Text Chapter 26 The years and the flowers of the ancient trees sprout

In my dreams, I heard that the world is deep in grass and trees.

Qingmei is easy to get old, and the bamboo horse has no intention.

Who ties my pothos skirt, there is a red rope traction.

Shaohua is burdened with annual rings, and fate cannot escape greed, ignorance, and anger.

The small characters of the floating life are carefully outlined into the ancient and modern.

The landscape looks back five hundred times,. They meet in the mortal world.

Bodhi leaves 3,000 scriptures, listen to the lotus blossoms and falls.

Come to the fruit, go to the cause.

Poor and infatuated ......!

But it is said that from ancient times to the present, there is only one love word in the world that is the most tormenting. Even if it was the overlord Xiang Yu a few decades ago, such a hero and hero, who was invincible, could not escape the hatred of his concubine.

And Liu Bang, the emperor of Gaozu in this dynasty, from a cloth cloth to the respect of the Ninety-Five, is a dragon among people, but when he dies, he can't bear to give up his love for the beloved Qi Ji's children.

As for the older Zhou Youwang, the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera Pomeranians laughed, and died and the country was destroyed.

The king of Shang doted on Daji and gathered treasures to burn himself in Lutai...... And so on and so forth.

The rest of the ordinary sentient beings' stories of those who are trapped by love and who are negative for love are even more numerous.

At this time, the third watch day has passed, and the half-round waning moon is slanting westward. In the bedroom in the backyard of the Qingjiao restaurant, there is a faint smell of sandalwood and fat powder. But the people inside are difficult to fall asleep because of love.

Mrs. Su on the opposite side had already fallen asleep. The woman named Zhuo Ying turned over, and in the hazy moonlight, the little girl beside her, Lingzhi, also fell asleep.

This little girl has been very close to her since she met a few years ago, and affectionately calls her Aunt Wen. She has never had a child of her own, and she treats Lingzhi as a daughter in her heart.

"Alas!" She sighed faintly in the darkness.

She's been restless ever since she heard the name from the drinker this afternoon. It's been more than half a year since I heard from him, can he be good to her, can he go back to his original appearance? She had no confidence in that.

How could I be so stupid in the first place! Then run away with him hastily. Until now, she hasn't figured out whether she is because of the loneliness of those widowed days, or because of those nights when her sorrow is difficult to dissipate? Or ...... Eager to escape from that rich family?

Maybe it's all of them, she is too tired of those ordinary and comfortable lives. That's why he was easily stirred up by that person's intentions, and he embarked on that deviant road for him without hesitation. She was only seventeen years old.

Ten years have passed by in a snap of a finger, and the long night is long, will the beautiful son who was once both civil and military will fall asleep? The years were dull and silent, and tears slipped down her pillow from the corners of her eyes.

The wind blew, and the coarse cloth wine banner in front of the restaurant sounded softly, and the three big words "Qingjiao" on it were the ...... he wrote by himself.

The morning dawn in the east has appeared, and the sky has finally dawned. Inside and outside the restaurant, there is gradually the sound of customers getting up and moving.

Cui Hong didn't sleep all night excitedly, he was in good spirits and got up early in the morning. I removed the bandage on my arm and reapplied the wound medicine. After packing up, I went to check the temporary goods.

The Boss Nie felt strange, and I saw that this kid had been depressed because of hatred in his heart, but now he didn't know what was going on.

Cui Hong didn't say anything, but from time to time he quietly glanced at Yuan Zhao's residence opposite from the corner of his eye, and saw that he didn't get up.

The young man was eager to bear it, and he didn't talk about him.

Yuan Zhao and the other four lived in a room, he took a nap at ten o'clock in the morning, and when he woke up, the two adults had already gone out, thinking that they were going to take care of the horses and tidy up the vehicles. And the little fat man was still sleeping.

The sky was bright, he carefully checked his upper and lower clothes again, and found that the placket of his back clothes was splashed with a lot of blood stains from last night's battle, and he was afraid that Lingzhi would be worried about seeing it for a while, so he quickly took it off and changed it into another one.

In the courtyard behind, Mrs. Su and Lingzhi also woke up one after another, and saw that Zhuo Ying was sitting in front of the window early to make up, but her face was very haggard.

Su Hongyun has had a deep friendship with her over the years, so she naturally knows her heart. The two talked for half a night last night, and at this time they inevitably stepped forward to be relieved.

The woman named Zhuo Ying is also a straightforward character, and Lingzhi is holding her neck next to her, greasy and crookedly pestering her, and her mood is gradually improving.

After breakfast, Mrs. Su and Lingzhi wanted to return to Chang'an, although the woman was reluctant and helpless, she inevitably complained about parting again.

Wait until the third pole of the sun, turn to the front and meet Yuan Zhao and the others. Zhao Yuan and Song Jiu had already packed up his things, and Lingzhi walked beside Yuan Zhao, but he might as well have Yuan Zhao secretly stuff something to him.

Lingzhi was stunned for a moment, only to feel that something was held in his palm, and the tentacles were warm. When I secretly looked at it with my eyes, it was a delicate jade pendant.

I only heard Yuan Zhao whisper in my ear: "It was given by the little boy yesterday, I'm afraid that I will lose it on my body, so you can take it and play with it."

Su Lingzhi's face suddenly turned red. She didn't dare to look at Yuan Zhao, so she only whispered "um", and hurriedly walked a few steps to her mother's side.

Yuan Zhao was a little funny, this Lingzhi has been too shy lately. Helplessly, he touched his nose and raised his head, only to find that the woman who was standing next to Mrs. Su and talking was looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

Seeing her, Yuan Zhao suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly went to the carriage outside and brought a small bamboo basket.

Yuan Zhao brought the small bamboo basket to Zhuo Ying, and opened the opening covered with thatch, Zhuo Ying didn't know why, looked over, and saw some strangely shaped things crawling around inside.

"These are all caught by me and Lingzhi in the Wei River, don't look at their ugly appearance, but the taste is first-class delicious."

"Are these things really edible? It's just that...... It's a little weird! ”

"yes, yes, it's delicious! Aunt Wen, you must try it! The girl next to her shouted impatiently.

The woman just smiled, Yuan Zhao knew that she didn't believe it, and immediately explained to her in detail how to make it and how to eat it after steaming.

Zhuo Ying saw that what he said was very detailed, but some gradually believed it. Mrs. Su had been smiling beside her, and then patted Yuan Zhao's head.

"This kid is a lover person, and he remembers how good you were to him in the first place."

"Sister, we've all eaten this thing, it tastes really good, it's rare that he has this heart for you to keep."

Zhuo Ying felt a little moved in her heart, and said gently: "Okay, I'll accept my heart." In the future, you and Lingzhi will often come to Aunt Wen's place to play. ”

Yuan Zhao nodded, and said: "This thing is called a crab, most people in the world don't know it, but it's actually an excellent drink." Belch...... Aunt Wen, as long as you are good at cooking, it is okay to add a signature dish to the restaurant. ”

"Oh? Really!" The woman was interested.

"Yes, autumn is high and cool, crabs are fat and tender, at this time, eating crabs and drinking warm wine is the most enjoyable!" Yuan Zhao said.

Zhuo Ying was originally born in a merchant family, and her mother's family gradually became a wealthy family. I have this vision and nature in my bones. After listening to Yuan Zhao's words, I felt that I could give it a try. Then he instructed the shopkeeper to bring a basket of crabs to the back, and when he had worked hard, he would rectify it according to what Yuan Zhao said, and eat and see.

Yuan Zhao thanked her for her kindness in taking him in, thought about it and said: "Although the wine in the restaurant tastes good, it is too monotonous. I have a few ways to mix bartending, and this time I was too late to rush ....... With that, he looked up at Mrs. Sue.

Su Hongyun knew what he wanted to say, and smiled gently: "You can help in a few days, just help Sister Zhuo make a few new wines."

Zhuo Ying was skeptical in her heart, and she didn't believe that such a child as Yuan Zhao had such ability. Before she could speak, she suddenly heard someone next to her cough softly.

"This little brother, Nie has a little question, I don't know if you can take the liberty of asking?"

Yuan Zhao had seen that this person was a middle-aged man, slightly chubby, and his face was a little kind. I have a vague impression that it was a guest who stayed here yesterday. Then she nodded and smiled at him.

The middle-aged man who reported his surname Nie glanced at the few people here again, and arched his hand slightly: "I am a merchant who walks north and south, and I just heard this little brother talk about wine, which seems to be very familiar, could it be ...... Could it be that his family is also engaged in the brewing industry? ”

Seeing that he was asking everyone, Mrs. Su was inconvenient to ask the child to answer, so she hurriedly said: "We run a teahouse in Chang'an City, and this girl of mine is the owner of this restaurant, and her wine is self-brewed." After speaking, he pointed to Zhuo Ying.

Boss Nie nodded to Zhuo Ying and asked, "The rice wine in your store is also good." But I wonder if there is any stronger wine? For example, the kind of bad wine that the people on the grassland drink....... ”

Zhuo Ying shook her head: "My family has always only made this kind of wine. Moreover, the Central Plains seems to be made in this way, but as for the grassland bad wine you mentioned, it is not. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly. sighed: "Yes, I have traveled all over the world, and I have only seen this kind of soft rice wine." It's just that...... The north is bitter and cold, but people are not used to drinking this, but it is not as good as the wine from the grassland Huns, although the wine is bitter and unbearable, but it is more in line with the taste of the men in the north. Alas......!" The meaning of regret is very strong.

When Yuan Zhao heard him say this, his heart moved. "What about that?" he asked....... Sir, are you a merchant selling goods from the north to the south? ”

"Hehe, Nie is exactly."

"How's the scale? Uh, I mean, how big is your deal? ”

"I think my Nie family has been a third-generation businessman, living in Yandi, and it can be regarded as one of the best merchants in the north. Ha ha! ”

Boss Nie was very kind, and he didn't despise Yuan Zhao just because he was a child. It's just that when it comes to family history, there is inevitably a hint of self-preservation between the words.

"That's it!"

Yuan Zhao clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile.

Mrs. Su, Zhao Yuan, Song Jiu, including Zhuo Ying and the others who were standing behind, all looked surprised, and they didn't know what Yuan Zhao was going to do.

"The best wine will be there! As for the kind of bad wine on the prairie you mentioned, compared to this kind of wine, it is simply not called wine!"

Boss Nie was taken aback, stared at Yuan Zhao's eyes and asked, "Is this true?" Don't talk nonsense, children. ”

"Of course! Absolutely true. Yuan Zhao said affirmatively.

"But it will take a little time, I wonder if you can wait?"

Hearing Yuan Zhao say this, Boss Nie hesitated a little.

"Moreover, if you are interested in cooperating, there will be tea, salt and other foods in the future...... And so on, it can be handed over to you to traffick. What do you think? Yuan Zhao casually threw out such a sentence.

"What...... What did you say? The chubby middle-aged man was really surprised this time.

His family has been in business for several generations, and he knows what is in demand in the world, what is profitable, and what is the goods that win big profits.

If the child in front of you is not a child? …… It's not like that! The middle-aged man walked around and read countless people, and from the attitude of the people around him towards this child and the tone of his own speech, it could be concluded that he was not talking nonsense just now.

If there is really such a source that can cooperate, then ...... Isn't that a huge opportunity! The Yandi merchant, whose real name is Nie Yi, jumped with excitement in his heart.
