Chapter 620: Old Acquaintances
Ji Yuan looked at the man in the resting pavilion, even if his appearance was blurred in his vision, but the peculiarity of the beard was still clear at a glance, which made Ji Yuan can't help but be a little interested in this person, and after the other party said this, he bent down and took down a hanging leather bag from a wooden box next to him.
The leather bag shook twice in the man's hand, and there was a slight sound of water inside, and then it was thrown by the man to Ji Yuan.
"Sir takes the wine!"
Seeing the leather bag flying, Ji Yuan hurriedly took two steps closer to catch it with both hands, and then the bag rebounded under the neck and fell into his hand.
Although Ji Yuan's movements were not panicked, they somewhat disappointed the man in the pavilion, but he didn't show it, and pointed to his side.
"Sir, you might as well come in and rest. β
Ji Yuan took the bag, pulled out the stopper on it and smelled it, a rich aroma of wine came to his nose, judging from the taste, it should be a kind of spirit.
Ji Yuan directly lifted the bag from his lips and poured a sip of wine into the air, tasting it before swallowing it.
"Yes, it's good wine!"
With that, Ji Yuan took the bag and walked into the resting pavilion, then sat down on the side, picked up the bag and drank it several times, and then handed the bag back to the man in the pavilion.
The latter took the bag and took a sip, looking up and down.
"Sir, a good amount of wine, this wine can drink so many sips without changing its face, Gan began to believe that you can fight without getting drunk. β
The man was very bold, and after drinking, he handed the wine to Ji Yuan again, and the latter did not shirk, and after saying thank you, he poured a few sips.
"I have ten catties of spirits in this bag, doesn't Mr. have a white wine jug, just fill it up. β
"Hehe, the strong man is bold, but Ji Mou can drink a few sips, and besides, such a little wine is not enough. β
The man smiled, thinking that Ji Yuan meant that this bag of wine was not enough for him to drink, so he didn't say anything, looked at a funeral procession that was passing by at the moment, looked at the figure of wearing linen and filial piety in the crowd outside, and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. came back from drinking alone and singing sadly from Tomb Hill, did he go to pay tribute to his relatives and friends this morning?"
Sad song? What kind of sad song am I? Ji Yuan felt that what he had just sung might not be cheerful, but it would not be sad.
Ji Yuan couldn't help laughing dumbly, but it was not easy to say anything, so he didn't reply, and after the silence leaned slightly, his eyes swept to the box at the man's feet, although it looked blurry, but it was roughly similar to the structure of the back box, similar to the scholar's bookbox, some people brought baggage, and some people brought this kind of back box, which was especially convenient for individuals to bring tribute to the sacrifice.
"The strong man has just finished the sacrifice?"
Hearing Ji Yuan's words, the man sighed.
"Hey, Gan hasn't come for a few years, I don't think my friend has passed away, and if I come to Lianyuefu City in the future, there will be no one to drink with me, oh yes, in Xia Gan Qingle, the people of Shangrong Mansion, now it is a home from all over the world, I see that Mr. is extraordinary, can you tell me your name?"
The man saluted with his fists as he spoke, and Ji Yuan grabbed the wine bag and bowed his hand slightly, replying.
"Fate, strategy, fate, thank you for the wine. β
Ji Yuan stood up as he spoke, handed the bag back to Gan Qingle, who took the bag and got up to give him a salute in return, when he saw Ji Yuan walking out of the rest pavilion, he suddenly felt that the amount in his hand was wrong, and he shook it to find that most of the wine in the bag had gone, just now Ji Yuan didn't seem to drink much, but it was obviously not poured out when he saw so much less at once, and when he saw Ji Yuan go out, his face still did not change, Gan Qingle couldn't help but nodded.
"What a lot of alcohol!"
Gan Qingle thought for a while, hung the wine bag back to the side of the back box, then bent down and lifted the box with one hand, lifted the box on his back, and chased towards Ji Yuan not far from the pavilion with a brisk step.
"Mr. Ji, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, let Gan go all the way, although this big cellar wine is not too famous in Lianyue Mansion, but in Gan's opinion, it is not inferior to some famous wines, the original ten-year cellar roast taste is the most mellow, I can take Mr. to buy." β
Ji Yuan didn't dislike this person, and he was even more interested in the wine just now, since the other party mentioned the place to buy wine, of course he was happy to walk with people.
Lianyuefu City is actually not far from Tomb Hill, and the resting pavilion just now is already in the middle of the two places, so even if he didn't use any magical powers, Ji Yuan walked briskly with Gan Qingle, and arrived at Lianyuefu City less than an hour later.
Before entering the city, the bustling sound had already passed through the city gate and came to Ji Yuan's ears, when the two of them entered the city, the hustle and bustle of the city all poured into Ji Yuan's ears, he could hear the hot market atmosphere through the sound, as if he could see the peddlers and pawns and all kinds of people in the distance.
Although Gan Qingle, who was traveling with him, was not from Lianyue Mansion, but through the small talk along the way, he let Ji Yuan know that this person was quite familiar with Fucheng, and after more than half an hour of familiarity, Gan Qingle's initial perception of Ji Yuan was also clearer, knowing that this was a person with extraordinary knowledge and bearing, and there was a feeling that people wanted to get close.
"Mr. Ji, do you want to visit Huifu directly, or do you want to go to drink first?"
"Let's go to drink first, Ji has never been short of wine, and now it's not very comfortable. β
"Haha, Mr. is really temperamental, go, Gan has a treat!"
Being able to make friends, Gan Qingle's sentimentality because his friends have already passed away has also faded a lot, life in the world, in addition to many proud moments, it is also a great pleasure to make friends who are pleasing to each other.
Tianbao country is also a state capital system, Lianyuefu City as the capital of a city, of course, it is not a small city, Ji Yuan and Gan Qingle walked around the city, walked through the streets and alleys away from the bustling avenue, and finally turned into a relatively deserted small street, and then into a spacious but deep old alley.
Looking from afar, in Ji Yuan's blurred vision, at the end of the alley, that is, at the entrance at the other end of the alley, there is a faΓ§ade, and a big pennant is hung outside.
"Sir, here we are. β
Gan Qingle laughed, his steps increased significantly, and before the person approached the store, his loud voice had already shouted first.
"Lao Yao, you can prepare the best cellar wine, it will be ten years of alcohol!"
"Gan Daxia is here, of course there are as many as you want!"
An old man leaned out into the alley and responded with the same loud voice, his smile and voice as strong as the cellar wine.
Ji Yuan followed Gan Qingle to the front of the store, this is a small shop with a side door on one side, and the counter is facing the outside, and there are some vertical wooden boards on the side, obviously the wooden planks will be inserted from the inside when it closes at night, there are no other guys in the store, just an old man who looks very burly and sturdy, just standing at the door of the store is a strong smell of wine.
"This is Mr. Ji, I specially brought someone to take care of your business, but you can't take the defective product!"
"Look at what Gan Daxia said, even if I still want the signboard of the cellar wine, let alone you brought it. β
The old man across the counter, in the store to Gan Qingle and Ji Yuan saluted, the two also shallow in return, in the smile of the three, Ji Yuan suddenly turned to the other side of the alley, outside the street at this moment is not a small team passing by, there are cars and horses, there are also many maids and attendants, not to mention the guards on high-headed horses, among them is Ji Yuan familiar people.
Gan Qingle also looked outside at this moment, and glanced back at Ji Yuandao.
"Mr. Ji will drink here first, and Gan will come back when he goes. β
"But what's wrong with this team?"
Gan Qingle looked back at the team that had passed by, and looked at Ji Yuan again, he knew that Ji Yuan was a smart person, and he didn't plan to hide it.
"Just now there is a female officer on horseback in the team, named Lu Qianyan, is an amazing woman in Tingliang Kingdom, he appeared with the team, it is not easy to come to this team, Gan followed to see, if there is any interesting matter, come back and share it with Mr!"
Of course, Ji Yuan also saw Lu Qianyan, and also knew that Chu Ruyan, the eldest princess of Tingliang, was also in the carriage of the team, and even Monk Huitong was also in the team, but he didn't say anything, just nodded at Gan Qingle.
"Gan Daxia just go, I'll buy wine here first. β
"Okay, I'll be with you for a while, and I'll be back soon. β
After speaking, Gan Qingle walked out of the alley, and then walked naturally in the direction where the team had just left.
"It's also a ...... who loves to join in the fun"
Ji Yuan muttered with a smile, and the old man on the side obviously heard it, and echoed with a smile.
"Gan Daxia has always been like this, by the way, how much wine does Mr. want to make, but there is a container? Gan Daxia's wine bag has been filled. β
Ji Yuan looked back at the old man at the counter of the store, and took out the white jade Qiandou pot from his sleeve with a smile.
"Loading ...... Well, let's have a big altar. β
Ji Yuan originally wanted to say that it was full, but when he looked at the large and small wine jars in this store, there was no amount of thousands of buckets together, and he also knew that there were many years in it that were not enough, and Ji Yuan was not very picky about drinking, but if he had a choice, of course he would buy good wine.
"Okay, a jar of wine in the cellar, sir, you still know the goods, this jar of wine is fragrant and covers the first floor, you see, this jar has to have four catties, all of which are more than ten years ......old."
"Not this kind of altar, but that kind of altar. β
Ji Yuan interrupted the old man's words, glanced at the small jar that the old man put on the counter, and stretched out his hand to the back of the store, where there were two rows of wine jars as high as the thighs of ordinary people.
"Huh?"
"Why don't you sell it?"
"Sell, sell, sell, of course, this jar is a bit big, uh, where is the gentleman, I loaded a cart to help the gentleman send it?"
"Calculate how much it will cost first, and I'll take the wine myself. β
Seeing Ji Yuan's smile, the old man was stunned for a moment, his face was happy, and he said more politely.
"This big jar holds sixty pounds of wine, only a lot more, Tong Su is not deceitful, I count Mr. sixty pounds, you give 1,200 Wen, silver and copper coins. β
Twenty dollars a pound is very fair in terms of the quality of this wine.
A moment later, there was still a broken silver that had just been weighed on the counter of the store, and the old man looked out of the alley in a daze, just now he moved the wine jar to the side door, and then saw Ji Yuan, who had paid the money, directly grabbed the wine jar with one hand, and left the alley with it.
This scene made the old man dumbfounded, this big wine jar weighed a hundred catties even on the jar, and he wasted his strength when he moved it, this elegant gentleman actually had this strength, which was worthy of being brought by Gan Daxia.
Then the old man suddenly reacted to something, and hurriedly probed and shouted in the direction of the alley where Ji Yuan could no longer be seen.
"Sir, Gan Daxia said to let you wait here~~!"
The voice came out, and after a while, a calm voice came back.
"Don't worry, Ji can find him......"
