

Tang Huoqi bowed his hands to the crowd, and said: "Please be a witness. This elder brother is also a famous person, and he would not do anything to bully a newcomer like me in front of everyone." Come!"

The big man who was about to roll up his sleeves and yell at him suppressed his anger when he heard this.To put it bluntly, this matter was originally provoked by myself, and now I have suffered a loss and can only endure it!If he hit someone before running away like in the past, the neighbors in this circle will probably only use him as a joke in the future!

While hesitating, Tang Huoqi pointed to the bowl of wine just now, and said three words without hesitation - "Zhuyeqing."

"You..." The big man looked at the expressions of the audience around him, and he knew that the situation was over. Although he was not reconciled, he still lowered his head dejectedly, "It's just fourteen rings, I'll knock it! You have to knock it out! Kid, whoever is your last name should report it to the family!"

"I'm just an unknown pawn who doesn't know my name!" Tang Huoqi bowed his hands politely to him, "As the saying goes, 'a man has gold under his knees', this ringing is just a joke--I'm a junior, I know I'm a victim I'm sorry. There's no need to kowtow, but the wine bill here..."

Hearing this, the boss who had been hiding behind the cabinet hurriedly ran up to the two of them with his abacus in one hand and the ledger in the other.Fiddled with the butcher in front of the butcher, "In the past seven drinks and today's meal, the total is 38 taels of silver!"

"38 taels of silver, please return it!" After finishing speaking, Tang Huoqi brushed the dust on the table casually, and the dozen or so bowls on the table suddenly bumped into each other and made a crisp sound, which was very pleasant to hear.

He has already saved face for himself and made concessions to Si, if the money is not given, I am afraid that there will really be no place for him in this town in the future.

Thinking about this, the butcher only hesitated for a moment, threw the money bag on the table, and then pushed aside the crowd and walked out.

Tang Huoqi took the purse and shook it lightly, and said to the boss with a face full of happiness, "So, can I go too?"

The boss looked up at the money bag with a flattering smile.

"What? I've already asked for the money back for you. Could it be that you, the shopkeeper, don't want this heavy bag of silver?" Tang Huoqi raised his eyebrows with a pity, "Maybe the shopkeeper doesn't want this money, let alone the money." Do you want me to stay in this shop and continue to work as a waiter? Then I will return the money to the butcher just now..."

"Hey! Who said you don't want money! Give me the money, and you can leave!"

Hearing this, Tang Huoqi put the money bag on the table, took off his coarse clothes and put it on the table, and walked out of the door proudly.

The sky is bright and the air is clear, and the wind is smooth.What a beautiful day!

"My lord, please stay!" After a few steps, he heard footsteps behind him, and in the next moment, a pair of hands put on his shoulders.

Tang Huoqi turned his head blankly, "What's your business?"

The man bowed to her with a smile on his face, "Just now in the tavern, Xiongtai is really knowledgeable! He can distinguish the smell of more than ten kinds of wine. I just don't know the name of Xiongtai, otherwise I would be in this world. It's a pleasure to be a friend!"

Tang Huoqi only looked him up and down, frowned and didn't answer.

Seeing the defense and scrutiny in her eyes, the man smiled even more, "I am the steward of the Jiangnan Tang Family Winery. I just saw that you have a talent that is different from ordinary people in this place, sir, so I would like to ask you to think about what position to take in our Tang's winery..."

"The winery in Jiangnan?"

"Yes, Tang's is the largest winery in the south of the Yangtze River, and its wine 'Qiankun' has been praised by the current sage." There was a hint of confusion on the man's face, "Tang Huoqi, the only young master of the Tang family , I just married the third princess last year...you don’t know, my lord, do you?”

"I... know now."

The man was slightly taken aback, and brought the topic back, "If you can come, you don't have to worry about the salary, if you have other requirements..."

"Let me think about it." Tang Huoqi nodded to him, and then continued to walk forward.

"I don't know where the young master lives now? In a few days, I will send someone to ask you for a letter." The man refused to let go, and continued to chatter behind Tang Huoqi step by step.

"I live now... Ouch, Ouch!" Tang Huoqi, who was still fine just now, suddenly squatted down, as if he was enduring great pain, howling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the man quickly squatted down, just about to ask, but he was punched down to the ground unexpectedly.When he got up again, there was no one in front of him...

"Do you really think I'm an idiot if I lose my memory? Where can such a good thing happen to me?"

In order to get rid of that weird person just now, Tang Huoqi pretended to be sick while he was squatting down, punched him down with all his strength, and then rushed all the way to a deserted alley. At this moment, he was panting for breath , "It's Jiangnan again, and it's a winery-everywhere is my appetite, it must be another trap waiting for me to jump into! Fortunately, I have a long memory after the money bag last time, otherwise I would really be betrayed And even count the money for others!"

Tang Huoqi supported the wall to catch his breath, patted his chest, and showed a happy smile on his face for getting rid of that person.

"Lost you?" Sima Ji slammed the letter on the table after only one glance, "I sent you all out, but I couldn't see even one of you? What a joke, it's a big deal!" joke!"

"My son-in-law has lost his memory and is very wary of strangers, so..."

"Okay, you step back!" Anyway, these are insignificant words, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen to them.

Sima Ji rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously, only feeling a little tired.

Although he didn't bring anyone to the south of the Yangtze River, at least he has found the trace, right?

It's just that she has lost her memory now, if someone were to send her to the south of the Yangtze River forcefully, I'm afraid she would feel conflicted and take precautions against herself, and the subsequent diagnosis and treatment would not be smooth or even worse.But if she came softly, she is now on the defensive, and it's hard to trust others in everything...

Thinking of this, Sima Ji pursed his lips and rubbed his brows again, feeling that things had never been so difficult.

Chapter 26

Carrying the wind and riding the waves, it arrives without a trace, leaving the dust and entering the earth, leaving traces everywhere.It seems like we were happy to meet each other at the beginning, but it is unexpected that staying on the tree is a conspiracy.

The morning sun first shines into the store door, and the lush greenery on the window sill is rolling back and forth with the dewdrops from last night. The hooves that have been boiled all night are now mixed with the unique fragrance of the morning, and penetrate into the noses of the passing merchants.The mellow aroma alone can make people imagine how the hooves in this big pot melt in the mouth, crispy and soft.

Pedestrians all stopped for a while, although they couldn't afford the big hoofs that cost three or four catties, but they didn't need to pay for the aroma, right?

When the smell of meat came together, the porridge and cakes sold around the street suddenly lost their popularity in the past. The sun was shining, but the porridge and cake shops were still deserted, with only a few people here and there...

"Boss, give me a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns."

The boss looked at her listlessly, opened the white cloth covering the barrel, scooped out a spoonful of porridge and put it in a bowl.In his left hand was a bowl of gruel with soup dripping on the side, and in his right hand were two slightly yellowed steamed buns in a small plate, and they were all pushed in front of the person.

Tang Huoqi looked at the porridge and steamed buns that had been eaten for three days in a row without any oily smell, and he couldn't help but sighed in his heart. He took out three copper coins from his waist and put them on the table.

This porridge is getting thinner... This steamed bun is getting more and more yellow... Could it be that the prices of white flour and rice here are soaring all the way?

Although I was dissatisfied in my heart, I still resigned to my fate and started looking for two clean chopsticks from the chopstick holder...

These days are really tight!

Tang Huoqi silently swallowed a mouthful of porridge and looked up at the sky.For some reason, ever since I met someone who claimed to be the manager of the winery, everything has been going wrong for me!Not to mention that I can't find a place to work and earn money, but I can't even get out of this small town!Hearing what the yamen's Ren said, something big happened in the town, and people were only allowed to enter but not to leave.Ever since, I was left behind for no reason...

"A bowl of porridge, and four meat buns."

He was drinking porridge with his head down, and suddenly there was a guy who wanted to eat meat buns sitting opposite him. Tang Huoqi gnawed a mouthful of steamed buns—how did he sit opposite him with so many empty seats? Human!

"Girl, the meat buns and porridge you want are here! They're still hot, be careful!"
