Liu Yunwen really couldn't sit still! She didn't expect this old man to be like this, she ordered four dishes in one breath without blinking her eyes, and she really didn't think of herself as an outsider. They all told him that they only had 100 yuan on him, what should he do later? How to pay? Then the old man looked around the hall while drinking tea, as if he was watching the people of all kinds eating in the hall with great interest, looking leisurely and leisurely.

A nameless fire rose from the bottom of Liu Yunwen's heart! But looking at the people in the hall, she didn't know how to diarrhea, until the little flower-like face was red, her small nose trembled with the sound of "snorting", and her good-looking little mouth was slightly upturned, which was indescribably wronged.

The old man looked in all directions and listened to all directions, so he naturally saw Liu Yunwen's appearance in his eyes, he was just funny in his heart, and he didn't talk to her.

There was a lot of noise in the hall, people guessing fists, people who persuaded to drink, people who shouted, and people who laughed drunk....... One voice after another, just like the hustle and bustle of the Five Horse Town when they were in a market.

The noisy and chaotic sound in the hall was like the roaring waves of the sea, and wave after wave poured into Liu Yunwen's ears, making her heart even more irritable. At this moment, the beautiful waiter brought the old man's order.

The waiter set the dishes and smiled at the old man and asked, "Do you want something to drink?" Elderly. “

The old man looked at the bowl of fried loaches with capers on the table, and replied without raising his head: "Come to Xizhou Moutai for two catties!"

"Okay! Do you want rice or potatoes or fruits? The waitress asked again skillfully.

"Potato bar!" The potato mentioned by the old man refers to a kind of liquor steamed and roasted by the local villagers in Wuma Town with sweet potatoes as raw materials.

The people of Xizhou are simple, fierce and hardworking. Especially for wine, I have a special love and attachment! In addition to using rice as raw materials to make wine, they can also use sweet potatoes, golden cherry seeds on the mountain, mulberry fruits on mulberry trees to make raw materials, and even some people have a whim when citrus is unsalable in a certain year, and the citrus is cooked in a pot and used to make wine, in a word, everything that can be eaten, he has a way to make wine in the hands of Xizhou people.

Most of these various liquors in Xizhou are steamed by the method of passing down the pipeline, and the famous ones have their own secret recipes and processes, so the taste of the liquor brewed by each family is different. Tian Gengqing's father made good wine, no matter what the ingredients, he could make a jar of fragrant wine. Whether the liquor made by Xizhou people is made of grain or other ingredients, the alcohol content is not high, generally between 28 degrees and 30 degrees, fragrant and fragrant, hearty and clear, and the lower throat is soft, mainly no matter how drunk it is, it will not go up. Although this wine is not high in alcohol and has a sweet mouth, it is full of stamina, and people are drunk without realizing it.

One year, a businessman from the northeast came to Wuma Town to eat at Tian Gengqing's shop. The people of the Northeast are known for their large stature, bold personality and penchant for drinking spirits. As soon as the Northeast people entered the store, they named the "Xizhou Moutai" wine in the store, saying that they often heard others say that this wine is delicious, how good is it to taste today. Tian Gengqing asked someone to serve him a pound of liquor made by his father from sweet potatoes. The Northeast people first took a dip, and the wine was indeed fragrant. He poured a cup with a small cup and drank it, he smacked his lips and smiled at Tian Gengqing: "This is your "Xizhou Moutai"? It's not good, it's as light as water, and it's no problem for me to drink 5 catties in one go! Tian Gengqing smiled and didn't argue with him, but politely said to him: "Boss, you taste it slowly." The Northeast businessman was really arrogant, he drank the 1 catty of wine in two sips, and asked someone to come up with 3 catties. Unexpectedly, before the three catties were drunk, they slowly stopped, and they trembled when they spoke. It was Tian Gengqing who asked someone to send him back to the hotel.

The reason why Xizhou people call this locally produced white sprinkle "Xizhou Moutai" shows how much they prefer this wine.

Liu Yunwen heard the old man say "Xizhou Moutai", she couldn't help but look up at him and asked, "Didn't you say that you just wandered here?" How do you know about our "Xizhou Moutai sprinkling" here? She was a quick-hearted girl, and when she heard the old man's words, she immediately felt that something was wrong.

The old man was speechless for a while, and he laughed a little embarrassedly, and said, "I've also heard people talk about this wine in Xizhou these days, so I want to call some to try it." Hey. ”

"That's not right! So how do you know how to divide the potatoes of rice? Liu Yunwen asked.

The old man was suddenly embarrassed, and he didn't know what to answer for a while, but he moved his lips and said something Liu Yunwen didn't hear clearly, and at this time the waiter came over with 2 catties of sweet potato wine.

The old man hurriedly took the opportunity to close to relieve the embarrassment, and hurriedly called the waiter to add another set of dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Yunwen asked strangely, "Aren't you alone?" How can there be another one? Are you lying to me, old man? “

The old man hurriedly shook and said, "No, no, how could my old man bear to lie to you such a kind-hearted good girl?" He saw that Liu Yunwen's face was full of suspicion, and he didn't seem to believe his words at all, so he continued: "Wait a minute, there will really be a child coming over."

"With you?" Liu Yunwen asked. She now had too many questions about the old man who suddenly appeared next to her.

The old man was noncommittal to her words, and changed the subject: "This fried loach with capers is so delicious!" Girl, aren't you also a good cook? Will you make this dish? ......Before he finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, like a child who said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, Liu Yunwen's eyes widened and asked, "How do you know that I can cook?"

The old man hurriedly said vaguely: "I'll just ask casually!" Whatever you ask, whatever you want. Hey! “

It is often said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early! At the age of 12, Liu Yunwen began to carry water, laundry, cook and take care of housework. She had never met her mother, and she had no shadow of her mother in her mind. For as long as she can remember, her father told her that her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. She has been dependent on her father and brother since she was a child, and at the age of 6.7, she began to follow her brother to the fields to collect pigweed and go up the mountain to collect firewood. When she was 12 years old, she could cook and stir-fry, and her father and brother felt sorry for her and never let her go to work in the fields, but she kept the house in order, and whenever her father and brother came back from the fields, she would bring hot meals, which made her father Liu Hanjiang very pleased. Liu Hanjiang makes a good dish, Liu Yunwen is smart and studious, her father's craftsmanship has been learned, and some dishes have their own creativity, and they are better than their father's.
