I Have A Dual World Seal - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Good Wine

Old Man Liu’s eyes were fixed on the wooden box, and he gulped.

Madam Liu tugged at her husband’s sleeve. “What are you doing? Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“It’s my first time visiting, so I didn’t prepare any gifts. I only brought a tea set and three bottles of wine,” Lu Zheng said.

“What kind of wine?” Old Man Liu immediately asked.

“A bottle of aged white wine and two bottles of refreshing fruit wine.”

“I was just wondering. No wonder I smelled a hint of fruit fragrance.” Old Man Liu nodded his head and said, “great. Let’s drink the wine you brought. Compared to your aged wine, the turbid wine I prepared is not presentable.”

Madam Liu pinched her husband discreetly. Liu Qingyan lowered her head, embarrassed for her father.

Old Man Liu pretended he didn’t notice it and asked the guard to open the wooden box in the main hall. Lu Zheng took out three porcelain bottles from the wooden box.

“This is a bottle of Wuliangye, brewed with five kinds of grain. It has a strong and mellow fragrance. You should try it later.”

Old Man Liu was drooling. Lu Zheng knew that Liu Qingquan took after him.

“These two bottles are green plum wine and peach flower wine. They are sweet, refreshing, and good for the skin.”

Madam Liu’s eyes also lit up. “What a beautiful teapot.”

Lu Zheng took out the three bottles of wine and revealed the purple clay teapot set at the bottom. Liu Qingfei, who had sharp eyes, saw

it.

“What an exquisite tea set. Young Master Lu, you’re so thoughtful.” Old MLiu said.

Lu Zheng smiled without saying a word.

Old Man Liu sat at the head of the table, Lu Zheng sat at the side, and Liu Qingyan sat next to him.

Sitting opposite Lu Zheng was Madam Liu, and Liu Qingquan was seated at the end.

The clear wine was poured into the wine cup, and the fragrance of the wine filled the room. Old Man Liu sniffed the air and praised, “I have lived for decades, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a good wine that is as clear as water, but also has a rich fragrance!”

“Thanks to you, I’m really blessed to have a good meal today.” Old Man Liu raised his cup.

The five of them clinked their glasses and downed their drinks.

“Good wine!” Old Man Liu’s eyes were filled with amazement as he complimented loudly.

Lu Zheng chuckled to himself. There was no distillation technique in the great Jing dynasty, so the alcohol content was low. 20% alcohol was already considered high, so wasn’t a 35% Wuliangye a top-grade wine?

If he weren’t worried that it was too much, wines with 52% alcohol were the best. One sip and he would be drunk!

The green plum wine and peach wine were brewed with modern techniques and tasted fresh and sweet. Madam Liu and the Liu sisters drank them immediately.

“The fruit wine doesn’t taste like much alcohol, but it’s quite strong. Drink slowly.” Lu Zheng said.

“Yes, yes, don’t be greedy. Let’s eat.”

Even though they didn’t have as many condiments, the ingredients prepared by the Liu family were all very fresh. Their cooking skills were also good, so Lu Zheng enjoyed the taste.

Soon, they were slightly tipsy.

Eating and drinking was indeed the best way to build a good relationship. They were only halfway through the meal, but the relationship between Lu Zheng and the Liu family had already improved by leaps and bounds.

Old Man Liu knew that Lu Zheng was alone, so he insisted that Lu Zheng call him Uncle Liu.

Lu Zheng also learned that the Liu family had moved to Tonglin County because they had offended the local tyrant of their hometown.

Old Man Liu was a doctor, and he was preparing to open a clinic in Tonglin County.

A clinic…

The gears in Lu Zheng’s head spun, but he didn’t say anything. He turned to look at Liu Qingyan. After two glasses of fruit wine, Liu Qingyan’s face was flushed. Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and her eyes were bright. Lu Zheng could even smell a faint fragrance.

Lu Zheng blinked his eyes and hurriedly turned his head. He heard Old Man Liu speak again.

“When I was young, I was shadowing a great doctor. He really revived the dead and rejuvenated flesh from bones. There was no illness that he couldn’t cure!”

“Although I didn’t learn much, I learnt how to cure minor illnesses.”

“Hehe, and my skills are passed down to my daughter, so she’s capable too.”

“Don’t brag, she…”

Madam Liu picked up a piece of chicken and quickly stuffed it into Liu Qingquan’s mouth.

“Mmm!” Liu Qingquan muttered as she chewed.

Lu Zheng chuckled and pretended not to hear anything.

At the table, both the host and the guests were happy.

Old Man Liu had too much to drink after the meal, so Liu Qingyan walked Lu Zheng to the door.

“It’s been a long time since he was so happy. I have to thank you for the wine.”

“You’re too polite.” Lu Zheng nodded and smiled.”We’re neighbors. It’s only right for us to look out for each other.”

Liu Qingyan pursed her lips and smiled. “See you later, Young Master Lu. Be careful of the steps.”

Lu Zheng waved at her before she stepped out of the house and returned to his own house.

When he woke up, he felt refreshed.

Lu Zheng lay on his bed and injected energy from one more ray of light of providence into his body. He felt that his physical fitness had improved a little.

At the same time, his Qi was already circulating rapidly in his body, and he could also increase it.

However, Lu Zheng didn’t strengthen it for the time being. “There are a total of twelve rays of light of providence. When I learned the Quiet Breathing Technique, I used seven rays. Today, I used another, so I only have four left.”

“Opening a candy store should also affect Shitou and Masan’s fate, right? Why wasn’t there any energy? Is there no impact, or is the impact too small?”

“I might go to Baiyun Temple again soon. I don’t know if Master Mingzhang can see my level of cultivation. I can’t become too powerful suddenly.”

“There’s no rush. It hasn’t even been ten days since I learnt this breathing technique.”

With the sunlight shining through the window, Lu Zheng began to think about his future plans.

However, his phone rang. “Lu Zheng, are you up yet?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

“Get up, have lunch with me!”

“What’s wrong? Whappened?”

“Nothing, it’s a good thing. Accompany me on a blind date!”

Lu Zheng was speechless.”Do you need someone to accompany you on a blind date?”

“The girl said that she wanted to bring her best friend to avoid awkwardness. She also said that I could bring a friend. Zhao Si and Little Lei are already taken, so I’m helping

you!”

“Right, thanks.”

Lu Zheng was speechless once again. “You really deserve to be single. She’s just being polite. Look it up on the internet. It’s normal for women to bring their best friends. Men usually go on dates alone. Which man brings his friends?”

The caller was Lu Zheng’s ex-roommate, Tong Muxuan. He was the oldest of the four roommates and had been single for four years, just like Lu Zheng.

“You’re talking as if you’re not single. Do you think you know more than me?”

“I…”

“Hurry up. Let’s meet at Dongshan Park subway station at 11 a.m. If we have a good time later, let’s go for a game of murder mystery.”

Lu Zheng sighed. “Alright…”
