Chapter 122: Chen Lang's Statement
Soon, Yue'er walked in with two refined steaks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She first put a steak in front of Chen Lang and said softly: "Big shopkeeper, please use it slowly!" ”
Chen Lang smiled and nodded, but did not make a sound.
Then, Yue'er gently put another steak in front of Uncle Mei, and said softly: "Uncle Mei, thank you." As he spoke, his face flushed unnaturally.
Uncle Mei shook his hand and said softly: "Miss Yue'er, some small things are not enough to worry about." ”
Yue'er bowed deeply to Uncle Mei, turned around and left lightly.
Uncle Mei looked at Yue'er's back and sighed softly and said, "Alas! And he was silent.
Chen Lang glanced at Uncle Mei and said, "Why does Uncle Mei sigh!" ”
Uncle Mei shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the god of fate is so unfair sometimes?" ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei, it seems that you are complaining for Miss Yue'er." ”
Uncle Mei nodded and said, "I just feel that Creation is so tricky, and it makes such a weak girl bear some cruelty that should not be borne by her." ”
Chen Lang smiled: "I didn't expect Uncle Mei to have such a heart of pity and cherishment. ”
Uncle Mei said a little embarrassed: "There, there, I just feel a little sorry for Miss Yue'er!" ”
At this moment, Qiu Ju walked in with two jade cups in her left hand and a large sheepskin bag in her right hand and said, "Big shopkeeper, the wine is here." ”
Chen Lang said: "Okay, just put it on the table, you go and get busy!" ”
Qiu Ju smiled and put the jade cup and sheepskin mouth on the table, bowed slightly, and exited the box.
Chen Lang picked up the sheepskin bag, untied the pocket rope made of the sheep's intestines tightly tied to the pocket, poured wine into the two jade cups, and suddenly a clear aroma of wine wafted out, Uncle Mei snorted hard and said, "Good wine!" Wine! This must be the Turpan grape wine of the Western Regions that has been stored in the kiln for more than ten years. ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei is worthy of being a well-informed person, and he immediately smelled that this is a fine wine that has been stored in the kiln for more than ten years. Yes, this is indeed a Western Regions grape wine that has been cellared for 11 years. ”
Uncle Mei said: "This is the best wine, it is difficult to see it on the market, and only the palace can have this wine." ”
Chen Lang said: "Yes, this is still a gift from the Lord of Long Live to my father five years ago, and my father was not willing to drink it, and he has kept it to this day." ”
Uncle Mei smiled: "It seems that I am really lucky to be able to taste the things in this palace." I have to thank your family Elder Chen for that. ”
Chen Lang said: "Isn't it just a bag of wine, there is something to thank you for." He pointed to the jade cup and said: "Tang Dynasty poetry grape wine luminous cup, although I Chen Lang does not have the precious luminous cup, but these two jade cups are also carved from Hetian jade, and it is reasonable to match this wine." ”
Uncle Mei nodded and said, "Yes, this wine is poured into this jade cup, showing a crystal amber color, which makes people salivate when they look at it." ”
Chen Lang raised his glass and said, "Respectful of fine wine, come, Uncle Mei, let's have a drink." ”
Uncle Mei said: "Thank you so much! As he spoke, the two jade cups touched lightly, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and drank a cup together.
Uncle Mei smacked his lips and said, "Tsk! Wine! I haven't had such a good wine in years. ”
Chen Lang said: "The sword is given to the hero, the wine is rewarded to the confidant, I hope that from now on, we can become good friends who have nothing to say." ”
Uncle Mei nodded again and again: "Okay, the shopkeeper Chen is really a man of temperament, and it is really a pleasure to be able to meet and drink with you." ”
After the two drank a few more glasses of wine, Chen Lang said, "Uncle Mei, you really have the style of Meng Wei." ”
Uncle Mei said: "How do you say this? ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei, look at what happened to Yue'er just now, although you don't know each other, you can be generous, isn't this what Meng tasted?" ”
Uncle Mei smiled: "There, there, how can you say that I don't know Yue'er!" Every time I come, she can send me warm service, for such a kind girl, it is unreasonable not to lend a hand. ”
Chen Lang said tentatively: "It seems that Miss Yue'er's service is still very satisfactory to you." ”
Uncle Mei said: "This is not only satisfied or dissatisfied, but the most important thing is that Miss Yue'er is very similar to an old friend of mine, so when I saw her, I felt an unimaginable emotion in my heart." Chen Lang said: "So beautiful uncle, I don't know where your old man is now, if she knows that you care about her so much, she will definitely feel very happy in her heart." ”
Uncle Mei shook his head painfully and said: "Alas, the end of the world is close at hand, and the competition is like heaven and man forever, don't say it!" Hearing Uncle Mei say this, Chen Lang was even more convinced of his judgment, the old man that Uncle Mei said in his mouth must be Liu E, so he said: "Uncle Mei! Since it is difficult to see the old man again, then I think you might as well recognize Yue'er as a sister to comfort your longing. ”
Uncle Mei said: "It's good, I'm afraid that Yue'er won't want to come, and second, didn't you hear that Yue'er's brother forced her to marry just now!" ”
Chen Lang lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Then Uncle Mei, I heard Yue'er once tell me that you have recently lost your good mate, you are alone, I think it is better for you to receive Yue'er to the house?" First, it solves your longing for the old man, and secondly, the girl has a good home. ”
Uncle Mei shook his head and said, "Big shopkeeper, this can't be done." I'm an unfortunate person, one of the two women in front of me doesn't know what happened, and the other has a red face, although Yue'er is from a humble background, no matter how you say it, she is still a yellow flower girl, which is not a good match! ”
Chen Lang said: "What's this, now a rich person like you is not a third wife and four concubines, you are just a successor, I think Yue'er can agree." ”
Uncle Mei blushed and said, "This ...... This ......"
Chen Lang said: "Hi, Uncle Mei! You don't want this or that. If you want, tomorrow I will ask the foreman Qiu Ju girl to ask Yue'er! ”
Uncle Mei secretly said in his heart: "Since this is the case, you can watch it!" ”
Chen Lang said: "So you agreed." ”
Uncle Mei said: "With your big shopkeeper saying this, how can I push three or four more, in that case, I don't know how to lift." ”
Chen Lang said happily: "Okay, since that, let's drink!" ”
Uncle Mei couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and said, "So please ask you Chen Da Shopkeeper, come, drink!" ”
Drink, drink!
Wine is a unique and magical substance. She has the shape of water, the sex of fire, has infinite charm, deeply immersed in life, nourishing people's soul and spirit, is the "old man under the moon" who connects feelings, she brings joy and romance to people's lives, narrows the distance between people, and eliminates the barrier between hearts.
Especially like Chen Lang and Uncle Mei, who have different fates and very different life experiences, the fragrance of wine makes them intoxicated with where they don't meet in life, and they have a feeling of being like old to each other.
Chen Lang, from the status of the eldest son of the Yin family in Kaifeng Mansion, has stepped into the position of the chief shopkeeper of the heavenly and earthly Western restaurant who is self-reliant today, and naturally has a good friendship in his heart.
Uncle Mei, a little silversmith who sells crafts for a living from the streets and alleys, suddenly won the honor of Uncle Guo, although he enjoys endless glory and wealth, but at the same time there is a feeling of being in a high place in his heart, and he dare not tell the truth when he sees people.
The two drank grape wine cup by cup, sighing the joys and hardships of life.
A large parchment pouch of wine was drunk.
Chen Lang shouted Qiu Ju and brought two glasses of wine, and Uncle Mei took a sip of "bah" and spit it out and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, what kind of wine is this, it's like horse urine." ”
Chen Lang said with a smile: "Uncle Mei, this is our original wine, which is what everyone often drinks!" ”
Uncle Mei shook his head: "It's tasteless!" It doesn't have the pure mellow aroma of the wine I just drank. ”
Chen Lang said: "My beautiful uncle, you don't want to drink the wine of the Western Regions." I'll go there and get it for you. ”
Uncle Mei said: "Okay, Chen Da Shopkeeper, that day I will invite you to drink the wine of the Western Regions that has been stored in the kiln for ten years." ”
Chen Lang laughed and said, "Uncle Mei, you just brag!" Don't look at your money, you can't get it for ten years of Western Regions wine. ”
Uncle Mei patted his chest with a drunken "pop" and said: "This is not bragging, I invited you to drink it that day!" If others can't drink it, I, Liu Mei, will definitely be able to drink it. ”
Chen Lang was deliberately surprised and said, "Ah! Uncle Mei, you said your name is Liu Mei! ”
Uncle Mei said: "Yes, my name is Liu Mei!" ”
Chen Lang said: "You are that Liu Mei!" ”
Liu Mei laughed and said: "Haha, I'm that Liu Mei, of course it's Liu Mei who lives in Uncle Guo's Mansion on Sweetwater Street." ”
Chen Lang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, I, Chen Lang, really have eyes and don't know Mount Tai!" Just now, I was a little slow to treat Uncle Guo. ”
Liu Mei shook her head and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, what is it to be slow or not, to be honest, this is the happiest night I have drunk since I came to Bianliang City, Tokyo." If you really treat me as a friend, you should call me Uncle Mei, what kind of uncle is not a big deal. ”
Chen Lang said: "No matter what, you are also a relative of the emperor." ”
Liu Mei smiled bitterly and shook her head: "What do I say about this royal relative!" In fact, it is an impostor. ”
Chen Lang hurriedly said: "Uncle Mei, you can't talk nonsense, if you let others hear it, you can pay it back." ”
Liu Mei felt a little speechless at this time, stretched out her hand and patted her head and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, you see that I drink too much, and my mouth is not a door, so you just listen to me as a drunken talk." ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei, don't worry! ”
Liu Mei covered up and said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I really have drunk a little too much, let's stop here tonight." I went back. ”
Chen Lang said: "Uncle Mei, then I'll let the sedan chair at the door send you back!" ”
Uncle Liu waved his hand and said, "No, I'll walk back by myself, just in time to sober up." "Stand up, walk out of the western restaurant, and walk in the direction of Sweetwater Street.
Chen Lang chased to the door and shouted, "Uncle Mei, you can slow down!" ”
Liu Meitou didn't reply: "It's okay, you go back!" As he spoke, he staggered into the night.
At this time, there were few figures on the street, only the flickering candlelight in the lanterns in front of the shops on the street stretched Liu Mei's shadow very long.
Liu Mei walked to the street step by step, and suddenly a kind of sadness swelled up in her heart, so she walked to a big tree on the side of the street and sat down with her back against the trunk, covered her mouth with both hands and cried, and muttered while crying: "E'er, you are doing well!" ”
There were people in the empty street who answered, and only a few night birds let out a weary cry, which made the night even deeper.
