Chapter 29: The Wind Gets Drunk
Ji Xuan'er didn't know what kind of medicine Wen Yixian was selling in the gourd, but at the moment the map he needed was on her, so he had to follow her, and when he got to the second floor, Wen Yixian just called Xiao Erdao, who was in charge of the wine and food in the store, with a familiar way: "Take a jar of Qingfeng drunk from the first fang, and then a plate of floating crabs, a plate of spicy soup with shrimp, and a plate of vinegar brains." ”
Xiao Eryi memorized it in his head, and continued to ask, "Do you want anything else from the guest officer?" ”
Wen Yixian thought for a while and said: "There is just one thing that needs to be explained to you, when Qiu Gongzi's family takes the silver, you can go and tell him, saying that we are having dinner in the Cuifeng Pavilion on the second floor, and let him only come here to find us, and also, you go and invite Zhang Gongzi and Li Gongzi to come, and say that the Oiran lady in the first fang invites them to play, so that they can remember to bring more silver with them." Here's a tip for you to run errands. As he spoke, he took out one or two pieces of silver from his arms and handed them to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er happily took the money, remembered the things Wen Yixian explained, and went downstairs.
Wen Yixian seemed to be very interested in eating at the moment, and said to Ji Xuan'er: "Everyone else only knows that there are beauties in the first square, and they forget that the wine and food in the first square are also among the best on Chang'an Street. When Qinglan was in the kitchen, the floating crab she made was the most delicious, and when she saw that I was thin, she would quietly leave some for me from the guests, she was really a kind person, but unfortunately, kind people, God always does not treat them well. As he spoke, he had a gloomy look on his face.
Ji Xuan'er only understood a little after hearing this, why she was so cruel to Yu Niang, presumably Qinglan had treated her well more than once, in such a place, a woman like Qinglan was indeed a really kind person, and when everyone bullied an ugly-looking inferior girl, it was Qinglan who gave her care.
He nodded and said, "The Qinglan in your mouth is indeed an unusual woman, since this is the case, she must not want you to hurt others to be angry for her." ”
Wen Yixian listened, waved his hand and said: "You are going to start talking about your great truth again, although she did not ask people to hurt others to avenge her, but when she died, she muttered the words 'I hate so much', she had such a grudge before she died, how could I not help her and let her be blind under Jiuquan?" Although I wanted to wait a little longer and give these people a little more time, but since I was leaving, I would leave this matter before leaving. If you don't like it, just drink and eat meat next to you, I don't expect you to help, but you can't stop me, otherwise, I'll be so angry that I might forget the map in my mind. ”
Ji Xuan'er naturally knew in her heart that Wen Yixian asked Xiao Er to call those people naturally not well, but now only she knows the clue to find the Tianxin Jade Soul, this is a major matter related to the people in the world, speaking of which, Wuji Palace has always not cared about small things in the world, but has some birth realms, and Wuji Palace's responsibility to the world is to manage the rise and fall of all the people in the world, so after weighing it in her heart, she decided to see what she called those people to do first, if she is really vicious, he will advise, If he just taught these people a lesson, he would not need to say anything, just watch.
The two sat in the room for a while, drank a few sips of tea, and then two little maids came up with the wine and food one after the other, put the wine and food in place, and withdrew and closed the door.
Wen Yixian took the chopsticks, put a piece of crab meat in his mouth, ate two bites, and said to Ji Xuan'er: "This is the last full meal before we go on the road, I think that the map is so complicated, I don't know how to cross the mountains and mountains, you should also eat quickly, lest you go not far, and your stomach will be hungry."
Saying that, he had poured himself full of wine, and then poured full wine for Ji Xuan'er, and said, "Qingfeng is drunk, try it?" There was a mysterious smile in his eyes.
Ji Xuan'er looked at her smile again, his mind moved slightly, he had seen her smile when she confused the enemy, beautiful but complicated, this was the first time he had seen her smile so sincerely, as if he was inviting an old friend who had been reunited for a long time to accompany her for two drinks, with a clear smile and not stained with vulgar dust.
Wen Yixian saw Ji Xuan'er staring at him, picked up his wine, handed it to him, and said, "What are you staring at me?" This wine is really delicious, you can know it when you taste it. ”
Ji Xuan'er found that he was a little out of shape, took the wine, didn't know what medicine was being sold in Wen Yixian's gourd, tried to take a small sip, and sure enough, a spring-like smell poured into his throat, this wine was rich but not choking, and more importantly, its wine taste can really make people forget their troubles in an instant, and make people have a feeling of no desire to ascend to the immortal, this is undoubtedly the top grade in the wine, I'm afraid that Yaochi wine, but that's it, so he tilted his neck, drank all the wine in the cup, and said: " People always think that the taste of wine depends on the skill of the brewer, but they do not know that the taste of wine also depends on the mood of the winemaker. ”
Wen Yixian snorted and said: "Don't always look at the world with the morality of your Wuji Palace, you look at the world of all kinds of things, even in this small first square, it can also let you see all the good and evil in the world, you people who learn Taoism and cultivate immortals naturally think that people are too many rules, and always feel that black is black, white is white, and the boundaries are too clear, but you can't see the world clearly." As he spoke, he winked at Ji Xuan'er and said, "Since you said that this wine makes people feel like a spring breeze, then guess who made this wine?" ”
Ji Xuan'er thought about it, when he was watching Yu Niang dancing in the hall just now, he also saw a lot of people, but those people had heavy desire on their faces, not like people who could empty their minds and brew a jar of wine wholeheartedly, after eliminating those impossibilities, the only possibility was the answer, he looked at Wen Yixian and said in disbelief: "So, you made these wines?" ”
Wen Yixian looked up proudly and said, "What? I can't make wine like this? The wine you drank was made by this girl. ”
Ji Xuan'er couldn't help but be curious: "So, I really want to know how this wine is made." ”
Wen Yixian then relished: "When it snows at the beginning of winter, fill a clay pot with white-glazed faience, add a lime and a bucket of wheat, put it in the koji, seal it, put it in the highest temperature place in the hot spring in the back mountain, put it for three or five months, wait for the snow water to melt, boil, ferment it with lime wheat, and then take it out, distill it with a distillation pot, and brew it with a jar of fresh wind drunkenness." ”
Ji Xuan'er listened, nodded and said: "No wonder this wine does not smell burning, it was originally made with snow water, and with the taste of lemon, it naturally makes people feel like a spring breeze." ”
Wen Yixian smiled: "There are many things in this world that you can't think of. ”
As he was talking, he heard the sound of crackling and slamming the door outside the door, it was Qiu Gongzi and Zhang Gongzi, and Li Gongzi arrived with their two or three family members.
