"I'm here to pay homage to General Qin!" Li Xiu said deeply to Qin Qiong opposite Mr. Ma. He didn't expect that the guest Ma invited was Qin Qiong. However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was not surprising. Lao Qi, the personal guard next to Mr. Ma, was a personal soldier around Qin Qiong before. Just this can tell that Ma and Qin Qiong have a different relationship.

"You don't have to be polite, sit down!" Perhaps because he didn't have to act as a bodyguard next to Li Shimin, Qin Qiong seemed to have said more than before. For example, this time he actually said five words in one sentence, which was really rare.

Li Xiu was not a polite person either. He greeted Mr. Ma again and sat down. At this time, Mr. Ma immediately spoke, "Boy, I won't forget to prepare a bar like last time? Today, Uncle Bao came to me and wouldn't return without getting drunk!"

"Don't worry, the wine and food are ready. I guarantee that Uncle Ma and General Qin have a good time!" Li Xiu smiled and patted the food box beside him and said, although he didn't like wine, he knew that Ma had guests, so he specially prepared some "good wine" to entertain guests yesterday afternoon.

"It's true. Even if your small food box is filled with wine, it's probably not enough for me and Shubao?" Ma Ye said in disbelief at this time. He and Qin Qiong both had a lot of money. Every time they drank, their stomachs became swelling, and they just felt a little drunk. So he was worried that Li Xiu had not prepared enough wine, so he also made people prepare a lot of good wine in advance.

"Uncle Ma, don't believe it. Don't blame me if you get drunk later!" Li Xiu said as he opened the food box, then took out the dishes inside and placed them on the table. Although he was here to fish today, Ma Ye asked someone to prepare a shorter table. The three of them sat on the ground, which was quite free.

Ma Ye watched Li Xiu bring the dishes up like that, including what he had eaten and what he had never eaten. Each one was fragrant, but he wanted to see what wine Li Xiu was holding. In the end, Li Xiu took out a small wine jar from the bottom of the food box. It looked like there were only two or three pounds. This little wine was not enough for him to drink it alone.

"Boy, you...you have prepared such a little wine enough for whom?" Ma Ye couldn't help but angrily when he saw this. He knew that Li Xiu hated drinking and did not like others to drink, so he thought he had prepared such a little wine on purpose.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, don't be angry in a hurry. You will know the secret of this wine after you smell it!" Li Xiu smiled and opened the blockage on the wine jar, and a strong aroma of wine floated out. Even Qin Qiong, who had always cherished words, could not help but praise: "Good wine!"

"Huh? Why is this wine smell so familiar?" Mr. Ma twitched his nose hard, as if he was about to suck all the wine smell into his stomach, but his face showed a puzzled expression because he felt that the wine smell had smelled somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, of course you will feel familiar. Do you still remember the alcohol I used to treat the princess when she was in Gyeongju?" Li Xiu said with a smile. After he made alcohol, the distillation equipment became his personal belonging and was brought back. Yesterday, he heard that Ma Ye wanted to clear the customer, so he specially made some distilled liquor. Of course, the degree is not very high, and it is estimated that it is only thirty or forty degrees. For Ma Ye, who usually only drinks about twenty degrees, it is already considered a high alcohol.

"Isn't alcohol used to treat injuries? Can it be drunk?" Mr. Ma showed a puzzled expression when he heard this.

When Li Xiu distilled alcohol, he did feel that the alcohol was very fragrant, but later he heard that it was used to treat the princess's injuries, and several large jars of wine were only made into a small jar, which completely dispelled his other ideas. Later, the princess's injury improved, and he was overjoyed, and the alcohol was also left behind by him. After all, in his opinion, alcohol was just a relatively special drug.

"Of course I can drink it. In fact, distilled liquor was originally used to drink, but later I found out that it has the effect of disinfection!" Li Xiu said in the end very vaguely. He only said that he later found that alcohol had the function of disinfection, but did not say who discovered it.

Compared to Master Ma who likes to dig in the bottom line, Qin Qiong is much more direct. He picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for himself, and then drank it all in one go. However, he was used to drinking low-alcohol wine of about twenty degrees. At this time, he suddenly drank such strong wine. For a moment, he felt like a stream of red iron in his mouth, and instinctively wanted to spit it out. However, Qin Qiong was not an ordinary person, and he suddenly swallowed the sip of strong wine.

Although I swallowed the wine, Qin Qiong's yellow face turned red. I felt like my stomach was about to rebel. After a while, I slowly recovered. I couldn't help but open my mouth and spit out four words: "What a strong wine!"

Seeing Qin Qiong's appearance, Ma Ye couldn't help but become curious. He picked up the wine bowl and tasted it. Because Qin Qiong's previous experience, he only took a small sip. As soon as the wine was in, Ma Ye's face wrinkled. After a moment, he shouted excitedly: "Good wine! Happy! This is the wine for people to drink. No wonder you, a kid, disdained the wine I drank. It turns out that you knew there would be better and stronger wine!"

After Ma Ye laughed again, he drank the wine in the wine bowl a few sips, his face full of pain and pleasure. Then he filled Qin Qiong and himself with wine again. The two raised their glasses and clinked at almost the same time, and then drank them all in one go. Although it was the same strong wine, as long as they were mentally prepared, drinking it in one sip was not difficult for them.

"Uncle Ma, General Qin, drinking on an empty stomach is too harmful to the stomach. Come and try the taste of today's food!" Li Xiu also invited the two of them to eat the food. They didn't take chopsticks, so it was hard for him, a junior. You must know that he has not had lunch yet.

When Ma Ye heard this, he hurriedly asked Qin Qiong to eat some dishes. He had eaten some dishes, so he enthusiastically introduced them to him. He asked Li Xiu if he hadn't eaten them before, but Li Xiu didn't pay attention to him. At this time, he used chopsticks to chew on a braised lion's head. This was one of his favorite dishes. Since he taught Yue Chan, what she made was getting better and better.

"Boy, this distilled liquor is very suitable for my appetite. How about we make it for money?" After three rounds of wine, Mr. Ma suddenly suggested that the vegetables in the greenhouse could no longer be sold at high prices during this period, and the income in the princess's mansion plummeted, which made him very uncomfortable, who was used to spending money with big hands and feet.

"It can't be sold, it's too much food!" Li Xiu swallowed the lion's head with difficulty, and then immediately forked one with chopsticks to continue eating. There were only four big lion's heads on the plate, and he ate two of them by himself.

"Yes, I heard that the prince wrote to His Majesty and requested the issuance of a ban on alcohol. I guess in a while, I will not even be able to drink light wine!" Qin Qiong suddenly said a passage. Although this passage is not long, it can be regarded as a long discussion for Qin Qiong.

"Don't be surprised, as long as Shubao drinks wine, he will speak normally!" Seeing Li Xiu's surprised look, Ma Ye smiled and patted his shoulder, then frowned, "If you really ban wine, it would be really troublesome, but Li Xiu, you are right. Now there is a shortage of food. If you make a lot of wine, it will probably make the food price more expensive and the lives of the people will be even more difficult."

"Actually, everything has both good and bad sides. For example, when it comes to wine, although it wastes food and can easily cause various problems after getting drunk, it can also be used as a drug to treat wounds, so it is a bit arbitrary to ban wine." Li Xiu said while chewing on the lion's head, "It's just bragging and spanking, and you don't have to be responsible anyway."

"How to cure alcohol?" Qin Qiong was stunned when he heard this. When Li Xiu purified alcohol in Qingzhou City that day, he was not present, so he didn't know about alcohol.

"It can indeed be cured. Li Xiu distilled alcohol from the alcohol and then cured the princess's injury!" Ma Ye rushed to say, but he only knew that alcohol could cure the injury, so he didn't know how to cure it, because every time Li Xiu cleaned Princess Pingyang's wounds, Ma Ye and others had to avoid it. Li Xiu could not tell outsiders that he washed the princess' thighs, otherwise he would have been chopped by Princess Pingyang long ago.

"Haha, it's nothing. The wine reaches a certain concentration. Applying it to the wound can prevent the wound from getting inflamed. Uncle Ma, you just said that it is unrealistic to sell it with distilled liquor, but you can distillate a small amount of alcohol for military use. Although it will also consume some food, it can also save the lives of many soldiers!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Boy, why have you never told me that alcohol can prevent wound inflammation?" Ma Ye suddenly widened his eyes when he heard this, staring at Li Xiu with annoyance and questioned. He always thought that alcohol was just a drug made for Princess Pingyang's injuries, but he did not expect that it had the effect of preventing wound inflammation.

"Have I told you?" Li Xiu also asked in surprise at this time. He thought Ma Ye knew the effects of alcohol.

"Of course I haven't said that if I knew that alcohol had this effect, I would have reported to the court to make alcohol. Do you know how many soldiers in the army die from wound inflammation every year?" Mr. Ma also shouted angrily at this time.

"Uh? This... I may have forgotten!" Li Xiu thought about it carefully. When he just distilled the alcohol that day, he wanted to explain the effects of alcohol to Ma Ye, but he was interrupted by Li Shimin who suddenly appeared. Later, he forgot it. So if he wanted to blame this, he would blame Li Shimin. Anyway, he had too many sins on his body, so this one is not bad.

"Boy, you always do such unreasonable things. Where is that weird thing that distilled alcohol?" Ma Ye scolded again, but he had no choice but to deal with Li Xiu.

"In my house!" Li Xiu knew that he had done something wrong and answered very honestly.

Hearing his words, Mr. Ma immediately ordered Lao Qi to take them, his face still angrily. Qin Qiong beside him explained: "Brother Ma, don't blame Captain Li too much. It's just a few months. There has been no war during this period, so he can't miss anything. As for the use of alcohol military, it's not a matter of one day or two, so don't rush for a moment!"

"That's it! General Qin understands the truth!" Li Xiu immediately took the lead and said, which made Ma glaring at him again.

Although Qin Qiong had spoken for Li Xiu, he still felt a little guilty. He was very attentive next time and kept persuading the two of them to drink. Mr. Ma slowly calmed down and raised his glasses to drink with Qin Qiong, and talked about some old things. However, Li Xiu became more and more wrong with him. He asked strangely: "Uncle Ma, General Qin, you seem to have known each other long ago when you hear it?"
