"Okay, boss lady." Li Xiu took the box of wine.

Whether intentionally or not, when the landlady let go of her hand, her fingertips lightly slid across the back of Li Xiu's hand.

"Brother, this road is really slippery, be careful not to fall." The proprietress looked at Li Xiu with a smile and said.

"I'll pay attention." Li Xiu carried the wine out of the tavern, then took the wine out of the box and placed the bottles on the long table outside.

Boxes of wine and plates of food were brought out, and Li Xiu discovered that the food here was mainly fungi and seafood, and the fruits were also something he had never seen before.

More and more people came to help. What puzzled Li Xiu was that these people had never seen him before, but when they saw him, a stranger, they didn't feel any surprise or distance at all.

Maybe it's because the residents here are like the name of the city, full of love and enthusiasm, but this still makes Li Xiu feel a little strange.

The sky was getting dark, and many people had come to the small square. Father Wu also dragged a large wine barrel over. The wooden barrel was as big as half a room. He held it on his shoulder with one hand.

He casually placed it on the ground of the square without any difficulty at all, as if the wine barrel was made of foam.

Before the host of the treat arrived, someone had already started drinking.

Bottles of wine were opened, the tap on the barrel of wine brought by Father Wu was also turned on, and cups of amber wine were filled.

The cup that was bigger than my face was held in front of my face by a guy, and he drank it all in a short while.

The man wiped the remaining wine around his mouth and said boldly: "Dad Wu, your Rose Wine is becoming more and more authentic. It's even better than the boss lady's wine."

"Blind tailor, tell me what you just said again?" The proprietress, who looked like a rose with thorns in a red dress, came over and grabbed the blind tailor's ear.

The blind tailor was not angry at all, and smiled as if he was enjoying it: "Daddy Wu's wine is delicious, and boss lady, you look beautiful. I want both the wine and the beauty, and both are indispensable."

"Go away." The landlady laughed and cursed, and let go of the blind tailor's ears.

When Li Xiu heard the name of rose wine, he couldn't help being slightly startled, and quickly picked up the cup.

Father Wu next to him handed the cup that was bigger than his face to Li Xiu: "Little brother, this is not how you drink wine, you have to use this."

"Okay." Li Xiu took the cup, turned on the faucet, filled the cup, and then brought it to his mouth to taste.

The wine is fragrant in the mouth, with a strange fragrance. After entering the stomach, it feels like a ball of heat is spreading in the stomach, and the whole person feels warm.

"The taste of this wine..." Li Xiu's expression became more and more complicated.

The first wine he drank in the underworld was called "Blood Rose". The name of this wine was Rose, missing the word "blood", and the taste of the wine was very similar to that of Blood Rose, but it seemed to lack something, not like blood.

The rose is so strong.

"Little brother, how do you like my wine?" Father Wu asked with a smile.

"Like a woman, she is soft when first tested, but fierce when she is embraced." Li Xiu said.

Father Wu laughed loudly after hearing this, patted Li Xiu on the shoulder with his big hand and said: "Little brother, you are a person who knows wine. My rose wine is brewed with a unique secret recipe using the love rose flowers unique to our City of Love."

It is made by mixing the flowers of love into wine, which is gentle and fiery. Young people should drink more. This taste is stronger than love."

With that said, Father Wu raised his cup in front of Li Xiu and touched it with Li Xiu: "To love... cheers..."

Watching Father Wu drink it all in one gulp, Li Xiu had no choice but to finish the large glass of wine.

"Brother, I'm the boss of the wine shop. I won't be happy if you talk about my sister like this. I'll punish you with this drink." The lady boss brought a glass of wine to Li Xiu: "Taste my gentle lover, it's better than that."

I don’t know how much better the smelly old man’s wine is.”

Hearing this name, Li Xiu couldn't help but be startled again.

The wine "Gentle Lover" is also available in the Underworld House, and Li Xiu has also used it when mixing wine.

Looking at the mint-colored wine in the cup, it is a little different from the gentle lover in the underworld.

Li Xiu took the wine glass and had a drink with the proprietress.

After putting down the wine glass, the landlady asked with a smile: "How is my gentle lover?"

"Thousands of twists and turns, endless aftertaste, like a crazy woman, this wine can kill people." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It's not just wine that kills people," the landlady said meaningfully with a charming look in her eyes.

Li Xiu didn't know if alcohol could really kill people, and he was really confused right now.

The aroma of this wine is very similar to that of the gentle lover, but there is something missing and a little different.

"Madam boss, what is this wine made from?" Li Xiu asked.

"The recipe of the wine is the foundation of my tavern and my lifeblood. It cannot be passed on to others. If you want to know, it's easy. My tavern really lacks a boss." The proprietress said with a half-smile.

.

"Houselady, you want an old cow to eat tender grass. You are immoral or not. My brother is so young, so don't harm him. If you are really lonely and unbearable, then come and harm me. I will take all the blame.

One person has to carry it." The blind tailor laughed.

People on the side were cheering, and the atmosphere was joyful for a while.

"Go away, you are such an old guy, I don't like you." The words of the landlady made the whole room burst into laughter again.

"Xiaobu'er is here." Someone shouted, and everyone fell silent immediately.

I saw Xiao Bu'er still dressed as he was during the day. After walking to the square, he jumped on the stage, snapped his fingers to the boss's wife, and said proudly: "Boss's wife, give me a glass of the strongest wine."

"Here we come." The landlady walked to the long table, opened a bottle, poured some white liquid from it, and handed the cup to Xiao Bu'er.

When the landlady passed by Li Xiu, Li Xiu could clearly smell the strong smell of milk in the cup.

Xiao Bu'er took the cup and raised it high: "I, Xiao Bu'er, invite you to drink. No one is allowed to leave today unless he gets down."

Everyone raised their glasses excitedly, and Li Xiu also raised their glasses together, and the carnival night suddenly kicked off.

It seemed like everyone in the city was here, whether it was an aunt holding a child or a shy girl, their drinking capacity was surprisingly astonishing, one cup after another.

After a while, someone jumped on the table and danced, and the sloppy violinist also picked up his violin to accompany them.

It didn't take long for many people to join in, and Heiqi also dragged his girlfriend Ka Duoer to dance.

Li Xiu held the wine glass and drank a little of each wine. The names on the bottles made him feel familiar yet unfamiliar.

Xiao Bu'er was also very high, clinking glasses with people everywhere, but her "wine" was the kind of white liquid with a milky aroma poured for her by the landlady.

"Can you get drunk with milk?" Li Xiu looked at Xiao Bu'er's red face and felt a little confused.

"Children can't drink." The landlady sat down next to Li Xiu and said with a smile.

"Xiaobuer said her father is in Tianzhihai?" Li Xiu said.

"People always have some hope, and children need hope even more." The lady boss filled Li Xiu's cup, poured a cup herself, raised it in front of Li Xiu and said with a smile: "With hope, everything is possible, don't you think so?

.”

The words of the landlady seemed to answer his question, but at the same time she didn't seem to answer. What could Li Xiu say? He had no choice but to clink the wine glasses with the landlady and drink the wine in one gulp.

"If I were you, I wouldn't get drunk tonight." The landlady just took a sip and looked at Li Xiu and said with a half-smile.

"Why?" Li Xiu was a little confused.

"Perhaps there is something better than wine waiting for you to taste. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it?" The boss stroked the rim of the glass with his fingers, his eyes full of spring, and he gently turned the tip of his tongue to wipe away the wine stained on his red lips.

"Well, I don't think that man is blind at all. Why do you call him a blind tailor?" Li Xiu changed the subject.

The boss lady was not his type, and he was full of doubts and was not in that mood.

"He, he can't even mend a patch, so what else can he do if he's not blind?" The landlady pointed at the violinist: "Look at the clothes on the violinist's body, they were all mended by a blind tailor."

Li Xiu looked at the luthier. There were patches everywhere on his clothes, but the craftsmanship of those patches was really hard to praise. The stitches were big and uneven, and even the patches were twisted. Even an ordinary housewife would not be able to do that.

It won't be made up like this.

"A tailor made it look like that, how did he not starve to death?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"The mending of his clothes is not very good, but the mending of other things is okay," the landlady said.

Li Xiu wanted to ask again, but the landlady stretched out her finger and tapped Li Xiu's forehead. She brought her red lips to Li Xiu's ear and said, "I've always been very lazy. I don't want to get up after I fall asleep. But Li Xiu is very lazy."

I can't sleep with the light on, and I wonder if anyone will help me blow out the light."

After that, without waiting for Li Xiu to answer, he twisted his waist and walked away.

As soon as the proprietress left, she staggered over as if she was drunk, stared at Li Xiu and asked, "What were you talking about with that old woman Didi Gugu just now?"

"She said you are very popular in the city." Li Xiu smiled.

"Hmph, ask her to talk more." Xiao Bu'er said coldly: "You'd better stay away from that woman. Anyone who gets involved with her will not end well."

"Is your father really in Tianzhihai?" Li Xiu didn't want to discuss this issue with a little girl, so he asked instead.

"Of course." Xiao Bu'er raised his voice and said, "When I grow up, I will build a big ship and go to the sea of ​​​​the sky to find him."

"Then what?" Li Xiu asked.

"Then beat him so hard that he can't take care of himself." Xiao Bu'er said viciously.

Li Xiu said in astonishment: "Why?"

"Who told him to leave me? It would have been very merciful not to kill him." Xiaobuer snorted coldly: "Have you really been to the Sea of ​​Heaven?"

"I've only been outside the door." Li Xiu sighed.

"Why don't you go in?" Xiao Bu'er asked.
