Chapter 68: The Donkey Inn
A young girl with dark brown skin appeared in the doorway.
With a smile on her face, her smile is bright, and she has a pair of bright, clear, blue eyes.
She was not tall, wearing a brocade robe with long sleeves and a golden flower crown. There are many small braids draped behind the head, and the head is decorated with a variety of pearl shells. Two ear hangs are silver earrings the size of an egg.
It is filled with a healthy, natural and youthful atmosphere.
Yi Xiaonian's eyes lit up all of a sudden, this dress, this appearance has never been seen before.
Then a warm heat was felt blowing from behind the woman, and then there was a sound of cups being pushed and changed from inside the house.
The girl opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother Tashi, Sister Dolma!"
Then put his right hand on his heart, put his palm together, bowed deeply, and stepped aside.
Yi Xiaonian came back to his senses at this time, took Senior Sister Bai Luo's arm, followed behind the side, and walked in.
There are no chairs, stools, or high tables in the room, and the people in it sit in a circle on the floor, with a square cushion in the middle, full of wine and food.
The room was almost full, and there was a large fire pit in the middle, on which water and wine were hot, and the flue led to the outside, and there were several bronze charcoal braziers in the corner, which was very warm.
The room full of dark-brown skinned men and women were drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, and it was very lively.
It's not like an inn, it's like a tavern.
Most of the people here wear wide and warm fur clothes, long sleeves and long skirts, and a corseted waist, and some even have an arm protruding from the clothes, and boots on their feet.
Others wore fox fur hats, mink coats, and long knives at their waists, like samurai.
Such a lively place, how can there be no master and me, Yi Xiaonian took Senior Sister Bai Luo's arm and walked inside, and chose a corner with a brazier on the side to sit cross-legged.
The little black on his shoulder forgot to take it from the time he set off, and there were no elves here, and when they passed by, they would put their hands together and nod their heads to show welcome. I don't care about the fairy, demon elves.
The girl who opened the door just now also greeted her, sitting on the side, the girl hadn't opened her mouth yet, Yi Xiaonian seemed to be particularly interested in her, and asked her what her name was, why this inn is called a donkey driver, is there a lot of donkeys here, and asked her if she is the boss here.
Faced with a series of questions, the girl was not in a hurry, and answered them one by one, she said:
"My full name is Dawa Medo. Just call me Mido. Hee-hee.
The donkey man means the countryside, and it has nothing to do with the donkey, and the donkey inn refers to the inn where we are the countrymen.
I'm not the boss, I'm the boss's daughter. It's just a coming-of-age ceremony this year, you see-" Turning her head excitedly to show Yi Xiaonian that she was wearing a hair cover on the back of her head, which was decorated with a silver shield and coral. "It's called Marton. It must be worn at the age of fifteen. ”
Seeing that the little girl of the family has a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, but the age of sixteen in his hometown is not considered an adult.
Yi Xiaonian has always hoped that he can become an adult as soon as possible, so that he can do adult things, and he thinks that the biggest thing about adults is that no one cares about drinking.
There is a custom in Shuanghekou Village, no adult is allowed to drink, and no one sells it to you if you want to drink, and if you are caught secretly drinking, you will be sent to the government on the spot, and you will be fined, and you will be fined 100 shells at a time, which is equivalent to the total income of civilians for two or three years. So under the age of sixteen, I can't see anyone who dares to drink.
Yi Xiaonian looked envious. But follow the local customs, and I will be an adult today.
"Haha! good-looking, good-looking. Yi Xiaonian was full of praise for Meiduo's colorful clothes and decorations, and then asked: "Is it possible to drink when you are fifteen years old here?"
Mido smiled and nodded yes. Yi Xiaonian got a satisfactory answer, he was very happy, and immediately found a few shell coins to be rewarded, but Meiduo resolutely refused to accept it, saying that there was no such custom.
Senior Sister Bai Luo didn't speak at this time, and waited for Yi Xiaonian's arrangement.
Because the money is on Yi Xiaonian. After the embarrassment of Xinliu Ancient Town last time, Senior Sister Bai Luo suddenly became obedient when she encountered such a thing as eating, and she had no money in her pocket, so she just waited for the food to come up, and just waited to eat.
Secondly, the meals on the plateau are very simple, and there is nothing to order, just a few things, beef and mutton pasta, plus a few stir-fried vegetables.
Seeing that Yi Xiaonian's interest was so high, he didn't bother to speak.
Then Mido asked them if there was anything they could do to help, whether they were going to stay in the hotel, what to eat or what to drink. Very welcoming, the smile on his face never stopped.
Fortunately, before leaving, Shui Yao had the foresight to know that the two of them had no money in their hands, so she specially gave Yi Xiaonian a money bag and advised: "This money is not just for you to spend, the focus is to take care of Senior Sister Bai Luo." Snub sister, come back and get beaten!"
For Yi Xiaonian, he has money in his hands, and he is tough when he speaks.
Yi Xiaonian took out a large handful of shell coins, put them on the table, and waved his big hand:
"Two upper rooms, and then if there is anything delicious, just give it to the uncle. Then his eyes swept around the inn, and found that everyone else was drinking in a big bowl, like drinking honey, bowl after bowl, the woman was more bold, and directly took the wine jug to dry, although he had not drunk the wine, but he thought that the wine here must be different.
Since I finally came out for a trip, I have experienced all the food and drink, and today I am also an adult here, and when I come to such a cold place, I don't drink some wine to warm up, and I really don't know how to live, so I told Mido: "Bring us two more pots of that." Yi Xiaonian pointed to the wine jug on the table next door, he may have been constrained by the rules of his hometown for many years, and he was still a little afraid in his heart, and the word "wine" could not be spoken.
Meiduo immediately understood, asked Senior Sister Bai Luo if she wanted to look at the room upstairs, told Yi Xiaonian to wait here, and the food and drink would be delivered over in a while, and then only picked up a few shellfish coins on the mat, and took Senior Sister Bai Luo upstairs to look at the room.
Meiduo also asked Yi Xiaonian if he wanted to go up and see it together, and Yi Xiaonian said that he didn't need to look at it, and the senior sister would choose it, so she sat at the table and waited.
The women here drink a lot of wine.
There were already a few men who were silently drunk and unconscious, but the woman opposite was like a peach blossom, talking and laughing.
After a while, Senior Sister Bai Luo came downstairs and came back, and at this time, the wine and food also came up one after another.
Senior Sister Bai Luo picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the bowl in front of her, and then drank it all, three bowls in a row.
Seeing that the senior sister was so powerful, Yi Xiaonian was not to be outdone, and he also drank three bowls in a row. I found that this wine has a bit of rice astringency, and the whole is quite refreshing. Because of the first time I drank alcohol, I drank too violently, and my head was a little cloudy.
