Chapter 22: Alcohol Is a Good Thing
Elder Liu’s eyes were fixed on the wooden box, and his throat made a "gurgle" sound.
Madam Liu tugged at her husband’s sleeve, "What are you doing, aren’t you embarrassed!"
Lu Zheng spoke up to ease the situation, "It’s my first visit, and I didn’t prepare much, just brought a tea set and three bottles of wine."
"What kind of wine?" Elder Liu immediately asked.
"A bottle of aged white liquor and two bottles of lighter fruit wines."
"I was wondering why I smelled a hint of fruit fragrance," Elder Liu nodded decisively, "Well then, let’s drink the wine you brought. Compared to your aged liquor, the crude wine I prepared is not worth showing."
Madam Liu secretly pinched her husband, and Liu Qingyan lowered her head, feeling somewhat ashamed for her father.
Elder Liu pretended not to notice and instructed the gatekeeper to bring the wooden box into the main hall and open it, while Lu Zheng took the initiative to take out three one-pound ceramic bottles from the box.
"This is a bottle of Wuliangye, brewed with five types of grains, rich and aromatic. You can try it later."
Elder Liu was practically drooling, so Lu Zheng understood who Liu Qingquan inherited his personality from.
