Chapter 41 Curfew

"Uncle,"

"Huh?"

"Master," Hu Shijiu looked at the dilapidated thatched hut, who would have thought that there was a wine cellar hidden inside!

"Is the wine of the Drunkard House made from here?"

"Yes and no." The old man sat on the ground, motioned for Hu Shijiu to sit beside him, and said slowly-

"Nineteen, since ancient times, people who make wine must know three wines and six musts."

"Third uncle, sixth aunt?" Hu Shijiu was dumbfounded, she scratched her head, and she didn't know how sacred these two were.

The old man laughed: "Three wines, that is, the wine, the wine, and the sake." ”

Hu Shijiu nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Liubi," the old man continued, Hu Shijiu's attentive listening made him seem to see the scene of this child finally being able to take charge in a few years.

He was full of longing and taught Hu Shijiu: "The moon of midwinter is the order of the big chief, the rice must be together, the koji must be timely, the Zhan Chi must be clean, the water spring must be fragrant, the pottery must be good, the fire must be obtained, and the six things are used, and the big chief will be imprisoned, and there will be no bad loan." ”

Hu Shijiu only felt that his brain was stuffed with paste, and when he moved, he sank.

"This rice must be made from the Shuoshui area in the north, and the wine is fragrant...... the old man said with great interest, only to see that Hu Shijiu was already stunned.

Ball? Which big ball? Shuoshui, where?

For the first time, Hu Shijiu felt that his intelligence was worried.

"There's no rush, you just have to remember. I'll explain it to you slowly in the future. The old man looked at Hu Shijiu's furrowed brows, and couldn't help but sigh.

It was because she was too anxious, this child had been tired for so many days, and she had been in the cellar for another day, and at the end, in order to test her, let her lead the way in the labyrinthine tunnel. If you talk like this at this time, don't scare her away all at once.

The old man shook his head with a smile and sighed lightly, it seems that he is really not a qualified master. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the old man swept the leaves from his body and slowly stood up from the ground.

Hu Shijiu also hurriedly stood up.

"Gollum—"

There seems to be a frog barking.

"Gollum-" It's only been March, and the frogs are coming out to look for food?

Hu Shijiu couldn't help but look left and right, but saw the old man looking at him with a smile.

"Master......"

"Goo-" The frog croaked again! But this time there seemed to be something different, Hu Shijiu touched his stomach, as if in response to her, his deflated stomach began to protest again and again!

"Oops!" Hu Shijiu's face turned red as soon as he "soared".

Yes, I haven't eaten since morning.

Today's adventure has made her forget about hunger, and the master has brought her a new and dizzying world.

However, this body is not very aggressive.

The old man laughed and patted Hu Nineteen's head: "It's all to blame on the master, Nineteen is hungry, follow me back to the Drunkard Building." The chef will cook you a few good dishes! ”

Hu Shijiu just wanted to excuse herself, but she really didn't have any dishes that she could handle, and her little ability could only fool Shen Ling, who was not a picky eater at all, and deal with her hungry stomach. Even the confusion at home, Hu Shijiu saw him secretly shaking his head while holding his neck while eating the dishes he cooked......

It is deserved, but it is disrespectful.

Hu Nineteen was in a dilemma.

"It's not like Little Nineteen." The old man said with a smile, pushed open the courtyard door and walked out.

Hu Shijiu stood in place and thought about it, as if he had made up his mind, "Thank you, master!" The little figure also ran out with the bouncing up.

When the sunset gradually sank in the west, the flowers, grasses, insects and birds were shrouded in twilight, and Hu Shijiu, who was walking on the street, still did not recover from the excitement of being accepted as an apprentice by the old man. She had completely forgotten about the curfew, and only pestered the old man to ask questions along the way.

The old man replied patiently with a smile, like the moonlight of water, stretching the figures of the two of them very long. From a distance, it looks like a pair of the most ordinary grandparents.

"Stop!" Someone behind him shouted.

"Who are you? Where do you live? The guard in cyan armor stepped forward and interrogated.

Oops, actually forgot about the curfew! Hu Shijiu remembered that he had almost passed through half of Langjing before he arrived at the secret wine cellar.

At this time, not to mention that he wants to return to the small courtyard where he lives, it is estimated that it is impossible to even go to the drunkard building to taste the master's craftsmanship!

Chen Guo's law, wandering outside at night for no reason, can be imprisoned!

The old man blocked Hu Shijiu behind him: "Don't scare the child. ”

Hu Shijiu was annoyed in his heart, blaming himself, he actually forgot to remind the master of the curfew!

The master is old and frail, how can he experience the disaster of prison!

Thinking of this, she stood up from behind the old man, and was about to take all the fault on herself, but found that the old man was talking and handed the guard a token.

The guard reached out and took the token, and as soon as he glanced at it, he was stunned. He immediately took the token again, walked quickly to a short distance, and presented the token in his hand to the commander standing at the head of the team.

The man who looked like the leader of the guards heard a few whispers from the guards, looked up in the direction of the old man, and then carefully examined the token in his hand.

"Quick!" Behind him came to the leader of the guards with torches.

He flipped the token over and over again by the light of the fire.

Hu Shijiu couldn't help but be nervous and curious, and looked up at the master. The old man stood with his hands crossed, his expression as calm and indifferent as before.

After a while, the other party seemed to be sure.

With a wave of his left hand, the guard with the torch followed him to the old man.

"Dare I ask who this token is?" He asked knowingly, but he didn't seem to believe it.

"It's old."

"Dare to ask my husband, where did this token come from?" His attitude became more respectful and suspicious.

"The old man's surname is Xu." The old man just said this lightly, and Hu Shijiu saw that the other party was shocked, and immediately presented the token handed out by the old man with both hands.

"Xia Guan has eyes and doesn't know Taishan!" The head of the guard wanted to explain something, but the old man who listened said, "It's okay. Dare to ask sir, can we go? ”

"Yes, yes!" The leader of the guards nodded hurriedly and made a gesture of "please", eager to send the old man away in person.

"Nineteen," the old man called in a low voice.

Only then did Hu 19 come back to his senses, lowered his head and followed the old man away.

She took a few steps, and then couldn't help but look back, just in time to meet the gaze of the leader of the guards. The other party immediately lowered his head again as if he was afraid of being seen by her.

"Master?"

"Got it, don't say more." The old man's voice was solemn.

Hu Shijiu immediately bowed his head and remained silent.

In the sky above Langjing City, the cold stars are shining, and the black canopy is like a boundless net inlaid with broken silver, enveloping this imperial city impenetrable......
