Chapter Twenty-Six: The Judgment of the Crowd

Out of the county seat of Yang YG Valley, after the Jade Emperor Temple, and then half a mile forward, there is a wine shop under the hill only to see, and the lookout rod is picked out in front of the door, and the wine is hung and floats in the air. There are five words written on the top of the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info "Three bowls are not enough."

Jiao Ting saw it and said secretly: "It's such a big breath, but it's just a village brew from a roadside wine shop under the hill, and it dares to play such a signboard." ”

Ximen Qing took a look, it was here, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiao, Brother Xue is here, I heard that the wine here is good, but I haven't been here, I might as well go in and eat him today." After speaking, he pointed to Jingyanggang and said: "Two gentlemen, the wine shop in front is close to the hill, the scenery is quite pleasant, you and I sit by the window, enjoy the scenery and talk, and then eat three or two glasses of wine, it is a good place to relieve worries." ”

When Xue Yong heard that there was good wine, he couldn't help the wine worm in his heart for a long time, so he only nodded again and again and said yes, Jiao Ting was new, and naturally Ximen Qing was the main one, but Han De catered to him: "It's a matter of worrying about Ximen Dalang, although it is located in the middle of nowhere, it is also a quiet place, and you should eat a few more glasses later." ”

Fu Ping listened to the words, and also agreed a little, there are fewer people here, there is no noise in the county, although it is late autumn, the grass and trees on the roadside are a little dead, but there is a lot of fun, this situation: "When the floating white!" ”

Before entering the door, a bartender from the store had already greeted him, sang a fat promise, and said with a smile on his face: "A few officials and heroes, there is a private room upstairs, please take a seat." ”

Ximenqing nodded in response, and just asked him to lead the way. When I went to the second floor of the wine shop, I followed the path on one side, leaned on the hill on the other hand, there were many pines and cypresses on the hill, and it was still lush at this time.

A few people sat down, and the bartender came up to greet them, "A few officials and heroes, what kind of wine can you eat?" What do you want to eat? ”

Ximen Qingyan said: "I smell your wine on weekdays, and I invite everyone to eat it today, just put on the old wine 'through the bottle', don't put on other drinks, first go to the two triangles to taste, and then teach to make three points and add spicy red and white fish soup, I want fresh fish, don't drop the pickled one last night, it's not refreshing, it's not delicious." Come to a plate of steamed lamb, I want that delicious, I don't eat the old ones, there is no shortage of preserved fruits and vegetables, all pick up fresh ones, I want to sometimes new fruits, and take a few to refresh them, and what good dishes are left, don't ask more. "Throw out a certain amount of silver," this is the fixed money, pick up the good one, and then count the money with you." ”

The bartender took the silver, knowing that these people could not be lazy, nodded and agreed, and after a short time came up with the sifted wine, and the few meat, fruits and vegetables were all together. Ximen Qingyan said: "The bartender, you go, if you want to fill the wine and add meat, I will call you again." The bartender answered and went downstairs.

Ximenqing raised his glass and said a few polite words: "I have only heard your name every day, but I have never visited you, I don't want to win the lottery today, so that I am happy in my heart, come on, let's have a drink first, hehe...... I heard that when this wine is first tasted, it is the most mellow and delicious. ”

The five of them raised their glasses and drank them all. After eating, they all shouted "Good wine!" ”

Fu Ping praised: "It turned out that I heard Ximen Dalang say that there is good wine here, and I didn't believe it in my heart, but now I know that I have wronged a good person, come and ask for another drink." ”

Everyone drank another glass, Xue Yong was a little anxious, and shouted: "Such a good wine, it's just that the price of a small cup is not very refreshing, it is better to change to a big bowl to eat." ”

Ximenqing smiled: "It's okay." The bartender came up and said, "I only put two bowls in front of the two gentlemen, and a big bowl in front of the two heroes." The bartender answered, and went down to get the bowl.

After a while, the bartender sifted the wine and changed the big bowl, and Jiao Ting said in his heart: "This brother Simon is really a lover, knowing our temperament, it is not strange, it is not an ordinary person's twisted attitude, he is a good man who can communicate with each other." ”

Everyone ate a few more glasses of wine and told some interesting things about the past, Ximen Qing was in the period, sometimes listening to Fu Ping's guidance, passionate words, sometimes telling Han De some interesting anecdotes elsewhere, talking about the customs and mountains and rivers in various places, or with Jiao Ting and Xue Yong, competing with guns and sticks, laughing and scolding and commenting on the green forest heroes in the rivers and lakes. On erudition, article rhetoric, wisdom and wit he is not as good as Fu Ping, on the **** of knowledge, everywhere terroir, he is not as good as Han De, competing with guns and sticks, experience in the rivers and lakes, not as good as Xue Yong, Jiao Ting, but with his own thousands of years of experience in later generations, although he does not speak much, he can always say that other people's hearts, so that people bow down or shoot the case, although the four people have different personalities and different hobbies, but Ximenqing can always say a few words, let him be a confidant, three or five cups down, Xue Yongzi needless to say, he has long regarded Ximenqing as a confidant brother, The rest of the people suddenly felt that they had a deep friendship with him, and they hated to see each other late.

Talking about the rise, not long after, the two buckets of wine were gone, a few people were talking about the fun, where was willing to stop drinking, Ximenqing shouted, and called the bartender to fill the wine.

Seeing this, the bartender said: "A few officials, if you want some mutton and fish soup, fresh fruits and vegetables, the villain will fill it by himself, and if you want wine, it will be gone." “

Xue Yong was also a little drunk at this time, and said slightly angrily: "I know that you call three bowls here, and I also know that although your wine is a village wine, it tastes better than the old wine; But if a customer comes to your shop and eats three bowls, he will be drunk and will not be able to go to the hill in front of him: hence the name 'three bowls but not Gang'. If a passing guest comes here and only eats three bowls, he will not ask again. But how many of me have ever been drunk? Besides, you need to know who this brother of mine is. ”

Although the bartender lives in the village liquor store, Ximen Qing Daimyo is known to the population of YG Prefecture as early as YG, and everyone calls him a good man, so how can the bartender not know that the faceless tiger Shen Zhong Liquor was defeated under his hands? Therefore, he was embarrassed.

Ximen Qing bowed to his hands, didn't want Xue Yong to bully others, and said softly: "Little second brother just cares about going, a little silver will reward you, a few of us will get drunk when we eat, and someone will come to greet us, but if you don't eat well, your skin will not look good." ”

The bartender took the money and said, "How can I not recognize the Ximen officials and all the good men, but the head of the house ordered not to let a few people get drunk, otherwise it will be difficult to explain." But since the official Ximen said so, I'll just serve a few more bowls. ”

Xue Yongjiu said: "You call it three bowls but not the post, I don't go to other counties after eating, I don't have to go to the post, I just eat drunk, and I don't want you to care about someone to help, don't be noisy and only care about the wine, and then a plate of mutton to drink." ”

The bartender knew that this guy was not easy to mess with, and when he saw him rising, he had to be persuaded by Ximen Qing with kind words, and he went to two corners again, but he only reported it to the shopkeeper. When the shopkeeper heard this, he didn't do anything but tell him to greet carefully.

A few people drank until nightfall, by this time, Han De had already been drunk and unconscious, and Fu Ping with the help of wine, poetry flourished, and immediately composed a poem, but it is a pity that a few rude men could not understand, and although Ximen Qing was happy, he did not pay much attention to it, only read a few words, praised a few words, and forgot about it.

……………………

After a night of drinking, Fu Ping praised Ximen Qingnian quite well, and Second Uncle Fu asked: "Why did you eat so much wine last night, and why did you praise Ximen Dalang so much." He knew that his nephew was arrogant, and he didn't want to love Ximenqing so much.

Fu Ping said: "I thought that Ximenqing was a rude businessman, and I didn't want to see him for the first time, chic and handsome, so I knew that he was extraordinary, and then I ate wine, and then I knew that he was heroic, knowledgeable ****, and he was really a masterpiece in ten thousand." ”

Second Uncle Fu exclaimed: "There is no one in ten thousand? He watched Ximenqing grow up, but he didn't know that Ximenqing had such a ability, he just thought he was a rich man who was a good boxer and didn't know how to operate. A one-in-a-million masterpiece? This seems to be too high.

Fu Ping said: "I talk to him about poetry and songs, article rhetoric, although he occasionally speaks amazingly, but not as good as me, but to talk about the political gains and losses of the previous dynasties, the current political pros and cons of the current court situation, the corruption of officials, he is ten times better than me, and then talk about erudition, although Han Jiazi knows a lot, but he doesn't understand much, the ear of empty knowledge, not a great talent, and Ximen Dalang has not traveled far, but he can draw inferences, is a genius, and then said that guns and sticks martial arts, micro talents, not to the elegant hall, at most a hundred enemies, Ximen Qing is only rough, but the military strategy, Camp grain and grass, he said that the head is the Tao, this is the enemy of ten thousand, the general is also, just ask, only a young man who is less than two ten, how can he have such insight is not a unique person, but it is a pity ......"

"It's a pity...... Second Uncle Fu asked anxiously, he never thought that Ximen Qing had such a ability.

"It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the imperial examination all the way, although he is also powerful, but he has no intention of officialdom, weird, weird!" Fu Ping shook his head, he was very sorry for Ximenqing.

Second Uncle Fu said: "Maybe like you, you have seen through the sinister and dirty officialdom? ”

Fu Ping shook his head and said, "He's different from me. As for the difference, he refused to say anything more.

And after Han De went home, he never spoke at length, but just studied the sages, and said: "Talking to Ximen Dalang makes people forget tiredness, and they don't feel the passage of day and night, they are really heroes of my generation." ”

As for Xue Yong and Jiao Ting, there is only one thought: "Brother Ximen is a good man who is extravagant, I will give him my life, and I will not regret it in this life!" Don't worry about having a rich future. ”
