Chapter 47: Master Huo, Please
Chapter 47: Master Huo, please
Zhang Shuting talked to Huo Luomao on the night of Qi Zhankui's return, and it was also the day after Zhang Shuting returned from the capital.
At this time, it is really inappropriate to talk to Huo Luomao. said that it was not suitable, and it was not quite, this was the shopkeeper Qi Zhankui and Zhang Shuting who had just come back from outside. At the end of this day, there was almost no wine on Huo Luomao's mouth.
Huo Luomao was desperate at that time, and he also said cruel things at the moment, saying that I, Huo Luomao, have always behaved in a proper manner, and I didn't offend the gods on the road, how could I torture me like this! Isn't it okay if I don't do it anymore!
But at this time, he heard that the owner was going to talk to him at home, and Huo Luomao immediately guessed what he was going to talk about. In other words, even if Zhang Shuting doesn't talk to him, he is ready to talk to Zhang Shuting.
Therefore, before leaving, he asked his men to pack their own things, saying that when the owner came back from talking to him, everyone should be ready to leave.
Huo Luomao planned to do this, not only did he plan like this, but he had already imagined that at this time, it was probably not only the owner Zhang Shuting who was waiting for him in the courtyard of the owner, but also the account man Zhang Yushu. Not only the gentleman in the account room, but also the people who burn the pot all know that the owner is close to Qi Zhankui, the shopkeeper of the store, and it is not good to say that the shopkeeper will also be present.
It should be said that he saw such a scene once a few years ago, when Zhang Shuting and his father Zhang Genmao were in charge of the pot. At that time, the other master in charge of the mouth was not Cui Dahai, but another soju master surnamed Jiang.
He clearly remembered that at that time, the situation of Master Jiang was even better than he was at this time, but he was suddenly called by his old club Zhang Genmao, and without saying three words, the old club asked his soju team to roll up and leave. The master surnamed Jiang had just left, and Cui Dahai and the others also entered the pot.
Needless to say, at this time, Zhang Shuting had already found another class of soju masters, maybe he was waiting outside the gate at this time, just waiting to talk to himself, let himself roll up and leave, and the group of people came in with a "hula".
In fact, what Huo Luomao can't stand the most should be this moment. Think about myself from the age of seventeen with the neighboring village Zhengjiazhuang Master Zheng, that is, the current father-in-law Zheng Yonghuai to run the spring spring pot on the retort on the shochu, step by step from the bellows to burn the fire, to the pond and step on the pool, and then to the retort to pick wine, until ten years ago, the old man was old, returned to his hometown, and became the master of the shochu on the retort, a total of 23 years.
In the last ten years of twenty-three years, it can be said that he led a group of apprentices to dominate this retort and never lost to another retort, but this time, not only did he lose, but he also lost so badly.
So, thinking of this, Huo Luomao couldn't help but smile miserably.
But when he passed through the back door with a heavy heart and came to Zhang Shuting's house, he saw that the upper room where the two old ladies lived was brightly lit, and the east wing where Zhang Shuting lived was also brightly lit.
Looking at it again, I saw that the eldest old lady was teasing Zhang Shuting's two children in the upper room, and the second old lady, who was Zhang Shuting's biological mother, and Zhang Shuting were serving food and wine from the upper room to the eight immortal tables in the east wing.
Huo Luomao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it. For a while, I didn't know what medicine Zhang Shuting was going to sell in this gourd.
Seeing Huo Luomao coming in, Zhang Shuting hurriedly greeted him and asked Huo Luomao to sit in the east chamber. Huo Luomao was not polite, but went to the upper room first, greeted the two old ladies, and then came to the east wing to sit.
When I came to the East Wing, I didn't see the shadow of Mr. Zhang or Qi Zhankui in the tent room. The two sat down, and Zhang Shuting hurriedly poured wine for Huo Luomao and filled it for himself.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhang Shuting pick up the wine cup and said:
"After coming back from the capital, I saw that Master Huo was haggard, and I knew that Master Huo had broken his heart these days because of the things in his mouth. Therefore, I invited Master Huo over today, just to have a drink with Master Huo to relieve my boredom. So, I'll give Master Huo a drink first, and make a start! ”
After that, Zhang Shuting raised the wine cup and drank it all first.
When Huo Luomao saw it, he also picked it up very simply, and poured a cup of wine into his stomach in one gulp. Zhang Shuting hurriedly poured him full again:
"This second cup, also since my father passed away, I haven't sat down to drink wine with Master Huo and apologize!"
After that, Zhang Shuting drank it all again.
When Huo Luomao saw it, he picked it up very simply, and poured the second cup of wine into his stomach in one gulp.
But Zhang Shuting didn't mention his father, didn't say that he hadn't drunk with him, Huo Luomao just didn't say anything, he just wanted Zhang Shuting to finish speaking, or talk again or leave again.
But as soon as Zhang Shuting mentioned this, Huo Luomao was a little angry, angry and angry, it was originally a matter of retorts, why did he say no, and went around this bend again. In other words, it may be nothing for others to listen to, but Huo Luomao, who was in a very bad mood at this time, heard it, but felt extremely uncomfortable.
Therefore, seeing Zhang Shuting raise his chopsticks again and persuade himself to pick up the vegetables, Huo Luomao shook his hand, but took the wine jug and filled it alone, regardless of Zhang Shuting, he drank it all alone, and after drinking, he "snapped" it again, and put the wine cup on the table, he didn't want to speak, but he couldn't help but open his mouth at this time:
"The owner, it's not that I rely on the old man to sell you and talk about you, if you have something to say, just give me Huo Luomao directly, you said it directly, I think you look up to me Huo Luomao. When the old club was alive, he just had something to say, he should be rewarded and punished, who should be let go, and he also told him unceremoniously to get out, never beating around the bush, and we were happy in our hearts! ”
And again:
"We are all rough people, we don't like to go around the bend, and when you go around, it makes me uncomfortable!"
After saying that, he said:
"Don't hide it from the owner, before I came to this courtyard, I said that they would pack up their things, and now I just wait for the owner's words."
It's okay if Huo Luomao doesn't say this, but when Huo Luomao says this, Zhang Shuting is stunned. was stunned, shook his head and smiled helplessly.
If you want to say what Huo Luomao said just now, three days ago, Lao Sun also said it. It seems that I and my guys must change the way they speak.
After thinking about it like this, Zhang Shuting smiled again, and after laughing, he poured the wine for Huo Luomao again, then poured it for himself, and then drank it all again, and after pouring it again, he said:
"I know that Master Huo is a cheerful person, but I really didn't want to go around in circles with Master Huo today. I just want to drink with Master Huo and talk about it. ”
And again:
"Since Master Huo said so, then I really want to ask, has Master Huo's family been in trouble these days?"
When he heard this, he was stunned and said:
"No, last night, I sent my youngest son home to see it, the family is fine!"
"Really not?!" Zhang Shuting asked again.
Holomao shook his head very resolutely and said:
"No is no, can I still tell nonsense!"
"Good!" Zhang Shuting subconsciously clapped his hands and said, "Even if Master Huo says no, then Master Huo can pay attention to the 'yellow water' in the cellar and urn, does it taste wrong?" ”
