Xi Zhicai left, and in regret, Liu Lan embarked on the trip again.

The speed is not fast, but that's it, along the way, it has also made Xiaoman's rich daughter suffer a lot, first of all, Liu Lan plans to take her into the city to eat a full meal to quench the worms, and secondly, after entering the city, he hopes to take care of a carriage, although Yongsheng's injury has been dealt with, but there has been a recurrence in the middle of a month, and Xiaoman has given the chariot to Yongsheng, but she still can't ride, this way to come or go or by Liu Lan to stiffen, but let him suffer a lot, is that after arriving in Xu County, Liu Lan immediately took her and Zhang Fei into Xu County, Different from later generations, the population density of Xu County at this time was not large, and there was no traffic in later generations, but the same was the same as the usual noisy and noisy in later generations, and in another time and space, Xu County was the capital chosen by Cao Cao to welcome the emperor and queen for him.

However, at present, Cao Cao chose Xu County for its reasons, and it can be seen from the surface that both the business and agriculture of this county are very developed, compared with the counties in eastern Liaoning, and even many large counties in Jizhou, Xu County is several times stronger.

The three of them came to the market and spent a lot of money to hire a two-wheeled and single-horse carriage, but unlike ordinary carriages where only one person can sit in the car, the car they took care of was improved, and the space in the car was quite large, which could accommodate four people.

The three of them took the car to a Taoyuan tavern to park, the handlebar type waited outside the tavern, the three of them entered the store, the scale of this Taoyuan tavern is naturally larger than the front hall of the guest inn in Yangzhai County, but the most impressive thing for him is that this tavern reminds him of the Tongfu Inn in the later generations of 'Wulin Gaiden', the whole is a wooden structure, the decoration is simple and gorgeous, and the ancient rhyme is exquisite, divided into two floors, and the first floor receives diners. The second floor is a private room, and if it is changed to accommodation, it will be exactly the same as the Tongfu Inn.

Xiaoman is dressed in gorgeous men's clothes, and in the eyes of the store, he looks like a pretty son, and Liu Lan and Zhang Fei are two. On the contrary, it was positioned as a servant by the store, but when it was found that the three of them were seated together, the shopkeeper found that he had lost his eyes, and the servants in this world often stood and guarded by their sides, and how could there be a reason like these two people who rashly sat beside the nobles, which can only show that the three people are nobles. The shopkeeper in his forties immediately changed color, and the smiles on the three of them never stopped.

The shopkeeper has good eyesight, and the second child has even more of it, so he immediately greeted him. Zhang Fei said in a rough voice: "Xiao Er, if you have anything to eat and drink, just come up!" "It's exactly what Liu Lan looked like when he was in Yangzhai, drink ~~ That's called a pride.

I have seen a lot of heroic Xiao Er, but it is the first time I have encountered it like Zhang Fei, nodding and playing with a package ticket, so that the three of them can rest assured, and they will definitely not be disappointed.

Soon, under the greeting of Xiao Er, the main dish of Taoyuan Tavern came up. One of the 'spiced rabbit meat' attracted the attention of the three people, and the rabbit meat was fragrant. There is no grassy smell, and the salty and fragrant taste is crispy and long, which provokes the three of them to applaud.

called Xiao Er to inquire, only to learn that the spiced rabbit meat was extremely cumbersome to sit on, and the hare needed to be disemboweled, peeled to remove the internal organs. After seven days of air drying, soak in ice water, then chop into pieces, wash with hot water and put it into the ding, and then add spices. Such as Yangzhou Huiji County (Fujian) sand kernels, bay leaves, syrup (sugar), sand paste (meat sauce) cardamom, apples, coriander (coriander), pepper (pepper), star anise (anise), first boil for half an hour with a fire, and then simmer for half an hour, and then take out after cooling.

The process is cumbersome, Liu Lan was amazed, but Zhang Fei shouted, "Such good meat, how can there be no wine, it is a delicacy, and it tastes like a bird, hurry up and serve all your good wine!" ”

"The kid came here to ask the guest officer what kind of drink he was drinking." Xiao Er smiled and said: "It's not a secret, the small shop is a small business, and there are only three kinds of wine sold in the store, but they are all the best." ”

Zhang Fei was originally from the market, and he was used to seeing these tricks, so he naturally understood that Xiao Er was deliberately selling Guanzi to reduce the appetite of diners, so he sold drinks at a high price, and glared at him, and said fiercely: "It's all the best?" , to tell you the truth, don't say that it is your private brew in this small tavern, it is the official brew of Luoyang, and I have drunk the brew of Beigong Palace, you birdman Hugh uses words to fool me, wait until the wine is not satisfactory, hum, Hugh blames grandpa for unscrewing your head! ”

"This ...... This ...... "Xiao Er was really panicked, and frequently wiped away the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead.

This situation is not strange for Xiaoman, after all, the huge Fenglai Building in the capital is his family, and he came forward to solve the siege for Xiao Er, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, my brother of the Zhang family is joking with you, by the way, the shopkeeper, what are the three kinds of wine sold in your tavern, let's hear what kind of private wine you have in this little tavern!" ”

The frightened Xiao Er is now not saying or not saying it, and when he hesitated, the shopkeeper came forward and said with a smile: "This kid is a new guy who is ignorant, and he has neglected a few honored guests, Haihan Haihan." The shopkeeper who accompanied him looked at how vicious he was, didn't look at Zhang Fei, who had a hot temper, and didn't care about Xiaoman, who was obviously a woman disguised as a man, and waved at Liu Lan, who had not spoken, and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, there are three kinds of wine sold in our store, the first is our own rice wine, which is used to drinking by some frequent drinkers, although it is the worst in this store, but it is much better than the drinks in other hotels." The second is Du Kang wine from Luoyang, which is often ordered by passing guests, but since Childe came to my Taoyuan Inn, he wants to drink, of course, he has to drink the best wine in this store, and the best wine sold in this store is not Du Kang but the signature 'old wine in the credit shop'. ”

This credit shop old wine Xiaoman is naturally famous for a long time, it is rumored that in the late Western Han Dynasty, the princes competed for hegemony, and the heroes fought each other. Liu Xiu, the royal family of the Western Han Dynasty, conformed to the will of the people, full of ambition to restore the Han family, and led a strong army to raise troops in Guwan City, fight and fight, and level the world. After a big battle, outnumbered, led a team of people and horses to flee in despair, people were sleepy and tired, fled to an ancient town, saw a tavern, the general drank wildly, the spirit doubled, discussed and then raised a big event, drank three rounds, the plan was agreed, only the lack of handsome flags. Liu Xiu walked out of the hotel, looked up and saw a wine banner floating in the Xiaoxiao north wind, and a big "Liu" Yu was in the middle, and he was overjoyed: "God help me!" "Then remove the wine pretense for the handsome flag, all the way to the battle, invincible, raised troops in Nanyang to fight Kunyang, and built the capital Luoyang. It is said that the emperor and queen read "Liu" to remember that the small shop has meritorious credit flags, and this small shop is a credit flag shop, and the wine is "old wine on credit", and this town is called "credit shop town". Thereafter. The old liquor in the credit store is famous all over the world. Up and down the palace, princes and generals, sao guest literati, and ordinary people all drink this wine.

Liu Xiu's sister, Princess Huyang, set up a banquet to welcome guests and drink, using two wine jugs. A handful of gold, a handful of silver, Shaoxing rice wine in a golden pot, and an old wine on credit in a silver pot.

Compared with Xiaoman, who has heard the old wine name of the credit store for a long time, Liu Lan has heard of it for the first time. On the contrary, this Du Kang wine has been famous for a long time, and there are reasons for future generations, but more because Du Kang wine is actually the official brew of Luoyang. If I remember correctly, Cao Cao even wrote a poem in the short song line to praise: how to solve worries. Only Du Kang, can know how much influence this Luoyang official brewed Du Kang wine has in this era, but he didn't expect that in the small shop, it would be ranked after the old wine in the credit store, and he now understands why the second child of this shop wants to sell Guanzi, if he is not intimidated by Zhang Fei, he is afraid that he will really be hung up by his appetite, but now, he is also a little impatient. Nod your head and let the shopkeeper carry a jar of old wine from the credit store to taste how good this private brew is!

"Okay."

The shopkeeper immediately retired, and soon ordered Xiao Er to bring a jar of old wine from the store on credit. Scooping a lamp for each of the three people, Liu Lan took the wine cup and shook it in the sun, it was clear and transparent, and there was almost no dregs. Even palace brewing is difficult to compare. Sniff it gently, it is rich and aromatic, and when you take a bite, it is really soft and moist, spicy but not spicy. At least more than 20 degrees, over the years, Liu Lan has drunk a lot of fine wine from all over the world, but compared to the alcohol with a degree like beer, this old wine in the credit store can be regarded as having a little white wine brows, and he gave a thumbs up to praise the shopkeeper: "The old wine in the credit store is really worthy of its name!" ”

Xiao Man drank it as before, but he didn't expect that the old wine in this credit store was extremely spicy, and he was immediately choked with tears and frowned, blamed Liu Lan, and said: "Can it be considered a good wine if it is so spicy?" ”

"You don't understand that."

"You say I don't understand?"

"Xiaoman, don't look at your family's operation of Gu Fenglailou, but when you want to talk about this wine, it may not be ......" Just when Liu Lan boasted that he had to drink a high degree of alcohol, such as stuffy donkey, Erguotou, Sanhua wine and Lao Bai did something, Xiaoman was confused, and he had never heard of it, but just when Liu Lan was talking about the lotus, three guests came into the tavern, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.

The leader of the three was in his fifties, and he was followed by two young men in their twenties, not because there was anything unusual about their appearance, but because their actions attracted Liu Lan's attention. The three of them were very bold, like Zhang Fei just now, as soon as they entered the store, they asked Xiao Er to bring good wine and food to serve, but when it was time to eat, they used silver needles to test whether they were poisonous, which attracted Liu Lan's attention. It's funny in his heart, he grew up watching Water Margin and Lu Ding Ji since he was a child, and he secretly said that these three people are also interesting, if you meet an opponent like Brother Xiaobao, then this little life The three of you can really be regarded as an explanation, after all, people give you drugs or sweat drugs, how can you find out with a silver needle.

Liu Lan smiled secretly in his heart, and Xiao Man was obviously a little abnormal from the three of them just entered the house, but Liu Lan didn't notice her changing expression, but her slightly panicked look had been noticed by the old man on the opposite side, the two looked at each other, the man in charge smiled at her, sat down directly, and the man next to him had already started to order.

After seeing this person again, a little nervous Xiaoman settled down, and pretended to be casual and said to Liu Lan: "Full of wine and food, let's go!" Xiaoman, who was still angry at him before, was suddenly about to leave, so Liu Lan was uncertain for a while, and asked, "What's the matter, didn't you just say that you wanted to visit Xuxian City?" Why are you leaving again now? ”

This woman is just strange, the wind and rain are gusting for a while, and she was fine before, but in a blink of an eye, she looks like a big aunt, and she doesn't like anyone! Especially this girl, she will do whatever she wants! Xiaoman didn't answer him, grabbed his arm and said coquettishly: "Deran, I'm a little tired, let's go out of the city early, and let's go shopping when we get to Chen County!" ”

Xiaoman can be said to have found out Liu Lan's lifeline, this 'beauty plan' really worked, and immediately settled the bill out of the tavern under Xiaoman's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and after getting into the carriage, he instructed the coachman to go out of the city along the east gate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The three of them left, and the three diners who had just entered the Taoyuan Tavern looked at Liu Lan and the three of them with cold eyes. Although the old man is nearly fifty years old, he still has black hair and only frosty sideburns, but his figure is not sluggish because of age, but solid and abnormal.

The person sitting on the left side of the old man at the head of the man, his face was white, and his eyes were shining, but this person was short in stature, and he was sitting next to the old man, who was a head shorter than him, and said at this time: "Butler, why didn't you allow your subordinates to make a move just now?" As long as you stop it a little, when the other brothers arrive, you won't let them run away again! ”

The housekeeper stroked his beard and smiled, the corners of his eyes suddenly wrinkled, and said: "There is a black face Zhang Fei beside him, just me and the other three people, I'm afraid they won't be able to stay." Yin smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "I didn't expect Liu Deran to be so forgetful, he actually forgot the old man, it seems that this matter can't be good, since this is the case, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless." As he spoke, he said with a look of a bamboo in his chest: "Everything is under control, how can they easily escape!" After speaking, he took a bite of the signature 'grilled vegetarian mix' of Chopsticks Taoyuan Tavern, and praised: "It's really delicious." ”

Seeing that the family hesitated, he smiled and said: "Eat, this dish is well done, taste, taste!" After speaking, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, if I killed so many of our brothers, how could I let them go easily." ”

~~~~~~~~

The three of them left in the car, and the people along the way were not very interested, they didn't know what they were thinking, and they were always absent-minded. However, Zhang Fei fell asleep after eating, snoring and leaning on the carriage with his eyes open, thinking that he had already gone to see Zhou Gong! It's just that he is sleeping, but he is a little crazy.

After walking for a while, Liu Lan sat in the car and lifted the curtain to look, at this time it was the time of the waning sun, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. It's just this look, but I found something strange.

Leaving the city and Guan Yu should be the journey to the east, but at this time, the driver who was driving the car was running wildly towards the west where the sun was setting.

These two diametrically opposed roads made Liu Lan alert for the first time, although he didn't know the purpose of the coachman, there must be a problem.

I was not busy at the moment, but gently woke up Zhang Fei, although Zhang Fei was reckless but not stupid, after listening to the lord, he directly grabbed the coachman, and at the same time drove himself, changing his heading to the east.

In the car, Liu Lan tied up the coachman and shouted: "Who are you?" Be honest! Otherwise, today next year will be your death day! (To be continued......)
