Chapter 174: The Second Master of the Qi Family
"The character of the second master of Qi is withdrawn and proud, because he is weak and sickly when he is young, so he is very active and not quiet, he likes to do only two things, one is to play chess, the other is to drink, let's talk about chess first, the second master of Qi learned to play at the age of nine, and studied under the Jiangnan chess king Lan Rugui, Mr. Lan served in the Hanlin Academy thirty years ago, accompanied the emperor to play chess, is a first-class master who is well-known in the north and south of the river, the so-called strong generals have no weak soldiers, famous teachers out of high apprentices, the Qi family spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Lan to live in Qijia Town, a residence is five years, five years later, After that, the second master of Qi traveled around the world with his teacher, visited famous mountains, worshipped famous teachers, and exchanged ideas with masters from all over the world. The owner continued
, learn chess at the age of nine, enter the product five years later, and then three years for the seven-grade chess player, nine plus five and then three, a total of seventeen, that is to say, the second master of Qi is one year younger than himself now and the strength is one grade higher, from this point of view, in addition to his own talent and hard work, how important is the role played by a famous teacher - hearing this, I can't help but make Sun Dong a little gloomy, if he can go to the capital to enter the Dong family to learn chess, or like the second master of the Qi family, hire a first-class national player to teach at home, with the same time, I believe that his current strength must be more than six grades, but this kind of thing can only be thought about.
The drunkard's reaction was very flat, "I don't know how old the second master of the Qi family is now?" He asked.
"Two out of thirty." The shopkeeper replied.
"And what is the current grade?" The drunkard asked again.
"Well, since then, Second Master Qi has not gone out to participate in competitions or grade evaluations. So it has always been Qipin, but he often invites masters to come to Qijia Town as a guest guide. It is said that his current strength has reached the sixth grade. Even higher. The shopkeeper was a little surprised, you must know that the strength of the seven-grade chess player is already quite high, except for the Jiangnan region and the capital area, where the chess style is extremely prosperous, it is basically the level that can dominate one side, but anyone who can play chess, or has a certain understanding of Go, will definitely show surprise and admiration on his face when he learns that there is a seven-rank chess player in a place like Qijia Town, or like the envy shown by the other young man. Explanations like this introduce him to the Qijia old store I don't know how many times he has done with customers who come and go from the north to the south, like a drunkard who doesn't care at all and doesn't think about it for the first time! Could it be that this guy drank too much alcohol and drank his brain?
"Oh, six pins, thirty-two years old and six pins, although it is not very powerful, but it is not bad. Okay, now let's talk about the bar. "Even if the shopkeeper holds the strength of the second master of the Qi family to the sixth grade. The drunkard just nodded casually, didn't show much respect, and said a comment that I don't know if it was appreciated or not, and then turned the topic to wine. Apparently his interest was only in wine.
Although the shopkeeper was dissatisfied, this down-and-out drunkard seemed to have a bit of a background, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously. I had to go on.
As I said just now, the second master of the Qi family was frail and sickly when he was young. It is one of the diagnosis and treatment methods used by the named doctor to get better after diagnosis and treatment. It is to drink every day, nourish yin and aphrodisiac, and strengthen the body, over time, the second master of the Qi family likes to drink, and because of physical reasons, not all wine can be drunk, so the second master of the Qi family has studied the method of winemaking, after ten years of repeated attempts, and finally studied the method of permeating the bottle of wine. However, the second master of the Qi family made wine out of personal hobby, and did not intend to make money from it, coupled with poor health, physical exercise should not be too much, so there is only one wine cellar at home, only two cellars of wine every year, each time the wine is only more than 40 jars, in addition to their own daily drinking, there is also a surplus of more than 20 jars, these 20 jars of wine or sent to relatives and friends to taste, or for family gatherings during the New Year's holidays, try to ask, for a big family like the Qi family, what is more than 20 jars of wine enough for? I'm afraid that half of it can be used up for a slightly larger banquet - even the drinking of the family is not guaranteed, let alone the goods for other families and sold for money? The shopkeeper said.
"Well, it took ten years to research a fine wine, not to mention the quality of the wine, this persistence alone is enough to make people admire." This time, the drunkard did not hesitate to praise his own praise, and praised him sincerely, obviously for him, the second master of the Qi family as a winemaker is far more respected by him than the second master of the Qi family who is a six-rank chess player.
Hearing such an evaluation, the shopkeeper smiled bitterly, thinking that the proud Second Master Qi of Qijia Town was treated like this, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"That's not right", after thinking about it, the drunkard suddenly said, "According to you, the second master of the Qi family is not in good health, and drinking is to regulate the body, in other words, that is to say, although he can drink alcohol, he can't drink more, otherwise it will be harmful to the body, so the amount of wine will definitely not be very large, two kilns of wine every year, one kiln forty jars, two kilns and eighty altars, half of which are kept for himself, and half for his family or gifts, then he left forty jars, even if he drinks every day, every day, these forty jars of wine cannot be drunk." ”
"This, I don't know. Second Master Qi is low-key and doesn't like publicity, except for the big things in the town, he rarely goes out to show up, and most of the friends he makes are friends in the chess world. This guest officer, if you know how to play chess, you might as well visit Qi Mansion, if you can get the appreciation of the second master of Qi, it is not easy to taste the taste of the bottle of incense. The shopkeeper smiled, with a bit of ridicule in his words.
Listening to what the shopkeeper said, Sun Dong and Lao Wei were both funny in their hearts, and said in their hearts, it is really muddy and earthy, this drunkard's tone is too big, and his speech is too polite, and the temper of the shopkeeper is already good enough, but he is still stimulated so much that he can't help it.
"Well, that's what I'm saying, the six-rank chess player, it's a little bit worse, but for the sake of the bottle of incense, I'll go meet him." Stroking the messy beard that was immediately scattered, the drunkard replied quite seriously after thinking about it.
Uh, that's right?!
Among the few people present, except for Tan Xiaotian, the other three were all stunned by Lei, and they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside-six-rank chess player, he was still 'a little bit worse', this cowhide was too big, right? (To be continued......)
