Chapter 5: Wine and Peaches
It is hot to death in summer and cold to death in winter, which is the characteristic sè of Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The cold winter makes people wrap up all kinds of down jackets and coats when they travel.
It's better to eat with fewer people, and it's better to celebrate the New Year with more people. This year's New Year is quite light, except for the Chinese New Year's Eve to go to his father for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and in the first month of the month, he went to his uncle Yao's to pay respects, and Liu Xiaoyu did not go anywhere the rest of the time.
With a leisurely life and an indifferent mentality, Xiao Rìzi is living more and more freely. It may be the reason for the mysterious space, but after graduating from a technical school, Liu Xiaoyu's original brain that was not very bright is now getting better and better, although it is not unforgettable, but after reading a few times, you can basically remember the same.
No, there is nothing to do, the Taoist "Tao Te Ching", the Huang Ting Sutra, and the Buddhist "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", after reading it for a few days, I can recite it fluently. Not to mention, although these classics are obscure and difficult to understand when you read them closely, you can always feel something that is indescribable and unclear when you calm down and taste them.
Following the life of the ancients, Liu Xiaoyu sees, tastes tea, and surfs the Internet every day. After trying the red ginseng wine in the space a few times, Liu Xiaoyu liked the mellow and fragrant feeling in the mouth, and he made two moving ginseng very bleeding, raised them in the ground of the space first, and then threw them into the wine jar. I specially bought a stainless steel flat wine jug, which is filled with good ginseng wine, and when I go out for a walk or morning exercise in winter, I take a sip from time to time, which can not only maintain health, but also drive away the cold.
He Lao is not old-hearted, and the whole old child's xìng personality is very close to Liu Xiaoyu, and between coming and going, the difference between these two is almost forty years old and young to become a pair of old friends.
Although Liu Xiaoyu can feel that the other party's family background should not be low from He Lao's speech and demeanor, but as for what the other party does and what his family background is, Liu Xiaoyu didn't even think about it in his indifferent state of mind, let alone ask.
Whenever the two chatted, He Lao would always say regrettably, Liu Xiaoyu learned boxing too late, if such a qualification was practiced from a young age, it would be too exaggerated to say that he could become a grandmaster, but at least he could become a good boxer. After hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu also knew in his heart that there was no space to appear, where did he get his talent and qualifications.
He Lao originally wanted to teach Liu Xiaoyu something better, but Liu Xiaoyu refused, saying that it was a certain age, and it was enough to have the ability to protect himself, so why should he learn that.
As time went by, Liu Xiaoyu's punching became better and better. learned other people's boxing in plain air, Liu Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. As a result, he also became friends with He Laotuo, no, after rubbing the wine twice, He Laotuo felt very good, and immediately offered to let him help buy two bottles of this wine. Liu Xiaoyu directly explained that there was no place to buy this wine, that is, he used ordinary sorghum wine and ginseng, which was not a good thing.
At that time, He Lao still didn't believe it, and said that he couldn't, this wine smelled, and the ginseng flavor and wine aroma were perfectly fused together, forming a mellow wine aroma, and it was even more medicinal but not violent, and it was definitely the best tonic for nourishing the body and qi. He Lao, who has a child's temper, accused Liu Xiaoyu of hiding his secrets, and he had good things but didn't know how to share them.
Of course, Liu Xiaoyu couldn't say that this was entirely because of the space, so he had to say that this wine was more troublesome and took time, and he would definitely send two bottles when it was ready, and He Lao Fang would stop.
Just after the fifteenth year of the first lunar month, He Lao's call came, saying that he asked Liu Xiaoyu to go to his place for dinner. also bluntly pointed out that he should bring his own wine. didn't shirk it, asked for the detailed address and hung up the phone, Liu Xiaoyu was a little funny.
Now the ginseng wine in the space is all used in the big altar, for fear that the people in the space will participate in the meeting to attract unnecessary attention, and when he sends it to his father and uncle later, it is directly sent wine, and the ginseng is still placed in the space.
I found a ten-pound empty wine jar from the space, poured ginseng wine and carried it with my hand and walked to He's hometown.
The cold temperature Liu Xiaoyu was completely unaffected, but in order not to attract attention, he still put on a long coat and gloves over a single coat.
After the New Year, the flow of people on the street has basically returned to normal. It may be that the people's living standards have improved, and the smell of the New Year is not so heavy this year. It's not like looking forward to the New Year every day when I was a child, but the flavor of the New Year at that time was quite heavy.
It was only more than two stops away, and Liu Xiaoyu didn't take the car, and walked leisurely all the way. Xihe Yayuan is the only large-scale high-end residential community in the suburbs. It is said that the house price is as high as more than 9,000 square meters, and with the geographical location of the suburbs, this price is already sky-high.
Walking to the door of the community, the security guard at the gate blocked Liu Xiaoyu's way, it turned out that the residents of the high-end community had cards to enter and exit, and strangers needed to be registered and confirmed when they entered and exited.
After registering, looking at the jar of sorghum wine placed on the side of the registration desk, the contempt and doubt flashing in the security guard's eyes made Liu Xiaoyu laugh in his heart. In these years, the dog's eyes are low, if it weren't for this pretty good coat, I guess I wouldn't have been so polite when I blocked the road just now.
Carrying a wine bottle while admiring the scenery of the neighborhood while continuing to walk, looking at some withered trees and flowers, I think when the day comes, this neighborhood will definitely be a different scene.
As he walked, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh not far in front of him, followed by a sturdy old man walking briskly.
"I know that you kid is too lazy to take the car, calculate the time and you are almost there, and sure enough, I met here." He Lao said as he glanced at the jar of wine in Liu Xiaoyu's hand.
"I said He Lao, it seems that you are not here to greet me, it should be this jar of wine in my hand?" Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile while holding the wine jar.
"Haha... I want to greet you, but of course I want to welcome this wine. He Lao grabbed the wine jar and said.
"Okay, I said Lao Hetou, it turns out that I have the same status as this jar of broken wine." Liu Xiaoyu scolded with a smile.
"What can I do, how can I be. Let's go, go home quickly, it's just us at home today, let's have a good drink. He Lao looked at the wine in his hand and said greedily.
"Oh? You're the only one in your house? Liu Xiaoyu asked.
"Yes, the nanny went back to her hometown for the New Year, it will take a few days to come, the children are busy, just the two of us at noon today, I have prepared a few specialty dishes." He Lao said while leading the way.
"Oh, that's it, then I'm blessed today, hurry up, I haven't eaten breakfast, and I'm here to eat your big family." Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile.
The environment of the community is very quiet, and the weather is still relatively cold, and there are almost no people in the community. After continuing to walk for a while, He Lao took Liu Xiaoyu into a unit corridor. I opened the door on the first floor and was just about to enter.
"Grandpa He, Happy New Year." Suddenly, a tender child's voice sounded, and when he turned his head, he saw a small figure squatting at the turning point above the stairs.
"It's a girl, why is it alone, your little aunt (the name of the nanny)?" He Lao beckoned the little guy to come to him and touched his head and asked.
This child really can't tell the difference between a man and a woman at a glance, and his small appearance is very handsome, with a pink sè, fleshy little face, big eyes, and long eyelashes. It looks like it should be a little girl, after all, there should be very few little boys named Nannan.
