Chapter 62: The Old Man, Mr. Tong
After the cowherd finished drinking, his eyes lit up, as if he had drunk the high-grade Qiong brewed jade liquid, he clicked his mouth, the aroma of the wine was still there, and he couldn't help but take another sip, but he still didn't enjoy it, and drank all the bowl of wine into his stomach in one go, and he was addicted, "Brother Yue, this wine is also brewed by yourself?" ”
Yue Kang also took a sip and said with a smile: "How about Brother Niu, can I get into your mouth." ”
"That's too mouthy, too delicious, come and pour me a bowl, I've never drunk such a delicious wine, now I say that the old cow is ready to get drunk, haha......" Cowherd laughed and said, he is also a wine lover, he has not drunk the wine in the north and south of the river, he has almost tasted it once, the wine he drank before is compared with what he drinks now, the wine he used to drink is like boiled water, colorless and tasteless, and now the wine is quite swinging back to the intestines, the aroma of the wine is overflowing, it is really unforgettable.
That's what men drink! Enough strength.
Compared with the Du Kang that the guests drank just now, the Cowherd also drank Du Kang two days ago, and the question of the wine was enough to shock him, but he didn't expect this wine to taste better today.
The Cowherd fixed his eyes on the words written on the wine jar, "Old Baigan." "It's really strong.
The taste of this wine is indeed the same as the taste of Lao Baigan in that world, Yue Kang directly named Lao Baigan, because this wine is not easy to brew, so this wine is not sold at all, and Yue Kang enjoys it himself after brewing, so people who are not close to Yue Kang can't drink this kind of wine with a unique taste in this era.
Yue Kang poured a good wine, took it up and toasted the cowherd, joking that Brother Niu's safety in the future can be handed over to you, the latter drank the wine and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, the matter of being drunk for thousands of miles is the matter of my big knife gang, Brother Yue, you can rest assured.
Yue Kang toasted Mu Dan again, Yue Kang originally wanted to be polite with Mu Dan, but seeing that the other party had no intention of talking, he didn't say much and drank together.
At the wine table, Yue Kang and the Cowherd were talking and laughing, while Mu Dan sat majestically and silently, and his eyes drifted obliquely from time to time, full of vigilance.
Yue Kang was surprised in his heart, with such a professional surname, it is difficult to become a Mudan who used to do this business, Yue Kang thought of the cowherd and said that Mudan's martial arts were simply terrible, what was the identity of the person who was protected by Mudan before, it is estimated that the average great family can't afford to hire such a character!
"This wine is fragrant and pleasant, and I am intoxicated when I smell it, I wonder if the old man is blessed to drink a glass?"
Just as Yue Kang was talking to the Cowherd, an old man with an elegant appearance and a bookish style walked over, the old man was in his sixties, his eyebrows were incorruptible, and he was a very learned master from the outside, and he had a bit of a fairy wind and bones.
The old man politely bowed to Yue Kang and the others, and his face was gentle.
I can't see a little rustic atmosphere from the old man, Yue Kang saw this person at first glance, and he felt that he was very much like a worldly master of great wisdom and wisdom on TV.
"If the old gentleman is interested in having a few drinks with us, we are naturally welcome." Yue Kang also said politely.
At the moment, Yue Kang is the owner of the restaurant, and the Cowherd did not speak very interestingly, but just smiled at the old man.
The old man sat down naturally, elegant and casual.
Yue Kang always felt that the old man was not an ordinary person, so he let him do it, otherwise he had to go through nine times of cooking, eight times of fermentation, and seven times of wine to brew the old white dry, which was not so casual for people to drink.
"I don't know what the old gentleman is called." Yue Kang asked.
The old man smiled calmly and said, "People who know me call me a child. ”
Yue Kang specially asked people to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and after filling the old man with wine, he picked up his wine and said: "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, Mr. Tong invites ......."
The old man also picked up the wine and made a gesture of please, the cowherd and the wooden slip also served it together, and the four of them collided slightly and drank a sip each.
After the old man finished drinking, he praised: "Soft and bright opposite, soft and entangled, it is really soft in the mouth, a line of throat, good wine, good wine." ”
"The tender cold lock dream is cold because of the spring, and the aroma is the fragrance of wine, if the sky does not recognize the beauty of the wine, there is no good wine spring on the ground." The old man closed his eyes and felt the sweetness brought by the wine, and chanted.
After listening to Tong Lao's poem, Yue Kang was surprised that this Tong Lao's knowledge was no less than that of Zhen Guyue in Jingzhou, and he said: "Mr. Tong is really good at writing, come and do another one." Yue Kang raised the wine bowl again.
Tong Lao did not shirk his pretentiousness, and did everything with Yue Kang.
"I don't know where Mr. Tong is? It's not like I'm from Soraku-gun! Yue Kang asked.
Tong Lao smiled, "Yes, the old man is indeed not a person from Xiangle County, if you ask about your identity, just think of me as a wanderer, occasionally selling calligraphy and paintings on the street to earn some meals." Tong Lao Wenya said, after he sat down, he looked at Yue Kang carefully, he felt like an ordinary person, very easy-going, without a little arrogance that a talented person should have, could his knowledge really be as good as his granddaughter said?
Yue Kang smiled knowingly and said, "Junior Yue Kang, these two are my brothers, and it is an honor to know Mr. Tong." ”
"Hey, this is wrong, since everyone is destined to get together where the younger elders are called, don't look at the old and old, but the heart is not old, if you don't dislike and call me Brother Tong, I will call you Brother Yue, no." Tong Lao said.
Yue Kang was not pretentious, and immediately said: "Come to Brother Tong, a toast to our gathering today." After Yue Kang finished speaking, he first acted as a respect, and casually put the mouth of the bowl downward.
Tong Lao shouted happily, sat with a few young people as if he was much younger all of a sudden, and also dried up a bowl of wine, and the cowherd and the wooden dan did not show weakness.
After Yue Kang and Tong Lao finished drinking, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and found that the other party was also looking at him with a kind of acquaintance and hatred, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
The Cowherd saw that Yue Kang and Tong Lao were chatting hotly, and the topic of the two literati sitting together was really a headache for him, and he didn't understand it, and he didn't bother to listen, you don't drink this good wine, I drank it, and after the Cowherd drank a bowl, he poured a bowl for himself, and he asked Mu Dan to drink, and Mu Dan said that he couldn't drink it anymore, so he wiped out half a jar of wine by himself for a while, and when it was really boring, he found the two people who were chatting about it to do a bowl.
"Come to Brother Tong and have another drink, it's really a thousand cups of wine and confidants, and the words are not speculative for more than half a sentence, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet Brother Tong today!" Yue Kang said.
"A good wine confidant has a thousand glasses less, and he doesn't speculate more than half a sentence, it's good to say, Brother Yue is really a talented person." Tong Lao said sincerely.
Yue Kang smiled modestly.
After drinking, Tong Lao said: "Junior Brother Yue, the couplet that went to the third floor was from you. Although Tong Lao already knew that it was written by Yue Kang, he still wanted to confirm it.
"Little brother, don't you just offer ugliness, I hope that Brother Tong won't make jokes." Yue Kang said.
"Brother dare to laugh at Brother Yue, that couplet is a pair of superiors, and now the elder brother can't come out! Haha, brother for so many years, there are few pairs that can't be right, admire and admire! Tong Lao said ashamedly.
While the two were talking, a young man with a panicked and sweaty look quickly ran towards Yue Kang's side.
Mu Dan's expression tightened, and he stood up suddenly, and wanted to step forward to intercept the people who ran, but the Cowherd also stood up with a tense expression.
Yue Kang hurriedly said: "It's my own person." ”
The two sat down.
Yue Kang saw from afar that the person who came was Xiao Shun who knew ventriloquism, Yue Kang wondered in his heart that a few days ago he asked Xiao Shun to accompany the eldest lady to the kiln factory, and he was a little busy during this time, so Xiao Shun ran errands for the eldest lady, how did he come back, and his expression was so flustered, Yue Kang had an ominous premonition.
"Aunt... Uncle....Oh no, no..."Xiao Shun gasped and said.
