It was close to seven o'clock, Rollo was on stage to debug the equipment, Lychee and his boyfriend also rushed over to change into work clothes, and we were busy preparing to welcome tonight's guests. The pendulum of the retro clock kept shaking, the bell rang on time at seven o'clock, and before the bell fell, an old man walked in tremblingly outside the door, that is, Mr. Peng Zhu, I hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and asked with a smile: "Old man, you are here, come and sit here." He was holding one hand by me, nodded to me and said, "Come, come, say it's seven o'clock, it's seven o'clock." I smiled and replied, "Hi, sir, so punctual." After I helped him sit down, he said directly: "Give it to me, two taels of bamboo leaves and half a catty of sauced beef." I replied embarrassedly, "Sir, we don't have bamboo leaves here." He nodded and said, "What about the bamboo juice?" I shook my head and said, "I'm sorry, old man, but we don't have any of them." He slapped the table: "Hey, I said that you don't have this or that, and what kind of tavern do you open, I'll let you unveil your signboard tomorrow." I pointed to the wine cabinet and said, "Sir, look here, we have a lot of foreign wine here, and there are also a lot of domestic wines, do you want to try this?" He slapped the table angrily: "Hmph! Does his foreign devil's wine have the aroma of our ancestors' wine, it's horse urine, how can you give it anything, it's all those yellow-haired dogs to drink!" Lin walked behind me and poked me, I put my hand behind me and shook it, and gave him an embarrassed look.

I took the wine list and introduced it to Mr. Peng Zhu: "Sir, then you see, which of our domestic wines do you like, I will bring it to you." He flipped through the wine list, almost buried his entire thin head in the wine list, he didn't look at some emerging brands at all, his eyes kept turning on a few Erguotou and Fenjiu, turned to the last page and smashed the menu to the ground, and stood up angrily: "You guys also deserve to be called a tavern? This doesn't fool people, close the door as soon as possible!" I saw him stand up and hurriedly hold on, I felt his body trembling a little, it may be that he is naturally old, or it may be angry.

I helped him and said with a smile: "Old man, the wine you wanted, now you basically can't find it, the current wine shop, the burning house is no longer done, they are all big wineries, no one makes a pot, if you want to drink, come back tomorrow, I will give you some amends?" He looked at me with some suspicion: "Hey, you young man, don't trick me old man, you said it yourself, these wines have no to sell, where do you go to get them for me?" I patted him on the back:" I have my own way of this, why don't you taste our wine first?" he waved his hand and said, "You can give me a letter when I can drink." I cocked up a finger: "A week, a week I promise you to see your wine." I helped him trembling and turned around and walked towards the door, and he also held up a finger and said to me, "Okay, a week, I'll come back in seven days, or not, huh, wait for me to unveil your sign!"

After he left, I walked to the bar and sighed, and was about to drink water, when the landlord and Lin came up, and Lin asked: "This old man is obviously here to smash the field, and you promised him a week, and what will happen if he doesn't see you after a week." I shook my hand and pointed at the landlord, who looked at the door with bright eyes and said, "Hey, this, this, old-timer, old-timer." Lin looked at the two of us with some doubts, I took a sip of water and said: "The wine he wants, like the 'bamboo leaf green' and 'bamboo silk juice' he said, you may not have heard of it, but you should have heard of old wine like 'stuffy donkey' and 'Lao Baigan'." Lin nodded, and the landlord also said: "Hey, you don't even know this, it's all drunk by my grandfather's group, come and guess how old the old-timers are this year." I gestured with my hand to eight, and the landlord looked at me in surprise: "Hey, it's only eighty? After saying that, he put up another finger and said, "I said, add another one." Lin was even more surprised and said, "Damn, ninety, ninety years old and still so alive?" I shook my head: "You can listen to him." The landlord poked me again: "Hey, don't believe it, just like my grandfather, he drank this when he was carrying a gun to fight devils, and then my dad drank it secretly when he was a child, don't talk about this, how do you get this, where are you going to get this for him." I smiled and shook my head, "You just wait." ”

The next day, I took Luo Luo to a small workshop, this small workshop was when I was young, my family liked to buy some four-flower wine to make some fruit wine to bring me to buy, I also asked why not use three-flower or double-wine, they said that alcohol will volatilize, so use more strong four-flower, at least when I was a child, I didn't know right, but that was also my first enlightenment point for wine culture.

We came to the small workshop, a couple in their fifties was running it, I asked them: "Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, I am Xiao Lizi, my parents often come to you to buy wine, I don't know if you still remember me?" The two looked at each other and thought for a while, and then pointed at me excitedly, "You are the ...... That Sister Qiu's son, when you came here before, it was still so big, but now it's so big, ouch, this is your girlfriend, it's so beautiful, eh, last time Sister Qiu came to buy wine, she said you went to Beijing, you are back, what is the matter with you today?" I replied to them with a smile: "Aunt Wu, that's the case, I opened a bar, I want to eat some soju, I don't know if you have it." Uncle Wu pointed to the wine vat behind him and said, "This, double wine, three flowers, four flowers, Lao Baigan, all of them, tell me what you want, and I will send it to you." I shook my head and said, "I want 100-year-old wine, bamboo leaf green, bamboo silk juice, and old white dry, all of which cost five catties each, and each of them must be packed in a jar of one catty." Uncle Wu was a little embarrassed when he heard it and said: "It's not difficult for this old man to do it, we have ready-made ones, and it's not difficult for this hundred-year-old wine, although we don't have it, it's convenient to do, as for the bamboo leaf green you said, I heard the old man say, I'll ask you when I go back, we really don't know about the bamboo juice." I nodded and said, "Trouble." Aunt Wu asked again, "I don't know how much you want?" I looked at them with a smile and replied: "I want so much first, I will look at the sales first, and then I will book with you every month or when the store is out of stock." Rollo poked me in the back and hid behind me and whispered, "You're crazy, what if you can't sell this wine that I've never heard of." I didn't answer her, and asked Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, "When will you be ready for these?" Uncle Wu smiled: "Oh, this is easy, but the formula and raw materials are difficult, I will prepare it for you when I go back, I will send it to you, we will add a contact information, you just tell me an address." ”

Soon it was the sixth day, and there were no twenty-four hours left before the seventh day, Uncle Wu sent me all three kinds of wine except bamboo silk juice, Uncle Wu said that the bamboo silk juice was made by pouring wine into it, and they couldn't find a suitable one, so I was naturally no longer embarrassed. Mr. Peng Zhu also arrived at the bar on time at seven o'clock on the seventh day, and by this time I had already boiled a pot of warm water and warmed the bamboo leaves for half an hour with a small copper wine jug of two taels. As soon as he sat down, I walked up to him with a plate of sliced beef and wine in sauce, and for this purpose, I went to the teahouse to mix a particularly delicate small cup.

I poured him a glass, and his toothless mouth opened slightly, and he drank it in one gulp, and after drinking, he smacked his lips and said to me with a smile: "Hey, you kid can, I like it." I smiled and said, "Sir, then you drink, I'll be busy first." He waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

I went back to the bar and asked, "You're drinking so much for him." I looked at him with some contempt: "Who said that I am alone for him, have you tried this way of drinking? ”

At nine o'clock in the evening, Mr. Peng Zhu finished drinking wine and eating beef, stood up and walked to the bar, pointed to the newly placed jar on the wine cabinet and asked: "Boy, your wine is good, I want a jar, you save it for me, every day, or this point, two taels give me warmth, and half a catty of beef." After speaking, he staggered towards the door, and Lychee hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Old man, you haven't settled the bill yet." Mr. Peng Zhu smiled: "Ha, you look at my brain, people are old and useless." After speaking, he took out a piece of jade pendant from the cuffs of the long robe, and under the jade pendant with some blood and earth color, the tassel and the jade pendant were extremely similar in color. Lychee was a little embarrassed, naturally he didn't encounter this situation, and Mr. Peng Zhu smiled: "Call your boss." I hurriedly walked out of the bar, he saw me and beckoned to me, I walked up to him, he took the jade pendant in front of me with his hand: "This, how much can I drink from you." "I took the jade pendant and looked at it, a lock pattern, and two words were embroidered on the tassel knot below: Peng Zhu. After I saw those two words, Zhang Xian's "Fengqiwu Xiaoshi Tune" blurted out from my mouth:

The secret feast is tired of the twilight of the pond pavilion. Tianhan Shen Shen, borrowing spring light to live. Red emerald bucket is a long-sleeved dance. Sandalwood has been photographed.

I don't know if it's going to be spent tomorrow. Tonight is round toad, and the night after is stormy. It's a pity that Geyun is easy to go. Dongcheng Yangliu Dongcheng Road.

He patted me on the shoulder: "Kid is good, you can change the tassel, can you tell me how much this jade pendant can drink with you." I handed the jade pendant back with both hands and said: "Mr. Pengzhuo, this can't be helped, your jade pendant can't be used even if I drink wine for a lifetime, and this jade pendant is your beloved thing, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor, although the younger generation is not a gentleman, but this thing can't be done." He pushed my hand back again: "I drank your wine, you took my money, this is called business, anyway, I don't have any money, just this piece of jade pendant, I will come to you to drink in the future, you don't charge me money." After speaking, he turned his head to leave, and shook his hand as he walked, saying, "You have to settle the bill for drinking, this is the rule, and I will come tomorrow." ”
