Chapter 12: The Jumping Pig
The old gentleman smiled slightly, and calmly instructed Dr. Wine to pour each jar of wine into an empty bowl, and then into the small wine glass that had been prepared, so that if there was a problem with the empty bowl, it would also be brought to the wine glass. The old gentleman leisurely and leisurely in the eyes of everyone's expectation, picked up the wine glass one by one, shook the wine glass slightly, looked at the clear water that was different from the usual mash wine, the doubt in his eyes flashed, and then he put the wine glass close to his nose and smelled it, and the rich aroma of wine came to his nose, and even a little choking, making him inadvertently widen his eyes.
Is there such a strong wine in the world? He looked at Zhen Feng suspiciously, then turned his head and drank the wine from the wine glass into his mouth, he didn't swallow it, but held it in his mouth. In the rich stimulation, he felt the crisp wine first glide over the tip of his tongue, then to the sides, and then into the base of the tongue, he puffed out his tongue and rolled it, spreading the wine to the whole of his tongue, experiencing the different tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and salty in the wine, and finally he pressed his tongue against the front of his chin, so that the wine naturally flowed down his nostrils and filled his nose with the breath.
After a slow glass, he forgot himself, and didn't care about the nearly 100 pairs of eyes staring at him in front of him, and picked up another cup, a cup, and kept tasting and reminiscing, and he didn't let go of a cup. Ten cups later, he was still unsatisfied, and he closed his eyes and savored it.
"Sir, sir, is this wine adulterated?"
Finally, the old gentleman who was already full of red light was awakened by the sound of the crowd, he didn't say anything to the crowd, but asked Zhen Feng suspiciously and excitedly, "Boy, what kind of wine is this?" ”
"Old man, the name of this wine is called 'drunk life and dream death', which means that people understand life and death, love and profit, reality and dreams in wine. Those who participate in enlightenment become immortals in wine beyond it, and those who are addicted become prisoners of wine when they fall into it. ”
Every action and expression of the old gentleman is seen by everyone, and many people can read it, which is the enjoyment of drinking to the extreme, and there is an impulse to flutter like a fairy.
Everyone was asking, the old gentleman was a little open at this time, a pride in the crowd, and slowly he spoke, and he actually recited: "Li Baidou has a hundred poems about wine, and the restaurant in Chang'an City sleeps, and the Son of Heaven can't get on the boat, claiming that the minister is a fairy in wine." Hahaha, this is wine, with this 'drunk life and dream death', Mr. Taibai will regret that he was born more than 200 years early. Shopkeeper, prepare a jar of wine for the old man, and the old man will go to your store today to have a good time. ”
Everyone heard what the old gentleman meant, and the wine was not only fine, but also very good. I also understood that the old gentleman was reluctant to participate in such an act as gambling and drinking, but this did not affect the interest of the people present in the wine they were about to drink.
"Sir, don't worry, I'll let you drink until you're happy. But please wait a moment, I would like to ask you to unveil and witness the opening of the restaurant. ”
Only then did the old gentleman look up at the door of the restaurant, the plaque and the couplets were covered tightly with red cloth, and he really didn't even know the name of the restaurant, which had a bit of meaning.
Zhen Feng said to the people in the audience who were eager to try: "Everyone, the exclusive brewing of drinks in this store is limited, and they are basically placed here, so today's hero challenge is limited to ten. If you have any problems, please bear with us, and you can continue to try this challenge tomorrow. ”
Finally, ten people came to power. Those who didn't grab it scolded and watched unconvinced, hoping that everyone on stage would be drunk. Zhu Youcai was the first, shouting in his heart, it's just this little wine, when Lao Tzu finishes drinking, if it doesn't taste good or drunk, he will smash your field.
As a result, he was pushed back by the strong pungent taste of the wine, which turned out to be wine? Drinks are generally soft, even cloudy, how can they be so strong and clear? It's not okay if you don't drink it now, Xu Kai's old man has publicly admitted it, and it will be a shame if he doesn't drink. He also recognized it just now, he followed his father Zhu Lingyun to mingle in the officialdom of Jiangning City, and he still has this eyesight. This old gentleman who did not report his name was Xu Kai, a member of the Zhongshu Society, who was famous and famous in the world, and was unparalleled in the entire Tang Dynasty. This person's official position is not ordinary, and his brother Xu Xuan is a person who does not dare to offend, he is a person who knows the system, and many of the national letters are drafted by him, but he is a contemporary Wenzong, and Han Xizai is equally famous.
And this is also the reason why Zhen Feng left the old gentleman behind as the unveiling. The trust of everyone in him is enough to make people wonder, and soon he faintly heard someone say the word "Xu Kai", if he still doesn't know who it is, then he has no face to mix in Jiangning City. It's easy to have a high-profile or well-known public figure in Jiangning City, especially in a romantic place like the Qinhuai River. Since there are people who can't be invited as guests, and people happen to be reluctant to reveal their names, they can be invited to participate in the opening of the restaurant with a late birthday ceremony, which will also be a good story in the future. There is a topic, there is unconvincing, and there is word of mouth.
Three bowls of stomach after another, the stomach burned, the smell of wine emitted to every pore, and even the exhaled gas was full of the taste of wine, it turned out that there was really such wine. It's just that they can't feel it anymore, and many people in the audience have made their dreams come true.
When Zhu Youcai woke up the next day, he had a splitting headache, and he was still drunk after retching for a while. He only remembered that he had drunk wine yesterday evening, and then it was blank, could it be poisoned or evil? He found his scholar and asked him how he behaved after drinking, and he blushed unprecedentedly, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
It turned out that after drinking, Zhu Youcai began to play drunk, he pulled people to dance, and after dancing for a while, he began to take off his clothes, fortunately, Zhang Fei and the scholar quickly grabbed him.
While talking about Zhu Youcai's performance, the scholar was so red that he didn't dare to laugh, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart. In order to avoid his young master's anger and punishment, the scholar hurriedly said: "Young master, you are already very good like that, and others are unbearable." ”
When Zhu Youcai heard it, it was true. Others couldn't be better after three bowls of wine. Some of them hugged people and cried and laughed at the scene, some planted their heads directly on the ground, some spit until the green bile came out, some touched the men around them and complained about how they were so flat, and some almost spit out disrespectful words Fortunately, they were stopped by their companions, otherwise it might be a disaster...... All kinds of performance, it is indeed inferior to oneself. Big brother, don't laugh at second brother.
The scholar barely finished speaking, and just as he didn't know how annoyed and angry the young master would be, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Fei pushed the door in.
Zhang Fei and Zhu Youcai are good at the same time, and they have not yet performed the crown ceremony, so entering the room directly is a sign of the close relationship between the two families. As soon as Zhang Fei saw Zhu Youcai's cheeks flushed, he actually laughed wildly, stomped his feet with laughter, and tears came out. When the scholar saw it, he hurriedly asked for instructions to leave, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it back, let Zhang Feigongzi talk about other things, this is not a good errand.
After beating Zhang Fei, Zhu Youcai realized that he was more embarrassed, and he even had the heart to kill people. Yesterday, when he got off the stage and was helped by Zhang Fei and the scholar to walk in the direction of the carriage, he shouted in front of others: "Don't help me, I'm not drunk, I'm really not drunk, don't believe me, I can still jump!" After saying that, he began to jump up, jumping and jumping, and he couldn't help it, and he was a two-hundred-and-five, wine biao who was alive.
Speaking of this, Zhang Fei laughed out loud with a donkey bark. After being punched and kicked, Zhang Fei still couldn't stop laughing and said: "You have now been given a name by the brothers, you must hold back when you hear it." ”
In Zhu Youcai's murderous eyes, Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "They call you, call you, jump Zhu, jump pig...... Hahahaha...... Pigs can jump, hahahaha......"
Zhu Youcai was desperate, he knew with his toes that his reputation in the circle of gentlemen in the capital of the Tang Kingdom had become famous.
