Chapter 263: Eating Watermelon Scene
At the Lu Mansion in Qiongzhou, Jiang Tangtang hosted a banquet to welcome Lu Shili.
Lu Shili has been traveling around for the past two years. In addition to helping Jiang Tangtang open up trade routes and manage businesses in places other than Lingnan, he also often helps Lu Shiyan with things.
In order to reward Lu Shili, Jiang Tangtang not only cooked a table full of delicious dishes herself, but also brought out the fruit wine that she had brewed with the big-fruited banyan tree a few days ago.
Although these large-fruited banyan trees have not been planted in the space for a particularly long time, they have been contaminated with a lot of the spiritual energy of the space.
This fruit wine not only tastes good, but also contains a lot of spiritual energy.
When the wine was just brewed, Jiang Tangtang tried drinking some and found that it was very beneficial to his internal strength.
After discovering the efficacy of the wine, Jiang Tangtang carefully collected it and decided to keep some for her family to drink, and give the remaining small portion to Lu Shiyan in the army as a prize.
Xue Banxian took only one sip and shouted, "Good wine," and drank the whole glass.
After Xue Banxian finished drinking the wine, he smacked his lips, savored the taste, and then filled his glass again.
Seeing this, Jiang Tangtang advised, "Doctor Xue, this wine tastes sweet, but it has a strong aftertaste. Be careful not to get drunk. Eat more food."
"You girl, you have such good wine, why don't you give it to this old man?" Xue Banxian didn't believe it and drank another glass.
"Isn't this freshly brewed? If you like it, bring a few more jars when you go back. I'm just worried you'll be too drunk to carry them."
"You want to get me drunk with just this little bit of wine?" Xue Banxian didn't take it seriously and quickly drank the glass of wine.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jiang Tangtang was too lazy to persuade him anymore. After all, apart from being drunk for a few more days, it would not do any harm to his health.
Jiang Tangtang did not invite any outsiders to the welcoming banquet this time. Apart from Xue Banxian, the only guests were Lu Shiyan and Lu Zhixi, brother and sister.
Since they were all close family members, Jiang Tangtang didn't ask the servants to serve them. While eating and drinking, they listened to Lu Shili talk about the situation outside.
As Lu Shili was speaking, he suddenly heard a "bang" and saw Xue Banxian, who was sitting next to him, hit his head on the table and fell down.
He was startled and hurriedly supported Xue Banxian, "Sister-in-law..."
"Don't panic, he's just drunk." Jiang Tangtang had tried it before and knew how strong the fruit wine was. She hurriedly called the servants over and helped Xue Banxian to rest.
"You didn't drink much, did you? Are you drunk already?" Lu Shili shook the wine jug in front of Xue Banxian and felt that there was still half a jug left.
He knew that Xue Banxian could drink a lot. With a wine pot this big, drinking two or three pots would not be a problem.
You only drank half a pot and you passed out?
Although I knew that my sister-in-law had good things in her hands, I was still shocked.
In the second half, everyone's attention was on the wine.
Seeing that everyone was very curious about fruit wine, Jiang Tangtang talked about his plan to start an orchard and make fruit wine.
"Sister-in-law, this is a good idea. The fruit wine is delicious and we don't waste food."
Lu Zhixi admired Jiang Tangtang very much, "Sister-in-law, what kind of fruit do you plan to use to make wine?"
"I discovered a wild fruit tree in the nearby woods. This tree has a very good yield. The fruit wine we are drinking today is made from the fruit of this tree."
Of course, in addition to the large-fruited banyan tree, Jiang Tangtang also plans to breed more grape seedlings in the space, plant them on a large scale, and produce several types of fruit wine.
"Sister-in-law, where is the wild fruit? Can I go and have a look?" Lu Zhixi was very curious about the fruit that could be used to make such delicious wine.
Jiang Tangtang was planning to go check on the progress of the orchard recently, so she just nodded. The two agreed on a time to go to the orchard, and Lu Zhixi asked Lu Shiyan and Lu Shili, "Will the eldest and second brothers go with us tomorrow?"
Lu Shili quickly shook his head, "I won't go. I'll take a boat to Taiwan tomorrow."
When Lu Shiyan heard that the two were going to the woods, he felt a little uneasy and wanted to follow them. However, the military camp was busy with the competition recently, and he really couldn't leave. When he came back for this meal today, it was still very crowded.
Lu Zhixi knew that his two brothers were busy, so he didn't take it seriously that they couldn't go.
The next morning, Lu Shiyan rode back to the military camp.
Jiang Tangtang, Lu Zhixi and others had breakfast before slowly leaving the house.
The valley where Jiang Tangtang planted the large-fruited banyan trees happened to be in the same direction as the pier, so the few of them went out together.
Lu Shili rode a horse, while Jiang Tangtang and Lu Zhixi took a carriage together. Lu Zhixi liked Jiang Tangtang very much and wanted to go to Jiang Tangtang to talk in private last night, but thinking of her brother's cold face, she didn't dare to go.
Today I finally got the chance. As soon as I got on the carriage, I took Jiang Tangtang aside and started chatting about girlish things.
The two hid in the carriage, eating snacks and chatting like best friends.
Lu Shili, who was riding a horse in front, was stopped by someone.
"Second Brother Lu." Cui Yueling's eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "Can you come down and talk to Yueling?"
Lu Shili said expressionlessly, "There's nothing much to say. Miss Cui, please go back!"
"Second Brother Lu, are you still blaming me for what happened back then?" Cui Yueling looked at his cold expression, feeling flustered. "It wasn't my wish to break off the engagement back then. It was my grandmother's idea."
"I don't mean to blame you, but you and I have already broken off our engagement and have no relationship anymore. It's really indecent for us to meet like this. Miss Cui, please go back." Lu Shili did not hide his impatience on his face and urged his horse to move forward.
Cui Yueling saw that there was neither affection nor hatred in his eyes, and he really treated her as a stranger. Suddenly, she didn't know what to do.
If she cannot win Lu Shili's favor and renew the engagement with her, then when she returns to the Cui family, she will become that useless person again.
Those cold eyes and bullying will be more ferocious than before.
She absolutely didn't want that, she had to seize this opportunity.
She was anxious and didn't care that they were still on the street. She raised her hand to grab Lu Shili, "Second Brother Lu, please listen to my explanation. I have always had you in my heart. After breaking off the engagement with you, I never forgot you. My family arranged many marriages for me, but I ruined them all. I know I will never have another chance in this life, but I don't want to marry anyone else but you."
…
Inside the carriage, Lu Zhixi, who was chattering non-stop, finally noticed something unusual in front.
"It seems that my second brother is being entangled by a nymphomaniac." She was a little gloating.
"Be careful, your brother might hear you and punish you." Jiang Tangtang said that, but her smile was happier than Lu Zhixi's. At the same time, she got off the carriage swiftly and walked forward.
She hasn't eaten melon for a long time.
I finally caught up with the scene of eating melons, of course I can't miss it.
Lu Zhixi also ran very fast.
However, her excited expression instantly turned into anger the moment she saw Cui Yueling. "Why are you here? You shameless woman, how dare you bother my second brother?"
