Chapter 222 Intoxicated



The next day, Mr. Zhao asked someone to send the letter, which was written long and wrapped in a thick envelope, back.

After that, she ignored it and continued to devote herself to the remaining road construction work.

But when I am busy, I will occasionally be distracted and think about where my letter is, or when the ship will arrive.

I don’t know when the ship will arrive, it will probably take some time.

However, the first batch of wine from Jiangyuan County has already been produced.

According to Zhao Jun's previous instructions, this batch of wine is basically only supplied to Ba County for internal consumption.

For a time, anyone with some wealth in the prefectures and counties asked someone to buy it.

The Shi family is of course no exception.

When their people arrived in Jiangyuan County, they quickly bought the newly brewed wine.

Later, when Pan Daning learned that Zhao Jun was temporarily staying at Shi's house, he gave him a can for free.

Another thing is that the bottles they use to hold wine are pottery jars fired in the earthen kilns of Xiayuan County.

This was the idea that Zhao Jun gave to Pan Daning.

"Sir, please come to the Shi family tonight. The wine from Jiangyuan County has arrived. We must enjoy it tonight."

Shi Yu smiled and greeted Zhao Jun who was about to go out.

After a few months, the two got along well and became more casual in their conversations.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there tonight."

Zhao Jun shouted back and then left.

As evening approached, Zhao Jun deliberately finished today's mission early and returned to the Shi family with Shi Hong.

After more than a month of getting along, Shi Hong's awkwardness has disappeared.

He found that if you talked to Zhao Jun without personal feelings and talked to her about business, she would be very enthusiastic.

She is also very decisive when doing her work.

Regardless of other things, Shi Hong felt that Zhao Jun, like his younger sister, was indeed not the kind of person who could be trapped in the backyard.

"Oh, second brother, just listen to me. This dinner must be placed in the yard. It's too stuffy in the house."

From a distance, Shi Yu's voice could be heard.

"It's almost summer and the house is stuffy. Most importantly, wine tastes even better under the night sky, don't you understand?"

Shi Yu ordered people to move the table out and set it up while teaching Shi Gan, who was ignorant of romance, a lesson.

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. Little sister, I remember you don't seem to be able to drink."

Shi Gan smiled faintly. The little girl who couldn't drink was talking to him about drinking.

Shi Yu was choked by his words and was about to turn around to continue arguing with him.

"Yo, everything is ready, just waiting for us."

Zhao Jun walked in after shouting with a smile.

Xiao He, Su Junqiang and Shi Hong followed in.

Liu Bang arrived early and sat down in the yard.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you to come back. Now that you're here, we can start the feast."

Shi Yu winked at the servants behind him, and soon they started serving the dishes.

Everyone arrived and took their seats.

At this moment, the bright light is still falling and the sky is about to become dark.

"Shi Yu, I understand you want to pursue the beauty of drinking alone under the moon, but I want to ask you, in the mountains of Ba County, you can't see the moon or the stars. What will we do when it's pitch black?"

She said it jokingly with a smile.

Everyone chuckled when they heard this.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yu seemed somewhat proud.

"Of course I thought of that, come here."

She clapped her hands and many servants came up, each holding two oil lamps and placing them on their tables.

Zhao Jun was stunned.

Well, it’s time for a candlelight dinner.

"How about it? It's very artistic, isn't it?"

Shi Yu was proud.

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere was very lively for a while.

"Next is the highlight of tonight's dinner."

Shi Yu clapped his hands, and the servants brought up the purchased wine, one of which was placed specially in front of Zhao Jun's table.

"This is the first batch of wine from Jiangyuan County this year that I had someone buy. The bottle that Lord Zhao has is a free gift from County Magistrate Pan."

Shi Yu chuckled and took the lead in opening the pottery jar on his desk.

The others also opened the ones in front of them.

Zhao Jun didn't open it directly but looked at the pottery jar carefully.

It was baked according to her idea. It is not very big and has some patterns on it, which looks quite stylish.

Then Zhao Jun opened the wine seal, and a familiar smell hit him.

Well, this is the smell of wine.

The people at other tables apparently smelled the alcohol as well.

Shi Hong and Liu Bang were the most impatient, as they were people who loved drinking.

Shi Gan smelled the wine in surprise, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Although Xiao He and Su Junqiang also drank, they didn't like it very much and didn't know much about it.

Let alone Shi Yu, she was very excited and quickly poured herself a small cup.

Zhao Jun glanced at everyone's reaction and poured himself a small cup.

Several people tasted the newly brewed wine.

"Good, this is really good wine. How can there be such good wine?"

Shi Hong, who obviously knew something about wine, couldn't help but speak loudly.

The others nodded as well.

Shi Yu didn't agree because she was choked by the spicy taste.

"Little sister, you'd better not drink it. This wine is not ordinary pure. You can't get used to it."

Shi Gan whispered a reminder from the side, but was glared back by Shi Yu.

The cool evening breeze slowly rose in the courtyard, carrying the aroma of wine in the air.

Everyone was enjoying the wine and chatting, and it was a very pleasant moment.

There is no moon, and I don’t know how much time has passed.

In short, by the end of the drinking, there were not many sober people in the yard.

Many people didn't expect this wine to be so intoxicating, but they got drunk after drinking just a small bottle.
