Chapter 212: Burning Heart Flower Carving
"Young man, this wine is really unusual and unusual!" The white-bearded old man glanced at Elder Hu Jun after drinking a gourd of wine, his face did not change at all, and then he reached out and took the empty gourd handed over by Elder Hu Jun and said:
"So, young man, after you listen to the old man's words, if you still want to buy wine, how about the old man sell you a few more gourds?"
"Okay, it's a deal!" When Elder Hu Jun saw that the white-bearded old man had agreed to sell him wine, he nodded and said with a smile:
"It's just that the old man, you have to say it quickly, the old man is a wine worm in his heart, crawling around, and he really wants to drink more."
"Young man, although the Yangzhou daughter red you said and the daughter red that Lao Yu said have the same name and the same origin, how this wine is made is completely different." The white-bearded old man saw that Elder Hu Jun was begging for wine and talking interestingly, and after a smile appeared on his face, he quickly dimmed and said:
"Lao Yu is a person from Yizhou, and Lao Yu Yizhou also has the habit of making daughters red when they are born, but the daughter red of Lao Yu's hometown is not those rice wines, and our Yizhou daughters are made of our red-skinned sorghum in Yizhou."
"Our red-skinned sorghum in Yizhou is also one of the five grains, also known as millet, so it can also be said that our daughter red is also grain wine." The white-bearded old man stopped listening, and when he saw that Elder Hu Jun was just listening quietly, he didn't mean to interject, so he continued:
"We Yizhou are all fierce men, so we like to drink spirits, the Yangzhou daughter you said is red, glutinous and sweet, we Yizhou is not good for this." The white-bearded old man said more and more smoothly:
"So let's use the local red-skinned sorghum to make wine, and after brewing, we will put it in the jar and bury it, and then dig it out when the daughter is old and get married, and it will be called Yizhou daughter red."
"There are also some who give birth to sons, and when their sons make a move, they will prepare to order good wine and bury it in the ground, and then dig it out when their sons are celebrating their fame. The white-bearded old man saw that he was talking for a long time, and the elder Hu Jun just looked straight at his wine jar, and immediately asked angrily and funny:
"Young man, you said that the wine that was buried when this daughter was born will be dug up and drunk when her daughter grows up and gets married, then it is called daughter red, so if the daughter does not grow up, what will happen to the wine?"
"Ahh What to do? Although Elder Hu Jun's eyes had been staring at the wine vat, he was actually listening to the white-bearded old man, so when the white-bearded old man asked him, he was stunned, and the old man's words were really unexpected:
"This old man doesn't know."
"Alas! The daughter's family is a flower-like person, and if the daughter dies before she grows up in Yizhou, it will be called a flower withering. The white-bearded old man's tone sank, and then Elder Hu Jun's words said:
"So the daughter red is a happy wine, which can refresh the mind and benefit the qi, and belongs to yang wine, but after the daughter dies, the wine dug up after the flowers wither is the mourning wine, but it is sad wine, which is called Huadiao wine, and it belongs to yin wine."
"And that kind of statement?" Hearing the words of the white-bearded old man, Elder Hu Jun immediately removed his eyes from the wine vat in surprise, stared at the white-bearded old man and asked puzzledly:
"Then you say that your wine is Burning in the Valley of Flames, and your real name is Burning Heart Spirits, what do you mean?"
"The old decay has said this, what else can I mean!" The white-bearded old man's lips twitched a few times, and then he pointed to the wine vat in front of him with his dry hand and said:
"This is the flower carving of the old family, and it is also the life of my daughter!"
"Ahh Uncle? Elder Hu Jun was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help staring at the white-bearded old man with a pair of wide eyes, and when he saw that the old man's face didn't seem to be extremely sad, he asked in a tone of disbelief:
"Please forgive the old man, can such wine be sold?"
"Why not?" The white-bearded old man looked at Elder Hu Jun's surprised look, his face remained unchanged, he just raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a little dissatisfaction in his tone:
"In our Yizhou, this kind of Huadiao wine is the best in the wine, it is extremely difficult to see outside, ordinary people can't ask for it, why can't it be sold?"
"No, no! Uncle, you misunderstood what the old man meant! Seeing that the white-bearded old man's tone was wrong, Elder Hu Jun immediately stood up and arched his hand at the white-bearded old man and said:
"The old man is saying, how can you be willing to sell this kind of sad wine?"
"Young man, what do you mean by calling yourself an old man in front of the old man?" The white-bearded old man saw Elder Hu Jun give up, his face was a little better, but his tone was still dissatisfied:
"The old man is forty-nine this year, look at your dignified young man, you should be less than forty, loyalty and filial piety, why are you so ignorant of etiquette?"
"Ahem!" Elder Hu Jun saw that he gave up, and the white-bearded old man was entangled in calling himself an old man, but he thought about how many hundred years he had lived, and the old man, who had not reached the age of half a hundred, was actually dissatisfied with him calling himself an old man in front of him, and said really angrily and funny at the moment:
"Don't hide it from my husband, although the old man looks young, just because he has a good appearance, he is really many miles older than you!"
"Ridiculous, could it be that you are deceiving the old and the old and dizzy, to make fun of the old and the old?" The white-bearded old man stood up suddenly, stared at Elder Hu Jun with a very bad face, and said:
"You go, the old wine won't sell you."
"Alas, alas! Uncle, why are you so impatient? Elder Hu Jun saw that the white-bearded old man seemed to have a temper, and even if he was in a hurry, he just smiled and said:
"As the saying goes, don't blame those who don't know, since you like to call the old man a young man, then the old man will depend on you, and from now on you will not call himself an old man, how about it?"
"Humph!" The white-bearded old man saw that Elder Hu Jun seemed to be very thick-skinned, and he opened his mouth to drive people away, but Elder Hu Jun was like kraft candy, sticking to it, but this white-bearded old man was usually kind and kind, and he was used to reasoning, and when he saw Elder Hu Jun's words, he didn't know how to refute it at the moment, but he still snorted unconvinced in his heart:
"Lao Yu kindly persuaded you to drink less at a time, but you treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, so that as much as you can drink here today, Lao Yu will sell you as much as possible."
"Oh, is that true?" Seeing the puffed up appearance of the white-bearded old man, Elder Hu Jun was overjoyed, grabbed the gold leaf in his hand and handed it over, and said in a loud voice:
"Old man, old man... Oh no, buy this bit of gold first? ”
"If you buy it, you can't return it, and you can't take it away!" The white-bearded old man's beard curled, and he reached out angrily to take Elder Hu Jun's gold leaf, threw it on the ground in front of him, and lifted the big gourd in front of him and handed it to Elder Hu Jun and said:
"This big gourd can fill ten small gourds, just poured a gourd for you, the rest is here, if you want to drink it, drink it here!"
"But don't blame the old man for not telling you, the old man's heart-burning flower carving was purchased by the old man for the little girl back then, and it has been nearly twenty years now, and there is only half a small vat of wine left in this big vt, and the old man only purified the wine inside!" The white-bearded old man saw that Elder Hu Jun didn't say anything, but took the gourd happily, and continued:
"This Yin wine is too drunk, but it will be chaotic, although this Huadiao wine is strong, but it is all Yin Fire, you have to think clearly!"
