After a polite exchange, Song Xiaozi and Wang Tiekou took Li Guo, Hongniangzi and Zabu to Xiangmanlou.

In front of the Xiangmanlou, Li Guo and the red lady stopped and didn't want to enter the door. Just looking at the wine pretense, the two of them knew that this was a very large tavern, and Li Guo and the red lady didn't want Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi to break too much. After all, it is not easy for Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi to make a living by divination.

Why didn't Li Guo and the red lady want to go in just by seeing the wine pretense, there is a reason here.

Wine flags, also known as wine flags, are also known as many others. Generally speaking, sake shogunes are roughly equivalent to today's signboards, light boxes, and the like. Signing the name of the store on the wine banner, or hanging it on the shop pù, is also an ancient form of advertising. The sake shovel began in the Warring States period and is an important symbol of the tavern.

Cao Xueqin, the home who wrote the Dream of Red Mansions, once wrote such a poem.

"Apricot Curtain in Sight"

The apricot curtain invites guests to drink, and there is a mountain villa in sight.

Lingjing goose water, mulberry elm swallow beam.

A wisp of spring leeks is green, and ten miles of rice flowers are fragrant.

There is no hunger in the prosperous world, so why be busy with farming and weaving.

The apricot curtain mentioned in the poem also refers to the wine front.

Wine pretenses are not just hung up.

At the door of the tavern, hanging a banner means that there is something to eat, and it is estimated that the tavern only sells some steamed porridge or noodle soup and the like. What is there to do under the guise of two things. Under the guise of three things, you can eat whatever you want, as long as the menu is there, you can order at will. And so on.

But in front of the fragrant building, there are eight banners, which is equivalent to the five-star hotel in the original time and space, paying attention to pomp and circumstance, and eating fresh seafood.

"Brother Wang. That's not going to work! Let's just eat a bowl of hot lasagna at a roadside stall, how can we be so expensive? The red lady excused herself. is also from a bitter background, and knows how to think for others.

"yes. Two brothers, we meet is fate, since we have fate, it is okay to drink two glasses of village wine. Li Guo also said that after experiencing this era, Li Guo also knows people's suffering, and how much money Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi can have.

Song Xiaozi smiled, "You don't have to be polite, even if you don't come, the two of us are going to have a good meal here!" ”

Wang Tiekou also smiled: "Yes." Two days ago, I made a small fortune, and the youngest son of the rich man of Kaifeng Mansion was frightened, and he didn't get better when he asked for medicine, but I burned a talisman and the child got better. The old man Wang has always been stingy, but this time he was generous, and gave me twenty taels of silver on the spot. ”

Li Guo and the three of them couldn't refuse. followed Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi into Xiangmanlou, and several people asked for a private room on the second floor.

The tavern man hurriedly followed, poured tea for a few people, and ordered food.

Li Guo and the red lady are guests and hosts. Wang Tiekou and Song Shorty ordered food.

"The carp noodles are going to be served, which is also our special delicacy here." Wang Tiekou said.

Li Guo has heard of this dish, and carp baked noodles are the abbreviation of "sweet and sour soft fish baked noodles". In fact, it is prepared by two famous dishes, sweet and sour boiled fish and baked noodles, and arrived in Kaifeng Mansion. It's a shame not to taste the local specialties.

"I also need to have a boiled yellow incense tube." Song Xiaozi turned his head to the Red Lady and Li Guo, and introduced to them, "This yellow incense tube is the blood vessels of pigs." Cooked with Henan's unique watermelon bean sauce, it is crispy and tender in the mouth, and the aftertaste is endless! ”

"There is also one set of four treasures, I have always wanted to eat it, this time we will try it." Wang Tiekou ordered another local delicacy.

The guys wrote them down one by one, and after ordering five or six dishes, Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi asked for two more Kaifeng soup dumplings and two jars of Kaifeng's local famous wine Feng Lubai.

After the wine and food were ready, Wang Tiekou instructed the men not to wait on the side. A few people closed the door, ate and talked in the private room, and said some intimate words.

The red lady didn't drink, but she looked at Li Guo, and when she saw Li Guo smiling and nodding, she also drank a glass under the persuasion of everyone. Who knows that the red lady has a very shallow amount of wine, and after only drinking a small glass of wine, her face is delicate and beautiful. Seeing this, Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi no longer persuaded the red lady, but just followed Li Guo to raise their glasses frequently.

Li Guo's injury was healed, and the red lady had a wish to follow him to Guangxi, Li Guo was in a good mood and drank it.

Zabu is of steppe tribe blood and was born with a love of wine. It's just that Li Guo's military discipline is very strict, and Zabu can rarely taste the taste of wine. Now watching Li Guo and the others drinking, smelling the fragrance of the wine, Zabu's heart is itching, and the wine worm in his stomach is almost coming out.

Li Guo saw it in his eyes and said with a smile, "My child was born outside the Guan, and he also loves to drink!" I'll pour you a bowl too. With that, he poured a bowl of wine for Zabu.

Zabu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and took the wine bowl and dried it in one gulp.

That small bowl of wine is at least three taels or more, even if an adult dries it in one gulp, it is uncomfortable, but Zabu looks very enjoyable, licking his lips, as if he hasn't drunk enough. You must know that on the grassland, regardless of men, women and children, you must drink when you meet. The proverb on the prairie says well, will it be, come to three bowls! Moreover, the grassland people like spirits, and there are more than three bowls of soft wine like maple dew.

Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi were amazed, so they poured two more bowls of wine for Zabu, and Zabu made three bowls in a row, although he was not drunk at all, but he never drank again.

Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi were full of praise.

The atmosphere was lively, but they were also speculative and had a good conversation.

Then Wang Tiekou asked, "The red lady has never come to a big city like Kaifeng, but now she has to stay here for a long time?" If that's the case, I'll do my best to help you put down roots here. ”

"No, we are just passing by Kaifeng, and by the way, let's take a look at Brother Wang, because Li Gongzi said that Guangxi is very peaceful now, and I am now ready to take the Deyi class there to beg for a living, and I am afraid it will not be easy to come to Kaifeng Mansion again." The red lady's face turned red, fortunately her face was covered by wine, how could she go to Guangxi by herself to make a living?

"Ah, I see." Wang Tiekou and Song Xiaozi are both old rivers and lakes, and looking at the appearance of Li Guo and the red lady, they can also guess that the two of them have great affection. So, the matter was not brought up again.

The Song dwarf suddenly lowered his voice, and asked Li Guo mysteriously, "Li Gongzi, since you are doing business in Guangxi, do you know a big celebrity in Guangxi?" ”

Li Guo replied, "I don't dare to say it in other places, but all famous people in Guangxi still know a little bit about it." ”

"Alas! It's a pity that he died? Song Xiaozi sighed.

"Oh? Who is this old friend of Brother Song? Let Brother Song feel so nostalgic? Li Guo asked.

"Actually, it's not my friend, it's just that I have admired that man for a long time, and I wanted to go to him, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance." Song Xiaozi couldn't help but shake his head.

Wang Tiekou nodded, "I know, Brother Song must be talking about that Li Guo?" ”

Song Shorty sighed, "Yes, it's Li Guo." It's a pity for this hero! There was no battlefield where he died, but he drowned! ”

"Who? Who are you talking about? Who died? Li Guo wondered very much, if he was dead or not, didn't he know it?

Zabu's eyes widened, and he looked at Li Guo directly, a little confused. (To be continued......)
