Chapter 42: Good Wine

The group entered the city, this time Chen Yanfeng didn't pick the best inn, it was not bad to find a home, and asked for two upper rooms.

A big city like Wancheng is really much stronger than the big towns and towns they pass through, and the food that can be provided in this inn, which can only be regarded as a good inn, can already be regarded as a miscellaneous food and water, and there is everything.

Chen Yanfeng has always been the most generous in eating, and ordered a large table of chickens, ducks, fish and sheep in one go, but fortunately, the dishes in Wancheng are exquisite but few, and several people have not eaten such a good dish for half a month, and even Li Yan has eaten a lot. Only Zhou Rui ate from beginning to end, but he ate very little.

Chen Yanfeng looked at him, and after eating, he touched half of the silver leaf and pushed it in front of him, "Take it and buy more paper money, you have a lot of family, and you have more clothes to add, less is not enough." Do you know the rules for burning paper outside? I don't know, if you don't understand, just ask the shopkeeper. After so many days, I will rest for a day tomorrow and then walk. ”

Chen Yanfeng said, flicking his arms and going back to the room.

Li Yan looked at Zhou Rui, "I'll go with you?" Zhou Rui hesitated and nodded, "Okay." ”

"You have a lot of things, you don't have to follow the past, there is Zhou Rui." Seeing Yushu coming up closely, Li Yan turned around and instructed that the work of washing clothes and cleaning things along the way was all Yushu's, and then followed her to follow Zhou Rui to burn the paper, and her clothes had to be washed until midnight.

Yushu looked at Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui nodded to her hurriedly, "Don't worry." Yushu breathed a sigh of relief, bent his knees to Li Yan, and retreated.

Li Yan and Zhou Rui walked out of the inn, and the sunset was already hanging in the sky, only a little bit was exposed.

"Gotta hurry! Go and change money first. "Li Yan has learned that under normal circumstances, silver cannot be used directly, because the face value is too large.

"No, this is Wancheng, this bit of broken silver can be exchanged in the shop." Zhou Rui explained, stopped a step, let Li Yan walk inside, guarded her slightly sideways, and walked to the white shop with a signboard in front of him.

Zhou Rui only bought paper money, not those rough paper clothes. Li Yan looked up at the plausible clothes glued out of rough straw paper, people like Zhou Taishou who grew up in the palace since childhood, definitely don't look down on such clothes, it is better to give money and let them buy their own.

Zhou Rui bought a thick stack of paper money, and then transferred to the wine shop that was separated by a few shops, bought a bottle of fine bamboo leaf green, and bought a small jar of aged daughter red.

"Daddy only drinks bamboo leaf green, and eldest brother loves to drink daughter red the most." Zhou Rui explained in a low voice, asked the guy to tie up the wine, carried paper money in one hand and wine in the other, and went to the release pond pointed out by the innkeeper with Li Yan.

In the middle of the release pond is a small pond that is not too big, and there are a few old trees scattered around it, and the sky is already dark at this time, and there is no one around the release pond, which is very empty.

Zhou Rui found a clean open space, drew a big circle according to what the shopkeeper said, opened the mouth in the direction of Yichun, squatted outside the circle, took a few pieces of paper money and put them into the circle, and added them one by one. Li Yan squatted next to Zhou Rui, helped him unpack the tight paper money, and handed it to him.

Zhou Rui added one by one very slowly, the fire fell and jumped, jumped up and down, and shone on the faces of the two, from time to time.

When Li Yan's squatting legs were a little numb, Zhou Rui burned all the paper money, opened the bamboo leaf green, sprinkled it on the side of the paper ash, and then slapped open the mud seal of the daughter red in the jar, poured all the daughter red on the paper ash, and then lifted the wine jar and fell heavily on the pile of paper ash.

Li Yan stood up, took a few steps back, looked at Zhou Rui, who was full of resentment who poured his daughter red, and waited for him to drop the wine jar, reached over, and grabbed his wet hand that was sticky with wine, "I still have some silver here, let's go drink." ”

"I'm fine." Zhou Rui dragged him out, and Li Yan held his hand tightly, "Drink with me." Let's go. Zhou Rui snorted, led by Li Yan, walked out of the release pool, walked not far along the street, and saw a small snack shop with a big wine word hanging in the room, Li Yan pulled Zhou Rui into the shop.

There were not many people in the store, and the shopkeeper and the guy didn't look at Zhou Rui, they all glared at Li Yan, "...... This lord, this ......"

Li Yan's hair was tightly curled into a ball like Chen Yanfeng and Zhou Rui for a while, wearing a big cotton hat with ears bought in a certain town on his head, and a dogskin robe on his body.

"It's also a master." Li Yan replied, "Is there an aged daughter Hong?" Take five catties first, and then fry peanuts. Li Yan commanded, while aiming at the position, and pulled Zhou Rui to a corner away from the crowd.

The shopkeeper and the guy glanced at each other, what is the master, obviously it is a girl, forget it, you can't take care of idle things, you can give wine if you want it.

The guy brought the wine, took the pot and cup, and then brought peanuts over, Zhou Rui reached out and touched the wine jar, "It's a little cold, you take a red clay stove, and then take a tin pot, a plate of ginger shredded ......"

"Get some more sugar!" Li Yan followed up with an order.

The guy agreed, took all the things in a moment, Zhou Rui pinched a few shredded ginger, put a few spoonfuls of sugar into the pot, then poured wine, put it in the red clay oven and heated it to the point that it seemed to be open, lifted it, poured half a cup for Li Yan first, and then filled it for himself.

Li Yan picked up the cup and took a sip carefully, the wine was hot, with a fragrant ginger flavor, mellow and sweet, Li Yan took a sip, quickly finished half a glass of wine, and stretched the cup in front of Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui watched her hold the cup with both hands, carefully sipping the wine, until she was smiling, and the warmth in her heart spread little by little.

Zhou Rui poured another half cup for Li Yan, picked up the cup, looked at Li Yan, she took a sip, he also took a sip, she finished half a cup, he also finished a cup......

One of the two of them was concentrating on sipping wine, and the other was concentrating on watching her sip of wine and drinking it one by one, no one spoke, after drinking a pot of wine, and after drinking another pot, Li Yan put down the cup and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's so warm." ”

"Drunk?"

"Not yet." Li Yan stretched out the cup again, "This wine is so delicious, no wonder your eldest brother likes it the most." ”

Zhou Rui warmed another pot of wine, "In the past, in winter, I used to drink with my eldest brother like this, listening to my eldest brother talk about the past and the present. ”

"To your big brother." Li Yan raised the empty cup, she was not drunk, but she was a little dizzy.

Zhou Rui's expression was gloomy, he looked down at the tin pot, lifted the pot, reached out to take Li Yan's cup, and poured her half a cup. "Drink slowly, you're a little too much."

"Well, it's a little dizzy, but it's fine." Li Yan pinched the cup with one hand, propped one arm on the table, and looked at Zhou Rui with his cheeks, "It's a big family, and you're the only one left in the blink of an eye." I used to have dreams like this: a large group of people were having a good time, I turned around, closed my eyes, and everyone was gone, not a single one, I searched everywhere, everywhere, and there was no one. ”
