Xia Zhi was still frozen in place, thinking that even Chen Huan was so respectful, if it was not appropriate for him to enter the house uninvited. Just as he was hesitating, Chen Huan's voice came out, [Summer Solstice, bring in the pottery wine. 】

As he spoke, the little guy next to him handed over a small wine jar, far away from the door of the utility room, and his eyes kept glancing over there, as if he was worried that some monster would suddenly emerge from inside. Xia Zhi took over the wine jar, and the little maid made a gesture of invitation to her, and then flexibly took two steps back, away from the utility room.

This move made Xia Zhi more and more suspicious, could there really be any big people in this simple utility room? Summer Solstice moved towards the door and cautiously looked inside. Half of the space in the utility room is filled with all kinds of raw materials and brewing utensils, although it is messy, it is not messy, but it gives people a strange sense of neatness. The other half of the space is furnished with a table, chairs and a simple bed.

Chen Huan knelt down at the low table, took out the dishes in the food box and placed them on the table with a very respectful attitude, while briefly explaining the characteristics of the dishes. On the opposite side was a half-hundred-year-old man with gray hair, wearing a half-worn indigo overall, the wrinkles on his face were full of traces of wind and frost, his eyes were like torches under his thick eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth drooped, which looked like a very temperamental character. In the face of Chen Huan's warm hospitality, the old man did not have a happy look on his face, and he looked indifferently and did not talk.

[Summer solstice, give me the wine. Come and sit. Chen Huan saw Xia Zhi standing at the door sneakily, his eyes were rolling, and he was worried that she would annoy the other party, so he quickly interrupted her peep and called her in.

Xia Zhi stepped into this weird utility room with confidence and sat down next to Chen Huan. There was a shaggy carpet under the low table, and there were no chairs, only futons. The summer solstice dragged one over and padd it under the buttocks, not to mention, in the colder season, this combination is warmer.

The old man raised his eyes to look at the summer solstice, and looked away with disinterest. Xia Solstice lowered his head and focused on the steaming dishes, paying attention to the movements around him with only his peripheral vision. Chen Huan opened the lid of the wine jar on the side, and the aroma of pottery wine suddenly emerged, filling the air in the utility room. Xia Zhi noticed that the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, but there were no too obvious body movements, hum, it turned out that he was also a drunkard, and it would be good to admit it generously.

Chen Huan put the full wine glass in front of the old man, [Senior, this is the pottery wine brewed by the recipe of the Tao Restaurant, Chen Huan brought a small jar over for you to try. 】

Chen Huan is a senior, where is the old man in front of him who needs to be so sacred? Xia Solstice has all kinds of questions in his heart.

The old man squinted at the glass of wine, Nunu picked up the wine glass with a reluctant expression, smelled the aroma in front of his nose, took a sip with his mouth closer, smashed his mouth and tasted it, and then raised his head and drank the pottery wine in the cup in one gulp. No, to be precise, I put the pottery wine in my mouth, and after a few strokes of the cheeks, I tilted my head and vomited.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the old man's strange behavior. She has drunk pottery wine, it is indeed mellow and delicious, it is a rare good wine, this bad old man is actually violent and ruined. Moreover, this pottery wine was specially brought to him by Chen Huan, even if the ordinary wine has such a friendship in it, it will not be so bad.

Chen Huan didn't care, saw that the old man's wine glass was empty, and hurriedly filled it, waiting for the old man's next move without saying a word. Seeing this, Xia Zhi could only hold back the dissatisfaction in her heart, as long as Chen Huan threw the cup as a sign, she stepped forward to help deal with this arrogant old man.

The old man picked up the wine glass for the second time, this time there was not so much commotion, and he drank all the pottery wine in the cup according to the procedure of normal people drinking, and then sighed.

[What do the predecessors think of this pottery wine? Only then did Chen Huan ask, pouring a third glass of wine.

The old man didn't answer directly, he took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth to chew and chew, just like he didn't hear Chen Huan's question. If he hadn't heard his voice just now, Xia Zhi really suspected that this old man was a mute who couldn't speak.

The old man raised his eyebrows in the direction of the summer solstice, looked at Chen Huan, and said, "Who is this? 】

Chen Huan replied, [Her name is Xia Zhi, she temporarily lives in the Chen family, and she is my friend. 】

Friend? Well, shouldn't it be more appropriate for creditors and debtors? Xia Zhi was slandered, but the topic was on herself, and she also cooperated, so she asked politely, [Hello senior, my name is Xia Zhi. 】

【Seniors? Do you know what I do, just call me senior? The old man suddenly became fierce, which made Xia Zhi Zhang Er confused, and he could make mistakes with Chen Huan's name, this was deliberately difficult.

Chen Huan was about to open his mouth when the old man stretched out his hand to stop her, [It's not that she doesn't have a long mouth. 】

[The older ones are called seniors, and they have the same nature as the old man, and it has nothing to do with what you do. ] Xia Zhi said truthfully.

The old man didn't lift the table, and continued to ask nonsensical questions, [Then do you think Chen Huan called me so because of my age? 】

How do I know? Summer solstice black line, what is this called, said yes to make wine, is the relationship to accompany a bad old man to drink and chat? It's still the kind that can only accompany the chatter and can't drink. Xia Zhi racked his brains nonsense, [Then I guess irresponsibly, probably Chen Huan thinks you can help him find the treasures in this brewery?] 】

The old man paused for a moment and suddenly laughed twice, frowning a lot, and the fierce appearance was also eliminated a lot, but he still couldn't stop the strange problem, [Help is able to help, according to what you can see, why should I help him? 】

[Reason?] That's a lot, I'll give you a few to pick from. Xia Zhi took the wine jar with pottery wine by himself, poured himself a glass, and drank a glass like an old man, and then continued, [First, money. Having money equals having a lot of things. Second, it's name. Earn a good reputation, and with fame, you can naturally continue to have a business and make money. Third, doing good deeds without leaving a name is regarded as one's own interest, not for external material things but to satisfy one's own selfish desires. Fourth...... Fourth ......] Xia Zhi struggled for a while, but he really couldn't come out of nonsense, [It's only three for the time being, which one do you choose, old man?] 】

[Well, choose one of the three. The old man didn't care about the disrespectful title of the summer solstice, but seriously thought about the reason and motives. Xia Zhi winked at Chen Huan, seeing that you can't solve the problem, I will solve it with a few words, she has to think about how to knock a big bamboo pole after the matter is completed.

The old man thought for a long time, but he didn't give a definite answer, and Xia Solstice added fuel to the fire, [Is it so difficult to decide? Or roll the dice? 】
