Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 5 The Little Lady Who Sells Wine
Drunken Flower House is the most prosperous restaurant in Fallen Leaf City, and there is no one.
Although the Fallen Leaf City is located in a remote area and the scale is not large, there should be a school, shops, prayer temples, and restaurants for people to buy drunk.
Li Yunfeng wandered all the way to the north of the city, he was standing here for the first time, different from what he had seen in previous books, the feeling of being truly immersive made him feel unreal at this time.
Four days ago, I inexplicably came to an unfamiliar place, a wet grass, opened my eyes, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, the surroundings were empty, there were few people, only the chirping of insects and birds, and no one answered the loud shouts, and the rest echoed in the empty mountains and fields, leisurely, like mockery.
The initial panic was left behind by Li Yunfeng as early as when he met the first pedestrian on the road, only knowing that it was in a territory called Liang State, and the current Emperor His Majesty was twelve years old, and the place where he was now was Funiu Prefecture in Liang State, and the nearest city was Deciduous City in the west.
It's just that Li Yunfeng miscalculated the word "recent" in the mouth of the ancients, and on the road to the west, although the language is the same, the strange dress still scared many local village names, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he stole a piece of clothing on a dark night, trying to see if he could fit in the next day, and had a full meal, but he didn't think that the next day he still let the village name be recognized, and he was regarded as a young thief who didn't learn well, and he was kicked out of the village with a mess.
The area near the southeast of Funiu Prefecture is already sparsely populated and has continuous mountain ranges. The southernmost jungle and the mountains are inhabited by some Miao people who are almost isolated from the world, and some local villagers have no knowledge, but it is only the habit of living for generations that has produced a natural xenophobic mentality, which makes Li Yunfeng feel so embarrassed.
Hoping to get to the so-called big city like Fallen Leaf City, it might be easier, so Li Yunfeng went all the way to the west to cut through thorns and thorns, a pair of broken straw sandals or picked up by himself on the mountain road, may have been abandoned by a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood, when he saw the outline of the city from a distance, he saw four guys wearing official soap clothes riding horses from the official road, and originally wanted to find some kind of lame reason to sneak into the city, but the result was unexpectedly smooth.
There is no panic and nervousness, only a sense of freshness, the first time to experience shopping with a different mood and a new identity Li Yunfeng, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, although it is not like a dirt bun, but the antique pavilions, street vendors, and all kinds of costumes that can only be seen in books and TV in the past let him feast his eyes, and he made up his mind at the moment, since he has come, he must see all the mountains and rivers and taste all the flavors.
My heart is my hometown.
In a ready-to-wear shop on a street corner, I bought a well-fitting green cloth gown, and then went to take a hot bath, Li Yunfeng looked new from head to toe, and his sixteen-year-old face looked slightly green, but fortunately, his physique was slender, and his appearance was not outstanding.
The place he is going to now is the Drunken Flower Building in the north of the city, and take a look at what kind of red and green this place that only exists in his imagination.
There are three cities in Funiu Prefecture, the Fallen Leaf City located in the "Ox Nose" is the smallest one, and there are also the "Cow Ridge" Qingshui City and the "Ox Hip" Chu City.
There is a chariot and horse official road leading to Qingshui City in the north of the Fallen Leaf City, which is the most spacious road among the four gates, before Ye Qinglime and his party could have gone out of the north of the city, but they came by water from the Parrot Island of the Jingyu Dynasty adjacent to Funiu Continent, and the nearest one to rest is the Fuke Building in the east of the city, and the three women walked the rivers and lakes for the sake of experience, more to see the world, to take a walk, so they don't want to be too public, the small Fallen Leaf City has few people in and out of the rivers and lakes, and it is located in a remote area, and they can't rent horses for riding, so they don't want to stay longer, and they take a detour to the north of the cityγ
Li Yunfeng wandered around all the way, stopped and stopped, looked left and right, and enjoyed himself.
Colorful oil-paper umbrellas, candy figures of different shapes, stalls sitting around eating wontons, faces of gods and monsters in sacrifices, selling vegetables, fruits and snacks, and chatting teahouses, just like the stereotypes in memory, have everything, and the strangeness reveals a familiar feeling of being close at hand.
After walking through a few streets, it was almost noon inadvertently, Li Yunfeng was hungry, so he stopped at the nearest wine shop, ordered a few side dishes, a pot of wine, and chose to sit down in a window position diagonally opposite the drunken flower building, looking at the figure outside the window, Li Yunfeng felt a lot of emotion.
I don't know if there are any relatives missing their relatives in their hometowns far away, what are they doing now?
"Guest officer, this is the wine you ordered, you drink it first, and the food will be served immediately. The shopkeeper brought a pot of wine and a wine glass, bent down and said.
Li Yunfeng saw that the shopkeeper was bent down politely, and he also smiled slightly, "There is a second brother Lao." β
The little brother before the second child of the shop met looked at the face, his accent was unfamiliar, very polite, and a little surprised.
Li Yunfeng has long wanted to try the difference between the wines of this era, although he doesn't drink much, he might as well be curious, so he got himself a cup and poured himself a drink.
The mouth is not spicy, the wine is not heavy, and there is some aroma in the sweetness.
Li Yunfeng frowned slightly, sure enough, it can't be compared with the wine of later generations, what is the difference between this and cocktails?
Seeing Li Yunfeng's expression, he thought that the guest officer was dissatisfied, and hurriedly said: "The little brother is not used to drinking? β
Li Yunfeng couldn't drink spirits in the first place, the reason why he wanted to drink it was purely out of curiosity, where would he blame, so he said with relief: "Little second brother doesn't need to be like this, this wine is excellent." β
Li Yunfeng's previous "Little Brother Youlao" made the second brother of this shop happy, and at this time, seeing him so polite, he thought about chatting a few more words, and said: "Little brother looks at the face, and the accent is not like an authentic local, but is he from other places traveling here?"
Li Yunfeng was not familiar with the place, so he wanted to learn more about the world, so he immediately talked with the shopkeeper.
"The second brother has good eyesight, but I have just arrived, and I have been in this city for two days, and I haven't seen anything surprising, and I plan to leave tomorrow. Li Yunfeng smiled.
"The little brother laughed, this deciduous city is located in the middle of nowhere, it is a small city, most of the people who come here are people from the surrounding area to buy and exchange goods, and most of the outsiders come here to rest, where there will be something surprising, but it is a little closer to the double mountain, and it is just stained. β
"Shuangzhu Mountain?" Li Yunfeng was full of curiosity.
Seeing Li Yunfeng's puzzled face, the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask: "Little brother went out to travel, since you don't know about Shuangzhu Mountain, then why is the little brother here?"
Li Yunfeng was embarrassed, "Don't hide it, it's my first time traveling, and I don't know much about the great mountains and rivers in this Liang country." β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately understood and said, "Oh, it turns out that the little brother is from Shangbang and is a scholar from the Jingyu Dynasty. β
Jingyu Dynasty is a well-known dynasty, "Jingtai ten years" under the prosperous era, poems and books are passed on, and there are many scholars who travel to study.
Where does Li Yunfeng know what Jingyu Dynasty is, but he is thick-skinned, and he can only be the old god at the moment, smiling and nodding, "What the little second brother said is exact." β
"That being the case, then I will recommend a few good places for Childe, there is really a grand event right now, Childe has come here to travel, it is really impossible to miss it. Seeing Li Yunfeng nodding and admitting that he was a scholar from the Jingyu Dynasty, the shopkeeper felt a little more admiration in his heart, and his eyes became respectful, secretly thinking that he was worthy of being a scholar, no wonder he was so polite, and even his title had changed.
"The event, the little second brother might as well say it, if it's really a good place to go, help me grow a little knowledge, I can't say that I have to admit a little bit of affection to the little second brother." Li Yunfeng said a few words with great skill, as if he had acquiesced to his new identity.
The shopkeeper is also sexual, and he usually doesn't necessarily meet such a chatty out-of-town reader, so he continued: " Childe's trip is bound to go to Shuangzhu Mountain, out of the north city gate, along the carriage and horse avenue all the way forward, on the way to the front of Qingshui City will see two towering peaks, that is the world-famous Shuangzhu Mountain, just before this, the terrain all the way up, there is a high mountain in front of less than Shuangzhu Mountain, called Yunding Mountain, legend has it that the mountain is the cultivation place of the gods and goddesses of Chongxuanguan, after a few days, it is the birthday of Laojun, Chongxuanguan will hold a grand event, there will be a lot of pilgrims who go into the mountain to pray for blessings in Sanqing Temple, if Gongzi can not recognize the road at that time, but can be with the pilgrims who go up the mountainγ β
Li Yunfeng was calm on the surface, but he had some longing in his heart, cultivating the Tao?
"Oh, since there is such a grand event, I really can't miss it, and I have more guidance from the second brother. Li Yunfeng pretended to make a gesture.
The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, "I can't be a son, and it's a small blessing to be able to chat with my son, so I should be touched by the nobility of a scholar." β
Li Yunfeng just thought about chatting a few more words, when he saw a slender figure coming in from the door of the wine shop, it was a woman, about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed like a maid, and carrying two wine jugs in her hands.
The shopkeeper followed his gaze, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, the young scholar who was good at talking before meeting was full of suspicion, and opened his mouth to explain: "Childe, that's the maid from the drunken flower building in front, and I have been to the wine shop a few times, and each time I have indicated that I want to 'lijiu', our small place doesn't mind these women showing up." β
Li Yunfeng nodded slightly, and the owner of the wine shop began to shout.
The shopkeeper apologized slightly, "Childe, the little one won't delay your meal, just let me know if you have any instructions." β
Li Yunfeng smiled slightly, "Where is the little second brother, you can go and get busy." β
The shopkeeper confessed and turned around and went busily.
I don't think I'm really hungry when I chat, Li Yunfeng picked up the chopsticks, and the wind was whirling, and it was also a loss that the shopkeeper was not there, otherwise he would have eaten like this...
After eating and drinking, Li Yunfeng threw down a few coins of silver and walked out of the door, and saw that the little lady who had just finished drinking had already crossed the street and went to the back alley of Zuihualou.
Li Yunfeng was curious, and originally planned to go for a visit to this drunken flower building, but after a little hesitation, he raised his legs and walked in the direction where the little lady's figure disappeared.
