Chapter 18 The Way of Buying and Selling

Let's say that on this day, the little fish took off the long knife and hung the sachet, took off the black robe and changed clothes, and when she had spare time, she waited for her makeup to walk the street, and when it was time off, her brother wandered on the street with her. The two of them had already walked three streets, the sun was hot, and my sister was already a little tired. When my brother saw this, he found a street teahouse. Call a pot of rain flower tea, a plate of candied fruit, escape the heat under the eaves, wait for a little cooler, and then go to the street. After taking a sip of tea, Shen Qi saw that the little sister took out the red bean and golden branch hairpin, held it in her hand and played with it carefully, sometimes shaking it, listening to it jingling, sometimes looking at the light to see its colorful colors. With shining eyes and happy faces, he can't put it down and treats it as a treasure. Shen Qi smiled slightly, undeniable, but in his heart, he was extremely distressed about his little sister, who was unable to play happily in the cardamom years, but he was accompanied by his two elder brothers to fight and kill all day long. The three of them are orphans, dependent on each other, not seeking wealth, fame and fortune, but only wishing to be warm and chic every day. It has been four years since they lived in Golden Scale, and the three of them finally had to settle down here, shelter from the wind and rain, and avoid the cold and frost. It's just that the position of Jinyiwei, although it is a decent livelihood, is often busy throughout the year, often reluctant to patrol the street day and night, and the two brothers also have occasional errands, so they can't accompany the little sister for a long time, but she often looks after the house alone and cares about it alone.

I was thinking about how to find some more small items and find a few dessert shops, but I heard a quarrel over there.

"Boss, this wine spoon in your hand has been held a few times, but it is less than a pot, which is obviously less than three catties?

"Ridiculous! What is your broken pot? How can it be compared with my wine spoon!? My wine spoon is made of a century-old mahogany heart, carved by a famous craftsman, and used by my grandfather, and has been passed down for three generations to this day, holding more than 10,000 catties of wine. In the past hundred years, I have drunk countless literati and artists, and I have even entered the palace to make tribute wine. A hundred years of word-of-mouth, how can I owe you those taels of wine?!"

"The wine recipe is steamed to attract the emperor, and a pot of open altar hooks the immortals. I naturally know the reputation of Drunken Immortal Fang, but the world is buying and selling for every penny, and this is not the reason why you are short of catties!"

"Lack of catties and less than two?! Old lady, I have been selling wine with my father since I was a child, and I have no less than tens of thousands of pots of wine in my hands today, but why does no one say that I am short of catties and two pounds? Don't say that I am an old lady, I have been drunk in the past hundred years, from the emperor to the rivers and lakes, how many wine insects have sold wine to the world, how can they not necessarily say that we drink less? I see that you are a fox, and you are clearly relying on your own posture to come here to mess around!! And the owner of the liquor store who quarreled with her was also a woman, but with thick eyebrows and big ears, a square scarf wrapped around her head, messy hair under it, thick arms, waist like a bucket, and eyes like bull's eyes pointing at the person in front of her and scolding.

"You!! You deceive the world and steal your name, it is clear that you want to drink less alcohol, and you want such a high price! If you don't admit it, you will hurt people. I won't buy this wine!" The woman also carried a little maid behind her, like a big lady in the city, naturally she couldn't compare to this market woman.

"You fox will say, 'This wine has gone into your pot, how do you know if it has been contaminated with something unclean? If you don't accompany me to apologize today, and then pay back the money to make up for the damage to my reputation in the Drunken Immortal Fang, I will definitely report it to the government and let the people of the entire Golden Scale City know how you maliciously smelled the fragrance of my drunken immortal fang's century-old wine!" The thick thigh-like shoulder slapped the counter, the porcelain bowls and spoons swayed wildly, and the chimes, cymbals, and cymbals sounded.

"You, you shrew, you bloody mouth!" is a deep boudoir peony flower, how can it be against the night rakshasa on the street. The young lady's ears were dyed red, but she read all the books of the sages, talking about etiquette, righteousness and shame, how could the ability to scold people be compared to the people in the market.

Listening to the noise, Shen Qi also remembered the origin of this Drunken Immortal Fang.

This drunken immortal fang was originally created by an old man in the former Jin Dynasty in his later years, the old man's surname was Zheng, he was a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, he was a drunkard when he was young, and he rented a room by the Qinhuai River when he was old. When he was young, he tasted a hundred wines, and he brewed a good wine in the evening, with the experience of many years of old wine insects, the wine he brewed was famous for a while, and the slogan of getting drunk with the heroes of the world, won the love of the knights of the rivers and lakes, and for a time it was famous in the south of the Yangtze River, and the name shocked the Southern Jin Dynasty.

It was rumored that the emperor of the former Jin Dynasty paid a private visit, smelled a trace of wine on the side of the street, and then looked for the fragrance of wine in the Golden Scale City. As a result, the steaming of the wine party attracted the emperor's movement, and a pot of open altars hooked the immortals! Zuixianfang has also become a palace tribute wine, but this is already a matter of the previous dynasty.

"I don't know who that girl is, but she was very handsome. It's just a pity that I met this Qin Huai's predator today, I'm afraid there will be a little trouble!"

"But what the girl said is true, the wine in this drunken fairy shop is more and more expensive, and the more it is sold, the less it is sold!"

"This is natural, after the death of Zheng Shuang, the owner of the wine shop, his daughter recruited a famous ruffian in the south of the city, and the bandits came to spoil Lao Zheng's family property. That splash is a gambler, and the silver that Lao Zheng saved has already been squandered by him, and now he is afraid that he has even gambled the capital to buy rice. How else does this make a good wine?"

The people at the table next to him drank tea and looked at the noise in the distance, and talked about the current situation of the Drunken Immortal Fang, and Shen Qi on the side also felt the same way.

"This Xiong Zhuang, who was born by Zheng Shanyu, is notoriously bitter and mean, and he really can't do business. This drunken immortal fang, it seems that it is hanging with the breath of that time-honored signboard!"

"That day, I was so hungry that I went to make a pot without telling my mother-in-law, but when I came back to taste it, this wine is not that taste!"

The man next to him shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said no more, just watched the farce on the other side of the street from a distance, and watched the changes.

A pun on the truth. But it also woke up the person next to him.

Xiao Yu'er didn't know when he had already collected the hairpin, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he looked at the helpless figure in the crowd from afar, as if he saw himself who was once wearing rag clothes, holding two copper coins in his palm, and standing in front of the bun shop in the snow.

"Brother, let's go over and take a look!" Xiao Yu'er gently wiped her eyes, wiped away her sadness, and became that cunning and cute little fox again.

"Okay, little second brother, settle the bill!" Shen Qi is a young man with a burning heart, and when he sees injustice, he will help each other, and he can't see such despicable behavior in his heart. Naturally, he didn't sit idly by, so he put the money on the table and led his sister straight away.
