After walking for almost half an hour, Tang Qing'er was still young after all, and her pace slowed down after walking for a long time, Tang Tiezhu saw that her daughter was tired and sweaty trying to keep up with his pace, and he was very distressed, so he picked up his daughter and said: "Qing'er is tired, Daddy is hugging, and when you are not tired, you will come down and walk,"

Tang Qing'er was held in her father's arms, kicked her feet and said, "No, my father is also tired, let me come down and walk by myself, let's walk slowly, so that I won't be tired." ”

Tang Tiezhu laughed and said: "How many catties are you, back then, my father carried you to the town to sell things that were heavier than you, and he didn't walk like a fly,"

Tang Qing'er muttered in a low voice: "At that time, you were young and powerful, and now that you are old, what if you are tired, what if our family still points to you to live?" ”

Hearing these words in Tang Tiezhu's ears, he was not complaining but caring, Tang Tiezhu looked at his daughter lovingly, and walked towards the town with her in his arms.

When they arrived in the town, Tang Tiezhu took Tang Qing'er to the street where wine was sold, the people who bought the wine and the guys who pulled the wine and delivered the wine came and went, it looked very lively, the father and daughter did not go to the larger store, they were afraid that the second child of the store would dislike them, they went to a relatively simple shop at the end of the street, Tang Tiezhu took Tang Qing'er into it, and saw that there was no shop Xiaoer in the store, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone?" ”

At this time, a man in his thirties walked out and said with a smile: "I'm sorry guest officer, there are almost no customers who come to our shop to buy wine at this time, so my daughter-in-law and I are making wine in the back?" ”

Tang Tiezhu didn't care, looked at the several large jars of wine on the counter and said, "These wines are all brewed by your family,"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Yes, business is not good these days, you have also seen, my small shop is at the end of this street, usually some old customers patronize, this day is still going on, if you transport wine from other places to sell, not to mention the cost, it may not be sold,"

Tang Tiezhu said with emotion: "Yes, it's not easy, how can you sell this wine, big brother,"

The shopkeeper pointed to the wine on the counter and said, "That guest officer is buying more than a pound of wine," After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he saw Tang Tiezhu's face changing a little in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Hey, look at my mouth, it's this mouth that can't speak, so my business can't get better, I mean, if the guest officer wants to buy more wine, I'll focus on recommending a few to you,"

Tang Tiezhu's face only improved slightly when he heard this, and said, "Then you can introduce them to me!" "I came to this house to explore the price of wine, and if I couldn't do it, I went home with a pound of wine.

Tang Qing'er is also the first time to meet such a person who can't speak, no wonder there are few customers in his store, guessing that it is because he can't speak and often offends customers.

The shopkeeper saw that Tang Tiezhu was not angry and wanted to buy, and the smile on his face became more and more, and said: "My wine here is divided into upper, middle and lower three grades, the high-grade wine has daughter red, Jinjiang Chun, Zhuyeqing, etc., the medium wine has chrysanthemum wine, pear blossom wine, Wujiapi wine, etc., and the inferior wine has white wine, rice wine, rice wine, etc., the upper, middle and lower grades are different, and the price is different. Like Daughter Red and Huadiao, they have been brewed for more than ten years, and they cost forty yuan per catty,"

Tang Qing'er listened attentively on the side, and couldn't help asking: "Is it expensive to sell because my daughter's red has been brewed for a long time?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "No, there is an allusion to this daughter Hong, legend has it that once upon a time, there was a tailor who wanted a son after taking a lady." One day, it was discovered that his lady was pregnant. He was so overjoyed that he hurried home in high spirits, brewed a few jars of wine, and prepared to entertain his friends and relatives when he had a child. Unexpectedly, his wife gave birth to a daughter. He was so angry that he buried a few jars of wine under the osmanthus tree in the backyard. ”

The shopkeeper saw that the two in front of him were engrossed in listening to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Time is like an arrow, my daughter has grown up, she is born smart and clever, and she has learned the tailor's craft very well, and she has also learned to embroider well, and the business of the tailor shop has become more and more prosperous. When the tailor saw it, it wouldn't be nice to have a daughter! So he decided to marry her to his most proud apprentice, and happily married his daughter. On the day of marriage, the tailor drank very happily, suddenly remembered a few jars of wine buried under the osmanthus tree more than ten years ago, and dug it out to entertain guests, as a result, as soon as the wine jar was opened, the aroma was tangy, the color was strong and the taste was mellow, and it was extremely delicious. Therefore, everyone called this wine "daughter red" wine, also known as "daughter wine". After that, when the next-door neighbors, people from near and far, gave birth to daughters, they made wine and buried it, and when they married their daughters, they dug up wine and invited guests, forming a custom. ”

After hearing this, Tang Qing'er smiled and said to her father: "Dad, I think it's because of this story that this daughter is so expensive,"

The shopkeeper said with a look of unteachableness: "It's really a child's family, where do you know this, this daughter's red wine itself is also delicious, it is a kind of sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, fresh, astringent six flavors in one of the liquor, due to the long brewing time, good sealing, thus forming a clear, fragrant, mellow, soft, cotton, cool comprehensive style." This wine has an amber color, that is, orange color, transparent and clear, pure and lovely, which is pleasing to the eye. The nose is enticing and aromatic, and it tends to become more intense over time, giving it a mellow and sweet drink with an endless aftertaste. ”

Tang Qing'er was so hungry that he said that the worms were about to come out, and said crisply: "It's really so delicious, so can we brew it ourselves?" ”

The shopkeeper was amused by her appearance, patted her on the head and said, "If it's really so good, then why do you want us to sell wine?"

At this time, a woman came out of it, about twenty years old, dressed as a woman, with a delicate appearance, saw Tang Tiezhu and Tang Qing'er smiled and said: "Guest officer, don't listen to my father-in-law's nonsense, he likes to talk to people about winemaking or stories about winemaking, and it won't end as soon as he talks about it, no, I make wine in the backyard, seeing that he hasn't come back for so long, I guess he must be here to tell people the story of winemaking,"

Tang Qing'er was amused, this person's lady is really interesting, how can she bury her husband when she comes in, seeing that her husband is still smiling at her, there is a flattering meaning in her smile, guessing that something like this must always happen.

Tang Tiezhu saw the shopkeeper come out, got up and said, "No, no, I learned a lot from the shop,"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Please take a seat, I'm the master of the house and it's endless when I talk about wine, guest officer, you see what kind of wine you want to buy, if you are optimistic that I will let the master install it for you, if you don't look good, there is nothing, come over next time,"

Tang Tiezhu didn't plan to buy it, seeing that the store couple were enthusiastic people, he couldn't bear to save their face and said: "Bring me a pound of chrysanthemum bar, I'll go home and drink to see how it goes, if it's delicious, I will come often in the future,"

The shopkeeper touched her husband with her elbow, and the shopkeeper immediately reacted and took the wine bag to serve the wine, and the shopkeeper said, "Give the guest an extra half a catty,"

Tang Tiezhu hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, one pound is enough,"

The shopkeeper waved her hand happily and said: "It's okay, let's tell you the truth, you are still the first person to buy wine after listening to my father-in-law finish telling the story of wine-making, some people used to wait for my father-in-law to say anything, they thought that my father-in-law was ink, and turned around and went to other houses to buy wine, and then it was not the person who came to listen to the story and did not buy wine, so I must give you half a catty more,"

Tang Tiezhu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "The shopkeeper is a real person, and you are a blessed person,"

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Well, I think so too, isn't it just to find a real person to live in this life,"

After the store took a pound and a half of wine and handed it to Tang Tiezhu, after Tang Tiezhu gave the wine money, he said thank you, and Tang Qing'er also followed her father on the side and said, "Thank you, uncle and aunt, we will come to buy wine next time." ”

Roughly knowing the price of each type of wine, Tang Tiezhu was about to take Tang Qing'er home, Tang Qing'er saw that her plan had not yet been implemented and she was going home, so she couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Daddy, we finished breakfast very early in the morning, it's noon, I'm too hungry to walk, otherwise let's go eat a bowl of noodles!" ”

Tang Tiezhu looked very hungry when he saw his daughter, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, then we'll go home after eating noodles,"

Tang Qing'er said again: "Daddy, you see that we are in a restaurant, I haven't been to a restaurant since I was so old, you take me there, let's eat noodles, don't you order anything else?" ”

Seeing his daughter looking at him with pitiful eyes, Tang Tiezhu was so soft-hearted, thinking that his mother-in-law gave her half a tael of silver in the morning, he said ruthlessly: "Okay, dad will take you to eat," even if the mother-in-law came home and said him, he also recognized it, the girl easily didn't open her mouth to ask for something, this time she wanted to eat noodles, and she had to satisfy her daughter for anything.

Tang Qing'er looked at his father's painful look, and thought with a snicker: I must be afraid that I would be told by her mother when I went home at night, but she said: "Dad, don't worry, we won't eat this noodles in vain,"

Tang Tiezhu thought that his daughter would say such a thing because she was hungry, and said in a more firm tone: "Let's go, let's go eat noodles," and said that he took Tang Qing'er to the opposite Xiqing Building.

The shopkeeper, who was greeting guests back and forth in the lobby, saw Tang Tiezhu's father and daughter and hurriedly trotted over and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" ”

Tang Tiezhu was also the first time to come to such a place, and said a little nervously: "Come to two bowls of noodles,"

At first glance, the shopkeeper knew that these two were not people who often went to the restaurant, and repeated again: "Then do you two want meat noodles or somen noodles, a bowl of meat noodles costs ten cents, and a bowl of somen noodles costs five cents,"

Tang Tiezhu thought about the rare time to come to the restaurant, the tunnel: "Come to a bowl of meat noodles, a bowl of somen noodles," the meat is for the girl to eat, and he can eat some somen noodles.

The shopkeeper shouted, "Okay, there's a bowl of meat and vegetarian noodles downstairs," and as he spoke, he welcomed them to an empty table, gave them two cups of tea, and turned around to greet others again.

Tang Tiezhu took his daughter to make a stool and drank tea while waiting, Tang Qing'er looked around the restaurant, and saw all kinds of people, also waiting for the opportunity to sell her own jujube wine, but seeing that the people who ate were all passing businessmen, it was really not suitable for selling jujube wine, so she sat on the stool and waited, she was a little anxious.
