Chapter 848: The Bai Family's Great Birthday
"Huh, it smells so good!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, Fang Yi only felt a burst of aroma, and the next moment he saw a woman in her thirties walking in with a tray on it, and there was a dish on the plate, and the aroma came from this dish. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Auntie, I'll just come!" Bai Chuxia stepped forward to take the tray, but was stopped by the woman, "In early summer, your uncle said that all the guests who arrive here are guests, you sit, and your aunt still has dishes to serve." ”
"Mom, I'll help you!" Wang Xiaojia was very sensible, and followed her mother out of the house, and the table in the front yard was about to be served at this time, and Xiaojia's mother was really too busy alone.
"Early summer, is this a stir-fried kidney flower?" Fang Yi took a closer look at the dish in front of him, and immediately distinguished, when he was in Jinling, Brother Man liked to use this dish for wine the most, so they would order it every time they went to the restaurant.
After being promoted to the innate level, Fang Yi's need for food was basically gone, because of the things he ate, Fang Yi still had to work hard to refine them, and the more he ate, the more difficult it was to refine, so Fang Yi only ate some fruits at best, and he hadn't eaten staple food for a long time.
This is not to say that Fang Yi will not be able to eat in the future, as long as he further breaks through the next realm of the innate nature, the true yuan in Fang Yi's body will be transformed into spiritual energy, and at that time, no matter what Fang Yi eats, he will be able to refine it easily, and he will not have the current troubles.
"It's a stir-fried kidney flower, this dish is not delicious when it is cold, Fang Yi, you can taste it." ”
Bai Chuxia handed Fang Yi a pair of chopsticks, although she didn't know what Fang Yi had done in the past half a year, Bai Chuxia could feel that the time when Fang Yi was missing was definitely not very good.
"Isn't this okay?" Fang Yi glanced outside the door and said, "The master hasn't come yet, let's eat now, it's a bit rude, right?"
To tell the truth, since he was promoted to the congenital level, Fang Yi still had an appetite when he saw food for the first time, this simple stir-fried kidney flower directly aroused the roundworms in Fang Yi's stomach, if it wasn't for the first time he was a little embarrassed, Fang Yi was afraid that he would have eaten it a long time ago.
"They're not coming. ”
Bai Chuxia said with a smile: "Auntie just said, let's count us as guests today, didn't you see Xiao Jia hiding out, they will definitely not serve it, Fang Yi, how about you hurry up and taste the taste of this dish?"
"Good!"
Hearing Bai Chuxia say this, Fang Yi was not polite anymore, he took chopsticks and put a waist flower in his mouth, and after chewing it lightly, Fang Yi nodded with a look of enjoyment, "The old man's craftsmanship is really worthy of his reputation, such a simple ingredient is so delicious, it's really amazing!"
Fang Yi used to eat in the mountains, because of the lack of seasonings, it was nothing more than steaming or barbecue, and the taste was relatively light, so he was not used to eating those dishes after going down the mountain, but the dish fried by Old Man Wang was a bit like his current cultivation, that is, he had already achieved the state of returning to the basics.
"If it's delicious, eat more, there are not many dishes today, four dishes and one soup, you two can finish eating, if you can't finish eating, it means that my old man's craftsmanship is not good." ”
As soon as Fang Yi's words fell, Old Man Wang and Xiao Jia walked into the house, Xiao Jia held two plates of dishes in the tray in his hand, and the old man held a bottle of wine wrapped in slightly yellowed paper in his hand.
"Old man, what I didn't say about the craftsmanship is that there are eight dishes, and I can eat them all by myself. Seeing the old man come in, Fang Yi hurriedly stood up, helped Xiao Jia put the dishes on the table, and said to Old Man Wang, "Old man, can you also sit down and eat?"
"I won't eat the dishes, but I'll have a drink with you about this wine. The old man smiled and waved his hand, took three white wine cups, and put one in front of Bai Chuxia, and said, "Bai girl, have a drink with your uncle today?"
"Uncle, it's not like you don't know, I don't drink. ”
Bai Chuxia hurriedly shook his head when he heard this, the Bai family's tutor is quite machismo, no one asks about boys smoking and drinking, but girls must not be contaminated, so if it is red wine, Bai Chuxia can still drink a little, but she does not drink liquor.
"If you don't drink this wine, your grandfather will definitely say that you don't know the goods. The old man laughed and said, "If you go home and tell the old man that you drank this wine, he must be envious, jealous and hateful, so you can drink two glasses with confidence." ”
"Old man, your bottle of Moutai is very particular. ”
Looking at the wine in Wang Lao's hand, Fang Yi pointed to the paper on it and said: "This is wrapped in fine cotton paper, this kind of cotton paper made of bamboo, hemp stalks, and skins is not visible now, your wine has a vintage." ”
Fang Yi followed Yu Xuan not in vain, the so-called miscellaneous items are all kinds of all-encompassing, this wine appreciation is also one of them, Fang Yi once heard Yu Xuan say that in the fifties and sixties, good wine was wrapped in tissue paper, and in the eighties, for aesthetic reasons, the outer layer of cotton paper was replaced with a cardboard box.
As for how Fang Yi saw that this was Moutai, it was even simpler, because the words Kweichow Moutai were clearly printed on the cotton paper, and although the packaging was different, the bottle of Moutai was not much different from the current one.
"Hey, you kid still know how to drink?" Old Man Wang looked at Fang Yi's gaze with a hint of surprise, "Then tell me, how old is this wine?"
"Old man, show me the wine. ”
Fang Yi stretched out his hand to ask for the bottle of wine, took it in his hand, first looked at the paper and the situation at the mouth of the wine bottle, then shook it in his hand, groaned for a while, and said: "Although this wine is well sealed, it has also volatilized a lot, it should be fifty years old, but it is not more than fifty-five years!"
"Good boy, there are you!" Hearing Fang Yi's words, the old man's eyes widened more and more, and he patted his thigh and said, "Yes, you know how to eat medicine and wine, what else do you know?"
"Old man, my old profession is actually to identify antiques. Fang Yi touched his nose, he knew a lot of things, but he didn't need to be so conspicuous in front of the old man.
"I don't know about antiques, but you're right about the vintage of this wine. ”
Old man Wang waved his hand and said: "This wine is produced in forty-nine years, but it is made of puree in a century-old cellar, because it is the National Day wine of that year, and now I am afraid that there are not even ten bottles in existence. ”
Due to his background, Mr. Wang's temperament is very out-of-the-box, even when he was young, he didn't have so much dogmatism, he worked as a cook in Jinan Mansion, and the whole family ate with red faces, and after arriving in the capital, even if it was the idea of natural disasters in those years, no one in the Wang family was hungry.
As for these bottles of wine, it is naturally obtained by the old man in a fake public economy, not only the National Day wine in 49 years, since he arrived at the State Guesthouse, he has kept the National Day wine in almost every year, and in the most inconspicuous room in this courtyard, almost all of them are all kinds of famous wines.
"Old man, this wine is too valuable, let's not drink it today. ”
Listening to the old man talk about the origin of the wine, Fang Yi was also taken aback, he once heard Mr. Yu say that last year there was a bottle of Moutai liquor that was five or five years old, and it was auctioned at a price of 120,000 yuan in the auction house, setting the highest price in the domestic liquor auction.
And the bottle of wine that Mr. Wang took out is not only older than that bottle in terms of vintage, but more importantly, there are certain historical and political factors in it, Fang Yi believes that if this bottle of wine is auctioned, the starting price will be at least more than 200,000 yuan.
"What is precious is not valuable, isn't wine just to drink? The old man waved his hand and said, "Today, I invited you to this wine, if you don't drink it, you won't give the old man face." ”
The old man took out this wine, which was actually a kind of compensation for Fang Yi, because when he saw the medicinal food recipe, he knew that this was indeed an ancient recipe, and the ingredients on it were ingeniously matched, even the old man Wang almost couldn't help but applaud, in the old man's heart, the value of this recipe was much more valuable than this bottle of wine.
"Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, since the old man said so, then let's drink it today." ”
Worldly wealth was nothing in Fang Yi's heart, with Fang Yi's character, not to mention that this bottle of wine was only worth hundreds of thousands, it was worth tens of millions, he definitely had the courage to drink it into his stomach, and he didn't blink his eyes.
"Cheerful, I'm getting more and more fond of you kid. ”
Seeing that Fang Yi didn't make that kind of twisting look, the old man's eyes couldn't help but show a look of appreciation, he took out this bottle of wine with two meanings, one was to study Fang Yi and see how his vision was, but needless to say, Fang Yi said the year of this wine in one bite.
And the second meaning of Old Man Wang was to see if Fang Yi would reveal the kind of young man's lack of confidence and panic when facing such a valuable object, but Fang Yi's straightforward atmosphere made the old man extremely satisfied.
"Here, open the bottle, pour the wine!"
The old man patted the table happily, and watched Fang Yi open the wine bottle, although there is a lot of wine at home, even the old man is reluctant to drink it, and only takes out a bottle of the most recent vintage when he celebrates the New Year every year.
"It's a good wine!"
When Fang Yiqi opened the cap, a rich and mellow aroma of wine suddenly entered his nose, the wine poured into the wine glass was not the same as what Fang Yi had drunk before, the color of this wine was yellowish, and it also looked a little viscous, when he lifted the bottle after pouring a glass, the wine was actually connected into a thin line.
"Come on, it's done!"
Old Man Wang couldn't wait to pick up the wine, drank it in his mouth, squinted his eyes and tasted it, and said: "This wine is really good for the vintage, when I drank this wine, it was far less mellow than now." ”
"It's delicious, not spicy at all. Bai Chuxia also drank the wine in front of her, and a trace of blush quickly appeared on her fair face, and the red flutter was very good-looking.
"I don't know what happened to the little devil?"
When Fang Yi drank this glass of wine, what he thought in his heart was different from the two around him, he thought of the little demon king in Myanmar, that little guy was a drunkard, and fortunately he didn't bring it back, otherwise these good wines of the Wang family would be ruined by it.
"Dad, what kind of wine are you prescribing, why is it so fragrant?" When he just drank the second glass, Wang Tianliang hurriedly walked into the house, carrying a few bags wrapped in oiled paper, and after entering the house and seeing the wine on the table, Wang Tianliang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"You're lucky, just in time, come here, have a drink. Seeing his son come back, the old man smiled and said, "Haven't you been thinking about that bottle for a long time?" ”
"Dad, this ...... This is your treasure, how can you be willing to open it?"
Hearing his father's words, Wang Tianliang was stunned for a moment, in order to store these wines, the old man specially bought a large safe, and put all the precious wine in it, and the safe didn't even have a key for him.
"The future uncle of the Bai family is here, of course I have to take something good out. The old man laughed, Fang Yi didn't mention the value of the medicinal diet recipe, and the old man wouldn't say that this wine was used to thank you, and the two of them just tacitly agreed.
"Well, that's too extravagant. ”
Wang Tianliang's lips squirmed a few times, and finally he didn't spit out the words, but Wang Tianliang still couldn't understand his father's actions, you know, the old man of the Bai family asked his father for this wine a few times, but his father never let go.
"What are you doing there? If you don't drink it, Xiao Fang and I will finish drinking. ”
"Drink, drink, I haven't drunk yet. Wang Tianliang hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
The old man knew what his son was thinking, and he didn't pay attention to Wang Tianliang, turned his face to look at Bai Chuxia, and said: "Bai girl, I still have two bottles of this wine, one of which you kept for your grandfather, and when he celebrates his 80th birthday in a few days, I will bring him this wine, but you are not allowed to tell him in advance." ”
"Uncle, I thank you in advance on behalf of my grandfather. Bai Chuxia smiled and picked up the wine glass in front of the old man and said, "Uncle, I toast you and wish you good health and a long life." ”
"You're just a likable. The old man laughed, his eyes were full of love, and he said to Fang Yi: "Xiao Fang, Chu Xia is a good boy, you have to treat her well, otherwise the old man won't be able to spare you." ”
"Don't worry, old man. Fang Yi nodded seriously, but his eyes were aimed at Bai Chuxia, he didn't know that the old man of the Bai family was about to celebrate his birthday.
"Okay, you two eat slowly, and I won't bother. After drinking three glasses of wine, the old man stood up, called his son and granddaughter out, and went to the front yard to greet the real guests.
"In early summer, you said that grandpa had a birthday, what should I send?" Fang Yi said seriously.
"I haven't told you to go yet. Bai Chuxia rolled his eyes at Fang Yi, frowned slightly, and said, "My parents don't know about your return, and my grandfather doesn't know either, so I haven't figured out how to tell them yet." ”
Bai Chuxia's parents know Fang Yi, because of the old man of the Wei family, Bai Chuxia's mother and father have some differences, Bai Chuxia's mother is willing to listen to the old man's words, but Bai's father is a little unhappy,
In the words of Bai Chuxia's father, Old Man Wei is just Bai Chuxia's grandfather, and he is his own father, his daughter's marriage must not be so hasty, and they must see it before they can nod.
The last time Bai Chuxia called Fang Yi to come to the capital, he wanted Fang Yi to meet his parents, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Yi actually went to Myanmar at that juncture, and then disappeared for more than half a year, and this matter was naturally over.
Bai Chuxia's parents also knew about Fang Yi's disappearance, they were all reasonable people, and they knew that their daughter must be very sad, so they didn't mention it, but now that Fang Yi suddenly appeared again, it is hard to guarantee that Bai Chuxia's parents will not remember Fang Yi's previous incident of releasing their pigeons.
"My grandfather and my dad are a bit old-fashioned literati, they are old-fashioned, they always think that men should have a proper career, and the last time my dad heard that you were in the antique business, he was not happy. ”
Bai Chuxia said the scruples in her heart, although she wanted to be with Fang Yi very much, but she didn't want to hurt the heart of her father, who had loved her since she was a child, especially because her grandfather was old, Bai Chuxia didn't want her grandfather to worry about herself.
"Hey, I said you have a little faith in me, okay?"
Seeing Bai Chuxia's sad face, Fang Yi couldn't help but be happy, gently patted Bai Chuxia's hand on the table, and said, "Don't worry, when I go to see them, I will definitely let them accept me." ”
"You promise?" Bai Chuxia looked at Fang Yi with some childishness.
"I promise Grandpa Mao. ”
Fang Yi raised his right hand, his interruption really made Bai Chuxia feel at ease, anyway, there is still his grandfather to support him, and his grandfather's support is equal to his mother's support, in their family relationship, the father is under the leadership of the mother.
