Chapter 15: Slightly drunk
The sun has risen in the middle of the sky, and the pedestrians on the road are gradually becoming scarce, and even if there are pedestrians, they are all staggering to the ground, sticking to the root of the wall, borrowing the shadow of less than half a foot, shrinking their heads and feet, bowing their heads and moving everywhere. The front of the shop was scorching under the sun, drooping its head and writhing weakly in the wind; "Brother Ghost" and Xiaojun found a store with fewer customers, the dilapidated electric fan was "squeaking" and squeaking in the air, and the boss was sitting sleepily under the fan, and the chicken was pecking rice. Seeing someone come in, he ignored him and greeted him weakly: "What are you eating, sit down!" The two of them asked for a bowl of cold noodles each with a little apology.
After saying that, the boss got up and went to the back kitchen, Xiao Jun caught a glimpse of the beer stacked in the corner, looked at the "ghost brother" with great interest and said: Have you drunk it, taste it, you can invite the rice, I will invite the wine, right? "Brother Ghost" looked at Xiao Jun, hesitated and said: "How old is it, the hair has not grown up, and you still drink!" Xiao Jun stared at him and said with a little contempt: We are all adults, who said that my hair has not grown up, find a toilet for you to see! "Ghost brother" put down his chopsticks in a fake manner and said: Let's go-let's see-- Xiaojun looked at him with a smile as if he was deflated, and said: I guess you haven't grown up yet, and the man doesn't even dare to drink a beer!
"Brother Ghost" stood up, walked over, grabbed Xiao Jun's arm, and said: Let's go, go to the toilet -- Xiao Jun smiled and shook off "Brother Ghost" and grabbed his hand, looked at "Brother Ghost", and said in high spirits: "Hero-General, come on, drink a bottle, I wish you a victory! Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?
"Ghost brother" helplessly turned his head and looked at the stacked beer, he had never touched the wine, not a drop of wine, when he was at home as an adult, Liu Jianshe also persuaded him to try it at the dinner table, but he never implemented it, thinking that "all things are removed, only wine and poetry remain", it is rare to have free time today, try it once; he nodded slightly to Xiaojun, raised his index finger, and said sternly: A bottle - just a bottle!
As he spoke, the meal was ready, and the boss brought it up and put it in front of him, and said: "Young man, use it slowly!" Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Jun raised his voice and said: "Boss—another bottle of beer!" The boss turned his head and looked at the two of them, and said "um", went to the corner and took out a bottle, opened the lid, took two small bowls, and put them in front of them together. Xiao Jun picked up the bottle and poured it into the bowl, a bottle was just two bowls, and the overflowing white foam began to slide outward, and the "ghost brother" watched quietly; Xiao Jun poured it well, pushed a bowl in front of the "ghost brother", put a bowl in front of him, and looked at it while eating, he picked up the bowl and signaled to the "ghost brother", the "ghost brother" was still hesitating, Xiao Jun was just about to open his mouth to say something, and the "ghost brother" said: The ground is white and the wind is cold, and the snowflakes are as big as a hand. Laugh and kill Tao Yuanming, don't drink the wine in the cup. Lang stroked a piano and planted five willows. Empty head scarf, what do I have.
Xiao Jun laughed "hahaha", and the "ghost brother" said: It seems that in order to make me drink, he has been scared a lot! Xiao Jun said with a smile on his face: No--I just like Tang poems recently, and I am just learning and selling them now, and I am still far from you!
"Brother Ghost" shook his head, followed the example of the TV, picked up the bowl and touched Xiaojun, drank a big sip, the mouth full of bitter taste filled his mouth, swallowed it forcibly, put down the wine bowl; After taking a sip, the hiccups stopped, a bitter taste came from the root of the tongue, and he couldn't help but want to spit it out; Xiaojun motioned for him to swallow, only to endure it, sat down, calmed down for a while, and instantly felt a sweet taste rising in his throat, so he half-believed, gently took a small sip, and once again really felt it, it was indeed a bitter taste and then sweet, as well as the strong aroma of wheat fermentation, "Ghost Brother" put down the bowl, looked at Xiaojun and smiled with satisfaction.
Xiao Jun looked at the intoxicated appearance of "Ghost Brother", laughed "hahaha", picked up the only remaining wine, looked at him provocatively, took the initiative to touch the wine bowl of "Ghost Brother", and then raised his head, poured it directly into his mouth, and drank it all, like a sweet spring pouring into a dry well. "Brother Ghost" saw it, also picked up the wine bowl, stood up, raised his neck, poured into his mouth, closed his mouth, his two cheeks swelled like a frog, divided into two mouthfuls and swallowed, he couldn't help but splash, a sweet satisfaction brought by it, it overflowed from the throat and mouth to the whole body, I felt that my body was slightly sweating, and the wind blew, and there was a trace of coolness.
"Brother Ghost" touched his swollen belly, his face was already slightly red, and he looked at Xiao Jun, whose face was also red, and said: "Are you satisfied?" Xiao Jun laughed happily, and "Brother Ghost" shouted to the boss: Boss, settle accounts! Xiao Jun got up and stopped "Brother Ghost" and insisted on asking him to pay, "Brother Ghost" smiled and said: "Xiao Jun, I'll come" -- after saying that, he handed the money to the boss.
After settling the account, the "ghost brother" stood up, suddenly felt dizzy, his body was a little light and fluttering, fluttering, a kind of inexplicable and brisk fluttering, like stepping on a somersault cloud, floating back and forth in mid-air. Trying to walk out of the door steadily, the two of them stood on the side of the street and looked at each other, and they both pointed to each other's red faces, and laughed loudly, provoking the pedestrians walking against the wall on the side of the road couldn't help but stop and look at them strangely.
The two of them hurriedly lowered their heads, and the "ghost brother" dragged Xiao Jun's arm against the wall, and said: Let's go, don't be ashamed! Xiao Jun said as he walked: They don't understand, this is "suddenly feeling that the good wine is drunk with spring flowers, and a smile adds a red glow"! "Ghost Brother" laughed in front of him and kept shaking his shoulders up and down, swallowed his saliva, seemed to have a little taste of wine, and muttered: "Nine Turns Spirit Pill That Shengjiu!" Xiao Jun came up, looked at "Ghost Brother" and said: What did you say, didn't you hear? "Ghost Brother" He took Xiaojun's shoulder, pretended to pluck a hair from the back of his head, pinched it with two fingers, blew on his mouth, pulled Xiaojun on, rode on a somersault cloud, blew a cool breeze, floated into the air, floated over the roof, floated over the treetops, and landed in a familiar alley.
After a flutter, the two of them suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the feeling of dizziness gradually lessened, "Ghost Brother" pulled Xiaojun into the bookstore, the boss wilted, one hand supported his chin and was napping, when he heard someone coming in, he was excited, and saw that it was "Ghost Brother", waved his hand weakly, changed his hand to support his chin with one hand, and continued to squint and start napping.
In the bookstore, two fans overhead swirled around the sultry air. "Brother Ghost" pulled Xiaojun, tiptoed, lowered his voice, and introduced all the books on the container to Xiaojun layer by layer from beginning to end - middle school magazines and periodicals, literary classics, middle school curriculum guidance, college entrance examination center guidance, real test questions, etc. After the introduction, the two found a corner location, and "Ghost Brother" proudly told Xiaojun: Since the second year of high school, except for classes and sleeping, the rest of the time has basically been spent here, and I dare not say that I have read every book, but 90% of them have been read.
Xiaojun looked at him in surprise and said: You just looked, don't you buy it? Is it okay for the boss? "Brother Ghost" looked up at the boss and said as if showing off: We are a cooperative relationship, and many of the information books in the third year of high school were recommended by me to Teacher Zhang, and after the grade group met and discussed, they were all bought in this bookstore. The boss wanted to give me a share of the money at first, but I didn't, so I can watch it here!
Xiaojun gave a thumbs up to "Ghost Brother". "Brother Ghost" said mysteriously: I have already told the boss that you can enjoy the same treatment as me when you come to read books in the future.
Xiao Jun looked at "Brother Ghost" a little embarrassed, and the two looked at each other and smiled. "Brother Ghost" waved his hand and said: "Look—look at what you want, and protect the books!" Xiao Jun nodded, and began to wander around in front of the bookcase aimlessly, even a little impatiently.
