Although Mu Mangzi and Wucheng didn't know what the rules of "first-class one" were, they were probably blessed to eat, and they were happy to bloom 'flowers' in their hearts, so they were busy giving gifts and thanking them, and came out with the uncle, and someone came to invite them to be placed in a guest room.

After a while, someone brought herbal tea.

Mu Mangzi took a sip, different from the tea he usually drinks, there is little bitterness, but there is an indescribable very comfortable taste, I don't know what to use as a metaphor for a while, and said, "What kind of tea is this?"

The man said, "This is a special tea made by my people, called Eagle Tea." That is, later generations called "Laoyin tea".

Wu Cheng smiled: "I've never heard of it, it's the 'hair' of the eagle?"

Mu Mangzi knew that this was Wucheng's deliberate nonsense, and wanted to laugh, but when he thought that the eagle was a sacred object in the Dragon Treasure Pit, he didn't laugh.

The man said: "This kind of tea, the best of which grows on very high cliffs, can only be picked by eagles, hence the name." In order to get the best tea, the warriors had to climb where only eagles could fly. ”

Wu Cheng nodded seriously.

The man said, "This tea is thirst-quenching, but you can drink it in large bowls, and you don't have to taste it one bite at a time." The two of them are waiting here, and when the time comes, they will come and have dinner. ”

Mu and Wu thanked them.

When it was time for the banquet, Mu Mangzi and Wucheng were invited to the banquet.

When I entered the big room I had just entered, I saw that the owner of the bamboo village and the uncle had arrived first, and there were three other men, the eldest in his thirties, and the youngest in his twenties, who were already waiting.

The owner of the bamboo village introduced: "Two rare guests, this is my uncle, you have seen it. The three small ones are my sons, from the oldest to the smallest, bamboo, bamboo, bamboo, bamboo. ”

Mu Mangzi listened to the names of these sons and wanted to laugh a little.

After giving gifts to each other, they will be seated according to the age of the guest and host.

The owner of the bamboo village said: "According to the customs of my village, today's distinguished guests are here, and it is the auspicious day of the engagement of the little 'girl', and each of them will put up the table according to the etiquette. ”

Mu Mangzi didn't know what he was going to set up, so he glanced at Wucheng, but saw that he was in a daze.

He didn't know, Wu Cheng was thinking at this time: "The platform is not a platform, as long as there is wine, it is a good platform." ”

After a while, some people brought in wild animals, hearts, livers, tongues, ears, belly, intestines and other salty products, as well as several kinds of local new vegetables.

Mu Mangzi said: "Dare to ask the owner of the village, what are the first-class rules, and what are the particulars?"

The owner of the bamboo village said with a smile: "Close the 'door' and 'quite' sleepy, go out of the 'door' for a long time, and you will know when you see it." ”

Mu and Wu were still guessing, only to hear the uncle sing loudly: "Go to the first course: wine and toast guests on the stage." "The sound is long, special and soothing.

Seeing the wine, just like a scalper seeing a 'urine' bucket, Wu Cheng couldn't wait to take a sip, feeling sour, almost spit it out, holding back, swallowing it, and said, "Such wine? ”

The word "Mozi" is also a native language that he learned only after passing through the area of Baguo Quren.

Uncle said: "This is the wine made by Shumei, it is delicious." ”

Tree plum, that is, bayberry, native to Yuyao, Zhejiang, archaeological discovery more than 7,000 years ago in Zhejiang bayberry, seems to indicate that at least two or three thousand years ago has been transmitted to the Wujiang River Basin, or the local origin.

Wu Cheng took another sip in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said happily: "The fruit is a good wine!"

Officially entering the theme, the host and guest toast each other and drink heartily.

In the meantime, the prospective 'daughter-in-law' of the owner of the bamboo village, a handsome young man, came in to toast a round of wine, and several samurai also came in to toast the guests - to explain, this is not a wheel tactic arranged by the owner of the bamboo village, but a manifestation of the hospitality of the locals.

During the banquet, I only heard the shouting outside, one after another. Seeing that the two guests were suspicious, Zhufa, the second son of the owner of the village, said: "The dam is also open." ”

The east wind is blowing, the war drums are beating, and who is afraid of whom on the wine field! After several rounds of wine, the wine vessels are getting bigger and bigger, and the two wine fairies, Mu and Wu, have also felt cloudy and misty.

The wine depends on the character, the owner of the bamboo village saw these two guests, very bold, the person who came did not refuse, the more he liked it, and ordered to change the pot to drink.

Mu Mangzi knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely be defeated, and he would not dare to drink it again.

Seeing that the guests confessed, the owner of the bamboo village laughed and made people come up and remove the cups and plates.

The two guests thought it was over, and were ready to get up to thank them, and went back to the room to rest, only to hear their uncle sing: "On the second course: good tea is refreshing!"

It turns out that the second dish is tea, and all kinds of snacks are served at the same time.

After eating too much wine and being thirsty, Wu Cheng picked up the tea set, opened his throat and drank a big sip, feeling a little hot, and said, "Isn't this Eagle Tea?"

Uncle said with a smile: "This tea is brewed in boiling water, the leaves are green and green, the taste is sweet and refreshing, not only that, but it can also cure diseases, such as belly pain." This tea, from Hulao Creek, is a local famous tea. ”

Wu Cheng said: "I don't know about tea, but I know that there is Tianqifeng tea, and I also know that people here eat croton with swollen belly." ”

Two guests this time slowly taste tea, in order to sober up some wine, in addition to feeling particularly fragrant, can not taste the real meaning———— later, to the Song Dynasty, this tea to the emperor tribute tea, named Hu Laoxi tea; in the fifties of the twentieth century, the local people have dedicated this tea to a generation of great people *** appreciation.

Less to say later.

Fortunately, Wucheng and Mu Mangzi are massive, and under such hospitality, they are not yet under general anesthesia, and then add tea to drink, and there is some soberness, and the guests and hosts chat while drinking tea.

Wucheng flattered: "Village master, you are so blessed, there are three sons." ”

The owner of the village smiled: "We only have one son, and that is the dream dragon of Hu'an Palace." ”

Hearing the Menglong, Mu Mangzi remembered that he didn't know the life and death of the Mengyu, so he stayed up, knowing that his expression was not in line with the stage, so he stopped it.

The owner of the village continued: "I have three sons, but only one 'girl' child. The 'female' son is engaged today, and my big event is almost done, and the man is the son of the Dushi village to which Danfu Shui Yuhou belongs. ”

Mu Mangzi knew that the Du clan was the hometown of his sworn brother Du Qunfang, and the thought that he was dead began to be unhappy again.

Mu Mangzi was thinking about 'chaos', only to hear the singing outside, and Zhu Mi said, "It's starting to dance outside." ”

Mu Mangzi felt that there was no more open space in his belly, and said, "I'm full of wine and tea." It means to want to retreat.

The owner of the bamboo village smiled: "Please wait. ”

Without waiting for the two guests to wake up, the uncle sang again: "Go to the third course: the mountain delicacies and water are full of flavor!"

It turns out that the third course is to use rice, and it is difficult to see Wucheng, who has never said that he is full, and he 'touched' and 'touched' his belly, so rare food, he would rather die of swelling than continue to fight.

This time, fish, shrimp, crab, and various game meats were served, as well as starter dishes for rice.

After these three tables, the two guests had a swollen belly and a round belly, and the food seemed to be stuffed into the throat tube.

Mu Mangzi hiccuped and said, "Today's feast, life and mouth blessing!"

Uncle said: "The customs in this area are the most pleasing to the guests, if you stay for a few more days, you will have a good enjoyment, and you don't want to leave." ”

Wu Cheng said: "Today's full meal, I don't know how hungry I will be for a few days." He felt like he didn't even dare to burp up, and when he did, he would burp food.

Mu Mangzi said: "The most pleasing guest, it means that this area is very rich." ”

Uncle smiled: "That's not bad. This area is to Yelang, the salt road of the turtle country, Dan Road, there are many merchants, the bamboo utensils of the bamboo village are very famous, and the fish of the three Miao villages below are more than the pimples on the body of the leprosy treasure, so passing by the merchants, change some bamboo, fish and shrimp by the way. ”

Mu Mangzi nodded, thinking that this was similar to the Longbao Pit Village, but there was no need to take the method of 'exchange' in the Longbao Pit.

Suddenly, the owner of the bamboo village sighed lightly: "It's just that now, the war is tight, and the people of Chu are about to hit the 'door' of their home, I don't know if there will be these three in the future." Hey......"

Mu Mangzi nodded in agreement.

The uncle was also a little drunk, and said, "If the people of Chu caused trouble a few years ago, I would also go and pick up a sword of the general of Chu in the hands of a strong man." Now it's old and useless. You two are warriors of Hu'an Mountain, otherwise, where would you be willing to give you the things at the bottom of the box. If the people of Chu came, they would rather feed the dogs than give him a single 'hair'! Nowadays, the war is continuous, and the men are either on the battlefield or practicing martial arts, and most of the 'women' are on top of the hunting and fishing. ”

Mu Mangzi secretly screamed ashamed, but Wu Cheng was on it again: "Don't worry, these three today, I have grown a lot of strength, just to find the people of Chu to eliminate the disaster." ”

Mu Mangzi pouted, thinking: This person has benefited, and his true body of Chu people has forgotten.

The singing and footsteps outside became more and more enthusiastic, and Zhufa said, "Please go to the dance." ”

Mu Mangzi said: "I am full of wine and food, and I just want to sleep." ”

The master of the bamboo village said: "Don't dare to be strong." Please rest for both guests".

Speaking of this banquet, two guests are big.

This kind of hospitality etiquette in the local area, around the Sui and Tang dynasties, gradually evolved into a banquet method called "Sanyitai" ("Yitai" is a commonly used colloquial saying in Chongqing, with multiple meanings such as "great" and "Sao' Chong"). "Sanyutai" has been passed down to this day, and it is still the hospitality custom of the Gelao people in the Wujiang area, and the whole process lasts for several hours, long or even a day.

When visitors arrive in this area, enjoy the "Sanyutai", and all praise its abundance, deliciousness and enthusiasm to the extreme. It's just that friends with a small amount of alcohol and food are recommended to practice first before going, so that they can withstand the extreme enthusiasm of the simple and kind Wujiang people.

Tonight, in addition to being full of wine and food, for Mu Mangzi, there is a bigger harvest, that is, from the mouth of the owner of the bamboo village, he learned that Xiangshan father and son were removed, and Hu'an Palace has returned to normal, he believes that Yu Mengyu heard this good news, and will definitely return to Hu'an Mountain as soon as possible, and it should not be far away to see her again.

At the same time, Mu Mangzi and Wucheng also heard that there were monsters in Pangu Lake.

Let's say that the tree plum wine they drank tonight, that is, bayberry wine, tasted very good, but it had stamina, Mu Mangzi and Wu Cheng were helped into the room, and they didn't wake up.

When it was almost dawn, Mu Mangzi dreamed of a salt dragon, and when he woke up, he knew that it was a dream, but he couldn't remember the scene in the dream. Mu Mangzi thought secretly: "I don't know, the matter of monsters, does it have anything to do with Brother Yanlong?"

Salt Dragon, the former Hu'an Palace Tiger Ben, that is, the python king in the 'hole' of the pang, Mu Mangzi firmly believes that he is his good friend.

Mu Mangzi only woke up for a while, and before the wine 'sex' passed, he fell asleep in another dream.
