The shopkeeper laughed and said: "I was about to say it, there are really a lot, first of all, our Dunhuang slots, also called flying slots, are a little expensive."

He was about to turn around in a hurry, Xiao Fei suddenly remembered something, and said in a dazen voice: "By the way, shopkeeper, you forgot to recommend the good wine here to us, how can this meat not be accompanied by good wine, and we have been gone for several days, a little tired, drink some good wine, it is easy to relieve fatigue." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his head with melon seeds, looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and said with a smile embarrassedly: "Today is very busy, just talked about it for a long time, look at my memory, I have forgotten to drink such a big thing, when it comes to wine, it should be the Dunhuang jade liquor we have here, it is very mellow, the aftertaste is endless, the wine is fragrant, see that the two are bold Jianghu knights, I will immediately take a jar of wine, you wait-"
