Chapter Ninety-Eight: Xu Changfeng's Drinking Bureau
Xin Yifan was still prescient, and asked Zhang Dingxin to accompany Li Chengran to the winery in the south of the city first, and bought other people's inventory, and startled the winery owner at first, but then Li Chengran directly gave a deposit of 30,000 yuan, and the winery owner happily let people send the wine to Xin's house.
The liquor was all packed in large barrels, a full 11 barrels, each weighing 1 ton! A full 2,200 catties, and the owner of the distillery also gave more than a dozen bottles of 1 catty as gifts. The wine alone cost almost 100,000 yuan.
Xin Jianguo and Li Mo were frightened by the battle made by Li Chengran, as well as Chen Xia, and the three of them watched in puzzlement as the workers of the distillery moved eleven tons of wine into the courtyard of the Xin family.
"Son, is this a business that is going to do liquor wholesale?" Although Chen Xia asked Xin Yifan, her eyes couldn't help but look at Li Mo.
Li Mo scratched his head in confusion, and then shook his head.
"Chengran, what are you doing here?" Li Mo walked up to Li Chengran, who was directing people to move wine, and asked.
"Dad, this is what Yifan asked me to buy. Li Chengran, who didn't have time to deal with Li Mo, replied to Li Mo's sentence, and walked out the door, she had to watch these people move, which was also in line with her hands-on personality.
"Yifan, who are you?" Li Mo asked Xin Yifan again.
"Uncle Mo, this wine was bought to entertain Brother Changfeng. Xin Yifan smiled a little helplessly and said.
"What?" Xin Jianguo, Li Mo, and Chen Xia were all frightened.
At this time, Zhang Yunheng came over and explained: "Don't panic, this Xu Changfeng almost broke me!"
Zhang Yunheng's words made the three of them and the second monk even more confused.
Chen Xia went to the kitchen to cook with a suspicious face, Xin Jianguo and Li Mo also went back to the living room, and Li Chengran went into the kitchen to help Chen Xia prepare dinner together after ordering the wine.
After Xin Jianguo and Li Mo entered the house, they looked at Xu Changfeng who was sitting on the sofa, their eyes were a little weird, what kind of person is this guy, he can eat people poor after eating a meal!
Xu Changfeng looked at the Yuanjue Sutra obtained from Chuandeng Temple with relish, looking at it word by word, after Xin Jianguo and Li Mo walked in, they felt that someone was looking at him, Xu Changfeng raised his head and smiled at the two, and continued to look at the Yuanjue Sutra.
It wasn't until Xin Yifan walked in that Xu Changfeng put down the scriptures in his hand.
"This old monk actually came here, Xin Yifan, where did you get this scripture, it's not bad, this old monk has made progress in the past few years!" Xu Changfeng took the Yuanjue Sutra in his hand and shook it and said to Xin Yifan.
Xin Yifan heard Xu Changfeng's meaning, as if he knew the old monk, so he said to Xu Changfeng: "This is the scripture copied by the abbot of the Chuandeng Temple in Phoenix Mountain, and the brother went to the Chuandeng Temple by chance and begged for it." ”
"I can't see that this old monk has started to sell scriptures, and it's no wonder that he may have lost all his money that time, and he came here to hide his debts. Xu Changfeng said with a smile.
"Xu Daoyou, which old monk are you talking about?" Zhang Yunheng asked puzzled.
"I don't know if it's a great monk or not, but he is an upright person, and last time he bought me wine and drank it, forcing me to tell him some of the research results. Xu Changfeng touched his head as he spoke, as if he was really embarrassed.
Hearing these words in Zhang Yunheng's ears made his face twitch for a moment, thinking of his own experience last time.
"Oh, Xin Yifan, I'm here, why don't you let your mother prepare more food?" Xu Changfeng said to Xin Yifan again, but he was not polite at all.
Xin Yifan smiled, feeling that this Xu Changfeng was really eclectic in his words and deeds, so he said to him: "That's natural, Brother Changfeng is here, the wine and food are always enough, the hospitality of the people in our border city is famous, and the friends who have been here are also impressed." ”
"Hahaha... That's good, you go to the door to greet you, how to say it's an old man, you are the master, and you still have to have etiquette. Xu Changfeng said, took the scripture book in his hand again and began to read it.
Hearing Xu Changfeng's inexplicable words, Xin Yifan was a little confused, who to greet at the door! But Xin Yifan still walked towards the door curiously, and just happened to see the three monks walking to the door.
It is the three monks in the Chuandeng Temple.
I saw a smile on the face of the middle-aged monk, walked up to Xin Yifan, folded his hands, and said: "Amitabha, Master Xin, and the three poor monks came uninvited and bothered. ”
The arrival of these three people made Xin Yifan really surprised, Xin Yifan saw the middle-aged monk saluting, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Amitabha, I don't know that the three of them are coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, please come in!"
Although it was an accident, Xin Yifan hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the courtyard, and after the three of them entered the courtyard, they stopped going inside.
Xin Yifan said again: "Master, please sit in the room." ”
The old monk who had not spoken for a long time said: "Amitabha, the three of them shouldn't have come uninvited, but there are Taoist friends who come here and have to come out to meet. After the old monk finished speaking, he found a chair and sat down under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, put the crutches he carried on the tree, looked at the two trees in the courtyard, and couldn't help nodding.
There are two trees in the yard of Xin Yifan's house, an osmanthus tree and a ginkgo tree, both of which were planted by his grandfather from Shidi Ancient Town when the yard was repaired decades ago.
"Hahaha... Old monk, where did you come from so many rules, you didn't enter the house when you came, but rubbed other people's nobility under other people's trees. Xu Changfeng came to the courtyard laughing and taunted the old monk.
"Fellow Daoist, Lao Wei is not arrogant, Lao Wei is here to pray for the blessing of Lord Xin's family. The old monk saw Xu Changfeng walking out, stood up and said to Xu Changfeng with a bitter face.
Zhang Yunheng and Xin Jianguo, Li Mo and others also walked out, Xu Changfeng acted as an introducer, and introduced all the people in the courtyard, Xin Yifan only knew at this time that the old monk's law name was Yuanjue, the middle-aged monk's law name was Kechen, and the little novice was commonly known as Zuo Mengeng, and his nickname was Xiaodong.
After Master Yuanjue saw Zhang Yunheng, he also hurriedly saluted: "Zhang Daoyou is well." ”
Zhang Yunheng replied: "Yuanjue Dao is friendly. ”
It seems that the two seem to know each other.
Then Xu Changfeng suggested that since Master Yuanjue refused to enter the house, it was better to move the tables and chairs to the courtyard, Chen Xia only found that there were three monks at home when the food came out, although he was a little surprised, but he still greeted them politely.
For this reason, Chen Xia also asked Zhang Dingxin to run an errand, go and buy a new pot, and start a vegetarian meal.
has been busy all afternoon, Chen Xia prepared a large table of dishes with the help of Li Chengran, and a big table was filled with dishes, as rich as the New Year.
Xiaodong is a very sensible child, especially after seeing Xin Yifan and Li Chengran, he was very happy, and helped Li Chengran to serve the food.
The old monk Master Yuanjue and Zhang Yunheng were invited to sit at the top, but neither of them agreed, but they just asked Xu Changfeng to sit at the top, and the two sat on both sides, one left and one right, and then Xin Jianguo and Li Mo.
Seeing that the two old Buddhist masters valued Xu Changfeng so much, Xin Yifan was a little surprised. It seems that this Xu Changfeng is really not only a good drinker, but can make Master Yuanjue and Heavenly Master Zhang Yunheng so polite, Xin Yifan couldn't help but look at him again.
Xu Changfeng is neither Buddhism, nor Taoism, nor Confucianism, Xin Yifan has listened to his conversation since the last time he drank with him, and felt that Xu Changfeng was more like a scientist and philosopher, or a metaphysician, in short, his remarks were always apopathic, but there was always no way to refute it.
After the wine game began, Yuan Jue and Kechen did not drink, but just ate Zhai, and there was also a cup of tea in front of them, of course Xu Changfeng would not persuade them to drink, every time Xu Changfeng toasted, Yuan Jue and Kechen replaced the wine with tea, and took a sip of tea.
Of course, the banquet is indispensable, and we will sit down and talk about it.
At this time, Xin Jianguo and Li Mo were already drunk, and they were helped by Xin Yifan to rest on the sofa in the living room, and Chen Xia and Li Chengran were taking care of them.
There were only Xu Changfeng, Yuan Jue, Zhang Yunheng, Kechen, Xin Yifan and a few people left on the table, Zhang Dingxin and Xiaodong didn't know where to play.
"Xin Yifan, this time you have a lot of alcohol, it seems that the spirit bone will help you a lot. Xu Changfeng looked a little drunk, Xin Yifan looked at it, and the three wine barrels were already empty.
"Brother Changfeng said with a smile, who dares to mention the amount of alcohol in front of you. Xin Yifan smiled and said. In fact, it was not that the amount of alcohol he drank increased, but that after this long period of spirit bone induction, the alcohol was quickly metabolized after entering the body, and Xin Yifan felt that the more he drank this wine, the more energetic he became, and it was more energetic than eating a full meal.
Xu Changfeng also smiled, picked up the wine bowl and slammed it with Xin Yifan, so, a bowl of wine went down again, Xin Yifan also held the idea of sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman, and Xu Changfeng worked bowl by bowl, at this time Xin Yifan felt that he was in good condition and the wine was in full swing!
"I said, you two old guys, you are at this age, you can't let go of your stomach and drink with me, especially you, old monk, you are tired of keeping those rules, in my opinion, you keep the rules, your heart may not be able to keep it, you are not pursuing Nirvana, let me tell you, this dimension of time and space, you don't have to think about it, the energy is not enough at all, and you, the old Taoist, you don't have the eternal life you want. Xu Changfeng seemed to be talking nonsense.
"The words of the Taoist friend are undoubted, and what the old man abides by is not the rules, it is this state of mind. Master Yuanjue said.
Zhang Yunheng was a little drunk, but he didn't lose his temper, I saw him smile bitterly, and said: "Fellow Daoist, we have long had a discussion, the detachment you said, I still can't do it, old man, now I have abandoned all fame and fortune, but I can't leave my children and grandchildren." After that, Zhang Yunheng picked up the wine bowl, poured a bowl of wine into his mouth, and then lay on the table and began to fall asleep.
Xin Yifan wanted to help him, but Xu Changfeng raised his hand to stop him: "Just let him take a rest, he's not drunk, he's tired, just take a rest." ”
Master Yuanjue said, "Fellow Daoist, can you teach me?"
Xu Changfeng pointed to his head and said: "I'm looking for the various manifestations of consciousness, and the question of whether consciousness can travel through time and space, those who have disappeared may have gone to other dimensions." This universe is empty, and some places are cold, if you don't drink, how can you continue to look for it. ”
"Fellow Daoist, what are your plans for the next step?" asked Yuan Jue again.
Xu Changfeng looked at Xin Yifan, his expression became a little complicated, even Yuan Jue looked at Xin Yifan, and looked at Xin Yifan a little hairy, and said in his heart, why are Xu Changfeng and Yuan Jue looking at themselves like this, are they drunk?
"There are thousands of threads on his body, entangled in time and space, I can't understand it, and I have to clarify some threads. Xu Changfeng's words made Xin Yifan stunned again.
Xin Yifan only felt that he was a little drunk and dizzy, after listening to Xu Changfeng's words, he saw Yuan Jue nodding as well, and then Xin Yifan fell on the wine table and snorted like Zhang Yunheng.
