Chapter 167: A Different Old Friend
Old man Yan tilted his body, with a small square stool under his arm, half leaning and half leaning on the side of the short-legged small square table, looking at the dishes brought by Bian Rui and said with a smile: "It's still a small side to have a trick, you can see that after a while, you can make up enough four dishes, and they are all good dishes for wine."
In addition to lobsters, the sugar tomatoes and garlic cucumbers that Bian Rui said are all used in large bowls, and a bowl can hold two or three cucumber strips. There is also a dish of salted duck eggs, a whole egg is divided into four, and four eggs are used to make the appearance of lotus petals, which are beautifully stacked on a snow-white plate.
The salted duck eggs were not pickled by Bian Rui, but pickled by the fourth uncle's family, and were given to Bian Rui's small half basket, and Bian Rui found out today to make a dish.
The taste is okay, but Bian Rui generally doesn't drink alcohol and doesn't eat this, even when he eats porridge in the morning, his favorite side dish with porridge is pickles instead of salted duck eggs, so this half basket of duck eggs has been on the table for a long time, and Bian Rui has only eaten less than five, and he just took it out today to make up a plate.
The old man who came out of the cellar in the backyard of Bian Rui's house with a jar of wine sat on the floor with a beautiful butt at this time, and while carefully removing the mud seal at the mouth of the wine jar, he continued the old man's words.
"Give this kid another ten minutes, he can get a table of dishes, but this is already very good, tomatoes, cucumbers and salted duck eggs, the four generals who drink small wine are now short of peanuts."
"Why don't I get it for you again?" Bian Rui said this, but he didn't mean to move at all, obviously scolding the old man.
Old Man Wu doesn't mind, everyone is familiar with each other and has reached the level of forgetting the New Year, so it is not a matter that Bian Rui is not big or small, not to mention that today is the two old men who are hungry for wine, come over to rub Bian Rui's wine.
Carefully patted open the sealing mud, and then untied the plastic seal inside, there is a layer of reverse clasp sludge seal under the plastic bucket seal, carefully knocked open the seal to uncover the reverse buckle of the porcelain bowl, and suddenly a smell of wine came to the face.
"Wow, this wine!"
Old Man Wu squinted, put his nose to the mouth of the wine jar, and sniffed lightly while fanning the wine gushing out of the mouth of the jar to his nose with his hand.
"Why is your wine better than mine?" said the old man with a long sigh.
Bian Rui said: "It may be my cellar here, okay, why don't you hide your wine in my cellar too?"
As soon as he heard Bian Rui say that he would hide his wine in his cellar, Old Man Wu suddenly became entangled, and at a glance, he knew that the old man was a little reluctant.
Bian Rui couldn't help laughing when he saw it, Bian Rui liked the two old men's unpretentiousness very much, reluctant is reluctant, like an old naughty boy's reaction, which made Bian Rui's heart very happy.
"Look, you're stingy!" Bian Rui said with a smile: "Can I still hack your wine?"
Bian Rui really wanted to help this time, and Bian Rui felt that if he didn't put his wine cellar in the cellar, his wine might be at the bottom of the altar before the end of July.
"It's really not dark?" Old Man Wu is now holding the wine jar with both hands, and his face is full of confusion.
The old man wanted to make his cellars more mellow, but he was afraid that Bian Rui would hack his wine, you must know that this wine is almost equivalent to a limited supply, and if the old man is allowed to buy it openly, he can buy half of the cellar of wine alone.
Old man Yan knew that his old friend really liked the wine of Bianjia Village, and he had never been so greedy for any wine he had drunk before, but now he was afraid that people would be black even if he put the wine in the cellar, which was obviously very much in love with this kind of wine, and in the words of his young man now, it was true love.
"Can Bian Rui still hack your wine? Isn't your old thing a bad brain?" said Old Man Yan with a smile.
Old Man Wu pondered for a while, but he was still a little uneasy: "This kid has too many guests, maybe someone will bring two jars, what if someone brings my wine?"
"Is it okay to make a mark for you?" Bian Rui replied.
"What do you say if you lose it?"
"I'll pay you for it, right?" Bian Rui said: "You old man, you don't feel sorry for hiding two boxes of old cellar wine in the cellar, you feel sorry for our own wine brewed in a small mountain village."
"I like this thing and it has nothing to do with money, otherwise, I will give you both boxes of cellar wine, and you give me half of the old wine in your cellar, no!
How could Bian Rui agree, he could brew this wine, but it was too complicated to brew this thing, and Bian Rui didn't love it to this extent like Wu Guanglong, so it was impossible for Bian Rui to brew it himself.
can't brew it by himself, this wine Bian Rui has to buy it from the fourth grandfather's house twice a year, although it is more than a dozen jars each time, it is enough to recruit friends on the street. Of course, this friend can't come to have a meal from time to time like Old Man Wu, there are many friends like him, and it is not enough to open a winery at home.
"Don't talk about it, stop talking about it, hurry up and pour the wine, what are you waiting for?" Old Man Yan patted the table.
Old man Wu Guanglong began to pour wine, and the wine in the wine jar was now only two-thirds of the original.
The old man poured it so carefully that even if it was the remnants of wine at the mouth of the altar, he had to shake it off and shake it into his wine dispenser, and then when he saw that his wine dispenser was about to overflow, he stretched out his head and put his mouth up and took a sip along the side.
Bian Rui and Old Man Yan were both surprised, and after filling the cup in front of him, they raised their glasses and drank a cup, and picked up chopsticks to eat at the bottom of the cup.
"Xiaobian, are you interested in participating in the art exhibition?" said Old Man Yan.
"Me?" Bian Rui smiled when he heard this: "I am all here, not my own things, which art exhibition do I participate in!"
The old man Wu Guanglong sucked up the wine in the cup like a whale, and then hissed two breaths, and after returning to the wine, he first filled himself with a glass and said: "You two guys are also a perfect match, one copy is a pen walking dragon and snake, and his own painting is a ghost crying wolf howl, a frame is a good place, but there is no aura at all when drawn, and the craftsmanship is too heavy to change, you say that if you combine it, maybe you can become a big family."
"What's the point of being at home, we're all so old, and we still care about this thing?" said Old Man Yan.
"Fake!" said the old man Wu Guanglong: "You don't want to paint history to leave a name?"
"How can I not want to, but if I think about it, I still have to like this thing first...... old man Yan said.
Bian Rui didn't say a word, pricked up his ears to listen to the two old men arguing, generally speaking, young people are easy to argue, but these two old men are both good men, and they have to find something to argue about after a while, especially when drinking, Bian Rui is used to it, so he watches while drinking wine, and from time to time he does a referee or something, and plays fifty boards each.
The two old men drank high, and half of the dishes on the table also entered the stomachs of the three people.
Bian Rui clapped his hands, spit out the duck eggshell in his mouth, and reached out to push the two old men.
One snored like thunder, the other was hmmmm
Anyway, this is not the first time, Bian Rui is skilled, and when the two old men get drunk, one of them went out of the door, put it on the tricycle, and added the other one, and put the two old bars side by side into the tricycle body, and Bian Rui rode in the direction of the Banpo courtyard.
It was now past twelve o'clock, and the whole village was quiet, and even the barking of dogs could not be heard, and when Bian Rui rode his tricycle down the path, he could only hear the squeaky of insects and the croaking of frogs.
When he arrived at the Banpo courtyard, Bian Rui's clothes were already soaked, don't underestimate this undulating mountain road, the two old drunkards behind him are really heavy.
"Teacher Wu, Teacher Wu, have you slept?" Bian Rui patted the door of Old Man Wu's house first.
Teacher Wu in the house slept lightly, and when he heard Bian Rui's call to the door, he immediately put on his clothes and walked out.
"Is it Xiaobian?"
"It's me, Uncle Wu is drinking high again," Bian Rui said.
"This damn old man!" Mr. Wu whispered as his wife opened the door to Bian Rui.
When Bian Rui helped Old Man Wu into the house and sent him to bed, Teacher Wu said, "Why did you go there again?"
"I want to drink," Bian Rui said.
"This old thing, eh!" Mr. Wu didn't know what to say.
Some people are going to blame Bian Rui, but Teacher Wu knows that Bian Rui can't pull it at all, let alone Bian Rui, she can't pull it even if she is present, fortunately, all the old people in this wine side village drink it, and some of them have to drink two or three taels every day, and no one has found any problems so far, so Teacher Wu can endure the old man getting drunk for a month.
"You take care of it, I'll send Uncle Yan back," Bian Rui said.
Seeing that Mr. Wu waved his hand, Bian Rui trotted out of the yard and pushed the cart to the innermost courtyard.
After tapping on the door, Yan Lan's mother, Aunt Yu, walked out, and Yan Lan came out at the same time.
"Didn't you say that you went to catch lobsters, why did you drink them again?" Aunt Yu said.
Bian Rui saw that the old lady's tone was a little reproachful, so he had to laugh dryly and said, "It's a little anxious to argue with Uncle Wu."
"These two old things!" Aunt Yu didn't know what to say.
Yan Lan was dissatisfied with it, which was completely on her face: "You can't persuade it?"
"I really want to persuade me, but which of these two I can persuade to live, the old one is in a hurry to start fighting wine, and the two of them are not massive, the two wine dispensers have not been drunk, and that's it, I have already sent it back, Old Man Wu" Bian Rui said.
Yan Lan said: "Take a hand and send my dad to bed."
Bian Rui listened to Old Man Yan and easily put him on the bed and lay down.
When he got out of the yard, Bian Rui arrived at the door, and Yan Lan chased him out and stopped Bian Rui.
"What's the matter?"
"Call me next time you drink, every time you drink them, you will get drunk, and I will control some of them when the time comes," Yan Lan said.
Bian Rui looked at Yan Lan: "Okay, then I'll call you next time! Go back to sleep, I'll go back too."
