------

This small village is very dilapidated, and the houses are basically earthen houses, and there are only twenty or thirty families at a glance.

It was the morning, and there was a crowd in front of a family, which seemed to be holding a banquet, and Lu Xihua led the big cat with a bag and walked to that house.

Before he could get closer, someone found Lu Xihua holding the big cat and exclaimed, "The leopard is coming!

The screams of the crowd frightened the big cat while baring his teeth nervously and letting out a low warning roar, while grabbing Lu Xihua's calf, hiding behind, poking out his head and looking out. Seeing this, Lu Xihua hurriedly squatted down and picked up the big cat, pillowed the big cat's head in the crook of his neck, and gently stroked its head over and over again, and the big cat quieted down.

People grabbed their children tightly to prevent them from running around, and a few young men with hoes, woodcutters, and sickles rushed out of the yard, and shouted loudly while rushing out, "Where is the leopard?" Seeing the big cat in Lu Xihua's hand, he looked at each other suspiciously, and the farm tools in his hands loosened slightly.

"Friend, where are you from?" a man in the prime of life was the first to speak.

Lu Xihua said politely, "I am a traveler who traveled here, and the train that got off the other side of the mountain took a few days to climb over these mountains. I want to buy something from you guys to replenish it. ”

The middle-aged man probably didn't know what a traveler was, so after thinking about it, he estimated that it was a tourist, and discussed a few words with a few other whispers.

"What's the matter with the leopard?" asked another man.

"I met it in the mountains, fed it a few times, and then refused to leave, and had to follow me. Lu Xihua let go of a hand and signaled that he had no intention of imprisoning the big cat.

A few people looked at the big cat that was huddled in a ball, and it was true that the leopard was afraid that it was being held by Lu Xihua, which was really not like those smuggling animal dealers. Those people generally hide the animal in a bag or car, put it with anesthetic, don't let it move, and hide it, where is Lu Xihua so openly held in his arms.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Today we have a distinguished guest here, the village chief has a treat, if you are willing to come and eat, we welcome it." ”

Lu Xihua looked at these villagers who were not wealthy, all of them were disgraced, and shook his head, "I have food for myself, do you have home-brewed grain and wine in your village?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded, turned back to the courtyard and shouted, "Wang Decai, business has come to the door, someone wants to buy your wine!"

"Come, come, who's going to buy my wine. A dry, thin old man hurriedly ran out of the yard.

"This brother wants to buy wine, you talk to him. The middle-aged man pointed to Lu Xihua, turned around and returned to the courtyard with a few other companions, there are guests today, the big and small mothers-in-law in the courtyard are busy, there are a lot of things, and they can't delay their efforts here.

Wang Decai squinted at Lu Xihua, and when he saw the leopard Lu Xihua was holding on his chest, he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Lu Xihua said embarrassedly, "Uncle, don't be afraid, this is a little leopard, who came from the mountains and won't bite." If you're afraid, just stand away and talk to me. ”

Wang Decai wiped his sweat and nodded, "That's okay, I'll stay away from you." I heard that the young man is going to buy grain and wine?"

Lu Xihua nodded, "That's right, if the degree is higher, I want to make medicinal wine." Do you have one?"

Wang Decai grinned at this time, revealing a few yellow teeth, "Home-brewed, absolutely strong, how much do you want?"

Lu Xihua thought for a while, "Do you have a small wine jar?" I'll buy twenty catties first, how much will it cost?"

Wang Decai's eyes purred a few times, and he hurriedly went down the steps, walked to the side, and beckoned to Lu Xihua, "Let's go! Lu Xihua looked at it and hurriedly followed.

At this time, someone in the crowd held his throat and shouted, "Wang Decai, don't bully others to be foreigners and shout prices." Young man, his wine is worth four or five dollars, and if it is too much, it is not worth it!" caused everyone to laugh.

Wang Decai was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded: "Who, who is it! Stand up! I slept with your mother-in-law! What a lack of virtue! How much does Lao Tzu want to sell for your baby? Come out and show off here, you have the ability to go home and sleep with your mother-in-law, don't show your hair here!"

At this time, someone held his throat and spoke, "My mother-in-law is not as expensive as your mother-in-law, and she is locked at home every day, and she is not afraid of scaring outsiders." Hahaha. ”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, an old voice said, "Who has no way to talk, talk nonsense everywhere? Go! Go back to the yard to help, don't be idle and have nothing to do, and fart outside!"

The crowd no longer giggled, but listened to the old voice's words and walked to the courtyard.

Wang Decai turned his anger into a laugh, "Don't listen to them, go, go to my house." Let me tell you, several villages around here buy wine from me, and the wine is absolutely good. ”

The road in the village is twisted and complicated, twisting and turning, and it takes about ten minutes to climb the hill and walk down the hill before you come to a dilapidated yard. The courtyard sits under a mountain beam, surrounded by dense bamboo forests, and the smell of wine fills the air. Before entering the courtyard gate, a big black dog pounced out and barked at Lu Xihua.

At this moment, the big cat on Lu Xihua's body struggled to get off the ground, twisting and twisting in Lu Xihua's hands.

Lu Xihua knew that he might be provoked by the big black dog, and the big cat was not convinced and wanted to go down to the ground to compete with the big black dog. At this moment, it was the critical moment for Lu Xihua to buy wine, how could he let the big cat make trouble, so he slapped the big cat's butt a few times, "You kid is a little bit safe, you just got out of the mountain and you caused trouble." The big cat whimpered aggrievedly a few times, and then stopped moving.

Then he smiled and said to Wang Decai, "Uncle, please tie the black dog, my little leopard is a little nervous." ”

Wang Decai opened his yellow teeth and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just scold it a few words." After speaking, he scolded the big black dog a few times in the local dialect. Sure enough, the big black dog whined twice, turned around and went into the yard, lying far away under the eaves, staring at this side tightly, but no longer roaring.

When the two entered the courtyard, Wang Decai pointed to the two dozen vat under the pergola in the west courtyard, "These are all the wines I brewed, and they definitely taste good." ”

Lu Xihua followed Wang Decai's fingers and looked at the bamboo greenhouse, which was covered with thick bamboo mats, hidden in the thick bamboo shade, sheltering from the wind and rain and the sun. More than 20 dark clay vats, high shoulders and thin bottoms fat belly, the mouth of the cylinder is sealed with lotus leaves and palm leaves, and then covered with moisture-proof paper, and the mouth and neck are tied to death with a thin rope, and finally sealed with yellow mud. There are three or five open cylinders, on which is a layer of plastic film, and a sandbag is pressed on top of it, which crushes the mouth of the cylinder to death, and that's it, the smell of wine still floats in the air.

Lu Xihua put the big cat on the ground, held the mountaineering rope very tightly in his hand, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, this wine smells good, can you let me taste it?"

Wang Decai grinned, "Yes, of course." He took Lu Xihua to a wine vat with sandbags, removed the sandbag, uncovered the film, took a long bamboo leak from the crossbar in the shed, stretched it into the vat, picked up half a piece and handed it to Lu Xihua, "You try, this vat is the highest degree." ”

Lu Xihua took the bamboo leak, turned sideways, followed the leak, and poured the wine into his mouth in one gulp. The wine was spicy in the mouth, the throat was hot like charcoal, and a hot wire went down the esophagus to the stomach, and the stomach was warm, and the whole body immediately became hot.

Lu Xihua smiled, "This wine is good, I am very satisfied, how much is it? I will buy twenty catties first." ”

Wang Decai saw that Lu Xihua was satisfied, and rubbed his hands, "You also know that this high-grade liquor is not easy to brew..."

Lu Xihua didn't wait for him to finish speaking, knowing that this person wanted to sell for more money, he raised his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you can tell how much it is, I'll forget if it's too expensive." ”

Wang Decai hurriedly smiled, "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's twenty-one pounds." After speaking, he took his eyes and aimed at Lu Xihua.

"Okay, at this price, I'll come for twenty catties, do you have a small wine jar here? Install it for me!" Lu Xihua didn't bargain, this price may be expensive in the village, but it is very cheap in the city, and at this price, maybe it is still alcohol blending.

"Yes, yes, I have a small jar with ten catties of one jar, and a bamboo basket, two jars can be carried in a bamboo basket, or you can carry it, which is very convenient. You can give four hundred and fifty dollars. Wang Decai sold his own tools again, and his excited face turned red, and it was obvious that the price of the wine jar and bamboo basket had increased a lot.

Lu Xihua nodded, "You have prepared the jar and bamboo basket for me." Now, collect the money. He took out four hundred and fifty yuan from his wallet and handed it to Wang Decai.
