"Don't worry, human life is precious, where can you say throw it. Bai Yuan replied with a smile, then moved to the edge of the table, and picked up the ear-embossed clay wine jar, "I have to taste your wine before I can break it." ”

After speaking, he raised his head to drink, but the other party raised his hand to stop him, buckled the edge of the altar and pulled the wine back, "Boy, let me remind you again, the friendship of fellow villagers is more important than living in peace." Don't think about playing any tricks here, you know?"

These words were meaningful, Bai Yuan knew that he was worried about his partiality, and he didn't explain, so he raised his head and put the wine in his mouth, smacked it, and said truthfully: "Mixed with water, it is less than one percent of this altar, that is, the amount of two or three sips." ”

The man's eyes lit up.

Bai Cheng was quite surprised, connoisseur, such a small amount, when changed to ordinary people, it must not be noticeable or anything.

In addition to the accident, Bai Yuan was still a little happy, since he knew wine, he would definitely be able to listen to some truth, and he should not continue to smash the store and cut people.

He calmly put the wine jar back, and before he could speak, he was suddenly rounded by the shopkeeper's arm and gave a big mouth!

With a "snap", the slap was hard and solid, and half of Bai Yuan's face quickly swollen.

Shopkeeper Chen was already panting at this time, his waist was straight, his eyebrows were disdainful, and he opened his mouth sarcastically: "Where did you come from such a thing with no eyes? Don't listen and listen, how long has my restaurant been open? Any dirty water dares to splash it on me!

After he finished scolding, he turned his head and smiled: "This master, how can you believe this kind of miscellaneous words? Besides, he is not even worthy of lifting your shoes, and you can't talk to him." Today's matter, it's abrupt in our store, and my mouth is also not cleaned up. In this way, your wine money is free, and I will give you two more altars of imperial spring tribute, and you can keep it and drink it slowly. ”

He suddenly changed his attitude and flattered the shabby man who had just been sarcastically mocked by him.

As if he hadn't listened, he took out a money bag, brocade surface, Su needle embroidery, and excellent workmanship. He didn't look at it, and threw it directly into Bai Yuan's arms, "Take it, with this, in Qianyang City, everything you want is enough." ”

Before Bai Yuan could hold the money bag steady, Shopkeeper Chen snatched it back, turned his head and smiled: "This master, call Huazi's life cheap, how can he deserve this reward." ”

As he spoke, he put the money bag back into the other party's hand and patted it meaningfully on the hand that was carrying the work.

This money is rewarded, which means that what Bai Yuan just said is confirmed.

The shopkeeper Chen was like a good person, and he saw that the man who was in tatters was not easy to mess with, and he was now bent on suppressing the matter, of course, he could only pour dirty water on Bai Yuan.

This face-changing kung fu is simply breathtaking, and you play the trick of black-box operation, and you don't betray people?

The fire in Bai Yuan's heart turned upside down, he flipped the wine jar in his hand, blackened his face, didn't say hello, and smashed it at the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Chen saw that the situation was not good, and he tilted to the left to dodge.

The jar was smashed on the head of the bearer impartially.

The body that was carrying the life shook twice, and he threw his head back to the ground. Before falling to the ground, he rolled his eyes, all unwilling.

Bai fell smashed the wrong person, but he was not affected in the slightest, he still pounced on his face without changing his face, and scolded while pounced: "What about your face? Master, I see that I stand up for you in the face of my fellow villagers, and you turn around and give me a bully and ingratitude! Okay, I'll let you know today that your slap can be regarded as a slap on the head of Lord Yama!"

Shopkeeper Chen was so frightened by him that he dodged left and right, and retreated again and again.

Bai fell all the way on a rampage, shouting and throwing things, the wine jar shattered to the ground, the cups and plates overturned, and the chickens flew and the dogs jumped for a while.

Shopkeeper Chen shouted while hiding: "Blast!

Only then did the guys in the store react, and they all stepped forward, and dragged Bai Cheng out viciously.

"Wait!"

Before Bai Cheng was thrown out, a man dressed as a young master stood up.

Bai Fall knew this person.

Just now, when everyone was swarming around to see the excitement, he was the only one sitting calmly by the door, as if he was unaware of everything in the store, indifferent.

He originally looked like he didn't care about himself, but now he actually stepped forward, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this scene was too familiar, so he was very curious, and opened his mouth to ask: "This benevolent brother, haven't you seen what will happen to me after I stand out for others?"

The young master didn't answer, but got up, stepped forward in a few steps, and gestured to the shopkeeper, "Wansheng just returned to Guizhou, and I don't want to bump into such a lively shopkeeper." There is a reason, there are many visitors, and the shopkeeper is not afraid that this excitement will become a joke?"

Shopkeeper Chen didn't buy it, he stood with his hands on his hands, with a posture of not entering the oil and salt: "Come in, you are a guest, you can laugh if you want to laugh, but if a little Huazi wants to splash dirty water on the signboard of my Shengtai Restaurant, I will not be able to follow him!"

The young master thought for a while, turned around and pulled Bai Shen back, and specially sent it to the shopkeeper Chen, before saying, "Look at this little beggar, he is empty from head to toe, if he really wants to splash it, he didn't bring the dirty water himself, right?"

This person is not very old, and his momentum is not excessively ostentatious, but every word he says seems to carry weight, implying a sharp edge.

Shopkeeper Chen couldn't help but take a closer look at him, the placket satin horse coat, the neckline and cuffs were neatly wrapped around a circle of tea and white edges, not like ordinary people's houses, pondered for a while, and said: "This young master, I see that you are also a master with status, why is it so thankless to protect a stinky food? Listen to my advice, be careful that the thing is not done, and then rub yourself dirty." ”

"In this world, people who carry sewage in their hearts dislike others for being dirty, and they don't know who gave them their faces. Bai Yuan saw that he had lost the stitches, and he turned his eyes to look at the young master and smiled, and asked, "You said yes, right?"

The young master bowed: "Yes." ”

As soon as the two of them sang and harmonized, Shopkeeper Chen secretly held back his anger and asked, "This young master, look at this posture, do you have to take care of this matter?"

The young master nodded, and replied with certainty: "You and I are both businessmen, and when we open a store in Guizhou, there is absolutely no reason to let the guests be slapped in the face." ”

Shopkeeper Chen: "He's a stinky begging for food, where will he become a guest?"

"If you enter the door, you will naturally be a guest. "The young master is rightfully back.

"Yo, it seems that I'm someone Chen who has made a big deal and offended my friends in Qianyang City. Shopkeeper Chen raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and his attitude suddenly became arrogant: "You are the same as the one who carried the work, and you are also here to smash the field?"

"Well, I can afford to smash it. The young master's face did not change, and he replied cruelly, still calm and clear.

Shopkeeper Chen clasped his hands around his chest, rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, then let's have a good debate." Since this Hanako said that my wine is mixed with water, then I think I am also an expert in the things in the cup, in order to convince the big guys, why don't you bet on a game of wine now?"

Gambling on alcohol has a lot to do with it.

It was first a relatively elegant competition popular among the children of the Eight Banners, and later slowly became popular among the people along with the wine merchants from all over the country.

Gambling on wine, gambling on wine is knowledge and knowledge. Take a glass of wine, and say what kind of wine it is, you have to say why it is this wine.

Good, what's good? Bad, what's wrong?

Back then, gambling and drinking were once very prosperous, relying on the tongues of the children of the Eight Banners who were fed by the Quartet, and in later years, the rewards of the imperial court became less and less, and no one could reproduce the grand occasion of the year.

As soon as the shopkeeper Chen finished speaking, a warm applause immediately broke out from the surroundings.

Bai Yuan looked very indifferent in the middle of a circle of extraordinarily expectant spectators, and he replied: "Yes." ”

Shopkeeper Chen: "If you want to gamble, you have to have a little bit of a lottery." If you win today, you're right. I admit to the shop, extra, I still show this old face, call you three times in the hall, and compensate you. But if you lose, don't say that I bullied you, the one lying behind me is probably going to lose some money, plus the things I smashed in this store, it's a total of fifty yuan. Do you dare?"

He opened his mouth widely, knowing that Bai Yuan had no money and wanted him to ride a tiger, but Bai Yuan did not hesitate at all, and pointed directly at the person next to him, "If you lose money, you ask him for it." ”

The young master was stunned by the sudden smashing of the bet.

Before Bai Yuan could speak, he turned his head sideways and asked, "Do you dare?"

"If you dare, I dare. ”

Although the young master was surprised, he did not hesitate, he took a heavy money bag from his waist and put it on the table, "I'm not used to carrying silver dollars when I go out." ”

As he spoke, he opened the money bag and pushed it in front of everyone, and it was full of bright broken gold nuggets.

Shopkeeper Chen didn't say much at the moment, and ordered people to share the table and prepare wine.

The guys quickly opened up their hands and feet, and in the end, according to Bai Yuan's intentions, invited a gentleman with high moral standing and fairness to adjudicate.

This gentleman's surname is Fang, he is straightforward, and he loves to stay in the teahouse and listen to books.

I don't know what the guy who went to invite people said, but in the end, not only Mr. Fang came, but also brought more than 30 people to watch the excitement, inside and out, and crowded Shengtai Restaurant.

These people usually like to drink a little wine, no one thought that now in this chaotic years, the county officials and masters have been ousted from power, in such a place where the emperor is far away, you can still see a big gamble in the heyday of the Manchu king.

The table was put together, covered with green cloth, and it was the ring. The cups were lined up, and a total of five glasses were placed.

Mr. Fang himself is not good at wine, he has a list in his hand, and someone has recorded the names of the wine one by one in advance to facilitate the conclusion of right and wrong.

The crowd was crowded, looking and talking.

Seeing that everything was in order, Bai Yuan bowed his hand to everyone, and did not hurry, from right to left, and tasted it in turn.

"The wine is clear, the taste is positive, the entrance is thick and mellow, and the same mountain is burned in Zhejiang. ”

"The aroma is strong, sweet and palatable, Luzhou cellar wine. ”

"The wine is slightly yellow, hanging glass, and has a long aftertaste, Duck Creek Daqu. ”

"The front is thick and the sauce is cold, cold and strong, this wine is not close, it is Lingchuan white. ”

He only takes one sip of each cup, and he can tell the truth with a sip. concise and to the point, but to the point, three words and two sentences, listening to the crowd is still unsatisfied.

After each glass, he rinses his mouth with water and then tastes the next one. The whole process is unthinking, confident and smooth, and the eyes that are already clear and flawless are reflected in the water of the cup, which is even more shining.

Mr. Fang's index finger pressed the strip/child, and every time he drank a drink, he shouted yes.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Along with these "right" words, there were more and more enthusiastic applause and praise from the surrounding spectators.

When Bai Fall's hand fell on the last cup, Shopkeeper Chen's face was already very ugly.

Bai fell but ignored him, the wine had already been eaten, and the small wine cup was put back on the table with a "click".

"Pure but not greasy, empty cup fragrant, is Tai Yongde's sword Gu. ”

The surrounding spectators were looking forward to it, and the applause was already in their mouths.

Mr. Fang hesitated: "...... It's a pity, it's a pity. After he finished speaking, he handed the strip to Bai Yuan to read, "This wine is Qianxue Daqu." ”

Then, the voices of regret and complaints around him sounded.

Shopkeeper Chen was busy and took the opportunity to come out to play a round: "Everyone, listen to me! The little brother is young, and it is not easy to guess such a situation. Although he lost today, he was still glorious and glorious even though he was defeated. ”

"Who said I lost!" Bai Yuan grabbed the strip and glanced at it, the handwriting on it was clear, but the mellow fragrance of Jiangu was still on the tip of the tongue, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake.
