Chapter 290: The Wine Shop
The cold northwest plug road, the north wind howling, in the interior of the Central Plains is still in the autumn, the people here have put on thick cotton jackets, the weather here is always earlier than other places, come more violently, today I don't know that it is the first snow in winter, a winter anyway to fall the snowflakes, the earth is covered with winter is called winter, the earth is silver snow, not an inch of grass grows, cold to the bone, not the general cold.
Tonight, the sky has not yet set into the night, the snow is vast, the world is the same color, the strong man who is over thirty years old walks in the snow, the sight is silver, a layer of white frost and ice on the eyebrows, the mouth exhales a white thick fog, the silver iron hook in the man's hand emits a faint cold light, the sharp teeth are sharp, there are blood beads solidified on it, and the hook is suddenly a roe deer that has long died, and the wound has no blood flowing out, it seems that the cold weather has already frozen its wound.
"Phew!" The man spat out a mouthful of ice slag, as if he was dissatisfied with the weather and protested, he was a hunter, and now the ghost weather, the weather turned cold, and the large animals were hiding, and he finally hit this stupid roe deer that came out to forage.
Although protesting and resenting such a ghost weather, but the man is extremely adapted to such an environment, in towing a roe deer can also walk in the snow like flying, walking between the rustling sound, the front of the man's gaze is a low and dilapidated small house, the small house is full of smoke, the bright light is like a unique light in the snow, and then you can faintly hear the sound of talking and laughter, it is a wine shop, it is the only wine on the road in the northwest Hanguan Town, miss this one and have to walk thirty miles to Hanguan Town.
The man couldn't help but move faster when he heard the voice, he urgently needed to take a sip of hot wine to dispel the cold and wine insects in his body, the man walked close and pushed open the hidden door and walked into the house with a big stab, the action was very skillful, as if he did it often, pushed the door into the house with a cold wind with northwest characteristics, blew away the turbidity inside, and caused the dissatisfaction of the few drinkers inside, and someone immediately roared.
Zhao Xiangsan hurriedly shut the person. A man yelled, although he roared, but he was not angry or angry, but he was very skilled with men.
The man Zhao Xiangsan put the prey into the house and closed the door reflexively, and he didn't see how hard he worked, a piece of wood slag was pulled out of the dilapidated wooden door, Zhao Xiangsan smiled and said to the boss behind the wine cabinet: "Boss Wu, you don't make so much money and don't repair your family, look at my hands." ”
Boss Wu of the wine shop looked like he was angry, and said loudly with a red face: "Okay, you Zhao Xiangyang, Zhao Xiangsan, you see that every time you come to my door, you have to pay me a piece down." Although the boss is red-faced, he is a natural drinker, and he has opened a wine shop in such a weather, where is there a reason not to drink a sip of hot wine, because his face is already red like freshly steamed shrimp at this time.
Boss Wu said that he had already laughed when he looked at the prey in Zhao Xiangsan's hand, and said: "You are still amazing, now you are the only one who can hunt some game this winter, and it is still the old rule today?" ”
Boss Wu smiled and praised Zhao Xiangsan, this Zhao Xiangsan is also capable, not leaky, but he can hunt game every day, and he is not the only one who can hunt game in this winter, but only Zhao Xiangsan can sell him to the wine shop, don't look at his wine shop is small and broken, but it is the only road into Hanguang Town, if you miss here, you have to walk another thirty miles, so every time the merchants come and go from the south to the north will stop to rest, replenish supplies here, drink a sip of wine, eat some food, and set up a few tables outside when the weather is good, Every time it is full, of course he can make a lot of money, of course, there are fewer people in such snowy weather, and the merchants will not come back until the spring of the next year, and now there are only a few old drunkard regulars who patronize his wine shop.
Boss Wu cursed the thief in his heart, if you want to say who hates this hateful winter the most, it must be him, there is no silver to earn.
Sure enough, Zhao Xiangsan used force on his hand, threw the roe deer over, and said, "The old rule, give me a hot pot of wine first, I'm about to freeze into ice." "Zhao Xiangsan's original name was Zhao Xiangyang, just because he was ranked third, everyone called him Zhao Xiangsan, and after a long time, except for the old acquaintance Boss Wu, there are really few people who know his real name.
There are five tables in the small room, where can it be full of people in such a ghost weather, Zhao Xiangsan took a look, one table sat three five big and three thick men, one sat two acquaintances, it was an old gambler nearby, and on the other table sat a scar-faced man with his back to him and was drinking alone, and there were two empty tables, Zhao Xiangsan went straight to the table of the two gamblers and sat down, picked up the peanuts on the table and ate them.
What can these men talk about together, the topic of men is always women, and one of the gamblers suddenly said: "Hey, have you heard, there is a new top brand in Hongxiangyuan, and I heard that it is a Qingqi person." ”
The Hongxiangyuan he said is a green building in Hanguang Town, and it is also the only green building.
"I heard that Qingqi'er came from Yangzhou, she looks really beautiful, and she can pinch out the water, which is not comparable to the ugly women who are five big and three thick here." The man was so excited that he was drooling as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Pull it down! Those from Yangzhou can come to our place. The three men at the other table obviously didn't believe it, "Where are you here, so the girl from the water spirit can't be frozen when she comes." ”
"Really, really." The gambler said that he was originally very annoyed by this opposing voice, and he had the intention to prove that he was telling the truth in action, but looking at the sturdy figure of the five big and three thick, he swooped, and his courage evaporated instantly.
The folk customs of the northwest can be strong, and if you don't agree with each other, you can stage a full martial arts, his wine-colored and wealthy plastic body, he was killed in seconds every minute, in this place where the emperor is far away, the officials all go home to their wives and children to go to the hot kang, if he is really beaten, he really has no place to reason.
It's also in vain, so why bother!
"Hey, Zhao Xiangsan, haven't you heard of it?" The man ignored him anymore and set his eyes on Zhao Xiangsan, asking him for confirmation.
Zhao Xiangsan took a sip of hot wine, feeling comfortable in his stomach, exuding heat all over his body, such a ghost place is really not a place for people to stay, for the man's question, Zhao Xiangsan ignored it, and said with a smile: "You are too backward now, and fight for a woman, if you want me to say, I know a good place, that place is really a man's paradise, a lot of money is made, passionate and exciting, I guarantee that you will never want a woman again if you go once." ”
Zhao Xiangsanyi succeeded in attracting the men in the house, what kind of magical place can make money and don't want women, this is what the two gamblers thought; And what the three men thought about was where it could be passionate and exciting.
