Chapter 241 Throwing the Bait
Yu Zhongdou was directing people in the yard to arrange the furniture and ornaments. He felt very satisfied when he saw that the originally empty yard suddenly became magnificent.
On the surface, he still modestly said to the person who delivered the furniture: "Brother Qiu is really too expensive. I don't dare to use such expensive things."
The person who delivered the furniture smiled and said, "Deputy Manor Master Yu, please don't be polite. Manor Master Qiu values you very much. These things are nothing in Manor Master Qiu's eyes."
Yu Zhongdou smiled and nodded. After the furniture deliveryman left, he asked Lili to help check if there were any problems with the furniture.
What could be wrong with these furnitures? 】
"What if they poison me, your master?"
【? ? ? ? 】When Lili heard this, she panicked and hurried to check.
But after a while, it asked again, "But, I don't know what kind of poison I can use to harm you..."
This means that it has no idea which toxicity of the plant may be harmful to the human body.
Yu Zhongdou's mouth twitched. "Then you can check whether there are any things in these furniture that are not originally there, and whether there are any ingredients that are harmful to animals."
Even if you don’t understand people, you should at least understand animals, right?
Sure enough, Lili still knows how to poison animals.
After it becomes a spirit, it also eats meat.
After Lili's inspection, Yu Zhongdou quickly confirmed that this batch of furniture was indeed high-end goods and had not been tampered with in any way.
Yu Zhongdou smiled, and without saying anything, he prepared some things, acted happy, and went to thank Qiu Li.
hey-hey!
I have a new house, so of course I have to invite you to come over as a guest...
The place for eating was none other than Yu Zhongdou's yard.
It was a sunny day and Yu Zhongdou started to get busy early in the morning.
He personally went to the town market to select fresh ingredients, and asked Dr. Qian to help find a few ladies with good cooking skills to help prepare a table of sumptuous dishes.
After everything was ready, we just waited for Qiu Li to come.
At noon, Qiu Li appeared at the gate of Yu Zhongdou's yard on time.
As expected, he was the man who controlled half of Lanwa Town. He brought a lot of people with him when he went out for a drink, and soon they surrounded the entire yard.
Yu Zhongdou pretended not to see him, and greeted him with a smile on his face, saying enthusiastically: "Brother Qiu, you are finally here, please come in, please come in! I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Qiu Li walked into the yard with a smile, looked around, nodded and said, "Not bad, Brother Yu, after you cleaned up this yard, it really looks like it was made."
"That's all thanks to your care, Brother Qiu. If you hadn't bought these things for me, my yard wouldn't have looked like a home so quickly." Yu Zhongdou said as he led Qiu Li to the dining table.
The table was filled with a variety of delicious dishes, exuding an enticing aroma.
Qiu Li looked at the dishes and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He smiled and said, "Brother Yu, you are really spending a lot of money to prepare such a large table of dishes."
"Brother Qiu, what are you talking about? You are giving me face by coming here. This is what I should do."
Yu Zhongdou said as he took out a jar of wine from the cabinet and said mysteriously, "Brother Qiu, today I have specially prepared something good for you. I guarantee you have never tasted it before."
Qiu Li looked at the wine jar in Yu Zhongdou's hand curiously and asked, "Oh? What kind of good wine can make you so mysterious?"
Yu Zhongdou opened the lid of the jar, and immediately, a rich and unique aroma of wine hit his nose.
When Qiu Li smelled the aroma of the wine, his eyes lit up slightly and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Yu Zhongdou smiled and poured a glass of wine for Qiu Li and himself, saying, "Brother Qiu, this is the good wine 'Monkey Wine' that is only available in Niba Eighteen Village. Please try it."
Qiu Li picked up the wine glass, carefully observed the color of the wine, and then took a sip.
The wine was mellow and soft, with a unique fruity aroma and a faint herbal fragrance that spread in his mouth, making his eyes light up.
"This wine... this wine is really good! I've worked in my uncle's winery for so long, but I've never tasted such good wine. Brother Yu, where did you get this wine?" Qiu Li put down the wine glass, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and vigilance.
Yu Zhongdou, who was waiting for him to doubt, did not move his face, still keeping a smile, and said: "Brother Qiu, you also know that I just came here not long ago, I am unfamiliar with the place, how can I get such good wine. This is a friend I met by chance, he is from Niba Eighteen Village, and he knew I was going to invite you for dinner, so he specially sent me a jar. I thought such good wine must be shared with you, Brother Qiu."
Qiu Li stared into Yu Zhongdou's eyes, as if trying to see something from his eyes.
After a while, he smiled and said, "Brother Yu, your friend is really generous. He gave me such good wine. Even my farm can't make such good wine."
Yu Zhongdou smiled foolishly and just poured water for Qiu Li to drink.
Qiu Li picked up the wine glass and took a big sip: "It's really good wine!"
"As long as you like it. Come, let's eat. Try the dishes I asked the villagers to make. They taste good." Yu Zhongdou said, picked up the chopsticks and greeted Qiu Li warmly.
As Qiu Li was eating, suspicion about the news came to his mind.
It seemed that only at this moment did he remember many unreasonable things, such as he asked Yu Zhongdou to cooperate with him in acting, and Yu Zhongdou played the "big villain" so realistically and with so much momentum that he almost thought Yu Zhongdou was real.
Besides, as for the current Monkey Wine, his uncle has worked so hard to collect famous wines, but none of them can compare to Monkey Wine.
Can a commoner really produce such good wine?
The doubts in my heart grew and entangled like vines.
On the surface, Qiu Li was still chatting and laughing with Yu Zhongdou and toasting his glass frequently, but the vigilance and suspicion deep in his eyes became increasingly intense.
"Brother Yu, this 'Monkey Wine' is really top-notch. You are a very loyal friend." Qiu Li smiled and tried again.
Yu Zhongdou seemed not to have heard it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think I am lucky to have met such a generous friend. I am glad that you like it, Brother Qiu. If there is another chance in the future, I will definitely ask him to get some for you."
Qiu Li nodded, with a barely perceptible cold light flashing in his eyes, "Thank you very much, Brother Yu. You are such a generous friend. I must find a chance to get to know you someday."
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qiu Li stood up and said goodbye.
Yu Zhongdou enthusiastically sent him to the gate of the courtyard. Looking at Qiu Li's departing back, he knew that the matter was half done.
As for the remaining half, it depends on whether Qiu Li dares to lead people to Niba Eighteen Village.
The current Niba Eighteen Village is not the same as before. He must be made to leave without returning.

After Qiu Li returned to his residence, he immediately called his confidants to his side.
His face was solemn, and his eyes revealed a firm determination. "Go and make arrangements. No matter what, find a few reliable people to go to Niba Eighteen Village."
The confidant was slightly startled, and asked in confusion: "Master, I wonder why you are going to Niba Eighteen Village this time?"
