Chapter 119: Provincial Relatives
The wine was not good, and Changsun Hong frowned after only taking a sip.
Although most of the wine in later generations was blended wine, this bottle of wine was made of grain, but the taste was far from the same, the taste of the wine was astringent and bitter, and the taste of the wine was very light, and it was almost the same as white water with horse urine when swallowed.
Ran Daqi and the others drank so much that they always teased the two teenagers, Changsun Hong and Gouzi, and they looked ridiculous and didn't dare to drink, which immediately annoyed Changsun Hong.
For Changsun Hong, this kind of wine is not much different from drinking water, and he can drink a bottle of wine alone without blushing or messing up, so he smiled indifferently and drank with Ran Daqi and the two guys who were qualified to sit at the same table with them.
After drinking a bottle, the people who were waiting to see Changsun Hong's jokes on the table were stupid, Changsun Hong took a cup without hesitation, and when he saw the bottle at the bottom, he didn't see his face flushed, and they were all shocked.
"If you're so happy tonight, drink more." Ran Daqi was interested, and went into his bedroom with a rush of wine, and found two jars of wine.
"These are the last two altars, and there are no more." He poked his words and wanted to drink with Changsun Hong again.
The people at the table all followed suit, wine, Li Bai said that getting drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, and it is difficult to buy aged liquor. Ran Daqi iron rooster plucking, don't you rush to echo it?
Hehe, Changsun Hong laughed twice, took a stack of big bowls, and said: "In this case, it is better to have one bowl for one person, everyone at the table will come together, and whoever finishes it first will win." ”
That bowl is a sea bowl, and a bowl can hold at least a pound of wine, and you can drink it in one gulp......
Sitting at this table, in addition to Changsun Hong and Ran Daqi, there was also a bookkeeper, two nurses, two big guys, plus a dog, everyone was stunned and smacked their tongues again and again.
But the wine is here, of course, you can't back down, everyone is happy, just drink it.
The people in the back hall all stood up, cheering loudly, and the aroma of wine and meat was mixed together, which made people irrational, and the feeling in the haze was the most comfortable, so the eight of them stood up together and raised their heads to drink.
Changsun Hong was the first to finish drinking, wiped his mouth, snatched the wine bowl in the hand of the dog who was frowning as if drinking poison, drank it in one go, and put the wine bowl on the table with a "touch".
Naturally, he won, but this kind of fighting, the comparison is a joy, no point to win or lose, the people below shouted frantically, "two owners, two owners" cheers endlessly, even the losers are not angry, the same big tongue shouting nonsense.
The banquet entered the climax, and Ran Daqi, who was a little drunk, began to pull the craftsmen one by one to reminisce about the bittersweet and bitter memories of Rui Fuxiang, recalling the past of Rui Fuxiang, and everyone cried together, lamenting that the world is not easy.
Everybody's blushing, everybody's happy.
A burly nursing home, called Duan Wu, in his twenties, but he has a big beard, his face looks at least thirty years old, and he is also drunk and hazy and calls Changsun Hong a brother, his words are not authentic, Changsun Hong thought it was because of the wine at first, and only after talking did he know that it was not this reason.
"I'm a barbarian, and I'm from Shimenfan, Xuzhou." He lay on the table, pointed to his nose and said with a smile: "Have the second owner heard of the three barbarians in Xuzhou?" ”
Changsun Hong nodded, as if it was from Zizhou.
"The second owner really has insight, and even knows where our barbarians live." Duan Wu smiled: "We are all mountains there, there are more mountains than here, and they are still barren, we farm there and plant very little, people are very poor, and they live very hard, alas, it is much worse than here." ”
Eldest Sun Hong patted him on the shoulder, Duan Wu's shoulders were very thick, muscular, and he was a sturdy man, but at the moment he was paralyzed like mud.
"We are there, and then go to the south, is the country of Dali, Dali people have fought with the Great Song Dynasty, and they are not very friendly to us in Xuzhou, and they shout and kill us, and the Great Song Dynasty also treats us as barbarians, except for levying Ding and levying husbands, collecting taxes and paying grain, and they don't care about us. We are caught in the middle, and life is hard. Duan Wu was drunk, probably no one to talk to on weekdays, it was rare to have someone to talk to, and he didn't let go when he caught it: "The second owner is good to me, don't treat me like a barbarian, I thank you." ”
Changsun Hong is a little embarrassed, this nursing home usually lives in the backyard, and I don't know how Ran Daqi invited him, he does his best to do things, and he also has a good fist and foot gun stick, and he greeted him and smiled, how did it become a favor because of human nature?
"Second owner, you are very good, Geng is straightforward and refreshing, I will serve you in Duan Wu, absolutely obey you!" Duan Wu said upside down, his eyes were about to narrow: "One day, I will take you to Shimenfan, go to my house, I have Tai Sui dug out of the mountains at home, people eat it to prolong life, I hid it, I want to sell it for money when I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, hehe, I will give it to you, the second owner, give it to you, you eat it, live a long life, take us to live a good life......"
His voice grew lower, lower, almost inaudible, until at last he tilted and slipped under the table, snoring loudly.
A few bystanders came over, laughed and lifted him up, and sent him back to the room to rest, Ran Daqi saw it from a distance and shouted: "Drink again, drink again!" Don't go, don't go, I'm in the house, and there's wine! ”
Fortunately, he drank a lot, shouted happily, but his body didn't move, and he turned his head and chattered with the people around him.
Changsun Hong was not drunk, this kind of bad wine was like a bad drink, except for some bad tastes, there was no difficulty at all.
Turning his head, he saw a dog with straight eyes, leaning back in his chair and staring at the sky.
The eldest grandson Hong laughed, this young man only drank two or three sips of wine, and he was snatched the bowl by himself, how could he be so bad.
He picked up a cup of tea, handed it over, and said, "Dog, drink a cup of tea, it will feel better." ”
The dog was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took the teacup, but he didn't drink it, and his eyes were a little red.
The eldest grandson Hong was strange and was about to ask, but the dog raised his eyes to look at him first, and said softly: "Erlang, I miss my family." ”
His tone was very light, with imperceptible embarrassment, he looked at Changsun Hong, and then quickly lowered his eyelids: "I know that you have something big to do in the city, and you shouldn't have said this, but we have been out for a long time, and now the New Year is approaching, I want to go back, look at my family, and tell them that I am living well in the city, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I am no longer a scholar, I am an apprentice in the bookkeeper, and with silver income, my father and mother will not worry." ”
Probably not drinking, he didn't dare to say it yet.
The vague outline of Lijia Village suddenly jumped out from the depths of his memory and appeared in Changsun Hong's mind, the thatched houses, village roads, ancient wells, firewood, the working farmers, the clear stream, and the huge banyan tree at the head of the village, flashed out one by one, extremely clear.
"I thought, pull a few feet of cloth for my mother, she hasn't sewn new clothes in a long time. Buy a new plow for my father, the old one has been used for more than ten years, the cutting edge is almost smoothed, and it is very difficult to plow the land. The dog muttered, lowered his head and said: "For the rest, buy some delicious food and give it to my brothers, they are the most greedy, and they guard the outside of the kitchen wall of Li Daguan's house every day, picking up some bones to gnaw, I want them to taste the meat and bones that have not been gnawed......"
There was a crystal light flickering in Changsun Hong's eyes, he pinched the dog's arm, interrupted him, and said, "Okay, dog, let's go back, look at the house, look at my parents, and look at Lijia Village." ”
