It's a piece of land within a radius of fifty paces. This place was shrouded in a milky white veil, and from time to time there were two crisp birdsongs, flowers, grasses and trees, but they were all permeated in this light veil-like mist, looming, as if there was nothing. Dong Qilang wondered, did he come to the Heavenly Palace, I am afraid that only the Heavenly Palace has such a wonderful realm.

It is true that this scene should only exist in heaven, and the world will not see it once.

He was about to make his way and look there. At this time, I heard the occasional bird call, and a very thin trace of the piano like fairy music, sandwiched in the bird call, coming from the southeast corner. If you don't have good hearing, or don't pay much attention, you won't be able to hear this sound in any way.

Dong Qilang thought that if there was the sound of the piano, someone must be stroking the piano. If you go in the direction of the sound of the piano, you will not be wrong.

There are a few stone steps at the foot, there is a plant of evergreen on both sides of the steps, flashing green light, down the steps, a stone wall more than ten meters long suddenly appears on the left, the stone wall is hung full of creepers, and there is a wisteria rose, just like a city wall, blocking the wind blowing from the northwest direction.

Dong Qilang walked forward, walked more than ten steps, and saw that except for the stone wall and a grass hut in the northwest and southeast, there were fences more than two feet high all around.

Some are a clump of green leaves, some are budding, and some are blooming. The fragrance of flowers on this stone cliff mainly comes from the orchids on several sides.

At this time, he could see a small patch of trees in front of him, and there was a grass hut in the southeast, from which the sound of the harp he had just heard came.

Look at the thatched house, the lintel on the three Lishu big characters "Xingshilu", there are more than ten meters long, the height of the house is not more than two meters, people must be careful to enter and exit, afraid of bumping heads, the area can be seventy or eighty square.

Behind the thatched hut there were a few miscellaneous trees that rose above the roof, and in the mist, the miscellaneous trees looked like a group of brides, dressed in white wedding dresses, holding the pipa and half-covering their faces, afraid of seeing people, and hiding in it shyly.

Dong Qilang was afraid of startling the piano player, so he wanted to stand in the middle of this small garden and greet the piano player in the thatched hut. I was about to speak, but I heard the pleasant sound of the piano suddenly "sonorous" and stopped. A phrase came from the room:

"Come in, boy. The old man just bounced on Xing's head, and he forgot about it again. Come in and I'll take a look, see if you're really talented or opportunistic? If you're cheating, then don't blame the old man for being polite, I'll throw you off this cliff. ”

Dong Qilang listened to this voice, it was an agitated and slightly arrogant voice, I don't know who was inside, but listening to the voice, that person might be a person who was not very easy to get along with. When he came, he was not afraid, and the ugly daughter-in-law would have to see her in-laws sooner or later, so she went to meet the piano master, and he said to the door of the thatched hut:

"Dong Qilang, the junior who came out of nowhere, came to disturb the seniors. ”

"Let you in, and you will come in. I'm going to see what you're really learning. Don't mother-in-law. ”

Dong Qilang strode in. When he entered the door, he first saw several pots of orchids, all of which were in full bloom, and the faint fragrance of orchids and strong wine filled the whole room.

The ground behind the orchid is full of wine jugs of different sizes, from one catty to five catties, these jugs are of all kinds, all kinds of colors, some look fresher, some look older, some have words on them, and some do not have any marks on them.

These flasks are divided into several categories according to certain standards, arranged in several squares, as if you see the wine jar below, it is simply the world of wine jugs.

And that's not all, on the walls around the orchid hut, there are many wooden cabinets and chests made of wooden strips. Some of the wooden cabinets had doors closed, some of them open, and some of the chests were open and some of them were closed.

There are several wisteria roses in the center of this room, which divides the whole room into three parts, the left part is mainly for wine, there are three wisteria roses in the middle of the room, a small square table is hidden, and there is a guqin next to it, where an old man sits with his back to Dong Qilang.

Dong Qilang only saw his back, his hair was gray, his waist was straight, he was not hunched at all, and he looked thinner.

In front of the guqin and the old man's right, there are two wisteria trees, separating them, and there is a curved ruler-shaped corner, which is twelve or thirteen squares, not very good, I don't know what is in it.

"After reading it, I've smelled enough, and I can sit down. I have a little wooden bench here, no one has come to sit on it for many years, and you are lucky to be here. ”

The somewhat haughty voice said again.

"Yes, Senpai. ”

After Dong Qilang finished speaking, he walked over respectfully.

Next to the guqin, there is indeed a stool, which is a very low wooden stool, as if it was specially made for sitting there and playing the qin or enjoying it.

"Dong Qilang greeted his seniors. ”

Dong Qilang clasped his hands into fists and said to the old man.

The old man did not look up, put his hands in his sleeves, closed his eyes, and said:

"The boy drank seventy-eight bowls, wrote poems with a sword, and carved each word into the stone wall to a depth of two inches and two minutes, skillful, good. Let's taste the bar again. ”

Speaking of this, the old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Dong Qilang, and said:

"Go to the front right, take the two luminous glasses at the back, then go behind the orchid, find the rosewood cabinet, and bring the purple flask. ”

This was the first time Dong Qilang saw the old man's face. It was a gloomy and cold face, with white eyebrows and three locks of black beard that reached the belly.

The old man sat on a futon, with a guqin in front of him, and there was a low table next to the piano, and a wooden box was placed on the low table, which contained a few beads, I don't know what material it was, and it was glowing green.

On the ground next to the guqin, there is a half-cut glass bottle, and the label on it is not clear to read. The mouth of the half glass bottle is flat and smooth, and for some reason only half of it is left.

When Dong Qilang heard the old man say that he still wanted to drink, he was a little stunned. Fighting with the monk below, you can also force the wine out of the body, here, there are no fine seams and grooves on the ground, how to do it? He couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart.

Seeing that the old man arranged for himself in a tone that could not be ignored, he also heard that there was no malice in his words. Dong Qilang followed what the old man said, and walked behind the two wisteria trees in the southeast first.

Like the entrance here, there are densely packed objects, there are wine jugs, and here are wine glasses.

There were no less than two hundred wine glasses on top of each other. According to the size, material, and color, the wine glass is divided into three layers, some are placed on a layer of wooden boards, some are packed in cardboard boxes, some are packed in wooden boxes, and some are packed in iron boxes.

Some are eight in a row, some are five, some are three, some are two, the most are twelve, and the least is one.

Dong Qilang didn't study the wine and the wine glass, so he just walked carefully to the innermost part according to the old man's instructions to find out where the glow-in-the-dark glass was.

He saw that there were three wooden boxes in the innermost, one on the left was a red box, one on the right was yellow, and the middle one was rosewood. But I didn't see the word luminous cup written on the box.

Dong Qilang was inconvenient to ask, he guessed, the old man asked me to look for a rosewood cabinet behind the orchid, since he arranged it like this, there must be a reason, what kind of wine glass should be with what kind of famous wine. The rosewood box in the middle is what the old man wants.

He boldly opened the rosewood box, and there were two cups inside, and there were no words on them, both of which were milky white on the upper part and crimson on the lower half.

He took the cup out, put the box back in its place, walked back, and placed the cup on the low table. Then he went to the back of the orchid, and went to find the rosewood cabinet and the purple wine jug.

This time, it's easy. He walked to the back of the orchid and saw a rosewood cabinet, which, when opened, contained only a purple flask. The flask is in the shape of a wine bottle with a lid made of wood and a layer of animal skin. Dong Qilang didn't know what this operation was, so he brought the purple wine jug over and placed it on the low table together.

"This is Xinjiang wine, which has been produced for at least 300 years. The cap was sealed with corks and sheepskins. I know you don't understand alcohol. I'll just give you a brief introduction.

Why is it sealed with cork, this cork is almost not affected by thermal expansion and contraction, and sheepskin is the least affected by thermal expansion and contraction compared with other leathers, such as cowhide, pigskin, etc.

No matter how long you leave it for a long time, it fits snugly like the cap, the wine will not evaporate, and it will not leak, as long as you place the flask in a cool and dry place, it will not be bad if it is left for a thousand years.

As for why you use a glow-in-the-dark cup? Of course, this is a certain amount of exquisiteness, the ancients said:

'Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?' You kid has the courage to dare to take on such a big thing in the martial arts, I think it is different from the strong men who fought on the battlefield in ancient times. So today let you stutter through a wine, which is wine.

This drinking is also divided into fast drying, slow drinking, drinking, booze and tasting. Those who dry quickly are often farmers or drunkards; those who drink slowly are either officials or merchants; those who drink are either scholars who know a little bit of literature and ink or older people; those who drink heavily are often knights who walk the rivers and lakes; and those who taste carefully are those who really understand wine.

There is no one who understands wine today, I am only half a person who understands wine, and the other half understands wine, you have the opportunity to meet. I'm going to take some time to taste a few wines with you today and see what you understand about them.

Okay, you open the wine, let's finish the bottle first, you taste the wine first. ”

Dong Qilang pulled out the cork, and the sheepskin also came out with the cork. At first, Dong Qilang thought that the sheepskin was already broken, but he didn't expect that the sheepskin was still intact.

As soon as the cork was uncorked, the whole room was filled with a strong aroma of wine, which was different from the wine drunk below, which was strong, but not impulsive, and the wine below, as soon as it smelled, there was a feeling of wanting to kill it and destroy it immediately.

Dong Qilang poured half a cup of each cup, and he didn't know how much to pour, so he poured one and a half cups first.

"Pour another two, you're pouring five now, this wine in a luminous glass, the best is a seven. There is a line at the seventh point of the luminous glass, and this wine is exactly here, and it will have two colors. You pour it first. ”
