Chapter 86 is a little bigger
Hearing Zhang Shuting's question, Shopkeeper Li couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know why the owner suddenly remembered to ask about wine at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but when he was stunned, he heard Zhang Shuting suddenly ask:
"Is there any wine from five or six years ago?"
"If you want to say the oldest wine, fifteen or sixteen years ago, there are still a few jars of wine." Seeing Zhang Shuting ask again, Shopkeeper Li thought about it and replied with some hesitation.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Shuting heard this, he almost sat up from the kang happily.
"That's the best shopkeeper Li, please take some now, I want to drink a bowl." Zhang Shuting said eagerly.
"- What's the matter? At the dinner table, I persuaded you to drink but you didn't drink, your stomach was pulled like this, you want to drink?! When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he was even more puzzled.
Zhang Shuting couldn't smile, but he didn't want to explain more, so he still urged:
"Please ask Shopkeeper Li to go and get some for me to drink!"
is also worried that Zhang Shuting will not be able to explain if there is something wrong with him. Therefore, seeing Zhang Shuting urging, Shopkeeper Li still did not move, not only did not move, but also persuaded Zhang Shuting in turn:
"It's not that I don't want to go to the owner, you are the way you are, if you drink some more wine, you will hurt your body!"
After speaking, he said:
"It's better to be like this, wait for the dawn, I invited Lang Zhong to cure your stomach, and then set up a banquet, how about you drink happily then?"
Zhang Shuting heard this, and shook his head helplessly. That's when he told him why he wanted to drink. It turned out that on his ancestors, there was a home remedy for diarrhea. This home remedy is nothing else, that is, when there is no food left in the stomach, and then drink a bowl of old wine, preferably stored for more than five years. When this bowl of wine is drunk, even Lang Zhong will have diarrhea that is difficult to cure, and he will get better soon.
I also want to make my stomach get better as soon as possible, so that I can set off early tomorrow morning, and rush to Handan County before the fifty-seventh birthday of the old governor Wang Qintang, I also feel that this method is just a home remedy handed down by my ancestors after all, and I haven't seen anyone really try it, I don't know if this bowl of wine will work after drinking. Therefore, seeing that Shopkeeper Li looked worried, he was reluctant to take it. Zhang Shuting had to say it.
It is precisely because I have never seen anyone try it, and after listening to Zhang Shuting, Shopkeeper Li is even more responsible. So it still didn't move.
At this time, in addition to Shopkeeper Li, there were also Qi Zhankui and Xiao Luo who slept in the same room with them. As soon as the two of them saw that it was not yet dawn, Zhang Shuting had already run to the thatched house, and was lying in the bed worrying about him. At the same time, it is the same as Shopkeeper Li's idea, preparing to ask Lang Zhong to treat his stomach again as soon as the day is bright. The conversation between Zhang Shuting and Shopkeeper Li was also heard by the two of them.
"Where is the wine where Shopkeeper Li is there? I'll go with you to get it! ”
If you talk about it, the one who knows Zhang Shuting's mind the most, it has to be said that it is Qi Zhankui. Seeing that Zhang Shuting insisted on drinking this bowl of wine, he knew that persuasion was useless. Therefore, seeing that Zhang Shuting finished speaking, Shopkeeper Li still looked worried, hesitated and refused to take it, so he couldn't help but get out of the quilt, and said decisively.
As soon as Shopkeeper Li saw that Qi Zhankui was also helping Zhang Shuting speak, he couldn't help but become more anxious, but just as he wanted to say something, he was signaled by Qi Zhankui, meaning that he should not say anything, but go and get the wine quickly. At this time, I saw Xiao Luo bowing in the bed, and he was not getting up, nor was he up, so he called Xiao Luo again.
"Let's go—Xiao Luo, let's go get wine with Shopkeeper Li!" Qi Zhankui said.
Xiao Luo is such a shrewd person, knowing that Qi Zhankui is doing this, it is entirely because he knows Zhang Shuting's temper, don't look at this owner's kind speech, it is good for the guys, but there is a stubbornness and willfulness in his bones. Besides, for people who drink shochu, a bowl of wine can be as bad as it is.
However, when he saw that the big shopkeeper Qi Zhankui and his buddy Xiao Luo were going to fetch wine with him, Shopkeeper Li was a little panicked, and hurriedly shook his hand and said:
"No, no, the big shopkeeper and Xiao Luo's guys are still resting, I'll call the two guys to get up and dig it."
At this time, everyone also knew that the fifteen-year-old wine that Shopkeeper Li said was indeed not kept in the warehouse or any other room, but buried under the jujube tree in the courtyard.
Of course, these wines were buried there, not because of anything else, but in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu, that is, the year of the Boxer Rebellion, the Li family was worried that those people who were making trouble with the Boxers nearby would take all the semicolon wine to the altar, so they quietly buried most of the semicolon wine deep into the ground. Later, Maozi came, and he was worried that he would be robbed by Maozi, so he kept buried in the ground and never got out.
Later, when the world was too peaceful, although some of it was produced, because he felt that the wine that had been raised was better than the wine that had not been buried in the ground, he left a few jars of wine in the ground, and never came out of it, so as to be ready to entertain the guests. Yesterday, it was another entry into the Daofu, and it was Zhang Shuting's injury and fever, so he forgot about it in a hurry. So, at this time, these wines have been buried in the ground for fifteen or sixteen years.
At this time, looking at the sky outside, it will soon light up. So, Shopkeeper Li called two guys from the next room, found a pickaxe, and there was a burst of planing under a big jujube tree in the courtyard. Of course, Qi Zhankui and Xiao Luo did not continue to lie in the house, and also came out.
At this time, as a half-man deep earth pit was dug out, and further down, a black pottery altar soon appeared. Looking at the mouth of the altar again, he used an equally black porcelain bowl to buckle it, opened the black bowl, and saw that the mouth of the altar below was sealed by several layers of oiled paper.
After bringing a jar of wine into the house, Zhang Shuting actually went to the thatched house again. At this time, lying on the kang already felt that there was no strength at all. So, the man who saw the semicolon carried a jar of wine into the house, and wanted to sit up, but he didn't move.
"Xiao Luo, quickly open the wine and pour me a bowl." Zhang Shuting saw that Xiao Luo also followed, so he weakly instructed Xiao Luo Dao.
Xiao Luo stepped forward in a few steps, took down the black porcelain bowl, and then tore off the oiled paper sealed at the mouth of the altar a few times. When the mouth of the altar is opened, I smell an intoxicating aroma of wine, which slowly spreads from light to thick in the cold air. When Xiao Luo hugged the wine jar and poured the wine out of the pottery jar, the aroma of wine in the house became even stronger. For a while, everyone smelled it, and they couldn't help but subconsciously take a few deep breaths.
At this time, I saw that Zhang Shuting on the kang was also helped by Qi Zhankui to sit up, and with the help of the oil lamp still lit in the room, I saw that Zhang Shuting had lost a lot of weight in just one night, and his eyes were already a little big, but at this time, they looked even bigger.
