Chapter 13 Wine Confidant
When I walked into the room, I saw that the light inside was dim, and there were cobwebs, broken baskets, broken dustpans, broken wood and other debris scattered all over the ground. In the innermost part of the wall, next to the base of the wall, there was a long dilapidated case full of forging materials and tools. To the left of the long table is a charcoal stove with some burning ashes still remaining.
When Mr. Wu saw the forging materials on the case, he couldn't wait to walk over, rummaged carefully, and found a lot of useful materials after a while. Suddenly, Mr. Wu casually glanced at it and found a fine rosewood box on the right edge of the long table. Curious, he gently opened the wooden box, his eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly there was a sense of déjà vu. I saw a delicate small hammer in the wooden box, and the word "Qingtian" was carved on the hammer handle, and I couldn't help but be surprised and delighted. He slowly turned around, walked up to Fu Qingyun, and said excitedly, "You...... Is your father's name Fu Canglong?" Fu Qingyun and Fu Hongying were taken aback, surprised, and stammered, "You...... How do you know your father's name?"
Mr. Wu burst into tears, and said with excitement on his face: "Child, my father and I are good brothers who are righteous and married to Jinlan, and I am your uncle!" Fu Hongying was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you really our uncle?" Mr. Wu snorted heavily, tears of excitement glistening in his eyes. With a plop, Fu Qingyun and Fu Hongying fell to their knees, and said with guilt on their faces: "Uncle, I am Fu Qingyun, this is my sister Fu Hongying, we offended your driver, and even injured you, it is really a crime that deserves death, and please forgive me!" Mr. Wu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Don't blame yourself, even if our uncle and nephew don't know each other." The crowd laughed and said yes. Fu Qingyun said happily: "Uncle, how did you and your father meet back then, and why did you separate later?" Mr. Wu was surprised: "Why, didn't Brother Fu tell you about his past?" Fu Qingyun's eyes flashed a trace of sadness, and said: "My father never told us, and later, my mother died, and soon my father followed, so we have no way of knowing what happened to him before." Mr. Wu sighed and said, "Alas, the affectionate parting has been sad since ancient times, and Brother Fu is probably afraid of evoking the previous sad things, so he will never mention it!"
Mr. Wu looked at the hammer carefully, gently stroked the word "Qingtian" on the hammer handle, his eyes showed infinite longing, and said: "It was sixteen years ago, the five-year Tiangong Competition was held as scheduled, and I bid farewell to my hometown and went to Wufu City to participate in the Tiangong Competition. Just one day before the Tiangong Competition, I came to Wufu City. When I entered the city, it was bustling with pedestrians, and it was very prosperous, and this was the first time in my life that I entered the city, and I was very excited. As I was walking, I suddenly smelled an aroma of caramel, soy sauce mixed with cooked meat. I rushed for a few days, has not eaten a full meal, has long been hungry hungry, the body fluttered, now follow the aroma to find, turn a corner, only to see the boss of a restaurant standing on the street, the golden signboard is written 'Zhongtianlou' three big characters, flashing, bright and dazzling. Bursts of wine and meat spurted out of the restaurant, and the sound of the chef's knives and spoons and the shouting of the running hall resounded.
I went upstairs and sat down on a seat by the window. After a while, the running hall brought a pot of wine and four-color side dishes. I didn't care about anything else, and poured myself a drink.
There was a big man sitting on the west seat, and I saw that this person looked to be in his thirties, wearing a green cloth robe, with a very burly figure, colorful eyebrows, eyes like stars, and a windy and frosty face.
This person is Fu Canglong, the elder brother of Fu.
At present, there are three people sitting on the east seat, two men and one woman. The man to the woman's right looked old-fashioned and unmoved, and the man to the woman's left drank and ate meat, looking very bold, and laughing with the woman from time to time, and it could be seen that the woman liked the bold man very much.
This bold man is the big brother who sees the ghost. The two people sitting next to him, the woman was his junior sister Violet, and the man was his master brother Crazy Dragon.
I saw that both of them were good men in wine, and each of them drank in a big gulp, and for a moment the wine worm was so tight that I couldn't bear it anymore, and drank it in a big gulp.
At this moment, suddenly two bartenders brought up two large jars of wine from downstairs and placed them on the empty table next to the staircase, and the restaurant owner in brocade clothes followed closely and stood on one side of the two jars of wine. This boss is in his fifties, with a big belly, a round figure, and a very delicate beard, which adds a bit of joy to him.
The boss looked around, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Customers, excuse me, if it affects your drinking or eating, please don't be surprised!" Thanks to the care of your customers, this restaurant has been doing prosperous business to this day. In order to give back to customers, the restaurant held a wine fight, and whoever wins will be exempted from drinking money for three days. I wonder if the customers would like to participate in the wine fight?' This wine fight is very unique, and as soon as the boss's voice ended, the customers enthusiastically participated.
I, Brother Fu and Brother Ghost are all alcoholics, and this activity is like drowsiness and encountering a pillow, wonderful!
After a while, the two bartenders, at the suggestion of the boss, took dozens of large bowls and lined them up on the table next to the wine jar, all of which were full. The smell of alcohol is pungent, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Some customers frowned and retreated.
The proprietor looked around at the customers in a circle, and said, 'Everyone, please, I don't know which good man wants to drink this first bowl of wine!'
Looking at the dozens of large bowls of wine lined up at a table, the customers who were still actively participating just now, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to pick this head. Although I was a heavy drinker, this was the first time I had seen such a scene in my life. The drinking event was at an impasse for a while.
Seeing that no one dared to pick this head, the boss shook a few times, with a look of disdain on his face.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.
At this moment, I heard someone shouting, 'I'll have a bowl first!' and the voice of the man was like thunder, and the deadlock was broken. Everyone's eyes were focused on that person, who was the ghost brother.
Violet pulled the sleeve of the ghost brother, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he seemed to persuade him not to be strong. The ghost brother smiled at her, and there was an unconcealable masculinity in his gentleness.
The ghost brother stepped forward, picked up a big bowl of wine, laughed, and drank it with his neck up. The bartender then filled it up again.
The boss was surprised to see that he was so drunk, and smiled: "It's so refreshing!"
Brother Fu and I couldn't bear it anymore, so we also walked up, each picked up a big bowl of wine, and drank it with a grunt.
The ghost brother was also very bold when he saw the two of us, and he was very happy, and said happily: 'Happy!
I saw that the ghost brother did three bowls in a row, and the two of us did not hesitate, and we also accompanied each of us to do three bowls in a row. The customer next to him saw that the three of us drank an amazing amount of alcohol, and they were timid, and they never dared to come up to fight.
The three of us were talking and laughing and drinking a lot of wine, and it was more chic than drinking water and tea.
The three of us had a bucket of wine, which alarmed the drinkers upstairs and downstairs in Zhongtianlou, and even the cooks and firemen under the stove also came upstairs to watch.
In a short time, the two jars of wine were drunk, and they could no longer pour out half a drop.
The ghost brother looked up to the sky and laughed, full of pride, and shouted, "Bartender, bring two more jars of wine." ’
The boss's face was pale, his mustache formed a straight line, and he was panting heavily, and he looked stingy at this time.
The bartender stuck out his tongue, and at this time, he begged to see the excitement, and did not dissuade him, so he went to hug two large jars of wine.
Everyone saw that the three of us looked heroic and heroic, you have a bowl, I have a bowl, and I have a bowl. After only one meal, the three of them had drunk more than 30 bowls, and their faces still did not change, and they did not have half of the wine, and they admired it in their hearts.
In a short time, the two jars of wine were drunk again.
The ghost brother sighed, and in an instant, his eyes lit up, and he snorted heavily, and said sharply: "Why can't you drink this wine so much, bartender, go and bring the wine again!"
The boss's eyes widened angrily, and his mustache was blown up and down.
He wanted to stop the wine fight, but after all, this matter was caused by himself, and they were all drinkers, so it was not good to be too blunt, so his face turned peaceful, and he bowed his hand and said with a smile: "The three heroes are really immortals in wine, and they are deeply admired, but unfortunately I don't have much wine left, and if the three of them continue to fight, they must drink my restaurant dry, and please have mercy on the three of them, so that they can stop fighting, so that they can make a living for me." ’
The three of us are drunk, and we are willing to fight.
Violet, who was standing on the side, came over and persuaded: "Second Senior Brother, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, you have already drunk so much wine, why do you have to drink people to bankrupt?"
The ghost brother seems to care very much about the words of the public to lose the snow, but when he meets a new confidant, how can he easily stop drinking and leave, his face is embarrassed for a while, and he is silent.
Brother Fu seemed to see what the ghost brother meant, and said with a smile: "My three chess opponents will meet good materials, if you want to distinguish the victory or defeat, I am afraid it will not be easy." If you drink like this, the boss is not so angry that his belly bursts, so he has to give us an eviction order. ’
Everyone looked at the boss's bulging belly like a balloon, and suddenly felt funny, and couldn't help laughing.
The boss was so embarrassed that his face turned red, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
I saw that although this boss was a little stingy, he could be regarded as a master of living at home, so I couldn't help but feel pity, and said with a smile: 'Two good men, as the so-called future is long, although you and I are not able to enjoy ourselves today, he will have a good opportunity in the future, you and I will drink a thousand cups, drink him in the dark, the sun and the moon are dark, wouldn't it be better!'
Brother Fu laughed a few times and said, "Very good! Then we will have wine today and get drunk today, and get drunk without wine tomorrow." ’
