Chapter 40: The Theory of Spirits
Xiaojiu seemed to sense Shao Liang's nervousness, so he smiled and reached out to pat Shao Liang's shoulder, and said loudly: "What's the matter? Shao Baitou, scared? What about your guts just now?"
Shao Qi smiled bitterly: "Go aside, Lao Tzu has no time to pay attention to you." ”
"You ......"
As he spoke, the two of them came to the fire, at this time Shi Feizi was concentrating on grilling fish, but looking at his sad face, he knew that he had not yet mastered Shao Yan's barbecue skills, while Jiang Yousi had his own aura, sitting firmly on a translucent moist stone, looking at Shi Feizi's grilled fish.
Seeing Shao Liang coming, Shi Feizi immediately stood up excitedly, surrounded Shao Qi, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Shao Baitou, you're too late again!"
Shao Qi replied in embarrassment: "Uh, I was a little tired during the day, I rested for a while, and I overslept." ”
As soon as Shao Yu's words fell, Jiang Yousi's cold voice came: "Boy, can you, when the disaster comes, you can still oversleep?"
Without waiting for Shao Liang to reply, Xiaojiu squatted beside Jiang Yousi with a hippie smile, slapped Jiang Yousi's shoulder, and said loudly: "Master, the disciple looks at him closely, there is no accident!"
Jiang Yousi's tone towards Xiaojiu was much softened, and she only smiled and said, "Oh, is it? That's hard Xiaojiu." ”
"What did the master say!"
While Jiang Yousi and Xiaojiu were talking, Shi Feizi couldn't help but pull Shao Liang, sat around the fire, and directly handed the wet wood branch with the fish in his hand to Shao Qi's hand.
"Oh, Shao Baitou, can you bake a few drunken fish for the old man first? You know, the old man's hands are clumsy, he can't bake your taste at all, oops, the old man is hungry!" Shi Feizi seemed to be really hungry.
Shao Liang smiled bitterly, and then put the two jars of spirits beside him, and listened to Shi Feizi's words, ready to start roasting the drunken fish, Shao Liang saw that there were two pots of wine brought by Jiang Yousi on the other side.
However, as soon as Shao Yu handed the wooden branch to the flame, Jiang Yousi, who was sitting oppositely, suddenly said coldly: "Wait, boy, you seem to have forgotten tonight's agreement, right?"
Shao Liang just wanted to speak, but Shi Feizi on the side pinched his waist and scolded Jiang Yousi: "Shut up first, you old fellow, don't you see that he is helping the old man roast the drunken fish?
Jiang Yousi couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Shi Feizi's greedy appearance: "Haha, I said that Shi is three years old, you are so greedy, you are not afraid of being poisoned one day?"
I always heard Jiang Yousi call Shi Feizi a three-year-old teacher, thinking that he was making fun of Shi Feizi's childlike innocence, like a three-year-old child, from the perspective of gluttony, it is also suitable.
When Shi Feizi heard this, he immediately replied: "Go, go, crow's mouth! The old man's greedy mouth also depends on what kind of deliciousness! General taste, hum, the old man still refuses to enter his mouth!"
"Haha......" Jiang Yousi laughed loudly: "What if this drunken fish is poisonous?"
"Hey, I said you stinky old fortune teller, can you shut up?" Shi Feizi didn't seem to want to argue with Jiang Yousi, and his gaze stayed on the grilled fish in Shao Yu's hand.
It was in this embarrassing and tense atmosphere that Shao Liang calmly roasted four drunken fish, Shao Liang didn't know what he did, he always felt that time was very slow, as if seconds were like years, but he felt that time was very fast, as if in an instant. But finally, everything was about to be put on the table, because at this time, Jiang Yousi's eyes were fixed on the two jars of spirits at Shao Yu's feet.
Shi Feizi didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, but instead gnawed on a drunken fish by himself, but miraculously placed the remaining three drunken fish on a smooth running stone, and then said to Jiang Yousi and Shao Yu, as well as Xiaojiu: "Hey, you three can eat too......! Yes, speaking of wine, less whiteheads, did you bring wine?"
was picked up by Shi Feizi, but Shao Liang had a cold war, and then nodded and said, "Well, bring ......"
Jiang Yousi immediately chimed in: "Take it out quickly, the old man still doesn't believe it, can it be compared to the old man's wine?"
Shao Liang didn't know why, but when he really reached this last moment, his heart suddenly became very quiet, and there was no trace of waves, as if he had already put life and death out of the way, and there was no longer any trembling when he picked up the hand of the wine jar.
A low sound of "bang ......" came, and Shao Liang opened a jar of spirits, and a pungent smell of wine instantly spread all over him, and then, Shao Liang pushed the wine jar in front of Jiang Yousi, signaling that he could taste it.
Jiang Yousi frowned and said, "Boy, you drink a bowl first." ”
Shao Liang's heart was like water at the moment, and he echoed faintly: "What? Are you afraid of poison?"
"The old man asks you to drink, you just drink!" Jiang Yousi seemed to be a little unaccustomed to Shao Liang's calm appearance.
Shao Liang didn't say anything anymore, but poured himself a bowl of wine, glanced at Jiang Yousi, and drank it all in an instant.
"Tut-tut, good wine, good wine! This is good wine!" Shao Qi deliberately amplified his voice, almost as if he was shouting.
Jiang Yousi was stunned for a moment, until she saw that Shao Liang was fine, and then she poured herself a bowl of spirits, but she didn't rush to drink it, but put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
Seeing this, Shi Feizi on the side immediately eagerly poured himself a bowl of wine, but unlike Jiang Yousi, he learned to drink it all in one go, but the result was different from Shao Yu, as soon as a bowl of wine was in his stomach, he saw Shi Feizi coughing violently, and even wanted to cough up the grilled fish he had eaten before.
"Oops, what kind of wine is this? Why is it so burning? ahem...... Shao Baitou, could it be a real poison bar?" Shi Feizi coughed and questioned Shao Yan.
Shao Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Senior senior, you are not good at drinking on weekdays, and you don't understand the deliciousness of this strong wine, but this is by no means poisonous wine, you can rest assured." ”
At this time, Jiang Yousi on the side slowly brought the wine bowl to his mouth, but he didn't drink like Shao Yu and Shi Feizi, but took a sip carefully, then smashed the bar, frowned, took another sip, and took another sip, until he drank half a bowl of wine, Jiang Yousi put down the wine bowl, and then stared at Shao Yu intently, and didn't even speak.
This time he showed Shao Liang Mao, Shao Liang couldn't guess the other party's mind at all, and there was no way to know how the other party felt about this spirit, and his heart just now was like a stasis of water and ripples at this time, which made Shao Liang very uncomfortable, but there was nothing to do.
Finally, Jiang Yousi was the first to speak, only to see him purse his lips and say in a soothing tone: "Boy, where did you get this wine?"
Shao Yu replied faintly: "You don't seem to need to know this, right?"
Jiang Yousi was stunned for a moment, and then asked again: "What about this wine...... What's your name?"
"Name?" Shao Qi hesitated for a moment, and then replied willfully, "Rotten wine." ”
"What? Rotten wine? How could anyone in this world give such a name to fine wine?" Jiang Yousi said with a puzzled face.
However, the clever young man heard the word "wine" in Jiang Yousi's words, and the stones hanging in his heart fell a lot in an instant.
Although Shao Liang was happy in his heart, he still pretended to be windless and waveless on the surface, and then replied: "It's just a false name, if it's a good wine, it naturally can't be hidden, if it's a bad wine, what's the use of a good name?"
"Okay, good, good opinion! The old man likes it!" Jiang Yousi suddenly became excited, and then looked like she couldn't stop at all, and continued to speak: "Boy, you are very courageous and insightful, the old man likes it, but the most important thing is that this wine is delicious!
This time, he was stunned, obviously he didn't have to die, and the hanging stone was completely put down, but seeing Jiang Yousi's sudden change of attitude, no one could accept it, not to mention that Jiang Yousi was trying to talk endlessly.
"What...... What's the reason?" Shao Qi asked a little sluggishly.
"Of course it's the truth in the wine!" Jiang Yousi said excitedly: "Hey! It's really in vain! Although the old man has been claiming to be famous for so many years, and looking at all the fine wines from afar, he has forgotten the true truth of wine, and that is the truth! That's right, if the wine is not strong, then what's the use of drinking it?"
Shao was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Jiang Yousi seemed to open her heart, and continued to speak: "For so many years, the old man has been following the taste of the wine, the extension of the mouth, and even thought about adding flowers and plants to the wine to taste, but ...... But they ignore the true nature of wine, spirits! Yes! That's right! If there are no spirits, how can it be called wine?"
Not only was Shao Yu stunned, but even Shi Feizi and Xiaojiu on the side looked completely unaware, such a Jiang Yousi, they had never seen it before.
Jiang Yousi didn't care about the strange eyes of the three of them, and took up the only half bowl of spirits left, drank it all, and didn't forget to smash his mouth after drinking, looking like he had an endless aftertaste.
"Good wine! Good wine! The old man is a mouthful! This rotten wine is a good wine!" Jiang Yousi sighed to herself.
Seeing this, Shao Yu felt that everything had cleared after the rain, so he began to pour himself a bowl of spirits, and at the same time picked up a grilled drunken fish, ready to fill his stomach, but at this moment, Jiang Yousi abruptly stretched out the grilled drunk fish in Shao Yu's hand.
"Haha, boy, I'll tell you the truth, your grilled drunken fish is really good, it tastes delicious, and the old man understands a truth when he eats it!" Jiang Yousi stared at Shao Qi and smiled.
Shao Liang said: "Senior Jiang, you ...... You say. ”
"Haha!" Jiang Yousi laughed loudly: "The old man understands, the old man's wine is more suitable for roasting drunk fish!haha......"
Jiang Yousi's laughter also affected the cooperation of Shi Feizi on the side, only to hear Shi Feizi also laugh loudly: "Hahaha, yes! The old guy's brain has finally opened up!"
Looking at the appearance of Jiang Yousi and Shi Feizi, and then listening to the unbridled laughter of the two, Shao Qi only glanced at Xiao Jiu, and then raised the corners of his mouth at the same time, slightly embarrassed......
